Not far away, Chu Yue, who was chatting with Chen Fengying and others, suddenly sneezed.
“A-choo—”
Chen Fengying immediately said nervously, "Sister Chu, you are sneezing for no reason, someone must be scolding you. Hurry up and say 'Puh, Puh, Puh!' I will scold you back."
Other sisters-in-law echoed, "Yes, yes, yes! Let's help you curse back."
Everyone said this because they knew very well who was cursing and they all tacitly stood on Chu Yue's side.
They all knew that from today onwards, Li Jinhua could no longer stay in the compound. Chu Yue helped everyone get rid of a scourge in the compound, and she was so happy in her heart that she couldn't contain herself.
Faced with the predictable curses, Chu Yue seemed unconcerned. She shook her head and smiled lightly.
"It's just a few scoldings. I don't listen to them and I don't take it to heart. It won't hurt me. But the person who scolded me spent so much energy and made herself upset. She will shorten her life and won't live long."
Chen Fengying was stunned at first when she heard Chu Yue's words. She didn't expect Chu Yue to be so broad-minded and not care at all. If it were her, she would probably rush over and have a big quarrel with Mrs. Li.
But when I calmed down and thought about it carefully, I realized that everything Chu Yue said was correct.
To live a long life, you must have a broad mind. Mrs. Li is almost sixty years old. If she keeps making a fuss like this every day, she will not have many days left to live.
"Sister Chu, you...you...you are so young, how can you think so clearly? I wish I could live like you and be clear about everything."
Chen Fengying couldn't help but feel envy when she looked at Chu Yue.
Chu Yue answered in her heart that it was because she had "died" once, so naturally she looked down upon many things. Now the only people she cared about were Lu Zhanlin and Lu Yuanbao, who were her lovers and relatives.
Seeing that Chu Yue was so open-minded, the sisters-in-law didn't need to persuade her anymore. They had come to check on her because they were worried that Chu Yue must be feeling aggrieved after hearing Li Jinhua cursing.
There is no need to talk about that annoying person Li Jinhua anymore. The sisters-in-law have more important things to care about.
"Sister Chu, is Captain Lu back? Is he in the house?"
As soon as Chen Fengying asked this question, the other two sisters-in-law immediately pricked up their ears and covered their mouths with their hands and laughed. Who wouldn't like to hear about the bedroom affairs of a newlywed couple?
Chu Yue looked back at the lighted room and could vaguely see a tall figure through the open door.
She took a look, and the corners of her mouth lifted unconsciously, smiling lightly, "Well, he came back early today, and he was washing the dishes after dinner."
"Huh?!" +3
There was a sudden gasp sound, three times in a row.
Chen Fengying and the other three stared at Chu Yue with their eyes wide open, as if they had heard an Arabian Nights fairy tale, and their jaws almost dropped.
"You...what did you say?"
"Captain Lu... Captain Lu, he... he's washing the dishes?"
Is that Captain Lu the cold and fierce Lu Zhanlin that they all know, the one that ordinary people don’t even dare to talk to?
Chu Yue didn't find it strange. She cooked and he washed the dishes. Men and women divided the work and made the work less tiring. This was how the family could be harmonious. Wasn't it a normal thing?
Besides, Lu Zhanlin doesn't just wash dishes, he also washes clothes and bed sheets.
I was so scared just by washing dishes. If I told my sisters-in-law about other things, they would probably think I was hallucinating.
Besides... Lu Zhanlin also has to save face outside.
Chu Yue changed her words and said, "Yuan Bao wanted to learn how to wash dishes, so I came out and Zhan Lin taught him and watched him to prevent him from breaking the dishes. They cost money."
“I see…”
The sisters-in-law nodded and sighed in low voices.
The few of them didn't chat for long after that. When it got dark, they said goodbye to Chu Yue and left for home.
On the way back, Chen Fengying and the other three had a heated discussion.
"Is what you said true? Is it really Captain Lu who is washing dishes at Miss Chu's house?"
"I think it's true! Miss Chu doesn't seem like a person who would lie. Look how naturally she speaks."
"I think it's true too! Did you notice Miss Chu's hands? They are so soft and white, not at all as rough as our hands. You can tell at a glance that they have never worked before."
"But isn't Miss Chu from the countryside? In the countryside, girls have to work in the fields? Has she never worked?"
"What's wrong with the countryside? Why do you have any prejudice against people from the countryside? Can't there be good girls from the countryside? Miss Chu doesn't look rustic at all, and she's even educated. There are also promising girls from our countryside!"
Chen Fengying patted her chest, feeling so proud, and felt that Chu Yue had brought honor to them, the military wives who came from the countryside.
The three people's conversation went on and on, and finally turned into a conversation of envious anger.
"Captain Lu can wash dishes at home, but my stinky man at home even needs me to prepare footbath water! It really piss me off!"
Three days after this little episode, Li Jinhua left the compound.
Zhou Zhijian gave Li Jinhua the last three days. During these three days, Li Jinhua took away all the big and small things in the house. Wang Chunling didn't care about it.
Moreover, Chu Yue had reminded her before that there was no need to care too much about someone who was leaving. The more greedy Li Jinhua acted, the better Zhou Zhijian could see Li Jinhua's true face.
So Wang Chunling didn't say a word the whole time and just focused on taking care of the children.
Three days later, early in the morning.
There were bags of all sizes piled up in front of Wang Chunling's house, like a small mountain. Li Jinhua couldn't carry them all by herself, but she insisted on taking them away.
"Mrs. Li, are you leaving alone, or are you and your whole family moving? All the things in our house put together don't have as much as you do. I can't believe you sent so much money to your youngest son, and you still have money to spend on yourself? No wonder Wang Chunling was so thin when she was pregnant, you plundered her, didn't you?"
What Li Jinhua hates to hear most these days is the word "youngest son". If this secret had not been discovered, Zhou Zhijian would not have been so ruthless to her and insisted on driving her away.
Li Jinhua was so angry that she wanted to quarrel with someone, but was finally called back by Zhou Zhijian.
"Mom! Isn't this embarrassing enough for you? Do you want me to lose face in this compound? Let's go! Let's go now!"
Zhou Zhijian took a day off and personally watched over Li Jinhua as she went to the station. He was too lazy to even look at her any longer and just walked over, picked up Li Jinhua's bags, and strode forward.
"Son...son...Zhijian...don't walk so fast, wait for mom!"
Li Jinhua had no time to argue with others and hurriedly chased Zhou Zhijian. The two of them hurried out of the compound.
What a coincidence.
That morning, Song Hongmei said she had something to discuss with Chu Yue, and asked Chu Yue to wait for her at the gate of the compound early in the morning.
Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao stood near the sentry box at the entrance of the compound, chasing Zhou Zhijian and Li Jinhua out of the compound.
Now, the two people just bumped into each other.
As the saying goes, enemies are jealous of each other.
