As soon as she finished speaking, Zeng Qingqing's face became even uglier. She hesitated for a long time before she spoke hesitantly: "An An, there is something I... I don't know whether I should tell you."
Shen Anan's heart tightened, and she felt that the matter was not simple, "Qingqing, just tell me what's going on."
Seeing this, Zeng Qingqing took a deep breath and finally spoke out the story:
"Last night, your Rufeng and my Lao Xu went to guard the reservoir, and later Yang Xiaoyue from the health center also went. You know, she has always been interested in Huo Rufeng. She almost fell into the reservoir last night, but it was probably intentional!
You have never seen that reservoir. The guardrails are very high. Unless you want to die on purpose, it is impossible for you to fall down. This is getting off topic...
Anyway, of course your Rufeng had to save her, and then... then she kept pestering him, and now people in the compound are saying that there is something unclear between Yang Xiaoyue and Huo Rufeng. ”
Shen Anan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She had never expected such a thing to happen. But she quickly calmed down. She knew Huo Rufeng's character and believed that he would not do anything to let her down.
But she didn't expect that Yang Xiaoyue was so troublesome!
As the two were chatting, Sister Liu passed by the gate of the hospital carrying a cloth bag, preparing to go to work at the health center. She glanced at Shen Anan, her eyes full of inexplicable meanings, as if hiding a bit of gloating.
The next moment, she shook her head, as if to express sympathy, but in fact her tone was full of sarcasm: "Look, this man, he can't be tied down by his face and figure alone. You are so..." She deliberately dragged out her voice, her eyes moved around Shen Anan, as if evaluating her clothes and behavior, "You love to dress up so much, spend money like water, which man can stand it?"
After hearing this, Shen Anan became furious, but she didn't want to argue with Sister Liu.
But Shen Anan ignored her, and Sister Liu was even more persistent, and continued: "Besides, Comrade Huo is very promising, and it's only a matter of time before someone like you lose his heart."
Sister Liu said, and she deliberately sighed and shook her head, as if she was sad about Shen Anan's future. Her hands unconsciously fiddled with the straps of the cloth bag, as if she was enjoying a good show.
After hearing these words, Shen Anan finally couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up straight and looked directly at Sister Liu, "It's not your turn to worry about my family's affairs. You should control your mouth and stop gossiping about others all day long. Your family is so poor, and you still have the time to care about other people's affairs. It's really hard for you."
Sister Liu was choked by Shen Anan's words. She didn't expect Shen Anan to fight back so directly. Her face turned red and white, and her lips moved, but she couldn't speak.
What can I say? What she stuffed in her cloth bag was not meat, but two cornmeal steamed buns!
Furious, Sister Liu could only stamp her feet and turn away, muttering as she left: "You don't know what's good for you."
Shen Anan directly withdrew his gaze.
She is not a person who likes to argue with others, but Sister Liu is too fond of gloating over other people's misfortunes, so there is nothing she can do but speak out against their pain.
Zeng Qingqing on the side looked at Shen Anan, her eyes full of admiration. She had seen Sister Liu's weird look too many times, and she felt aggrieved every time she encountered it, but she could never find the right words to fight back.
This time, seeing Shen Anan push Sister Liu back so neatly, she felt so happy, just like eating a piece of iced watermelon in the dog days of summer.
"An An, you are so amazing!" Zeng Qingqing couldn't help but admire her. She gave a thumbs up. "Sister Liu always looks superior, saying that others are not good in this or that. She can't manage her own family affairs well, and she always likes to meddle in other people's affairs. You made her speechless this time, which is really satisfying!"
After hearing what Zeng Qingqing said, Shen Anan felt relieved. She actually doesn't want to argue with others, but sometimes, you have to show your bottom line so that others will truly respect you.
"Qingqing, I'm just being pushed into a corner. The more you tolerate someone like Sister Liu, the more she'll think you're easy to bully."
After saying this, Shen Anan had a headache about Yang Xiaoyue. This person was not as easy to deal with as Sister Liu.
Many military wives passed by, and the looks they gave Shen Anan were also very meaningful.
Zeng Qingqing noticed the looks that the other military wives cast at Shen Anan. Although they did not directly say sarcastic words like Sister Liu, there seemed to be some inquiry and discussion in those glances. Shen Anan felt these gazes, and she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. Although her face was calm, there was a hint of embarrassment between her brows.
Zeng Qingqing gently touched Shen Anan's arm and whispered, "Anan, ignore them. It's just that it's not raining now. Let's go to the county town and relax."
Shen Anan glanced at Zeng Qingqing and nodded gratefully: “Okay, it’s good to go out for a walk.”
After the two of them had discussed it, they walked towards the station together. Zeng Qingqing thought that the rice at home was almost gone, so she had to go to the grain store in the county town to replenish some. Shen Anan planned to go to the grocery store to buy some seasonings. After all, Huo Rufeng usually lived alone and rarely cooked, so the kitchen at home was almost empty.
When they arrived at the county town, the two went to the grain store first. Zeng Qingqing picked out a few bags of rice with familiarity, and Shen Anan helped carry them. After buying rice, they went to the grocery store. Shen Anan carefully selected from the shelves, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper, aniseed... and put them into the basket one by one.
Zeng Qingqing looked at Shen Anan's careful selection and couldn't help but joked: "Anan, are you going to move the grocery store back home?"
Hearing this, Shen Anan smiled and responded: "Isn't it time to start cooking properly? The one at home doesn't usually cook, so I have to prepare everything."
The two of them walked and chatted, and time passed quickly. Although the unhappiness of the morning still remains in my heart, life has to go on, doesn't it?
Shen Anan and Zeng Qingqing got off the bus in the county town, carrying large and small bags in their hands, and were about to go home.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw Yang Xiaoyue walking towards me from the health center after get off work.
As soon as Yang Xiaoyue saw Shen Anan, a smug expression appeared on her face. When she got closer, she glanced at Shen Anan with a disdainful smile on her lips: "Oh, you guys are back from the county shopping? Did Huo Rufeng know that you bought so many things?"
Hearing this, Shen Anan frowned and did not respond. Zeng Qingqing felt that the atmosphere was not right, she grabbed Shen Anan's arm and signaled her not to be impulsive.
Seeing that Shen Anan didn't answer, Yang Xiaoyue became even more proud. She raised her voice with obvious sarcasm in her tone: "Shen Anan, I advise you to be sensible. You have no background, and it's a blessing to marry Huo Rufeng. Look at yourself, you only know how to spend money all day, how can you be worthy of him?"
She paused, then continued, "If Huo Rufeng is with me, it will be truly beneficial to his future. My father is the leader of the military region. With me, his future will be bright!"
