Chapter 100 Making Things Difficult
"Isn't this our Deputy Division Commander He's wife?"
Xiaoling's voice was full of sarcasm.
"You go out with only one person with you? How does that fit the image of a military officer's wife?"
"I think we should assign you at least three or four people, right? Someone has to do things like serving tea and water."
Xinli didn't know what this person was up to. Seeing that Aunt Yang was a little angry, she tugged at Aunt Yang's sleeve and said softly, "Don't get angry over these people, let's go."
Xiaoling and Xie Shuangshuang are like leeches, once they're on, they can't be removed.
Xin Li wasn't afraid, not only because she was capable, but also because she was all alone and had nothing left except her husband, He Mingzhou.
It's impossible for Xie Shuangshuang and the others to do anything to her.
But Aunt Yang was different.
She still has children to support, and besides, Aunt Yang wasn't exactly living a good life on the island.
It's already hard enough to just survive, how can Xinli drag people into her own affairs?
She remembered that she also planned to talk to Aunt Yang about seafood exports, so she didn't want to deal with Xiaoling, who was crazy, and wanted to take Aunt Yang in another direction.
"Wait a moment!"
Xinli wanted to avoid it, but Xiaoling wouldn't let her have her way.
Did I let you leave?
"Xinli, is this how people on your island treat their guests?"
"Don't you plan to be a good host and show us around this island?"
This was the time when everyone had just finished breakfast and was planning to head to the square to check things out. Xiaoling's shout drew the attention of many people who hadn't noticed her earlier.
What happened?
They all knew that Xiaoling had come with the supply team and were worried that Xinli would anger the people delivering the supplies. They all said with unpleasant expressions, "Xinli, it's one thing for you to be a troublemaker on the island, but don't offend the important guests from outside."
"This isn't just your problem. You need to be careful and not mess things up."
Aunt Yang was displeased when she heard this: "What do you mean that our Xin Xin is usually a troublemaker on the island? Our Xin Xin is honest and law-abiding, and never argues or quarrels with anyone. She and Xiao He live a happy life behind closed doors. How come she is the one who messes things up in your mouth?"
Don't you feel guilty saying that?
As Xinli listened to Aunt Yang's defense, her gaze swept over those people.
This is indeed a strange thing.
Previously, she had been completely accepted by the people on the island because of her beachcombing.
But at least they can get by normally.
Everyone is busy, so naturally they don't have time to make things difficult for a young girl.
Moreover, Xinli took out so many things during the typhoon.
Unless someone is heartless and cruel, no one will deliberately make things difficult for her.
Xinli was completely accepted by the people on the island at that time.
Who could have imagined that the situation would change so drastically in such a short time?
After a moment's thought, Xinli suddenly understood.
When you offer benefits, people are naturally more willing to have a good chat with you.
But things change once individual interests are involved.
Uncle Shi set a very bad example for everyone.
Although no one would follow Uncle Shi's example, everyone was still very dissatisfied with Xin Li's involvement in the matter.
That's why everyone came directly to cause trouble for Xinli.
Xinli shrugged helplessly.
have to.
We were back to square one.
Therefore, people are not afraid of encountering bad people, but they are afraid of encountering opportunists.
Bad people can be thoroughly bad, but opportunists always waver between two sides, and you still need to think carefully about whether you can continue to get along with them.
"Fellow villagers, there's no need to be so angry."
Xiaoling was very pleased to see everyone on her side. She glanced at Xinli and said softly, "I just want Xinli to accompany me for a walk."
“After all, everyone is very busy. I heard that Xinli doesn’t have much to do here, so why don’t you come and be my tour guide?”
After Xiaoling finished speaking, she gave Xinli a fake look.
"Xinli, this shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"
“Actually, I could ask someone else, but I heard that everyone is busy after the typhoon, so I…”
Aunt Yang was disgusted to death by Xiaoling's behavior.
Just as she was about to retort, Xinli grabbed her arm.
"It's alright, Aunt Yang. She wants me to take her shopping, so I'll take her."
Xiaoling's scheming nature was written all over her face.
Xinli knew this person was up to no good, and if she refused him this time, she wouldn't be able to refuse him next time.
It would be better to just pin Xiaoling down right now, so she won't dare to bother her again next time.
"Are you really going to take her?"
Aunt Yang was very anxious.
These people are clearly here to bully Xinli. Who knows what they might do after they take her away?
"Auntie, don't worry about me."
Xinli gave Aunt Yang a reassuring look.
Aunt Yang suddenly remembered Xin Li's ability to beat people up at the dock, and suddenly everything became clear to her.
Yes, Xin Li is not the kind of girl who is easy to bully.
"Then go ahead."
Everyone was somewhat surprised that Aunt Yang released the person so readily.
But Xiaoling didn't give anyone else a chance to speak and urged Xinli to leave.
Aunt Yang watched the two people walk away, shaking her head helplessly.
These people are all really a handful.
Seeing this, the others all took the opportunity to kick Aunt Yang while she was down.
"Aunt Yang, you're so good to Xinli. Are you so protective of her because you know she has a bright future?"
"As for the future army commander's wife, shouldn't we try our best to curry favor with her?"
"Hey, Aunt Yang, don't go!"
Aunt Yang ignored these people and turned to leave quickly.
"Tch, this is boring. It seems they think they've climbed the social ladder and now they look down on us too."
"Alright, let's get out of here. Don't get involved in these things anymore. What does it have to do with us?"
Aunt Yang didn't respond, and everyone found it boring. After a few chirps, they all left.
On the other end, Xinli asked Xiaoling where she planned to go for a stroll.
"I heard there are places on your island where you can go beachcombing? Can you take me to see it?"
Xin Li raised an eyebrow: "What are you going there for? The typhoon just passed and there aren't any seafood options left for you."
Xiaoling raised her eyebrows: "I told you to take me, so why didn't you just take me? Why all the fuss? Shouldn't you be taking me where I want to go?"
If someone else heard this, they would definitely be scared and immediately change direction.
But who is Xinli? Everyone says she's a troublemaker, so she doesn't care how Xiaoling reacts.
"Sorry, I'm new to the island too, and I'm not familiar with this place. But since you're going to have fun anyway, I'll take you wherever I want."
"Let's go visit the first attraction."
Xinli grabbed Xiaoling by the collar and led her to the vicinity of Zhang Chen's chicken coop, which had been destroyed by the flood.
A foul smell of chicken droppings hit Xiaoling, almost making her vomit: "Ugh—you, you did this on purpose!"
