Chapter 241 Uninvited Guests
Su Ying stretched her neck, picked up the shovel and gathered the burning straw together.
But two more women came in at the door, one was tall, and the other had a pigtail, and they looked very hardworking and capable.
As soon as the two men came in, they picked up the brooms and helped sweep the yard.
"You just moved in, right? We're neighbors, so we'll help you clean up."
These two women looked easy to get along with, which reminded Su Ying of Mrs. Wu and the others in Jiangcheng, so she also talked to them with a smile.
From them, she learned that one of them was the wife of the military chief of staff, and the other was the wife of another division commander. Both of them had been with the army for many years, had been living here, and had children at home.
"Su Ying, Commander Qin's wife just came, right? That woman doesn't like to smile, is very arrogant, and doesn't speak nicely. Just ignore her. You'll understand her over time."
Su Ying was actually quite curious about that woman. At first glance, she seemed to be an intellectual and elegant woman, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her arrogance could not be concealed.
The chief of staff's wife whispered to Su Ying.
"Her family used to be a scholarly one. Song Lanzhi had studied abroad and taught at a university after she came here. But then she fell in love with Commander Qin, so she resigned, got married, and followed the army here."
Su Ying couldn't quite understand why she had to quit her job to get married. Was she in another city before? Were they from different places?
But immediately another sister-in-law whispered.
"I heard she had a murky relationship with one of her classmates, and her family was afraid she'd embarrass herself, so they married her off to Commander Qin. Didn't you see Commander Qin is much older than her?"
Su Ying was surprised at first, then blinked. Older? It seemed like she was quite a bit older than Gu Jinghong. But their teacher-student relationship was a bit... not allowed in this era, right?
"Then, doesn't her husband know?"
Both sisters-in-law shook their heads.
"We don't know about that. After all, Commander Qin's identity is there. Who would dare to speculate? But everyone just talks about it behind his back."
Su Ying didn't take this gossip seriously. Since these two sisters-in-law helped her, she invited them into the house and each of them had a can of food. After chatting, they became familiar with each other.
But she didn't expect that Song Lanzhi would come again the next day. She was wearing a pair of black wide-leg trousers, a pair of black high heels, and a tweed coat. She stood at the door looking at Su Ying.
Su Ying frowned and didn't intend to pay attention to her. Since the other party didn't say anything, she pretended not to see it.
But Song Lanzhi walked in, looked at the vegetable garden for a while, and then looked into the house.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Song Lanzhi said arrogantly without a smile on her face.
"I heard the sound of a piano the other day. Do you have a piano at home?"
Su Ying didn't say anything, just looked at her coldly.
Song Lanzhi straightened her coat and raised her chin slightly.
"I've been practicing piano since I was a child and have always loved it. Can I take a look at your piano?"
Su Ying was turning the soil with a shovel, talking as she turned.
"Sorry, I'm busy today. Can you read it another day?"
Song Lanzhi's beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned.
"You can do your work. I can go and see it myself. I don't need you to accompany me."
Su Ying paused what she was doing and glanced at her.
"My door is locked and I don't have the key."
With such an obvious rejection, other people would definitely not ask, but Song Lanzhi seemed to be naturally insensitive to these words, or perhaps she heard them but didn't care.
"Go find Master Gu and ask for the key. You can't just stay at home forever, right? I'll tell you where Master Gu is. Go quickly."
