The wives of the soldiers, upon seeing the bag of fish scales and the two large fish in her hands, could not help but cast strange glances at her. Some began to whisper among themselves.
Only one of the voices was heard saying in a low voice:
"I've heard people say she's incredibly strong, but I didn't quite believe it at the time. But today I finally saw it with my own eyes! Look at her! She bought so many things, and she carries them around like they're just a piece of cake."
Another military wife next to him also quickly echoed:
"That's right. Hey, look at the attitude of Deputy Brigade Commander Lu's family. Is he planning to move the entire service center back to his home?"
At this time, another military wife interrupted:
"Oh, that's nothing. I heard that when she goes out to buy things, the way she spends money is amazing. It's simply something that ordinary people like us can't compare to!"
Then, another person echoed:
"That's right, she's just an ordinary military wife. How could she be so extravagant and wasteful?"
Another sister-in-law couldn't help but complain:
"That's not great. This is a shocking amount of money. Tell me, where did she get so much money from?"
At first everyone's voices were quiet, but as they talked, their voices became louder.
Just as everyone was talking excitedly, a figure hurried towards them.
Looking closely, it turned out to be Xiao Liu's sister-in-law, who had a very good relationship with Qin Wan. She walked lightly and her face was full of smiles.
Just now on the road, Xiao Liu's wife saw the things in Qin Wan's hands from a distance. Now she heard the people around her talking about it. As smart as she was, she immediately understood what was going on.
Then, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile, and said bluntly:
"Look at all of you, gossiping all over here. Are you jealous because you saw someone buy something nice? They're using their own money to buy whatever they want. What does this have to do with you?"
Most of the military dependents present were newcomers who had just arrived on the island and were relatively cautious and reserved in their dealings with others.
In fact, they knew in their hearts that it was not very kind to gather together and criticize others like this. Now that Sister Liu had exposed them in front of them, they felt a little embarrassed for a moment, lowering their heads with shame on their faces.
Seeing this, no one was embarrassed to respond to Xiao Liu's wife's words.
In order to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, one of the sisters-in-law quickly changed the subject and asked with a smile:
"Hey, Miss Liu, what are you planning to buy today?"
Seeing this, the others followed suit and diverted the topic to other places, starting to chat about some trivial matters in the family.
Qin Wan has always been very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and he heard every word that everyone said.
She couldn't help feeling speechless. As the saying goes, "Three women make a play." It is indeed a true saying!
Look at this group of women gathered together, chattering about the gossips of other people.
Can't these people think about it carefully? Her husband can get more than 100 yuan a month. Not to mention buying all these things, even if he spends a little more, it's more than enough.
Besides, she is not the kind of unemployed vagrant with no one to rely on and nothing to do.
Not only was her husband commended for his outstanding performance and promoted, but she herself was also praised and received a salary increase. It's just that her situation was relatively low-key and not widely publicized.
Qin Wan was carrying heavy objects and walked briskly, and soon arrived home.
She was too lazy to pay attention to the gossips from the military wives and didn't care at all.
In her opinion, those people simply ate and drank all day long, had nothing to do, and didn't know how to kill time except sitting around chatting and gossiping.
Well, that must be it!
Qin Wan's lips curled up slightly, creating a faint smile, as if she didn't care about the gossip around her. In her eyes, these were just boring actions made by boring people, and it was really not worth bothering herself with them.
However, Qin Wan's choice to ignore those people does not mean that they will stop paying attention to Qin Wan.
When Qin Wan walked back home with light steps, Aunt Yu, who was busy in the yard, immediately came to greet her. Her face was filled with concern and worry.
Seeing that she brought back a lot of things, I couldn't help but persuade her:
"Xiao Qin, you bought so many things again! You have to be more careful next time."
Hearing this, Qin Wan couldn't help but feel a little confused and asked quickly:
"Aunt Yu, what's going on? Why do you want me to pay attention? You know, we have many children. If we don't buy enough, there won't be enough food."
Aunt Yu approached Qin Wan cautiously and said in a low voice:
"Oh, today, when the children and I just walked to the gate of our courtyard, the girl next door suddenly ran out.
As she ran, she shouted, "Dabao, Dabao, you are finally back! Aunt Li has visited your home several times!"
My heart skipped a beat at that moment, and I felt that something was not right. So I quickly took out a piece of snack from my pocket and handed it to Niu Zi, coaxing her and saying:
"Niuniu, be good. Eat some snacks first and then talk slowly."
Hearing this, Qin Wan couldn't help laughing.
Aunt Yu has changed a lot in recent times.
Life here is good. She doesn't have to worry about food or clothes, and she doesn't have to worry about her daughter coming to her house to make trouble. She is in a good mood and always smiling. Not only is her body healthy and strong, but she has also become very generous.
When I take the kids out, I often buy them snacks out of my own pocket. I even insist on reducing my salary to 20 yuan, saying that the kids are obedient and not a big deal, so I don't need to pay that much.
In the end, Qin Wan had no choice but to agree to keep it temporarily and save it for her during the New Year.
Even though she is in her 50s, many people say she looks like she is in her 40s.
Aunt Yu didn't know what Qin Wan was thinking, she was still saying:
"Under my persuasion, Niuzi ate some cakes and said that Liu Yingmei had asked her about our family situation. You said that Liu Yingmei had a grudge against our family. What did she want to do by being near our house? Not to mention asking about our family situation!"
