Gao Lili thought of her exhausted husband and her heart was filled with pity.
Ever since my husband was transferred to work here, he has been very busy.
I have to stay up late into the night every day. Not only do I have to conduct in-depth and detailed investigations into various complex situations, but I also have to rack my brains to develop detailed and comprehensive plans, and even have to work hard to build closer relationships with other colleagues.
And the reason why he was so busy and hard-working was, in the final analysis, all because of that annoying sister-in-law!
When she thought of this, Gao Lili couldn't help but curse in her heart:
"This damn troublemaker! I don't know how much trouble he has caused us!"
However, even though she was full of resentment towards her sister-in-law, she could do nothing about it. After all, she was her husband's sister, and she couldn't just completely break up with her without considering their relationship, right?
Helplessly, Gao Lili could only sigh and think to herself:
"Never mind, now that I've already agreed to that troublemaker's request, I might as well go out and ask around. No matter what, it's best to get a basic understanding of the other party first. At least I need to find out their last name and full name."
So, Gao Lili cheered herself up, tidied her clothes, and prepared to go out to find out about her sister-in-law's affairs.
She hurriedly and carefully hung the freshly washed clothes one by one on the clothesline, making sure that each piece of clothing could get enough sunlight.
After finishing all this, she quickly tidied up her slightly messy hair and clothes, then walked quickly out the door.
Not long after Gao Lili went out, her attention was attracted by a group of people not far away.
I saw an old lady in her forties with a kind face standing there talking to two military wives, and around them were six or seven innocent children playing and fighting happily.
Seeing this, Gao Lili walked towards the group with a smile on her face and greeted them warmly:
"Hello, Auntie!"
"Hello, sisters-in-law!"
Hearing Gao Lili's greeting, the old lady immediately turned around and responded with a kind smile on her face:
"Hey, comrade, hello! You look unfamiliar. You must be the new captain's wife, right?"
Gao Lili nodded somewhat embarrassedly and replied with a smile:
"Yes, Auntie, you are right. I am new here and I am not familiar with many places. I hope you can take good care of me in the future."
Then she introduced herself:
"My surname is Gao, my given name is Gao Lili, and my husband is Gu Changxiao, who was recently transferred here."
When the old lady heard this, she laughed even more happily and said quickly:
"It's Xiao Gao, haha, welcome! I'm the distant aunt of our Deputy Brigade Commander Lu. My last name is Yu. You can just call me Aunt Yu from now on."
After saying that, he patted Gao Lili's arm affectionately to show his friendliness.
Compared to Aunt Yu's fiery enthusiasm, the attitudes of the two military wives seemed much colder.
They just nodded slightly to Gao Lili with expressionless faces, and then introduced themselves simply in an almost indifferent tone.
One of them spoke first:
"Comrade Gao, my surname is Luo, and I am the daughter-in-law of Captain Liu of the First Battalion of the Second Regiment."
After saying this, she didn't say another word, as if saying one more word would be a waste of her precious energy.
Another person then said:
"My last name is Wei, and my man's last name is Zhou."
She was also concise and to the point, with no other unnecessary words coming out of her mouth.
After the two of them introduced themselves, they seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding and shut their mouths together, refusing to make another sound.
The entire scene instantly fell into silence, and people felt that there was a depressing atmosphere in the air.
Gao Li knew why the two sisters-in-law were so cold. Wasn't it because Captain Gu's sudden arrival had hindered the advancement of many people? But it wasn't her husband's fault, right? It was all arranged by the leader, what could they do?
Aunt Yu obviously also noticed the awkwardness of the atmosphere at the moment, so she quickly tried her best to adjust the current situation.
She smiled broadly and said to Gao Lili, "Comrade Gao, you've only just arrived here, so you must have a lot of things to do! How come you still have some free time to come out for a stroll today?"
Aunt Yu's words undoubtedly gave Gao Lili an excellent way out, allowing her to go with the flow and resolve the current embarrassment.
Gao Lili naturally would not miss such an opportunity, and hurriedly climbed up along the pole given by Aunt Yu:
"Oh, Aunt Yu, you're absolutely right! I just finished washing clothes, and I saw this opportunity and thought I'd come out and find out about the person."
Hearing Gao Lili's words, Aunt Yu immediately became interested and couldn't wait to ask:
"Oh? Really? Then tell me quickly, who is this person you're looking for? What does he look like? Tell me, maybe I really know almost everyone in this compound!"
"I heard from my little sister that the man was very tall, at least 1.85 meters tall, with a straight figure, like a poplar. And, his face was very handsome, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips, but he looked very stylish. I heard that he was a soldier." Gao Lili carefully recalled the information provided by Gu Changrong, and described it to everyone vividly.
However, this introduction was obviously too general. Aunt Yu smiled and shook her head and said:
"Comrade Gao, let me tell you this, there are a lot of tall and handsome men like you in our yard.
Based on these characteristics alone, almost all the men in this compound meet the requirements, so it can be said that there are a lot of them.
Comrade Gao, please think carefully about it. Does he have any other more obvious characteristics?" Aunt Yu kindly reminded him.
After hearing what Aunt Yu said, Gao Lili couldn't help but frown and think seriously.
After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she clapped her hands excitedly and shouted:
"Oh, I remember now! My sister also said that the man's last name seemed to be Lu."
"What? The surname is Lu? Could it be Brigade Commander Lu (Xiao Lu)?" Aunt Yu, Sister-in-law Luo and the other three shouted almost at the same time.
