Liu Guiying, thick-skinned as ever, took another piece of candy from the plate and stuffed it into her mouth without any hesitation. "With all these good things, shouldn't you offer them to us? Capitalists have money, what can't they buy? What's a little candy?"
Guan Wanxin has met all sorts of people in her life, including many like Liu Guiying who are extremely jealous and suffer from severe envy.
So when she heard these words, her expression didn't change.
Guan Wenru knew Liu Guiying's character very well, and she had already guessed that today's chat would not be very pleasant.
In her past life, Liu Guiying had made things difficult for her quite a bit, especially after Han Haoxian passed away. Liu Guiying started to lead the way in scolding her, calling her a capitalist's daughter who harmed others and herself.
They say she has a hard life and brings misfortune to her husbands, not only causing the deaths of her own family members but also Han Haoxian.
At that time, Liu Guiying and Han Haoxian's mother joined forces and made things difficult for her quite a bit.
Whether in her past life or this one, she had never offended Liu Guiying, but in the eyes of someone like Liu Guiying, being rich or having been rich... was the original sin!
Li Xiuhong couldn't take it anymore. She frowned and glared at Liu Guiying. "Liu Guiying, are you here to cause trouble today? And who are you calling a capitalist? Do you know what this old gentleman sitting next to you has done for our country? Even my husband would have to treat him with utmost respect. Who do you think you are to dare cause trouble for this old gentleman?"
Although Li Xiuhong was the leader's wife, Liu Guiying was not afraid of her.
One good thing about the military is that everyone is equal, regardless of rank. As long as you don't make a mistake, no one has to be afraid of anyone.
In addition, Liu Guiying's husband was the commander of the Second Regiment. Since he had already become the commander, he didn't need to flatter anyone. Therefore, Liu Guiying had always been domineering in the compound.
Hearing Li Xiuhong scold her, she snorted and slammed her hand on the small table. "Sister-in-law Xiuhong, you turned against us after eating a piece of candy from the capitalists? Your ideological awareness is terrible! Where does the capitalists get their money? It comes from exploiting the people. Since it's money obtained from exploiting the people, shouldn't they take it out for the soldiers to spend and buy supplies for them?"
"??" Her shameless remarks left everyone present speechless.
Xiahenazi has a straightforward personality and can't stand Liu Guiying's arrogance and bullying. However, she is not good with words and doesn't know how to argue, so she wants to take action. "Sister-in-law Guiying, come out with me."
Liu Guiying hadn't had enough candy yet, so she immediately shook her head, "What are you doing? The master hasn't said anything yet, who gives you the right to kick me out?"
"You!" Xiahenazi pursed her lips, truly furious.
Sitting next to her, Guan Wenru quickly patted her leg, "Sister-in-law Nazi, have some tea."
She had just caught a glimpse of military green fabric flashing by the door, and she knew who was there.
Then, a smile appeared on her lips. "Sister-in-law Guiying is right. Sister-in-law Guiying has a very high level of awareness, which I really admire."
Liu Guiying was practically strutting around, "Look, even the Yan family thinks I'm right."
Before anyone else could say anything, Guan Wenru smiled and said leisurely, "Yes, Sister-in-law Guiying's awareness is truly remarkable. I believe she is definitely someone willing to make sacrifices. I met some people from Lanzhou on the train. Their homes were destroyed during the war, and now they're returning to Lanzhou, but they don't know where to stay. I heard that Sister-in-law Guiying's family is in Lanzhou, and that her family members have all passed away. It's such a waste to leave the house empty. Why don't we let those poor people stay there?"
Liu Guiying immediately glared at him, "What kind of horse piss did you drink to make you say such a thing? Why should my house be given to others to live in?"
Everyone else wanted to roll their eyes.
Listen to what you're saying!
What a double standard!
Others should share their money with others, but she has an empty house and can't let others live there.
Guan Wenru wasn't angry; she maintained a faint smile. "Sister-in-law, you're a military dependent, so you should have an even stronger sense of dedication. Commander Wang is a government official; he also has to think about the people."
"Alright, I'll have my son Yanzhi write an application to see if the relevant departments can approve the use of your vacant house for someone in need."
Provoked by her words, Liu Guiying became agitated and blurted out without thinking, "You dare! What right do they have to decide what to do with my house? If they dare to let others live there without my permission, isn't that like stealing?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of those present changed drastically.
Did Liu Guiying even know what she was saying?
It's important to know that after liberation, many people's assets were confiscated, and those who confiscated these assets were...
Isn't what she's saying implying... a thief?!
How dare she utter such outrageous words?!
The men standing at the door finally couldn't take it anymore. Zhang Zhongwu, the commander of the 12th Division, walked in with a dark face. "Liu Guiying, how dare you! Who are you calling a thief?"
Startled by his shout, Liu Guiying turned her head away immediately.
Upon seeing that several high-ranking leaders from the division headquarters had arrived, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly climbed off the kang (a heated brick bed), saying, "Commander... Commander."
Zhang Zhongwu snorted, "It's not a tumor on your head, why don't you know how to use it?"
After saying that, he ignored her and sincerely apologized to Guan Wanxin, "Mr. Guan, it's my fault for not disciplining him properly, please don't take it to heart."
Guan Wanxin smiled and said, "It's just casual conversation among military families. Commander Zhang, you don't need to worry about it."
Liu Guiying's husband, Wang Jianping, the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 12th Division, also quickly apologized to Guan Wanxin and Guan Wenru, "Mr. Guan, sister-in-law, please don't hold it against my wife. That's just how she is, she's not very bright."
"!" Liu Guiying was dissatisfied, but when she looked up and met her husband's sinister gaze, she was instantly afraid.
With the leader present, she didn't dare to act arrogantly.
She only acts tough in front of military families; when it comes to these men, she becomes an ostrich.
Wang Jianping apologized several more times before leading Liu Guiying away.
Before leaving, Liu Guiying took one last, reluctant look at the plates on the table.
There are still quite a few candies on the plate.
If I had known, she would have pretended earlier!
Wang Jianping had no idea what the woman was thinking. As soon as he stepped out of the gate of No. 1 Courtyard, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at Liu Guiying with a gloomy expression.
Before Liu Guiying could say anything, he slapped her across the face.
He gritted his teeth, "Idiot! You'll get me killed sooner or later. Don't you really know what to say and what not to say? Who are you calling a thief? Do you want me to take off this uniform?"
"!!" Liu Guiying covered her face with her hands, staring at him in disbelief. "You hit me?"
"I'm going to beat you up! If it weren't for the fact that I'm worried about who will take care of my two little brats at home, I would have killed you long ago."
Wang Jianping wanted to make a move, but there were people around, so he could only drag Liu Guiying home.
He knew that Liu Guiying, that fool, probably didn't realize what she had said wrong.
That bitch, she can't keep her mouth shut!
They dare to say anything!
If what she just said gets out...
That's all he'll ever amount to in his life.
