But Xiang Zhoushan insisted on leaving quite a lot of things behind. He said it was a gift from their training camp to thank Song Yan. They didn't have any extra funds and couldn't give Song Yan money, so they brought these things instead: ten catties each of wheat flour and rice, half a bag of sweet potatoes, three catties of oil, three catties of noodles, and two catties of fresh meat.
Is this too much? Song Yan felt burdened as she kept it. She sought Wei Aiguo's opinion.
“We’re family. I’m willing to be frank about my desire for you to treat Bai Shuang. If you were to ask someone else to treat Bai Shuang, I’d be willing to give you these things too. And these things still can’t fully express my gratitude.” Wei Aiguo held Song Yan’s hand. “It’s so good to have you!”
"Tch, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm packing my things." Song Yan left.
Wei Aiguo: "Pack your things properly. A woman came this afternoon, claiming to be Deputy Regiment Commander Xing's wife. The implication was that I could only move in with the approval of both Deputy Regiment Commander Xing and Regiment Commander He."
Upon hearing this, Song Yan asked, "Are you asking for a favor?"
"Pretty much! Commander He's wife took dumplings back with her. Didn't she have any at home? Luckily, the young soldier Xiang Zhoushan brought kept a close eye on the kitchen, otherwise she could have taken the leftovers." Wei Aiguo had never dealt with military families before, and today was quite an eye-opener for him.
"Is that how it is? Does that mean if Deputy Regiment Commander Xing doesn't agree, we can't come? If she dares to say that, we'll move out." Song Yan was particularly annoyed by Deputy Regiment Commander Xing's wife after hearing Wei Aiguo's words.
"Lending the house to us is a form of mutual assistance between military units, which can be considered official business. There are vacant houses here, and Deputy Regiment Commander Xing can't just jump out and say he disagrees."
Don't worry about that. Just put your things away safely and don't cause any trouble.
Wei Aiguo is currently trapped inside and can't see how much stuff is inside, so Song Yan has been storing the good stuff in his spatial storage...
After a while, Sister He came to call Song Yan, wanting to take her to the cafeteria to familiarize herself with it.
Wei Aiguo's meal was free, so Song Yan would definitely have to go get it back every day.
On their way, Sister He brought up Deputy Regiment Commander Xing's wife. Sister He didn't speak ill of her; instead, she told Song Yan to keep his belongings safe. She told him to give things away if he wanted, and not to be polite if he didn't.
It's best to be straightforward. If you don't want to give someone something, just say so. If you want to kick someone out, just say so. You don't need others to do your own work, but if you don't want to do someone else's work, just say so...
Sister-in-law He's words were all directed at Wang Cuixiang. Who is Wang Cuixiang anyway?
