"Oh my god! Oh my back! I can't take it anymore! Why is this new young wife in the residential compound hitting people?"
Jiang Wenwan looked up at the sky, wondering if the sun was rising in the west today, or if she had overslept and forgotten to check the almanac.
"Who are you, auntie?"
I just arrived the day before yesterday and barely went out yesterday. I have no idea what I did to offend you, that you came to my house and started banging on the door so early in the morning.
I'm not trying to put you in a hurry, I just want to open the door quickly.
I didn't expect that driving so fast would knock you down. Don't you want to tell me what you're doing banging on the door so early in the morning?
Speaking of this, Aunt Jiang suddenly got up from the ground, pointed at Jiang Wenwan and said:
Did you give my sister-in-law candy yesterday?
Who gave you permission to give my sister-in-law candy?
Last night I forced her to eat several mouthfuls of lard to induce vomiting. My sister-in-law never eats food from outside.
Who knows if the candy you gave my sister-in-law was clean or not?
I'm telling you, my sister-in-law has a fever now, and I've taken her to see a doctor at the military hospital. You all have to pay for her medical expenses.
"And you'll have to pay compensation too!"
Jiang Wenwan looked up at the sky, then pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
What's wrong with the way this auntie on the other side thinks?
"Are you trying to extort me?"
Aunt Jiang across from them raised her chin and put her hands on her hips.
"Who's trying to extort you? It was clearly you who gave my sister-in-law some kind of candy. I think there was something wrong with that candy."
If anything happens to my sister-in-law, you'd better pay with your life!
Jiang Wenwan was delighted upon hearing this.
He turned around and closed the door.
Close it again.
Aunt Jiang was taken aback when she saw her suddenly retreat.
The aunties watching the commotion were speechless.
"Aunt Jiang, is this really necessary? Just tell me, how many times have you used this trick?"
"That's right. Last time, my family made sugar pancakes for Xiaoyingzi, and you snatched them away and ate them. Then the next day, you said that Xiaoyingzi felt unwell after eating two bites."
They swindled five yuan from me.
The aunt rolled her eyes in annoyance as she spoke.
Many other aunties also fell for Aunt Jiang's tricks.
"That's right. Last time I fried some small fish and gave one to my sister-in-law. The next day she said that my sister-in-law had an upset stomach and demanded that I pay her back."
I don't know how Battalion Commander Gan managed to marry such a troublemaker.
"It's not like they keep saying they're from the countryside. Is that what people from the countryside are like?"
I'm from the countryside too, and I'm not like her!
"If you ask me, it's a miracle that Xiao Yingzi is still alive."
Every few days, she would give me a hard time.
That Aunt Jiang was quite something; she rolled her eyes after hearing what they said.
Then he continued to keep Jiang Wenwan's door open.
"Open the door! Open the door!"
Don't think you can escape responsibility just because you're Battalion Commander Zhou's wife.
"If you don't pay up, I'll go find Commander Zhou and let him see what kind of person your daughter-in-law is!"
Jiang Wenwan considered herself to be well-traveled and knowledgeable, having seen all kinds of people, but she had never seen anyone like this before.
She went back and got her first-aid kit and a barefoot doctor's certificate.
This is her medical license.
This time, instead of kicking the door open, she opened it.
"Let's go, didn't you say your sister-in-law was sick?"
You're at the military hospital, right?
"Come on, I'll go take a look now and give her a full checkup."
He then flashed his medical license in front of her and said:
"I happen to have a medical license, let's go!"
Aunt Jiang was surprised to find that she actually had a medical license. She was stunned for a moment, then saw her lock the courtyard gate and carry her medical kit out.
Although Aunt Jiang was surprised, she still followed up with the words:
"Let's go then. Anyway, my sister-in-law has a fever right now, so it doesn't matter if we fake it or not."
When Sister Song arrived, she saw them heading to the sanitation team and quickly came over to ask what had happened.
After hearing the details, she was speechless. Even she had been extorted before, so what could she say?
However, when she saw the medical kit on Jiang Wenwan's back, her eyes lit up and she said:
"Young lady, you really know medicine!"
Jiang Wenwan smiled.
"I learned from an old doctor when I was a sent-down youth, and I also took the medical practice qualification exam in the meantime."
My teacher even asked me to stay and work at the clinic.
I didn't decline the offer to come with the army, but I didn't expect that I would come in handy so soon after I arrived.
I kindly gave someone's child two pieces of candy, and it caused a problem.
I have to go and see.
Don't let this bother Zhou Ying. It's his first day reporting for duty; he should be training with the soldiers.
I shouldn't let these things distract me; I can handle this myself.
When Sister Song heard him say that, she glared at Aunt Jiang with annoyance.
"How did we end up with such a rotten apple like you in our residential compound?"
"Song Dandan, do you even know how to speak?"
I'm the victim now. My husband's younger sister got a fever because of him. If she dies, wouldn't she have to pay with her life?
Jiang Wenwan had only ever seen such things on television before, where women in the imperial harem would use their own sons or other men's daughters to compete for the emperor's favor.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone extort money by using their sister-in-law.
"Sister Song, where are Aunt Jiang's parents-in-law?"
"It is said that their family was flooded last month, and both of their parents passed away, so they sent their younger sister-in-law here."
But after only a few days, she started using her sister-in-law to extort money.
After listening to her words, Jiang Wenwan thought for a moment, "Last month?"
That was in early August; there really was a major flood.
He was a pitiful child, it was just a pity that he met such a person here.
The group, along with the aunties who had come to watch the commotion, went to the Second Regiment's medical department.
An eight- or nine-year-old girl was lying in bed, with a military doctor taking her temperature.
I was a little surprised to see so many people come in.
What are you all doing here?
Aunt Jiang appeared extremely excited, pointing at Jiang Wenwan and saying to the male military doctor:
βHe gave my sister-in-law candy yesterday, which caused her to have a fever this morning.β
Jiang Wenwan suddenly thought of something.
"Aunt Jiang, do you have another child at home?"
Aunt Jiang was stunned for a moment.
Sister-in-law Song, who was standing to the side, said:
βI also have a son named Baogen, who is seven years old this year. When I came over, he was already playing with those other boys.β
It's not like human traffickers would dare to steal from this residential compound. What kind of guts would they have to do such a thing?
Therefore, everyone is quite at ease letting their children run around freely on their own.
As long as you don't go far, you won't encounter any wild animals.
Besides, these kids can't run very far.
When it's mealtime, just give a shout and they'll be back.
Jiang Wenwan walked to the other side of Yingzi, placed her hand on Yingzi's pulse, and said to Sister Song:
"Please trouble you, sister-in-law, to bring Baogen over. I suspect Yingzi may have an infectious disease."
"It would be better to get his son checked as well, just to be on the safe side."
