"Yes, this is for the child's good. Fortunately, it will only be half a year, so you can stay in Shanghai with peace of mind," Ruan Yunxi instructed.
Granny Hua said she understood: "Okay, Miss, take good care of yourself. Buy whatever you want to eat. I heard that officers get a lot of allowances, so don't be stingy and starve yourself."
"No way, the money's all in my hands. Don't you know how I spend money?" Ruan Yunxi smiled smugly.
The old woman was relieved; as long as she had the money, that was fine.
Besides, her young lady has other secrets!
Although she didn't say it out loud, the nanny knew that their family seemed to have some unspeakable secret. Fortunately, she had no other thoughts, so she pretended not to know, so as not to burden the young lady.
Sometimes, playing dumb has its advantages.
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Yunxi looked at the seaside scenery on her way back and felt like painting.
She took out her easel and brushes from her storage space, found a nice angle, and started painting by the sea. Someone passing by looked over and, seeing her setup, asked curiously, "What are you painting?"
"The sea!" Undisturbed, Ruan Yunxi continued painting.
They couldn't figure it out, but they felt that when Ruan Yunxi painted, they themselves were like a painting.
Another woman's sister-in-law saw her painting on the beach and immediately went to the political commissar to report her, saying that she was engaging in capitalist practices. Everyone else was busy, but she was in the mood to paint. She was ruining everyone's simple and unpretentious style and should be criticized.
The political commissar laughed in exasperation: "I see you're quite idle, having time to come to me to complain. What, does someone's painting style equate to capitalist behavior? If you were to eat a piece of meat, would you also be enjoying yourself like a capitalist?"
The complaining sister-in-law exclaimed, "...How can these be the same?"
“How is it different? What’s wrong with her drawing a picture? She didn’t draw anything bad. She just drew the sea and the blue sky and white clouds. What, you can’t draw, but you don’t allow others to draw?” Political Commissar Li said irritably, “With this time, you should go to a literacy class to study. Don’t hold your man back. Read more books if you can.”
The complaining sister-in-law: "......"
Is Political Commissar Li implying that I'm uneducated?
Political Commissar Li showed no mercy: "Comrade Ruan is not what you think. Stop targeting her. What you're doing is damaging the unity of the family compound. Don't do it again."
My sister-in-law was furious when she left.
He cursed inwardly, feeling that they had all been deceived. They only indulged Ruan Yunxi because she was pretty.
Hmph, Political Commissar Li isn't any better.
Ruan Yunxi was unaware that she had been the subject of a complaint.
When Gu Weizhou and his group returned, they saw a group of children surrounding Ruan Yunxi. Gu Weizhou recognized her as his wife and immediately strode over to her, asking, "Wife, what are you doing here?"
Ruan Yunxi pointed to the drawing board: "Take it back for me, I'll finish the rest tomorrow."
Looking at the oil painting in front of him, Gu Weizhou had to admit that his wife painted really well. It was clear that she had good painting skills. The sunset over the sea was magnificent and full of life: "My wife paints really well!"
"I'll give it to you when it's finished." Ruan Yunxi loved hearing people praise her.
Gu Weizhou was overjoyed: "Then thank you, my wife! I will definitely keep it safe!"
Gu Weizhou carefully carried the drawing board and a stool, and followed Ruan Yunxi back home.
The children who had been watching the commotion went home to find their parents.
When they encountered the women in the family compound picking vegetables together, they were all curious and wanted to admire the drawing board in Gu Weizhou's hand.
And then his sister-in-law chimed in, "Comrade Ruan, you don't know, but someone went to Political Commissar Li to complain about your painting, saying it's capitalist behavior and trying to make things difficult for you!"
Ruan Yunxi wasn't angry yet, but Gu Weizhou was furious: "Who's got nothing better to do than interfere?"
The woman who was being subtly criticized took her shopping basket home to avoid being attacked.
Gu Weizhou looked at the sister-in-law who was fleeing in panic and said by name, "Oh, it's Commander Lin's wife. It seems you have a lot of opinions about my wife's painting."
