"I'm not crazy, I think you're the ones who are crazy. You came uninvited, and if anything is missing from the house, none of you will escape!" Ruan Yunxi looked like she was looking for trouble.
The sisters-in-law were furious: "We didn't take anything!"
"Who knows? Anyway, no one else comes to my house except you guys." Ruan Yunxi just wanted to stick with them.
The women's wives tried to drag her into the mess: "Doesn't she come every day?"
The innocent Mrs. Sheng, caught in the crossfire: "......"
Ruan Yunxi said, "Sister-in-law Sheng is not that kind of person."
Sister-in-law Sheng nodded in agreement.
Little Cherry chimed in, "My mom would never do that!"
Little Potato shouted, "My mom isn't a thief!"
The sisters-in-law: "......."
She's not that kind of person, are we?
If she won't do it, should we?
She's not a thief, are we?
The women's wives were furious: "Ruan Yunxi, don't try to change the subject. We're here today because of this bathroom issue. You're encroaching on the collective property of the family compound, which has a serious impact. How dare you sleep in? Have you no shame?"
"What's wrong with me sleeping in? Are you worried you won't be able to sleep?"
Ruan Yunxi scoffed, "Return it to the collective property of the family compound? It's in my yard, how is it bothering you?"
“It’s just getting in our way. Everyone’s fine using dry toilets or public toilets. Who told you to be such a capitalist’s daughter and insist on having a toilet like this? If everyone were like you, the family compound would be in chaos!” the women said righteously.
Ruan Yunxi rolled her eyes: "Do I have that much power?"
The sisters-in-law's eyes said it all; she had it.
Because they saw Ruan Yunxi's bathroom, they wanted it too.
Who doesn't want to poop cleanly?
Who wouldn't want to avoid stepping on maggots and dealing with flies in the summer?
They want it too!
They used to think that tenement buildings were nice, but now all they want is Ruan Yunxi's small bungalow.
“If you want one, just build one yourself. I didn’t spend your money.” Ruan Yunxi knew they were just jealous.
The women's wives laughed in anger: "Is this about spending money? This is about you being unconventional, you're ruining the simple and honest atmosphere of the family compound, and you're not working together!"
As one accusation after another was leveled against her, Ruan Yunxi knew they were trying to destroy her.
She nonchalantly replied, "And then?"
"You need to write a self-criticism and demolish this damn bathroom!" the women said in unison.
Ruan Yunxi said defiantly, "What if I don't want to!"
"Then we'll help you tear it down!" With that, one of the women grabbed a sledgehammer and was about to smash the newly built bathroom. Her fierce expression made it seem as if she wasn't smashing the wall, but rather Ruan Yunxi, whom they disliked.
Ruan Yunxi stopped talking and let them smash it down.
They ruined her bathroom today, and tomorrow she'll make them ruin her.
Just as the fist was about to land, Political Commissar Li roared, "Stop!"
The woman holding the hammer almost lost her balance, and the hammer fell to the ground, startling everyone who quickly stepped back, afraid of being hit on the foot.
The hammer fell to the ground and made a dent.
The women looked at Political Commissar Li with an air of righteous indignation, as if they were acting on behalf of God: "Political Commissar Li, you've come at the right time. We're demolishing this illegally constructed toilet. Comrade Ruan Yunxi is in the family compound, practicing capitalist practices. She's harming the collective interests!"
Ruan Yunxi met Political Commissar Li's angry face and said nothing.
She did nothing wrong.
Political Commissar Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ruan Yunxi was not injured and that the bathroom was still there.
When he looked at his sisters-in-law, his eyes held a hint of disdain and impatience: "Who started this?"
The sister-in-law who started the trouble naturally denied it. They exchanged glances and said in unison, "We just can't stand her causing trouble in the family compound."
Ruan Yunxi feigned rebuttal: "I didn't, I didn't, Political Commissar Li, don't listen to their nonsense."
