Despite the pressure, Sister Lin complained, "We can't let her build a toilet. Who in the family compound does that? She's just acting like a capitalist's daughter. We can't indulge her."
Another sister-in-law agreed: "We can't let her corrupt the atmosphere of the family compound."
"That's right!"
"Anyway, everyone's fine. Ever since she came, the family compound has become anything but united!"
The women's wives started making trouble for Ruan Yunxi again, trying to sow discord between her and Political Commissar Li.
Political Commissar Li wasn't buying it at all: "What capitalist lady attitude? In your words, the whole nation has to use dry toilets?"
"The atmosphere in our residential compound has been corrupted by you. You have the nerve to slander others. Comrade Ruan doesn't come to me every few days to complain about so-and-so in the compound. Only you keep causing her trouble."
Political Commissar Li showed no mercy: "The disunity in the family compound is all your fault."
“If you’re not satisfied, go ahead and appeal. We have a good case regarding the preferential treatment given to Comrade Ruan. You can also earn merit. If you do, I won’t say anything even if you build a big villa, let alone a toilet.”
Political Commissar Li looked at him with disdain, as if to say, "Do you even have that ability?"
Ruan Yunxi, who always lets her actions speak for themselves, finally spoke up: "Are my sisters-in-law still going to tear down my bathroom?"
The sisters-in-law wanted to, but they dared not!
Political Commissar Li has already said that. If they still don't stop, they can expect to be scolded by their own men!
Even Sister-in-law Lin didn't dare to cause trouble.
If they don't cause trouble, then it's Ruan Yunxi's turn.
"If you ladies have nothing else to say, let's settle our accounts!" Ruan Yunxi said in a businesslike tone, "You've come uninvited, shouldn't you apologize to me?"
With a faint sense of death about them, the women spoke up under Political Commissar Li's warning gaze: "We're sorry, it was our fault!"
Ruan Yunxi continued to calculate: "Since you're going to hit and smash things, shouldn't you compensate me for my losses?"
The sisters-in-law laughed in exasperation: "We didn't destroy anything."
Ruan Yunxi pointed to the pit in the ground made by the hammer, the flower pots that her sisters-in-law had knocked over in the yard, and the vegetable seedlings planted nearby that they had trampled on: "See? You can split the cost. I've calculated it, five yuan per person should be enough."
Sister-in-law Lin got angry: "How much did you say?"
"Five yuan, no bargaining!" Ruan Yunxi said matter-of-factly.
Sister-in-law Lin protested, "Political Commissar Li, she's extorting money from me."
“If you don’t give it to me, I’ll deduct ten or eight yuan from your men’s allowances.” Political Commissar Li wasn’t going to tolerate them.
He wasn't very arrogant when he was picking a fight.
Now they know they have to pay compensation.
The sisters-in-law could only suffer in silence and each gave Ruan Yunxi five yuan as compensation.
Sister-in-law Sheng also wanted to pay, but was given a warning look by Ruan Yunxi.
Sister-in-law Sheng: "......."
Ruan Yunxi, beaming with satisfaction after receiving sixty or seventy yuan, said, "Sisters, if you ever have money to burn, remember to come to my house. You can do whatever you want in the yard, as long as you pay!"
The sisters-in-law, heartbroken, nearly vomited blood, and left with resentment in their hearts.
They suffered a huge loss today; they not only failed to cause trouble, but also had to pay out five yuan.
I slap my thigh just thinking about it!
Ruan Yunxi took the money but didn't keep it all to herself. She gave five yuan to Sister-in-law Sheng, five yuan to Little Cherry, five yuan to Little Potato, and even planned to give ten yuan to Political Commissar Li. However, Political Commissar Li glared at her and said, "Keep it for yourself. If you need anything later, come to me. They didn't mean any harm, so don't hold a grudge against them."
"Don't worry, Political Commissar, I'm not that petty!" Yeah, right!
Just wait, we'll deal with them later.
Political Commissar Li seemed a little skeptical!
