As it was getting dark, Gu Weizhou repainted the entire interior of the small house. He was skilled and quick, and didn't even need Ruan Yunxi's help. After a few quick strokes, the interior of the small house looked brand new. If you hadn't seen the old and mottled walls before, you would have almost thought it was newly built.
Gu Weizhou asked Ruan Yunxi to take a look: "How is it? Is there anything that needs improvement?"
Ruan Yunxi looked around and saw that there was a whiteboard in front of Su Bai, which was much better than before.
Ruan Yunxi didn't have high requirements; she just wanted something clean and refreshing.
She nodded and, under Gu Weizhou's expectant gaze, said, "It's fine, thank you for your hard work."
Gu Weizhou's tense brows relaxed, and a smile he couldn't hide appeared on his lips: "It's not hard work. If there's anything you don't like in the future, just tell me and I'll make some changes."
Ruan Yunxi nodded in response.
At this time, the furniture they bought arrived.
Hearing the commotion, the residents of the family compound came out to see what was happening. They saw pieces of new furniture being brought over by a truck. The wardrobes and sofas on the truck were to be placed in the yard, and the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove) had already been prepared and covered with newspapers and mats.
Soon the yard was packed full.
The other women who were watching the spectacle were incredibly envious of the brand-new pieces of furniture.
"How much will this cost?"
"Commander Gu spent everyone's money to get married."
"His wife is so lucky, everything is brand new."
"Tsk tsk tsk, capitalist's daughters are just different. All they know is how to enjoy life, they want the best of everything, and they only know how to exploit others." Jiang Mingyue also joined in the fun, deliberately stirring up hatred for Ruan Yunxi in the crowd.
Soon, some people were caught up in the rhythm and echoed, "That's right, that's right."
"As expected of someone from a capitalist background, their class background can't be changed."
"Buying so much doesn't even empty the pockets of Group Leader Gu."
"Look at her sitting there like a young lady, not even offering a helping hand. If Commander Gu marries her, he'll suffer in the future."
"I don't know what's so good about it..."
Jiang Mingyue enjoyed hearing everyone belittle Ruan Yunxi, as it made her seem outstanding and capable, saying that Ruan Yunxi wasn't even worthy of carrying her shoes.
Ruan Yunxi knew that the women would definitely gossip and say unpleasant things when they got together, but she didn't care at all. They could say whatever they wanted, but if they went too far, Ruan Yunxi wouldn't hold back.
But some people are just arrogant and think that Ruan Yunxi is easy to bully.
"Oh dear, how much money will this cost? The logistics department can get furniture with 72 legs. Although it's a bit old, it's still usable. You, my dear wife, just don't know how to manage money. How can you spend money so recklessly?" A sister-in-law lectured Ruan Yunxi with the attitude of a mother-in-law.
That face was like that of a wicked mother-in-law.
Ruan Yunxi found it amusing: "Did I spend your money?"
Sister Yang's face darkened: "What are you saying? I just couldn't stand by and watch."
Ruan Yunxi said irritably, "If you can't stand it, you don't have to watch it. It's not like it's your money. Why are you so upset? People who don't know better will think I have another mother-in-law. No wonder you live by the sea, so nosy."
This time, Yang's sister-in-law's expression was more than just unpleasant: "You little wife, you're so disrespectful! I'm your sister-in-law, after all."
Ruan Yunxi looked at him with disdain: "If I remember correctly, Gu Weizhou only has one older sister, while I am an only child. Neither of us has an older brother, so where did this cheap sister-in-law come from?"
Sister-in-law Yang: "...You...you...you..."
"Did I say something wrong? Don't you think that all the officers in the family compound who are younger than your husband are your brothers, and their wives are your brothers' wives, so you can act superior in front of them? They give you some face and call you sister-in-law, and you really think you're something special?"
