Chapter 80 I'll listen to you
"You've been staring at me the whole time, Niu Xiaofen. Is it because we don't have money to buy a mirror? Why don't you sit in front of the mirror and take a good look at yourself? Yes, I'm just a platoon leader and I can't get promoted, but look at what kind of wife Commander Qi married, and what kind of wife I married! Why don't you compare yourself to him and see what's better!"
Everyone lives in the family compound, so information is shared and can't be kept secret.
Those who visited Cen Yan and Qi Jingchuan's home that day all praised Cen Yan for being skillful, virtuous, and considerate of the men in her family.
Even the few flowers planted in the yard can be turned into fragrant rose tea, ensuring that life and style are both fulfilling.
He was even better at handling interpersonal relationships. Even though the women in the family compound refused to accept gifts, he still called on Qi Jingchuan to deliver a large pumpkin to each of them.
He said it was a variety of melon he brought from Shanghai, so that everyone in the family compound could try it out.
They talked head to head while sleeping that night, and the next day, news of Commander Qi's wife's character and conduct spread throughout the army.
No one said that it was a bad thing for Commander Qi to marry a capitalist's daughter; instead, they praised Qi Jingchuan for making a good marriage and having a virtuous wife.
What about his family? They weren't idle either. The fact that they were kicked out for being bossy was still the talk of the town.
Now, everyone in the army knows that Yu Qingguo's wife is a gossipy old woman who loves to meddle in other people's family affairs.
Yes, he hasn't even managed to become a junior officer in the army all these years, which is because of his incompetence. So he has never complained about his wife being a troublemaker, and he appreciates her hard work and dedication.
But then again, what kind of pot goes with what kind of lid!
If he had become a military officer at a young age, or even been promoted to the rank of regimental commander like Qi Jingchuan, with a promising future, would he have married a woman like this?
Now that people are comparing him to Qi Jingchuan, he doesn't mind comparing Cen Yan to Niu Xiaofen!
No sooner had Squad Leader Yu finished speaking than Sister-in-law Yu's eyes widened, and she grabbed an enamel mug from the table and smashed it over his head.
"Yu Qingguo, you have no conscience! You've finally told the truth; you've despised me all these years!"
"Cen Yan is so wonderful, then go fawn over her and marry that shameful capitalist's daughter. Don't marry me! I can't live like this anymore!"
"Divorce! I want a divorce!"
Sister Yu was shouting and yelling, and the entire residential compound was brightly lit.
Qi Jingchuan could hear Aunt Yu's screams from a distance. He frowned and stood up, but as soon as he took a step, Cen Yan grabbed his wrist.
"Where are you going?" Cen Yan blinked and looked at the man.
Qi Jingchuan said coldly, "Go and take a look."
"Are you the only one in the family compound?" Cen Yan asked him with a light laugh.
Qi Jingchuan didn't understand what she meant, so Cen Yan continued, "There are many former leaders living in the family compound. To say nothing of the distant ones, just take Political Commissar Lu, did he go?"
"Besides, even if it wasn't Political Commissar Lu, your teacher's wife seems to be a member of the Dongming Island Women's Federation, right? She didn't go, so why would you go?"
Seeing that Qi Jingchuan was speechless after her question, Cen Yan stood up, took his hand, and made him sit down.
“Sister Yu and her husband are arguing behind closed doors. If you go over there now, the angry Sergeant Yu and his wife might think you’re there to laugh at them. They’ll hate you for it. Qi Jingchuan, I don’t know as much about things in the army as you do, but you’re really not good at handling family matters.”
"Then what do you think we should do?" After thinking it over, Qi Jingchuan calmly sat down and asked Cen Yan for her opinion.
Cen Yan chuckled.
"What do you mean, 'what to do'? I only said you weren't good at handling this, not that you were. Besides, what business is it of mine to meddle in Sister Yu's family affairs? Do I look like I have that much free time?"
Cen Yan wasn't deaf, and since she had been drinking spiritual spring water from the space during this period, her physical condition seemed to have improved considerably.
Living nearby, she could vaguely hear what Aunt Yu and her husband were arguing about, something related to her and Qi Jingchuan.
Even if she were truly skilled at handling family squabbles, she wouldn't go to someone else's house and add fuel to the fire. What business is it of hers if Sister-in-law Yu and Squad Leader Yu are fighting to the death?
Those who meddle in other people's business die quickly, and she didn't want Qi Jingchuan to mediate the fight. As a couple, they were bound together by fate, and if Qi Jingchuan went, she wouldn't get any benefit.
Qi Jingchuan raised an eyebrow. "I'll listen to you. I won't meddle in other people's business."
