"Sister Chen, are you telling the truth?" Tan Xiaojuan was also very excited to receive Chen Suwen's affirmation. You know, many people don't take her language talent seriously.
Back in her hometown, neither her family nor her in-laws thought it was anything special for her to learn a language from others.
Perhaps it's just because she learned the dialect but not any foreign languages that they didn't think she was impressive.
Later, when she went to the places where her husband was with his army, she learned the local languages. Everyone just praised her for learning quickly and didn't think she was a genius.
Chen Suwen's affirmation greatly excited Tan Xiaojuan.
“I have no reason to lie to you. Have you studied Russian before?” Chen Su asked her.
Previously, China had a good relationship with its neighbor, Russia, so schools taught Russian as a foreign language.
Tan Xiaojuan never went to school, but she did attend literacy classes, and the people she knew should also know some Russian.
Given her linguistic talent, she should be able to learn it by interacting with more people around her.
Tan Xiaojuan nodded, "I know a little bit."
Tan Xiaojuan even knows a little bit of English and some Japanese.
She learned English because of the US, and Japanese because she learned it from watching movies, since some war movies feature characters who speak Japanese.
In the few years since she came to Yunnan Province, Tan Xiaojuan has even learned the language of neighboring northern Myanmar.
As Chen Suwen listened to her boasting about the languages she knew, she granted her wish and gave her a thumbs up.
"You are truly a genius. Many people your age don't even speak many languages."
"hey-hey……"
Tan Xiaojuan was all smiles as she was coaxed, and she enthusiastically took Chen Suwen out for a stroll, introducing her to the situation in the family compound.
“Our family compound is relatively peaceful, but with more people, there will definitely be conflicts…” Tan Xiaojuan gossiped with Chen Suwen about the situation in the family compound.
The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a certain family is extremely bad. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law even fight. The mother-in-law often makes a scene by crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang herself, which makes the daughter-in-law cry every time.
"Really?" Chen Suwen asked at the opportune moment, making Tan Xiaojuan want to continue.
"It's true. Last time, when that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were arguing, the mother-in-law said she would take out a rope and hang herself from the roof beam. She was making a scene about hanging herself."
Chen Suwen shook her head. "It seems she doesn't want to die."
"You think so too?" Tan Xiaojuan whispered to Chen Suwen, "The argument between her and her daughter-in-law was so loud that almost everyone in the residential compound went to watch the spectacle."
"If she really wanted to die, why would she hang herself in front of so many people?"
"With so many of us watching her hang herself, aren't we becoming bystanders who murdered her?"
That mother-in-law was deliberately making a scene; after all, who would hang themselves in front of dozens of people?
If her neighbors just stood by and watched her hang herself, their future as military dependents would be ruined.
"However, that family's daughter-in-law was no pushover either; the two women fought to a standstill."
Tan Xiaojuan thought that her daughter-in-law was very capable, and she also felt that her mother-in-law was not weak either. The two were evenly matched and had a very exciting battle.
If you put yourself in the mother-in-law's shoes, of course she would think that kind of daughter-in-law is not good.
But from the daughter-in-law's perspective, the mother-in-law can also be annoying.
Tan Xiaojuan could only remain an ordinary bystander, too lazy to intervene in other people's family lawsuits.
While chatting about other people's gossip, the two of them strolled around the family quarters and got dressed up. On the way, they encountered a young woman who rolled her eyes at Chen Suwen and Tan Xiaojuan.
"Hey, who is this? Rolling their eyes at me right away?" Chen Suwen was displeased by the other person's actions. What did it mean to roll their eyes at her right away?
"Stop right there! What do you mean? We're complete strangers. What's with you rolling your eyes at me the moment you see me?"
"What kind of upbringing do you have? You look down on strangers on the street and act all high and mighty?"
Chen Suwen couldn't tolerate it, and besides, she was an extremely awful person. If she could swallow her anger, wouldn't that tarnish her reputation as an extremely awful old lady?
Chen Suwen stepped forward, grabbed the person's arm, and stared at her sternly, "Apologize to me."
"What are you doing! Why should I apologize to you?" The woman was very unhappy that Chen Suwen was grabbing her arm and struggled to let go, her tone full of malice.
"Apologize to me? Why should I apologize? Who do you think you are?" the woman belittled Chen Suwen without any politeness.
Chen Suwen grabbed her arm and pulled her hair with her other hand, saying, "Apologize."
"I was just walking along the street, and you came out and rolled your eyes at me, and even snorted at me."
"What? Do you think I'm someone you can easily bully? Why would I provoke you if you don't mess with me?"
Besides, she's the kind of person who's always making trouble for no reason. It's not like she's the one who's being picky about food. This woman should apologize to her.
"Can't I even roll my eyes because my eyes are bothering me? Who's humming at you? Can't I just hum a little because my eyes are bothering me?"
If a woman argues that she didn't do it on purpose, who can prove that she did?
Moreover, there were only the three of them on the road just now. She rolled her eyes at Chen Suwen and Tan Xiaojuan. Did anyone see that?
Will Tan Xiaojuan testify for Chen Suwen?
They're all in cahoots, so they can't help prove anything.
"Your eyes are uncomfortable? When do your eyes start to feel uncomfortable, only when you see me?"
"What? Am I an allergen for your eyes? Do you feel uncomfortable whenever you see me?"
