Li Yan, who was so angry that she lost her mind, walked out of the house and angrily shook off Qiao Baozhu's hand.
"You are also a fool! You are still spending money on her. You are really bored."
Li Yan rolled her eyes at Qiao Baozhu in annoyance.
Qiao Baozhu gave her a look with an expressionless face. Li Yan finally realized what was going on and followed Qiao Baozhu into her own house.
After closing the door, Li Yan carefully asked Qiao Baozhu: "Sister-in-law, did I say something wrong just now?"
Qiao Baozhu didn't look at Li Yan, her eyes were fixed on the yard outside the glass window.
"Sister-in-law, some bad words are better kept in your stomach and try not to say them out."
Li Yan was stunned, and said in a low voice with her head down: "My husband Hao always teaches me this, sister-in-law, why do you say this?"
Without waiting for Qiao Baozhu to speak, Li Yan continued to defend herself.
"I always say what I mean and never tell lies. Even if I didn't say anything about what Bai Hongmei did, others would still talk about her behind her back. Why can others say it but I can't?"
Qiao Baozhu looked at Li Yan like a fool and sighed with sympathy.
"Sister-in-law, Chen Xiao told me that you are famous for being warm-hearted in our family compound. No matter who has problems and asks you for help, you will help them with money and effort. But your popularity is not as good as others."
Li Yan turned her head away unnaturally, mumbling unwillingly: "It's because I have a bad mouth and can't speak like others."
Qiao Baozhu nodded. Yes, Li Yan actually knew her own problem.
"Since many things are caused by the mouth, why don't you learn your lesson, sister-in-law? Fortunately, Shen Xiao and Instructor Duan are family members, and they won't take what you say to heart."
Qiao Baozhu looked at assistant manager Xiao Ding and walked out of the room where Bai Hongmei lived.
She turned around and glanced at Li Yan. "If what you just said gets out, what will people think of you two?"
Seeing assistant manager Xiao Ding walking towards the main room, Li Yan understood even though she didn't understand.
She used to be careless with her words, doing things according to her heart, and only caring about her own pleasure. But I never thought that husband and wife are one in this family compound. Her attitude is Lao Hao's attitude, and what she says is Lao Hao's words.
If anyone really wants to deal with Lao Hao, just grab her pigtails.
Li Yan got goose bumps all over her body and felt regretful and annoyed. I have lived for most of my life, but I am not as good as a young girl.
When Qiao Baozhu returned to Bai Hongmei, she was holding a bowl of brown sugar water, drinking it in small sips while listening to Instructor Duan's ideological work.
Instructor Duan has been doing ideological work for half his life, and he can change the negative thoughts of even the most rebellious soldiers. But today he hit a wall with Bai Hongmei.
"Coach Duan, I understand everything. I know you are all doing this for Wei Dong's own good. I have also heard about the shipyard in Liao Province. It is not a place that ordinary people can enter. You have secured this opportunity for my Wei Dong, and I am very grateful in my heart."
Bai Hongmei finished drinking the brown sugar water and handed the empty bowl to Zhang Cuilian. He didn't even look at Zhang Cuilian, let alone say thank you. They treated her with confidence, as if she were a nanny, not a staff member from the Women's Federation.
"But you have to understand how difficult it is for me. Yan Da is gone, and Wei Dong is the only man left in the family. With him by my side, it's like having a pillar of support in the family. If he's not at home, how are we girls going to live in the future?"
Her delicate and pretentious look made Shen Xiao, who was sitting opposite her, frown frequently.
Shen Xiao caught a glimpse of Qiao Baozhu walking in, and subconsciously raised his chin towards her.
When Qiao Baozhu got closer, she saw that Shen Xiao was holding a stack of change in his hand, which was the same stack that Bai Hongmei had taken out just now.
Qiao Baozhu didn't look up at Bai Hongmei, but she could feel her eyes on her.
"Sister-in-law, come and sit next to me."
Ever since Qiao Baozhu returned, Bai Hongmei has been keeping her eyes on her. Seeing Qiao Baozhu come into the room and not find a place to sit, but move closer to Shen Xiao, Bai Hongmei's expression was as if she had eaten sour dates.
Bai Hongmei pretended to be enthusiastic and invited Qiao Baozhu to sit next to her, not wanting her to be too close to Shen Xiao.
Qiao Baozhu glanced at the messy kang and turned away with disgust.
"No need to sit, I can just stand."
He walked to Shen Xiao who was sitting on a stool, raised his right hand and placed it on Shen Xiao's shoulder, leaning on Shen Xiao's arm as if he had no bones.
People are very conservative these days, and couples always walk one after the other when they go out. Qiao Baozhu leaned intimately on Shen Xiao in front of everyone, which was very bold.
Bai Hongmei looked at this scene and felt it was more painful than being slapped in the face.
Knowing that she is a widow, these people shamelessly show off in front of her.
Qiao Baozhu, you are so mean!
In bed, Bai Hongmei's fingers were tightly gripping the kang mat.
As a woman, Bai Hongmei knew very well that all this was done by Qiao Baozhu on purpose to make her angry.
She doesn't sit on the kang but leans on the man. How shameless.
"Qiao Baozhu, what do you look like leaning against Shen Xiao? Come and sit down quickly, we still have some important business to discuss."
Bai Hongmei bit her back teeth and urged Qiao Baozhu not to stick to Shen Xiao. It is ironic that Qiao Baozhu is an outsider who only knows how to make trouble, while she is the heroine that everyone is paying attention to.
Qiao Baozhu seemed not to hear what Bai Hongmei said and took the wad of change from Bai Hongmei from Shen Xiao.
He counted the money slowly, "One cent, two cents, seven cents, eight cents..."
These notes look thick, but in fact the denominations are very low. The sound of Qiao Baozhu counting money was not loud, but everyone present could hear it.
"Only one dollar and ninety-three cents?"
Qiao Baozhu gasped exaggeratedly, looking frightened by the stack of money.
She leaned close to Shen Xiao's ear and whispered in shock, "I've been living in someone else's house for several months for nothing, using their firewood, drinking the water they brought back, and even eating their food."
"Li Yan did so much for her, but she just threw a dollar as rent. Isn't this humiliating? Li Yan was right to say that she was an ungrateful person. It seems that we should also learn from this..."
Don’t look at Qiao Baozhu standing next to Shen Xiao, looking like a couple whispering to each other. But in fact, her voice was not low, and the people in the room could hear it clearly.
Bai Hongmei's pretty and proud face turned blue and red because of Qiao Baozhu's anger.
She knew that Qiao Baozhu had bad intentions. She spoke for Li Yan on the surface, but in fact she wanted to discredit her and make Shen Xiao stop giving her money to help her.
Humph, it turns out that there is no woman in this world who is not jealous of her.
Qiao Baozhu is so worried, isn't she afraid that she will snatch Shen Xiao away?
Bai Hongmei watched Qiao Baozhu talking to Shen Xiao while raising her eyebrows at her in a smug manner.
That expression seemed to be saying, see, I can easily disrupt your position in Shen Xiao's heart.
Bai Hongmei's blood was boiling with excitement, and she could hear no sound except the buzzing in her ears.
"It was Li Yan who took the initiative to take me from the guesthouse to the family compound. From the beginning to the end, I never asked to live in her house."
"I don't complain about the small house, the dirty environment, and the uneducated country girls in the neighborhood."
"I just did a few insignificant things, and you expect me to be grateful. You are really a narrow-minded farmer."
