"I don't know. Didn't you say he's your relative? How could you not know if he's your relative? Besides, if it wasn't for your face, I wouldn't take in your relative!" Xu Lijie yelled.
Fortunately, the commander of the Fourth Battalion took his wife away, so that more people were not allowed to see the commotion. But no matter whether it was true or not, outsiders knew at least that Xu Lijie's commotion was exposed, and most people believed it.
Chen Dafen stood at the doorway feeling lost for a while. She was scolded and began to believe Xu Lijie's words. Maybe it was her relative who stole it, otherwise why would they leave so early in the morning? Xu Lijie would have to sell the watch for thousands of yuan. With this watch, they could find a place to do business anywhere and rent a house.
But in this case, Xu Lijie had no evidence, and she was not caught red-handed, so she made trouble with me. I didn't steal it myself, so isn't this destroying my reputation? At the beginning, she let them stay without saying a word. If she didn't let them stay, she would have let them go to the guesthouse, and there wouldn't be so much trouble, right?
Now their family's Lao Hu is also very dissatisfied, thinking that Xu Lijie has completely ruined the reputation of their family. She has only seen through Xu Lijie now. How good did she think Xu Lijie was before? In fact, she is the cruelest one.
She thought that maybe Xu Lijie's own watch had been lost a long time ago, and she pinned the blame on her relatives and framed the people from the Second Battalion. If that was the case, then wasn't she being tricked?
Chen Dafen thought about it for a long time, sighed, and finally went in.
The battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion was originally transferred here, and his foundation in the new regiment was not stable. After his wife had such a quarrel with the people from the Second Battalion, he felt it was not worth it, because the battalion commander of the Second Battalion led the elite soldiers, and it would be bad if he made things difficult for them.
Men have their own considerations, and women have their own little thoughts.
Zhu Xiaofang hasn't talked much to Chen Dafen for several days. Instead, she came to play with Chen Yun. Chen Yun has an easy workday and is even more comfortable on Saturdays and Sundays.
She got up in her cotton pajamas and sat at the table to eat breakfast. Feng Yu helped her comb her hair. Feng Yu smiled and said, "Your sister had short hair when she was a child, and she still has it now. She never listens to me. I am like a young lady who braids her hair for her."
Chen Yun laughed as she ate: "That's great, you can help me tie my hair, and I can save myself the trouble."
Feng Yu was tying her hair when she heard the door ring. She opened the door and saw Zhu Xiaofang. She came to talk to her. Feng Yu asked her to sit on the sofa. Feng Yu then helped Chen Yun comb her hair. Chen Yun saw her coming and asked with a smile, "You didn't go out today?"
Zhu Xiaofang said awkwardly, "How can I go out every day?" She was not stupid. Xu Lijie and Chen Dafen were having a quarrel, and it was not good for her to get too close to Xu Lijie, after all, their family member Gao Guobin was the deputy commander of the second battalion. If she got close to Chen Dafen, she was afraid that people would say that she had lost her bottom line in order to curry favor with her boss's wife. After thinking about it, she decided to get closer to Chen Yun.
"I don't want to go out recently. There are too many people in Longcheng." Chen Yun didn't necessarily say how good her relationship with Zhu Xiaofang was. Anyway, since she had agreed to it, she just responded perfunctorily.
In fact, the two of them have different interests and hobbies, and they also have different ways of dealing with people. Except for being military wives and working in the same unit, everything else is different. Zhu Xiaofang talked about applying for a junior college, and Chen Yun said, "It seems that I have to go to class at night, and the class will not start until next month. I am going to apply for it."
This is the teacher training college that the school helped them apply for. They have to attend classes regularly and take exams. Chen Yun wanted to apply early and get the certificate early. She would not work here in the future, and it would be good to have a diploma to find other jobs.
"Then we can go together then." Zhu Xiaofang said with a smile.
After they finished talking, Chen Yun's hair was combed. Feng Yu saw that she had finished a bowl and wanted to help her get more. Chen Yun said, "Mom, I'm full. No need to add more. Please go sit on the sofa and I'll go wash the dishes."
Feng Yu followed her lead. To be honest, Zhu Xiaofang was still very envious. She thought that even in modern times there were not many mothers-in-law like Feng Yu, who paid much attention to nutritional balance and was really nice to Chen Yun. However, she didn't know whether this was really nice or just for the sake of face.
Zhu Xiaofang also came for something else: "It's like this, my mother-in-law said that tomorrow is our Lao Gao's birthday. Lao Gao doesn't let his subordinates know, for fear that others will celebrate his birthday with him and spend money. But my mother-in-law is here, and she wants to invite everyone over for a simple meal."
"Oh, how can this be so embarrassing? Okay, I'll go there tomorrow."
Seeing that Chen Yun agreed, Zhu Xiaofang sat for a while before going over.
When she came back, she told Gao's mother, "Mom, I asked someone next door to come."
Mother Gao was sent back like that last time, and now she can't even hold her head up in front of her daughter-in-law. She will take revenge sooner or later, but now she just can't hold it back. She will first build up a good reputation for herself and discredit the other party, so that no one will believe what the other party says.
"It's good that you're all here. Xiaofang, come with me to buy some groceries." Mother Gao was determined to get money from her daughter-in-law.
Zhu Xiaofang had no choice but to go with her with a sad face.

Chen Yun crocheted small shoes at home when she had nothing to do. The light yellow wool was fluffy and cute, and she had already drawn a model on her hands in a short while. Feng Yu knew how to knit sweaters, but she didn't know how to crochet clothes yet, so when she saw Chen Yun doing this, she wanted to learn from her, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law crochet clothes together with their heads close together.
Liu Qiao was watching TV in the living room with a cup of tea in his hand. He smiled and joked with the two of them: "Have you seen this entire workshop?"
Chen Yun pouted: "Okay, you still laugh at us, don't wear the slippers I made."
Liu Qiao laughed and said, "I won't dare to do it again, is that okay?"
In fact, making slippers is very simple. You just need to buy a foam sole and sew the crocheted pattern on it. But Chen Yun thought it was too hard, so she sealed a layer of velvet under the pattern to make it extra soft when worn. She then sewed the heel on the back. Liu Qiao would change into slippers whenever he came back. Chen Yun was afraid that he would get smelly feet if he always wore the same pair of slippers, so she made three pairs in one go.
Because Feng Yu had just arrived, the slippers he wore were still Liu Qiao's. Liu Qiao privately asked Chen Yun to make another pair for him, and now he had offended Chen Yun and he would not let it go.
Chen Yun laughed and said to him, "By the way, Deputy Battalion Commander Gao next door is having a birthday, and Gao's mother wants to invite us to have dinner together. I agreed."
Liu Qiao said indifferently: "Just go." He and Gao Guobin are old comrades-in-arms, and they have worked together before. Now they live next door, so it's okay to go. Although what Gao's mother did before disgusted him, it was not what Gao Guobin wanted. This is how adults interact. If you can avoid a quarrel, don't. If there is anything, solve it privately.
