Yang Niannian looked at the woman who walked out of the main room. She was dark and thin, with rough skin and dry cheeks. Although she smiled like a flower, her face still looked very shrewd.

The woman quickly walked up to the two of them, looked Yang Niannian up and down, and said flatteringly, "Oh, you are Shi Shen's wife, right? You are so pretty."

"Young aunt." Lu Shishen introduced Yang Niannian in a calm voice.

"Aunt." Yang Niannian called politely.

"Hey." Aunt Lu smiled even more flatteringly, "She's so beautiful, she's a perfect match for our Shi Shen."

Guan Ailian came out of the main room holding the baby and called everyone into the house, "Don't stand in the yard, come in and sit down."

Lu Shishen nodded, parked his bicycle under the eaves, and carried his things into the main room.

Seeing him carrying so many things, Aunt Lu's eyes widened, "Hey, why did you buy so much cloth?"

"Make clothes for my sister-in-law, the children and Ruoling." Yang Niannian took the things from Lu Shishen and carried them directly into the west room.

Fortunately, she was smart and wrapped the food in cloth. Looking at the appearance of this Aunt Lu, it was obvious that she was a freeloader.

When Guan Ailian heard that it was bought for her, she quickly said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't even give you a gift, why are you buying fabric for us? We already have clothes to wear, you can keep it to make your own clothes."

Before Yang Niannian could say anything, Aunt Lu said, "Hey, since Shi Shen's wife bought it for you, just keep it. They must have made a lot of money outside."

As she spoke, she winked at Guan Ailian, indicating that she should accept the cloth.

Guan Ailian felt guilty, but she was not so shameless. It was not easy for anyone to make money. Her brother had helped them enough and even gave them a house.

Now that my younger brother is married, if they continue to take advantage of him, are they still human beings?

Knowing Aunt Lu's character, Guan Ailian didn't believe her and retorted, "They just got married, how much money can they have?"

Aunt Lu was used to being strong. Even if she was not at home, she would not give in to anyone and mocked Guan Ailian in a strange tone.

"You really don't know what's good for you. Shi Shen is an officer in the army and Nian Nian runs a small business. How could they be short of money? But you two are more honest than yourselves. If they are willing to give you money, just accept it. Why are you pretending to be so noble?"

She heard from Ma Xiuzhu that Lu Shishen and his wife make a lot of money every month, otherwise how could they build such a nice house?

Lu Shishen’s allowance will only get higher and higher, not less.

Yang Niannian frowned and said to Aunt Lu in a bad mood, "Sister-in-law means well and is thinking about us, why does it sound wrong to you?"

Aunt Lu was speechless. She didn't expect that Yang Niannian was so young and had such a sharp tongue. She dared to talk back to her when they met for the first time. She didn't have the courage to do so when she first arrived at her husband's family.

Seeing that Lu Shishen didn't care about his wife and was clearly on her side, Aunt Lu understood that the newlyweds were being very affectionate.

She was still thinking about asking Lu Shishen for help, so she didn't dare break up with Yang Niannian. She just laughed twice and spoke with a smile.

"Look at what you said. That's not what I meant. This is how I talk. I usually talk to Ailian like this. You may not be used to it yet."

As she spoke, she looked at Guan Ailian and said, "Ailian, quickly explain this to Nian Nian. Don't let her misunderstand your aunt."

Guan Ailian admired Yang Niannian so much. Even at her age, she was still cautious when arguing with others. She had never been as bold as Yang Niannian, who would talk back to anyone she disagreed with.

You know, the young aunt is the one who can quarrel with her mother-in-law for three days and three nights, but now she is apologizing to Yang Niannian. Isn't this the sun rising from the west?

It’s so refreshing.

Although she was happy, Guan Ailian couldn't let Yang Niannian and her aunt really quarrel. After all, Yang Niannian was standing up for her, so she tried to smooth things over.

"Sister-in-law, put the things here first, let's go sit in the main room."

Aunt Lu nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes, let's go and sit in the main hall. It's more ventilated and cooler in the main hall."

The main reason Aunt Lu came here this time was because of her son's military service. She didn't forget the main thing. Before she even opened her mouth, her face was smiling like a flower.

"Shi Shen, we are all family, so I won't beat around the bush and will just say it straight. Actually, I came here this time just to tell you about Manyuan joining the army. When you go back this time, can you bring Manyuan with you to join the army?"

Lu Shishen frowned, "If you want to join the army, you have to pass the political review."

Aunt Lu secretly curled her lips. If she could pass, why would she come here?

After all, she was asking for help, she thought so in her heart but did not dare to say it out loud.

The flattering smile on his face became more obvious. "They followed the formal procedures to join the army. Isn't that because they don't have any acquaintances in the army? All the cousins ​​in the courtyard are officers in the army, so why bother with that trouble? Don't you think so?"

Before Lu Shishen could say anything, she continued, "Bring Manyuan to the army, take care of him a little more, don't arrange so much training for him, let him be a platoon leader first, wait a year or so, and then promote him to deputy company commander. You know, he was spoiled since he was a child, and he can't stand hardship."

Look at how he said this, it sounds as casual as talking about what to eat tonight.

Is this what a person with a brain would say?

Yang Niannian couldn't bear to listen any longer, and said to her angrily and amusedly, "You were in the army when Shi Shen opened a martial arts school?"

He was directly appointed as a platoon leader. Even TV dramas don't dare to portray it this way. Even if his father is the chief, he doesn't have such right.

Aunt Lu didn't think there was anything wrong with her words, and said confidently, "Isn't Shi Shen an officer in the army?"

Yang Niannian, "According to what you said, can the village chief give all the land in the village to his family to grow crops?"

"How can that be possible?" Aunt Lu was very agitated when she heard about something that was detrimental to her own interests. "If he were to farm all the land, the others would starve to death? How can he, a village chief, have such great power?"

Guan Ailian was not happy to listen to her. "Aunt, you know the village chief doesn't have that much power, so how could Shi Shen have that?"

Aunt Lu was still confident and said, "Even if I don't have that much power to assign a small official to the whole courtyard, it would be okay to bring him into the army, right?"

"If you want to join the army, you must go through the political review process." Lu Shishen said in a deep voice.

Seeing that no matter how she explained it, Aunt Lu's face changed, "I'll tell you the truth, I got into a fight with someone and injured my hand. My little finger was broken and it wasn't reattached, so I can't pass the political review at all."

Lu Shishen directly shattered her fantasy, "You can't be a soldier if you have a physical defect."

When Aunt Lu heard him say that everyone in the hospital had physical defects, she immediately became unhappy. "He just broke a finger. Losing a little finger doesn't affect anything. You can't even use your little finger to poop or wipe your butt. How can this be called a defect? ​​Aren't your army's requirements too high?"

Yang Niannian sneered, "Why didn't you find an officer to be the father of Manyuan? You wouldn't have to worry about this now."

Guan Ailian: "..." My sister-in-law really dares to say anything.

Aunt Lu was so angry that she turned hostile and mocked the person when her request was rejected.

"I finally understood. Shi Shen is not that capable. My second sister-in-law and second brother brag about how capable he is all over the village every day. I thought the company commander was a very high-ranking official in the army, but after all his efforts, he is nothing."

After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.
