Chapter 208: The Humiliation Harder to Swallow than Sweet Potatoes



Ding Lanying could hardly control her facial expression and said sarcastically.

"It seems that she made a lot of money by setting up a stall in the city."

Ding Landan looked down on self-employed individuals from the bottom of her heart. In her opinion, doing business was not decent.

Yu Hongli quickly added fuel to the fire, "Director Ding, it's not me who is causing trouble, but Yang Niannian did this, and I can't stand it. Isn't this deliberately targeting you, and deliberately doing it for you to see?"

Before Ding Lanying could say anything, she squinted her mouth and said, "Look, she didn't buy a TV earlier or later, but she bought one the day after you bought one. Not only did she buy a color TV to annoy you, but she also bought a refrigerator. Summer is almost over, why did she buy a refrigerator? She didn't earn this money in a day, but she kept the money and didn't spend it. When you bought a TV, she immediately bought a better one. Isn't this deliberately embarrassing you and trying to slap you in the face?"

Yu Hongli never mentioned that she asked An An to go back and pester Yang Niannian to buy a TV last night.

She liked to see Ding Lanying and Yang Niannian fighting with each other.

Ding Lanying's face became even uglier. Ever since Yang Niannian came to the Military Family House, she has been arrogant and against her in every way.

She thought that after marrying Lu Shishen and becoming the wife of the regiment leader, she would be able to do whatever she wanted. This is a typical idea of ​​a villain who has achieved success.

Ding Lanying tried her best to remain calm and continued to pretend that she didn't care about Yang Niannian buying a TV.

As long as she doesn't get angry and doesn't let Yang Niannian see the desired result, the purpose of Yang Niannian doing this will be in vain.

But no matter how she pretended, her face couldn't look happy, and she spoke with a stern face.

"Let her think whatever she wants. Lao Zhang and I are old enough to not compete with each other. It's her freedom to buy whatever she wants. As long as she doesn't do anything that affects the reputation of the army, I won't bother with her."

Yu Hongli quickly took the opportunity to flatter him, "Director Ding, it's a good thing that you and Political Commissar Zhang are aware of this. If it were someone else, they would probably be so angry that they would trip up Yang Niannian behind her back."

Ding Lanying raised her chin and said disdainfully.

“That’s why people need to read more. People who are uneducated and spiritually deficient value material things and like to compare themselves with others.”

After saying that, he pushed his bicycle away.

Yu Hongli stared at Ding Lanying's back and curled her lips awkwardly. Why did it seem like she was belittling her as she spoke?

She has never been to school, so she is the uneducated person.

Ding Lanying didn't care what Yu Hongli thought. When he was pushing his bicycle past Yang Niannian's house, he happened to meet a group of military wives coming out of Yang Niannian's house.

"Director Ding, are you off work?"

"Director Ding, Captain Lu bought a large color TV and a refrigerator at home. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Ding Lanying shook her head with a fake smile, "I came back to get some things. I have to go to the health center in the afternoon, so I won't go."

"Oh, my aunt bought a TV, so I don't have to go to other people's houses to watch TV."

"An An, wait for me."

An An and Zhou Haiyang ran into Yang Niannian's house one after another. Looking at the excitement of the two children, Ding Lanying felt it was extremely dazzling.

She kept a smile on her face until she got home, when her expression fell completely. Her chest was heaving with anger and the corners of her eyes were twitching uncontrollably.

That's really too much.

In all the years she has been in the military family compound, no one has ever dared to humiliate her like this.

Ding Lanying was so angry that he didn't even eat lunch. He called the health center and asked for sick leave. He stayed in bed all afternoon and didn't go out.

In the evening, Political Commissar Zhang returned home and saw the stove was cold. He walked into the inner room in confusion and saw Ding Lanying lying on the bed. He thought she was not feeling well.

He walked to the bed, touched Ding Lanying's forehead and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"My heart aches." Ding Lanying said.

Political Commissar Zhang was puzzled. "I didn't eat sweet potatoes, so why do I feel pain in my heart again?"

Ding Lanying had a minor health problem and could not eat sweet potatoes. Every time she ate sweet potatoes, her heart would ache terribly.

Ding Lanying sat up from the bed with a stern face and said sternly, "I didn't eat the sweet potatoes, but I ate the humiliating anger that was harder to swallow than the sweet potatoes."

Political Commissar Zhang was puzzled, "Who are you angry with again?"

"Who else could it be?" Ding Lanying sneered, "We just bought a black and white TV yesterday, and Yang Niannian bought a color TV today, and also a refrigerator. She didn't buy anything earlier or later, but at this time. Isn't this deliberately embarrassing us? If she wanted to buy a TV, why didn't she buy it before? Now that summer is almost over, what does she want to do by buying a refrigerator?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She couldn't help but bring up the past. "She knew you were trying to match Yu Ting with Qin Aonan, and she even asked her sister to seduce Qin Aonan. These repeated incidents, couldn't they be coincidences? I think she was deliberately going against us. She's probably holding a grudge against you for trying to match her man with Yu Ting. Now she's making a fool of herself to get into college, probably because she wants to compete with our Yu Ting."

Political Commissar Zhang had a gloomy face and said nothing. From his expression, it can be seen that he was very dissatisfied with this matter.

Putting aside the matter of taking the college entrance exam, the purchase of a color TV and a refrigerator was indeed an abnormal coincidence.

"Director Ding wouldn't go to bed so early, right?" Mrs. Xu's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Impossible, what time is it?"

Yu Hongli's voice also rang out, and then someone stood in the yard calling Ding Lanying, and there was a burst of children's laughter.

Knowing that these sisters-in-law had brought their children to watch TV, Political Commissar Zhang said with a dark face, "Everyone is here to watch TV. Hurry up and go out and take a look. Don't be so rude. Especially at this time, you should be more generous, otherwise you will really make a fool of yourself."

Ding Lanying also knew this very well. She got out of bed, put on her shoes, combed her hair twice, and walked out with a smile on her face.

Seeing so many people coming to the yard, my mood immediately improved a lot.

What’s wrong with Yang Niannian buying a color TV?

Aren’t we all here to watch black and white TV?

Political Commissar Zhang also came out of the house at this time and moved the TV to the door for everyone to watch.

Yu Hongli didn't forget to say a few sarcastic words to Yang while watching TV.

"We want to watch TV, so we have to come to your place. Captain Lu bought a color TV and put it directly in An An's room. We are too embarrassed to squeeze in to watch it."

Now, on the surface, things don’t seem to be going well between Ding Lanying and Yang Niannian, but anyone with eyes can see that they are fighting openly and secretly.

Yu Hongli used the act of stepping on Yang Niannian to show her loyalty and curry favor with Ding Lanying.

Ding Lanying scoffed, "What's the point of watching TV alone in the room? It's only meaningful when everyone watches it together."

The military wives all echoed the opinion, without mentioning the fact that their children wanted to go to the color TV and were stopped by them. They didn't care whether it was a black and white TV or a color TV, as long as they had TV to watch.

Men are tired after a day of training and don’t like to join in the fun, but they and the children like it!

The TV in Yang Niannian's home was indeed placed in An An's room. Lu Shishen didn't like to watch it, and Yang Niannian didn't watch it much either, so they just put it in the child's room for convenience.

Not to mention that she didn't put the TV in the main room. Even if she did, these military wives wouldn't come to watch it, because coming here to watch TV would bring shame to Ding Lanying.

Everyone thought that she was difficult to get along with, so they would definitely choose Ding Lanying.

She didn't buy the TV for other people's families. If anyone wants to come and see it, she welcomes them. If not, then forget it.

Those sisters-in-law didn't come, but Wang Fengjiao and Zhou Bingxing's family did.

As soon as Wang Fengjiao entered the room, she saw the award certificates on the wall. She looked at An An, then at her four sons who only knew how to eat, and she couldn't help but scold them.

"If any of you can come back with a certificate of merit, our ancestors' graves will be filled with smoke. You are all greedy when eating, but you are all stupid when taking exams. You are a bunch of idiots."

The kids were watching TV and weren't paying any attention.

Wang Fengjiao and Zhou Bingxing were adults after all, and they felt that it was not a good idea to watch TV at someone else's house so late at night. After watching for a while, they were ready to go back, but the children refused to leave no matter how they called them.

Yang Niannian smiled and said, "Let them see. An An's bed is quite big. Let the children sleep here at night. They don't have school tomorrow anyway."

Wang Fengjiao looked at the children staring at the TV and had no choice but to agree.

"Be obedient at night and don't disturb Aunt Yang, do you hear me?"

When the children heard that they didn't have to go home, they agreed more readily than the other. Yang Niannian closed the door and let them watch TV.
