Chapter 278: Did something happen to An An?



Hu Qiaomei's jaw dropped in shock. "Mom, what kind of family is this? Didn't you say that military housing has public facilities? And they spent money to build it themselves? Even if they have money, they can't spend it like this."

Wang Kun quickly glanced towards Yang Niannian's yard. Seeing that there was no one in the yard, he breathed a sigh of relief and then reminded her seriously.

"Be careful with your words next time. This is not our village. You can say whatever you want."

When Hu Qiaomei first arrived here, she found everything strange, especially the red brick house with a yard. This was simply her dream house. She didn't care what the man said and ran happily into the house as soon as she entered the yard.

Wang Kun put the child down and said, "I'm going to the army first. You pack your things and I'll bring you dinner."

"Just go do your thing!"

Hu Qiaomei is completely focused on the house, so she doesn't have the time to care about what her man is doing!

Life with the army is really easy, much more comfortable than farming in the countryside.

Then she can bring her sister over and let her marry a soldier. The two sisters can live here and have company.

It was not enough for her to look back and forth in the three rooms, she also walked around the kitchen. When she turned around, she almost bumped into her daughter, and she glared at her.

"What are you hanging around for?"

"Mom, I want to pee." Dani said cautiously.

"Take off your pants and pee in the yard." Hu Qiaomei said impatiently.

As soon as Yang Niannian came out of the main room, she heard the voice of Hu Qiaomei from next door and couldn't help but frowned.

That little girl looks about the same age as An An, but her mother didn’t even teach her to go to the toilet... Forget it, just respect her fate!

In the afternoon, the washing machine was delivered to the gate of the military family compound.

Everyone was used to the way Yang Niannian spent money, but no one expected that she would actually buy a washing machine.

Some military wives had never heard of a washing machine, let alone used one, so they all came to see it in person.

"Nian Nian, this washing machine is consuming too much electricity, right?"

"You have so many electrical appliances at home, how much does the electricity bill cost per month?"

"Captain Lu really loves you. He didn't even say a word when you spent so much money."

Yang Niannian looked virtuous, "I'm going to school, and it's hard for Shi Shen to take care of the child alone. Buying a washing machine can help him share some of the housework."

“…”

The military wives were speechless. Only a lazy woman would buy this thing, but after Yang Niannian said this, it seemed as if she was a virtuous person for buying a washing machine?

But they couldn't find any fault with what Yang Niannian said.

Never mind, it’s other people’s money that’s being spent, so just praise them.

"Nian Nian, you are so considerate."

"Captain Lu is lucky to marry you."

Yang Niannian, "..."

Ever since I was admitted to Kyoto University, I have been surrounded by good people.

The news of Yang Niannian buying a washing machine spread throughout the military compound within half an hour.

Yu Hongli was jealous but dared not say anything. The sisters-in-law in the military family compound were all very shrewd and praised Yang Niannian behind her back against their will. She had something to say but could not show it in front of outsiders.

When the man came back from the army at night and the couple lay in bed, Yu Hongli couldn't help muttering.

"I never realized it before, but An An is quite cunning. After knowing that her stepmother was admitted to Beijing University, she stopped calling her aunt and started calling her mom instead. She calls her mom more affectionately than her biological mom."

"Captain Lu's wife is good to An An, it's only a matter of time before the child changes his mind," said Sun Dashan.

Yu Hongli was not happy when she heard her husband praising Yang Niannian, and said in a sarcastic tone.

"If you can be as capable as Captain Lu, I can spend your allowance as I please. Not to mention being the stepmother of one child, even if I am the stepmother of four children for you, I can do better than her."

"Who can't spend money to treat the children well without doing practical work? She bought a washing machine today. It's obvious that she was lazy, but she said it was to help Captain Lu share the housework... I just don't have such a mouth. Even if I work hard to give you a bunch of children, I won't live a good life."

Sun Dashan was tired after a day's work and when he came home he heard his wife complaining in his ear, which made him feel very annoyed.

"Why do you care about other people's business? Stay out of things that have nothing to do with our family."

"What can I get involved in?"

After Yu Hongli finished talking about Yang Niannian's family affairs, she couldn't help but talk about Wang Kun's family affairs.

"Captain Wang's wife and children came to join the army. As soon as she moved into the yard, she set her eyes on the vegetable garden. I was thinking of turning over Meijing's vegetable garden to plant carrots. Fortunately, I didn't turn it over, otherwise she would have gotten a good deal."

"I don't know why Captain Wang fell in love with his wife. She is as thin as a monkey and has a hunchback. If you don't know her, you would think she is his mother."

Sun Dashan didn't feel like chatting, so he closed his eyes and said, "Go to bed early!"

Yu Hongli glared at him, and when she saw that he was really asleep, she reluctantly turned around and slept with her back to him.

In the next two days, Yang Niannian did as she said and did not go anywhere in the military family compound. She stayed with Lu Shishen and An An steadily. It was a pity that Lu Shishen was very busy during these days and did not come back until midnight every day.

Thinking that she would be going to Beijing in two days, and taking advantage of the good weather before leaving, she took down all the quilt covers at home, washed them, and hung them out to dry. She also asked Wang Fengjiao to help her sew the quilt covers in the afternoon.

After a busy morning, she had nothing to do after lunch and felt a little sleepy. After telling An An not to go to the river, she went back to the house to take a nap.

In a daze, she heard Wang Fengjiao calling her anxiously, "Niannian, Niannian, come out quickly..."

Yang Niannian was dozing off for most of the time. She suddenly turned over and sat up from the bed. Without even bothering to comb her hair, she put on her slippers and ran out.

When she passed by the main room, she looked into An An's room and saw that the door was open and the TV was turned off. Her heart sank immediately.

Could something have happened to An An?

"Sister Wang, what's wrong?"

"Come with me now."

Wang Fengjiao didn't have time to explain in detail. She pulled Yang Niannian and ran towards the gate of the military family compound. Seeing her so anxious, Yang Niannian's heart sank to the bottom. She didn't even bother to turn back to pick up her shoes when they fell off.

My mind was blank and my heart was pounding as if it wanted to run away from home.

If something happened to An An, how would she explain to Lu Shishen and the martyrs who died?

An An is such a sensible child. He just started calling me mom today.

Woohoo…

Before the two of them ran to the gate of the courtyard, they saw a group of people gathered there, which made Yang Niannian's heart almost stop.

She was so frightened that her sleepiness disappeared, her eyes turned red, and tears were swirling in her sockets, ready to fall.

My legs suddenly felt weak and I couldn't run anymore.

Wang Fengjiao was a little confused when she saw Yang Niannian suddenly stop, "Niannian, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Niannian wiped away her tears and said, "Sister Wang, tell me, is there something wrong with An An?"
