At the same time, Zhang Yumei naturally also knew about Xu Zhiyi's affairs, and her heart was filled with resentment.
Xu Zhiyi was once again envied by the people in the family compound, but she was also once again laughed at by those people in the family compound.
Make fun of her for losing her job for a man, make fun of her for being like a country girl now.
Although people outside laughed at him, they only laughed at him behind his back. They never said anything in front of Zhang Yumei. It was precisely because of this incident that Xie Heng and Zhang Yumei were somewhat distracted.
Not far from Zhang Yumei and Xie Heng's homes, in a military unit's family compound, there was a woman who never went out of the house, but she still heard the rumors outside.
In the yard, the girl held the child in her arms, unable to suppress the smile on her face.
The child in her arms sensed something was wrong with the girl and asked in confusion, "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Auntie, why are you so happy?"
The young girl coaxed the child in her arms and said slowly, "This has nothing to do with you. Children should keep quiet about adult matters. Besides, even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. You'd better hurry up and grow up."
The child in the girl's arms nodded and agreed: "Okay, auntie. By the way, auntie, am I going to have an uncle-in-law soon?"
As soon as the words fell, the girl's face darkened. She squeezed the girl's arm with both hands and said, "Who told you that? Who told you that?"
The girl was about to cry, saying, "Auntie, it hurts. It hurts, Auntie."
The girl recovered and quickly released her grip on the child's arm, saying, "Are you okay? I just used a little too much force. Why are you crying? I didn't hit you. If anyone heard this, they'd think I hit you, that I was abusing you."
The girl quickly stopped crying and said, "Auntie, I just said that casually. Why are you so harsh? Besides, I didn't cry. You didn't abuse me, but you pinched me and it hurt. What's wrong with me crying?"
The girl said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, you didn't cry, you didn't cry. I used too much force, I'm sorry. Now you can tell me, who told you that? Where did this uncle-in-law come from? Or is your mother trying to introduce me to someone?"
The girl slowly spoke, "My dad asked my mom to introduce you to someone. He said you've been living with us for almost a month now, and staying at home all day isn't a good idea. So he asked my mom to introduce you to someone and marry you off as soon as possible."
The girl quickly asked, "Did your dad say he wanted to introduce me to someone? Who did your mom like?"
"I don't know about that, but my mom has been going to the family next door these days. As far as I know, there's a battalion commander in that family who was in the same regiment as my dad. But that guy is younger than my dad, and he only has a grandmother in his family."
The girl looked up at the next door. Of course she knew the family next door, and she also knew who the battalion commander her niece was talking about was and what kind of person he was.
The girl in the family compound was Jiang Xiufen, who had returned at the same time as Xu Zhiyi, Qin Zheng, Xie Heng, and Zhang Yumei. Her niece was the daughter of Battalion Commander Wang Jianhua.
In fact, Wang Jianhua was reluctant to have his sister-in-law come this time, but he couldn't stand his wife's constant nagging in his ear. It was also because of Jiang Xiufen's sister's repeated assurances that Wang Jianhua softened his heart and agreed to his wife's request, and once again let his sister-in-law who had caused trouble come to the army to take care of the children.
Since Jiang Xiufen came to her sister and brother-in-law's house, she stayed at home all day and all night to look after their children. Except for going to the toilet and sometimes going to the supply and marketing cooperative, she never went out every day.
Of course, sometimes Jiang Xiufen and her sister would go out to see if there were any good young men in the army to find a marriage partner for Jiang Xiufen, but every time Jiang Xiufen failed. In Jiang Xiufen's heart, no one in the army could compare to Xie Heng in her heart.
Jiang Xiufen had met Xie Heng several times since she arrived at the army nearly a month ago, but every time she saw that Xie Heng's face was not very good, and she was not in a position to show concern or take the initiative to talk to him. She could only watch Xie Heng leave from afar.
In addition, Jiang Xiufen would dream every night. In her dreams, there was Xie Heng and herself. She married Xie Heng and started a family with him, but every time it was just a pipe dream.
The yard of Jiang Xiufen's brother-in-law's house is not far from Xie Heng's house. This is why Jiang Xiufen once saw Zhang Yumei chatting with people in the family compound when she went out. Sometimes Jiang Xiufen would even be called over to sit and chat.
But every time, Jiang Xiufen just gave a simple answer, without saying a word, nor did she say a word to Zhang Yumei. But every time Jiang Xiufen heard Zhang Yumei's conversation, she could learn from her how Xie Heng was doing. She missed him, and she wanted to tell him that she was jealous of him.
Although Zhang Yumei was talking to them in the family compound, she was already cursing Jiang Xiufen to death in her heart. The two people she hated the most were Xu Zhiyi and Jiang Xiufen. One had taken away her glory, and the other had taken away the honor of her previous life. No matter which one of them, Zhang Yumei wished that their reputation would be ruined.
As for why the people in the family compound kept calling Jiang Xiufen over, it was because they knew how Jiang Xiufen had followed Xie Heng four years ago, and they also knew that Jiang Xiufen liked Xie Heng. One was Jiang Xiufen, who had pursued Xie Heng before, and the other was Xie Heng's current wife. They wished these two could fight, so that they could have some fun in these boring days.
But every time those onlookers returned disappointed, Zhang Yumei seemed to not care about Jiang Xiufen and kept calling her "Sister Xiufen", which made Jiang Xiufen very disgusted.
Jiang Xiufen was no fool. From the first moment she saw Zhang Yumei, she saw the hatred she felt for her in her eyes. And now Zhang Yumei was treating her like this in front of outsiders. It was really hypocritical and disgusting.
Some people who wanted to watch the fun, thinking Zhang Yumei didn't know how Jiang Xiufen pursued their Xie Heng four years ago, told her about it in her ear. But Zhang Yumei simply said, "That's because their Xie Heng is outstanding. Not only is he more handsome than you, but he's also very capable. That's why so many people are chasing him. If Xie Heng wasn't outstanding, why would anyone chase him?"
Besides, we were all young once. Didn't you chase after good guys when you were young? Now it's a new society, love is free, marriage is independent. "
After Zhang Yumei said this, she slapped everyone who wanted to watch the fun.
But Jiang Xiufen looked at Zhang Yumei with an even more disgusted look, and even a chill. She thought to herself: This person is really good at pretending.
