Chapter 22: Hypocrisy
Mrs. Jiang's words made everyone feel awkward. Everyone already knew that the man in Captain Song's family was a fool. So, compared to this, the land would still be useful in Mrs. Jiang's hands and not be wasted.
However, some people also wanted to plant more like Jiang's wife, and couldn't help saying:
"Don't worry about whether Ye Mu can take care of this land or not. This land is not yours. You have to give it back when Ye Mu comes. Occupying someone else's land is something that only bullies do. In our village, you will be criticized for doing so."
When Mrs. Jiang heard the word "criticize and struggle", her face turned pale instantly. The others didn't dare to say anything more, they just lowered their heads and poured the water on their hands.
I was afraid of being dragged into this muddy water.
Wu Yueying had to speak up for Jiang's wife at this time, but she couldn't offend other military wives either, so she said gently:
"In fact, if we return this land, Ye Mu really can't grow crops. Captain Song said that she is autistic and usually has to lock the door to prevent Ye Mu from causing any trouble. But no matter what, Ye Mu is also a military wife. I think Captain Song's family can't always be like this. The sisters-in-law are all united and friendly people. If you have nothing to do, help Captain Song take care of the one in Captain Song's family. Captain Song will definitely thank the sisters-in-law."
"Besides, the men of the sisters-in-law are all soldiers like Captain Song, and they are all in the army. The sisters-in-law also know that it is not easy for them. If Captain Song marries Ye Mu, I am afraid it will be even more difficult."
When the military wives heard this, they immediately became interested. Song Yanzhou had a high military rank and a high position. If they helped take care of that fool Ye Mu, wouldn't Song Yanzhou be a little partial to him at work?
Even if Song Yanzhou is impartial and selfless, he should at least give them something to express his gratitude for their help in taking care of Ye Mu.
Song Yanzhou bought so many things for Ye Mu at once. If it were other soldiers, they might have to borrow some money from others to buy the cabinet fans and other things that Song Yanzhou bought for Ye Mu.
But Song Yanzhou didn't do that. He used all his savings to get it done. Many people knew that he must have a lot of cash on hand, but it was uncertain how much was left after spending so much.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Song Yanzhou has no savings, his allowance is still high.
"What Yueying said is right. That's right. We are like family. We usually help out when someone has problems. Captain Song's family is indeed in trouble. We should help him so that he doesn't have to worry about it in the army and when he returns home."
"That's right. This land should be returned to Captain Song. Captain Song probably doesn't have time to take care of it, and that idiot Ye Mu can't do anything about it either."
"It would be better if Sister Jiang continued to take care of it. It would also be considered as helping Captain Song."
At this time, everyone was thinking about getting better things from Song Yanzhou, so they didn't care at all about the land that Mrs. Jiang still needed to spend a lot of effort to get.
Wu Yueying diverted their attention with just a few words and resolved the hidden conflict. Mrs. Jiang thought to herself that Wu Yueying was really good at talking.
Wu Yueying was still talking to them with a smile, agreeing with them in every word. Mrs. Jiang was watering the plants on the side, and she didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of bringing up the issue of the land again. She didn't want to be criticized for occupying the land and being criticized again.
The soldier's wife was watering her vegetable garden here. In the staff building, Zhao Nianxi saw that it was almost time, so she took the key Song Yanzhou gave her, went downstairs, opened the door of Song Yanzhou's house and went in.
She walked all the way to the bedroom that Song Yanzhou mentioned, and when she opened the door, she saw Ye Mu still sleeping, sweating profusely.
It's really hot to take a nap on such a hot day. It's still hot even with an electric fan.
Moreover, Song Yanzhou placed the fan far away, so the wind blowing on Ye Mu was just a breeze.
However, it is not good to sleep with the fan on, so Zhao Nianxi turned off the fan and walked out quietly.
It is such a blessing to be married to Captain Song. Zhao Nianxi couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she saw the balcony full of women's clothes and skirts.
That dress looks really beautiful, like what the beautiful actresses in TV dramas wear.
Song Yanzhou is really willing to spend money on his wife. How could he spend money to buy so many clothes for his wife?
There was a box of vanishing cream on the cabinet in the living room, which made Zhao Nianxi feel even more emotional.
You spend money without thinking. You spend so much on women now. What will you do if you don’t have enough money when you have sons and daughters in the future?
It turns out that men don't know how to live. Captain Song's wife is also autistic and must be even worse at it than Captain Song.
Zhao Nianxi shook his head and put the key on the cabinet, then walked out and closed the door.
She didn't think that Song Yanzhou gave her the key to lock the door. She just thought that Song Yanzhou was out and Ye Mu was sleeping, so she locked the door because no one was awake at home.
So after opening the door and turning off the fan, she left the key at Song Yanzhou's house. However, even if Song Yanzhou told her to lock the door, Zhao Nianxi would not lock it.
How can you lock up your daughter-in-law and not let her communicate with you? When she comes, she doesn't even say hello to other sisters-in-law or visit them.
Having met Ye Mu today, Zhao Nianxi felt that this person was not a fool as soon as he saw her eyes.
She didn't know what autism was, but as long as Ye Mu was willing to talk to people, wasn't that enough?
In her opinion, she was still too introverted. She also planned to find a few military wives when she was free, talk to Ye Mu, and teach her how to be a qualified military wife.
Not long after Zhao Nianxi left, the military wife who had said she would help take care of Ye Mu arrived at Song Yanzhou's door with Wu Yueying.
Seeing that the door was not locked, Mrs. Jiang was surprised. Didn’t they say that Captain Song locked up that idiot Ye Mu?
At this time, Wang Jiangling, who lived next door, arrived at the door at some point and suddenly said, "At noon, the political commissar's wife came to Captain Song's house. Maybe she didn't lock the door after that."
With disgust in her eyes, she asked the other military wives, "Are you going to see that idiot? She and I took the same train here, and she was just dazed and didn't say a word."
Wu Yueying said, "Since the door is not locked, the sisters-in-law can go in and talk to her."
When the military wives thought about it, it made sense. Visiting each other was such a common thing.
So several people knocked on the door together. No one opened it, but the door, which was not locked tightly, was knocked open. Sister Jiang saw the clothes hanging on the balcony at a glance. She went in excitedly and pointed at the clothes and said:
"What a spendthrift! Such a spendthrift!"
She went in, and the others followed.
Wu Yueying's eyes were filled with jealousy, and she called out to someone:
"Ye Mu... the sisters-in-law are here to see you. It would be impolite for you, as the hostess of the house, not to come out."
As she spoke, she walked towards the bedroom she remembered. The bedroom door was not closed tightly, but was ajar.
The military wives looked at the clothes on the balcony with curiosity, and discovered the vanishing cream that had not been put away in the cupboard.
They are all the same as Mrs. Jiang, always complaining about Ye Mu being a spendthrift and wasting Captain Song's money.
The living room was very noisy and bustling.
The fan was turned off, and Ye Mu soon felt very hot. The noise of talking also gave him a headache, so he slowly opened his eyes.
