"This is even bigger than the bookstores in the city!"
"It's so beautiful."
"Can we come here to read books in the future?"
“Look at those tables and chairs over there, they’re all new.”
One of the women excitedly walked over, sat down on a chair, and looked at the library that could accommodate hundreds of people. All the women were overjoyed.
"Free to borrow."
"Look, all the books here can be borrowed for free."
"My goodness, this is the first time I've ever seen so many books."
"There are also comic books here."
"I've heard about this before; it's said to sell extremely well."
As Jiang Yue listened to everyone talking, she looked around and saw that all her sisters-in-law had smiles on their faces, which made her very happy.
What could be more joyful than making money and bringing happiness to your family and friends?
"Mom, I want to borrow this comic book. My classmate bought it and said it was really good."
"Mom, I want to borrow this book to read at home."
Several children's voices could be heard in the library.
As Jiang Yue sat in her chair, listening to the children talking, she met someone's gaze.
Sister Liu was looking at her with a gloomy face.
This Mrs. Liu always sees her that way. Even the little squabble before was something Mrs. Liu herself stirred up. How could Mrs. Liu possibly think that Captain Liu could beat Lu Yu?
Jiang Yue ignored Liu's wife, and Liu's wife became even more displeased when she saw that Jiang Yue was ignoring her.
Jiang Yue now looks like a high school student, not at all like a mother of three, and she dresses up extravagantly every day. Thinking about herself, she used to be praised and admired in the compound, but now she's working so hard. She spoke with a touch of bitterness.
"Sister-in-law Lu, I heard you're a foreign language major. Could you say a few words in English for us?"
Seeing that Jiang Yue remained silent, Sister Liu spoke again.
"Are you looking down on us older women? Or do you think we're not worthy to speak to you?"
Upon hearing what Sister Liu said, her two sisters-in-law next to her immediately echoed her.
"Judging from Sister Lu's attitude, she might really look down on us."
"Sister Lu usually doesn't talk to people like us. So she looks down on us."
Jiang Yue looked up at the group of people, watching them chatter away. She smiled and didn't explain.
Seeing that Jiang Yue remained silent, Aunt Liu felt smug. She wanted to see what Jiang Yue would say.
"What a huge pot! I heard you can sing opera, Sister Liu. Why don't you sing a bit for me?"
Jiang Yue said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Sister Liu immediately became furious.
She can indeed sing opera, but in previous years, all those who could sing opera were dealt with. She can sing opera now because in recent years, many things have become more open, and some operas can now be staged.
During the Spring Festival in the military, some people performed on stage. She was unconvinced and talked about it with many of the women in the family compound, saying that she sang better than the female members of the performing arts troupe.
She was quite proud of this.
But Jiang Yue's tone of voice really annoyed her, as if she were a street performer. What was Jiang Yue's status? What right did she have to ask her to sing for Jiang Yue?
"Sister Liu, if you don't want to, do you look down on us? Or do you think we're not worthy to talk to you?"
Jiang Yue directly retorted.
"You, you, you."
