Jiang Yue originally wanted to buy some fruit and such.
But now, there's just too much stuff to carry.
She planned to buy some fruit and candy when Lu Yu borrowed the bicycle to pick it up. She wanted to give some to Lin Ling and the other families, and apologize to them.
Jiang Yue blushed slightly as she recalled the trouble she had caused.
"Comrade Jiang, let me also give you some suggestions," Tang Zhaodi said.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Looking at Jiang Yue's sweet smile, these sisters-in-law also felt that Jiang Yue seemed to have really changed.
Zhang Yu glanced at Jiang Yue, Lin Ling, Tang Zhaodi, and the others, and snorted coldly.
Have these people forgotten how Jiang Yue treated them before?
Back in the family compound, Jiang Yue smiled and thanked her sisters-in-law.
"Thank you, sisters-in-law. I'll treat you to dinner once I've tidied up here."
Hearing Jiang Yue's words, Lin Ling waved her hand and said with a smile.
"You're welcome."
Jiang Yue remembered the candy Lu Yu had given her.
She went back to her room, opened a drawer, and saw that it was full of White Rabbit candies.
She grabbed a large handful with both hands and walked out quickly.
When the women arrived in the courtyard, Zhang Yu pouted and said, "You all say she's changed? How has she changed? We helped carry these things back from so far away, and she didn't even offer you a cup of tea..."
No sooner had Zhang Yu finished speaking than he was proven wrong when Jiang Yue came out holding a White Rabbit milk candy.
"Sisters, please have some candy. We don't have any enamel mugs at home right now, so we can't offer you tea."
Lin Ling and Tang Zhaodi quickly waved their hands in refusal.
"This is too valuable."
Jiang Yue gave each person four candies.
When Jiang Yue saw Zhang Yu, she also handed her four.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, sisters-in-law."
Unable to refuse, the military wives accepted the gifts.
Jiang Yue turned around and went into the room.
Lin Ling looked at the White Rabbit milk candy in her hand and sighed.
"I never expected Comrade Jiang to have changed so much."
"Is this the first time we've eaten something given to us by Comrade Jiang?"
"I'll take this milk candy back to my son."
Hearing their praise, Zhang Yu felt a little jealous. What's so great about it? It's just a few candies.
"Where has she changed? These things today must have cost Battalion Commander Lu several months' salary, right? Such extravagance, whose money can withstand this kind of spending? This is the behavior of a capitalist's daughter."
Hearing that money was being spent, the women felt a pang of heartache, remembering how Jiang Yue had spent money earlier.
"If I spent that much all at once, my husband would kill me." Zhang Yu was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Her husband was also a battalion commander, earning thirty yuan a month. He sent five yuan back to their hometown, and the three of them could only afford fifteen yuan a month for various expenses, saving the other ten. Every day, they were constantly thinking about how to make the most of every penny.
But Jiang Yue did something else; in less than half an hour, she spent several tens of yuan.
Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Thinking about the competition between Lu Yu and her man, Zhang Yu's eyes flashed; she had a brilliant idea. This time, she could definitely help her man.
After Jiang Yue returned to her room, she began cleaning.
Although the living room and bedroom were very clean, the kitchen had never been used and was covered in dust, with old grime on the walls.
The blankets and clothes in the bedroom closet haven't been washed for months.
She took out a large iron basin and brought out the clothes that smelled musty.
