Hearing the noise outside, Tian Cuifang came out, "Xiao Su, what's going on?"
"Sister Wang, you're here too?" Li Li's eyes lit up when she saw Tian Cuifang. Everyone in the military family compound knew Tian Cuifang as a good person; she'd always help solve any problem.
Tian Cuifang nodded, and when she saw the gift in Li Li's hand, she frowned, "Are you here to give gifts?" If it was just some vegetables or something, it would be fine, but apples and malted milk are rare, so giving such gifts is a bit expensive.
"Sister Wang, please don't misunderstand. My father-in-law and Sister Zhan came here on the same train. My father-in-law fell ill on the train, and it was Sister Zhan and Captain Zhan who saved him. We are here to thank Sister Zhan and Captain Zhan. These are gifts of thanks, but Sister Zhan refused to accept our gifts. Please help her talk to them, otherwise we will feel bad." Li Li recounted what had happened.
Tian Cuifang looked at Su Jinyue, "Xiao Su, since it's a thank you gift, just accept it." If these gifts were given by the other party to flatter them, even if Su Jinyue wanted to accept them, she would stop them. It would have a bad impact on them if it got out. But if it was just a thank you gift, it would not matter.
Su Jinyue shook her head. "You should take the gift back with you. I won't accept it." She saved Zhou Jianye simply because she had the ability to do so, and never asked for anything in return. Besides, given the value of the pill, even if the Zhou family went bankrupt, they might not be able to afford it.
"Sister-in-law Zhan, are you still mad at Yufeng?" Li Li was also a little furious. Although Yufeng was naive, she hadn't done anything too extreme. Did she really need to be so petty? If she hadn't been afraid that the new leader would make things difficult for her husband, she would have already turned and left.
"Why should I be angry?" Su Jinyue asked, raising an eyebrow. She wouldn't argue with a spoiled child.
"Since you're not angry, why don't you accept our gifts?" Li Li asked. She was sure Su Jinyue was angry with Yufeng. If they turned around and left, her husband would have a hard time.
"I'll say it one last time, I won't accept any gifts. If you have nothing else, you can go back." After Su Jinyue finished speaking, she turned and walked into the yard.
"Sister Wang, please take it in to Sister Zhan for me." Li Li handed the gift in her hand to Tian Cuifang.
"That won't do. Xiao Su will blame me later." Tian Cuifang waved her hand and refused. Xiao Su had clearly said she didn't want it. If she went to help accept it, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
"Sister Wang, please do me a favor. If I take these gifts back, my father-in-law will definitely be unhappy when he sees them." Li Li looked at Tian Cuifang pleadingly.
"Auntie, please do us a favor," Zhou Yufeng also pleaded. She just wanted Su Jinyue and the others to forgive her, otherwise her parents would be angry.
Tian Cuifang looked at the apple and malted milk that Li Li stuffed in front of her with embarrassment. "I really can't help you with this, but I can go into the house and talk to Xiao Su for you. Wait a moment." After saying that, she turned and walked into the yard. She and Xiao Su had just met, and she didn't know Xiao Su's personality yet. What if Xiao Su got angry if she accepted it?
Su Jinyue was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. When she saw Tian Cuifang come in, she smiled at her and said, "Aunt Wang, haven't they left yet?" With her current level of cultivation, she already had sharp ears and eyes. Not to mention such a close distance, even if she wanted to hear something ten miles away, she could still hear it clearly.
Tian Cuifang nodded. "They refused to leave. They said they would not leave until you accepted the gift."
Su Jinyue smiled slightly, "Let them be, don't bother with them." She had already made it very clear to them, and if they insisted on doing so, she had no choice.
Seeing that Su Jinyue and Tian Cuifang were not coming out for a long time, Li Li became more and more angry, but she knew that her anger was useless. The two men inside had higher positions than her husband, and she could not afford to offend them.
"Isn't that Mrs. Zhou? What are you doing here?" A dark-skinned, overweight woman approached with a smile. She was Liu Ermei, and her husband, like Li Li's, held the same position as a battalion commander. Because of her unattractive appearance, Li Li and some other military wives often laughed at her behind her back, so she had always held a grudge against Li Li.
"Sister Liu, what are you doing here?" Li Li glanced at the basket Liu Ermei was holding. "Are you here to give me a gift? With your cooking skills, is the food you make edible?"
Liu Ermei smiled disdainfully, "Do you think everyone is like you, only knowing how to flatter others?"
"Mom, who is she? Why does she look so ugly?" Zhou Yufeng asked.
