Su Jinyue curled her lips and smiled faintly, "Since there is no lot, then this chair is not yours."
"Sister-in-law Zhan, I really got it, everyone saw it." Huang Qiuying was anxious. She had just given her lot to Zhang Juying, who had promised to treat her to some melon seeds.
"You can't move the chair if I didn't see it," Su Jinyue said calmly. Some people are like that, thinking they can get away with it by taking shortcuts.
"But everyone can testify for me. I really caught it. I thought it was useless so I threw the lot away." Huang Qiuying regretted giving the lot to Zhang Juying.
Su Jinyue opened the lot in her hand and showed it to Huang Qiuying, "Do you see anything different?"
Huang Qiuying looked at the two lots carefully and said, "There are numbers on them." Why didn't she notice it just now?
"Do you know what these numbers represent?" Su Jinyue asked. When she was drawing the lots, she had carefully considered the number of furniture. Therefore, each lot had a number besides the furniture's name, and no numbers would be repeated. This meant that if Huang Qiuying's lot was truly thrown away by her, then the number would be missing.
"I don't know." Huang Qiuying shook her head.
"It means that either you are lying or one of them is lying." Su Jinyue looked at the two people who were still clinging to the chairs and refused to let go. "Come here."
Zhang Juying and Wu Xiangqin looked at each other and walked over with chairs.
Su Jinyue looked at the wives of the military personnel who were standing by their furniture and said, "Everyone, come here too." Aside from the chairs, all the furniture was large, so everyone had to wait for their families to help them move. So the wives who had drawn lots didn't leave.
Everyone was a little surprised why Su Jinyue called them, but they still gathered around.
The military wives who didn't draw furniture also stood aside, waiting to see how Su Jinyue would handle the matter.
"Everyone, open the lots you drew." Su Jinyue handed the lots in her hand back to Zhang Juying and Wu Xiangqin.
After everyone opened the lots, Su Jinyue said, "Did you see the numbers on the lots you drew?"
"I see." Everyone answered in unison.
Su Jinyue nodded. "There are fifteen pieces of furniture here, large and small. Excluding the furniture I gave away earlier, there are thirteen pieces of furniture in total, which means there are only thirteen numbers. Now everyone, look at the numbers on your lots and start from the first one."
"I am one." A military wife said.
"I got two." The military wife who got two spoke immediately.
"three."
"Four."
“…”
"seven."
As the numbers were announced one by one, Huang Qiuying felt more and more regretful. She already understood what Su Jinyue meant, and she had just seen the number on her own lot.
Zhang Juying glanced at Huang Qiuying and called out her own number, "Eleven." She had originally thought that since everyone had already seen Huang Qiuying's lot, it was completely proven that she had won the furniture, so she could borrow Huang Qiuying's lot and then give her some benefits. However, now that the lot was in her hands, she would not return it to Huang Qiuying. After all, she had given it to her herself, and she hadn't taken it away.
"twelve."
"Thirteen."
After the last person finished reporting, Su Jinyue looked at Huang Qiuying and said, "Sister-in-law, you see there are no missing numbers. Do you have any explanation?"
"I...I..." Huang Qiuying looked at Zhang Juying.
Zhang Juying turned her head away. After all, she had drawn the lot, so the chair was hers.
"Sister-in-law Zhan is so amazing!"
"But I just saw Huang Qiuying had a lot, how come it's gone?"
"It's possible she threw it away and someone else picked it up, or it's possible she colluded with someone else to get an extra chair."
"Sister-in-law Zhan is really smart, no wonder she was able to marry the leader."
"She's educated, after all, so she's different," the other military wives commented. They all secretly decided to never mess with Su Jinyue again. Not only was her status too high for them to handle, but her intelligence also intimidated them.
Su Jinyue glanced at Zhang Juying and said, "Now everything is clear. As for who the chair belongs to, I know it very well."
Zhang Juying couldn't help but shudder, and cold sweat broke out on her back. The look Su Jinyue had just given her was truly terrifying. Even scarier than her husband's fierceness.
After Su Jinyue finished speaking, she turned and walked towards her own courtyard. What they were going to do next was none of her business.
"Give me back the lot! It's mine," Huang Qiuying said, walking up to Zhang Juying and extending her hand. She initially wanted to let it go, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt resentful. It was clearly hers, so why should she give it to Zhang Juying? A chair would cost ten yuan.
"Didn't you tear up your lot and throw it into the trash can?" Zhang Juying snorted.
"Zhang Juying, you clearly know what's going on. Give the lot back to me." Huang Qiuying reached out to grab it.
"Huang Qiuying, do you have any shame? If you can't get the lottery, it's just bad luck. Why do you come to snatch it from me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Zhang Juying pulled up her sleeves, looking ready for a fight.
"Everyone saw whether I won or not. I gave you my lot out of kindness. You're not grateful, but you're blaming me. You're shameless." Huang Qiuying was furious. She and Zhang Juying had always had a good relationship, so she only gave her her lot after Zhang Juying asked. Who knew Zhang Juying would turn against her over a chair? She had misjudged her.
"Who are you calling shameless? Huang Qiuying, let me tell you, I, Zhang Juying, am not so easy to bully." As Zhang Juying spoke, her hand had already reached out to grab Huang Qiuying's hair.
Zhang Juying is taller and stronger than Huang Qiuying, so Huang Qiuying is naturally no match for Zhang Juying.
"Stop fighting, both of you calm down."
"It's not worth it for two chairs. We'll see each other sooner or later, so stop fighting." Seeing the two men wrestling with each other, the surrounding military wives rushed over to persuade them to stop.
"Let me go!" Huang Qiuying was grabbed by the hair by Zhang Juying and was in so much pain that she couldn't move.
"Let go first." Zhang Juying's arm was pinched tightly by Huang Qiuying, and she frowned in pain.
"I'll let you go if you give me back the chair." Huang Qiuying put a little force on her hand. Even if she took the chair back and smashed it today, she would not let Zhang Juying, who was ungrateful, do it.
"You're farting!" Zhang Juying's face turned pale with pain, and she put more strength into her hands.
The military wives around them wanted to pull them apart, but they held on to each other tightly and they did not dare to separate them forcibly for fear that they would get hurt.
"Why don't we call Sister-in-law Zhan over? She will definitely have a solution." Fang Meijing suggested.
"Okay, then I'll go call Sister-in-law Zhan." Li Xiulan hurriedly ran into the house.
