"Sir, the money is on the table!"
"Okay, good!" The old man was tidying up the table next to him. After he finished, he came over and hurriedly called out to the mother and son as they walked away.
"Young lady, you've given too much money!"
Ye Wanying stopped and turned around, saying, "Sir, there are four other ladies here too, let's settle them together!"
Although they weren't her maternal grandmother, the food they made tasted exactly the same. Because of this, Ye Wanying couldn't bear to see the two elderly women, who had worked so hard setting up their stall, lose money on four bowls of food!
What if Grandma is going through the same thing right now?
...........
It was almost evening when the mother and son returned home. In the residential compound, everyone who saw Ye Wanying riding a brand-new bicycle was so jealous that their eyes turned red. Some people couldn't help but make some sarcastic remarks!
"What are you showing off for? She's just a country woman!"
"That spendthrift woman, does she think making money off men is so easy? Just wait, when Commander Gao comes back, he'll definitely teach that woman a lesson!"
Some men who happened to be on leave and at home today got a scolding from their wives for no reason. For example, in the first house upstairs, which belonged to a certain instructor, you could hear the instructor's wife's loud voice from far away!
"Look at you! We're both soldiers, so how come other people's wives can buy cars? While I have to calculate your meager salary to see if it's enough to buy this month's groceries?"
Ye Wanying was going to pass by this house anyway, so she would naturally hear the women talking inside, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips!
A woman who can say such things is probably not a simple person.
Those words were brimming with envy, jealousy, and a desire to outdo each other...
The things I bought today weren't bought with a single penny of what my husband gave me; they were all bought with my own money!
Whatever... let these people think what they want, as long as I'm happy!
She glanced at the room where the argument was taking place, then grabbed her son's hand and hurried home, not wanting him to hear such hurtful words!
but....
Just as the women in the family compound were gossiping, they saw several soldiers carrying in new furniture, and their destination was none other than Commander Gao's home!
Ye Wanying had no idea that the furniture shop owner was so fast; she thought it would be delivered at least tomorrow.
"Knock knock knock!"
A knock came at the door. Ye Wanying was sorting out the things Bai had bought on the street and hadn't had time to put them away yet!
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you home? Your new furniture has arrived!"
A soldier called out from outside the door. Ye Wanying stood up, walked a few steps to the door, and opened it: "So fast?" she asked in surprise.
Ye Wanying recognized the soldier at the gate; wasn't he the one who had been on guard duty before?
"Hey, sister-in-law, where do you put all these? Can you point me to a spot?" The soldier easily carried a stack of stools on his shoulder.
Ye Wanying then took a few steps back: "Thank you for your help, this way!"
Thankfully, I cleaned the house when I was bored the other day, so now I can just put the furniture in!
The bed, wardrobe, table, bookcase, sofa, and coffee table quickly filled the once empty home!
Looking at everything before her, Ye Wanying felt a strong sense of belonging for the first time: this would be her home from now on!
After the soldiers finished tidying up the furniture, they also thoughtfully took away the unused trash with them: "Sister-in-law, I'll be going now!"
"Wait, wait, wait..." Ye Wanying hurriedly came out of the kitchen, holding several big red apples in her hand: "Here, thank you for your hard work. One for each of you to quench your thirst. Come over for dinner tomorrow, and your sister-in-law will cook something delicious for you!"
