The people who were saying these things were none other than Wang Tuan's wife, who lived next door, along with Zhao and Liu, who were often with her. A group of other military wives were listening nearby.
Someone must have seen Yun Duoduo and her husband arrive, because they quietly reminded everyone.
Wang's wife, whose real name is Li Cuihong, was talking animatedly. She glanced at Yun Duoduo and Yan Junting, lowered her voice, and deliberately whispered with a pout.
Aside from the two sentences she had just overheard, judging from the way those people looked at her, Yun Duoduo knew that she was probably already completely disgraced in their eyes.
Yun Duoduo knew that ever since she had said a few words to Li Cuihong, Li Cuihong had held a grudge against her and would gossip about her all day long in the courtyard.
Li Chunfang had already told her all this.
Yun Fangfang roughly knew what kind of people these were and didn't want to bother with them.
Wherever there are many women, there will always be people like this who have nothing better to do than eat and drink. There's no need to bother with them.
However, Yan Junting, who was beside Yun Duoduo, was not so easy to talk to.
Back in his hometown, he wouldn't even let his mother say a word against his wife, let alone people he had no connection with.
When he was around, these people dared to talk about his wife like that. What will they say when he's not around?
He glanced at the group and his eyes narrowed slightly. He then led Yun Duoduo away, stopping deliberately as he passed the three people.
Then, his gaze went straight to Li Cuihong, and he frowned, saying, "Speak up, why aren't you continuing?"
The group of military wives were stunned for a moment. If it were an ordinary person, they would have pretended not to hear it. After all, they were all acquaintances and there was no need to ruin their relationship.
Besides, they only talk about it for a while and then stop, so what?
More importantly, it was Yan Junting who stepped forward.
Who is Yan Junting? Before he got married, he rarely had any contact with them.
After she came to her senses, Li Cuihong smiled and pretended that she had just noticed them, and called out, "Oh, Commander Yan is back from his business trip."
Then, her gaze settled on Yun Duoduo, and she began to sow discord, "Sister-in-law Yan, Yan Tuan hasn't been home these past few days, and you haven't been in the yard either, have you? Last night I went to your house to borrow something, and I knocked on the door for ages, but no one answered. You're not even home at night?"
She assumed that Yan Junting was unaware that Yun Duoduo was not in the compound at night, and deliberately provoked Yan Junting to suspect Yun Duoduo.
Yan Junting glanced at her indifferently and snorted coldly, "Yes, my wife is not home these days. She has some things to take care of outside. What's wrong?"
"You...you know?" Li Cuihong was surprised, not expecting this.
Yan Junting chuckled and nodded, then looked at Li Cuihong and said, word by word, “Sister-in-law Wang, my wife is different from you. You all stay at home all day doing nothing, just gossiping. My wife is very busy every day. She does meaningful things and doesn’t have time to gossip.”
These words made all the military wives present blush.
That's right, they really do just eat breakfast every day and then do these meaningless things. They just didn't expect Yan Junting to say it so directly.
"This..." Everyone was embarrassed and didn't dare to openly confront Yan Junting.
Some of them had husbands who held lower positions than Yan Junting, so naturally they didn't dare to confront him directly. Even those who were at the same level didn't dare to confront him directly.
Because if the matter in this family compound were to escalate to the military, it would be the husbands who would be criticized.
But few husbands would be like Yan Junting, making a special effort to stand up for their wives; they care more about their own reputation.
Thinking this, a group of military wives looked at Yun Duoduo with envy.
Soon, a quick-witted woman named Liu Jinfeng stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Commander Yan, we were just joking, just..."
Before she could finish speaking, her gaze fell on the bicycle that Yun Duoduo was pushing.
She quickly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Yan, your bicycle is really beautiful. I saw it at the mall yesterday. It cost almost three hundred yuan. They said that their mall only had that one. Did you buy it at Friendship Mall?"
Liu Jinfeng was a smart woman. She didn't want to make a big deal out of this, so she deliberately steered the conversation away from it. And coincidentally, she had really seen that kind of bicycle yesterday, and the envy in her eyes was genuine.
But Li Cuihong was simply oblivious to the situation; she didn't understand at all why Yan Junting was standing there today.
She rolled her eyes at Liu Jinfeng and said irritably, "That salesperson is lying. There's one here, which means anyone can buy it. It's nothing special."
This means that buying a beat-up bicycle is no big deal.
However, Liu Jinfeng's actions were exactly what Yan Junting wanted. His goal was to establish his wife's authority in front of these military wives.
He glanced at the bicycle in his hand, then told Li Cuihong slowly and deliberately, "Sister-in-law Wang, they didn't lie to you. This is the only one. I bought it for my wife to ride."
this……
Everyone was stunned again. Everyone knew that this car was not cheap. Liu Jinfeng had mentioned it when she came back yesterday, and they were quite surprised at the time.
Hearing this, Li Cuihong became even more unconvinced. She said incredulously, "This car isn't cheap. Did you buy it specifically for your wife?"
Yan Junting raised an eyebrow. "Otherwise, didn't the army recently issue all the subsidies for our missions for the year? I'll use this money to buy a bicycle for my wife."
Upon hearing this, everyone was even more incredulous.
Because of what Li Cuihong said, they all thought that Yun Duoduo had no status at home, that she was about the same as them, or even worse.
Therefore, they all have a sense of superiority, feeling that there are people in this compound who are worse off than them.
Unexpectedly, the reality was completely the opposite; her husband doted on her and bought her such an expensive car without hesitation.
In an instant, everyone's mindset changed; besides envy, there was more sourness.
Of course, the one who couldn't accept it the most was Li Cuihong. She didn't argue with Yan Junting about the food at this moment, but just muttered sourly, "What kind of family does they have to dare to buy such an expensive bicycle?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Junting raised an eyebrow and smiled, "It is a bit expensive, but it's just right for my wife. My wife wants to use this level of quality."
Then, he looked directly at Li Cuihong and said bluntly, "Unlike you, you're not even worthy of riding a bicycle, so Commander Wang won't even buy you one. Your family doesn't even have a bicycle now."
