It's true. Li Cuihong's family has been wanting to buy a bicycle for a long time, but they haven't been able to yet.
The reason was that her husband said there was no need to buy it, and she could walk wherever she wanted to go, since she didn't have anything important to do at home all day anyway.
"You..." After Yan Junting said that, she lost all face. She glared angrily at Yan Junting and Yun Duoduo, wanting to get angry but not daring to, feeling very frustrated.
Yan Junting ignored her. He glanced at the military wives in the yard and said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "Sister Wang, let me tell you, in our family, my wife makes all the decisions. Even if my wife wants the moon, I will find a way to get it for her."
"From now on, if you hear any noise from our house, don't doubt it. It's definitely because I've done something wrong and my wife is teaching me a lesson. I'm humbly accepting her advice."
"This..." Yan Junting's actions once again stunned a group of military wives.
You should know that men at this age are often somewhat chauvinistic. Even if they are afraid of their wives at home, they will pretend to be the ones in charge at home when they are out in public.
But Yan Junting said in front of everyone that he was afraid of his wife.
Strangely, if other men said this, people would only think they were weak and useless, but when Yan Junting said it, everyone only saw one thing: Yan Junting really spoiled his wife to the core.
Such a good man, how come they didn't meet such a good husband?
Standing next to Yan Junting, Yun Duoduo was having the time of her life today.
How could her husband be so good at slapping people in the face? We'll see if Li Cuihong dares to speak ill of her again.
That night, I gave this man an extra chicken leg; he was behaving too well.
After that, Yan Junting saw that everyone had listened to him and figured he had established enough authority over his wife, so he put his arm around Yun Duoduo's shoulder and walked forward.
Then, remembering something, he turned to Li Cuihong and said, "By the way, don't gossip anymore. Don't say that my wife is always being beaten and scolded by me. It's no wonder that Commander Wang doesn't love you. My wife is my precious daughter. I'm afraid to even raise my voice and scare her."
After saying that, the couple pushed their bicycles toward their own yard, but on the way they ran into Wang Yongjun, the platoon leader of their regiment.
Wang Yongjun happened to be visiting Yan Junting. When he saw the two of them, he smiled and called out, "Commander Yan, sister-in-law, you're back just in time! Are you free tonight? Come to my house for dinner if you're free. My wife made steamed pork with preserved mustard greens, which is from our hometown. It tastes pretty good."
Yun Duoduo knew this Platoon Leader Wang and his wife; she had met them once before.
Wang Yongjun was a kind and honest man, and he had a good relationship with Yan Junting. Before Yun Duoduo came to the army, Yan Junting would always eat at his house on weekends.
Wang Yongjun's wife, Ye Juhong, is also an honest person who doesn't talk much.
The two came from the countryside and their families were not well-off. They had to send most of their monthly salary back home.
Normally, Ye Juhong would do some temporary work outside to earn some money to help support her family, so she wasn't very familiar with the other military wives in the compound.
Li Cuihong had also been making things difficult for the couple.
Yun Duoduo wanted to help the couple, so she said to Wang Yongjun, "Platoon Leader Wang, we won't be having dinner at your house tonight. We have to go out for a while. We'll have dried plum vegetables at your house next time."
After a pause, Yun Duoduo continued, "There's something else I want to tell you. Didn't you ask me a few days ago about finding a job for your wife? Well, your sister-in-law is short-staffed. Have your wife come to my house, and I'll find her a job."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yongjun was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, thank you, sister-in-law. I'll call my wife right away."
Wang Yongjun was so happy that he went back to call his wife.
Yun Duoduo and Wang Yongjun's words were overheard by all the military wives in the courtyard, and their eyes lit up.
In fact, most of these military wives want to find work to ease the burden on their families.
After all, most people were having a hard time at this time, but they just didn't have the opportunity. When they heard that Yun Duoduo could actually help people find work, they all hesitated whether they should try to curry favor with Yun Duoduo.
Immediately, another woman whispered, "What exactly does Yan Tuan's wife do? She can introduce jobs to other people. I heard that Li Chunfang over there works for her, is that right?"
The group of military wives immediately nodded in agreement. Everyone knew that Li Chunfang had been leaving early and returning late lately, looking busy, but it seemed she was actually making money.
Seeing that everyone was thinking of going to Yun Duoduo's side, Li Cuihong was unhappy. She snorted, "Someone like her, what good job can she do? She probably won't earn much money. She's just a country bumpkin who came from the countryside. She probably doesn't even know the way from the army base to the city. What can she do?"
After glancing at Li Cuihong, Li Jinfeng, who had just smoothed things over, whispered, "Sister-in-law Wang, you're mistaken. Yan Tuan's wife runs her own business and is a boss. I heard she owns a shop, and Chunfang works there."
Liu Jinfeng seemed to have heard Li Chunfang mention these things, but she wasn't sure.
"Nonsense, I've never heard Chunfang mention that." Regardless of whether it was true or not, Li Cuihong refused to admit Yun Duoduo's abilities and directly refuted Liu Jinfeng.
"Don't you realize that we've been in Kyoto for so many years and we've gone out to look for work before? Where can we find good jobs? Do you think we'd be worse off as a peasant?"
After hearing this, Liu Jinfeng didn't say much more. She had only heard about it and hadn't confirmed it.
The others didn't dare offend Li Cuihong, so they all echoed, "That's right, these days, it's not easy to find work outside, and even if there is work, the wages are poor."
