"You, you all..."
Ge Hong's chest heaved with anger.
These women just sold her off like that?
The women didn't even look at her. Lin Xiaoxiao had already said things like "she's ruining the unity of the rear area," so who would dare to go against her?
The most important thing is to clear yourself of any wrongdoing as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it will affect her husband's work, and then it will be too late to cry.
Sister-in-law Wang spat, "They're all so materialistic."
When Lin Xiaoxiao first arrived at the family compound, she didn't intend to condemn everyone.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to let them know that I'm not someone to be trifled with, and that they shouldn't throw all sorts of dirty and stinky things at me.
"This is just a warning. If I hear anyone talking nonsense in the family compound again, I will definitely go to the political commissar's office."
Lin Xiaoxiao snorted and left the small square with Sister Wang and Sister Lü.
He didn't give Ge Hong a single glance from beginning to end.
She didn't name names, so who knows who she's talking about?
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao leave, the sisters-in-law immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“She’s no simple person to make Zhao Mei apologize. It’s all because of your nonsense that you almost ruined all of us men.”
"It's not just me saying it, everyone else has said it too."
"It's all Ge Hong's fault."
"Yes, it's all her fault."
"......"
Not to mention that Ge Hong was isolated by her sisters-in-law.
Lin Xiaoxiao invited Sister Wang and Sister Lü to her house to play, and also mentioned that she would be treating everyone to dinner the next night.
“Then we’ll come over to help first thing tomorrow morning,” Sister Wang and Sister Lü readily agreed.
There's an unwritten rule in the family compound: when you move in, you have to treat everyone to a meal so that everyone can get to know each other.
After all, we'll be living in the family compound for a long time to come.
"Did your Battalion Commander Qin tell you who you're inviting?"
Inviting them all is impossible. There are so many families in the residential compound, including not only the families of officers at the deputy battalion level or above, but also the families of company commanders and civilian cadres who have served for more than 15 years.
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, "It hasn't been decided yet, but the number of participants should be finalized by tonight."
Looking at the courtyard, Sister-in-law Lü said with some envy, "It's so much better to live in a single-story house with a courtyard. I used to think that living in an apartment building was high-class, but now I realize that there is no privacy at all."
Cooking has to be done in the stairwell. If you eat meat, a bunch of people will crowd around you. Some shameless people even send their kids to beg for meat.
Give it to them; even my own child can't eat more than a few pieces.
Not giving it to them would be detrimental to harmony among neighbors.
The building wasn't soundproof, so whatever the couple was doing could be heard clearly by the neighbors.
A single-story house is better. Although it's not very big, it's a private house with its own entrance. Once the door is closed, you can do whatever you want.
Wang's wife is now grateful, "Back then, I was disappointed that Lao Qian and I didn't get an apartment, but now it seems that we each have our own advantages."
She has three mischievous kids; if they lived in an apartment building, she'd probably get countless complaints.
Lin Xiaoxiao grabbed a large handful of melon seeds and peanuts, and the three of them sat in the courtyard chatting.
Just then, a Jeep stopped in front of the house across the street.
The driver was a bodyguard, and a woman with curly hair, who looked to be around forty years old, got out of the passenger seat.
The guard opened the back door of the car, and Commander Wu got out carrying his five-year-old son. The last person to get out was a young woman who looked somewhat like a woman but was clearly much younger.
"Someone moved in across the street?" The woman, Qu Ying, frowned.
Regiment Commander Wu nodded, "The family of Battalion Commander Qin from the Second Regiment."
Standing next to Qu Ying, Qu Yu glanced at the three people eating melon seeds in the yard and said with a smile, "Aunt, Uncle, let's go in. Xiao Bao is asleep. Don't let him catch a cold."
Commander Wu was born to a youngest son, and he doted on his youngest son immensely.
Upon hearing what Qu Yu said, he quickly pushed open the door and went inside.
Qu Ying and Qu Yu followed, ignoring the things they had brought in the car.
In the end, the guards carried them in bit by bit.
Lin Xiaoxiao turned her gaze away from Qu Yu and asked, "I heard Qin Yushen say that the Wu family lives across the street. Who is that young woman?"
Sister-in-law Wang: "She is the niece of Regiment Commander Wu's wife from her maternal family. She often comes to the army to help her aunt take care of her children."
Sister-in-law Lü: "You look like you're not young anymore, and you haven't even said anything about someone yet?"
Sister Wang spat out the sunflower seed shells and rolled her eyes. "Why didn't you say so? Did you really think she came to help Sister Qu take care of her child? She was just using this as an excuse to look at the men in the army."
"That girl has high standards; even the battalion commander wouldn't be interested in her."
Sister-in-law Lü was shocked, and her voice involuntarily rose, "My goodness, could it be that she wants to marry the regimental commander or the army commander?"
Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and joked, "Who can say for sure?"
Sister-in-law Wang glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao and carefully spoke, "A few years ago, Regiment Commander Wu wanted to matchmake Battalion Commander Qin with her, but I heard that Battalion Commander Qin did not agree."
"When Regiment Commander Wu heard that Zhao Mei was chasing after Battalion Commander Qin, there was no follow-up to the matter."
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao didn't speak, Sister Wang gritted her teeth and said with a hint of disappointment, "I'm telling you this so you can be careful. That girl is not simple."
"Okay, okay." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded casually.
Why is she being defensive? He's not a love rival.
The gossip in the family compound is getting bigger and bigger.
However, she did not intend to reveal the complicated relationship between Qu Yu, Qu Ying, and Commander Wu.
She may enjoy watching the drama unfold, but she doesn't want to be a gossip.
Why bother with other people's business unless they provoke you?
She is also a moral and principled bystander.
