As family members moved in one after another, the family compound became increasingly lively.
However, with more people, there are naturally more disputes.
These past few days, ever since her family arrived, even she has been called several times, which has been quite a torment for someone like her who hates complicated things the most.
If we're talking about the people who are most looking forward to Commander Lin's wedding right now, Jian Dan would definitely be in the top three.
Hearing another knock on the door, I instinctively covered my head.
Here we go again.
However, she still got up to open the door.
"What's wrong this time?"
Outside the door was a family member who had come a few days ago. She seemed to be someone's sister, but Jian Dan didn't pay much attention. She was young and spoke softly. Jian Dan remembered her mainly because she cried easily, and this was the fifth time she'd come looking for her, each time over trivial matters. Jian Dan's mind would go blank whenever she saw her, and her voice would become strained.
"Tell me, what happened this time? Who did it happen to? What's wrong?"
Seeing that she was about to start crying again, Jian Dan quickly reached out to stop her.
"Wait, wait, I know you want to cry, but don't cry yet, let's get down to business first."
Perhaps the voice was a bit too loud or too stern, because Xu He was startled and choked for a moment. The tears that were about to fall suddenly burst out and she began to sob uncontrollably, her eyes quickly turning red.
Speechless. Just look, just look, I knew it would turn out like this.
After several attempts, she lost her patience, and her little face fell.
"Then go ahead and cry. We'll talk after you've cried enough."
With that, he slammed the door shut, turned around and walked back without giving her any leeway.
This startled Xu He. After a couple of seconds of hesitation, she frantically began banging on the door.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't go, I'll talk, I'll talk."
I just sighed. I really didn't want to get involved.
"Are you sure you've cried enough? I don't have time to watch you cry. Get to the point."
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law."
When Jian Dan opened the door again, she saw people peering in her direction from the entrance not far away. They were all unfamiliar faces, but she didn't care. She simply stared intently at Xu He in front of her.
"Speak, what is it? Why are you coming to me crying?"
Xu He's legs went weak, and Ji was about to kneel down. Jian Dan's face immediately darkened. This was going to harm her!
He quickly moved a few steps to the side, then suddenly raised his voice.
"Xu He, if you have something to say, say it. Why are you crying and kneeling? Is it because I treated you unfairly that you resent me and are here to take revenge on me?"
You haven't been here long, but you've come to me five or six times, and I've helped you every time, haven't I? If you're not satisfied, just say so, or go and report it to your supervisor.
"I'm not your elder. You can speak freely, but kneeling down without a word, this posture—if anyone sees it, aren't you forcing me to make a mistake?"
If it were someone with a simple nature, they would have taken action long ago. The fact that they have endured until now is already an act of consideration for Political Commissar Qin Qinghuai.
"No, no, sister-in-law, I didn't."
Seeing her reaction, Xu He became anxious.
The family members who had come to watch the commotion gradually gathered around.
"What happened?"
"I don't know. Look how scared the political commissar's wife is. She jumped far away, as if she was afraid of getting involved with that person."
"That's right, that young wife's face changed color, she looked really frightened."
"Let's go take a look."
Simple didn't pay much attention, but the movement just now almost made her lose her balance. She swayed several times, and her vision went black for a moment.
Xu He, who was closest to her, didn't notice her expression and was still sobbing.
"Sister-in-law, I really have something to do. My mother just passed away, and my sister-in-law is about to stop supporting me. My brother is also easily swayed and listens to his wife. If I have no way out, sister-in-law, you have to stand up for me!"
Simply covered her head and leaned against the wall, afraid to move. She could feel a buzzing sound in her ears, and her brows furrowed more and more tightly.
The door next to them opened, and Sister Wang came out to see what was going on. She immediately saw Jian Dan trembling, as if she was about to fall. She quickly ran over and helped her up.
"Girl, what's wrong? Are you still sick?"
Sister Wang and Jian Dan were separated only by a wall, and they got along fairly well. During this time, she had handled several matters with Jian Dan and had a good impression of her. Sister Wang's rudeness towards Jian Dan immediately diminished that first impression.
"Oh, you're not a family member of the Second Battalion, are you?"
"Hey, what are you doing here again? Didn't I resolve the conflict from a few days ago?"
Northern women are mostly forthright and can't stand this kind of petty, tearful behavior. Wang's wife, a native of Northeast China, was no exception. Seeing her tearful state, she made no attempt to hide her disgust and immediately frowned at the approaching family members.
"Sisters, you're here early. Did you see what happened?"
Oh, little sister, what's wrong? Oh no, little sister, shall I take you inside?
No, no, let me help you to the clinic first.
Sisters-in-law, who's going to lend a hand?
Simple's mind was a complete mess, and her whole body felt like it didn't belong to her; it was limp and weak, and she didn't feel anything no matter how Wang's sister-in-law tried to move her.
Several of the women who were nearby crowded around, some supporting her arms, others her legs, and soon they helped Jian Dan onto Sister Wang's back.
"Can you carry him? Don't let him fall!"
Sister-in-law Wang has a large frame; she's used to farm work and is quite strong. She shook her head after just one lift.
