"It would be best if we could arrest her today. Look at her, she's so seductive, always walking with her back hunched over, flaunting herself in the family compound. She's ruined the atmosphere around here lately."
The two women were talking to themselves, while the other people who had come out with them looked at them with disdain.
Sister-in-law Wang was even more merciless in her accusations, saying, "I think you two are just sour grapes, aren't you? You're just envious of the things that Comrade Shu Ying and Comrade Li Qingqing have embroidered and the little clothes they made for their children, which you don't have, so you're here gossiping."
When Shu Ying first moved in, most people didn't understand her temperament. In addition, Zhao Lijuan and Li Chunyan kept talking about her capitalist background, so many people were worried that they would get into trouble and deliberately kept their distance from her.
But after spending some time together, everyone realized that Shuying wasn't like the wolves and tigers they described, and they gradually understood her true nature.
They clearly can't stand seeing others do well.
Sister Tian immediately agreed, "I think that's right. Everyone else in our compound has a child, but yours isn't. If you had built a good relationship with them beforehand and hadn't been so hostile towards them in the first place, the relationship between the two families wouldn't be so strained now. How do you know if it's good or bad that a leader has come to their house? I think some people shouldn't be so petty."
Zhao Lijuan and Li Chunyan pretended not to hear the accusations, whether overt or covert. After all, they still had to live their own lives. Besides, what was so special about those things?
It's as if no one but Li Qingqing knows how to do it.
"I think you've been sucking up to capitalists for too long, and you don't even know what it feels like to stand up straight. I told you that Shu Ying is a remnant of capitalists. Look at your faces. You haven't even known each other for very long, and you've already been bought off by her petty gains. It's obvious that our child has been targeted by her and Li Qingqing."
Li Chunyan immediately nodded, "The two of them are trying to set a bad example in the army and make the children compete with each other. Their intentions are already out in the open. Only you naive people can't see through them."
Even if you argue with them until the end, they will never admit that they are envious of those things. Other children have them, and it's not that they haven't secretly asked others to make them for them. It's just that even if they pay more, no one can make the same style. And the two of them are too proud to admit their mistakes, so they secretly slander them.
Sister-in-law Wang sneered, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them before finally uttering a sarcastic remark.
"I don't see whether Comrade Shu Ying has started a competitive mentality. On the contrary, I think there are other people who are seriously competitive."
Others found the two of them amusing and didn't want to talk to them much.
Zhao Lijuan stood at her door with one hand on her hip. "If you don't believe me, we'll see today. I'm going to open my eyes wide and see just how lucky she is to have so many leaders here, someone who can't even tell the difference between the five grains."
As evening approached, several leaders finally emerged from Xie's house, but no one knew the specifics of the situation.
When it was time for the children to get out of school, San Niu and Tu Dou were playing in the yard, while Zhao Lijuan lit a mosquito coil and used a fan to drive away the mosquitoes.
