Four furniture movers worked together to move the single bed from the guest room, then moved the double bed and wooden wardrobe from Sang Feiyu's room to that room, and finally brought in the new furniture.
The sturdy pine double bed is painted in the currently trendy dark green, matching the half-white and half-green walls.
There was a dressing table under the windowsill, with an oval-shaped mirror and a small note on it that read "Handle with care".
At the foot of the bed is a three-door wardrobe, which is also a safe green color.
The only bright spot in the room was probably the large red double happiness character that Ning Zhiyuan had previously pasted on the window.
The living room contains a dark brown wooden sofa and a small table that can be used as a coffee table.
There is also a rectangular dining table with six chairs.
Furniture designs at this time were very simple, without any carvings or decorations; people placed more emphasis on sturdiness and durability.
Although the furniture was ordinary, the paint on the new furniture was so shiny that it dazzled the military families in the compound.
Most of their furniture was applied for from the military region, and they would have to return it when they left the family compound.
Someone couldn't help but say enviously, "Comrade Sang, Battalion Commander Ning is so good to you."
"They even ordered new furniture for their wedding; that must have cost a fortune!"
"That's right, when we got married, we applied for everything from the military region. Not a single piece of furniture was new. Your new furniture is so beautiful!"
Some people said sourly, "If you ask me, the amount the military region applied for is enough. Why waste so much money and coupons to buy this furniture?"
"Won't it be a hassle to move later?"
Their husbands might also be transferred to military districts in the future, so many people feel that there is no need to buy too many things if they live in the family compound, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble to move.
Sang Feiyu smiled slightly, her eyebrows curving upwards, and said, "Right? I also find it troublesome!"
"My man insisted on buying me a new one."
"Besides, these pieces of furniture were bought with money and receipts from my parents-in-law. If we don't buy them, they'll have to travel all the way from Shanghai to get them for us. Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"
"So we respectfully obeyed and followed my parents-in-law's arrangements."
Sang Feiyu's tone sounded like three parts complaining, but actually seven parts were showing off, which made those who were secretly jealous furious.
If their parents-in-law give them money and receipts to buy furniture, they will buy it no matter how much trouble it is for them!
But some people were still unwilling to give up, and said sarcastically, "How much do your parents-in-law dislike seeing you, their new daughter-in-law?"
"I've given you so much money to buy furniture, and you still won't come to see me."
Sang Feiyu was not angry at all after hearing this. In her mind, it was better to give a large sum of money than to offer words of comfort and concern.
She doesn't need those superficial gestures of concern; something more substantial would better express her feelings.
The fact that the parents-in-law didn't bother the newlyweds shows that they have strong boundaries.
So she replied quietly, "What you're saying is meaningless."
"Have you ever seen any in-laws who don't like their daughter-in-law yet still give her money to buy such new furniture and send such a big package?"
"They're not stupid or rich."
The military wife, who had been rebuffed by Sang Feiyu, secretly rolled her eyes. "If she really liked you, how could she not have thrown you a wedding banquet?"
"When any of us sisters-in-law get married, we all have to hold a few tables and go through the motions."
Sang Feiyu didn't argue with the other party. This is a typical case of sour grapes. No matter what she responded, the other party would rack their brains to refute her points.
"You don't need to keep emphasizing that my in-laws don't like me or don't like me."
The room fell silent instantly upon hearing this.
Everyone else thought Sang Feiyu was too bold and direct.
Normally, they would just tolerate any annoying behavior they encountered, since they all lived in the same compound and would see each other all the time, so they generally wouldn't directly break off relations.
