After Chapter 197, I plan to have eight children.
But Liu Tian felt good about herself, thinking that everyone was waiting for her to continue, so she continued on her own: "If it were me, without children, I would definitely give up the big room to those who need it first, after all, everyone has their own difficulties!"
No one could respond to that, so they could only laugh it off.
The round-faced military wife from before was also there, and finally couldn't help but persuade her, "I think your situation is pretty good. Look, it's close to the entrance of the compound, and it's on the second floor. When it gets hot, there are fewer mosquitoes. Isn't that great!"
Liu Tian was displeased upon hearing this and immediately changed the subject, "I heard that the new commander of the Third Regiment is from Jiangcheng, which is quite far away!"
She ignored the round-faced military wife's words and directly changed the subject, making the woman look embarrassed.
“They’re from a small town, so the environment is probably not as good as in Beijing. They must be overjoyed to suddenly be living in such a big house.”
"I heard she has a job. Where does she work?"
No one really knew about this, so they all shook their heads.
Although they didn't know where Zhizhi worked, they did know her get off work hours.
The short-haired military wife once said, "I don't know what her job is, but it's very comfortable. She leaves late in the morning, around nine o'clock!"
"I was back before five o'clock in the afternoon."
"They'll be back soon."
Hearing about the get off work hours, Liu Tian became jealous, "Do you usually have days off? How much is your monthly salary?"
“I don’t know,” the short-haired military wife shook her head. “She’s temporary.”
Liu Tian was happy again, "Then the salary should be high or low. Temporary workers don't last long. They are called in temporarily when they are short of people, and they are kicked out immediately when there is no work. Moreover, the salary is very low."
The short-haired military wife continued to shake her head, "I don't know, but she doesn't seem to lack money. She dresses quite well and buys a lot of groceries every day."
"And we bought quite a lot of expensive fruits."
Liu Tian unconsciously pursed her lips.
The short-haired woman was still full of envy, saying, "And didn't we just buy a refrigerator the other day? That's a very expensive thing."
The other sisters-in-law nodded in agreement, "Yes, what's the point of having a refrigerator? It uses electricity. Why not buy something else? Why waste money on something like this to sit in the house?"
"They must have money, otherwise they wouldn't be willing to buy such an expensive thing. I heard that it has to be plugged in all the time."
When it comes to Zhizhi's refrigerator, they chatter on and on, leaving Liu Tian no room to interject.
Just then, Zhizhi returned.
Zhizhi came back a little earlier today. Just after four o'clock, she covered her face with her hands and came back from outside carrying the peaches she bought and her favorite braised pig's trotters.
As Zhizhi was pondering whether to prepare an umbrella or a hat to shield herself from the sun, which would get hotter every day, someone blocked her way.
Aside from the first time Zhizhi stopped to give bananas to the children and talk to the adults as she passed by the crowd downstairs, she rarely lingered afterward, at most nodding to everyone as a greeting.
Zhizhi was a little puzzled that this had been blocked.
When they realized that the person blocking their way was Liu Tian, they were even more confused.
Before she could speak, Liu Tian said, "You're the wife of the Third Regiment Commander, right?"
Zhizhi "??"
"I am the wife of the regimental commander."
Zhizhi: "So what?"
Liu Tian frowned; she felt that this little woman seemed a bit sarcastic.
"I... I was just thinking that since you don't know me, I wanted to introduce myself to you," Liu Tian said, somewhat annoyed.
"Oh, now that we know each other, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhizhi looked at the leg blocking her way.
Liu Tian pointed to the room where Zhizhi lived upstairs and asked, "You live there with the Third Regiment Commander?"
Zhizhi "??"
"Don't you already know?"
Before Liu Tian could say anything, Zhizhi added, "Didn't you see it the first day we moved in?"
"Didn't you come up and question me?"
Zhizhi had no intention of becoming friends with her, and judging from her appearance, she didn't seem like she wanted to be friends with her either, so she simply went straight to the point and didn't give her a chance to talk nonsense.
Liu Tian was genuinely surprised by her bluntness and fell silent for a moment, unsure of what to say.
She didn't say anything, and Zhizhi was about to leave, but she reached out and stopped her.
Zhizhi "??"
“I called for help,” Zhizhi said.
"I...I need to talk to you about something!"
"Are we close?" Zhizhi asked.
Liu Tian raised her hand and pointed to the house upstairs. "You...you're occupying the house."
Zhizhi looked even more puzzled. "That house is yours?"
Liu Tian looked furious. "It should have been mine."
“Then it isn’t,” Zhizhi said.
Liu Tian "..."
She was really getting angry at this little woman. She was young, but her teeth were surprisingly sharp. She was definitely not a good person.
“No, it’s because you’ve taken it,” Liu Tian said matter-of-factly.
Zhizhi: "Huh???"
“We have a lot of children and a large family. Your house is bigger and would be just right for us to live in.”
"Why do you two, a young couple, need such a big house?"
Zhizhi: "Huh??"
She pointed to her belly and said, "Can't you see how big my belly is?"
I think you have bad eyesight!
"You... it takes time for you to be born, let alone grow up. What place do you need when you're a baby?"
"How about this, you can switch with us, and at worst... I'll just give you some extra money."
“Didn’t you just buy a refrigerator? You must be short of money. Your baby is due soon, and you’re a temporary worker, so you definitely won’t be able to work and will be short of money. Why don’t you switch with us? I’ll give you some extra money. Besides, our two houses are the same type, and the location isn’t much different. You can live here the same way,” Liu Tian said, revealing her plan.
Zhizhi was only curious about one thing: "Why do you keep going back and forth to change places that are almost the same?"
“I changed because I have many children,” Liu Tian said, her face darkening.
"Well, you said it yourself, the places are about the same size. Besides, when my child is born, you'll only have one more child than me, right?"
"How old is our child? How old is the baby in your belly?" Liu Tian asked.
"But my children will grow up too, and I'll have more children in the future."
Zhizhi touched her belly and said, "You know, I'm from the countryside. We country folk believe in having many children and many blessings. I plan to have eight children in the future."
“Eight,” Zhizhi gestured with an eight-shaped hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
The sisters-in-law, listening to the two women's verbal sparring, all gasped in surprise.
They all looked at Zhizhi's face, wanting to know whether what Zhizhi said was true or false.
Eight...
That's insane.
But Zhizhi covered her mouth, laughing so hard she was shaking, and said, "I'll treat my sisters-in-law to red eggs then!"
"Ah, okay, okay..." The sisters-in-law all responded blankly.
Then, Zhizhi walked around Liu Tian, her belly protruding, and happily went upstairs.
Liu Tian stared at her retreating figure and couldn't help but curse, "Pah, shameless."
"Disgusting and shameless!"
