Why is Lin Han so annoying? She's always going against me.
If it weren't for the fact that the propaganda wall project had already been decided internally with Zhang Qiang's father's help, and she was determined to get it, she would have suspected that Lin Han had bribed these brainless, uneducated military wives to become propaganda figures for "new fashion" women.
Wang Ru glared fiercely at the group of people.
"No matter how hard you try, it's all in vain. Do you think that the organization will praise Lin Han just because you wrote a few manuscripts with your terrible handwriting?"
"That's just a pipe dream. Don't waste your time. Give up on it."
The military wives looked up, about to retort, but when they saw it was Wang Ru, they all turned their faces away and ignored her.
Liu Li and Wang Fang had specifically instructed them to speak less to the three women from Commander Zhang's family, as they were always restless and trying to extract information from people before gossiping about Lin Han.
None of these three people are good.
Liu Li specifically instructed them not to confront them directly, but to pretend they didn't see them and not to say a word to them.
Wang Ru had already thought of what to say next. She was just waiting for these people to speak so she could extract information from them and share it with Zhang Qiang's mother.
After so many days of cold war, shouldn't we use some juicy gossip to ease things up?
As a result, those people just looked up at her, said nothing, packed up the manuscripts spread on the table, and went home.
Wang Ru felt that those people were looking at her as if she were some kind of contagious plague, avoiding her at all costs.
What... what exactly happened?
She continued walking towards Zhang Qiang's house, still puzzled.
Zhang Qiang's mother was cooking on the earthen stove by the door, Li Qiao was sitting next to her helping with the laundry, and Wang Ru came over.
"Auntie, let me help you."
When Zhang Qiang's mother saw it was Wang Ru, her anger from being beaten last time flared up again.
"You dare to come here? I thought you were waiting for me to apologize to you."
Wang Ru felt guilty. That was indeed what she was thinking. She couldn't hold it in any longer, so she had no choice but to take the initiative to come to him.
At this point, she had no choice but to lower her stance.
"Auntie, what are you saying? How could I dare ask you to apologize? I should be the one apologizing. I want to apologize to you. I've been busy in the army lately and haven't had a chance to come see you and Uncle. I just happened to have some free time today, so I came right away."
Zhang Qiang's mother pursed her lips, and was just about to continue scolding her when she heard Wang Ru mention Lin Han.
"Auntie, on my way here I saw a group of people gathered together writing articles for Lin Han. What's going on?"
"How's the matter of Lin Han leading that group of women to dry vegetables going?"
This successfully diverted Zhang Qiang's mother's scolding from her, and now Zhang Qiang's mother's mind was full of gossip about Lin Han that she was eager to share.
These days have been strange. People in the courtyard don't seem to like talking to her much. When she goes over to them, they all fall silent. She says that no one pays attention to her either. The good atmosphere of spreading gossip that used to be gone has vanished, leaving her feeling stifled and miserable.
These unshared gossip tales were things she overheard while using the toilet.
Upon hearing that Wang Ru was interested, she stopped cooking and started chatting away with Wang Ru.
"Hmph, she made quite a bit of money from that lousy dried vegetable business. I heard from the mothers-in-law of those pregnant women that she probably made several tens of yuan, at least twenty or thirty yuan."
