Seeing that Li Jiyue didn't say anything, Zhu Xiujuan thought that she had guessed it right and felt very proud.
She heard from her sister-in-law in the family compound that the commander of the first regiment would return to the military region in the next few days after getting married.
I went to the office several times in the past two days and asked Wu Jianshe to quickly approve the three-room family compound for their family.
Wu Jianshe said that he would consult the opinion of the head of the first regiment and did not approve it immediately. He kept delaying it until Fu Chengyu and Li Jiyue came back. What was the point of delaying it?
The leader of a group can't have children, so there's no point in having so many rooms. The three rooms are not theirs.
Zhu Xiujuan strolled around the family compound every day. After seeing the three rooms, she was very satisfied. The layout and location were good, which could not be compared with the two rooms. She was determined to get all three rooms.
She said to Li Jiyue in a negotiating tone, "Sister, your husband is childless and can't have children. But we have five children in our family: four daughters and one son. Sons aren't enough, and we need to have more. Then we won't have enough space. Please be considerate of the children and don't compete with us for the children, okay?"
Li Jiyue refused directly, "It's not snatching, it's striving. The regiment commander gets three rooms, the battalion commander gets two rooms, that's the rule. Besides, my husband is the only one in the family.
The elders in my family are counting on me to give birth to eight children and expand their family. Two rooms won’t be enough for us to live in, so we need three rooms too.”
It is impossible to have ten or eight children. One son and one daughter are enough. This is because the allocation of housing in the military family compound also takes into account the family members of the soldier.
The other party even counted the unborn child, so of course she had to count it too.
The smile on Zhu Xiujuan's face froze. She thought that a girl as young as Li Jiyue would be shy and would not dare to compete with her. However, she didn't expect that she was also a tough nut to crack and difficult to deal with.
Her expression changed instantly, and she said angrily, "Your man can't have children. What do you mean by ten or eight? You're just trying to stop people from talking nonsense and have an extra room. Is that really necessary? If you can't have children by then, you'll be deceiving the organization."
"I'm not talking nonsense, and I'm not deceiving the organization. My Captain Fu's infertility has been cured, and he can have children. I've told you several times, but you just don't believe me." Li Jiyue said in a firm tone.
It wasn't her fault that there was no place for the children to live.
She absolutely cannot give up what belongs to her. The house in the staff compound is small. If there are only two rooms, they will not have enough space to live in after they have a child.
Zhu Xiujuan excitedly shouted, "Don't talk nonsense. Everyone in the army knows that you are not a good man and can't have children. You are a virgin, so beautiful, and you have to be a widow at such a young age. Sooner or later, you will run away..."
Anyway, two rooms are enough for you two. We really need three rooms. Three rooms are too small. Four girls have to squeeze into one room."
Li Jiyue's face darkened. "Who are you cursing? It's against the law for anyone to run away and disrupt a marriage. You're a military wife, and you're breaking the law knowing it. Your ideological awareness needs to be improved. You should take some ideological education classes when you have time."
Zhu Xiujuan's face flushed. "You, my thinking is fine, yours is the problem. You think it's great that your husband is the head of the group. We have five more children, but your family doesn't have any. It's not certain whether you can have children.
Minister, the great man said that the organization should treat everyone equally. You can't ignore our family's situation just because her husband is the head of the group. If there are only two rooms, our four daughters and future son will have nowhere to live.
I feel bad for letting the children sleep on the floor. You are a father too, you can’t bear to see children getting sick at such a young age.”
Zhu Xiujuan is not stupid. She knows that the decision-making power still lies with Wu Jianshe, and it is useless to argue with Li Jiyue.
Wu Jianshe felt very troubled when listening to them arguing with each other, as neither side was willing to give in.
"I have received the opinions of the two military wives. The room allocation issue cannot be decided at the moment. We still need to think about it. Perhaps we can see if we can find another room with three rooms. Please go back first."
Zhu Xiujuan immediately responded, "Okay, but Minister Wu, please make sure we get the three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment on the third floor. It's in a great location with good sun. We have a lot of children and a lot of clothes, and it's convenient to dry them in the sun."
Li Jiyue dragged her out and said, "Sister-in-law, if you want everything, it will only embarrass Minister Wu. Listen to the minister first and go back to wait for news."
The two came out of the office and argued all the way, neither of them giving in.
Zhu Xiujuan was so busy arguing that she just remembered she was still being pulled by her. She shook off her hand and said, "Why are you embarrassed? You're just saying it nicely. Aren't you just afraid that I'll take over the three-bedroom apartment?"
Li Jiyue glanced at the office. The people inside were busy reading documents and didn't pay attention to this side. She lowered her voice and said, "Please understand. The captain can ask for three rooms. Your family has two rooms. It's you who wants to compete with our family."
"Haha, it hasn't been decided yet. It's yours. We have a large family. The group leader thinks he's so great. The allocation of houses also depends on the number of people. You're just a couple, why do you need three rooms?"
Li Jiyue said, "If you have more children, you can get bunk beds or a partition. Why do you want three rooms, and a good location with sunshine? Having more children is not a big deal. Who can't have children? You want everything just because you have more children. Why don't you just go to heaven?"
He robs people and acts so confidently, his face is thicker than a city wall.
Zhu Xiujuan gnashed her teeth in anger, her whole body trembling with anger, and pointed at her, "You..."
Li Jiyue slapped her finger away. "What do you mean? I hate it most when people point their fingers at me."
Zhu Xiujuan is 35 years old this year. She has been married for ten years and has given birth to a child every year. She lives alone in the countryside to take care of the children and do farm work. She is thin and small, and when she was pushed by her finger, she staggered to the side a few steps.
"Didn't dare push me?"
After she reacted, she rushed over and pushed Li Jiyue.
Li Jiyue flashed away quickly.
She fell to the ground and fell flat on her face, "Ah!"
Zhu Xiujuan simply lay on the ground without moving, her eyes rolling around, observing the surroundings. She saw someone coming not far away.
She was just about to scream at the top of her lungs and accuse Li Jiyue of bullying her, so that everyone in the army would know Li Jiyue's true face.
By then, public opinion will be on her side, and Li Jiyue will not dare to argue with her.
Suddenly two hands grabbed her arms and lifted her up from the ground
"Oh, sister-in-law, why are you lying on the ground? Get up quickly. Minister Wu told us to wait for news. You lying on the ground will make things difficult for the organization. We are all military wives. We are here to take care of the rear and help the organization, not to cause trouble for the organization. This kind of thinking is not acceptable."
Zhu Xiujuan was furious, her chest felt tight and she was short of breath. She clenched her teeth and said, "You, you, you..."
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with me? I think there's nothing wrong with what I said."
Li Jiyue picked up the person and left. She didn't want to argue with her outside and make people hear her look bad. So she went into the staff quarters to familiarize herself with the environment. She would not give in about the house.
Zhu Xiujuan was left alone, stamping her feet in anger.
