Qian Xiaolan became calmer as she became angrier. She pulled the grim-looking Gu Yanqing behind her and said with a smile:
"What this sister-in-law said is really funny. According to you, beautiful women don't know how to live?"
Zhang Xiaoqin glared at her: "That's right."
Qian Xiaolan glanced at her face, then at the faces of everyone present, and said in a surprised tone:
"But all the aunts and sisters-in-law present here are prettier than you. Do you mean that they are not as good as you at managing your life?
No way, no way, so many people can't beat you?"
Zhang Xiaoqin was very sensitive because of her appearance. When she heard Qian Xiaolan say that she was not pretty, she didn't even think about it and immediately got angry: "What do you mean? Are you blind?"
It’s fine to say that she can’t compare with the young wives, but there are several middle-aged women in their fifties here.
Qian Xiaolan glanced at everyone's expressions and smiled slightly:
"It means what it says. Some people these days are really interesting. They know they are inferior to others in every aspect, but they still find ways to praise themselves."
Zhang Xiaoqin's face flushed red, and he pointed at Qian Xiaolan for a long time without being able to speak. He turned to Gu Yanqing and said:
"Xiao Gu, you don't even take care of your wife. You're new here and you don't respect us who came earlier."
Gu Yanqing's face was cold. If Qian Xiaolan hadn't stopped him from speaking, he would have cursed back. Now that Zhang Xiaoqin dared to look for him, he couldn't blame him.
Gu Yanqing came out from behind Qian Xiaolan and was about to speak, but someone else beat him to it.
"Captain Gao, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to cause trouble? How did Xiao Qian disrespect others?
She was so polite when she greeted us just now, unlike some people who had a sour face when they first came here."
"That's right, Captain Gu just doesn't want to meet some girls, right?
As for causing trouble to the young wife as soon as you come here?"
"Hey, some people are so shameless. Don't they know how ugly they look? They even dare to introduce their sister to the young and promising Captain Gu. Ugh!"
…
The sisters-in-law and aunts all scolded Zhang Xiaoqin one after another, and he left in disgrace.
Gu Yanqing was unable to say a word. After all the things were moved into the house and Xiao Huang left, his expression was still very ugly.
Qian Xiaolan held back her laughter and stood on tiptoe to touch his head.
"Alright, alright, next time that woman comes, I'll let you confront her, alright?"
Gu Yanqing's depressed mood instantly improved. He lowered his head and kissed Qian Xiaolan on the face, then hugged her and put his head on her shoulder:
"You don't know how angry I was just now. If I hadn't cared about my skin, I would have torn her mouth apart!
Really, who am I, that I can be cared about by just any cat or dog? "
Qian Xiaolan tried to hold back her laughter and coaxed him, "Yes, yes, yes, you are the head of the Gu Group, you are full of pride, how can you allow anybody to think about you?"
Gu Yanqing sighed: "That's all in the past. In fact, I really like the life in the army, the exciting training and fighting against the enemy.
He gets along well with his comrades and is someone you can trust on the battlefield.
There is no conflict at ordinary times, unlike before, when there were conspiracies and intrigues everywhere, which were bloodless but hard to guard against, and if you were not careful, you would be doomed."
Moreover, she was something he could never get before.
Now, she is his dearest wife.
Qian Xiaolan understood his feelings and hugged him back gently for a while before pushing him away.
"Let's clean up the house quickly, otherwise we will have nowhere to sleep tonight."
This house is built with big stones. There are very few houses like this on the seaside. Most of them are boat-shaped adobe houses and a few scattered brick houses.
Their house has three bedrooms, a main room, a kitchen and a utility room.
What made Qian Xiaolan very satisfied was that there was a small courtyard outside the house. The courtyard was about 20 square meters. The left side had been reclaimed by Xiao Huang and his people to make a vegetable garden, and there was a well and a stone table on the right, making it very convenient to get water.
When the car drove into the village, she looked all the way and thought that their house was not the only one in the village, but it was almost the only one. She thought that her grandfather and grandfather-in-law must have put some effort into getting this house.
Mr. Qian: It’s not a big deal, I just did you a favor.
Mr. Rong: It’s not a big deal, it just cost a little money.
Gu Yanqing had people prepare the large furniture in the house in advance, including the bed, wardrobe, tables, chairs, benches and iron pots.
The floors, furniture and windows have also been wiped and look very clean.
Qian Xiaolan asked Gu Yanqing to get some water and wipe it again while she packed her luggage.
She put clothes and other things in the closet. She brought two sets of sheets and quilt covers this time. She took out one set to make the bed and put the rest in the closet.
Put firewood, rice, oil and salt in the kitchen and wash the pots, pans and bowls by the well.
After wiping the furniture, Gu Yanqing took a knife and started cutting meat.
She washed the rice, put it in the pot and soaked it first, and then cooked it later.
After finishing all this, he went back to the house, grabbed two handfuls of fruit candies, and a few pieces of Anshi's unique orange cakes, slung his basket over his shoulder, and said to Gu Yanqing, "I'm going to ask Sister Wang to bring me some food."
Mrs. Wang, Wang Yufeng, was one of the sisters-in-law who came to watch the fun.
She was cheerful, generous and enthusiastic. Before leaving, I told her that if she needed any help, she could come to me.
In fact, several aunts and sisters-in-law had said this, but Qian Xiaolan could see that only Wang Yufeng was the most sincere.
Qian Xiaolan went out with a basket on her shoulder, and was stopped after taking a few steps.
When I looked up, it was Wang Yufeng, who was also carrying a basket in her hands.
"Xiaolan, you are going out, so come back later. I have something to talk to you about."
