At the end of the day, Su Ying felt like her waist wasn't her own.
She came out of the compound and stood at the door waiting for a few minutes, and the bus came.
After she got in the car, she sat in the car thinking about what Du Lili said. She should bring her own meals in the future. She got 25 yuan a month as salary and had one day off every weekend. If she didn't plan to rest, she could work overtime, and the overtime pay was 80 cents a day.
If you calculate carefully, if you don't take a break in a month, you can earn about 28 yuan.
A lunch meal costs 20 cents, so the total food expenses for a month are six dollars, and I end up with twenty-two dollars in my hand, which is a bit of a loss if I think about it.
I don’t know if it was because she was too tired, but she almost fell asleep when the car arrived at the gate of the compound, and her legs were stiff when she got out of the car.
After registering at the gate, she dragged her legs, which felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, towards the courtyard.
Some people in the compound were already sitting under a big tree, eating with bowls in hand.
As soon as Su Ying came back, several women looked furtive, avoided eye contact, and whispered to each other, just like they were setting up an underground intelligence station. It was obvious that they were gossiping about her. Xia Xiaohe was among them, and she even looked at her smugly.
...
...
"Really? Did she really say that in the car this morning?"
"Oh, why would I lie to you? This matter spread all over the compound at noon. She is not only a vixen, but also a troublemaker."
"From now on, I'll have to stay away from you, just like Li Xiumei."
Although their voices were very low, Su Ying still heard them.
Su Ying was already very tired after a day's work, and she shouldn't bother with them, but she got angry just thinking about it.
She paused, tilted her head and smiled politely at the few people: "Who are you talking about, sisters-in-law? It's so lively?"
These people were a little embarrassed, but still relieved.
Fortunately, fortunately, she probably didn’t hear anything.
These people said, "Let's just chat about family matters."
"Oh, I thought someone had offended you. Sisters-in-law are all educated people. It's better to say it openly to avoid being misunderstood and gossiped. Otherwise, why do I smell bad breath?
You don’t know that gossiping about others behind their backs will shorten your life.”
The expressions of these people changed immediately, especially Xia Xiaohe.
Xia Xiaohe felt unlucky. She was happily eating, but someone cursed her to have a short life. She still held the bowl in her hand, stood up, bent over and pointed at Su Ying.
"Look, I was right, she is a troublemaker.
Who are you saying has a short life? Who are you saying?
Let me tell you, Su Ying, you are just a girl from the country. Don't think that just because Captain Lu is nice to you, you can walk around our compound like a jerk.
Do you know who I am? Do you know what level of man I am?
My man is of higher rank than your man, and you still dare to talk to me like that."
It would have been fine if Xia Xiaohe hadn't said this, but after she said this, Su Ying became even more excited.
Others are cheating their fathers, this one is cheating her husband.
"Oh my, who is your man? Your man is the chief, so this compound belongs to you?
Even if your man is the leader, you can't be so arrogant. He is also a soldier and he also needs to be reasonable.
I didn't say anything, but you're gossiping behind my back. You're older, you eat more than me, you talk more than me, you wear more fabric than me, so you're right?"
Su Ying raised her chin, stared with her eyes wide open, and spoke without even thinking.
Anyway, now she feels that one should not be too honest and should be selfish when necessary.
When you are away from home, you are born by your parents and raised by them, so who will spoil you?
She doesn't care anyway. She wants to make herself feel better physically and mentally first before thinking about other things.
Xia Xiaohe saw her say so much in one breath without pausing. She was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
Her man is just a deputy team leader. Although his promotion is a little higher than Lu Dong's, he has not been promoted for several years. She said this because she was angry.
Who knew that Su Ying's mouth was like a winnowing basket, and it would come true as soon as she said it.
Just then, several grown men came out from a small door at the side. Lu Dongsheng was holding a lunch box in his hand, and he heard everything Su Ying said just now.
Xia Xiaohe's man Shen Qingshan was also there.
Shen Qingshan frowned when he heard this. What were they talking about?
Xia Xiaohe said: "Su Ying, you, you, you are simply a shrew. Captain Lu doesn't like you. I like Sister Rumeng.
Why don't you look in the mirror? What's the point of having a good look? You stole Captain Lu and destroyed the relationship between Rumeng and Captain Lu. How can you have the nerve to do that?
It's embarrassing, you're just a vixen."
Xia Xiaohe couldn't handle the scolding, so she started to make trouble.
It just so happens that most of the women in the compound have little education. They just listen to whatever others say and are easily influenced by others. They can exaggerate a small matter and make it into a big event, like the end of the world.
Well, with that said, I guess the whole compound will think she is a vixen with indecent behavior.
Su Ying said: "Sister-in-law, I see that you are older than me, so I am quite polite to you.
I'm just wondering, I've only been here for a few days, how did I offend you?"
Xia Xiaohe said: "I just can't stand your condescending attitude."
Su Ying said calmly: "You are ruining our reputation by saying this.
I asked you, are my husband and Jiang Rumeng in a romantic relationship? That's what you said. You are throwing dirty water on them without any basis.
My lover and I are already married, so it's okay for me to feel a little wronged by what you said, but have you ever thought that this will ruin Jiang Rumeng's reputation?"
Su Ying now understood that Xia Xiaohe was definitely helping Jiang Rumeng. After all, her son was Jiang Rumeng's student. She was trying to shift the blame to whoever caused the trouble.
Xia Xiaohe was about to open her mouth to speak when a man's deep and powerful voice came from behind the women.
"Yes, sister-in-law."
The women looked back and saw that it was Lu Dongsheng, Shen Qingshan and other grown men.
Xia Xiaohe's face turned pale and she was about to say something but stopped herself, her eyes swept across her man's face in horror.
Lu Dongsheng walked forward and gently held Su Ying's wrist with his rough big hand. He didn't even look at Su Ying, but stared at Xia Xiaohe, who had a nervous expression, with his pair of eyes as deep as thick ink.
"Sister-in-law, have you ever seen me and Teacher Jiang dating, or have you ever seen us walking together?"
Xia Xiaohe stuttered and was extremely nervous. She had indeed never seen it.
But all the women in the compound could see that Jiang Rumeng liked Lu Dongsheng.
Lu Dongsheng continued, "Sister-in-law, we all live in the same compound, and we see each other every day. This time I went back and did nothing but marry my wife.
She is the person I fell in love with at first sight, and I married her shamelessly. I can't bear to let her suffer any injustice.
Since when did someone who was married in a formal ceremony become someone who is not presentable in your eyes?
Sister-in-law, I usually call you sister-in-law out of respect, and I hope that next time you speak, especially when you talk nonsense, you can provide evidence.
My wife has a bad temper. Next time she hurts someone, please don’t blame her.”
Lu Dongsheng called them sister-in-law all the time, but there was a deadly sense of oppression in his cold tone that made them feel cold on their backs.
Su Ying tilted her head to look at him. The setting sun fell on the side of his face. She could not see his facial features clearly. She just felt that he was very tall at the moment, and she had to lift her chin to look at him.
Xia Xiaohe opened and closed her mouth again and again, swallowed hard, and then whispered, "We misunderstood, Sister Su Ying, I'm sorry."
Su Ying sneered, is that the end?
Of course not.
However, the soldiers standing next to Lu Dongsheng were all peasants’ children, and she forgave them, not them.
"Sister-in-law, you'd better be more careful with your words next time."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Lu Dongsheng, smiled sweetly at him, and said in a playful voice: "Captain Lu, I'm almost starving. Let's go home."
