So around six o'clock, when Bi Yue woke up, she lived on the first floor and could hear the noises of people walking up and down the stairs. She also found that the children and their father were all gone. There was a suitcase wide open on the ground. It was obvious that Chu Yifeng was looking for clothes for the children.
She also found a pair of jeans and a pullover sweatshirt for herself, wondering if she would cook. Did the three of them go to buy her breakfast? She opened the door calmly: "Sister-in-law, good morning. Oh, this is your house, right?"
Sun Guixiang, the wife of the Chief of Staff upstairs, replied enthusiastically:
"Yes, this is my little brat, Hua Bin, who is in the fourth grade. You're up pretty early too, sister-in-law? I saw Brigadier General Chu driving your red car outside with your two kids away. I even asked him to come home for dinner, but he refused."
"Ah. That might be the morning market. Okay, sister-in-law, you're busy."
Bi Yue had just finished speaking when the door of the second battalion commander's house next door opened again, and a chubby little boy poked his head out to look at her.
"What's your name?"
"Hey hey." The little boy, who was over four years old, turned around and ran away without closing the door.
Zhang Juan, who was not much older than Bi Yue, came out with chopsticks in her hand and said with a smile, "This is my son, Laibao."
Second Battalion Commander Zhang Juan's husband Qu Haijun happened to enter the building. He had just returned from morning exercises with his team. When he showed up, Bi Yue was stunned and only said a few brief words.
Bi Yue was puzzled. Zhang Juan looked to be in her twenties, but Captain Qu looked to be in his early forties, looking older. Why was his child so young? How much younger than him was his wife? Twenty? Was it so popular to marry an older man these days?
Bi Yue didn't know that she turned around and went into the house. Several families were talking about her while having breakfast.
For example, upstairs, Chief of Staff Ma chewed a steamed bun and drank a mouthful of soup while listening to his eloquent wife Sun Guixiang say:
"Xiao Chu's wife changes her clothes every day. I've never seen her in that style before. When she showed up yesterday, she was wearing a black velvet sports suit.
Just now? Eh? A burnt yellow hooded top, looks like sportswear, doesn't it? Jeans, and those little white shoes have yellow edges.
Even her shoes and clothes match. Oh, it's great to be young. She looks like that. I wasn't exaggerating yesterday; I just really liked looking at her. You say, to me, she looks like a college student, not a mother of two.
Sun Guixiang peeled an egg for her son, and while peeling it she denied what she had just said:
"No, it's not about being young or not, it's about being rich. If my family was as rich as them, I would dare to wear matching clothes. Otherwise, why would I keep the money there? Won't it grow moldy? I guess they could spend all their money in their lifetime, even if they used it as a blanket or a bed."
Ma Zhongping usually didn't like to hear these family gossips. But this wasn't Brigadier General Chu's lover. She'd even been in the newspapers. Even though Brigadier General Chu hadn't come to report, who in the Nanjing Military Region didn't know about it?
His father is awesome, his wife is awesome, but he's young and capable. In a place like the Special Forces, connections aren't the only thing that matter; it's a life-or-death struggle. Anyway, it's only fitting that he's the leader.
He continued, "You? If you want to be as capable as him, you'd have to change into eight outfits a day and be covered in gold to show off."
"Tsk, how could I possibly have that kind of luck? Driving that big red car is only possible in Chuzhou. No, I don't think there are many in Nanjing. Your son is just like you, look at how greedy he is."
"We're talking about other people's families. How did we, the father and the daughter, recruit you?"
"What's the matter? When Brigadier General Chu first arrived, you ignored your status and drove his car to attend a meeting at the military region. Today, your son followed your lead. He was nowhere to be found early in the morning, but he was determined to touch his car, and he was just scratching his head and bumping into the wheels. Brigade General Chu happened to catch him red-handed."
Ma Zhongping quickly patted his son's head and said generously:
"Hua Bin, that thing is expensive, don't touch it. You're so small, and if you crawl under the car, your Uncle Chu can't see you, or your Auntie doesn't notice, what will you do if she presses on you? When you grow up and get into a prestigious university, Dad will buy you one, too. It's a deal."
His son was happy. He was only in the fourth grade, but he was already interested in cars. But Sun Guixiang curled her lips:
"You just brag, you don't have a good grandfather, you don't have a good grandpa, and you are responsible for buying it? Humph, the cucumber dishes are cold."
"Comrade, why are you so vain? Did Brigadier General Chu rely on his father to get to where he is today? Our son is only a child. Don't instill bad ideas in him. He should rely on himself for everything.
Besides, who told you that Xiao Chu's family is well off because his father-in-law is rich? It's his grandfather.
Sister-in-law, let me tell you, they rely on themselves. But you should learn from them. Look at their mother..."
Sun Guixiang didn't believe it.
Before Bi Yue arrived, even though Ma Zhongping introduced everything to her in detail, she still didn't believe it. Even after meeting her until now, she still didn't believe that Bi Yue didn't help.
A funny thing has to be mentioned in the middle of this, that is, she is good at talking and loves to connect with people. When Chu Yifeng just reported for work, she almost misunderstood that Chu Yifeng was not married. She thought that if she could introduce him to a partner, it would be great. That would be a real relationship and a support in the future. She had already thought of the woman she wanted, but she gave up after hearing Bi Yue.
"How old is she? If her family can't afford it, she won't even have the start-up capital. Think about it, we still need capital to start a small business.
Tsk, the newspaper didn’t introduce the family background, what do you know?
Okay, even if her family background is average, she was lucky enough to marry into the Chu family because of her good looks. So her success today must have been helped by the Chu family, right?
Didn't she borrow the light? She's just a young wife, and it's enough for her to use her connections to ask for favors. And she even wants to transport it back on the plane? Transporting bullshit.
Stop the sarcastic remarks. Did your Ma family provide me with any convenience? What can you do to help me? It's good enough that you don't hold me back. Otherwise, how do you know I'm inferior to others?
