Chapter 508: They're even using mobile phones now?

When Wang Yumei saw Bai Zhi and the bed sheet she was holding, she turned her face away in embarrassment.

But she still followed her downstairs, and of course, she couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks, "Some people have no sense of public morality at all. This is a family compound, not your own backyard. You should be more mindful of your behavior."

Bai Zhi turned to look at her and asked calmly, "Sister Wang, are you talking about yourself?"

Wang Yumei retorted angrily, "Don't you know who I'm talking about?"

Also, who is Sister Wang?

Do I really have to call her "elder sister"?

Are there any older sisters as young and fashionable as her?

She's only thirty years old, okay?

She is the most fashionable and modern military wife in this compound.

This woman is fearless because she is young.

Bai Zhi asked her a soul-searching question, "The way you and Company Commander Zhou argued last night was really penetrating; it almost shattered my eardrums. Is that what you call having a sense of public morality?"

Wang Yumei, “........”

Bai Zhi had already walked into the yard, her tone even more sarcastic, "If you two hadn't been arguing, I wouldn't have known where you got that chicken from."

Her words were overheard by Liu Guifang, who had just come over to pour water. Holding the basin, she was extremely embarrassed. "Xiaobai, don't misunderstand. We were just joking yesterday. We didn't mean anything by it."

Liu Guifang glanced resentfully at Wang Yumei, who was standing behind Bai Zhi like a fighting cock.

That damn woman, she argued with her husband Zhou again last night, and everyone downstairs could hear the noise.

I was too far away to hear the specifics of the argument.

Unexpectedly, even their bet came to light.

Losing a chicken is a small matter for her, but if she gets involved in their scandal, her husband, Lao Yang, will definitely criticize her to death when he gets back.

Bai Zhi suddenly saw Liu Guifang turning around at the entrance of the building, and smiled, "Sister Liu, it's nothing, I didn't take it seriously."

Wang Yumei was indignant, arguing that it was clearly Lu Ye and Bai Zhi who lacked public morality last night.

She questioned, "You... what was going on with all that noise you two made last night?"

We're all adults. Their house was making such a racket and acting so intimately. How were we supposed to sleep?

Unfortunately, her husband was useless; after the argument, he didn't try to comfort her and instead hid in the small bedroom to sleep.

She was sulking all night, listening to the sounds of the bed creaking.

Bai Zhi hung up the bedsheets, then spread her hands with an innocent yet graceful expression. "What happened between us? Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and we didn't cheat on each other. What's the problem?"

When Wang Yumei saw her say such embarrassing things without batting an eye, she stomped her foot in anger, "Sister Liu, listen to what she's saying!"

Liu Guifang gave an awkward laugh.

Lu Ye's wife is indeed quite fierce.

But what they said was absolutely right.

They couldn't refute it.

Bai Zhi finished hanging the bed sheets and was about to go upstairs when her mobile phone rang.

When she went downstairs, she planned to call home after hanging up the sheets.

There is no signal inside the house; you need to walk around outside to receive a strong signal.

With Wang Yumei's meddling, everyone forgot about making the phone call.

Luckily, the phone rang.

She answered the phone; it was Ye Tiandong calling.

As soon as the call connected, Ye Tiandong launched into a tirade of complaints.

Bai Zhi chuckled and quickly apologized.

"Uncle, I'm so sorry, I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to call you. Have you returned to Bincheng yet?"

Ye Tiandong said angrily, "I plan to go back in a bit."

"Oh, so the renovation is all arranged?" Bai Zhi said. "Uncle, then you should go back to Bincheng and have a good New Year. We can talk about the renovation of the Nancheng Hotel after the New Year. The work will be of higher quality when the weather is warmer."

"Yes, the blueprints have been finalized, and the workers will start work after the New Year."

Bai Zhi once again gave her a long-winded advice, "When you're celebrating the New Year, you can ask Sister Cui to come to your house to cook for you. Don't stay in the restaurant all the time, and drink less alcohol."

"Also, if my grandfather comes back, could you please look after him...?"

Ye Tiandong, on the other end of the phone, grew impatient and said he was going to the train station to catch a train.

Bai Zhi quickly stopped them, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

“Everything is fine here. Lu Ye came back last night. The neighbors have been very kind to me, and my cousin is here too, so you don’t need to worry about me.”

Bai Zhi ended her call with Ye Tiandong and, seeing that Wang Yumei and Liu Guifang were both there, decided to go back inside.

I'll call home later.

Liu Guifang was surprised to see the large brick in Bai Zhi's hand. "Xiao Bai, you're even using a mobile phone now?"

Bai Zhi explained with a smile, "My family gave it to me so it would be easier for them to contact me."

A gift from my family...

Liu Guifang naturally thought of Lu Ye's family.

Although Lu Ye kept a very low profile in the military, she still heard from her husband that Lu Ye came from an extraordinary family.

That's why she never believed Wang Yumei's claim that Lu Ye's wife was from the countryside.

Liu Guifang suggested, "Now that the weather is warmer, let's go buy some New Year's goods."

Bai Zhi had nothing to do in the morning anyway, so she decided to go out and buy some things. She replied, "Okay, I'll go back to my room to get the money."

Bai Zhi went upstairs, and Wang Yumei stared at her back, her expression still incredulous.

Didn't you say you came from the countryside?

How can they be so extravagant?

They've even started using mobile phones.

Judging from her words on the phone, her uncle must be a big restaurant owner.

Wang Yumei always felt that this girl was deliberately trying to scare people.

Could it be that she's afraid they'll look down on her, so she's deliberately putting on airs by holding up a "broken brick" in front of them?

In this residential compound, her family was the best off; her parents were politicians and her brother was a businessman. Even with all that, she didn't have a big brother.

Wang Yumei thought that Bai Zhi, that little brat, was just being vain and trying to bluff people.

So she decided to test her, "Xiaobai, could I borrow your phone for a moment? I need to call home."

"Don't you have a phone?" Bai Zhi turned to look at her, her tone as casual as if she were asking if she had eaten.

Wang Yumei, “........."

Isn't it strange that she doesn't find something worth ten or twenty thousand yuan strange?

"Sorry, I'm out of phone credit. I'll lend you the credit after I pay my bill."

After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she went back into the house holding the mobile phone.

Her reaction made Wang Yumei even more convinced that she was putting on an act.

She complained to Liu Guifang downstairs, "Look, she won't even lend me her phone number."

Liu Guifang wasn't as cunning as her. She explained for Bai Zhi, "Maybe she really ran out of phone credit. I heard that stuff is expensive."

Bai Zhi went back inside to get some money, put her mobile phone into the wallet at her waist, and went downstairs with her shopping bag.

Liu Guifang was already waiting in the courtyard.

"Sister Liu, let's go."

Just as the two were about to take a step, Wang Yumei caught up with them, saying that she would go too.

"Okay, let's go together then."

Bai Zhi followed behind them, keeping pace with them completely. "Sister Liu, where should we go first?"

"I bought rice, flour and oil for my family a while ago. Today I plan to buy a few pounds of meat to cook. I'll just buy some vegetables later."

Liu Guifang said with a smile, "We'll go shopping for whatever you want. My New Year's goods this year are simple."

Her son will be starting high school next year, and she still hasn't paid off a small portion of the money she borrowed for medical treatment. She just sent money to her parents-in-law back home for the Lunar New Year.

I'm a bit short on cash right now, so I have to be frugal.

Fortunately, there are still two chickens left. They will kill them tomorrow when her husband, Lao Yang, is resting. This year's New Year will be quite plentiful.
