Chapter 471: Helping Out

"Of course," Liu Xiaoqin replied with a smile, not at all upset when rebuffed, "The Captain has a special place in his heart for her."

"Sister-in-law," Wang Shuyun’s face, which had been smiling, turned cold, "Since you are all military wives, you should be mindful of your words, not just blurt them out like some country gossip."

If this gets out, it would not only be bad for their family Yunhai, but also ruin the reputation of that little girl, Gu Lingling.

"Oh dear, look at my big mouth," Liu Xiaoqin laughed and patted her mouth.

Unexpectedly, that little girl Gu Lingling was quite something. How long has it been and she had already won over Yang Yunhai’s mother? Look at her being so protective.

She originally thought that women from the Capital City like Wang Shuyun would normally be arrogant. Wasn’t it said she even looked down on Yang Aiguo?

How could she possibly favor a country girl?

She knew quite a few people, and the higher the position, the more they valued family background.

Not to mention a family like Yang Yunhai’s.

Yet she didn’t expect that after just a few words, she had offended Wang Shuyun.

Liu Xiaoqin hurriedly apologized, and after some earnest pleading, Wang Shuyun’s expression improved a bit.

"Let our Jiang Hong help with the couplets, and leave it to the two kids to handle," Liu Xiaoqin said with a smile, "I’ll help you tidy up the room."

From the time she moved in across from Yang Yunhai until now, Liu Xiaoqin hadn’t set foot in his house even once; she was quite curious.

"No need, I can manage myself," Wang Shuyun declined with a gentle smile.

She didn’t know that son of hers very well, but one thing she did know was that he didn’t like others entering his room.

Liu Xiaoqin, already outside, had to give an embarrassed smile upon hearing this, "Alright then."

Then she shouted towards the house, "Jiang Hong, come out and help quickly."

In fact, if it weren’t for being Yang Yunhai’s neighbor, Wang Shuxia would have said there was no need to help. She just came over to hang up the couplet; as for tidying up the house, she’d better forget about it.

Better not create trouble for Yang Yunhai.

"What’s going on?" Jiang Hong emerged, rubbing her eyes, looking as if she hadn’t woken up yet.

"Go help Yaxin hang up the couplets," Liu Xiaoqin glared at Jiang Hong, this silly girl; she thought she’d been awake for a while with all the talking she’d been doing outside.

"So annoying," Jiang Hong muttered quietly.

But Liu Yaxin, standing nearby, naturally overheard her.

"Auntie," Liu Yaxin tugged at Wang Shuyun’s sleeve.

Liu Xiaoqin nudged her daughter.

"Got it," Jiang Hong said with a yawn, "It’s just hanging up a couple of couplets. Stop pushing me."

"You get a bench, and I’ll hang the couplets," Jiang Hong directed Liu Yaxin.

Even though Liu Yaxin was unwilling, she still pouted and went inside to fetch a stool. They had already brought glue with them.

"Be good, Yaxin. If anything happens, just call Auntie," Wang Shuyun said as she patted her head, knowing she was a bit unhappy. She herself didn’t much like this Jiang Hong.

But since people had come over to help, she couldn’t be unfriendly to a smiling face.

Liu Yaxin nodded, not noticing Jiang Hong’s exaggerated eye roll while standing on the stool.

"Why did you ruin my couplet?"

As a result, no sooner had Wang Shuyun been inside for two minutes when she heard Liu Yaxin’s angry voice from outside, "This couplet was written by my Sister Lingling! Why did you tear it?"
