"chief of staff?!"

Hearing Chen Yourong's words, everyone present was stunned.

Although they didn't know what position the chief of staff held, they knew from Chen Yourong's words that this was a higher-ranking official than a division commander.

Li Xiangyang was promoted again!

This thought slowly rose in their minds.

Jia Zhang stared at the jade pendant until her face turned green.

What's this?

She had just finished saying that Li Xiangyang was not kind enough, and the next second he sent her a gift.

Moreover, judging from the texture of this jade pendant, it is obviously a rare treasure.

Many people also realized this and looked at Jia Zhang with mockery in their eyes.

You slandered others in public, and now you are getting your retribution!

"Uncle He, please accept it!"

In the end, it was Chen Yourong who broke the silence.

He took two steps forward and handed the jade pendant to He Daqing.

“Oh, oh…”

He Daqing was also shocked by this sudden scene and didn't react at all.

It was Xu Hui who was really smart and gave him a push secretly.

"No, no, no, this gift is too expensive!"

He Daqing was startled and quickly returned the jade pendant to Chen Yourong, "Go back and tell Xiangyang that there's no need to be so polite between our two families!"

"Uncle He, my chief of staff said you must accept it!"

Chen Yourong smiled and said, "He also said that he and Battalion Commander He are like brothers. Battalion Commander He cannot go home due to military duties, so as a brother, he must take good care of his sister for him."

"This jade pendant symbolizes peace and longevity, and it is also a gift from Chief of Staff Li."

After hearing what Chen Yourong said, He Daqing didn't know what to do for a moment.

It was Li Changyi who was standing aside who spoke up: "Daqing, please accept this child's gift!"

"Yes, Daqing, let's stop pushing each other around, it makes us look distant."

Cui Xiulan also said this.

"That's...okay!"

He Daqing then took the jade pendant and carefully put it on his daughter He Yufang.

"Yufang, this is a gift from your brother Yang!"

He Yufang was just a one-month-old baby, so how could she understand the value of the jade pendant?

She hugged the jade pendant, which was bigger than her fist, tightly and giggled.

"It seems that Yufang likes this gift very much!"

Cui Xiulan was all smiles.

"Thank you, Brother Li, sister-in-law!"

Xu Huizhen said.

"Xiao Chen, now that you're here, let's eat something together."

Li Changyi said to Chen Yourong.

Chen Yourong shook his head. "No, the Chief of Staff has too many things to do. I need to go back as soon as possible!"

He saluted everyone and then left in a hurry.

Upon seeing this, the residents of the compound all looked surprised.

Look, Li Xiangyang really has military duties to attend to!

"Sister-in-law Jia, let me be fair. You really wrongly blamed Xiangyang this time!"

At this time, Yan Bugui stood up and said, "For this, you have to apologize to Brother Changyi and Sister Cui!"

"Yes, we are all neighbors. What you just said was really unpleasant to hear!"

For a moment, many people followed suit.

"you!"

Jia Zhang gnashed her teeth and looked at the group of people, "Bah! A bunch of spineless guys, just thinking about currying favor with the Li family!"

After these words were spoken, everyone became even more dissatisfied.

Suddenly, the criticism against her became more intense.

Jia Dongxu wanted to say a few good words on his mother's behalf, but the residents were so angry that he could not calm them down alone.

Qin Huairu was even more frightened and hid behind her husband, trembling.

She really couldn't understand why her mother-in-law always did such puzzling things!

"Ms. Jia Zhang, hurry up and apologize to Changyi and his wife. Changyi and his wife are kind-hearted and will not stand up to you."

Yi Zhonghai also stood up and said in a deep voice.

His original intention was just to give Jia Zhang a way out.

After all, Li Xiangyang became an official higher than a division commander, while Jia Zhang was just a commoner. What could she use to fight against him?

But Jia Zhang was really not sensible. When she saw Yi Zhonghai also stood against her, she got angry.

"Bah! What a bunch of crap neighbors! They are all a bunch of mean people who take advantage of others' misfortunes!"

She slammed the table heavily and said, "I won't eat anymore. This is such a pathetic meal!"

After saying this, Jia Zhang got up and left.

"Mother, mother!"

Jia Dongxu was completely panicked and wanted to hold her back.

"Don't pull me!"

Jia Zhang struggled to get rid of his hand, "Although our Jia family is poor, we have backbone!"

"If you say you don't want to eat, then I won't eat!"

She said indignantly.

At this moment, a resident noticed that her pockets were bulging, "Hey, hey, Jia Zhang, what's in your pocket?"

Jia Zhang's face suddenly changed, and she quickly turned sideways to cover her pocket, "What is that? I have nothing in my pocket!"

"That's not right. I just saw you grab a handful of sunflower seeds and peanuts in your pocket!"

Another person said.

Only then did people realize that the plate of peanuts and melon seeds at the table where Jia Zhang was sitting was already empty.

Suddenly, their eyes were full of contempt when they looked at Jia Zhang.

Since the implementation of the planned economy, peanuts and melon seeds have become rare.

If you want to eat it once, you have to exchange it with a ticket.

He Daqing also wanted to celebrate for his daughter, so he gritted his teeth and bought so many peanuts and melon seeds to make everyone happy.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang secretly packed up a lot of them.

Most importantly, no one noticed!

"There are still experts?!"

When Yan Bugui heard this, he immediately quit.

Even someone like him who loved to take advantage of others only secretly took two handfuls, not even half of his pockets were filled.

This Jia Zhang actually filled a whole bag!

"I don't know what you are talking about!"

Jia Zhang pretended to be impatient, turned around and walked home.

But she looked somewhat guilty.

"Don't go!"

Before He Daqing and his wife could say anything, Yan Bugui suddenly stood up.

He took two steps at a time, rushed to Jia Zhang, and grabbed her hands which were tightly covering her pockets!

"Wow!"

All of a sudden, a lot of peanuts and melon seeds fell to the ground!

Suddenly, the residents' faces were filled with disgust.

"Yan Bugui, you're going to die!"

Jia Zhang became angry and humiliated and pushed Yan Bugui hard.

"Don't try to fool around. My eyes are my ruler!"

Yan Bugui pushed his glasses and said with a righteous look on his face.

"I'm furious!"

Jia Zhang's crimes were exposed one after another and she had completely lost all her face.

She stomped her feet hard, then ran back home on her short legs.

"boom!"

To express her anger, Jia Zhang slammed the door shut.

"Mother, mother!"

As soon as Jia Zhang left, Jia Dongxu and his wife could no longer sit there and followed her back home.

"Hey, now that she's been exposed, she's getting anxious!"

Yan Bugui sneered.

At this moment, someone noticed that his pockets were slightly bulging.

"Old Yan, what's in your pocket?"

(ps: I'm in the black room now. Whether I can come back as a king depends on God's will. There should be only one chapter today, and I have to revise the previous plot. It's uncomfortable... I have tried my best to be very careful and dare not write sensitive plots. Alas!)
