Chapter 136 Let Him Be a Platoon Leader First

Yang Niannian looked at the woman walking out of the hall.

She was thin and dark, with rough skin and sunken cheeks. Although she smiled like a flower, her face still looked very shrewd. The woman quickly walked up to them, sizing up Yang Niannian from head to toe, and said with a flattering smile, “Oh, you must be Shi Shen’s wife? You’re so pretty.” “Aunt.” Lu Shi Shen introduced Yang Niannian in a low voice.

“Aunt.” Yang Niannian greeted politely. “Yes.” Aunt Lu smiled even more flatteringly, “You’re so beautiful, you’re a perfect match for our Shi Shen.”

 Guan Ailian came out of the hall with the baby in her arms, inviting them in, “Don’t stand in the yard, come in and sit down.”

 Lu Shi Shen nodded, parked his bicycle under the eaves, and carried the things into the hall. Seeing him carrying so many things, Aunt Lu’s eyes widened, “Oh, why did you buy so much fabric?” “For Big Sister, the baby, and Ruoling to make clothes.”

Yang Niannian took the things from Lu Shi Shen, and directly carried them to the west room. Thankfully, she was smart and wrapped the food in the fabric. Looking at Aunt Lu, it was clear she was the type who loved to take advantage of others.

 Guan Ailian, hearing that it was for her, quickly said, “Sister-in-law, I haven’t even given you a gift, why did you buy us fabric?

 We all have clothes, you should keep it and make clothes for yourself.” Before Yang Niannian could speak, Aunt Lu interjected, “Oh, since Shi Shen’s wife bought it for you, just accept it. They must have made a lot of money outside.

” As she spoke, she winked at Guan Ailian, signaling her to accept the fabric. Guan Ailian felt uneasy. She didn’t have the face to do that.

It wasn’t easy for anyone to make money. Her brother had already helped them enough, even giving them a house. Now that her brother was married, if they continued to take advantage of him, would they even be considered human?

 Knowing Aunt Lu’s personality, Guan Ailian didn’t believe her words and retorted, “They’re newlyweds, how much money could they have?” Aunt Lu, who was usually domineering, didn’t give anyone any face, even when not in her own home.

She mocked Guan Ailian in a strange tone, “You really don’t know what’s good for you. Shi Shen is a military officer in the army, and Niannian runs a small business, how could they be short of money? It’s you two who are broke.

They’re willing to give it to you, just accept it. What are you being so high and mighty for?” She had heard from Ma Xiuzhu that Lu Shi Shen and his wife earned a lot of money each month. Otherwise, how could they afford to build such a good house?

 Lu Shi Shen’s allowance would only increase, not decrease. Yang Niannian frowned and retorted angrily, “Big Sister is being kind and thinking of us.

Why does it sound so different when you say it?

” Aunt Lu was speechless. She didn’t expect Yang Niannian to be so young and have such a sharp tongue. She dared to talk back to her on their first meeting. When she first came to her in-laws’ house, she didn’t have this courage. Seeing that Lu Shi Shen wasn’t managing his wife, it was clear that he was on her side. Aunt Lu understood in her heart that the newlyweds were still in the honeymoon phase.

She was hoping to ask Lu Shi Shen for help, but she didn’t dare to fall out with Yang Niannian. She chuckled and said with a flattering smile, “Look what you said, that’s not what I meant. I just talk like this. I talk to Ailian like this all the time. You probably haven’t gotten used to it yet.” As she spoke, she looked at Guan Ailian, “Ailian, quickly explain to Niannian, don’t let her misunderstand Aunt.

” Guan Ailian admired Yang Niannian with all her heart.

 She had lived to this age, and when arguing with people, she always hesitated. She had never been as bold as Yang Niannian, talking back to anyone who disagreed with her. After all, Aunt Lu was the kind of person who could argue with her mother-in-law for three days and three nights. Now she was actually apologizing to Yang Niannian. Wasn’t this like the sun rising in the west?

 It was so satisfying. While happy, Guan Ailian couldn’t let Yang Niannian really fight with Aunt Lu. After all, Yang Niannian was speaking up for her. So she played peacemaker, “Sister-in-law, put the things down here first, let’s go to the hall and sit.” Aunt Lu nodded in agreement, “Yes, yes, let’s go to the hall and sit.

The hall is airy and cool.” Aunt Lu came this time mainly for her son’s enlistment. She didn’t forget the main reason for her visit.

 Before she even opened her mouth, her face was already blooming like a flower. “Shi Shen, we’re all family, so I won’t beat around the bush.

 I’m actually here to talk to you about Man Yuan’s enlistment. When you go back this time, can you bring Man Yuan to the army to enlist?

” Lu Shi Shen frowned, “If he wants to enlist, he needs to pass the political review.” Aunt Lu secretly rolled her eyes. If he could pass, why would she come here?

After all, she was asking for a favor.

That’s what she thought in her heart, but she didn’t dare to say it out loud. The flattering smile on her face became even more obvious, “People go through the normal procedures to join the army, that’s because they don’t have any connections in the army.

Man Yuan’s older brother is already a military officer in the army, why would he need to go through all that trouble? Don’t you think so?” Before Lu Shi Shen could speak, she continued, “You bring Man Yuan to the army, take care of him a little. Don’t give him too much training. Let him be a platoon leader first, or something like that.

 After a year or two, you can promote him to deputy company commander. You know, he’s been pampered since he was a child.

He can’t take hardship.” Look at how casually she said that, as if she was talking about what to eat for dinner. Are these the words of someone with a brain?

 Yang Niannian couldn’t stand it anymore. She was angry and amused, and she retorted, “Do you think the army is Shi Shen’s martial arts school?”

She wanted him to directly become a platoon leader.

Even TV dramas wouldn’t dare to write such a plot.

Even if his own father was a high-ranking official, he wouldn’t have this kind of power. But Aunt Lu didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she said. She said confidently, “Isn’t Shi Shen a military officer in the army?”
