Chapter 774: Chapter 0774 Meaningful Listener 3_1

Even though they live in the same military-family compound, the families of high-ranking officers and those of middle-and lower-ranking officers are not housed the same, resulting in less contact between them. The families of mid-and low-ranking officers prefer to associate with families of comparable status.

Moreover, country people stick to their own kind, and city people do likewise, neatly divided.

These families that frequently associate with Lu Zhaodi, like Lu Zhaodi and Jin Feng themselves, are wives of middle-to-lower ranking officers who originally came from the countryside. They share similar outlooks and similarities in thinking, making their interactions particularly comfortable.

Even if they quarrel over trivial things, they don’t fall out.

"Actually, she’s from the countryside just like us," Lu Zhaodi continued. "But she has taken on this capitalist persona, primping herself up like a fox spirit, and is even fussier than city folks. While we all use the public toilets in the compound, they have a private one erected in their yard. She changes her son’s outfits daily. Which child is like hers, with a hundred clothing changes available to him? I also heard that they use separate towels for wiping their faces and washing their feet, possess their own enamel basins for personal use and separate ones for guests, and separate ones again for brushing teeth. The mother and daughter apply Snow Cream, and the division commander uses Snake Oil Cream, which is expensive! They treat it like the Snow Cream. Their house is equipped with woollen blankets, towel quilts, cashmere clothes, leather shoulder cloaks and caps; all high-quality items. The division commander’s social status is not as good as our revolutionary comrades. His family are bad elements, landlords. It’s unjust how such bad elements have climbed to such positions."

Hearing this, everyone was astounded.

"Really? Sister-in-law, is everything you said true? Is their life really that luxurious? I have heard about the old leader’s life in the capital, and it’s not as extravagant as theirs. The old leader uses one patched towel for both his face and feet."

"They live even better than the old leader? How can that be possible?"

"We must economize our daily lives while they live lavishly. It’s infuriating."

"Landlords? Good heavens, how can someone of such social status be a division commander? They are the exploiting class, and we are the working class. We must subdue them and not let them overpower us! The division commander is the son of a landlord. What about Feng Qingxue? Surely, her social status is not good either? Must be a capitalist?"

As Jin Feng voiced this question, others nodded in agreement. They knew well that people of good social status marry others of good social status, while those of bad social status can only marry others of the same kind. Given what Lu Zhaodi had said about Feng Qingxue’s character, she must indeed belong to the latter category.

Lu Zhaodi responded, "Haven’t I mentioned? She is from a poor family. It’s a mystery how she married the division commander."

When these words were spoken, they caused a reaction similar to dropping a drop of water into boiling oil, making it splatter everywhere and causing intense burning sensation on the skin.

"A poor family? How can someone from a poor family marry a landlord’s son? Haven’t their ancestors suffered enough from exploitation?"

"This is a disgrace to us, the lower-middle peasants!"

"Yes, such a shame!"

"Did she feel that because the division commander holds a high position in the army and earns a good salary, her family didn’t care about social status and arranged her marriage to him? It must be like that. No other explanation makes sense."
