Gu Xiaobei said with a laugh to Li Fengmei, "It's all right, as long as my Lu believes me." But in her mind, she was wondering how she could expose the initiator of the gossip and give them a good scolding in front of the whole courtyard.
Li Fengmei, seeing Gu Xiaobei didn't look upset, let out a sigh of relief and said, "Well, don't take it to heart. After dinner, come look for me in my house." She then walked out the door.
Gu Xiaobei nodded her head, picked up the washbasin and went to the washroom to brush her teeth.
In front of a row of faucets in the washroom, a few army wives were washing clothes, chatting animatedly. When Gu Xiaobei walked in, they stopped talking, but the looks they gave her were contemptuous.
Gu Xiaobei didn't say anything, went to the opposite row of faucets, filled a basin with water, started brushing her teeth, and glanced at the army wives on the opposite side while brushing.
