——————

Entering the living room, one could see an old set of redwood sofas which Zhang Shan Ni had thoroughly cleaned. She had cleverly coated the worn spots with Space paint and concealed them with cotton pads, making the damages hardly noticeable.

Anyone who knows their stuff would definitely recognize the value of this sofa set.

Opposite the sofa was a combination of bookcases and a TV stand, a hallmark of this era. Zhang Shan Ni found it very practical, and since others deemed it too expensive and it had been sitting around for a while, it perfectly suited her taste, so she bought a set outright.

Anyway, with money in hand, Zhang Shan Ni didn’t think the cabinet was too pricey at just a hundred bucks. Instead, she felt it was a bargain for its quality.

Her man’s belongings had already been organized by her, and Zhang Shan Ni, now just crossing into her fourth month of pregnancy, calmly went about tidying with her little belly.

Pregnant women with OCD are truly finicky.

Before moving in, Zhang Shan Ni had already used the ’Deodorant’ from the Space to absorb any harmful odors from the furniture. Only after using up three deodorants and ensuring the core layer was still snow white and unchanged did she feel secure to move in.

Now she has been living in the Rong Department’s military family housing for half a month. Since it’s a new building, most of the residents are of similar ranks to Xie Jingchen, so there aren’t any strict hierarchical relationships.

After all, Mrs. Rong comes from various places and backgrounds, some from the countryside like Zhang Shan Ni, others from the city, locals, and those from other provinces.

A single military family building gathers people from all directions, with over a dozen different dialects. Thankfully, everyone knows they need to communicate and can only converse in standard Mandarin; otherwise, Zhang Shan Ni would really find it a case of "the chicken talks to the duck" completely baffling.

Even so, everyone’s Mandarin carries their hometown accent, some speak too fast or have a strong rolled tongue, making it hard to understand. Zhang Shan Ni often looks at them with an innocent ’What are you saying? I can’t understand!’ expression, making it clear how ’distinct’ her Mandarin is.

Currently, in the same military family building, about fifty to sixty percent is occupied, and most of the men from this same building are out on assignments. Everyone jokes around on the surface but turns around with a worried and distressed face in private.

Zhang Shan Ni is pregnant, and she treasures the little baby in her belly immensely, really not wanting to expose the baby to all that heavily accented Mandarin, in case it affects the baby’s prenatal education for the worse.

Truth be told, Zhang Shan Ni feels that her belly has grown a bit too fast. Even though it’s only been four months, her belly has suddenly swelled in the past half month, sizing up like someone else’s five months pregnant – and that really draws attention.

Now, pretty much all the Mrs. Rong in this building know about her condition. Usually, they whisper and point behind her back, and after overhearing them a few times, Zhang Shan Ni finds it somewhat amusing yet frustrating.

It comes down to this: Zhang Shan Ni’s belly has grown excessively large for only four months of marriage to Xie Jingchen, yet looking like she’s five or six months along, which certainly surprises others. Some of the more experienced ladies start spreading their own opinions behind her back.

The most direct accusation is that the child in Zhang Shan Ni’s womb isn’t Camp Commander Xie’s at all.

Though Zhang Shan Ni doesn’t care much about reputation, being the subject of gossip and direct insinuations of infidelity certainly annoys anyone. It’s as if they are slapping her face, branding her unfaithful and impure.
