Chapter 193 -193: Why Should Women Make Life Difficult for Other Women
Sister Hong saw that Su Meixi’s complexion changed and continued, “Actually, there’s no need to be anxious. Being a military wife, it’s most important to keep your emotions stable. No matter how tough or tiring, just endure it, and it will pass.”
Su Meixi decided on the spot that she wanted to find a job.
A career is a woman’s camouflage. Gu Wei wasn’t short on money, and if she became pregnant, they could hire someone to look after the baby.
…
After buying groceries and eating a simple lunch, she felt bored.
She opened the local job website to see if anyone was hiring doctors.
There were positions, but not for her type.
Oh well, it was rare for her to have a vacation, so she didn’t force it and decided to read a book instead.
In the evening, Gu Wei called her and, as expected, said he wouldn’t be coming home.
She didn’t mind; she hadn’t finished a novel she was absorbed in and preferred not to be interrupted, allowing her to continue reading.
The next day, she went grocery shopping again with Sister Hong and Sister Feng, who mentioned there was a dance over the weekend and asked if she wanted to go.
Naturally, she agreed without hesitation.
…
In the Military District, the families usually stayed at home, and the superiors worried about them living a dull life, so they organized activities every week to let the families play games, sing songs, and dance together.
This week happened to involve ballroom dancing.
About a hundred people showed up in the auditorium. Those who knew how to dance danced, and those who didn’t just sat below, eating sunflower seeds and drinking beverages.
Everyone was also dressed prettily in their best clothes.
Su Meixi wore a white, sleeveless, waist-cinching dress that just reached her knees, showcasing her graceful figure.
She got the dress from Zhou Yuan while taking care of Gu Wei at a hospital in the UK.
Since she had brought few clothes with her, Zhou Yuan gave her more than a dozen dresses, saying anyway it was on Gu Cheng’s card, and Gu Cheng’s money was also the Gu Family’s, so there was no need to pay it back.
Although Su Meixi didn’t recognize the brand or the price, she knew it must be good quality because the fabric felt incredibly nice, too nice to just throw into the washing machine.
And even after washing and drying, the clothes looked almost new.
Perhaps because of this dress, when she appeared, many people focused their attention on her.
“Who is she? Why does she look so unfamiliar?”
“She’s Captain Gu’s wife.”
“Oh, it’s her?”
Many looked at her with welcoming eyes, though some were skeptical, just like Sister Hong and Mrs. Feng at first.
But Su Meixi didn’t mind. She wasn’t good at social interactions and didn’t expect to have many close friends. It was enough for everyone to get along.
Besides, Gu Wei held a high position, so people tended to be nicer to her out of respect for him.
She couldn’t dance, so she sat with Sister Hong, cracking sunflower seeds and watching others dance.

After a while, a long-haired young woman, who looked no more than 22, approached.
She greeted Sister Hong.
Then her gaze fell on Su Meixi.
Her look seemed a bit critical.
Others were mostly just curious about Su Meixi because she was very pretty. A trivial effort in dressing up made her stand out like a movie star among ordinary people.
They were just worried that she might be all looks and no substance.
But the expression of the woman in front of her carried a hint of unfriendliness and disdain.
“Sister Hong introduced, “Xiao Bao, this is Captain Gu’s wife, Su Meixi. You can call her Sister Xi.”
“Xi, this is Bao Min, the brigade commander’s niece, teaching piano and language at our Military District’s elementary school.”
Su Meixi nodded at Xiao Bao.
Bao Min forced a smile at Su Meixi, then asked, “Are you here to stay for a while, or do you plan to be permanently stationed here?”
Su Meixi replied, “Permanently.”
“Are you not working? What did you do before?”
“Doctor.”
Bao Min froze.
A doctor’s educational requirement and salary were generally higher than those of an elementary school teacher.
She looked at Su Meixi with some resentment, “So, did you resign to come here, or have you already transferred to our Military District Hospital?”
“I resigned,” Su Meixi said.
Originally, she wanted a transfer, but she heard it was troublesome, and the Military District Hospital generally hired military doctors. She didn’t want Gu Wei to pull strings for her.
So, she told Gu Wei to resign first, and then they’d slowly look for a job after arriving.
Bao Min finally found a point to attack, “You quit your job before finding a new one. What if you can’t find a new job? Are you going to be unemployed? A woman should never give up her career for a man.”
Su Meixi just smiled lightly and didn’t respond.
Didn’t this young girl see that Sister Hong and Mrs. Feng, both housewives, were here?
Sister Hong and Mrs. Feng immediately took umbrage, “Xiao Bao, why must women make things hard for other women?”
“Yeah, can you guarantee you’ll never marry a military man? Do you know how hard it is to be a military wife?”
“I… I just think Captain Gu’s wife is still young, why give up her career so young?” Bao Min explained.
Sister Hong and Mrs. Feng were still unhappy.
“Captain Gu is in his thirties now, he’s settled down, and soon they’ll have children. When Xi has to work and take care of the kids, how can she manage?”
“Doesn’t Captain Gu’s family have money? Can’t he hire a nanny?”
Mrs. Feng gave her a helpless look, “You’ll understand when you have children. Even with a nanny, someone needs to keep watch at home. Surely Captain Gu can’t be the one? One can’t bear parting with their own child. Before they turn three, you just can’t stand being away from them.”
Bao Min was a bit unconvinced.
What’s wrong with having a nanny? Sacrificing three years of career isn’t the end.
She glared at Su Meixi before leaving, “I’m going to dance. I still have to prepare lessons for tonight.”
…
After Bao Min left, Mrs. Feng commented while cracking sunflower seeds, “That Xiao Bao, relying on the backup of a brigade commander, is really getting carried away.”
Sister Hong said, “I heard she sent gifts to Captain Gu, but he sent them back.”
“Oh, when was that?”
“Just at the beginning of the year.”
“Does she like Captain Gu?”
Sister Hong was about to continue, but Mrs. Feng tapped her, reminding her that Su Meixi was here.
Instead, Su Meixi chuckled, “Many like Gu Wei. Some even chase him in front of me, though they know he’s married.”
Mrs. Feng said, “That’s true, Captain Gu is so young and handsome, it’s normal to like him. If I were a decade younger, I also… anyway, many in this compound like him.”
Su Meixi smiled.
…
That night, back at home, Su Meixi messaged Zhou Yuan.
“Yuanyuan, how have you been these days? Have you gone for a prenatal checkup? Has Gu Cheng’s ex tried contacting him again?”
