The matter of Tian Sangsang participating in the Mid-Autumn Festival gala quickly became a topic of amusement at the dinner tables of the military wives, as they all went home to gossip about it with their husbands. While the other wives may have spoken about it with a hint of mockery, for You Huixixi, there was genuine concern.
"Don't be fooled by Sangsang's rural background, her thoughts… I just can't quite figure her out. Old Lin, here, take this."
Political Commissioner Lin took the registration form from You Huixixi and glanced at it before saying, "Singing program? Our sister-in-law hides her talent well. Her voice is pleasant; I remember how she used to read the newspaper as if she were narrating a story." Deep down, Political Commissioner Lin had a newfound respect for Tian Sangsang, admiring her courage to confront her physical imperfections while focusing on her inner qualities. Though not conventionally attractive, she was undoubtedly multi-talented.
