“My mom only gave birth to me, so I really wish I had siblings around me. I do have three older brothers, but what I really want most is a younger sister and an older sister. I know I'll never have a younger sister or an older sister, so I'm looking for a girl outside who shares my interests to be my sister. Sisi, I think we're a good match. What about you? What's your family situation like? Do you have any siblings?”

"I."

Lin Sisi had only uttered one word when a loud voice interrupted her, "Hey, Little Gu's wife, why are you so busy talking that you're not even picking herbs?"

The speaker was Sister Yang, who was swaying her big hips as she walked towards Lin Sisi and Xu Xinning.

Xu Xinning is the supervising doctor and she can't control her, but she has to keep an eye on Lin Sisi.

Lin Sisi then realized that she had been so busy talking to Xu Xinning that she hadn't even pulled a single blade of grass while squatting on the ground.

Sister Yang came over and pulled her up: "Everyone else is gathering herbs, but you're just chatting here. Come on, come with me over there. I see a lot of the herbs we need over there. Come with me and we can gather them together."

Lin Sisi really wanted to shake off Sister Yang's hand and question what right this fat woman had to tell her what to do.

But if she were to say something blaming Sister Yang, others would definitely think she was not cooperating with the collective labor.

“I just saw some familiar grass here, like the herbs we’re looking for. I’m confirming with Dr. Xu right now.”

“Are you sure you don’t know? I just see you’re not doing any work. Come with me now, I need to keep an eye on you myself to prevent you from slacking off.”

Lin Sisi was so angry that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

This fat man's position is not as high as Gu Mingzhou's; he's just a mere company commander, yet he dares to boss me around here.

At this moment, Company Commander Sun heard the noise and came over, asking them, "What's going on?"

Sister Yang, with her loud voice and quick tongue, said, "Reporting to the company commander, I just noticed that Comrade Lin Sisi was slacking off while working. I want to ask her to come with me to find herbs so I can keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't slack off."

Company Commander Sun immediately shifted his gaze to Lin Sisi, his eyes filled with disgust and contempt.

The lowest-ranking officer living in this family compound is a company commander, and the highest-ranking officer is a deputy regimental commander. If he tries to take care of everyone, he definitely won't be able to do so.

Therefore, they neither take care of nor accommodate anyone.

He said to Lin Sisi, “Since you’ve come with the team to gather herbs, you should act like you’re going to work. We’re not here to wander around or chat idly. If you want to travel, you don’t have to come with us. You can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. But since you’ve come with us, you have to work carefully and diligently like everyone else. You can’t be lazy.”

Lin Sisi's face turned bright red from the criticism.

It was all Gu Mingzhou's fault for insisting that she come here, and for making her get a scolding from a company commander.

When the other military wives heard that someone was being criticized, they all looked over at them.

Seeing Lin Sisi's dejected appearance, Lin Qingyan couldn't help but want to laugh.

Because there were other people present, she could only cover her mouth and turn her head to the side.

After reprimanding Lin Sisi, Company Commander Sun sent her to collect herbs with Sister Yang.

Afterwards, while gathering herbs, Sister Yang kept a close eye on Lin Sisi. Whenever Lin Sisi slacked off, she would immediately report to Company Commander Sun.

She not only kept an eye on Lin Sisi, but also on the other military spouses. If any of the other military commanders were slacking off, she would report it to Company Commander Sun.

Besides Lin Sisi, there were other military wives who were just there to make a show of it for their own and their husbands' reputations. Wu Fengzhen was one of them.

She would stop working every now and then to massage her arms and legs. Even though she hadn't found many herbs, she looked very tired, as if others who weren't tired hadn't done as much work as she had.

Her little tricks didn't escape Sister Yang's sharp eyes. She sat down on the ground and before she could even massage her legs a few times, Sister Yang came over and grabbed her.

"Wu Fengzhen, you're deliberately slacking off too. Look at how many times you've sat on the ground massaging your arms and legs in just this short time, and how many medicinal herbs have you gathered?"

Wu Fengzhen, unconvinced by being lectured by Sister Yang, immediately retorted, "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to tell me what to do? I've been working non-stop, I'm tired, can't I even take a break?"

Sister Yang didn't say much to her and went directly to report to Company Commander Sun. Company Commander Sun said to Wu Fengzhen, "Since you're not feeling well, you don't need to come this afternoon."

Wu Fengzhen immediately stood up. "I'm not feeling unwell, I can do it."

She couldn't let her man down, but she really didn't want to do any real work. So, when she slacked off again, Sister Yang reported it directly to Company Commander Sun, who then sent her down the mountain.

Before leaving, Wu Fengzhen pointed at Sister Yang's nose and cursed, "Yang Yuhuan, you're so capable! You keep tattling on me. You just can't stand seeing others do better than you. I'll never talk to you again."

Sister Yang snorted, "I don't think you really want to gather herbs for the soldiers. You should just go home and rest."

She successfully drove away a competitor, and this time Wu Fengzhen's man certainly won't be as proud as her man.

After Wu Fengzhen was driven away, the other military wives behaved themselves and no one slacked off anymore.

Company Commander Sun specifically praised Sister Yang verbally, saying, "Sister, I can see that you are genuinely dedicated to the army and care about the soldiers. That's good."

Sister Yang was overjoyed; she had been praised, and this should also be helpful to her husband.

Lin Sisi squatted on the ground picking herbs, but she cursed Sister Yang a thousand times, ten thousand times.

They scolded her for meddling and cursed her to die a horrible death.

With Sister Yang watching her, it was very difficult for her to go find Xu Xinning.

When it was finally time to descend the mountain, Lin Sisi decided to go find Xu Xinning.
