Chapter 54: Deliberate Bank Run

When the two of them appeared at the same time, a soldier from the military district couldn't help but tease them, "Captain, are you coming here with Miss Su?"

"Miss Su pickled a lot of dried fish for us again. This time the dried fish is heavier, and she was considerate of me, so she helped me carry it over."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Su Lanqiao.

"Miss Su is very considerate and has helped us brothers a lot!"

"Yeah, normally when we go to exchange supplies with others, they're eager to get more from us, but with Miss Su, she's even offering us a discount. How can we accept that?"

"Last time, I accidentally scratched my foot with a shell on the beach, and Miss Su bandaged it for me. I didn't have time to thank you yet."

Su Lanqiao's eyes were red because she had just cried, but she smiled and looked at the soldier in front of her. The other party was almost fascinated by her appearance.

"You're welcome. I only have a superficial understanding of this area. I'm glad to be able to help you."

Some military wives gathered not far away. They watched Su Lanqiao chatting animatedly with the soldiers with smiles on her faces. Perhaps it was because of women's sixth sense, but after seeing this scene, they felt itchy in their hearts.

"Little girl, do you really think you're a capitalist's daughter?"

"That's right, you're totally shameless, gossiping with these men all day long."

"I heard their family got into trouble, so they were sent to this place. You said that rich people like them must not be used to living here. Maybe they just want to use these men to leave this place. They only know how to seduce people here. Shameless vixen!"

The military wives spat loudly on the ground. Everyone disliked Su Lanqiao and thought she was seducing military personnel and destroying other people's families.

"These dried fish have been delivered, so I'll leave first."

"Thank you, brother. Thank you for listening to me today. I feel much better now. I've been researching some new ways to make dried fish. I'll bring you the finished product and you can give me your feedback."

"Okay, then be careful on the road."

Xie Yunfeng stared at Su Lanqiao as she left. When she disappeared, one of the soldiers reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "Captain, Miss Su has already left, and you're still looking at her? You couldn't have fallen in love with her in such a short time, did you?"

He glared at the other person and said, "What are you talking about? Hurry and take this dried fish to the logistics department. Don't let it affect the canteen's cooking."

The next day, when Su Lanqiao was about to start work, two or three military wives came and stood in front of her. "Ladies, what can I do for you?"

The military wives snorted coldly, pointed at her nose and said, "You don't have to pickle the fish today. Yu Ming just caught a lot of fish. Go sort them."

The sorter's job is to classify the fish freshly caught by the fishermen by size and species. There may be crabs, shrimps, big fish and small fish, so her job is to sort them all out.

But this job is not easy.

Not to mention that the fish caught on this boat were dozens of kilograms less, weighing hundreds of kilograms.

Moreover, some fish have poisonous spines, and some fish are large in size, so it takes some effort to move them.

The small fish would take forever to sort, so when Su Lanqiao heard this, her expression changed. "Why do you suddenly ask me to sort them? Aren't I pickling these fish well?"

One of the wives was a little impatient. "Just go when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much? It doesn't matter what job you do. Do you think you dislike this job?"

"That's right, we give you work because we think highly of you. Otherwise, all of us can do these jobs, so why would we keep you here? It's not just because you're a girl and you don't do any work, and you don't even get paid. So people won't say we're bullying you."

"Hurry up and do it. Their ship will be here soon. Don't waste time."

The pickled fish can only be pickled after the sorters have completely broken down the fish, mainly those that are of the right size.

So if these military wives want to do the work of pickling fish, they have to wait for Su Lanqiao to sort the fish.

If she delayed this step of the work, it would affect the next process, and she would definitely be scolded by the team leader.

Su Lanqiao watched the backs of these military wives leaving, and she clenched her fists unwillingly. Why?

When she came before, she was not allowed to do these dirty and heavy work, but now she is asked to do these. It is clear that they are deliberately targeting her.

But she was a person with little influence, and these military wives were all small groups, so she had no say at all, so she had to go to the fishing boat quietly to sort the fish.

When the first fishing boat came over, Su Lanqiao saw that the fishing net was full of fish, even some snake-like conger eels.

She had never been exposed to these things before, but she already felt nauseous.

The fishermen saw Su Lanqiao standing there motionless like a log and shouted, "Who are you... Are you today's sorter? Come here quickly before you waste time."

Su Lanqiao bit her lip and trembled. She had no choice but to go to the fishing boat and open the net. Suddenly, all the fish poured out.

Those fish that looked normal were fine, but some were so weird and ugly that she didn't even dare to touch them.

Not to mention that the claws of crabs and shrimps might hurt her hands.

"Hurry up and do it! Why are you taking so long? There are several ships coming over here."

The fisherman looked at her in a daze and couldn't help but urge her.

There was no choice but to bend over and sit on a low stool to start sorting the fish.

"ah…"

Suddenly she cried out in surprise, and the fisherman turned his head to look at her after hearing the noise, "What's wrong with you?"

She raised her head and looked at the fisherman pitifully, "This fish has bones on it. I got caught. It hurts!"

Her tricks might work in front of those hot-blooded soldiers, but these fishermen are used to dealing with fish on a daily basis. Perhaps a fat fish weighing more than ten kilograms is more attractive than a fair-skinned girl.

"How could you be so stupid? Luckily this fish isn't poisonous, otherwise you'd probably be wasting your hand."

"There are gloves right here, can't you put them on? Seriously, why did the captain send you here to sort things today? You're wasting people's time every day."

After the fisherman finished speaking, he drove the empty boat to continue fishing in the sea. As for Su Lanqiao, after putting on her gloves, she looked at the small fish and shrimps on the ground with resentment.

He stretched out his hands and strangled those powerless fish and shrimp to death, "It's all your fault... It's all your fault!"
