Chapter 24 Wanting More

After parting ways with Gu Xizhou in Zhaojia Village, Su Nanzhi went to a state-owned restaurant and bought a bowl of porridge and a meat bun for breakfast.

She was originally in a low mood, but after hearing the conversation next door, her mood immediately improved a lot.

"Did you hear? There was a soldier pooping in the corridor of the hospital this morning."

"I know. I heard that after he pooped, the soldier even lay on the ground and asked for food."

"I was there. Don't tell me, that soldier was covered in shit, and he looked like a deputy battalion commander."

…

Although it is a bit disgusting to talk about these shit, piss and fart things while eating.

But the central figure of the gossip was a soldier, a deputy battalion commander, and he was shitting in the corridor. Any point brought up could cause everyone to discuss for a long time.

In the end, they were persuaded to stop by the staff of the state-owned restaurant, and everyone stopped chatting.

Su Nanzhi felt much better, but she still had no appetite. It took her a long time to finish the porridge and buns she bought at noon.

Although Gu Xizhou had an unexpected incident in the morning, Su Nanzhi still arrived at a residential area not far from the army as planned.

Because it is close to the military unit, many people who work in the military live nearby, including Zhao Xue.

Zhao Xue worked as a temporary worker in the army canteen. After Zhou Qiang passed away, she and Zhou Xiaobao moved to this residential area.

The residential area has both buildings and bungalows.

The house that Zhao Xue and Zhou Xiaobao rented was a bungalow.

The bungalow is located at the innermost part of the community, and Zhao Xue's house is right next to the innermost part of the townhouse.

Because the townhouse was not fully occupied, the location of Zhao Xue's house was very quiet.

Therefore, as soon as Su Nanzhi walked into the townhouse area, she heard voices coming from the well not far away.

"Ding Laikan, I might as well give birth to a pig than you. Giving birth to a pig can fill my stomach, but what can giving birth to you do?"

"Other girls your age can help support the family."

"What about you? You only get a small salary as a temporary worker a month, which is not enough for you to use."

"You're not as good as the widow next door. Look at her. Her husband is dead, but she still has a baby. She lives a happy life."

Mother Ding became more and more excited as she spoke, and finally slapped the girl who was squatting next to her.

The girl, Ding Laiwei, felt pained and annoyed by the nagging. She threw the cabbage in her hand into the basin and shouted, "If you like Zhao Xue so much, then why don't you adopt her as your daughter?"

"It just so happens that you can have a few more sons-in-law."

When Ding's mother heard this, she poked Ding Lai's forehead with her finger and said, "Did I ask you to learn her bad habits? I asked you to learn how she seduces men."

"If you could just hook up with a decent man, your mother and I wouldn't have to live such a miserable life for the rest of our lives."

Ding Laidi rubbed his forehead, lowered his head and pursed his lips to retort: ​​"Zhao Xue is still flirting with men in the middle of the night. I can never learn from her even if you kill me."

When Ding's mother heard this, she looked around nervously and hit the girl hard on the back again.

"You're such a loose-lipped person! You dare to say anything out loud. If Heige's men hear you, you won't even know how you died."

Ding Lai's neck shrank, and he looked around warily, but he still said stubbornly: "I'm not talking nonsense, Zhao Xue is indeed flirting with someone."

Seeing her daughter's unyielding look, Ding's mother slapped her on the back a few more times before turning around and going home angrily.

Ding Lai Di lowered his head to wash the vegetables, muttering to himself.

"I'm not wrong. I heard a man's voice in her house the night before last."

"Did you see what the man looked like?"

Su Nanzhi's sudden words startled Ding Laidi who was talking to himself.

"Who...who are you?"

Su Nanzhi blinked and gave a friendly smile.

"I'm here looking for Zhao Xue. Do you know Zhao Xue?"

Hearing Zhao Xue's name, Ding Lai rolled his eyes and said gruffly, "I don't know her."

Su Nanzhi didn't seem to notice Ding Lai's displeasure. She leaned over to her and whispered, "I just heard what you said to your mother."

Ding Laidi immediately became alert and said, "I don't understand what you are saying."

He stood up and was about to leave.

Su Nanzhi immediately made her position clear, "I hate Zhao Xue even more than you do."

"She's hooking up with my fiancé."

Ding Lai Dian paused as he was about to leave, but then he became more energetic.

"Your fiancé and Zhao Xue? What does your fiancé do?"

Su Nanzhi did not answer, but Ding Lai Di began to guess.

"From the cafeteria? From the steel mill? From the Revolutionary Committee? From the army?"

Ding Lai was very excited in guessing, and Su Nanzhi was a little surprised when she heard it.

She knew that Zhao Xue's private life was a bit messy, but she didn't expect it to be so messy.

However, this also explains why Zhao Xue's private life in her previous life was so chaotic but was not exposed. Zhao Xue made friends with all kinds of people, and there was no need for people who had no blood feud with Zhao Xue to take the risk of offending her.

"I didn't expect Zhao Xue knew so many people."

Su Nanzhi felt a little emotional. After seeing Ding Lai's wary eyes, she came to her senses and continued, "I just heard your mother call you Lai Kan. Can I call you that too?"

Without waiting for Ding Lai Di's reply, she said with tears in her eyes, "Lai Di, to be honest, I came to the army from another place to visit my relatives. I didn't expect that my fiancé gave most of his allowance to Zhao Xue."

"The night before last, everything in my fiancé's home at the military was robbed. He said he was so soundly asleep that he didn't hear anything and he even scolded me."

"But I guess he wasn't in the army the night before yesterday. He must have hooked up with Zhao Xue that night."

At this point, Su Nanzhi paused slightly. As if she had just thought of something, she explained, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, my fiancé is the deputy battalion commander in the army. He's the first person in our village to hold such a high position."

Ding Lai looked at the conditions and said, "But the person who was at Zhao Fang's house the night before yesterday was a cripple."

A smile flashed across Su Nanzhi's eyes, and the sad expression on her face became even more intense.

"Yes, my fiancé injured his leg while on a mission some time ago."

Ding Lai's expression turned pale and blue.

Although her house and Zhao Xue's house are separated by several houses, those houses are empty all year round and no one rents them, so usually no one can hear any noise from her house.

But because she had the habit of getting up at night to go to the toilet, every time she went to the toilet and passed by Zhao Xue's house, she could hear noises coming from Zhao Xue's house from time to time.

The night before yesterday, when she just left the house and was about to go to the bathroom, she saw Zhao Xue supporting a limping man into her house.

Although she couldn't see the man's face clearly, she could see his figure and the wheelchair parked at her door.

But when she got up and opened the door the next day, the wheelchair at Zhao Xue's door had disappeared.

She also spitted at Zhao Xue's increasingly heavy taste. She didn't expect that the lame man was an officer and a deputy battalion commander.

How to match Zhao Xue?

Su Nanzhi wiped her tearless eyes and pleaded, "Come and see, can you be my witness and go with me to report these two bastards?"

"I'm going to send this pair of bastards to a farm for reform."

Ding Lai Di's heart moved, but he regained his rationality.

She just saw it, but didn't catch the two committing adultery.

Although Su Nanzhi's words just now indirectly indicated that her fiancé was just a country boy with no background, if she failed to report him, she would still be in trouble.

And if she really reports it, what good will it do her?

Thinking of this, she asked.

Su Nanzhi pretended to be shocked. "Don't you hate Zhao Xue? Aren't you happy that she's in trouble?"

Ding Lai rolled his eyes. "I'm not a fool to offend Zhao Xue just for fun."

Su Nanzhi had long anticipated Ding Lai Di's reaction. Ding Lai Di would not go and cause trouble for Zhao Xue just because of a few words from her, even though she disliked or even hated Zhao Xue.

But she knew one thing.

No one can resist the temptation of profit. If there is, it is because the profit is not big enough.

"If you help me, I can give you money."

Su Nanzhi continued to plead, "Is 50 enough? 100 is all I can afford."

Sure enough, Ding Lai, who had just said that he was not a fool, immediately became excited.

"100? Just ask me to be a witness. I won't do it unless you give me 500."

Su Nanzhi asked Ding Lai Di several times, but Ding Lai Di refused sternly every time.

Su Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was a poor person and didn't have that much money.

"Look, I'm just a country girl. I'm not like Zhao Xue who has so many men spending money on her, nor am I like my fiancé who's a deputy battalion commander. How could I possibly have so much money?"

After seeing Ding Laidi's eyes suddenly light up, Su Nanzhi stood up and left regretfully.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to give it, but it’s obvious that Ding Lai Di wants more.

It just so happened that Zhao Xue and Qin Lie could meet her requirements.

Now she hopes Ding Lai Kian can take action sooner.

After walking a few steps, she turned around and looked at Ding Lai who was hiding in the shade of the tree.

She is not a good person and she takes advantage of the bad nature of human beings to achieve her own goals.

But she doesn't regret it.

Turn around and leave resolutely.
