Chapter 166: Burning incense
After her roar, the military wives dared not speak again, because what she said was right.
Li Yiyi had no idea what was happening here.
Because it rained for four or five days, she stayed at home with her two children and got some food for them during those four or five days.
Now that she had some free time, she had time to make some dumplings for her two children to try.
Thinking that it would be more lively with more people, she invited the Jia, Mo and Liu families to her home to eat dumplings on this sunny day.
After Jia Chunhua and her two friends woke up from their nap, they brought their children to the Jiang family.
Because they work together, the children from the four families now get along just like one family.
As soon as the children touched each other, they played happily together, and the adults didn't need to worry about them at all.
"Oh, this is all the same as above." Jia Chunhua asked Yueyue, found the kitchen, and saw Li Yiyi busy inside.
Li Yiyi looked up and saw the three of them coming over. She smiled and waved at them, saying, "You came just in time. Let's help together."
When the three heard her call, they smiled and washed their hands, some rolled up their sleeves, and soon the four of them started making dumplings.
Halfway through wrapping, Jia Chunhua started talking about some gossip that happened in the family compound.
"Have you heard? Something big happened to Yang Tao's group." She spoke in a low voice.
Her action made everyone present look at her curiously, waiting for her to continue.
"My home is quite close to the Su family's. Yesterday evening, several military wives went to the Su family and made a scene, demanding that Yang Tao return their hard-earned money. This incident was quite a big deal, and people from above came to investigate." Jia Chunhua continued in a low voice.
"There is such a thing. How come I haven't heard of it? Sister Jia, please explain it clearly." Liu Cailan, who couldn't stop gossiping, asked her to continue.
Jia Chunhua smiled and continued, "I heard that the herbs they had been collecting had not been processed at all, and had been piled up. Now almost all of them have rotted. Moreover, when they joined the group, each person paid 10 yuan. Now that they can't make money from the herbs, everyone naturally started to make a fuss."
"These people are so miserable. They followed Yang Tao to do this in the first place just to make some money. Now they not only don't make any money, but they also lost their own money. It would be strange if they didn't make a fuss." Mo Xiaoxi said helplessly.
Li Yiyi was making dumplings while listening, and she felt sorry for the herbs.
But she didn't expect that this incident would happen to her one day.
In the evening, when the four families were sitting in the house eating dumplings happily, two people in army green clothes walked in from outside the door.
"Wow, it's so lively and smells so good. What are you eating?" Zhang Shaoting said as he came in and looked at the lively house.
When the people present saw the two of them coming in, everyone put down their chopsticks and stood up.
"Hello, Commander Zhang, Director Xu." Jiang Hong and others stood up and saluted the two of them.
Zhang Shaoting waved his hand and said, "Don't do this kind of etiquette at home. Sit down, eat and drink as usual. Don't bother us."
Although they said so, everyone still didn't dare to leave them alone and just eat their own food.
Li Yiyi looked at the two of them and asked politely, "Commander Zhang, Director Xu, would you like to sit down and eat something?"
Zhang Shaoting looked at his old friend beside him, "Lao Xu, since Comrade Li is so sincere, why don't we sit down and eat something?"
Xu Jun looked at his old friend helplessly. This guy must be greedy again.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement." Zhang Shaoting didn't care what he thought of him, and immediately said to Li Yiyi, "Since Comrade Li has said so, Lao Xu and I will sit down and eat something."
Li Yiyi's mouth twitched. These two were really rude.
In the end, I had to go to the kitchen and get two more sets of bowls and chopsticks.
After Zhang Shaoting had eaten more than a dozen, his arm was suddenly bumped by his old friend next to him.
"Stop eating and get down to business." Xu Jun looked at his greedy old friend with helplessness.
After Zhang Shaoting asked his old friend to take a photo, he remembered the important purpose of their visit.
“By the way, we didn’t come here just to eat your dumplings. We came to discuss an important matter with Comrade Li.” He finally spoke after wiping his mouth.
When Li Yiyi heard him mention her name, she pointed at herself with a surprised expression on her face and asked, "You're here to see me?"
"Yes, I came to see you. I wonder if you have heard about Su Sheng's wife?" Xu Jun pushed his glasses on his face and began to speak.
Li Yiyi remembered what Jia's wife said when they were making dumplings, so she nodded and said, "I heard a little bit."
Xu Jun pushed his glasses up and continued, "That's good. I won't explain any more. Let me get this straight. The matter of Su Sheng's wife is a big deal right now. I've discussed it with your Chief Zhang and would like to ask for your help."
Li Yiyi laughed and said, "Director Xu, as a woman, I don't think I can help much."
Xu Jun smiled and said, "Comrade Li, don't be so modest. Commander Zhang and I know your abilities very well. The recipe for the heart-saving pills you contributed to our army has saved countless lives on the battlefield. If you say you can't help, we really can't think of anyone else who can help."
After saying these words, Xu Jun was still worried that his words would not convince Comrade Li to agree to help, so he quickly winked at his good friend Zhang Shaoting who was sitting next to him.
After Zhang Shaoting received his friend's look, he quickly said, "That's right, that's right, Comrade Li, don't be so modest. We all know your ability. Lao Xu is right about this matter. We may not be able to help you. Only you can help."
Li Yiyi listened to their praises and smiled helplessly. "Two leaders, I'm so praised by you. If I don't agree to help, it seems that I'm useless. Okay, tell me, how do you want me to help you?"
When they heard her promise, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great, Comrade Li. I don't know what good deeds Comrade Jiang Hong did in his previous life to have such a good wife like you." Zhang Shaoting looked at his subordinates with disdain.
Jiang Hong, who was caught in the crossfire for no reason, looked confused, but he was still happy when he heard his wife being praised.
"Two leaders, why don't you tell me how I can help?" she interrupted with a smile.
"Yes, yes, what we mean is that we want you to help think of a way to sell the batch of medicinal herbs that Su Sheng's wife Fa Fa got? Even if you can only sell some of it, we can't lose it all, right? If you can make a little, you can give some to those military wives." Xu Jun said helplessly.
