Chapter 031: More cruel to women than men?

Looking at the burnt yellow and black but intact aluminum pot on the ground, she threw it into the junk warehouse and replaced it with a new one.

Two dirty bamboo thermoses. Well, this one can be replaced with a new one, too.

When Li Guifen came again, she brought Fengxia with her. When she saw the brand new pot and water bottle, she happily nudged Fengxia with her hand.

"Look! After washing it, is it as good as new?"

Feng Xia smiled and nodded, "If I didn't know this was from your house, I would have thought I had just bought it."

Gu Xiaoxi smiled without saying anything, fetched some water and rinsed the ground.

"Sister Xiaoxi, there's an ink stain on my cotton coat. Can you wash it clean?" Feng Xia suddenly asked.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Sure. If you have any clothes or sheets to wash, bring them here to wash! Let's go get some sun while there's some sunshine today. I have a well here."

Feng Xia had not originally planned to wash the sheets. She usually washed them before the New Year. But when she heard Gu Xiaoxi say this, she immediately went home to get them.

She usually hates washing these big things, but now she has someone to help her.

Seeing that Feng Xia wanted to wash the sheets, Li Guifen, who had nothing to do, went to take apart the quilts at home and took them to wash together.

Gu Xiaoxi took a look at his new product showroom and then took out a bundle of hemp rope.

She picked up this rope on the roadside when she came back from the scrapyard, and now it’s perfect for using as a clothesline.

Her yard was too small, but there was a small wasteland next to it with trees on both sides, so she wrapped the rope around the tree, pulled the rope, wrapped it around the tree at the other end, tied it tightly, then straightened the rope and wrapped it back again.

This way, we can use up all the rope and also create a drying area!

Li Guifen and Feng Xia came over and saw it, and couldn't help nodding, "This is perfect for drying sheets and other things."

"Sister-in-law, you can hang the washed clothes here temporarily to save time." While speaking, Gu Xiaoxi had already fetched water and helped them soak the clothes.

Feng Xia pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay. I was just thinking about hanging the big items over on the playground!"

Xiaoxi is the one who thinks things through!

The three of them were chatting and laughing while washing things, the atmosphere was great!

The things washed by Gu Xiaoxi were the cleanest, so the three of them finally divided the work. Li Guifen, who was stronger, was responsible for drawing water from the well, Gu Xiaoxi washed the first time, and Feng Xia rinsed the water.

The three of them were working very hard and laughing constantly, and their relationship became closer.

Later, several more military wives came over after hearing the noise, and the courtyard became even more lively.

When hanging clothes and sheets out to dry, Gu Xiaoxi would quietly use the wind-drying technique to make the clothes and sheets dry quickly.

After washing the food, Li Guifen went home and brought back a basket of vegetables and two eggs. Feng Xia also brought back some potatoes, a bundle of greens, a handful of green peppers, and two eggs.

"Sister Xiaoxi, these are grown in my own plot of land. I'll give you some to eat."

Gu Xiaoxi originally wanted to refuse, but when she thought about the fact that there were really no vegetables at home, she accepted it.

However, she turned around and took out some apples and oranges to share with her two sisters-in-law.

Li Guifen shook her head repeatedly, "Sister Xiaoxi, this fruit is too expensive, we can't accept it."

Feng Xia also nodded, "Yes! We just received your glutinous rice balls and pumpkin cakes!"

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and said, "It's a matter of reciprocity! There's no such thing as expensive or not expensive. If I didn't like the two sisters-in-law, I wouldn't have given it to them!"

Just when Li Guifen and Feng Xia were feeling deeply moved, a mocking voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Isn't it just a matter of treating people differently? That sounds nice!"

Gu Xiaoxi heard the sound and looked over, then frowned.

When Li Guifen saw that the person with feces on his mouth was Liu Meihua, she was furious. "I gave you face, but you think you are a dish. People like you with feces all over their mouths will make anyone want to vomit. Why don't you go out to look for your old lover today? Why do you come to us to cause trouble?"

Liu Meihua was stunned for a moment, then rushed towards Li Guifen like crazy.

"Who are you talking about? I'll tear your mouth off."

Li Guifen was not afraid of her and really started a fight with her.

Gu Xiaoxi tried to stop him but failed, and was extremely anxious for a moment.

Feng Xia pulled her aside and said calmly, "Don't worry, they are sworn enemies, but your sister-in-law Guifen won't stand the loss."

Gu Xiaoxi was afraid that the two people would fall, so he quickly took away all the small stools and basins around them.

The two of them were pulling each other's hair, tearing each other's clothes, and kicking each other from time to time. It looked very intense.

Gu Xiaoxi was really afraid that the two would get hurt in his home, so he shouted, "Political Commissar!"

Just with this shout, the two people who were still fighting immediately stopped, stood up and straightened their clothes.

Then they found out that they had been deceived and there was no sign of the political commissar anywhere nearby.

Feng Xia couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"That's enough. Liu Meihua, why are you so mean? We didn't provoke you, and we didn't offend you, why do you have to say such sarcastic words?"

Liu Meihua was so angry that she just couldn't help herself.

They are all from the same military family compound, so why did Gu Xiaoxi only send fruits to Feng Xia and Li Guifen?

They were obviously two country people, but they formed a small group together and treated each other differently. She felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Li Guifen was even angrier than Liu Meihua, and snorted, "Liu Meihua, don't provoke me in the future. I'm not saying anything nonsense, you should know that in your heart. If you piss me off, you'll be in trouble!"

Liu Meihua's heart skipped a beat, but she still said stubbornly: "If you piss me off, you won't get away with it."

After saying this, she left with resentment.

Gu Xiaoxi was a little confused and didn't quite understand why these two people were in such an incompatible situation.

Feng Xia seemed to know what she was thinking and explained, "Liu Meihua's family is from the county town, and she has always disliked military wives from the countryside. When Sister Guifen first joined the army, her husband was of a higher rank than Liu Meihua's husband, and she was not convinced, so she secretly targeted Sister Guifen. Sister Guifen was born prematurely when she gave birth to her eldest son, and it was Liu Meihua who caused that..."

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly realized that Liu Meihua was obviously targeting him now.

Could it be because Lu Jiansen’s rank is higher than her man?

But there are many people in the military region who are of higher ranks than Liu Meihua's husband. Her husband is only a deputy battalion commander, and above the battalion commander are the regiment commander, deputy regiment commander, division commander, political commissar, a lot of people of higher ranks!

Li Guifen thought for a moment and said cryptically, "Sister Xiaoxi, let me remind you that Captain Lu is a good man. He is not only capable but also upright. In my words as a man, he has a smooth military career. You must seize the opportunity!"

"Before you came, many people were interested in Captain Lu! Liu Meihua took the initiative to make several attempts on Captain Lu's behalf, but Captain Lu refused."

Feng Xia nodded after hearing this, "Yes. In fact, there is also Captain Xiao's wife. I heard that Ding Lanjing wanted to introduce her sister to Captain Lu, and Captain Xiao also wanted to help his sister..."

While Gu Xiaoxi was stunned, Li Guifen said, "There are several women in the art troupe who have feelings for Captain Lu! If Captain Lu hadn't been so determined and treated women more harshly than men, there would be more women who would want to get close to him..."

Gu Xiaoxi: “…”

Is Lu Jiansen crueler to women than to men?

She doesn't feel it yet!
