Chapter 160: Departure to Unlock a New Map



Su Qiao was unaware of Wu Chunhua's thoughts.

Unfortunately, current methods are simply incapable of detecting the existence of this drug.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have let her go so easily.

I wonder how many other methods there are for this "correction".

I'm afraid someone might suddenly do something like that again.

They're leaving tomorrow, so neither of them dares to cook outside anymore.

So they simply set aside a special area in the space for cooking.

The two ate right there in the space.

They didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

When we set off the next day, everyone in the village was already up.

As I passed the village entrance, several middle-aged women were discussing something with strange smiles on their faces.

As Su Qiao and her companion rode past on their bicycles, Su Qiao only heard one sentence: "The sound from Wu Chunhua's courtyard is deafening."

The seemingly random sentence made Su Qiao unconsciously think of medicine.

Could it be...?

Did Wu Chunhua really use it on her daughter-in-law?

Su Qiao secretly made a mental note of it, planning to come back and ask about her family later.

This train is going to a farther place, and it will take three days and three nights.

Lu Xiangze bought a sleeper berth this time.

Fortunately, nothing happened on the way. As soon as they arrived at the station, a young man in this military uniform was waving at them.

Lu Xiangze clearly knew him.

The group rode in a jeep and soon arrived at the military base.

Lu Xiangze went to report for duty first, while Su Qiao was sent to the family compound first.

Perhaps it's because there were people living there before.

It doesn't mean barren.

Although this courtyard is a bit higher up, it is still much larger than the other courtyards.

Su Qiao was very satisfied.

After helping to unload the things, the faces of the group turned as red as monkey bottoms, and they ran away as fast as they could.

Su Qiao closed the door and took a good look at the courtyard.

A small pebble path was laid in the middle, with dirt on both sides.

There is a wooden frame on the left.

There's also a large pit next to it, which looks a bit like a grape trellis.

The vegetable garden on the right immediately caught Su Qiao's attention.

The soil was all freshly turned over.

The vegetables on top were still small and thin.

It doesn't look like planting vegetables, it looks like destroying them...

Su Qiao continued walking inside.

It was completely empty inside, like a bare-bones house. If it weren't for the traces of black charcoal scribbles in the corners...

Su Qiao could hardly believe that people had ever lived here.

She lost interest in looking at the rest and turned to leave.

She easily lifted the two large packages in each hand.

Several military wives who had come to join the fun quietly stopped in their tracks.

"This new girl seems pretty strong. Looks like there's nothing I can help with. I just remembered I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

“Me too, I have to go first,” another person quickly chimed in.

The two military wives left very quickly, as if they were being chased by dogs.

The remaining two were also frightened, and after exchanging a glance:

"I still need to feed the baby."

"I still need to cook."

They both said the same thing for two days.

After saying that, they turned around and left.

They were quite curious when they heard that Deputy Regiment Commander Lu's family was coming to join the army.

I heard they were educated youth sent to the countryside.

Those are city people, probably can't even do housework. Their husbands always ask them to help Su Qiao whenever they have time.

Tell her how to take care of the yard, and lend a hand if you can.

Now that Commander Qi doesn't live here, it would be good to get along well with Deputy Commander Lu.

Several military wives at home readily agreed, as they were all from rural areas and very efficient at their work.

How could she possibly be outshone by a delicate city girl?

Full of confidence, the group arrived at Su Qiao's house in unison after hearing the sound of the jeep.

But to my surprise, I saw Su Qiao easily lift four large packages.

It felt like it was filled with cotton.

Su Qiao's face showed no sign of gritting her teeth or putting on a brave face; she didn't even furrow her brow.

Several military wives were devastated.

They slunk back home.

Unbeknownst to them, as they left, another person carrying a hoe and a basket headed straight for Su Qiao's yard.

Su Qiao had just put her things down when she heard the sound of hoes being wielded wildly outside.

Su Qiao stood at the window and looked out, and saw that an older woman had already dug up all the remaining vegetables.

They are randomly digging up the land.

The older sister even jumped up and stomped on it a few times.

He stomped his foot firmly on the ground before nodding in satisfaction.

Su Qiao opened the door and went out, meeting her older sister's gaze.

The smug look on the older sister's face vanished instantly.

"You're a family member of Deputy Regiment Commander Lu?"

Wang Guiying had heard that her old courtyard house would be allocated to Deputy Regiment Commander Lu in the future.

I was really unhappy.

The new house is comfortable to live in, but there's no land in front of the building, so Wang Guiying has gotten used to growing some vegetables.

So she didn't hand over the keys and would occasionally come to the old courtyard to farm.

She was even more upset when she heard that the house had been given to someone else, but housing was in short supply here, and even if her husband was a regimental commander, there was no reason for him to own two houses.

In a fit of anger, she moved all her belongings home.

It's just an empty shell left.

They even dug up the grapevines.

Now all that's left is this small dish.

Wang Guiying thought Su Qiao and the others wouldn't arrive for several more days, but they arrived today.

She chuckled sheepishly, as if she hadn't been the one arguing so much just moments before.

"Young lady, you must be a new family member here. Welcome, welcome!" Wang Guiying's words were simple and honest.

But Su Qiao didn't dare to draw a conclusion so easily.

After all, they can calculate it so clearly.

He doesn't seem like someone easy to get along with.

"Are you planting vegetables, big sister?" Are you planting vegetables in my yard?

Wang Guiying never expected that the topic could be brought back.

He seemed rather unconvinced.

She still had a smile on her face.

"I heard that Deputy Regiment Commander Lu's family was coming, so I thought I'd planted some vegetables here. I heard you're from the city, and I was worried you wouldn't know they were vegetables and might mistake them for weeds and waste them. Don't you all like to grow flowers and plants..."

"What's your name, sister-in-law?"

Wang Guiying was a little confused; why was this being brought up all of a sudden?

"I am a family member of Commander Qi, you can just call me Sister-in-law Wang."

"Hello, Sister-in-law Wang, but I feel something's not quite right. I was a sent-down youth, so I recognize these simple vegetables." Su Qiao looked at the half-dead vegetable seedlings inside.

He then changed the subject: "However, my sister-in-law should know more than I do."

Following her gaze, Wang Guilan immediately saw the vegetables in her own basket.

Suddenly feeling that Su Qiao's words were full of sarcasm, he could no longer pretend, so he picked up his hoe and basket.

"Since you haven't finished packing yet, I'll head back now. I've also taken the rest of your things. Remember to go and furnish your place soon."

Wang Guiying said this with a pointed remark.

Anyway, her husband is the regimental commander, so why would he be afraid of this deputy?

She walked and laughed.

She could already imagine how Su Qiao would cry when she saw that the bedroom was empty, without even a bed.
