"How could she be short of money after marrying Zhou Tuan? She just worked hard in the fields and became a landlord overnight. Couldn't she control herself? It would be fine if she could brake, but if she couldn't... Zhou Tuan is the unlucky one, as he married a spendthrift woman for the second time." Someone said.

Qiao Yu simply ignored the gossip outside.

She is packing her things.

There are three bedrooms. Apart from the one for her and Zhou Tuan, the remaining two are for Zhou Jun, Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu, and for Dawei and Xiaoyong respectively.

Before, Zhou Jun lived alone in a small room, and now he moved his things out to give to Dawei and Xiaoyong.

I also brought gifts for the three Zhou Jun brothers.

She handed over the clothes, "Here, a gift for meeting you. I don't know your sizes, and I don't know how to make clothes. Zhou's mother made it, and I just spent a coin."

Zhou Jun was incredulous: "We, we have new clothes?"

"It's a meeting gift, take it quickly."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

Zhou Wu: "Thank you, Auntie."

Zhou Wen still didn't say anything.

Zhou Jun and Zhou Wu tried the new clothes on themselves and when they saw that they fit them well, Zhou Wu tried them on his brother.

All good.

After Qiao Yu packed up his things, he closed the door of the master bedroom, rolled up his sleeves, boiled some water, and drank it with the wild vegetable dumplings and rice flour as a perfunctory dinner.

Although it was perfunctory, every child ate with gusto.

Especially Zhou Wu, after licking the bottom of his own bowl, he saw that his brother did not lick the bottom of his bowl after finishing his meal, so he snatched over his brother's and continued licking.

Qiao Yu: ...

Turn a blind eye.

She has just arrived, so it is better not to express any opinions, lest the adopted sons think that she is difficult to get along with. Wait until they have adjusted to each other.

The dishes and chopsticks are still washed by the three Zhou Jun brothers.

After resting for a while, he boiled some water to wipe his body.

Dawei can wipe it by himself, but Xiaoyong needs Dawei's help.

Nightfall.

The mother and her two children finally had a good sleep.

Zhou Jun was tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. Suddenly, Zhou Wu's voice came over: "Brother, can't you sleep?"

Zhou Jun was startled, but quickly calmed down: "You can't sleep either?"

"Brother, are you thinking about your aunt?"

"Hmm... Auntie looks very special."

Zhou Wu hesitated for a moment, then expressed his inner thoughts: "It feels like what Dad married back was not a stepmother, but a sister."

Yes! That's the feeling!

Zhou Jun turned his head and saw the quiet Zhou Wen staring at Zhou Wu.

Apparently, the three brothers were of the same mind.

The next day, early in the morning.

Qiao Yu took out a can of malted milk and a can of milk powder and gave them to Zhou Jun. "You are the oldest in the family, you decide. Make milk powder for Xiaoyong, and give each brother a few spoonfuls of malted milk for breakfast. At noon, you go to the cafeteria, and Auntie will see if you can come back in the evening."

She ate a cooked egg in her room early in the morning.

Qiao Yu was in a hurry. After talking to Zhou Jun, he picked up his backpack and went out.

I originally wanted to walk to the pier, but just as I walked out of the military compound, I ran into Xiao Zhao's car.

"Sister-in-law, get in the car!"

Without saying a word, Qiao Yu opened the car door and got in.

Before I could even sit down, I realized there was someone else in the car.

She smiled and nodded as a greeting to the stranger.

Xiao Zhao asked, "Sister-in-law, where are you going?"

"Isn't it convenient to check the time in our compound now that we are here? Yesterday I wanted to buy a watch at the supply and marketing cooperative to make do. Zhou Jun said there are many types of watches in the city mall, so I went to take a look. Comrade Xiao Zhao, are you going the same way?"

Just as Xiao Zhao was about to say something, the woman beside Qiao Yu sneered.

Qiao Yu listened, did that laughter carry a hint of contempt from a superior person?

Business people are the best at judging people. Knowing that the other party was full of ill intentions, the smile on Qiao Yu's face disappeared immediately.

"What are you laughing at?"

Zhang Cuihua looked old, with wrinkles on the corners of her eyes when she smiled, and her breasts were a little saggy, probably because she had given birth to a child and didn't have the push-up bras of later generations. But her skin was in good condition, so she should not be very old.

Zhang Cuihua said sarcastically: "Captain Zhou's family is different. They have the power to rule. They don't even allow people to laugh?"

Qiao Yu said coldly, "Oh, you dare to laugh but you don't deserve it. If you look down on my behavior, just say it directly. You put the official hat on me... How long have I been in the military compound? In just one day, how can you have time to show off your official power? Are you bullying me because I am new here and don't know how to behave? Or do you think I am young, thin-skinned, and don't know how to deal with things?"

"Who are you calling Auntie?"

Qiao Yu was surprised: "My mother-in-law is the same age as you. I call my mother-in-law mother, so it's right for me to call you auntie? Why are you angry?"

Ah, or is it that this military compound is based on first come, first served, and whoever arrives first will be able to earn a military rank like a soldier in the army, and can point fingers at the military dependents who come later and give them a hard time?

Auntie, how much do you make a month? What level of clerk are you? Seeing your status, should I call you Director?

I am from the countryside, I am not very knowledgeable, hello, Director, you can laugh at me, I don’t mind!!”

As he spoke, Qiao Yu held the other person's hand and shook him up and down excitedly, causing the people in the car to become dizzy and turn downwards. It took them a while to wake up.

Be good!

I thought he was an uneducated person, but who knew he was so eloquent!

Zhang Cuihua was just a dishwasher in the kitchen. Not only was she labeled as the director by Qiao Yu, but he also said, "Whoever comes first will be able to earn a military rank like a soldier in the army, and can point fingers at the dependents who come later and give her a hard time." Wasn't that a clear compliment?

This is a matter of style!

The last military wife with problematic behavior was the one who took advantage of the army. Not only did she cause her husband to retire early, her uncle was also dismissed, and she also got divorced, leaving her with nowhere to go.

If there is another one...

You might even be caught as an example by your troop leaders!

Zhang Cuihua quickly shook off Qiao Yu's hand, and stopped yelling. She was a little flustered and said, "You, don't talk nonsense! I didn't!"

Qiao Yu: "Aren't you the director?"

"I'm not!"

"Oh, then what were you laughing at?"

"..."

Back to the original question, Zhang Cuihua finally realized how terrifying Zhou Tuan's second wife was.

Zhang Cuihua gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and said, "It's all spread in the military compound. You spent Zhou Tuan's money. When you first arrived yesterday, you ate meat and bought clam oil cream. Today you bought a watch! That's a big item!

You are from the countryside, but once you married Zhou Tuan, your true nature was exposed. You are extravagant and don’t know how to manage your life. What will happen to your children in the future…"

"I didn't spend Zhou Tuan's money." Qiao Yu blinked, "My in-laws gave me the money, and I spent it however I wanted. Did I make a mistake? Did I break the law?"

Zhang Cuihua forgot the pain after the wound healed, and couldn't help sneering: "Don't be ridiculous, you are from the countryside, where do you get so much money? Aren't they all from Hua Zhou Tuan?"

Qiao Yu: "Look at my memory. This matter has only spread among us. Not many people in the military compound know about it. So I will clear my name first, so that you won't maliciously exclude me."

"Who is maliciously excluding you!"

Qiao Yu pretended not to hear the other party's rebuttal.

"As for me, I was supposed to grow up in a compound in the capital. My grandfather was a high-ranking official, and my father was a university professor. My adoptive parents switched my child. Kidnapping is a serious crime, so I sent my adoptive parents to a compound and joined the army.

This note is the compensation my grandpa gave me. He said he owed me for not raising me for so many years.

If you don't believe me, you can go ask about my situation. It's very popular and has been passed down by word of mouth."

"I, I didn't say I didn't believe it..."

"Now, is it wrong for me to spend my own grandfather's money?"

"No..."

"You laughed at me at first, was that wrong?"

"Wrong... I didn't know at first either."

Qiao Yu ignored the second half of the sentence and said, "Since you know you are wrong, please apologize to me, Auntie.

Don't worry, Auntie. I won't be lenient with you just because you are older! As the old saying goes, if the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people! In our new era, the military and the people are one family, and everyone has an equal status! There is no distinction between noble and humble, and no distinction between ages! If someone makes a mistake, he should apologize! Get his attitude right! "

After saying this, Qiao Yu waited obediently.
