The sun was very strong, and Qiao Yu's little face was sunburned red.

She was not the only military wife on the beach. Almost half of the military compound was there.

There was not enough porridge for so many people, and in the end Qiao Yu only managed to get less than a quarter of it.

My face was scorching hot from the sun.

She was so angry that she went home and smashed the bucket on the ground!

"What a loss!"

After smashing them, I thought about how I had worked so hard to pick, pluck, and pry them open, and it would be a pity to just throw them away.

Then he bent down silently and picked it up.

Ran to the kitchen to clean it.

We had seafood soup at noon.

The rest? She was too lazy to do it.

When the children came home from school and saw the pot of seafood soup, they looked at each other.

Zhou Jun, the oldest one, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

Qiao Yu was not like other adults. He was very unhappy. The children came forward to ask him questions tremblingly and spoke in a weird tone.

Did she have a bucket standing there, or did she come to me on her own initiative? The frustration in my heart could not be stopped from pouring out.

"It's all about going to this broken sea. Half of the sisters-in-law in the military compound followed me. I didn't get much, and my skin was so sunburned that it was very uncomfortable. It's better to go to the production team to exchange some seafood. It's only a few cents per pound. I can get a lot of good stuff in exchange, and I won't suffer...

What do the sisters-in-law on the island think? They don’t have much money at home, they are so busy with their husbands and children, and their parents back home, and they have to put themselves in a difficult position… I just came here and had a few days of good life? They can already stare at me with envy…”

Qiao Yu was indeed an outlier in the compound, so much so that after knowing how tough she was, no one dared to get close to her.

Now, only Wang Zhaodi is familiar with the director of the Women's Federation.

Knowing that this fishing trip was a semi-group activity, Qiao Yu came along, one to catch some fish, and the other to chat with others.

Who knew that after a while, I was so hot from the sun that my skin started to burn, and my heart started to feel hot. How could I still have the mood to chat?

The sister-in-law had to work hard to feed her family and didn't even have any money, so she naturally didn't want to argue with her.

Finally, Qiao Yu concluded: "Whoever wants to do this can do whatever they want! Let's not take this blame anymore! Let's eat!"

Children: “…”

It's no wonder that they have been eating staple foods for the past month, with an occasional pot of seafood porridge. Finally, Zhou Jun and the other two no longer change color at the smell of seafood.

After eating, it was Zhou Wen's turn to wash the dishes.

Zhou Jun carried the cow tendon basin to the faucet in the yard, filled it with water and put clothes in it. He wet the soap nuts to make bubbles and then stepped on the clothes with his feet.

The cow tendon basin has cracked several times and has been repaired several times, but it can still be used repeatedly.

People passing by greeted Zhou Jun and said, "Jun boy, are you washing clothes again?"

"Military kids are really capable!"

Zhou Jun smiled shyly.

After they walked away, the group's faces changed and they started talking about Qiao Yu.

"A stepmother is a stepmother. The military son is so pitiful. She has to take care of the little one and wash clothes for the whole family... There is no end to the work."

Qiao Yu thought that the big guys in the military compound kept their distance from her because of her tough personality, but she didn't know that her "abuse" of her stepson had become a hot topic in the compound.

In fact, it can't be called "abuse", after all, what family doesn't let their children do some work? But as a stepmother, her behavior is always portrayed in a malicious way. This proves the saying: It's hard to be a stepmother.

"I heard that person is coming?"

"Huh? Who is it?"

"It's the one in front of Zhou Tuan."

"She? Didn't she go back to her hometown to teach?"

"But she's been able to hook up with other officers in our army. They've been exchanging letters for a few months, right? Her military marriage has been approved, and she's joining the army."

"No way... She can join the army? Isn't she slandering the military?"

"They didn't say it explicitly. After the military investigated, they just advised her to return home. There was no record in the file, so why can't she marry a soldier?"

"Yang Hongxia, who is Bai Yu to you? Is it worth it for you to speak for such a woman with a bad record? Aren't you afraid of dragging down the one in your family?"

Yang Hongxia immediately got angry: "What nonsense are you talking about! Bai Yu is a good person! He is not what you think at all! If you want to blame someone, blame others for misunderstanding you!"

"Yes, yes, we are mistaken. If you have the guts to go to Zhou Tuan's house and make trouble, do you think Qiao Yu will punish you? Oh, or do you think that since Bai Yu is here, someone will join your camp? Can you put a trap on Qiao Yu?

Although I don't like Qiao Yu asking her step-sons to do housework, she has to take care of them. Look at Zhou Jun's children. They are taller and have fatter faces! She is a competent step-mother, right?

Compared to Bai Yu, I really like Qiao Yu!"

Yang Hongxia was so angry that her face turned blue and red. Seeing that no one was speaking up for her, Zhang Cuihua also shrank her neck, stamped her feet, and left quickly.

The auntie spat at Yang Hongxia's back: "What a piece of shit, your brain is not clear, be careful or you will be used as a gun by Bai Yu in the future!"

on the other side.

The director of the Women's Federation was unaware of Qiao Yu's reputation in the compound, and Wang Zhaodi seldom took the initiative to provoke others, until today, when she vaguely heard the news.

She wanted to remind Qiao Yu, but felt that she couldn't explain it too clearly, so she just picked two radishes from her own field and left.

Qiao Yu was a little surprised to see Wang Zhaodi, "Sister-in-law? Why are you here?"

"Sister Qiao, there is something I want to remind you..."

"What?"

"Yes, the one in front of Zhou Tuan has come to join the army."

Qiao Yu was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly remembered.

Oh, Lao Zhou is also getting married for the second time!

I spend every day thinking about food, finding space, and copying food, and I forget that I am still a man in name only.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

Before coming, she was worried that the person in front of Lao Zhou was a difficult character, and there was a lot of gossip in the compound.

After coming...

I was so caught up in the literacy class, food and the children that I had no time to think about anything else.

Qiao Yu blinked and smiled, "Are you tired, sister-in-law? Come in and sit down. I'll make you some sugar water."

Wang Zhaodi couldn't figure out her thoughts and refused: "No, no, I'll go first..."

Qiao Yu forcibly dragged the man into the main room, soaked a few fruit candies without packaging paper in hot water, and finally handed the enamel pot to the other party.

"Sister-in-law, taste it! Isn't it sweet!"

Wang Zhaodi wanted to refuse, but she estimated that there were at least five candies thrown in! Sister Qiao didn't even blink...

She swallowed her saliva, couldn't resist the temptation, drank two sips, and replied happily: "Sweet!"

"It's sweet, it's sweet, just drink a few more sips."

After Wang Zhaodi had a few more sips, Qiao Yu asked, "Sister-in-law, what was the name of the woman in front of Lao Zhou? What was the feud between her and Lao Zhou? How did they get divorced? What is her attitude towards Lao Zhou now?"

Wang Zhaodi: …

Suddenly, I felt that the water in the enamel jar was no longer sweet.

She really didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, so she said awkwardly, "How about I bring you some buns later?"

It's all worth these candies.

Qiao Yu: "Sister-in-law, the people on this island know me very well, but I know nothing about the guy in front of Lao Zhou. If he stands in front of me and tells me something or plots something, I might even laugh at him.

There is a good saying in the army: Never fight a battle you are not prepared for.

I had no preparation at all, while they were fully prepared, so I failed right from the start, didn't I? Not only did I fail, but it also brought shame to our Lao Zhou.

Once I lose face, I will never be able to raise my head in front of him again in my life.

Sister-in-law, do you understand my situation?"
