Besides seeing four children practicing calligraphy, the two also noticed Liu Mingfeng's study, and were surprised to see two bookshelves full of books. However, neither of them said anything at this point. Instead, they quietly left the study doorway with Wu Qiaoqiao and walked into the courtyard before asking her questions.
"Why are there so many books in your study? Are they all for you and your husband to read?"
Seeing the curious expressions on their faces, Wu Qiaoqiao knew she had taken the bait. Bringing them to see calligraphy and the study today was part of her plan. Even if the two weren't curious and didn't ask, Liu Mingfeng would let his comrades know about the study tonight. So Wu Qiaoqiao spoke to the two of them.
"Hi, these books were sent to me by my friend. I usually like to write articles, and she now runs a publishing house. She wants me to write some articles and submit them to her publishing house for publication. She sent these books to me so that I can enrich my knowledge."
Both women were surprised to hear Wu Qiaoqiao say that she could actually write articles, especially Nie Ying, whose husband, Old Sun, had personally told her that Battalion Commander Liu's wife was no ordinary person. She not only owned a factory in her hometown but also partnered with the military to run a security company that took in veterans who had been discharged due to injuries.
When Nie Ying first heard her husband Sun talk about it, she thought that Battalion Commander Liu's wife was a shrewd businesswoman. But when she met her for the first time yesterday, she found that she was a beautiful woman with a scholarly air. Today, she even learned that she can write articles.
At this moment, she and Aunt Zhou smiled at each other, recalling the rumors that had been circulating in the army at that time. When Battalion Commander Liu was first transferred here, everyone assumed he was unmarried because he was so young, so some people started introducing him to others. Who knew that they would find out from Battalion Commander Liu that he was not only married, but also had four children.
The women who had their eyes on Battalion Commander Liu used to say sour things, saying that his wife must be a village woman taking care of children and the elderly, and definitely not good enough for him. Now that she's not only beautiful, but also incredibly talented, those women are probably green with envy.
Back in the courtyard, Wu Qiaoqiao told the two to sit and eat. Nie Ying and Aunt Zhou, seeing that they weren't allowed to help, refused to sit there. They had come to help, so they waved to go back and come back for dinner. Wu Qiaoqiao, seeing that she couldn't persuade them, grabbed a handful of dried fruit and snacks from the basket on the stone table and stuffed them into their pockets.
The two of them left the courtyard with their bags full of food. They continued chatting after leaving the courtyard, while Wu Qiaoqiao, who was in the courtyard, heard their conversation and a playful smile appeared on her lips. She then turned around and went into the kitchen to get busy preparing. After all, it was getting late, and if she didn't get things ready soon, the guests would arrive before the food was ready.
