Chapter 75 Asking for Trouble

Everyone looked at Liu Hong with strange eyes.

Those looks were as if they were looking at a schizophrenic person.

Liu Hong almost couldn't keep the smile on her face.

But there were too many people present, and some were still willing to give Liu Hong some face. After all, she was the wife of the second-in-command of the island troops.

"We were looking at Mrs. Su's chrysanthemums. She was kind and gave each of us some seeds."

As she spoke, she showed the Chinese spinach and lettuce seeds she had obtained.

The plump rapeseed seeds are so attractive that one can’t help but fall in love with them at first sight.

Liu Hong looked at the rapeseed in her hand and could hardly take her eyes away.

This is Chinese chrysanthemum, her favorite vegetable.

"This is a really good choice of seeds." Liu Hong exaggerated awkwardly, looking at Su Ranran intentionally or unintentionally.

But Su Ranran didn't even look at her, but continued to distribute rapeseed to people.

The seeds were released little by little, and Liu Hong's eyes almost popped out.

His eyes were fixed on Su Ranran, hoping that she could recognize him by herself and give her some seeds.

But Su Ranran seemed not to see her. She was only focused on delivering seeds to the person in front of her and had no intention of walking towards her.

Zhou Huaqin, who came with Liu Hong, suddenly couldn't stand it anymore.

She and Liu Hong were both excluded from the family compound, and since they were both from the city, they naturally came together.

Now seeing that Su Ranran only gave rapeseed to others and had no intention of giving any to them, she couldn't help but say something sour.

"Some people just love to show off, as if they are afraid that others don't know they have it."

The voice was neither loud nor soft, and all the military wives present heard it.

The people who were happily receiving the rapeseed suddenly became silent.

Liu Hong was almost moved to tears by Zhou Huaqin's stupidity. Just as she was about to move aside and pretend that she was not familiar with her, she heard Zhong Juhua's ambiguous reply.

"You need talent to show off. I would like to show off, but unfortunately I don't have any chrysanthemums in my field."

Upon hearing this, other military wives who had received rapeseed also echoed the sentiment.

"Mrs. Su is kind-hearted and willing to share rapeseed with us. Soon we will be able to eat chrysanthemum."

Cao Yuhong shook the rapeseed she had just obtained in her hand and said happily.

She is the wife of the commander of the third company of the third battalion. She has been with the army for a long time and knows very well the shortage of vegetables on the island.

Now that she had obtained some rapeseed, she was so excited that she wanted to show it off everywhere.

Looking at the rapeseed in her hand, Zhou Huaqin's eyes widened.

But she couldn't swallow her pride and ask Su Ranran for it.

She gritted her teeth, looked away, and continued sarcastically: "Look at how you are, a little bit of rapeseed is worth being so happy about."

Liu Hong had silently distanced herself from her by two steps.

She really wanted the chrysanthemum seeds. She hadn't eaten them since she joined the army. Now when she saw the chrysanthemum seeds, she wanted to grab them and swallow them.

But in the eyes of others, they are a group, even if they are only two steps apart.

Cao Yuhong became unhappy when she heard that the rapeseed she had just obtained was being discounted.

"We wouldn't be so happy with ordinary rapeseed, but this is Chinese chrysanthemum, a plant that can be grown. Have you seen it on the island?"

She now wished she could plant the Chinese spinach immediately so that it would dazzle their eyes.

"Yuhong, stop talking. People in the city have seen all kinds of vegetables. They definitely don't like this little chrysanthemum. Let's plant it quickly. Maybe it will grow in a few days."

The person next to her pulled her hand and advised her.

When Cao Yuhong heard that Chinese spinach would grow in a few days, she no longer cared about showing off and turned around to grow vegetables with others.

Other military wives had already started planting. Although the land was only the size of a palm, there was still enough space in the corners to plant a rapeseed.

While planting, they would ask Su Ranran from time to time, fearing that they were planting incorrectly and the seeds would not germinate well.

Su Ranran, who was always surrounded, had no time to pay attention to Zhou Huaqin.

While delivering rapeseed, she also guided them on how to grow Chinese cabbage.

Everyone was busy, and Zhou Huaqin and Liu Hong were left aside.

Zhou Huaqin's face became even uglier as she had asked for trouble.

Liu Hong is not much better than her.

Originally she came for the Chinese spinach seeds, and she humbled herself to greet them.

Who knew that not only did he fail to get the seeds, but he also offended people all over the place.

She is extremely regretful now. Why did she come out with such an idiot like Zhou Huaqin?

But no one cared about their expressions. Everyone was happily planting chrysanthemums, looking forward to eating fresh chrysanthemums in the near future.

The two people who were ignored finally walked towards their vegetable garden in silence.

In the vegetable garden, they grow green vegetables that they can only eat a few leaves every few days. But even these green vegetables are all they have.

It would be a lie to say that I am not jealous of those who get the chrysanthemum seeds.

Especially Liu Hong, whose land was next to Su Ranran's. She could see those rows of drooling Chinese spinach as soon as she looked up, and her saliva immediately flowed out uncontrollably.

Su Ranran had already noticed Liu Hong's gaze, but she pretended not to see it.

If someone throws mud at her, should she switch sides and continue throwing it at her?

Although Liu Hong was angry and ran away from the banquet at that time, Su Ranran did not forget the bill.

By the time everyone's rapeseed had been planted, the sun was about to set.

Without waiting for long, the group walked back to the family compound, chatting and laughing.

Behind the crowd, Liu Hong couldn't help but curse Zhou Huaqin a few times.

Although Zhou Huaqin's man is of lower rank than Liu Hong's, she has a job. How could she tolerate such humiliation?

In the end, the two of them started arguing.

Hearing the sound of the two people arguing, a group of military wives immediately pricked up their ears, and some even slowed down their pace for fear of not being able to hear clearly.

They all seem to be extremely gossipy.

Su Ranran didn't care about the quarrel behind. She greeted the military wives and quickened her pace.

Shen He should have returned from the barracks by now, and she had to go back to cook.

But when I was halfway there, I suddenly heard a group of children fighting.

"Hit her! Hit her now!"

Su Ranran looked in the direction of the sound and saw several children surrounding a little girl on the side of the road, beating her up.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing a child being bullied, Su Ranran did not stand idly by, but directly shouted!

This group of kids were probably used to it as they were often scolded. When they heard adults coming, they immediately didn't care about anything else and just ran away.

Only then did Su Ranran see the little girl who had been beaten.

Isn't he the one who took the boat with her on her first day with the army?
