Volume 1 Chapter 155 Discussions of Military Wives
On the way to the mountain, they passed a river. The military wives who were washing clothes by the river saw her and immediately started discussing.
"Look, isn't that Captain Gu?"
"Is that his new wife behind him?"
When everyone heard the voice of one of the military wives, they immediately looked over.
"It's Captain Gu!!!"
"Oh my God! Captain Gu's wife is so pretty, isn't she?"
"No wonder Captain Gu is so anxious to get married. How can he not be anxious when he has such a good wife waiting for him at home?"
"Bah! Vixen."
"With a good-looking appearance, he seduces people everywhere."
"If I were this pretty, I'd be willing to be a vixen!"
you do not say……
Everyone was talking about it, some were curious, some were envious, and some were jealous.
Although Captain Gu is cold and looks like he doesn't want anyone to approach him, he has a high position, a high salary, and a good family background!
Who doesn’t want to marry their daughter or relatives to someone else?
If I marry Captain Gu, how can my family get any less benefits?
Now Captain Gu has been seduced by a vixen.
If they had known that Captain Gu was so easy to win over, they would have let their daughters take more initiative. Who knows, there might have been a good result?
But it's too late to say anything now. This is a military marriage and it cannot be destroyed.
"Captain Gu, is this your new wife?"
Gu Tingxiao nodded and responded to the gossiping military wives.
"Oh, look at how pretty Captain Gu's wife is."
"That's right, move around more often in the future!"
"My home is on the second floor of the tube building. Come visit me when you have time."
Sheng Wanyan smiled and nodded, greeting them.
She knew in her heart that part of the reason they were so enthusiastic about her was because of Gu Tingxiao's position.
The 27-year-old deputy head of the group has a bright future and no one wants to offend him.
"Thank you, sisters-in-law. I'm a little rushed as I just arrived. I'll treat everyone to wedding candy tomorrow."
Sheng Wanyan had nothing in her hands, so they would definitely invite people from the family compound to share in the good fortune during their wedding.
"Then we'll all be waiting."
"Where is Captain Gu's wife from?"
"From Chengdu."
"Are you from the city?"
Sheng Wanyan nodded. When everyone heard that she was from the city, the way they looked at her changed instantly.
There are also a few military wives from the city living in the family compound. They are very arrogant and look down on those from the countryside.
She keeps saying that she is a city person, and always feels that these military wives from the villages are not classy enough.
They all look down on others and look down on those who come from the country.
When he heard that Sheng Wanyan was also a city dweller, his favorability towards her dropped instantly.
"Hehe... city people."
The military wives looked at each other, and no one knew what they were thinking. Sheng Wanyan just smiled gently the whole time.
"Are you going to the mountain?"
"yes."
Sheng Wanyan nodded in response, and everyone felt embarrassed to disturb them.
"Then let's get on with the laundry."
"It's better to go up the mountain early. It's dangerous after dark."
Sheng Wanyan smiled and nodded in agreement. She also felt that since she said she was from the city, the military wives who were washing clothes here seemed to be somewhat excluded.
But it doesn't matter to her, she is not a person who likes to make friends.
She came here to live her own life, not to have relationships with the military wives.
Just do your own thing.
Even if others don’t like city people, I won’t choose to please them for fear of being excluded.
She still focuses on how to make money and take care of her family.
As for currying favor, she has no interest in that. On the contrary, she prefers others not to bother her.
Sheng Wanyan followed Gu Tingxiao up the mountain. When everyone saw them walking away, they started talking.
"Another one from the city has come, one more person is looking down on us~"
"Isn't it? Look at her shoes. What style are they? They must be expensive, right?"
Everyone looked over and said they had never seen these shoes before and they looked pretty good.
"Those are sneakers, only available in overseas Chinese stores in Kyoto."
"How do you know?"
The military wife who recognized the shoes raised her chin and said, "My husband's brother-in-law's cousin has them. I heard my sister-in-law often talk about them at home."
"Oh my god! A Chinese store, how much does that cost?"
"At least not less than this number."
The military wife who was speaking stretched out two fingers, and everyone was shocked when they saw it.
"A pair of shoes costs 2 yuan. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others."
"Yes, two dollars is enough for my food for a month."
The military wife who recognized the shoes rolled her eyes. She could not even buy a sole with 2 yuan, and she could buy things from the Overseas Chinese Store. It was simply a dream.
"What two dollars? It's 20 dollars!"
hiss! ! !
Everyone took a deep breath, oh my god!
20 yuan is enough for their whole family’s living expenses for two months. Just a pair of shoes costs 20 yuan. How can they live?
Captain Gu doesn't love his wife this much!
Wouldn’t it be better to use 20 yuan to buy food?
He chose to use the money to buy shoes for a woman. I really don't know what he was thinking.
If they had known that Captain Gu's family was so wealthy, they would have married their daughters to him.
It was supposed to be a matter of those who were closest to the water getting the moon first, but in the end an outsider snatched it away first.
The military wives all sighed in their hearts, wondering why they are all women but have such different fates.
"We're newlyweds now, who knows if it will change in the future."
A sour military wife said something, and everyone heard it and thought it made sense.
Like when they first got married, their men were also very generous to them.
But after a long time, even if I spent a dollar to buy myself a piece of clothing, I would be questioned.
Who knows if Captain Gu will be like this in the future?
The newlyweds are very sweet, but after a long time, you can tell whether the person is a human or a ghost.
———
Sheng Wanyan followed Gu Tingxiao up the mountain. When they passed by the tool shed at the foot of the mountain, Gu Tingxiao went to get a machete.
This tool room is used by the troops to organize everyone to go up the mountain for training.
When you go to exercise in the mountains you always have to bring some tools, or anything you can bring home that you can use.
Gu Tingxiao found a stone for her to sit on and rest.
He was waving a machete at the side, cutting down the bamboos one by one.
Their family needed a lot of bamboo, but Gu Tingxiao was very strong. He just waved his arms a few times and a bamboo fell down.
Gu Tingxiao cut 50 bamboos in the whole morning. It took a lot of bamboos just to enclose the kitchen, not to mention the corridor and storage rack.
Sheng Wanyan came to the mountains with a purpose, which was to catch some prey and bring them back.
The supply and marketing cooperative is too far from here. It would take two hours to walk there, and her bicycle has not yet arrived. If she had a bicycle, she could get there in more than half an hour.
