"Qiao Baozhu, Captain Shen... isn't that her?!"
Xie Huihua didn't expect that Qiao Xifeng was talking about Qiao Baozhu, who was very popular in the family compound. I didn't expect that Qiao Xifeng, the younger sister of Qiao Baozhu, would wear such plain clothes...
"Ah, you are Captain Shen's sister-in-law."
Xie Huihua looked Qiao Xifeng up and down, frowning with a puzzled expression: "It's said in our family compound that Captain Shen's family is very rich, and the dowry is filled with several carriages."
She could not hide the contempt in her eyes, and her tone was somewhat inquiring. I strongly suspect that the sister that Qiao Xifeng was talking about is not the same person as the Qiao Baozhu she knows.
"What dowry?"
Qiao Xifeng covered her mouth and laughed: "That's because my sister wanted to save face, so she insisted on saying that the betrothal gift was a dowry. Our family has been poor farmers for eight generations, and it's only in the past two years that we have enough food to eat."
"My brother-in-law is the son of a high-ranking official, and his family is well-off. Compared with his family's wealth, this little gift is a drop in the bucket."
Xie Huihua was shocked: "Ah? Captain Shen is the son of a high-ranking official?"
Qiao Xifeng hushed at Xie Huihua impatiently.
She looked around nervously, making sure no one was looking at them, then she lowered her voice and said, "Speak softly, don't let anyone hear."
"Not many people outside know about this, and no one in your family compound knows about this either. My brother-in-law doesn't allow us to tell anyone outside. I'm telling you this because I don't consider Sister Xie an outsider. Sister Xie, you must not tell anyone."
Seeing Qiao Xifeng's serious expression, Xie Huihua realized that what this girl said was true.
He nodded repeatedly like pounding garlic: "I won't tell anyone. I promise not to tell anyone else."
After that, he couldn't help but inquire about Shen Xiao's family background: "I also heard that Captain Shen's family background is not low, and his family members are quite capable. Otherwise, how could he become a battalion commander at such a young age."
In fact, these days there are many young people who serve as battalion commanders or regiment commanders. As long as they have fought in battles on the border and shed blood, and have military merits and abilities, their rank will not be low when they come to the Corps.
Besides, Shen Xiao was seconded here and would return to his original unit soon. It’s just that ordinary people don’t know this.
Qiao Xifeng knew that Bai Hongmei still had evil intentions towards Chen Xiao, and she wanted to cling to Chen Xiao's thighs for her entire life.
When the news of the Corps' reorganization spread, there was crying in the family compound. Bai Hongmei learned that Shen Xiao was punished and had to change his job to become a farmer locally, so she immediately left her child behind and returned to the city.
Qiao Xifeng didn't know what she was doing specifically, but based on years of experience fighting, Bai Hongmei should have gone back to the city to find her old lover.
Given Shen Xiao's family background, it's impossible for him to become a farm worker like ordinary people. He joined the farm and became a cadre, and it seemed that he was living a better life than before.
Qiao Xifeng thought that she could finally live a normal life and be proud of herself. Unexpectedly, Bai Hongmei came back shamelessly and coaxed Shen Xiao to help her arrange a job.
Relying on the fact that she had read a few pages of books and could speak a few nice words, Bai Hongmei made herself look like a fool and a shrew.
Qiao Xifeng thought, if Bai Hongmei in this life had known earlier that Shen Xiao had a good family background.
He would definitely cling to Qiao Baozhu like a hungry dog hunting for prey. If she can't deal with Bai Hongmei, then that idiot Qiao Baozhu certainly can't do it either.
Thinking of Bai Hongmei's various tricks, Qiao Xifeng excitedly pulled Xie Huihua's hand.
"Sister Xie, you must not tell anyone what I told you. My sister has suffered so many offenses since she was a child, and she only started to enjoy happiness after marrying my brother-in-law. Our whole family hopes that my sister and brother-in-law will live happily together until old age, so that we can also benefit from it."
"What if some evil spirit knew that my brother-in-law's family was well-off and shamelessly tried to sabotage it? I heard that several pairs of educated youth on the farm got divorced. Oh, it's too scary."
Xie Huihua nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped and never say anything."
She was dealing with Qiao Xifeng verbally, but she was extremely happy in her heart.
I'm so lucky today. I don't know where this stupid guy came from, but he came to her and said a lot of things.
Later, she told Hongmei that Shen Xiao was the son of a high-ranking official, and she could get another two dollars from her.
Wow, I’m so lucky today.
