Qiao Baozhu had no idea that her family had inexplicably framed her with a crime.
I picked up my bag and walked home on time at one o'clock in the afternoon. When I arrived at the door, Wu Meili and others were already waiting there.
"Sister-in-law, didn't I leave the key for you? It's so cold now, you can go inside and wait for me."
In the middle of the month, a heavy snow fell on Qingyan Mountain. At first, everyone thought it would end the next day, but no one expected that the heavy snow would last for twelve days.
Originally, these family members in the staff quarters had nothing to do at home, but the heavy snow blocked the roads and made it inconvenient for them to visit each other, so they were all stuck at home sewing shoe soles.
I have been sewing the soles day and night for more than ten days, just waiting to come to Qiao Baozhu today to deliver the goods and collect the payment.
Everyone knew that Qiao Baozhu had an easy job and could sneak home after lunch at work every day. Everyone calculated the time and stood at the door of Qiao Baozhu's house waiting for her.
Wu Meili was the first person in this group to follow Qiao Baozhu in sewing shoe soles, and she was also the first one to make money from sewing shoe soles.
Qiao Baozhu trusted her very much. Not only did she teach her wholeheartedly, she also gave her the spare key to the house.
Wu Meili was also very considerate. She would enter the house 20 minutes earlier than Qiao Baozhu every day and heat up the kang at home first.
But today is a bit special. There are too many people coming to deliver goods, and Wu Meili doesn't dare to let anyone in.
It's not that she was afraid that the family members would steal things, it's just that Qiao Baozhu's room was too exquisitely decorated. She had been here more than a dozen times, and she still felt dazzled and everything was new to her.
What if a reckless family member damaged Qiao Baozhu's things? In Shankala, even if you have money, you can't buy anything good.
So Wu Meili heated up the kang and ran out. She blocked the door of Qiao Baozhu's house and took the lead in waiting for Qiao Baozhu to get off work.
"It's sunny outside today, and there's not much wind. It won't be cold after a while."
Wu Meili, with her hair blown away, lied with her eyes open. She took the small bag from Qiao Baozhu and pushed open the door with a smile.
"You guys come in too."
Wu Meili waved to a group of family members and let them in.
The two women walking at the end saw Wu Meili, who was greeting everyone happily, come into the house and curled their lips with disdain.
Wang Guangying, with his hands on his sleeves, nudged his neighbor with his elbow and said, "Tsk, look at how proud Wu Meili is. It's as if she's the mistress of the house. She has the key to the house, but she insists on leaving us outside in the cold."
Xie Xuezhen was so cold that her upper and lower teeth were chattering. She pinched her nose and blew her snot fiercely. She stomped her feet and complained as she walked: "Who said it wasn't true? She was freezing us on purpose. Look at her pug-like expression. It makes me angry just by looking at her."
The two were not family members of the compound, but villagers who lived nearby. They heard that someone in the compound had collected good soles, so they came here to try their luck.
They arrived early and their cotton-padded jackets were thin, so they were frozen after standing at the door of Qiao Baozhu's house for a short while.
Qiao Baozhu agreed to let them go into the house first, but was rejected by Wu Meili. Both of them were very angry.
I feel that Wu Meili is just taking chicken feathers as a token of authority and is hiding her true colors but doing nothing.
The yard of Qiao Baozhu's house is quite large, but the house only has one and a half rooms.
Wang Guangying and Xie Xuezhen were the last to enter the house. The inner room was already full of people, so the two of them could only stand in line at the kitchen door and wait.
The two had seen delivery samples before. Today was the first delivery and also the first time they came to Qiao Baozhu's house.
The furnishings in the kitchen alone were enough to amaze the two of them.
"Life in the family compound is so good. The walls of this house are all painted white. The walls of our village committee are all plastered with mud. Oh my god, look at the ceiling. There are light bulbs installed in her kitchen."
"Oh my god, that's an expensive light bulb. Let me take a look, it looks like it's 40 watts."
The houses built by the army were relatively high, and Wang Guangying couldn't see clearly by looking up, so he jumped onto the stove, stood beside the stove and looked up to see the wattage of the light bulb.
"Come down quickly, what are you doing on someone else's stove?"
Xie Xuezhen didn't expect Wang Guangying to be so fierce that he would stand on someone else's stove.
"That's okay, I'll just clean it up."
Wang Guangying stretched his neck to look inside the house, making sure Qiao Baozhu hadn't noticed. He wiped the stove with the sleeve of his cotton jacket, thinking that he could get away with it.
Qiao Baozhu didn't notice this, but Wu Meili heard the noise.
She lifted the door curtain and looked outside. At this time, Wang Guangying had already jumped down from the stove and was looking at Wu Meili with an innocent face, pretending nothing had happened.
Wu Meili didn't notice anything wrong, and smiled and asked the people waiting in the kitchen: "Are you tired of waiting? I'll get you a stool to sit on for a while. There are many people here today, so you'll have to wait a little longer."
Wang Guangying said politely, "No need to get a stool, we are not tired."
Wu Meili brought a few small stools from the house, arranged for everyone to sit down, and then went back to the house to help Qiao Baozhu.
When Wang Guangying saw Wu Meili enter the room, she boasted to Xie Xuezhen with a smug look on her face: "I told you it was okay, you're the only one making a fuss."
"You should be quieter next time. Don't you notice how neat and clean this house is? The kitchen wall is not black at all, and there is not a speck of dust on the stove. Everything is neatly arranged, and you can tell at a glance that he is a clean person."
Wang Guangying disagreed, "Whose newly married daughter-in-law is so clean? When I got married, I was even neater than this."
"She hasn't had a child yet. Once she has one, she won't be clean anymore."
Speaking of children, Wang Guangying rolled his eyes and whispered, "I heard that this young wife has been married for a month? Is there any movement in her belly?"
The family member sitting in front of the two of them couldn't stand it anymore and turned around with a sharp look on his face: "Pregnant after one month of marriage? Our family compound is a clean and orderly place. There are no crooked customs."
Wang Guangying's face changed. "Who is doing this? What do you mean? What did I say?"
Xie Xuezhen was so scared that she quickly covered Wang Guangying's mouth. They were both ordinary rural women, how could they compare with military families? If you offend these women, how can you make money in the future?
"You know what you are talking about, and what you did in the house was also seen by others. If you want to make money, just stay here quietly. If you want to do something shameful, go home as soon as possible."
The person who spoke was none other than Ji Hehua, who lived in Room 47.
Wang Guangying felt that he was in the wrong, so he lowered his head and dared not say anything.
The whole house was not big, and Ji Hehua's voice was quite loud. Naturally, it attracted the attention of the people in the room, and Qiao Baozhu took the initiative to ask.
"What happened outside?"
Qiao Baozhu's words frightened Wang Guangying so much that he almost fell off his stool.
