Captain Jiang secretly gives Bai Hongmei a subsidy of 10 yuan every month?
Every month?
Qiao Baozhu thought she had heard wrongly.
"Where does he get the money? Sister Wu said that Captain Jiang gave her every cent of his salary, and he hardly spent any money since he didn't smoke or drink. Where does he get 10 yuan every month? Does he borrow money?"
Zhang Cuilian rolled her eyes in annoyance and muttered angrily, "It's the food allowance."
"He said he ate in the company cafeteria every day, but he was actually hiding in the barracks eating steamed bread. Of the 14 yuan food allowance, 10 yuan was used to support Bai Hongmei, and the remaining 4 yuan was enough to eat steamed bread alone."
Speaking of this, Zhang Cuilian slammed the table in anger.
"Wu Meili tightened her belt to save a few cents and was reluctant to even make a new pair of cotton trousers. In order to buy a cotton jacket for her child, she worked day and night to sew shoe soles. Wu Meili's fingers were almost pierced."
"Jiang Sen saw it but pretended not to see it. He would rather give 10 yuan a month to outsiders than leave it for his wife. If I wasn't afraid that Wu Meili would get angry, I would have told her a long time ago. It really pissed me off."
Zhang Cuilian felt sorry for Wu Meili and her voice choked up at the end of her words.
The person Qiao Baozhu interacts with the most in this residential compound is Wu Meili. Wu Meili is taller than the average man, and she doesn't feel tired when she works because of her good physique.
After Captain Jiang returned home, he never did any housework, be it fetching water, chopping wood, plowing the land, or building a house. The family members always joked that Jiang Sen married Wu Meili.
After Wu Meili married Jiang Sen, she worked like a donkey in the production team, and went home to give birth to babies like a rabbit. I almost pierced my fingers to earn a dollar. And her husband secretly gave 10 yuan to another woman every month.
Not to mention as a friend, even if it was just a stranger, Qiao Baozhu would feel uncomfortable.
"If Instructor Duan hadn't revealed it, who knows how long this matter would have been kept secret."
Qiao Baozhu looked at Zhang Cuilian with disappointment in her eyes, "Coach Duan must have told you because he couldn't stand it anymore."
Zhang Cuilian had a cold expression on her face and snorted with disdain.
"I discovered it myself. Recently, I noticed that the pickles at home were always eaten very quickly. I thought that mice had eaten them. So I covered the pickle jar with a big stone! Hey~ Even though I covered it with a big stone, the pickles were still lost."
"If it wasn't eaten by mice, then there must be a thief in the family. I thought it was my bad boy who did it, and I wanted to catch him red-handed. Unexpectedly, the thief I caught was actually Old Duan. Old Duan said that the pickles were for Captain Jiang, but I didn't believe it at all. The pickles pickled by Wu Meili are the best in the family compound. Captain Jiang has a sore on his tongue, and he won't eat the good pickles at home, but the hairy and moldy ones I pickled."
Instructor Duan couldn't hide the secret from his wife, so he had to tell the truth. It was said that Captain Jiang secretly subsidized Bai Hongmei ten yuan every month, and he himself only drank hot water and ate steamed bread for three meals a day. I would eat a two-grain steamed bun every now and then to treat myself.
Zhang Cuilian became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She was not only angry at Captain Jiang, but she also hated her man's attitude at that time.
"You said that we have already uncovered Bai Hongmei's true identity, so why do these people still believe her? How can they still feel pity for her?"
Men all like to pity the poor and the weak, especially when the other person is a beautiful widow.
More than half of the family members in the family compound are rural women. In the countryside, they take care of their parents-in-law, raise their children, and work in the fields to earn work points, working hard and never slacking off for a moment.
Years of outdoor work have made their skin darker, older, and their wrinkles deeper and longer.
Bai Hongmei was a telephone operator at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau. In that era, being one of the eight top officials was a very popular job. Especially the operators in the post and telecommunications bureau, who not only need to have a diploma but also need to be young and beautiful.
Bai Hongmei feels particularly superior in front of Wu Meili, Li Yan and other rural family members because her job is particularly respectable.
Jiang Sen was small and dark, and he married a child bride who was five years older than him.
Not only does Jiang Sen have no sense of existence in front of his wife, he also has little say in the entire Jiang family.
Because Wu Meili was the child bride of the Jiang family, she not only raised Jiang Sen, but also raised Jiang Sen's younger brothers and sisters. In the Jiang family, Wu Meili's status is more prestigious than that of the eldest son Jiang Sen.
The man who had been guarding the tigress all day was suddenly entangled by the enchanting white fox. The delicate white fox praised him, admired him, and needed him, so Jiang Sen was really attracted to her.
"Sister Wu is very kind to me. Now that I know about this, I will not ignore it. I will handle this matter and make Bai Hongmei return the money."
Qiao Baozhu looked unhappy and decided to get the money back for Wu Meili.
"If you had this temper earlier, Li Yan wouldn't dare to ask you for rent."
Seeing that Qiao Baozhu was getting a little angry, Zhang Cuilian couldn't help but complain. It's not that she wanted to sow discord between Qiao Baozhu and Li Yan, but she really couldn't stand what the couple did.
"That was Shen Xiao's own money, not our shared property after marriage. Since he wants to repay his kindness, I can't stop him. But Bai Hongmei should never, ever reach out to Wu Meili."
"If she dares to bully my friend, I will make her know how to write the word regret."
Zhang Cuilian's heart trembled when she saw the fierce look in Qiao Baozhu's eyes. I felt a little regretful that I shouldn't have said too much, and at the same time, a strange feeling surged in my heart.
When her friend was bullied, Qiao Baozhu became angry and decided to retaliate.
But her husband was being plotted against, so why didn't she react at all?
