Jiang Yue tried to lift it twice, but just when she lifted it up a little bit, she put it down again.
This basket must weigh more than ten pounds. Even if she could lift it, she wouldn't be able to walk such a long way back to the military family compound.
Just when Jiang Yue was worried, she heard someone talking to her.
"Are you from Captain Gu's family?"
Jiang Yue looked up and saw a middle-aged woman in her forties who was dressed simply. She was wearing a white shirt with red flowers, a pair of blue cloth pants, and had short hair that reached her ears. She looked very neat.
"Oh, it's true! I saw it from a distance, but I didn't dare to recognize it!" The woman laughed, "Are you here to buy vegetables?"
Jiang Yue searched in his memory, but had no impression of the woman. His original body rarely interacted with people in the family compound, so Jiang Yue hardly recognized anyone except a few people he had interacted with.
"Captain Gu's family actually came to buy groceries in person? That's really strange!"
Just when Jiang Yue was hesitating, another person came up from behind the woman. He looked younger, had the most popular "Ke Xiang hairstyle" and was also wearing "Dacron".
However, the woman's attitude was not as friendly as the previous sister-in-law. Hearing the irony of this, Jiang Yue couldn't help but wonder if the original body had offended her in the past?
Seeing that Jiang Yue didn't say anything, the young woman snorted coldly, "Sister-in-law, I'll tell you, she doesn't even recognize us, so we shouldn't bother trying to please her! Don't let her say that we took advantage of her!"
After hearing this, Jiang Yue knew in his heart that it was most likely someone that his original body had offended.
"Xiao Lian, don't say that about Captain Gu's family!" The woman was not angry, but smiled and said, "My husband's surname is Zhao, you can call me Sister Zhao or Sister-in-law Zhao!"
Jiang Yue remembered that Gu Ye had borrowed eggs from Captain Zhao's house that morning. She thought that Gu Ye and Captain Zhao must have a good relationship, so she smiled immediately, "Ah, look at my memory! Hello, Sister Zhao! Gu Ye borrowed two eggs from your house this morning, and I came here to buy them. I was planning to deliver them to you when I get back!"
Mrs. Zhao smiled innocently, "Oh, it's just two eggs for Ningning, why give it back? You are too polite, Captain Gu's family!"
"You have to pay it back!" Jiang Yue could see that Sister Zhao was not just being polite, she was a sincere person!
"Sister-in-law, just call me Jiang Yue." Jiang Yue felt a little awkward when she heard Sister-in-law Zhao calling her Captain Gu's family.
"Oh, okay!" Mrs. Zhao was still smiling, but Lian Rongrong looked at Jiang Yue with strange eyes.
"Sister-in-law, do you know where I can call a taxi?" Jiang Yue was just worrying about her luggage being too heavy to go back, and then she ran into an acquaintance.
"Call a taxi? Can't you carry the stuff?" Sister Zhao was very enthusiastic and immediately said, "It's no big deal. Sister-in-law will help you carry it!"
Seeing Sister Zhao rolling up her sleeves, Jiang Yue hurriedly tried to stop her, "Sister-in-law, no need, it's too heavy!"
Before Jiang Yue finished speaking, Sister Zhao had already picked up the basket and asked Jiang Yue in confusion, "It's not heavy! Do you have another basket? Where is it? Sister-in-law will carry it back for you!"
Jiang Yue: "...No, no more, just one!"
It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others. Gu Ye is a man, so it's OK that he's strong. But how can Zhao's sister-in-law be so strong even though she looks skinny and small? Lifting a basket weighing more than 10 or 20 kilograms is like lifting a chicken.
"No more? Then let's go!" Mrs. Zhao turned around, put on her vegetable basket, and strode forward.
Jiang Yue hurriedly followed.
"Jiang Yue, what's wrong with your head? Are you hurt?" Lian Rongrong and Jiang Yue were walking side by side. She had noticed the gauze on Jiang Yue's head a long time ago and was eager to ask.
"Well, I bumped into it accidentally." Jiang Yue answered lightly.
"How did you get hit there?" Lian Rongrong's eyes flickered. "Could it be that someone hit you?"
Jiang Yue asked back: "What evidence do you have to prove that the wound on my head was caused by someone beating me?"
Lian Rongrong's mouth twitched. She was just asking casually, where is the evidence?
A few days ago, there were rumors in the family compound that Jiang Yue had run away with someone, and the rumors sounded very convincing. In addition, the day before yesterday, Gu Ye took a special leave to go to the provincial capital to bring back Jiang Yue, which further confirmed the rumor that Gu Ye went to catch someone cheating.
Li Hongying said yesterday that when she went to clean the house, she saw Jiang Yue's face was pale. She was still sleeping in the middle of the day and was staggering when she stood there. There was gauze on her forehead with blood on it. Everyone was guessing that Jiang Yue had run away with a strange man, and Gu Ye caught her in the act and couldn't get over it, so he beat Jiang Yue.
"I already said I bumped into it accidentally!" Jiang Yue's expression was serious. "Don't make groundless assumptions when there's no evidence!"
Lian Rongrong: “…” Why are you teaching her a lesson?
Mrs. Zhao was walking in front. When she heard what the two said, she turned around and said, "Jiang Yue is right. Don't make groundless accusations when there is no evidence! Besides, Captain Gu is not the kind of person who would hit a woman!"
Jiang Yue nodded. It seemed that Gu Ye was indeed a good person to be recognized by Mrs. Zhao.
But why did Zhao's sister-in-law suddenly mention that Gu Ye would not hit a woman? Did the people in the family compound think that she was beaten by Gu Ye?
Lian Rongrong tucked her hair behind her ears awkwardly, "I was just saying that! Jiang Yue, don't take it seriously!"
Jiang Yue didn't think that Lian Rongrong was just talking casually. Since she was asked about it, it meant that it was definitely not groundless.
"Hey, sister-in-law, look at that person over there, is she Li Hongying?" Lian Rongrong was sharp-eyed and immediately pointed it out to Sister-in-law Zhao and Jiang Yue.
Mrs. Zhao looked carefully and saw that it was Li Hongying.
"Where? Where?" Although Jiang Yue recognized Li Hongying, she couldn't recognize Li Hongying's back at such a long distance.
"Over there, the one wearing the red plaid shirt!" Lian Rongrong pointed to Jiang Yue and said with a gloating look, "I saw Li Hongying picking up rotten vegetable leaves again. She'll probably go buy some pork neck meat later. Jiang Yue, who do you think she's feeding them to?"
Jiang Yue frowned. Li Hongying came to cook for her every day at noon. Who could she feed the rotten vegetable leaves and pork neck meat she picked up?
Lian Rongrong continued, "Pigs don't even eat rotten vegetable leaves! The neck meat is full of lymph nodes. Only Li Hongying would buy it. But I heard that Li Hongying's family only eats pork front leg meat! Tsk tsk!"
"Xiao Lian, say less!" Seeing that Jiang Yue's face was stiff, Mrs. Zhao quickly scolded Lian Rongrong.
Seeing Jiang Yue didn't say anything, Lian Rongrong was even happier, "Sister-in-law, I'm doing a good deed! Don't you also dislike what Li Hongying did?"
Mrs. Zhao stared coldly at Li Hongying's sneaky back and asked Jiang Yue: "Didn't you tell Li Hongying that you were going to buy vegetables by yourself today?"
After Jiang Yue heard Lian Rongrong say that Li Hongying had been feeding her original self rotten vegetable leaves and neck meat, she did feel a physical nausea. However, she recalled that her original self had a small appetite and was a picky eater. The dishes Li Hongying cooked were terrible, and she had always disliked them, otherwise she wouldn't have been so thin.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue felt much better both physically and mentally.
But this Li Hongying is really too despicable, we have to find a way to deal with her!
