Wen Qiaoling didn't care what they were saying. She just waited for Ye Zhaozhao to take out the item. When she saw that it was a bottle of sauce, Wen Qiaoling asked.
"Zhaozhao, may I have something to eat?"
"Okay, you can eat it."
These are pickled radishes that Ye Zhaozhao made herself; she brought them to eat with her meals.
After pouring a little, Wen Qiaoling gave it back to Ye Zhaozhao, and ate it plain without taking anything else.
"Zhaozhao, this is so delicious! Can I buy some of these radishes from you?"
"It's free, I'll bring you some next time."
Ye Zhaozhao said directly, seeing that she liked to eat it, she gave her the bottle in her hand.
She brought three bottles, and Wen Qiaoling let the others try them too.
The others only took a bite, not wanting to take it from her, the pregnant woman.
“Zhaozhao, my mother-in-law has moved back, and she won’t let me keep the house.”
Liu Xiujuan looked radiant today, clearly having reconciled with her man.
Ye Zhaozhao was happy for her too. It wasn't easy for the two of them to get together, and it wasn't easy to run a family either.
"It's really not worth getting a divorce over something like this," Xue Fangfei thought after they finished talking.
To thank Ye Zhaozhao for the translation, I gave her some toys to take back for her children to play with.
She bought all these toys herself, and even Liu Xiujuan got a share. She took the toy car and asked a question out of curiosity.
Why did you buy so many toys?
Xue Fangfei bought it partly to thank Ye Zhaozhao, and partly for her younger brother. Everyone was stunned.
"Aren't you your father's only daughter?"
"Yes, but I have a younger brother."
Then Xue Fangfei said that these younger brothers were all born to her father's other women.
Everyone was shocked, even Ye Zhaozhao was surprised.
Despite Director Xue's serious demeanor, Liu Xiujuan asked him another question.
"Doesn't your mother know?"
"I know, she thinks it's her fault for not being able to have a son, not my dad's."
Is this even possible? Xue Fangfei had already gotten used to it.
She gets along well with her younger brothers, and her father treats her well too.
Ye Zhaozhao said she couldn't understand, but it was someone else's life.
When Ye Zhaozhao went to class, Teacher Xu approached her and told her that there would be an English proficiency test next week, and asked Ye Zhaozhao to prepare in advance.
The exam consists of four parts: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Ye Zhaozhao was very confident, while Jiang Tong looked worried when get out of class ended.
Liang Fu came over and asked her if she could study with her, because Ye Zhaozhao's spoken English was the most standard.
Ye Zhaozhao figured Jiang Tong would be coming along anyway, so she nodded in agreement.
After chatting for a few minutes, Ye Zhaozhao learned that he was no longer working as a tutor.
Ye Zhaozhao was also curious, since the tutoring job paid well and was easy, why did Liang Fu just decide not to go?
"Zhaozhao, I heard from my classmates that it's because of that lady of the house?"
"What's wrong with the lady of the house?"
Ye Zhaozhao learned about the incident from Jiang Tong. It turned out that the mistress of the house had taken a liking to Liang Fu because he was a college student and quite good-looking.
She offered to pay for Liang Fu's schooling, but after he refused several times, Liang Fu stopped going.
Ye Zhaozhao hadn't expected it to be like this; there really are all kinds of people in the world.
Ye Zhaozhao had been studying with Jiang Tong and Liang Fu for the entire week, and now it was the weekend.
Thinking of the pickled radishes he promised to bring to Wen Qiaoling, he planned to return to the military region.
"I'm not going back. Yunzheng said he'll come over tonight."
Jiang Tong and Gu Yunzheng have been married for some time now. At first, they treated each other with respect, but recently, they've noticed something different.
"Okay, I'm leaving then."
Ye Zhaozhao returned to the military region by car, and Sun Xiuhua came over.
"Zhaozhao, you're back just in time."
"Sister-in-law Sun, what's wrong?"
"Well, the military branch served vegetables this afternoon, and I was thinking of taking your share."
The military region has land where the military spouses used to fertilize and water the plants, and now they're ripe.
The military region organized everyone to distribute the food, and Ye Zhaozhao thought she had really made it in time.
In the afternoon, Sun Xiuhua and Ye Zhaozhao set off with their baskets on their backs.
When they arrived, Jin Mandong and Qi Hongmei were already there; they were the most enthusiastic people in the entire residential compound.
Zhu Cui saw them and waved for them to come over; Qin Xuehua was standing in front of them.
Upon seeing the two people, Qin Xuehua did not wear a smile as usual.
Sun Xiuhua didn't speak, but whispered to Ye Zhaozhao.
"Zhaozhao, Qin Xuehua and her husband went to the hospital for a checkup, and guess what?"
"Sister-in-law Sun, please tell me quickly."
"The doctor said that Qin Xuehua is the one who cannot have children."
Ye Zhaozhao realized that Qin Xuehua was completely different from her previous enthusiastic self. Ye Zhaozhao tugged at Sun Xiuhua, signaling her to stay away from her.
"Zhu Cui, is your factory closed today?"
Bored while waiting in line, Sun Xiuhua chatted with Zhu Cui, who had taken leave specifically to come back for the purpose of serving food.
After all, this is only done once a year. As they were chatting, they heard Qi Hongmei arguing with the soldier who was distributing the food.
"Comrade, could you give me another bag of potatoes?"
Qi Hongmei stared longingly at the small bag of potatoes, but the soldier hesitated and refused.
"No, sister-in-law, each household has a fixed amount of these dishes. If we give you more, the others won't have any."
Even though the soldiers said so, Qi Hongmei still couldn't bear to give up, and the people behind her started talking about it.
"What's wrong with Qi Hongmei? It's just a small bag of potatoes, why is she making such a fuss?"
Since they are all military wives, they usually consider their husbands' pride. At this time, someone in the know said something.
"Let alone potatoes, Qi Hongmei's family is almost starving."
