Chapter 57 The Immortal
Under Zhao Xue's expectant gaze, Gu Xiaole spoke.
"Comrade Su, should you charge me a lower price for your makeup?"
Su Nanzhi was originally in a bad mood, but she couldn't help but laugh at what she said, despite feeling helpless.
Comrade Gu is really obsessed with money and never forgets to take advantage of others.
But she is the reincarnation of Pixiu, she only takes in and never gives out, so she will not give up the agreed money so easily.
"Comrade Gu, I told you about my life story before I put on your makeup, and you didn't raise any objections at that time."
A look of discomfort flashed across Gu Xiaole's face. She was just thinking about spending less money if possible.
It was all because of this inexplicable woman who suddenly talked about Su Nanzhi's life experience, which made her restless again.
Seeing that Gu Xiaole didn't say anything, Su Nanzhi turned and looked at Zhao Xue coldly.
"Zhao Xue, don't look down on me. When you're fifty or sixty, you'll probably be an orphan with both your parents dead. By then, you'll be a jinx, a jinx who won't die."
As soon as Su Nanzhi said this, someone laughed out loud.
"Besides, my father was a martyr who sacrificed his life to protect the country. But when you mention him, we, his family members, become the trouble you want to avoid."
Although some of the ladies in the family compound are a bit superstitious due to their age.
But most military wives are more flexible, and their husbands may also be sacrificed. Then they or their children will become the unlucky people in Zhao Xue's mouth.
Immediately, the sharp-tongued sister-in-law started to sarcastically say, "If Comrade Su is unlucky, then you, Zhao Xue, are not much better off. You are also a widow."
Zhao Xue's face turned pale instantly. In the family compound, the military wives did not ridicule Zhao Xue out of empathy, but outside the army, she usually did not show off because Zhou Qiang was an officer.
As soon as Zhou Qiang sacrificed herself, she suffered a backlash and was often ridiculed as a widow and a jinx.
Being ridiculed in public at this moment, she was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but she was unreasonable after all. Her eyes turned red instantly and she ran away.
Gu Xiaole looked at her back as she left, his face turning red with anger.
"Why is she crying? Today is my wedding day. It's really unlucky."
Seeing this, the people around her immediately came forward and whispered to comfort her, and she felt better.
Although Su Nanzhi didn't like Gu Xiaole's stinginess, Gu Xiaole was still righteous and not unreasonable.
And if it weren't for her, Zhao Xue wouldn't have done this.
Seeing this, Su Nanzhi said, "I'll give you a discount of 2 yuan."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaole was no longer angry, and the smile on her face was even brighter than when she saw Xu Hao, the bride, coming to pick her up.
Su Nanzhi: ...
***
Zhao Xueke had no one to comfort her. She left the bedroom with red eyes, and became even angrier when she saw that no one came out to comfort her.
She stamped her feet and thought of Su Nanzhi's smug face, and couldn't help cursing a few words.
"Damn Su Nanzhi."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Zhao Xue, what are you mumbling about?"
Zhao Xue was startled and turned around to see an old lady with curly hair.
The curly-haired lady was startled by her sudden look and rolled her eyes at her. "Pour some tea for everyone later, and then come help in the kitchen."
After saying this, the curly-haired lady stuffed a small can of tea into her hands and hurried towards the kitchen.
Zhao Xue opened the jar and took a look, and an expression of disgust immediately appeared on her face.
It’s not even as good as the tea her father drinks, and I don’t know how old it is.
My son is still so stingy when it comes to his wedding. Aren’t you afraid that he will get sick from drinking too much?
Zhao Xue paused and slowly turned her head to look at the room not far away where laughter and joy were heard.
Drinking makes you sick...
But if someone finds out...
When she hesitated, she met Su Nanzhi's indifferent gaze, as if she was looking at an insignificant person.
Zhao Xue's rationality disappeared in an instant. Why did Su Nanzhi look down on her?
She turned around with the tea can and walked towards the corner where the thermos was.
Su Nanzhi withdrew her gaze and frowned slightly.
"Xiao Su, don't take what Zhao Xue said just now to heart." An older sister-in-law saw Su Nanzhi's expression and thought that what Zhao Xue said just now had an impact on her, so she immediately spoke to comfort her.
Su Nanzhi smiled helplessly, "I just don't understand. I've already canceled my engagement with Qin Lie, so why won't Zhao Xue let me go?"
The news of canceling the engagement once again caused discussion among everyone in the room.
Gu Xiaole didn't think it was unlucky. She didn't expect that her man's boss was actually Su Nanzhi's fiancé, and that the weird female comrade just now was related to Qin Lie.
She felt like a badger in a melon field, with endless melons to eat.
"I didn't expect Deputy Battalion Commander Qin to be such a person!"
The people around immediately told Gu Xiaole about the love-hate relationship between Qin Lie, Zhao Xue and Su Nanzhi.
Su Nanzhi, who was compared to Xue Baochai:...Aunties and sisters-in-law, I still underestimated your imagination.
Although I don’t think I’m that miserable yet, my pitiful character remains unchanged.
Su Nanzhi had a smile on her face throughout the whole process. The more people sympathized with her, the more people scolded Qin Lie and Zhao Xue.
***
Qin Lie, who was pushed to Xu Hao's house by a soldier, sneezed violently several times.
The soldier behind him immediately asked with concern: "Deputy Battalion Commander Qin, do you want me to go back and get you some clothes?"
Qin Lie looked at the sun in the sky, a little impatient, "Why wear such thick clothes in this weather?"
The soldier curled his lips. If it was another leader who sneezed, he certainly wouldn't ask him to put on more clothes.
After all, he is in good health.
Qin Lie, on the other hand, looked sloppy, smelled bad, and had a very haggard face. In addition, he was sitting in a wheelchair. If Qin Lie said he was a soldier, no one would believe him.
Qin Lie didn't know what Xiaobing was thinking. When he thought about the purpose of attending Xu Hao's wedding, his face was full of discomfort.
The moment the soldier pushed Qin Lie into the yard, the noisy voices in the yard suddenly quieted down.
Qin Lie was a little confused, but he still maintained his deputy battalion commander's airs and nodded slightly to some of the military wives.
Some soldiers of lower ranks than him also saluted him respectfully.
Qin Lie felt smug and signaled the soldier to push him into the group of people with higher ranks than him.
Although Xu Hao is only a platoon leader, he is capable and generous. He is popular in the army, and many superiors gave him face and attended his wedding.
Qin Lie, the deputy battalion commander, is a bit unreliable.
Qin Lie saluted several leaders respectfully, and occasionally interjected a few words with insight.
Several leaders did not ignore him and chatted with him from time to time.
"In next month's competition, I think the championship will still go to Xiao Gu."
"I don't know if anyone can break Xiao Gu's record this year."
"By the way, I remember Xiao Qin was the runner-up last year. Is Xiao Qin still participating this year?"
…
Qin Lie looked down at his wheelchair, thinking of what the doctor said this morning. His face turned grim, but he could only force a smile. "It probably won't work."
The leader who asked the question realized that he was really talking about something irrelevant and tried to change the subject awkwardly.
One of them, a male leader wearing a clean white shirt, glasses and a gentle face, suddenly spoke.
"Qin Lie, how long has it been since you last took a shower?"
