"So she is Deputy Captain Qin's new wife."
"What was Deputy Captain Qin thinking? He even brought her here."
"They say if there's a stepmother, there's a stepfather. Isn't this the case?"
"Shh, be quiet, don't let her hear."
"Oh, you dare to do it but not take responsibility for it. Am I afraid she'll hear it? Let her dare to yell at me and see?"
The women's voices grew louder and louder, completely ignoring the fact that Lin Su was still present.
"Okay, what are you arguing about?"
A middle-aged woman in a Zhongshan suit appeared and stopped them. She was Wang Qiu, the regiment commander's wife.
Wang Qiu frowned and looked at them in dissatisfaction. "You're spreading such baseless stories everywhere, and even saying them in front of people! Can you just believe rumors? Or do you want to be criticized and taught a lesson?"
Because she was known for her dignity and her husband was the head of the group, no one dared to talk back to her. They pretended to be embarrassed but kept complaining in their hearts.
Wang Qiu treated Qin Sui almost like his own son, and naturally loved his wife as well. He was extremely partial to her and could not tell right from wrong.
Wang Qi didn't bother to care what they thought and turned around to look at Lin Su.
The girl was dressed simply, but her features were picturesque. Even simple clothes could not conceal her elegant and calm temperament. Her facial features were bright and charming. You couldn't tell at all that she grew up in the countryside. She looked more like a spoiled girl in the city.
She is indeed beautiful and worthy of Qin Sui.
But his skin was too pale, and his lips were almost bloodless. It was obvious that he had been ill for a long time. With such a weak body, there was no way he could be a match for these old ruffians.
Wang Qiu had asked Qin Sui and knew Lin Su's name and also knew that she had not abused her stepdaughter, so when he saw her frail appearance, he felt pity for her.
"I'm Wang Qiu, and your name is Lin Su, right? Then I'll call you Susu, and you can just call me Aunt Wang." Wang Qiu pulled Lin Su aside to talk.
"I just got back a short time ago and should have come to see you."
Hearing her familiar words, Lin Su guessed that she must be very familiar with Qin Sui.
As expected, Wang Qiu continued, "My man is the head of the group and often treats your man as his nephew. Let's treat him as our own family."
"I know you're not that kind of person, so don't take their words to heart."
Lin Su didn't say a word, but Wang Qi said several words, but every word was caring and made Lin Su feel warm in her heart.
"Aunt Wang, thank you."
The girl's voice was pleasant, soft and gentle, which softened Wang Qiu's heart. She couldn't help but lower her voice and asked, "Where are you going?"
Lin Su: "I want to buy some flour."
"That'll have to wait a while. A military logistics vehicle will pass by soon. We can take their vehicle to the market to buy it."
“Does the logistics truck pass by every day?”
"It depends. Sometimes it's two days, sometimes it's three days."
Lin Su nodded in understanding.
Wang Qiu was about to say something when he saw the logistics vehicle coming and quickly pulled her forward, "The vehicle is here."
As soon as the car stopped, Wang Qi climbed into the car swiftly and reached out to Lin Su.
Lin Su quickly reached out.
Then she was pulled up without much effort.
Aunt Wang is too strong.
Without waiting for her to think, Wang Qi pulled her to find a seat closest to the cab and took out two wraps.
She wrapped one bandage around her head and face, and handed the other bandage to Lin Su, "Fortunately, I always have one bandage ready for you."
Although Lin Su didn't understand, she still did as she was told.
Others also got on the bus one after another. After everyone was on, the bus began to shake.
The road was uneven and bumpy, and the car was shaking back and forth, even more violently than the other day.
What's worse, the wind and sand poured into the truck bed, and Lin Su quickly buried her face in her arms.
No wonder they all like to wear headscarves, it turns out it is to protect against wind and sand.
In this situation, everyone's mouth is full of sand and no one wants to chat, so it was quiet all the way.
Lin Su endured the discomfort and persevered, and when she finally arrived at the market, she almost vomited again.
Seeing her pale face, Wang Qiu couldn't help but persuade her, "The environment here is bad, and you are weak. Next time, let Qin Sui go if you need to buy anything."
Lin Su smiled but didn't say anything.
She caught a glimpse of the simple market from the corner of her eye and looked slightly stunned.
Wang Qiu noticed it and explained, "The higher-ups allow the sale, so feel free to buy it. But you have to buy it quickly, or the shuttle bus won't wait."
Lin Su nodded quickly, "I understand."
Wang Qiu also had things to buy, so he didn't go with her.
Lin Su hurried to find something to buy.
Due to the limitations of the times and region, the materials she could buy were also limited, but she could make small cookies with whatever she could get.
Thinking that the three children at home should like to eat candy, Lin Su saw someone selling malt sugar and bought some.
She didn't look at the others carefully and hurried back to the assembly point, where she happened to see a lot of people standing next to the logistics vehicle.
Lin Su subconsciously looked for Wang Qiu, but when she saw she was talking to someone, she didn't go up to her.
Lin Su didn't come forward until Wang Qiu finished talking and looked back for something.
Lin Su's basket was uncovered, so it was easy to see what she bought. Wang Qi wanted to dispel the rumor for her, so he deliberately asked, "Are you buying candies for those three kids?"
Lin Su nodded.
Wang Qiu: "Then what is this flour for?"
"Biscuits, all three of them like to eat cookies."
"Despite your weak body, you still come to buy flour for them to make biscuits. You are very nice to them. It's great that your stepmother has done this for you. But you can also make small biscuits. You have such a skillful hand." Wang Qiu exclaimed.
Lin Su said modestly, "It's just okay. I'll give you some to try when it's ready."
