However, just after leaving the house, she ran into a woman from the family compound. This woman worked at a kimchi factory in town and must have been working the night shift last night, just getting off work now.
His steps were unsteady, and his face was very pale.
"Hey, Xiao Ye, why are you up so early?"
Although I only know a few of the wives in the family compound, I recognize most of the others. Otherwise... you're a division commander's wife, how can you say you don't recognize someone's wife when she greets you?
Don't offend anyone.
"You just got off work, sister-in-law?"
The woman smiled and nodded slightly. If you weren't watching closely, you wouldn't have noticed the subtle movement of the person in front of you: "Yes, when a customer orders something at the last minute, we have to work overtime."
Ultimately, very few families in the residential compound can live like Commander Gao's family, unless they're incredibly wealthy. Like the woman in front of me, it's about half the household: the man works, and the woman also works outside the home.
The situation is obvious. It's much better than those families where only the man works to earn money. At least they don't lack food, drink, or clothing, and the children can afford some cheap snacks anytime.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Phew, what's so hard about it? It's all for the family. Xiao Ye, you must have something to do outside, right? Then I won't keep you any longer. I'll go now, let's chat sometime."
"Okay, see you next time."
The bus stop was not far away. I checked my watch; it was exactly seven o'clock.
If we finish early, we'll have some time to stroll around the market. My son goes to learn military boxing every day now, and I've seen it myself. That squad leader, Lin, isn't exactly gentle with the little guy; he disciplines him when necessary and never holds back.
It's only been a few days, but my son's chubby face has noticeably thinned out. He needs to be properly nourished. I'll go buy two fresh old hens to make soup later.
As for the man's situation, it wasn't the first time, so he'd gotten a bit used to it. Anyway, evil deeds last a thousand years, and that monster certainly wouldn't do anything.
Putting everything else aside, the man's formidable strength alone is enough!

At noon, Ye Wanying had just finished sorting the goods, separating them by material so that it would be easier to calculate the price later, and Xiaoyu arrived.
This is my second time here, and the first time was truly breathtaking.
When Ye Xiaoyu first saw the house, it was still an old house. She never expected that in just a few months, it would be completely renovated, both inside and out.
"Sister, this is so beautiful!" she exclaimed, showering him with compliments.
Ye Wanying stood beside the spiral staircase, sorting through a batch of materials. Listening to her cousin's words, she smiled and said, "Actually, it's not so bad." Indeed, if everything were decorated according to the standards of decades to come, the current style would look outdated...
Tsk tsk...
Xiaoyu clicked her tongue a few times, her eyes sparkling: "Sis, can I come over to play often in the future?"
Such a beautiful house, even cleaning it would be a pleasure, wouldn't you say?
"Of course, you can come and stay whenever you have time. I'll reserve a place for you."
"Good, good, good!" Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoyu's excitement seemed about to burst forth uncontrollably.
The two sisters worked together to tidy up, and they did it quickly, getting all the piles of fabric neatly arranged by their father.
Ye Wanying didn't have much fabric on hand; it was all snatched from a clothing factory back then, but it was still quite a lot. She had a good amount of high-quality fabric, enough to make at least a dozen or twenty haute couture dresses.
