Chapter 25: Terrifying Strength, Getting a Slice of Gossip from the Family Compound



Lin Xiaoxiao understood.

It seems that the family in front wasn't easy to get along with.

Although the house is small, it has two rooms and a small living room with a dining table.

There's also a small kitchen that was developed on the side.

A bathroom was also built near the back.

The kitchen has a traditional wood-fired stove, so firewood has to be burned.

This is why everyone is eager to live in apartment buildings.

Living in an apartment building eliminates the need to chop firewood; cooking and boiling water are done using honeycomb briquettes, which is much more convenient.

"It's too empty. It seems we still need to buy a lot of things."

Lin Xiaoxiao walked around and had a general idea of ​​what she needed to buy.

There should at least be a sofa in the living room, so you can relax and not sit at the dining table.

The bedroom only has a bed and a cabinet. We need to add a small table to put a kettle and other odds and ends, so that we don't have to leave the room if we want to drink water late at night.

The yard is all dirt; it's fine when it doesn't rain, but you only realize it when it does.

I need to find some time to go to the riverbank and collect some stones to fill in a small path.

Qin Yushen slowly moved the things from the car in, just in time to hear her say, "I'm free for the next two days. Write down what you need and I'll go get it."

"I see there's no firewood in the kitchen. Should we go chop some first?" Lin Xiaoxiao then realized that there wasn't even any firewood in the kitchen.

I still have to cook dinner tonight.

Qin Yu took a deep look and confirmed that there was none. "It's alright, the logistics department should have plenty of firewood today. I'll go buy some."

"good."

The logistics department certainly didn't lack firewood; a company of new recruits had chopped so much firewood that it was almost overflowing.

When Qin Yushen left, the logistics department breathed a sigh of relief and quickly had some of the people he brought take some away.

Hearing the commotion next door, Sister Wang came out and saw Lin Xiaoxiao cleaning the yard.

He exclaimed with delight, "Hey, girls, you moved in so quickly?"

"We're really destined to be neighbors; we'll be neighbors from now on."

Lin Xiaoxiao never expected that Battalion Commander Qian's family member was Sister-in-law Wang; it was truly a coincidence.

"Yes, sister-in-law, we'll have to rely on you for help in the future."

Not only is Sister Wang skilled at sewing shoe soles, but she also has a cheerful personality. She came in wanting to help Lin Xiaoxiao, saying, "Just say the word if you need anything. My husband Lao Qian and your Battalion Commander Qin are comrades-in-arms, so helping each other is only right."

Lin Xiaoxiao dared not actually ask her for help. "There's a lot to do moving today. I'll invite you over for a meal sometime. Look at all this dust, I don't want you to get all dirty."

Just then, Qin Yushen and some other men's voices came from outside the door.

Knowing that she didn't need his help, Sister Wang gave up, saying, "Alright, we're neighbors now, there will be plenty of opportunities to chat, so I won't take up any more of your time."

"Okay, take care, sister-in-law."

The men Qin Yushen had called to help were stunned when they saw Lin Xiaoxiao, his new sister-in-law.

Only one person scratched his head, puzzled, not understanding why his good buddies had suddenly become like this.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring in the firewood." Qin Yushen knew what they were shocked about just by looking at their expressions.

The group snapped out of their daze and quickly got to work.

He would steal glances at Lin Xiaoxiao every now and then.

"Battalion Commander, isn't your wife...?" During the break, one of them couldn't help but ask.

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yushen interrupted him, "It's a coincidence."

"Don't spread this around, or you'll be in big trouble."

"Yes." The men's expressions turned solemn.

These were people Qin Yushen trusted, and none of them were gossips. After being instructed, they naturally wouldn't go around spreading rumors.

"Battalion Commander, your wife is such a good fighter, do you not have much say at home?" a young soldier teased, raising an eyebrow.

The others immediately burst into laughter.

I never imagined that one day they would see the battalion commander make a fool of himself.

The image of their sister-in-law punching the deputy battalion commander, who then clutched his chest and remained unconscious for a long time, still replays in their minds.

Qin Yushen was the strongest person in their eyes, but he couldn't even last a few moves against his sister-in-law. When the two fought, it was obvious that the battalion commander had given his all, but his sister-in-law still had the mind to flirt with him.

This shows how capable my sister-in-law is.

Terrifying!

The soldiers' burning gazes fell on Lin Xiaoxiao, and Lin Xiaoxiao could naturally feel it.

She also recognized the faces of the others, except for the bewildered young man on the side.

These were the people who fought Qin Yushen in the courtyard at that time.

They must have recognized me.

But there's nothing to worry about. She didn't break the law; she just happened to stumble upon their hideout while 'escaping,' it wasn't intentional.

With the help of several young men, the house was quickly cleaned up, and the necessary items were retrieved from the logistics department.

Many hands make light work; more people means more benefits.

"Thank you for your hard work." Qin Yushen saw them to the door. "I'll treat everyone to dinner the day after tomorrow."

"The battalion commander is too kind. It didn't take much effort at all. There's no need for a meal." In those days, food was precious, and only a minority of families could afford to eat their fill.

They train every day, so they naturally eat a lot.

A meal for these people would consume at least half a month's worth of food for someone else.

Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't go to someone else's house for a meal.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly added, "Your battalion commander and I aren't planning on having a banquet for our wedding. We'll just have a meal to celebrate. You can't refuse!"

Qin Yushen nodded in agreement, "Stop dawdling, be on time, don't make me go and invite you."
