Chapter 44 Chapter 44 "Hello, Chief!"

After watching Gao Juanjuan leave, Jiang Qiuyue walked home slowly.

When she passed by the pavilion, she saw Wei Meihua and deliberately greeted her.

Wei Meihua felt guilty when she first saw Jiang Qiuyue, but when she thought about what Jiang Qiuyue had done, she became confident again and tilted her head back and said "hmm".

"Sister-in-law, why haven't you been to the Bai family recently? Is it because of me that you and Zhao Shufen had a quarrel?" Jiang Qiuyue walked to the entrance of the pavilion. "Oh, forget it, I won't say this anymore. But sister-in-law should stay away from Zhao Shufen to avoid getting into trouble."

She was kindly reminding him that if Wei Meihua insisted on causing trouble with Zhao Shufen, don't blame her for being ruthless.

After Jiang Qiuyue left, Peng Yan dared to approach Wei Meihua and said, "Meihua, I think Jiang Qiuyue is right. You should stay away from Zhao Shufen to avoid being implicated by her."

"What do you know?" Wei Meihua pouted. "She has nothing to brag about. Just wait and see. It won't be long before she's done for."

Peng Yan asked what she meant. Wei Meihua remembered Zhao Shufen's instructions this time. She wanted to say something, but she held back.

But when she got home, Granny Weng came over and said, "That Jiang Qiuyue is indeed pretty, but I heard that Zhao Shufen was just making it up last time. What happened?"

"Humph, last time Sister Shufen didn't catch anything wrong. Just wait and see. Jiang Qiuyue is about to get into trouble." Wei Meihua couldn't help but say a few more words, "Anyway, just wait and see. Jiang Qiuyue is not someone who keeps to herself."

Granny Weng nodded thoughtfully, and when she got home she asked her son, "Why hasn't Lin Zhengrong come back yet?"

"They are on a mission, it won't happen that quickly." Weng Yuan was reading a newspaper.

"He is relieved. With such a beautiful daughter-in-law at home, he is not afraid of being coveted. I heard that there are men visiting her house every day. She is not a peaceful woman." Granny Weng warned, "You are not allowed to go to her. Remember?"

"Mom, why are you here again?" Weng Yuan was annoyed by hearing this.

The old lady said, "Isn't this just in case? You have never been promoted to the group level, so shouldn't you be more careful? You are my only son, so who else can I rely on if not you?"

If her son had more potential, the villagers would envy her even more. She had to keep an eye on her son and not allow him to make any mistakes in his conduct.

Weng Yuan did not go to Jiang Qiuyue's house for dinner because several of his brothers had already told him off. He now had lost his patience, so he put down the newspaper and went out.

However, he had not seen Jiang Qiuyue, but he had heard a lot about Jiang Qiuyue recently. No matter what they said about Jiang Qiuyue, they all agreed that Jiang Qiuyue was pretty. There was a sentence that his mother said was quite right. How could Lin Zhengrong, this kid, feel at ease leaving such a beautiful wife alone at home?

At the same time, Lin Zhengrong had completed his mission ahead of schedule and was preparing to go home.

He went to the local department store and bought a pair of leather gloves. Haicheng is cold in winter, and Jiang Qiuyue's hands had frostbite before, so it was difficult for them to be frozen again.

Seeing that he only bought things for his wife, his comrades laughed at him and said he was eager to go home. Lin Zhengrong just smiled dryly in response, he really wanted to go back quickly.

Similarly, Jiang Qiuyue also wanted Lin Zhengrong to come back soon, as there was a lot of work waiting for him at home.

Just going to the public toilet every day is enough to make Jiang Qiuyue uncomfortable.

When Jiang Qiuyue went to borrow some old water for making pickles from Wu Shuangshuang, she asked which family in the compound had a toilet, and Wu Shuangshuang said there were not many.

"There are only two or three families in our area. All of them have wealthy spouses and can't stand the dirtiness of public toilets. Why, do you want to build a toilet too?" Wu Shuangshuang's family didn't have one. She used to live in the countryside, where the outhouses were much more dilapidated than the public toilets, so she was used to it.

"Yeah, not to mention how dirty public toilets are, even when the weather gets cold, I can hold it in even if I run all the way to the public toilet." Jiang Qiuyue admitted that she was rich and couldn't bear the hardship.

"That's right. It's your first year here, so you don't know how cold the winter wind is. The wind along the coast is so strong that it can blow people away. Now that you say that, I'm moved." Wu Shuangshuang picked a basket of vegetables for Jiang Qiuyue and helped her take it to Jiang Qiuyue's home.

"Then let's build it together, how about that?" Jiang Qiuyue said, "If we both work together, we can still save a lot of time. I don't know when Zhengrong will come back, and I can't wait any longer."

Wu Shuangshuang had never thought about this before, but after hearing Jiang Qiuyue say this, she felt moved.

Her house was also a neighboring house, and the yard was as big as Jiang Qiuyue's, more than enough to build a toilet.

Seeing Wu Shuangshuang thinking, Jiang Qiuyue continued to persuade him, "In the past, there were no conditions in the countryside. Now that you are in the family compound, your husband Lin listens to you, and you have a large family, it will be more convenient to build a toilet."

"But building a toilet costs a lot of money, right?" Wu Shuangshuang was a little embarrassed. "You may not know the situation in my family. At the end of every year, my parents-in-law would bring a bunch of relatives to come over. No matter how good the toilet is, they would mess it up. And my father-in-law is a very good door-scraper. I'm afraid he would see it and complain."

"Let him talk about his own things. You have to live your own life. If you're unhappy, just curse back. You helped me to confront Zhao Shufen that day. Wasn't that pretty awesome?" Jiang Qiuyue said.

Wu Shuangshuang sighed. She could do that in front of outsiders, but in front of her husband's family, she didn't have the confidence to confront them every time because she didn't give birth to a son.

Seeing Wu Shuangshuang's expression, Jiang Qiuyue guessed what was going on. "Sister Shuangshuang, you just need to care about the opinions of the people you care about. If you don't care about some things, you will have less burden and feel more at ease. After all, every family has its own problems. How you live your life is your own choice. You have done nothing wrong to the Lin family, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Yes, I really haven't let them down!" Wu Shuangshuang made up her mind, "I'll build the toilet with you. When Lin Rong comes back, I'll ask him when he has a day off, and I'll let him borrow a cart to buy bricks."

"Then I'll be in charge of cooking. I'll ask Xiao Zhou and the others if they're free. There's strength in numbers."

Jiang Qiuyue was very happy that the toilet could be built earlier. Waiting one more day would be torture. Moreover, once the toilet was built, there would be a shower cubicle, saving the inconvenience of taking a shower at home.

After the two agreed, Jiang Qiuyue started to cook dinner.

At noon, Xiao Li sent a leg of lamb, saying that it was distributed by the leader from the army. Jiang Qiuyue was very happy to have such meat that did not require a ticket.

Cut the mutton into small pieces and blanch it in water, then boil some sugar color, stir-fry it in the pot, then add dried chili peppers and star anise and stew.

She prepared some potatoes and put them in when the mutton was almost done.

When the mutton was almost cooked, Lin Beibei came back with Lin Nannan, "Mom, when can Nannan and I go to school?"

Many of his new friends have to go to school, and he will be very bored when they go.

"In another year, you can go to primary school." Jiang Qiuyue looked at her son and suddenly thought that if he couldn't go to primary school, he could go to kindergarten. There was a kindergarten in the family compound, which was just the right age for the two children.

But looking at Lin Nannan, Jiang Qiuyue became worried again. The little girl refused to speak. What should she do?

"Nannan, do you want to go to school?" Jiang Qiuyue held her daughter's hand and saw her daughter's tangled expression. "Why don't I take you to have a look tomorrow? If you like it, you can go to kindergarten, okay?"

Lin Nannan leaned in her mother's arms, always going wherever her brother went. She always listened to her brother and mother.

When Lin Beibei heard that she could go to kindergarten, she cheered happily. At this time, Xiao Li came to get the food.

Jiang Qiuyue said she would have to wait a while longer. "The mutton is already cooked. Wait for me to stir-fry some vegetables."

"Sister-in-law, the commander asked if you are free in a few days. Some of his old comrades are coming to visit him and he wants to ask you to go over and help cook a meal?" Xiao Li asked.

Jiang Qiuyue said, "I'm planning to build a toilet and a shower cubicle. I don't know if the timing will overlap. I was wondering if you have time to help me."

"I'm sure I'll be free." For a bite to eat, Xiao Li was very willing to help. "Then, I'll find a few more people to help you finish it quickly, and we can always avoid that day. The commander has already praised your cooking skills to his comrades, so please give him some face."

Jiang Qiuyue had never met Yu Guanghui before, but after hearing what Xiao Li said, she should give him some face. After all, her bicycle ticket was given by Yu Guanghui, and if she wanted to get other things in the future, it would be much more convenient with Yu Guanghui as a relationship.

"Okay, then tell me a good date in advance so that I can prepare it then." Jiang Qiuyue thought that the chief's comrades-in-arms must be the chief, and they all liked the food she cooked. Then maybe they could have more long-term dining companions in the future, and eating fish and meat every day would not be a dream.

Jiang Qiuyue has been taking care of herself in order to live a long life all her life. How can she have nutrition if she doesn't eat well?

Jiang Qiuyue wasted some time talking to Xiao Li, so when she went to fry the beans again, she was ten minutes later than usual.

After she packed Xiao Li's lunch box, she heard someone talking outside the door. She immediately guessed what was going on and asked the two children to go back to their room first.

"Xiao Li, don't leave yet. Cooperate with me later. You..."

Jiang Qiuyue put the lunch box in the pot to keep it warm. She heard someone climbing over the wall and opening the door, so she went out to ask who it was.

At this time, the door opened, and Zhao Shufen was the first to rush in, shouting, "Sister Zhu, I saw the man enter her house with my own eyes. Look at the two bicycles in the yard. The wild man must still be in her house!"

Zhu Caixia was the director of the women's department. When she heard Zhao Shufen report that someone was having an affair, she knew that such a thing would never be tolerated under her jurisdiction, so she brought people over immediately.

"Zhao Shufen, you didn't slap me enough last time, so you want to be slapped again, right?" Jiang Qiuyue crossed her arms in front of her chest, deliberately blocking Zhu Caixia and others.

"You are the bastard. I wonder how you can get away this time?" Zhao Shufen put one hand on her waist. "Now the front and back doors of your house are blocked. When we catch this wild man, you will suffer the consequences!"

Bai Xiuxiu had just returned home from outside. She squeezed into the crowd to hear her aunt say this, and then went to see Jiang Qiuyue worriedly.

Jiang Qiuyue smiled and asked, "If there is no wild man in my family, what will you do, Zhao Shufen?"

"Impossible!" When Zhao Shufen went to find Zhu Caixia, Wei Meihua kept staring at Jiang Qiuyue's house. Wei Meihua said that the wild man had not come out. "If there is no wild man hiding in your house, I will chop off my head and let you sit on it!"

"No need for that. Just give me the head. I think it stinks."

Jiang Qiuyue went to see Zhu Caixia, "Director Zhu, today is the first time we meet, and I have something to say first. The day after I moved in, Zhao Shufen started spreading bad things about me, saying that I was a vixen, and I caught her. She has been holding a grudge against me ever since and wanted to take revenge on me. But I, Jiang Qiuyue, have done things honestly and have done nothing wrong. I can let you search as you please, but if you didn't find the wild man, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Zhu Caixia heard Jiang Qiuyue speak in an orderly manner and felt that Jiang Qiuyue had no guilty conscience. "Don't worry, as the director of the Women's Department, I will not favor anyone. If Zhao Shufen deliberately wronged you, I will let her apologize to you in public."

"Just apologizing is useless. A stink bug like this shouldn't be allowed to stay in the family compound. Otherwise, I won't dare to stay here any longer." Jiang Qiuyue said as she stepped aside. "My child is still at home. Don't scare him or I won't stop."

Zhao Shufen snorted coldly, "You are so shameless to do such a thing, are you afraid of scaring the child?"

She was the first to rush in, and when she saw Xiao Li in the kitchen, she shouted, "Sister Zhu, come quickly, the man is here!"

Zhao Shufen held onto Xiao Li tightly, fearing that he would run away. Xiao Li endured in the kitchen for a long time. He had never dated anyone, yet he was wrongly accused. He was so angry that his face turned red. If his sister-in-law hadn't told him not to go out, he would have gone out long ago.

Zhu Caixia and others came after hearing the news, looked at Xiao Li and asked what was going on with Jiang Qiuyue.

"What else could it be?" Zhao Shufen said first, "Isn't this an adulterer? Meihua and I have been watching her house every day, and this man comes every day. I have seen them hugging each other with my own eyes, and now they have been caught. How shameless!"

"You are not allowed to scold my mother!" Lin Beibei rushed over and kicked Zhao Shufen. Lin Nannan followed suit but was pushed away by Zhao Shufen.

"What are you doing, you little bastard?" Zhao Shufen's calf was numb from being kicked. "You look like a decent person, but you are not upright at the top and you are crooked at the bottom. You deserve to give birth to a dumb child!"

“Bang!”

Hearing the word "little dumb", Jiang Qiuyue slapped Zhao Shufen hard without saying a word, "My daughter is not dumb!"

Zhao Shufen was stunned. After she came to her senses, she rushed towards Jiang Qiuyue, "If she is not mute, then what is she? Am I wrong? No one has heard her speak in such a long time! How dare you hit me? I will beat you to death..."

Before Zhao Shufen got close, Jiang Qiuyue kicked her directly in the stomach. If Zhu Caixia had not pulled her back, she would have sat on Zhao Shufen and beat her.

Jiang Qiuyue held a child in one hand, "Beibei and Nannan, be good, stop crying, Mommy is not bullied. Beibei, take your sister to the room, Mommy is going to teach the bad guys a lesson."

"Woo woo, but mommy..."

"Beibei, be obedient. Mom won't suffer any loss." Jiang Qiuyue touched the two children's faces, and then Lin Beibei took her sister back to the room.

"Sister Zhu, don't stop me. I'm going to beat this bitch to death today!" Zhao Shufen got up from the ground. Her stomach seemed to be cramping. "She cheated on me and beat me up."

If other people hadn't pulled her back, Zhao Shufen would have rushed towards Jiang Qiuyue again.

Zhu Caixia frowned and looked at Jiang Qiuyue, "Comrade Jiang Qiuyue, shouldn't you give an explanation?"

Xiao Li's eyes turned red. He had never been wrongly accused like this before. "My sister-in-law and I are innocent!"

"Pah!" Zhao Shufen spitted and cursed, "With the way you are, who would believe that you are innocent? You don't want to be a good person, but you have to do something sneaky. Jiang Qiuyue, I said you are a vixen. Not long after coming to the family compound, you started to hook up with men. Sister Zhu, we should arrest them and criticize them!"

Zhao Shufen is very rampant now, thinking she has caught Jiang Qiuyue and Xiao Li's evidence.

Wei Meihua also nodded in agreement, "Yes, Director Zhu, I saw this man come in with my own eyes."

Jiang Qiuyue's place was full of noise and noise, attracting neighbors from all around.

When Wu Shuangshuang arrived, she happened to hear Zhao Shufen scolding Jiang Qiuyue. She frowned and said, "Qiuyue, didn't Xiao Li come to get food?" Others didn't know, but she knew it. At first Jiang Qiuyue didn't take the initiative to say it, but seeing Xiao Li coming to get food every day, she asked privately. However, Jiang Qiuyue said that the leader didn't allow her to make it public, so she didn't tell anyone.

At this time, someone thought Xiao Li looked familiar. After looking at him for a while, they recognized him and asked, "Hey, aren't you the bodyguard next to Commander Yu?"

"What's wrong with the chief's bodyguard?" Zhao Shufen spat again, "Whoever is the adulterer should be arrested and criticized! Even if he is the chief's son, he is useless, let alone a bodyguard!"

Xiao Li clenched his fists and explained loudly, "Director Zhu, I really came here to get food for the chief. Since his wife passed away, our chief has not been used to the food in the cafeteria. He passed by the neighborhood that day and smelled the delicious food cooked by Sister-in-law Lin, so he stayed for a long time. I was afraid that the chief would get sick from hunger, so I came to ask Sister-in-law to cook for him."

He opened the pot lid and said, "If you don't believe me, just look, I come here to get food every day!"

When everyone saw the lunch boxes and smelled the aroma of stewed mutton, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

I have to say, the food in the pot is really fragrant.

Zhu Caixia asked, "Then what did Comrade Zhao Shufen say about you hugging each other?"

"I didn't!" Xiao Li felt greatly insulted. "She is just making it up. I am an innocent person. How could I do such a thing?"

Zhao Shufen didn't believe it. "You said you were bringing food to the leader. Who would believe it?"

"Who knows if it's an excuse? After all, we can't see the leader. I think you are just making it up to find an excuse for yourself and Jiang Qiuyue!"

This was the first time in Xiao Li's life that he was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up. "Then come with me to find the chief!"

Jiang Qiuyue meant the same thing, but before Zhao Shufen and the others could say anything, Yu Guanghui arrived by himself.

After waiting for a long time at home, Xiao Li did not come back. Yu Guanghui wanted to come over to see what was going on, but he did not expect so many people to gather there.

Some people didn't know him, but Zhu Caixia did, and immediately greeted him respectfully, "Hello, Chief!"
