Chapter 198 Bad News



After this incident, Feng Chun became much more obedient.

Although she really wanted to help Huang Xuehua, she also didn't want to become the common enemy of all military wives, so she decided to restrain herself for the next few days.

The next morning, Feng Chun actually followed other military wives and went to the fields for the first time.

In fact, she was originally allocated a private plot of land, but this woman was too lazy and never cultivated it properly.

Recently, the military wives saw that the land planted by Tian Yuzhu and Zhao Cui was growing very well. Seeing that the seedlings were as tall as chopsticks, they began to hoe the land with envy.

Right now, the military wives have just started to dig hoes and prepare to plant seeds, but Tian Yuzhu and the others only need to water them.

She also got up very early, and the military wives only went to the fields after she finished watering them.

"Yuzhu, we'll go up the mountain with you to pick perilla seeds someday."

We chatted for a few minutes when we passed each other.

"Sure!"

Tian Yuzhu readily agreed to everyone's request.

The military wives have all seen with their own eyes the oil squeezed from the perilla seeds. It smells so fragrant that everyone wants to follow her up the mountain.

Someone wanted to strike while the iron was hot: "Why don't we pick it today?"

"Sister-in-law, please wait a little longer. There were wolves howling in the mountains last night. It was very scary." Tian Yuzhu said with a smile.

Yes, the others then realized that they did seem to hear a wolf howling last night.

The military district is located on the border and is surrounded by continuous mountains. It is not surprising to see wolves, and everyone chooses to accept it.

"Yes, some other time!"

"Let's go up the mountain after the wolves have passed."

Everyone was chatting happily here, while Feng Chun was digging the ground alone on the other side, digging harder and harder with each hoe.

She particularly hated this feeling. Why did Tian Yuzhu seem to be so popular wherever she went?

And what about her?

Why does everyone have a problem with her?

Da Hu and Er Hu were playing with small insects in the fields. The military wives who passed by greeted the two brothers, but they were too lazy to bother Feng Chun.

Feng Chun was so angry that she was even jealous of her own son.

When Tian Yuzhu went to the fields, the military wives had not yet gone to work. Now that the military wives have gone to work, she can finally go to Shuochi Town.

Today she decided to bring Xiao Hei with her. The little guy is very smart and obedient, and will never howl unless he is told not to.

It's so pitiful for it to stay at home alone, it's time to take it for a walk.

Carrying Xiao Hei in a bamboo basket, Tian Yuzhu locked the door and left the military family area.

I didn’t expect to be so lucky. I met a carriage driver as soon as I walked out of the military area and reached the road.

The old man happily let her get in the car, chatted with her along the way, and they soon arrived at the town.

Tian Yuzhu's purpose of coming to town today was to meet the one-eyed man.

She walked around the town and found almost nothing to buy, but she couldn't go empty-handed, so she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some more needles and thread.

Jin Ju, who had a round face and a kind expression, was quite enthusiastic: "Is the girl here?"

Tian Yuzhu smiled and said, "Sister, I want to buy some needles and thread. I want spools of thread in three colors."

"Okay."

Jinju turned around and got her the needle and thread, a pack of needles, and a roll of black, white and blue thread.

I had just put the things on the counter when I suddenly called out to the door, "Grandma, what's going on?"

Tian Yuzhu turned around and saw that it was Grandma Qiao with gray hair who came in.

She also quickly called her, "Grandma Qiao."

Grandma Qiao's husband was a Red Army soldier. Erhu had hidden in her house that day. The old lady had a good memory and remembered Tian Yuzhu, so she agreed to her and exchanged a few words with a kind smile.

Then he continued to say to Jinju, "Your father left early today and didn't even have a bite of breakfast. Go and bring him some rice balls later."

"Okay, I'll go back later." Jin Ju said cheerfully: "Grandma, go slowly."

I was afraid that the elderly person who turned around and left would walk unsteadily.

Tian Yuzhu was surprised to find that Jinju was actually Grandma Qiao's granddaughter.

What she thought about even more was what the One-Eyed Dragon said that day. So... Jinju's father was the only person who had been to Luwangpo in recent years?

Ever since Tian Yuzhu learned about the place called Luwangpo from the One-Eyed Dragon, she has developed a great interest in it.

She thought it would be great if she could find out something from Jinju's father.

Unfortunately, the one-eyed man said that the man became deaf and dumb after returning from Luwangpo, and nothing could be asked of him!

With a thousand thoughts in her mind, Tian Yuzhu put the needles, thread and rolls into a bamboo basket.

Xiao Hei accidentally let his head show, and Jin Ju came out from behind the counter to watch with great interest.

"This puppy is really good-looking and looks very special."

"Yes, I picked this up when I was at my hometown." Tian Yuzhu smiled and took Xiao Hei out. The little guy was very cute and immediately strolled around on the ground.

Jinju couldn't help but hold it for a while. After this kind of contact with the little animal, she became even more kind.

"By the way, sister, I don't know what to call you yet. I just know you are a military wife."

"My full name is Tian Yuzhu, just call me Yuzhu!" Tian Yuzhu was also in a very happy mood.

"Okay, I'll call you that from now on."

"Then I'll call you sister."

Both of them have straightforward personalities, and it seemed like they had known each other for a long time.

After chatting for a while, Tian Yuzhu reminded Jinju to hurry up and deliver the rice balls. Only then did the other party close the door of the supply and marketing cooperative and go about their business.

In a small town like this, it is completely fine to go out and do some housework while working, because sometimes there may be no customers coming to the store for the whole day. Even if there are customers coming when she is out, she will wait at the door.

Tian Yuzhu went straight to the courtyard.

After not seeing the one-eyed man for a few days, he put on a black eye patch on his face. The new look made him look a bit evil.

As soon as he saw someone, the old man started nagging: "Hey, my dear, you finally showed up! If you were any later, those foreign devils would have come out of the mountains!"

"What, they went to Luwangpo?"

"Yes, I heard from Mayor Qin that he didn't agree to let them go into the mountains, nor did he send anyone to help. So these foreign devils sneaked into the mountains on their own."

It seems that Qin Xu knew that something was wrong, so he did not agree to let them go into the mountains for the so-called investigation.

These foreigners were afraid that the matter would be exposed if it dragged on for too long, so they chose to act on their own.

Tian Yuzhu thought that they were very brave. Even the common people of Shuochi Town did not dare to go there rashly. These people had no idea how powerful the deep mountains of China were.

So he asked, "When did they enter the mountain?"

One-eyed Dragon: "I was outside the guesthouse late last night and saw it clearly."

"So what's going on at the town office now?"

"They seemed quite anxious. After all, these people are international friends. They said that if they died in the mountains, it might be a big deal."

"If they came here illegally, the nature of the situation would be different."

Tian Yuzhu couldn't understand why Qin Xu still hadn't found out the true origins of these foreigners. Didn't they have letters of introduction along the way?

Could it be that there is a loophole in the organization?
