Chapter 85 Military Marriage, the Control Group in Period Literature
Wang Chunxia's words were vulgar and unreasonable, but they were truly a protection for Jiang Ning.
but.
Who is Wang Chunxia? She is the most despised rustic peasant in the military compound.
All he does all day is work in the fields, watering and planting vegetables.
He can't even speak city dialect.
Liu Xiangmei was actually yelled at by someone she totally despised.
His face immediately turned red, he became angry, and he wanted to yell back.
However.
Others didn't even give her a chance to speak.
Gu Qingwan also walked out of the store. She was tall and wore high heels. When she lowered her eyes to look at Liu Xiangmei, her face was full of contempt and ridicule.
"It's only a hundred yuan. I, Gu Qingwan, can give you whatever you want. Jiang Ning's craftsmanship is second to none in the city. Even if she gives me five hundred yuan, I don't think it's too much! If she wants, I can even open a counter for her in the best location in the department store."
As soon as these words came out.
There was another uproar among the crowd around.
I've probably never seen a woman speak so arrogantly.
I was also shocked at what kind of charm Jiang Ning had that made everyone stand on her side.
Liu Xiangmei was already furious at this time, and she only wanted to save her precarious face. When she saw that Gu Qingwan was a stranger, she ignored the dissuasion of other military wives and started yelling again.
"Oh, who are you? You are just a woman, but you are so arrogant. Does your family own the department store? Whatever you say is true?"
Gu Qingwan just sneered contemptuously at this.
She didn't even need to say anything. The owner of the tailor shop nearby was already very terrified.
He yelled at someone.
"You are right! The department store was opened by Miss Gu's father. It is their family's business! I warn you, don't be so blind as to fail to recognize the great man! If you offend Miss Gu, you will suffer the consequences!"
This time, even Jiang Ning was a little stunned.
She could tell that Gu Qingwan came from an extraordinary family and her family background must be extraordinary, but she didn't expect that the largest department store in the city belonged to her.
No wonder the sales clerks I saw earlier were wearing trendy business suits and rare stockings.
I'm afraid it's also because of Miss Gu.
Things were on the verge of getting out of control.
Jiang Ning also had to step up and end the matter.
She said to Liu Xiangmei.
"Sister Liu, doing business is a matter of mutual consent. Miss Gu is willing to pay this money, and my skills are worth this money. Both of us have no objection, why do you look so indignant? If you are envious and jealous, you can also make money with your skills. This is not a shameful thing. Don't you think so?"
This sentence directly revealed Liu Xiangmei's jealous mentality and also pushed Liu Xiangmei into a dead end.
She doesn't have the skill, and there is no way she can make money with her ability.
The second battalion commander's wife, Li Guihua, hurriedly persuaded him.
"Xiangmei, forget it. We still have to go to the department store. We haven't bought towels and soap for the children yet. If we don't go now, it will be too late. The bus back home won't wait for anyone."
No matter what you say.
A group of them took Liu Xiangmei away.
Jiang Ning also set a time with Gu Qingwan.
"Ten days later, at this time, I will deliver the cheongsam."
"It's a deal."
…
Jiang Ning wrapped the expensive cheongsam with cloth and held it carefully in her arms. It also contained some tools borrowed from the owner of the tailor shop, which she would use to make buttons.
Wang Chunxia, who was following beside her, felt like she was dreaming.
"Sister Ning... you are amazing... how come you are so skillful... I was stunned just now... the needle and thread look completely different in your hands than in other people's hands... it's amazing... it's really amazing..."
Jiang Ning felt embarrassed hearing all the sighs.
When they returned to the military camp, they still took the bus of the motorcade.
In such a short time, the news that Jiang Ning earned a hundred yuan by altering clothes had already spread throughout the car.
The group of people looked at Jiang Ning with eagerness and admiration.
That's a hundred dollars. Who would complain about having too much money?
They all wanted to pester Jiang Ning and ask him questions.
Jiang Ning blocked all the arguments with just one sentence: "I used to be a worker in a textile factory, and I learned from the master."
As the car drove onto the winding mountain road, it began to sway and sway.
The sisters-in-law, who had been tired all day, finally calmed down.
Everyone had their eyes closed, either resting or sleeping.
Jiang Ning looked out the window at the lush green mountains outside.
It suddenly occurred to her.
"Sister Chunxia, can we go up these mountains?"
Wang Chunxia also looked outside and replied, "The troops sometimes conduct target practice, and they use live ammunition. You can't go to the mountains at that time. On other days, you can go as long as you tell the guards at the gate of the military compound."
Jiang Ning's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Then let's go to the mountain tomorrow. There are the most mushrooms in the mountain at this season. Let's go up the mountain to pick mushrooms."
There are various kinds of mushrooms, which are delicious and tasty.
Moreover, it just rained a few days ago, and after the rain, the mushrooms popped out like bamboo shoots.
I saw a lot of wild mushrooms at the mountain product market in Jiangning today, but buying ready-made ones is not as good as picking them yourself.
Wang Chunxia was a little worried, "Sister Ning, don't you need to make the buttons for the cheongsam first?"
"There's no rush. It can be done in a few days. There's still time. The soldiers are away recently and no one is training in the mountains. It's just the right time for us to go and dig mushrooms."
"Okay, let's go tomorrow."
The two made an agreement.
Just at this moment.
A soft, timid voice came from the front seat.
"Um...can I...go with you guys?"
The person speaking was Yang Rui, the lover of the fourth battalion commander Zhao Shuisheng.
Jiang Ning had noticed Yang Rui before.
Yang Rui looks very young, only one or two years older than Jiang Ning.
She was not very pretty, but she was fair and pretty, with thick black braids that were meticulously tidy.
There is a rare scholarly air about him.
Jiang Ning vaguely remembered that Yang Rui was introverted and quiet, and she studied very well. She was the top student in the school when she entered high school.
But at that time, the national college entrance examination had not yet been resumed, so she was unable to go to college and had to get married early.
Her lover, Zhao Shuisheng, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, is a typical Northeastern man.
He is a big man with a rough temperament. He will win first place in the regiment-wide competition. But he had absolutely no interest in flowery poetry and songs.
He also sneered at Yang Rui's lifestyle.
They are a couple who are completely opposite in concept.
Jiang Ning even remembered some vague plots...
Yang Rui was not happy in her marriage, and because she could not get a divorce, she eventually suffered from depression...
Yang Rui is a complete miserable comparison to the original heroine.
Not everyone who marries a majestic officer can live a sweet military marriage.
