Chapter 193: The Persistent Sister-in-Law Duo

Luck came, even drinking water tasted sweet.

This is what they said about Li Xinyue.

Not only did she dig a large basket full of herbs, but she also accidentally discovered a large patch of wild mushrooms.

Her basket was full and couldn’t hold any more, so she decided to come back in the afternoon.

Back home, Qian Sanni immediately came over to help her wash the herbs.

“Come with me to the mountain this afternoon, I found something good.”

Qian Sanni’s eyes lit up upon hearing this: “What good thing?”

Li Xinyue was excited: “Wild mushrooms, a whole patch!”

“There are many kinds, like shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, morel mushrooms, and chicken of the woods.”

“I tell you, that mountain gully is full of them.”

What?

A whole patch?

That’s a good thing!

Qian Sanni was so happy she couldn’t stop smiling: “Let’s call Sister Xu later, she also likes this, it’s great for making soup in winter after drying them.”

“Okay, I’ll tell her when Sister-in-law comes back.”

“Go, go, I’ll go! Wait for me, I’ll go ask for leave!”

Xu Hongqin was excited to hear about the wild mushrooms and immediately went to ask for leave. Qian Sanni also changed clothes and prepared to leave.

“Xinyue, the car is out of gas, right?”

Li Xinyue nodded: “Yeah, I used it all up, there’s no gas station nearby.”

Qian Sanni immediately went into the house and came back with a plastic jug.

“I forgot, I asked Wang Hao to get some yesterday, see how far it can take us?”

This jug probably had ten liters or so?

Li Xinyue was amused: “How much is it? I’ll pay you.”

Qian Sanni glared: “What money? I don’t know where he got it, I just said that Captain Xiao’s car was out of gas.”

“Take it, I’ll be riding in this car anyway!”

Alright then.

Li Xinyue didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately added the gas, then went back to the house and took out a large basket.

The three of them got in the car and prepared to leave. Aunt Zhengca me over: “Can I go with you? Don’t worry, I can walk.”

The mountain wasn’t high, Qian Sanni could go, so naturally Aunt Zheng could go too.

Li Xinyue nodded: “Go ahead, Dashan, you go home and get your things.”

“Okay, okay!”

Aunt Zheng ran home. Li Xinyue parked the car on the roadside in front of her house and chatted with Xu Hongqin and the others…

As luck would have it, Aunt Zheng and Wu Xiuzhi were neighbors.

“Sister-in-law, look who that is?”

From the window, Qi Yan, with her sharp eyes, immediately saw Li Xinyue talking in the car…

“Is that really Li Xinyue?”

Qi Yan also felt it wasn’t: “I don’t think so either.”

“She can sew clothes and drive, did she suddenly become a genius?”

“Sister-in-law, why don’t you ask your sister to find out?”

“This person is too suspicious!”

Indeed!

Wu Xiuzhi stared coldly at Li Xinyue outside the window, as if trying to find evidence that she was a spy.

Just then…

“What are you two talking about?”

Qi Xiangdong came out of the house and saw his sister and sister-in-law whispering…

Qi Yan pointed: “Brother, look at that car!”

Qi Xiangdong looked over and was surprised: “Li Xinyue can drive? She’s really gotten quite skilled.”

Qi Yan was excited, she hadn’t found any evidence in the morning, maybe this was it!

“Yeah, you know, she’s a country girl, where did she learn to drive?”

“Brother, don’t you feel that this Li Xinyue is different from the Li Xinyue we knew before?”

Different?

Qi Xiangdong opened his mouth: “She really is different, maybe she’s grown up?”

“But she’s still pretty amazing, she even learned to drive, that’s not easy.”

“That’s true, after all, her grandfather is the manager of the stone quarry, there are many tractors in the stone quarry.”

What does brother mean by that?

Thinking of this possibility, Qi Yan’s hot little heart turned cold in an instant.

“Brother, are you saying she learned to drive a tractor at the stone factory, so it’s not strange that she can drive a car?”

“Yeah.”

What’s so strange about that?

Qi Xiangdong can drive, it’s not hard to know this.

“These things are all interconnected, as long as you understand the gears and recognize the brake and accelerator, you can drive.”

Qi Yan: “…”

I’m so damn happy for nothing?

After Qi Xiangdong left, Qi Yan pursed her lips: “Sister-in-law, I still think she’s suspicious, what do you think?”

“What if she never learned to drive a tractor, wouldn’t it be too strange that she could drive a car?”

Wu Xiuzhi also found Li Xinyue suspicious, and she felt that this cousin had changed too much, so much that she didn’t recognize her at all.

Although she was smart before, now she doesn’t look like a country girl at all!

Is this countryside so talented?

Suddenly, Wu Xiuzhi’s eyes rolled: “Let’s go, I’ll call my sister, let her go and investigate properly.”

Qi Yan smiled: “Yes, let her investigate this Li Xinyue’s background thoroughly, I just feel that she’s very strange.”

That’s right.

Is it possible for a country woman to be so capable?

The two sisters-in-law soon arrived at the Military Service Center.

The Military Service Center has three external lines, and it’s noon now, so there aren’t many people.

Soon, Wu Xiuzhi dialed her mother’s unit’s phone: “…Mom, be careful, don’t let anyone know.”

“If this is true, you’ll be making a great contribution.”

On the other end of the phone, Wu Ma was so nervous: “Okay, okay, I’ll try my best to find out with your sister, just wait for our news.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, the two sisters-in-law happily walked back, and at the corner, they met Mo Xiu who was going to the service center to buy something…

“What good things are you buying?”

Wu Xiuzhi immediately smiled: “Nothing special, just calling my mom to tell her we’ve settled in.”

“By the way, sister-in-law, did you hear? Battalion Commander Chen’s family can drive, I saw her driving out just now.”

Mo Xiu laughed when she heard this: “I know! This is a big deal!”

“Do you know Wang Lijuan and Liu Guilian?”

Wu Xiuzhi didn’t live in this family compound before, this house was just applied for in August, and she’s not really familiar with the people in the family compound.

“Hehe.”

Mo Xiu smiled: “Wang Lijuan’s husband is Wu Liang, the logistics assistant, and Liu Guilian’s husband is Xu Yang from the security department.”

“These two were punished because of Battalion Commander Chen’s family driving.”

What?

Wu Xiuzhi and Qi Yan were stunned…

“Sister-in-law, tell us specifically, what happened? Li Xinyue can drive, why were these two punished?”

Mo Xiu told them, and she was very detailed.

“I’m telling you, Battalion Commander Chen has a strong background, and now he’s gone on a special mission, don’t provoke his family.”

What’s going on!

Was her phone call in vain?

In an instant, Wu Xiuzhi thought of the phone bill and felt a pang of pain!

“Oh my, thank you, sister-in-law, for reminding me, otherwise, if we accidentally bump into her, our husbands will be implicated!”

Mo Xiu smiled: “That’s right, better safe than sorry, better safe than sorry!”

The three of them parted ways, Qi Yan was heartbroken.

“Sister-in-law, she’s changed so much in a few years?”

It’s not a few years, it’s been eleven years.

Eleven years is indeed enough to change a person.

But Wu Xiuzhi was not convinced.

“Let’s wait until my mother and sister’s letter comes.”
