Chapter 201: Encountered, Climbing Sisterhood

Indeed.

Wu Xiuzhi also thought so, the difference between the former Li Xinyue and the current Li Xinyue was too great!

But the military’s review of military wives was so strict, if she wasn’t really Li Xinyue, when would she have been replaced?

This matter had to be clarified!

“Yanzi, why don’t you go back and personally check with the Chen family?”

Go back?

Qi Yan didn’t want to go back. This time she came with a mission. Her mother-in-law had given her an order: no pregnancy, no return!

“Sister-in-law, why don’t we wait a few more days? I’ll go back after your sister’s letter arrives?”

That could work.

“Alright, let’s keep a close eye on her these next few days.”

Qi Yan immediately agreed: “Okay!”

No one paid attention to the thoughts of this aunt and niece. Li Xinyue went to get some herbs and made herbal shampoo with Qian Sanni…

Ma Suying smelled the fragrant herbs and immediately liked it.

“Xiao Li, give me a few bottles of this, I’ll give them to people.”

Li Xinyue smiled: “Aunt Ma, I brought you five bottles. If it’s not enough, call me.”

“Good, this stuff is very good. I think my relatives will like it.”

Ma Suying’s relatives were all from families of cadres. A few yuan per bottle was nothing to them.

In this era of material scarcity, good things were rare, and even with money, there was nowhere to spend it.

Just like the division commander’s family.

The division commander’s salary was five times that of Chen Mingchuan, and Ma Suying’s salary was also higher than his. The whole family, except for their youngest son, had an income.

Even the division commander’s daughter who went to the countryside to work in the countryside, was a teacher at the commune elementary school, earning thirty-three yuan a month, plus labor insurance items.

Her son-in-law was a skilled worker at the county hardware factory, earning fifty-six yuan a month.

For good things, she wouldn’t let them slip away.

After delivering the things, Li Xinyue happily walked back, but unexpectedly ran into Wu Xiuzhi and her sister-in-law…

“Cousin, it’s really you?”

This was the first time Wu Xiuzhi had met Li Xinyue.

Although she didn’t know that the aunt and niece were investigating her everywhere, Li Xinyue just didn’t like these two based on her gut feeling.

“You don’t know it’s me?”

Wu Xiuzhi’s face twitched: “I heard Yanzi say you also married into the military. I wanted to see you, but I had some things to take care of these past few days.”

“Cousin, I didn’t expect you to marry into the military too. We sisters are truly fated.”

“More like a bad fate, wouldn’t you say?”

Wu Xiuzhi: “…”

“Li Xinyue, you’re being a bit too much! No matter what, my sister-in-law is your cousin, that’s an unchangeable fact.”

Li Xinyue glanced at Qi Yan indifferently: “Cousin, so what? Even sisters can turn against each other.”

“I remember clearly, my third aunt said: I’m surnamed Li, and I’m only related to the Wu family, not a member of the clan.”

“You… relatives are also family, how can you be like this?”

Relatives are family?

This Qi woman was trying to cling to the family connection because of Chen Mingchuan?

Li Xinyue raised her eyes with a strange smile: “Qi Yan, you’ve read so many books, haven’t you heard a saying?”

“What saying?”

“First generation close, second generation representative, third and fourth generations distanced! This kind of kinship, it’s better not to cling to it!”

Qi Yan: “…”

This sharp-tongued woman, is she really the silly Li Xinyue from before?

Wu Xiuzhi didn’t want to tear things apart now, so she immediately played the role of peacemaker: “Alright, alright, we’re still the second generation.”

“Sister, no matter what, we still share one-quarter of the same blood.”

“Since we’ve both come to the military, it means our sisters’ fate has ended. Let’s get along well from now on, okay?”

Qi Yan was a sharp-tongued woman, while Wu Xiuzhi had always been more insidious.

Li Xinyue didn’t want to associate with them, because she simply didn’t like them.

But before she could say anything, a group of military wives arrived and surrounded her in an instant…

“Little Li, your chicken essence is really so fresh! Next time, when we pick mushrooms, I’ll buy an old hen and you can teach me how to make it!”

As soon as Liu Cuijiao finished speaking, Xu Hongqin, who was beside her, nodded repeatedly: “It’s a good thing, I’ll make some next time too.”

“Delicious! Xinyue, my old Liu said it’s better than meat!”

How could it be that good?

Li Xinyue knew that they were thanking her, so she immediately said: “Okay, after the next rain, the mushrooms will definitely grow again.”

“Let’s go pick them together next weekend.”

“If you want to make it, let’s make it together, I’ll teach you.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

The crowd surrounded Li Xinyue and left, leaving Qi Yan and Wu Xiuzhi behind, their gazes deep and filled with questions…

“Sister-in-law, what’s chicken essence? Have you ever heard of it?”

Wu Xiuzhi stared at Li Xinyue’s back, motionless: “Yanzi, this woman is more capable than we imagined!”

Yes.

A ‘chicken essence’ bought over so many people, could a woman from the countryside do that?

“Sister-in-law, let’s find out more.”

“Mm.”

This damn Li Xinyue, she dared to be arrogant and didn’t recognize her?

Humph!

Li Xinyue, don’t let me catch you, or I’ll make you pay the ultimate price!

Li Xinyue didn’t know that these two women hated her so much.

Back home, she picked up Chen Mingchuan’s sweater and started knitting. She didn’t know when, but she fell asleep on the sofa…

“Mom, Mom, I’m back.”

Her son’s voice woke her up. She looked at her watch and realized it was already past five!

Li Xinyue immediately got up and opened the door: “Son, who picked you up?”

“Aunt Qian, she said you were sleeping, so she brought me back.”

Was she sleeping that soundly?

Li Xinyue knew that Qian Sanni must have called her, looked out the window and saw her sleeping, so she went to pick up her son.

Just now, she had a nightmare.

She dreamed that Chen Mingchuan was running with a group of people in an alley, with a large group of people chasing them.

Several times, they were almost caught, and she kept shouting, ‘Run, go left, run, you can go right’…

The scene was so terrifying that it woke her up.

Her whole body was uncomfortable. Li Xinyue handed her son over to Xu Hongqin, saying that she had a cold and her son would eat at her house.

Back in the living room, she collapsed onto the sofa, closed her eyes, and began to activate her mental power…

At this time, in a certain large courtyard in the capital, Chen Mingchuan and Xiao Nan, along with the 17th detachment, were escorting a group of scientists to be transferred.

Scientists are the wealth of the nation, the key to the future development of the motherland.

The superiors had ordered that they must be protected and transferred secretly, not a single one could be lost.

They had just run all the way here, finally bringing the people to this place.

But this was not the final destination, they still had to transfer the people secretly. It was too dangerous just now.

“Captain, let’s eat something first, we have another tough battle tonight.”

It was indeed a tough battle, if the other side discovered their transfer route, they would have to eliminate them!

Their team only had twenty-five people, while the other side had ten times their number. Chen Mingchuan knew that the mission was difficult.

“Mm, everyone eat, you have to eat your fill before you can work.”

“By the way, where’s the deputy captain?”
