Chapter 12

If there weren’t so many people present, the lady in red would have rushed up and torn the lady in blue’s mouth.

Qiao Shuling had no intention of arguing with them and thanked everyone, “Thank you all for your help. If it weren’t for you today, I don’t know what I would have done!”

This was of course just a polite remark, but she had to do her best to save face. What if someone in the crowd knew Xie Chengxiao?

After all, she is his wife now and she has to protect the reputation of the captain’s wife.

Some uncles and aunts who didn’t get any candy and didn’t help felt very happy after hearing what Qiao Shuling said.

This girl is an officer’s wife, yet she is so polite to them.

Without staying for long, Qiao Shuling went to the mall and bought two sets of pajamas and some fabrics for herself and her two children.

Six sets of pajamas and fabric only cost Qiao Shulingxi ten yuan.

Now is the early stage of reform and opening up, and prices and wage levels are relatively low.

As for the clothes the two babies usually wear, Qiao Shuling plans to take them to the city to buy them next time she has the chance. It doesn’t matter if the pajamas are a little big, but the clothes worn outside still have to fit well.

After buying clothes, Qiao Shuling went to the market and ordered 30 kilograms of pig offal, pig shanks and an extra pig head from the butcher.

The butcher’s eyes lit up. This is a big customer! A big customer!

I bought 20 kilograms of offal yesterday, and today I bought another 30 kilograms!

“Boss, do you have any chickens here? I want to buy one too.”

Qiao Shuling wants to make chicken stewed with mushrooms tonight to nourish the two babies.

The butcher was afraid that this lucrative customer would buy something else later, so he immediately said, “Yes, yes, yes, of course! Miss, it’s thirteen yuan in total. Since you bought so much, I’ll just charge you twelve!”

It would certainly be a good thing for Qiao Shuling, who is not particularly wealthy now, to be able to buy it cheaper.

“Here’s the money. I’ll buy it from you next time.”

The butcher’s shop owner was grinning from ear to ear. If his business was this good every day, he might even be able to buy a house.

This girl is beautiful and does beautiful things.

Qiao Shuling didn’t know that the pig shop owner had put buying a house on the agenda because of her. She put all the pig offal into the space, leaving only a chicken and clothes hanging on the bicycle.

When we returned to the compound, it was gradually getting dark.

As soon as Qiao Shuling rode to the gate of her yard, she heard Wei Guofang arguing with Liang Bao.

“Chuanchuan, you really believe your mother went to the city to buy clothes for you? Does it take so long to buy clothes? I think she doesn’t want you anymore and is going out to find some random guy!”

When Lu Hong was cooking this time, she heard what Wei Guofang said and her face changed instantly. She is now a loyal fan of Qiao Shuling.

“Wei Guofang, you bastard! My mother just went downtown to buy something, and you’ve already said this to me. So your man spends so much time in the city, is he also looking for women to have affairs with?”

Qiao Shuling didn’t expect that Lu Hong’s fighting ability was so strong!

Since she protects her like this, she is determined to be friends with this sister.

The two treasures are not outdone.

“Aunt Wei, if you slander my mother again, I will go to the chief to complain!”

“Aunt Wei, your mouth stinks!”

It was Xie Shengsheng who said Wei Guofang had a bad mouth, and he even fanned his nose with his little hand.

“Hey, you two brats.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Shuling’s frosty voice rang out, “I was wondering why Chuanchuan and Shengsheng thought I was going to abandon them. It turns out you, Sister Wei, were the ones spreading rumors.”

Wei Guofang didn’t expect Qiao Shuling to come back at this time, but looking at Qiao Shuling’s charming face, she remembered how embarrassing she was yesterday!

Her husband even told her mother-in-law that she didn’t wipe her butt.

Her mother-in-law from the countryside called her specifically to scold her.

She said that if she brought shame to her man again, they would get divorced!

Wei Guofang was scolded by her mother-in-law, but she hated Qiao Shuling.

If that bitch Qiao Shuling hadn’t refused to give her toilet paper, would she have gone home with a butt full of shit?

She felt a little guilty at first, but hatred emboldened her. “What kind of rumor are you spreading? I think you’re just having an affair. You went to the city for two days in a row, spending the entire afternoon each time. Who knows what you were doing?”

Qiao Shuling would not let her slander her, “Sister Wei, I bought so many things, are you blind?”

“And I’m not just going today, I’m going tomorrow and the day after tomorrow too. My relatives found me a job selling things in the city, and I’m going to work to help ease the burden on my husband. Why do you have any objections to this?”

Qiao Shuling knew that her frequent outings would definitely be known to these gossipy women, and her stall was in the city, so she would always run into people from the staff housing estate, so she decided to just make things clear today.

When she first started her business, she didn’t want others to know about it, for fear that some petty people would maliciously influence her business if they knew she was making money.

Wei Guofang screamed, “You actually found a job! How did you do that?”

In the family compound, except for a small number of military wives who have jobs, the rest of the military wives basically depend on their men for their lives, and they have no way to find a way to make money.

How did Qiao Shuling, this enchanting vixen, get a job?

Isn’t this a serious job?

Lu Hong spat, “Shu Ling is capable. Do you think everyone else is just a gossip like you?”

Qiao Shuling: “Sister-in-law Wei, I have a good image, a high school degree, and a clear voice. It should be easy for me to find a job selling things for others. You can’t expect others to do this when you can’t do it yourself.”

Xie Chuanchuan is now a die-hard fan of his mother, and his little head keeps nodding.

“That’s right, my mom is so capable, it’s easy for her to find any job!”

Xie Shengsheng followed his brother without thinking, “That’s right, that’s right!”

Well…his eloquence is indeed not as good as Xie Chuanchuan’s. Qiao Shuling even suspected that this little guy was deliberately acting cute.

Wei Guofang was so angry!

Why is it that every time she meets Qiao Shuling these days, she always loses miserably?

At this time, she noticed the chicken in Qiao Shuling’s hand.

That’s a whole chicken!

Seeing the meat, Wei Guofang was extremely greedy.

She swallowed hard.

His attitude immediately became flattering, “Hey, sister Qiao, did you go buy chicken today?”

The speed of the facial changes amazed both Qiao Shuling and Lu Hong.

“Yeah.” Qiao Shuling responded indifferently.

Wei Guofang said with a shameless face, “Can you give me some of your chicken? I don’t want much, just one leg. You know our family is not as well off as yours. If you give me a leg, I will take it back to supplement my diet.”

Qiao Shuling resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

There are such shameless people in this world!
