Chapter 19

As soon as she went out, she met her neighbor, Sister Ding.

Sister Ding was in her twenties, with a shaved head, a few patches on her clothes, and her shoes were washed white, but overall, she was very clean.

When she saw Song Shuqian, she smiled shyly, “Hello, sister-in-law.”

She spoke haltingly, and it was obvious that

she was very shy. If this were in her previous life, Song Shuqian would respect other people’s discomfort and let her leave. But now she has no one available, and she is still in a place where she is unfamiliar with. Song Shuqian urgently needs to integrate here.

Sister Ding has been here for a long time, and she will be a good guide.

Song Shuqian blinked her big eyes, “Why do you call me sister-in-law? My Wei Jianguo is 22 years old this year. What about yours?”

Sister Ding…

It is said outside that Captain Wei’s wife is not easy to get along with. She looks down on the wife of a soldier from the countryside and also looks down on the identity of a wife of a soldier.

Now it seems that this is not the case.

“Because Captain Wei is the battalion commander, my husband is a soldier under the battalion. In the compound, we all call the wives of soldiers with higher positions than our husband’s “sister-in-law”, and those with lower positions than our own “brother-in-law”. This is a customary rule.”

Song Shuqian concluded, “I am the number one among men, and you are the number one among women.

” “Yes, that’s it, and you have to be educated.”

In just a few words, Sister Ding’s true colors were exposed, and the tension just now disappeared.

Song Shuqian smiled, “Their rules are really weird and embarrassing. I am young, and before I got married, I was called my brother, sister, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law everywhere. I am not used to hearing someone call me sister-in-law. We are the same age, so let’s call each other by our names. My name is Song Shuqian, and yours?”

“My name is Ding Dahua,” Sister Ding was a little embarrassed.

“Sister Ding, I want to go to the military service center. I don’t have anything at home, so I have to buy everything. How do I get to the service center?”

“I want to go to the service center too, you can come with me,” Sister Ding was a little embarrassed.

Song Shuqian smiled and agreed.

Although Song Shuqian didn’t know how to get along with the sisters-in-law in the compound, she could still do it when it came to individuals. Just go along with what she said, keep boundaries, and don’t show off your life.

After getting familiar with her, she found that Sister Ding was a talkative person, and her inferiority and timidity were because she was unfamiliar with her.

Sister Ding is 24 years old this year and has 4 children, the oldest is 7 years old and the youngest is 2 years old. Her husband has just reached the company level and has just reached the standard of accompanying the army.

The couple got married at the age of 16, and then she, a woman, lived alone in her husband’s family. She had to compete with the whole family for limited resources and work to earn food. A woman’s life was more tiring than a man. Her temper became more and more aggressive.

Her husband could only stay for 5 days each time he went home to visit his family, and all the big and small things at home depended on her alone.

The in-laws have also been trying to get money.

A woman with 4 children, the hardships can be imagined.

Song Shuqian admired her.

At home, she was a very shrewd young wife. When she came to the family compound, she found that she was ten years older than her peers. She could not understand what everyone said at all, so she became inferior and sensitive.

In addition, they had to pay 15 yuan of pension money to their hometown every month, and they lived a tight life.

Poor couples have many sorrows.

The two have been married for 7 years, and the time they have seen each other is less than 2 months in total. Two unfamiliar people, and four hungry children, quarrels seem to have become normal.

This strong woman was slowly bent by life.

Song Shuqian sympathized with Ding’s wife. She was a microcosm of many rural military wives.

If you are rich, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you can only take care of yourself.

Song Shuqian now relies on Wei Jianguo to live, and she has no ability to help others. She doesn’t know how to help. These things require the authorities to step in and change the status quo of rural military wives and the treatment of soldiers.

It will take decades to complete.

The Military Service Society

is a relatively special supply and marketing cooperative, mainly selling daily necessities. Some goods do not require tickets, but are limited, and each family has a specified number every month.

Song Shuqian and her family had just moved in, and they hadn’t received their monthly supply yet.

She said goodbye to Ding’s wife and went to collect their monthly supply. Then she bought some necessities such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

By the way, Song Shuqian bought two more large teacups for guests.

Song Shuqian’s temperament was there. She had never lacked money in her previous life or this life. Although she had tried to keep a low profile, she was still seen as a spendthrift woman who didn’t know how to live in the eyes of others.

People around have already started to whisper:

“That’s the new wife of the second battalion commander Wei Jianguo. You can tell from her that she’s not a hard worker.”

“She’s so skinny. What can you do with those arms?”

“You’re buying so many things. You’re wasting money.”

“Shh, keep your voice down. She’s not easy to mess with. Ma Caoya and the other two were defeated by her yesterday.”

“No way. She’s so skinny. How can she deal with those three hooligans?”

“They didn’t even have a quarrel. They went straight to Political Commissar Xu. Sister He was so angry.”

“Tsk, she’s so seductive. Can the soldiers train well in the future?”

“Look at her. The second battalion commander must have worked hard.”

Song Shuqian now feels that it’s not a good thing that her five senses are too sensitive. She can be embarrassed to death by what these people say.

I really don’t know how they say such embarrassing things.

Song Shuqian is now very fortunate that she just be herself from the beginning and didn’t pretend to be a poor person. Otherwise, she doesn’t know how she will live in the future.

She can’t pretend.

Ignoring everyone’s whispers, Song Shuqian bought the things with an expressionless face and went home as if escaping.

When she got home and locked the gate, she felt alive again.

Nowadays, people rarely lock their doors. They just hang a ring on the door from the outside. Song Shuqian pays great attention to her privacy and does not believe in human nature, so not only the courtyard door but also the door and kitchen are locked.
