Chapter 9

“I warn you, don’t push your luck,” Shen Beichuan said in a low voice with sharp eyes, “You can have some pocket money, but remember, you are not allowed to buy a train ticket back to Shanghai.”

She nodded in obedience: “I know, how can I bear to leave you, Brother Beichuan…”

Shen Beichuan’s face turned pale when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, he coldly stuffed the money into her hand, turned around and walked out: “Don’t call me Brother Beichuan anymore, be careful of being struck by lightning.”

Sheng Huan held the stack of money, smiling like a cat stealing fish, and did not forget to shout at Shen Beichuan’s back:

“Hey, Brother Beichuan, do you really not like what you hear… or are you just saying one thing and thinking another…”

Qin Chaoyang was stunned watching from the side, and he didn’t come back to his senses until Shen Beichuan walked away, and then he gave Sheng Huan a thumbs up.

“Sister-in-law, you are really amazing. Boss Shen can’t handle your tricks at all.”

Sheng Huan winked at Qin Zhaoyang proudly and waved the Great Unity in his hand:

“That’s called being able to bend and stretch. If you want to live, you have to use your brain.”

Qin Chaoyang couldn’t help but laugh, and sighed in his heart: Sheng Huan’s emotional intelligence and methods are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Sheng Huan looked at the money in his hand and started thinking about what to buy first.

Egg cake, pork, vanishing cream, snacks…

No, I have to buy these. Of course, the most urgent thing is to buy a ticket back to Shanghai, but I don’t have a letter of introduction.

“Qin Chaoyang, please write me a letter of introduction. I want to go back to my mother’s home in Shanghai. I want to go back to see my parents.”

When Qin Chaoyang heard Sheng Huan’s words, his expression changed instantly. It’s not like he didn’t hear what Shen Beichuan said just now!

Asking him to help with a letter of introduction now would mean he would go against Shen Beichuan. Even if he had a hundred courages, it would not be enough.

The man waved his hands repeatedly as if he had seen a ghost.

“Sister-in-law, don’t make fun of me! I heard what Brother Chen said clearly, and I still want to live a few more years!”

After saying that, he jumped as fast as a rabbit, as if there was a flood or a beast chasing him from behind.

Sheng Huan held the big stack of unity, squinted his eyes and watched Qin Chaoyang’s fleeing back, humming softly: “Run faster than a rabbit.”

She tapped her lips with her fingers, looked leisurely into the distance, and secretly thought about the plan of returning to Shanghai.

Now it is 1980 and various policies have been introduced. If she returns to Shanghai to develop at this time, she will be able to live a good material life in a few years.

Although she cannot buy a train ticket back home without a letter of introduction, this does not stop her from enjoying her current life.

She took a shower first. Her body was probably sticky because she was drunk yesterday and slept naked without taking a shower.

As she sat in the chair and applied perfume, she suddenly realized an important issue.

Sheng Huan lowered her head to look at her measurements again, then glanced at her delicate little face in the mirror. It was impossible for a man to sleep with his arms around her without any reaction. The only possibility was that he was inhumane.

He also said that even if she took off all her clothes, he would not react. Isn’t this a subtle way of expressing that he is inhumane?

Tsk tsk…..he looks like a wild donkey, but he is actually useless.

Sheng Huan sneered, feeling a little regretful. Fortunately, he was a soldier with good treatment and gave her a lot of pocket money, otherwise she would not be willing to live with him.

She had originally been thinking of seducing him into bed, but it seemed unnecessary.

After taking a shower, Sheng Huan thought to herself: first use the money to buy something delicious, and then dress up nicely.

You have to live your life smartly to shut up those gossipy women in this housing estate.

She sat down in front of the mirror, combing her hair slowly, and took the money Shen Beichuan gave her, using part of it to buy egg cakes and part of it to buy rouge and powder.

As a woman, the first thing you need to do is take care of yourself. When your complexion improves, you will also have the vigor.

The news that she slapped Li Minhua twice yesterday has spread throughout the staff quarters.

The gossips were nothing more than “Sheng Huan is such a hot-tempered little girl” and “The new bride has a bad temper”, but she didn’t care.

Anyway, she is just staying here for a short period of time and will have to go back to Shanghai sooner or later. Why should she bother with these people?

What’s more, it was Li Minhua who made herself embarrassed and dared to question her innocence in public. Although she did not have the memories of the original owner, even if she was not innocent, she would not allow others to expose her shortcomings in public.

She felt that there were some things that she had to take action to resolve, lest others really treat her as an easy target.

As she was thinking, Sheng Huan suddenly laughed out loud, put on some makeup, and her face instantly became rosy and bright.

She looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction and made a face at herself.

She stood up, shook her skirt, and prepared to go out.

Just as she stepped out of the door, she suddenly heard some deliberately suppressed discussions in the yard downstairs. It was vaguely the family members whispering about her.

Sheng Huan raised her eyebrows slightly, walked to the corridor fence, looked down at those people, and said in a leisurely tone: “What’s going on? Are we going to hold a ‘criticism meeting’ in the family compound today?”

Several people were stunned, looked at each other, and dispersed with awkward smiles.

Sheng Huan had just walked out of the dormitory building and was thinking about his next plan when he bumped into three aggressive women after taking a few steps.

The middle-aged woman in the lead wore a blue gown, black trousers, had shoulder-length hair, and held a folder under her armpit. She walked with a breeze, and was followed by two “left and right bodyguards,” one on the left and one on the right, like a guard team.

The aunt stood in front of her with a serious face and raised her eyebrows: “Are you Sheng Huan? Captain Shen’s wife?”

Sheng Huan glanced at the scene, laughed inwardly, and smiled politely without being humble or arrogant.

“Yes, I am Captain Shen’s wife, Sheng Huan. Do you have anything to talk to me about?”

The aunt didn’t hesitate to tell everyone her identity and purpose.

It turned out that Li Minhua did not go to the organization to complain, but instead secretly went to the family committee to complain about her, saying that she was unreasonable and beat people.

This time, three representatives from the Family Committee came, intending to “educate” her and help her “correct” her thinking.

Sheng Huan almost couldn’t help laughing after hearing this. Li Minhua really took a detour and went to the Family Committee.

She was sure that Li Minhua would not dare to report the matter because she did make inappropriate remarks, but she never thought that she could go to the family committee to do some ideological work for her.

Well, after being slapped in public, Li Minhua was very proud. If she didn’t make some noise, how could she stay in the staff quarters in the future.

But Sheng Huan is not someone who can be PUA by everyone. She is not going to accept it easily. She rolled her eyes and asked with a somewhat “innocent” look on her face:

“Beating someone? Oh, sister, you make it sound so serious, how come I don’t remember who I beat?”

Sister Wang had obviously prepared the words long ago, and said in a serious tone with a straight face:

“Comrade Sheng, the masses reported that you had inappropriate behavior yesterday. The family committee has the responsibility to educate you ideologically. I hope you will deeply realize your mistakes!”

Sheng Huan raised her eyebrows. This official tone was of no use to her.

She smiled and said, “Oh, Sister Wang, it’s just a misunderstanding! I didn’t mean to hit anyone. With my weak hands, I was just giving Director Li a massage to relax him!” As she spoke, she raised her hand and pretended to rub her shoulders.

The two “guardians” couldn’t hold it back, their mouth corners twitched, and they almost laughed out loud.

Seeing this, Sister Wang’s face darkened, she coughed, and said seriously: “Don’t quibble, be serious!”

Sheng Huan frowned, smiled, and nodded in agreement:

“Of course, I have always been very upright! How about this, the elder sisters, please be busy first, I will go to Director Li and elder sister Li another day, and give her a ‘press’ in person, so that our ‘exchange of ideas’ can be more in-depth, how do you think?”

“……” Sister Wang was very angry at Sheng Huan’s attitude, her eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to give her a practical lesson of “deep ideological education”.

But Sheng Huan always had a polite and courteous smile on his face, which made it impossible for Sister Wang to find any excuse to get angry.

The two “guardians” standing on the left and right felt the scene was a bit awkward and quickly gave Sister Wang a look.

Sister Wang coughed, trying to steady herself, but her throat became dry and she coughed more awkwardly.
