Chapter 44 My sister-in-law is the wife of a living Yama!
Zhu Jing greeted Wen Ci warmly, and while speaking, she took an egg from the side and handed it to Wen Ci, saying with a smile, "Have an egg."

Wen Ci shook her head in refusal: "That's not appropriate, Sister Jing."

The canteen in the Northwest Military Region only gives out eggs for free every Monday morning. It's not Monday now, so she can't accept Sister Jing's eggs.

Zhu Jing explained, "These eggs are from the free-range chickens my husband raises at home. We don't use the eggs from the cafeteria. These eggs are especially nutritious."

Upon hearing Zhu Jing's words, Wen Ci remembered that Sister Jing's husband was from Lijiazhuang, which was not far from the Northwest Military Region and had about a hundred households.

Wen Ci shook her head and refused: "Give it to your mischievous little monkey."

Zhu Jing's son, Xiao Pi Hou, is just starting second grade. He's thin and small, and since he's at a crucial stage of growth, free-range eggs are nutritious and should be saved for him.

“Pihou has some.” She said, shoving it into Wen Ci’s hands, then ladled out a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns and handed them to her, her face beaming with a happy smile: “I have a salary now, and I boil an egg for Pihou every day.”

In the past, the family barely made ends meet on the husband's salary alone.

Now that she's the head chef at the military canteen, her salary is even higher than her husband's.

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Wen Ci smiled and looked at Zhu Jing, saying slowly, "Then thank you, Sister Jing."

After dinner, Wen Ci arrived at the hospital. Just as she was about to go upstairs to change clothes and take over her shift, she ran into the nurse and Yu Qing, whom she had been chatting with the day before, on the first floor.

The eyes of the group were filled with gossip.

Yu Qing took the initiative to ask, "Comrade Wen Ci, is that living devil next door really your husband?"

“Uh…” Wen Ci hesitated whether to admit it or not, when Xue Li’s excited voice came from beside her: “Yes, she is! Your husband is a living devil.”

"..." Wen Ci was speechless. "Why are you everywhere?"

Xue Li smiled.

Yesterday, he came to the hospital but couldn't get his comrade's medication. After his shift ended, only the night shift doctors and nurses were available, and he didn't know what medications had been prescribed during the day. He could only come to get the medication after morning training.

Wen Ci nodded and admitted, "My husband is Huo Jingyuan."

This wasn't something worth keeping from everyone; she just didn't want to cause any trouble, after all, Huo Jingyuan was a regimental commander in the Northwest.

Suddenly, Su Wanqing passed by, her previously dull eyes immediately lighting up when she saw Xue Li. She grabbed his arm and asked, "Captain Xue, do you know who Brother Huo's wife is?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Wanqing continued, "Aren't you Brother Huo's comrade-in-arms? You should know who his wife is, right?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Wen Ci, and no one dared to speak without her permission.

Seeing this, Yu Qing quickly said, "Let's take over the shift and go to work."

Wen Ci's gaze lingered on Su Wanqing for a moment. So that's why she came back from abroad for Huo Jingyuan. He looked away and said indifferently, "Do you know what use his wife is?"

“It’s useful, of course it’s useful. Brother Huo and I grew up together, he must have married her to fulfill Grandpa Huo’s last wish.”

I want to persuade them to get a divorce.

Wen Ci: "..."

What a clever way to 'advise' them to get a divorce.

If the original owner of this body were someone with little education, raised in the countryside, and possessing a sexy yet humble personality, she might very well choose divorce when faced with a woman like Su Wanqing who is straightforward about relationships.

But she wasn't the original owner.

Wen Ci lazily lifted his eyelids, his dark eyes falling on her, and calmly said, word by word, "What, Dr. Su, are you trying to persuade me to get a divorce?"
