Chapter 143 Want a Grandson
the weather is nice today.

Jiang Moli borrowed a needle and thread from Tang Xiaoyue, strung the mushrooms together, and hung them under the eaves on one side of the balcony.

By the time she returns from her visit, these mushrooms will probably be almost dry.

"Little Yueyue, is there anything fun to do around here?"

Tang Xiaoyue's face flushed as Jiang Moli called her "Little Yueyue." "If you want to play, you can only go to town, but don't go alone."

Border security is poor, and there are many bad people. Young and beautiful women like Jiang Moli are easily targeted.

Jiang Moli rested her chin on her hand and said, "Then come with me, and I'll treat you to something delicious."

Tang Xiaoyue blushed and shook her head. "We can't go out on our own; we need permission from our superiors. Besides, the oxcart has already left at this time."

There's only one oxcart to town each day; if you miss it, you either have to walk or wait until the next day.

After chatting with Tang Xiaoyue for a while and confirming the safe area around them, Jiang Moli put on her straw hat and went out.

The troops and their families are basically self-sufficient in food.

Centered on the camp, various kinds of farmland are scattered in all directions.

Most of the farmland belonged to the military, and the soldiers had to work in the fields every day except for training and missions.

In addition to farmland, the military also has pig farms and vegetable gardens.

In addition to providing housing, the military also allocates land to families who are willing to engage in productive labor, and encourages them to cultivate the land themselves.

The military not only waives taxes on land that the soldiers cultivate themselves, but also provides them with seeds and fertilizer as rewards.

In the distance, several women were picking peanuts in the field.

Peanuts have extensive roots, so some are always missed during harvest.

After the harvest, family members can go down into the field and scavenge whatever they find; whatever they find is theirs.

Someone saw Jiang Moli walking towards them and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't that the new bride of the Second Regiment's Army Battalion?"

The women who were picking peanuts together all looked up.

"It's really her."

Jiang Moli greeted them with a smile, "What are you all busy with?"

"Not busy at all, just doing some casual fun."

A woman replied to her, looking her up and down.

She is good-looking; her eyes are eyes, and her nose is a nose.

No wonder Battalion Commander Lu dotes on her like a precious jewel, sending her food and drink every day.

Jiang Moli went down to the field and walked up to the woman who had answered her. "Picking peanuts? Not bad, you've picked almost half a basketful. Can I have some?"

Before the other party could agree, its claws had already reached into the basket and grabbed half a handful.

"thank you."

"..."

I told you to eat it, so just take it!
He rolled his eyes at her retreating figure, but ultimately didn't ask for the peanuts back.

If word gets out, people will laugh at me for being stingy.

"Disdain value +1, 10000 yuan credited."

Jiang Moli found a shady spot, quickly finished the peanuts in her hand, and then went back down to the field.

"Come on, let me see who picked up the most peanuts. Whoever picked up the most, I'll eat theirs."

A group of women: "..."

A woman instinctively covered her basket with a handkerchief, which Jiang Moli noticed. "Ah, you must have picked up the most. Why did you hide it? Were you afraid I would see it?"

The man said sheepishly, "You can pick any peanuts you like from this field. Just bring a basket and pick them if you want."

"Although I love to eat, I'm lazy. It's so tiring to squat in the ground picking peanuts under this scorching sun."

So you know picking peanuts is tiring, but you're not stingy at all when it comes to freeloading.

"Disdain value +2, 20000 yuan credited."

Someone couldn't help but criticize her: "You really are just like your stepsister said, young but lazy and good-for-nothing!"

Jiang Moli wasn't ashamed at all; on the contrary, she was proud: "She's right. I've been lazy since I was little and never do any housework at home. She's different from me. She's been diligent since she was little, so I let her do all the housework. If you have any unfinished work in the future, you can ask her for help. She's kind, warm-hearted, and loves to work."

They're lazy and yet so self-righteous; they're incredibly shameless!

"Disdain value +3, 30000 yuan credited."

Having earned enough "dislike points," Jiang Moli patted her behind and left.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to grab a handful of peanuts.

The woman whose peanuts she was picking stared at her back, her lips moving silently, clearly cursing venomously.

As the sun rose higher and the temperature gradually increased, Jiang Moli prepared to return to the guesthouse to rest.

As I passed through the residential area, I ran into Jiang Wenjuan, who was chatting with someone.

"Xiao Jiang, where have you been wandering around?"

"Just taking a stroll. Sister Wenjuan, want some peanuts? A few ladies over there gave them to me."

"No, thank you."

Jiang Wenjuan didn't take the peanuts, but she smiled happily.

It was a rare opportunity to run into an acquaintance, so Jiang Moli wasn't in a hurry to go back. "What are you chatting about? You seem to be having a good time."

Jiang Wenjuan smiled broadly: "When we talked about the children's schooling, we used to have to go to school in town, which was too far away. Now that we have our own school, it is much more convenient for the children to go to school."

"What's the use of studying so much? They're just a few girls."

The one who complained was an elderly woman in her sixties.

Jiang Wenjuan advised the other party: "Aunt Guo, whether it's a girl or a boy, aren't they all your own grandchildren? If they study hard and become successful in the future, you will be proud of them too."

Jiang Moli looked at the several granddaughters who looked like gourd babies next to Grandma Guo and laughed: "Grandma, it's easy for you to want a grandson."

Jiang Wenjuan and Grandma Guo were both looking at her.

Grandma Guo's eyes burned with desire. "What's wrong, girl? Do you have a miraculous secret to having a child?"

Secrets to conceiving a child?

Several family members who were passing by also swarmed around.

Jiang Moli pointed to the papaya in Grandma Guo's basket, "Give me a papaya to eat, and I'll tell you."

Perhaps because she wanted a grandson so much, Grandma Guo picked out the biggest one and gave it to her without saying a word.

Jiang Moli tossed the papaya around and said to her, "Look around and see which family has a lot of grandchildren. Just ask them for one."

Grandma Guo's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "What would I do with someone else's grandson?"

"You want a grandson, don't you? Other people's grandsons are still grandsons."

"You, you liar! Give me back my papaya!"

"How did I lie to you? Didn't I tell you all the ways to get a grandson?"

"What kind of bullshit is this? Are you kidding me?"

Several family members who had come to join in the fun also looked down on Jiang Moli with disdain and contempt.

Honestly, what a waste of their time!

"Disdain value +5, 50000 yuan credited."

Upon hearing that the value of the complaint had been credited to her account, Jiang Moli returned the papaya to the other party.

She doesn't like papaya at all; she always thinks it has a strange, smelly odor.

After getting the papaya back, Grandma Guo left with her granddaughters, still grumbling.

Jiang Wenjuan looked at Jiang Moli, both amused and exasperated, "Little Jiang, you really are good at talking nonsense."

"She was born of a woman herself, she's a woman too, yet she looks down on girls, what a piece of trash!"

Hearing her say that, Jiang Wenjuan and several family members put away their contempt and dissatisfaction.

Women already have a hard time in this world. If you look down on maids, isn't that the same as demeaning them?

At noon, Lu Cheng came back from getting lunch and saw peanuts on the table, so he casually peeled one and ate it.

Where did the peanuts come from?

Jiang Moli rested her chin on her hand and looked at him, "Is it delicious?"

"good to eat."

"Then you can eat them all."

Lu Cheng's eyes shone brightly, "You specially saved this for me?"

"If there's food to eat, just eat. Why ask so many questions?"

It was definitely saved for him; his wife was too shy to say it.

He understands.

Lu Cheng peeled and ate peanuts while looking at her happily, "Do you have time tonight?"

Jiang Moli raised her hand and tucked a stray hair behind her ear: "These things don't necessarily have to wait until tonight."

Lu Cheng paused in his chewing of peanuts.
