Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 188 Why not make money even if there's no opportunity?

Even before returning home, Lu An had heard many stories about Jiang Moli from his wife.

Without exception, all of them were negative news.

As a result, he had absolutely no expectations or goodwill towards his third sister-in-law.

But today, after meeting Jiang Moli in person, I saw her poised and generous manner, her witty and humorous remarks at the dinner table, and her ability to handle any topic, from family matters to current affairs and people's livelihoods, with ease.

His opinion of Jiang Moli changed drastically.

Come to think of it, my third brother is so picky, how could he possibly marry a woman who is utterly useless?

In the courtyard, Fann Wong and Xu Xiuzhen each took a basket and picked vegetables from the garden.

Picking a basketful and bringing it home can save you money on groceries for several days.

Watching Jiang Moli leave with her things, Xu Xiuzhen couldn't help but whisper to Fan Wenfang:
"Mom is good to my third brother's wife. The things that An brought back, his father-in-law hasn't even had a chance to eat yet, but my third brother's father-in-law has already eaten them."

She wasn't being petty by saying that her mother-in-law shouldn't have given the things to the Jiang family.

Instead, she genuinely felt that of the three daughters-in-law, her mother-in-law doted on Jiang Moli the most.

Although her mother-in-law constantly criticized Jiang Moli for this and that.

But the intimacy in his tone made it seem as if he treated Jiang Moli like a daughter.

Fann Wong scoffed, "That's her skill. If you admire her, you can learn from her."

Fann Wong's words were not sarcastic at all, but rather a genuine expression of admiration for Jiang Moli's character and conduct.

They are all daughters-in-law, and it is already very difficult for them to get along well with their mothers-in-law.

Jiang Moli had only been married into the family for three months, but she had already won over her mother-in-law completely.

Whether it's her natural charm or her cunning and skillful tactics, it's all part of Jiang Moli's abilities.

Xu Xiuzhen found it uninteresting and changed the subject:
“Tingting will be 20 soon. Sister-in-law, you should start thinking about marriage. Don’t let her end up like the second daughter of the Chen family, who is too picky and not good enough for anyone, and is still unmarried at 23.”

“I have a good candidate in mind, and I plan to take Tingting to meet her after she graduates.”

Hearing Fann Wong say that, Xu Xiuzhen curiously inquired about the man's background.

Upon hearing that he was a surgeon at the Municipal People's Hospital and came from a prestigious family, Xu Xiuzhen praised the young man as a promising talent, but in her heart she had other plans.

She brought up this topic because she wanted to act as a matchmaker for her nephew.

My nephew is 22 years old this year. He graduated from a vocational school and teaches mathematics at the No. 1 Middle School in the city.

Putting aside family background, he and Lu Tingting are quite a good match in terms of age and appearance.

But there's no rush. That surgeon is so qualified; he might not even be interested in Lu Tingting.

……

On her way to the military family compound, Jiang Moli saw a grocery store selling fruit and went inside.

"Boss, how much are the bananas?"

"4 cents a pound."

"Are they sold separately? I'll buy three."

Three sticks were a bit few, but the boss still agreed.

The bananas were transported from another province and were much more expensive than local fruits, so most families couldn't afford to eat them.

The shopkeeper took out a small knife to cut some for Jiang Moli. "Which three do you want?"

"I can do it myself. Do you have parchment paper? I'll wrap the banana in it."

Although she wondered why bananas would be wrapped in oil paper, the shopkeeper still gave her one.

Just then, a customer came in to buy soy sauce, so the owner turned around and went back to work.

"Boss, weigh the bananas."

"coming."

After seeing off the customers who had just come to buy soy sauce, the owner came to the fruit stall and stared at the bananas in Jiang Moli's hand, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Three peeled banana segments were neatly arranged on parchment paper.

"I haven't even weighed the bananas yet, why have you already peeled them?"

Jiang Moli replied, "I'll buy the banana flesh, I don't want the peel."

"No way, how can you do this? Is this how you buy bananas?"

"I asked you, and you said I could buy them separately. The skin is too heavy to eat, so buying just the meat inside is much more cost-effective." The shopkeeper was so angry he was about to grab a weapon: "Are you out of your mind? Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

Jiang Moli picked up the three banana peels and said, "Never mind, let's weigh them together. I guess I'm just unlucky."

"You're unlucky? I'm the unlucky one, okay? I ran into a weirdo like you, buying bananas but not the peels. You're a real genius!"

The boss grumbled as he weighed out bananas for Jiang Moli.

After paying for the bananas, Jiang Moli looked at the pomelos on the fruit shelf and asked, "Boss, how much are the pomelos?"

"Not for sale."

"I sincerely want to buy it."

"roll!"

"You're not going to make money even if you have the chance?"

"I'll make money off you... "

The boss extended warm greetings to Jiang Moli's ancestors for eighteen generations.

"Disdain value +1, 10000 yuan credited."

……

Jiang Dahai and Li Hongying were having dinner.

Hearing the knock, Jiang Dahai got up and opened the door, and was both surprised and delighted to see Jiang Moli outside.

Li Hongying hurriedly went to get Jiang Moli a bowl and chopsticks, but when she heard Jiang Moli say that she had already eaten dinner, she poured her a glass of water.

After closing the door, Jiang Dahai looked at his daughter with delight: "You little rascal, when did you get back?"

Although she's lost weight and gotten darker, she looks to be in good spirits, so she probably hasn't suffered much.

"I just got back today. Here, this is something your mother-in-law asked me to bring back for you. It's a local specialty that Lu Cheng's second brother brought back from Ning City."

After Jiang Dahai received the items, he immediately pulled out the bananas he had bought.

"Here, these are the bananas you like. I bought them especially for you."

Jiang Dahai blinked at the three smooth banana segments, puzzled: "Where's the banana peel?"

Jiang Moli blinked: "What, you like to eat it with the skin on? Okay, I'll bring the skin back to you next time too."

Jiang Dahai picked up a banana and ate it, thinking to himself, "Could this banana have been 'stolen' from its mother's house? Otherwise, why wouldn't it have a peel? It's so strange."

The remaining two bananas were given to Jiang Moli and Li Hongying, one each.

After finishing the bananas, Jiang Moli chatted with Jiang Dahai about tractor hydraulic technology.

Although she was a complete novice when it came to mechanical things, with the system as her cheating tool, she quickly and clearly explained the parts that Jiang Dahai couldn't figure out in just a few words.

Jiang Dahai looked at her with a puzzled expression: "How do you know all this?"

Jiang Moli remained calm and composed, saying, "I was just making things up."

Jiang Dahai: “…”

If he can guess right by just making random guesses, then what about all those all-nighters he's been doing these past few days?
Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Moli prepared to go back to her husband's family home.

As usual, Jiang Dahai offered to escort her, worried that it wouldn't be safe for her to walk alone at night.

Li Hongying volunteered, "I'll take Jasmine back."

Jiang Dahai looked at Jiang Moli and, seeing that she had no objections, agreed.

On the way back, Li Hongying would ask her how she and Lu Cheng were getting along, and then she would ask about Zhang Jiaming.

Seeing that they were almost at the military compound, Li Hongying didn't get to the point, so Jiang Moli spoke up first:
"Aunt Hongying, just tell me what's wrong. I might not be able to help."

Li Hongying's eyes reddened, and she grabbed her hand, choking back tears: "Jasmine, please help Xiaoqing! She's been locked up by the Zhang family."

Hearing that there was some juicy gossip, Jiang Moli became interested: "Tell me what happened in detail."

Jiang Dahai refused to get involved in his daughter's affairs, so Li Hongying had to go to the Zhang family herself to plead for her.

When I got there, I found out that my daughter had been locked up with a dog leash by the Zhang family.

She went to the Zhang family several times, and the Zhang family did not stop her from seeing her daughter, but they refused to let her go no matter what.

　I have to go out, another update will be tomorrow :)
