Chapter 331 Too beautiful to go out

Tang Xiaoyue's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Zhuo Lan, asking, "What did you say about the regimental commander's wife?"

"Chun Tao heard it from the family members. They said that the regimental commander's wife doesn't do housework, just sleeps in every day, and expects to be waited on by the regimental commander. She has a capitalist style."

It was no secret in the regiment that Jiang Peng was the regimental commander's brother-in-law.

Zhuo Lan told this story with the intention of currying favor with Tang Xiaoyue.

"Squad leader, is the regimental commander's wife really like that? She doesn't do any housework at all?"

Tang Xiaoyue coldly retorted, "Nonsense! The regimental commander's wife neither seeks special treatment nor exploits others. Where is her capitalist behavior?"

Zhuo Lan said awkwardly, "It wasn't me who said it, it's just what the family members are saying."

"As soldiers, we must always uphold the discipline and principles of the military, instead of blindly following the crowd like gossipy women."

Seeing that Tang Xiaoyue was serious, Zhuo Lan quickly backed down, "Oh, class monitor, I was wrong, don't be angry, I won't say it again."

Although Zhuolan admitted her mistake, Tang Xiaoyue was still unhappy.

She knew better than anyone how good Jiang Moli was; she was nothing like what her family said, and she certainly wasn't capitalist.

She said to Zhuolan, "You want to know what the commander's wife is like? I can tell you, she is smarter and more capable than any of us, and she is both beautiful and talented. She is cultured, thoughtful, can write articles, can perform, and can teach. Her minor flaws, such as not liking to do housework and liking to sleep in, are like stars and the sun in the face of her talent."

……

"Did the class monitor really say that?"

Inside the guesthouse, Mao Chuntao and two other staff members surrounded Zhuo Lan.

Zhuo Lan nodded and said, "The squad leader said that our regimental commander's wife's shortcomings are like stars, and her strengths are like the sun. Once the sun comes out, all the stars disappear! He also told us that we are not allowed to talk about the regimental commander's wife behind her back anymore, or if she finds out, we will be punished according to discipline."

Sergeant Lai Xuemei said, "I think what the squad leader said makes sense. If the regimental commander's wife didn't have some ability, she wouldn't have been able to get into the military region's cultural troupe."

Mao Chuntao disagreed: "She has a father-in-law who is a high-ranking official, so getting into the cultural troupe is just a matter of a word for her."

"Isn't the squad leader just trying to curry favor with Commander Lu? If it weren't for Officer Jiang's connections, would she have become the squad leader?"

Upon hearing this, all three agreed wholeheartedly.

While despising Tang Xiaoyue for her opportunism, Jiang Moli also developed a dislike for her.

It's clearly capitalist behavior, but they won't let people say it!
Dislike rating +3, 30000 yuan credited.

Jiang Moli had just woken up from her afternoon nap and was leaning on the railing watching the children of the two families on either side play vaulting.

Upon hearing that her dislike points had been credited to her account, she casually summoned the system: "What's the progress of the mission?"

"Mission progress 9919/10000, Host's personal account balance 9919 million yuan. Keep going, Host! You only need to collect 81 more 'dislike points' to complete the mission and return to your original world!"

Jiang Moli: "Before I leave, can I withdraw my mission bonus?"

"That's possible, but in order to maintain the current world economic order, the prize money will be exchanged proportionally based on the purchasing power of the two worlds."

"If I want to buy 10 kilograms of gold here, how much bonus will be deducted?"

385 million.

Jiang Moli has given it serious consideration.

Leaving Jiang Dahai and his son with supplies, such as gold, silver, jade, and stamps, is a safer option than cash. These items are easy to collect and have a greater potential for appreciation over time.

……

That evening, Lu Cheng returned home and discussed with Jiang Moli inviting officers of battalion level and above from the regiment and their families to their home for a meal.

Aside from Zhao Hongbing, Li Lijun, and Sun Jianhua, who had always followed him, Political Commissar Xu Heming, Deputy Regiment Commander Huo Jianhong, and Deng Zilong, the former battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion stationed in Menglong Town, were all people he was dealing with for the first time.

Now that a new team has been formed, as the head of the team, inviting them to dinner is partly to express gratitude for their support, and partly to enhance their relationship and understanding. Lu Cheng earnestly explained the necessity of this to Jiang Moli, "...Now that you're here, take this opportunity to meet your sisters-in-law; you'll inevitably have to deal with them in the future."

Jiang Moli had no objection to this. "When do you plan to have dinner?"

"Let's wait a couple of days. You've just arrived, so take a break first and get all the things you're missing from the house. Don't worry about hosting the guests. Just write down the menu, and I'll have the cooks prepare it and bring it straight to your house."

Jiang Moli replied, "No need, I'll cook."

Lu Cheng looked at her and said, "Cooking for so many people is no easy task."

"That's easy. We can just ask Sister-in-law Sun and Sister-in-law Chen to come over and help. There's always a way to overcome difficulties."

Hearing that she had made all the arrangements, Lu Cheng no longer objected.

the next day.

Jiang Moli got up early, ate breakfast, and was about to take a stroll in town when she ran into Chen Guihua and several family members, who were carrying baskets and carrying baskets on their backs, looking like they were going out together.

Chen Guihua greeted her warmly, "Oh, little Jiang, you're up early today. Are you going to the market?"

Jiang Moli looked at the group and asked, "Is there a market around here? Is it far?"

"Yes, there's a big market every 3rd, 6th, and 9th of the month. It's in the neighboring town of Daluo. You can take a bus there, it only takes an hour or so. We're on our way now, why don't you come with us?"

“It’s in the next town, I don’t dare go there.”

Chen Guihua looked at her with a puzzled expression, "Why don't you dare to go?"

Jiang Moli touched her face and sighed, "I'm too beautiful to go out."

Chen Guihua and several family members were speechless.

Whether she's beautiful or not is another matter, but she's really shameless.

"Then you should stay home and behave yourself."

After Chen Guihua finished speaking, she was about to call the others to leave when she heard Jiang Moli change her mind: "But with so many of you, nothing should happen. I'll go with you to take a look."

Chen Guihua didn't say anything, lent her a bamboo basket, and led her out the door.

I took the bus and swayed along until I arrived at the neighboring town of Daluo.

Located on the border, adjacent to Myanmar and Thailand, Dalo Town is an important port at the junction of the three countries. It is not subject to domestic economic control, so trade is very prosperous.

Upon entering the market, the surging crowds and dazzling array of goods are overwhelming. Stalls line both sides of the road, stretching for miles from one end to the other.

Jiang Moli stopped in front of a tableware stall and selected ten bamboo bowls and ten bamboo cups.

After agreeing on a price, Jiang Moli pointed to the bamboo chopsticks on the stall and asked, "Boss, can I get ten pairs of chopsticks for free?"

The stall owner readily agreed.

Bamboo is everywhere here, and every household knows how to make chopsticks, so the chopsticks on the stalls can't be sold.

After counting the chopsticks, Jiang Moli then set her sights on the rice scoops. "Could you throw in a few more scoops, boss?"

The stall owner's face darkened considerably.

Although the bamboo spoon is also worthless, they're offering it along with chopsticks—it's like they're trying to take advantage of you!

Before he could refuse, Jiang Moli had already picked up the bamboo fork again. "Can I have a few more bamboo forks?"

The stall owner's face darkened completely. "You're only buying this little bit of stuff, and you're offering this and that as freebies? I might as well just give you my whole stall for free!"

"Oh, you're such a kind person, stall owner! Thank you."

As Jiang Moli spoke, she bent down happily and began to pack her things.
