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

Chapter 341 Extra Chapter 02: Material Exchange
Jiang Peng carried two large sacks on his shoulders and strode quickly toward Jiang Moli's residence, drawing stares from the residents of the family compound.

"Officer Jiang, are you delivering something to your sister again?"

"Yes, it was just sent from my hometown."

The family members clicked their tongues in astonishment: "Didn't they just send two batches of things a few days ago? And now they've sent another one?"

“The first two times, they were sent by my dad and brother-in-law’s family. This time, it was sent by Deputy Director Yang of the military region’s cultural troupe. Deputy Director Yang and my sister are very close friends.”

After Jiang Peng carried the sacks away, several family members huddled together and whispered among themselves.

"Given her lazy and gluttonous nature, how did she manage to build a relationship with the leaders of the cultural troupe?"

"You can tell they're lucky. They don't have to do anything and can just sit back and enjoy life. Just these packages they've sent over the past few days are enough to last until the New Year."

Even though they've said "I'm envious" countless times, the thought of the Lu family's mountains of food and possessions still makes them incredibly envious.

……

It took Jiang Moli two days to sort through the packages she received. The list alone was five pages long, enough to open a small shop.

After tidying up, she went out to the town post office to call home.

"Mom, I've received everything you sent. On behalf of the kids, I thank you for your love and care as their grandma."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Jiang Moli realized she had let something slip.

An Hui was so pleased by Jiang Moli's address of "Dear Grandma" that she didn't even realize something was amiss.

"It's good that you received the items. Take good care of yourself over there. Call home if you need anything."

"Okay. Mom, how are you and Dad? I've been missing you both so much while I was in Menglong. And Auntie, I've been craving her spicy crayfish lately, my mouth is watering just thinking about it."

Ma Hongmei and Lu Tingting were both at home, and they were currently holding their ears to the microphone.

Hearing Jiang Moli's thoughts and longing for them, An Hui and Ma Hongmei both looked gratified and content.

Affection level +2, 20000 yuan received.

Damn woman, how could you forget about her?

Lu Tingting was secretly annoyed when she heard Jiang Moli mention her: "Where's Tingting? I still have some old scores to settle with her."

Lu Tingting's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly mouthed to An Hui: "Say I'm not here."

An Hui glanced at her. "Tingting said she's not here."

Lu Tingting: “…”

Jiang Moli on the other end of the phone said, "I'll keep track of the bill for her, and we'll settle it with her when I get back."

"Fine, fine. You think I'm afraid of you?"

Lu Tingting snapped at the phone, but her mood inexplicably became happy.

Affection level +1, 10000 yuan received.

Upon hearing that her favorability points had been credited, Jiang Moli was greatly surprised: Could her niece be a masochist?

After letting her in-laws know she was safe, Jiang Moli called Jiang Dahai and Yang Liqiong in turn.

While expressing her longing and gratitude, she also managed to gain favor with the two of them.

"Task progress 6/10000, current personal account balance: 100060000 yuan. Great job, host! Keep it up!"

"A mere five mission points, is it really necessary to get this excited?" Jiang Moli casually teased, sensing the system's excitement.

"Host, you haven't done a single mission for a full two weeks."

Today, it was so exciting to finally see the task progress bar grow longer, like seeing the light of dawn in the darkness.

Hearing that half a month had passed, Jiang Moli was slightly surprised, but quickly came to terms with it.

Time flies by too fast!

However, the system's words did stimulate her enthusiasm and motivation.

The sooner you complete the task, the sooner you can get the reward.

As we were getting back to the family compound, we ran into a group of family members who had just returned from picking mushrooms in the mountains.

Despite their gossip and criticism of Jiang Moli behind her back, they were all very polite to her face.

Jiang Moli glanced at each of the family members' baskets; they contained all sorts of wild mushrooms, and they all looked quite good. She then suggested exchanging them for sugar.

In Menglong's area, sugar is a hard currency, so they all happily went to Jiang Moli's house.

……

Upon entering, Jiang Moli first made a cup of honey water for each family member.

After a long day of running in the mountains, I was exhausted and thirsty. The sweet honey water instantly relieved most of my fatigue.

After finishing her water, Jiang Moli picked out a few items from the supplies she had received over the past few days and laid them out on the table for the family members to choose from.

It includes milk powder, white sugar, brown sugar, vitamins, calcium tablets, etc.

The family members were stunned.

"You're really going to trade these for mushrooms, Commander Lu? Why don't you talk to Commander Lu about it?"

Jiang Moli brought out rare and hard-to-buy items; they would never have been willing to exchange them for mushrooms.

Even if they were willing to spend the money, they would still be called spendthrift women by men.

Mushrooms are plentiful in the mountains; you can pick them up with just a bend of your waist. But the items on the table are rare commodities that money can hardly buy.

"Don't ask him. I'll make the decisions at home. You can exchange whatever you need, and I can exchange anything else I have."

Seeing Jiang Moli's resolute attitude, the family members became less polite and began selecting what they needed.

……

"Oh my, it's truly a blessing from our ancestors!"

As they left the Lu family home, a family member, unable to contain his excitement, clasped his hands together in prayer. "My second son hasn't grown much in the past two years. They say he's calcium deficient and needs calcium supplements. My husband and I have tried everything, but we can only buy about ten tablets a month. I never expected that today, while out picking mushrooms, we could actually get thirty calcium tablets in return!"

His words resonated with the family members who were traveling with him.

Some women who didn't have enough breast milk after giving birth switched to the formula they had been dreaming of; some who suffered from cold constitutions and menstrual cramps switched to red dates and brown sugar; and others switched to soap and toothpaste that they desperately needed at home.

In short, everyone was happy to have obtained the supplies they needed.

A cup of honey water and a barter exchange changed their perception of Jiang Moli, the wife of the troupe leader, and also made them feel genuinely grateful to her.

Affection level +8, 80000 yuan received.
