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

Chapter 347 Extra Chapter 08 The Whistleblower

After breakfast, Jiang Moli took half a basin of dirty clothes and went out to the well.

As usual, a number of family members gathered by the well, washing and rinsing, making quite a lively scene with their banter.

As soon as she arrived, someone made room for her and even helped her carry water; they were very considerate and caring towards her.

Unlike before, when she was universally disliked and hated wherever she went, she is now the most popular person in the family compound.

Of course, beneath this facade of good relationships lies a degree of ulterior motives and self-interest.

"Little Jiang, thanks to your help in changing the calcium tablets, my second child has finally grown taller!"

Jiang Moli said happily, "That's great!"

"He's grown a full centimeter taller than he did two months ago, which makes my husband and me so happy. It's okay for us adults to eat a little less, but our child is growing a lot, so I'm thinking of giving him some extra nutrition. Could you ask a friend to help me buy two more cans of malted milk powder?"

Jiang Moli sighed, "Sigh, I won't be able to help everyone anymore. To be honest, Lu Cheng has been reported for condoning his family members' speculation and profiteering, which has damaged the discipline of the team..."

After hearing her complaints, the family members were outraged.

"So, we won't be able to exchange for supplies or tickets anymore?"

"What time is it? You're still thinking about things. Didn't you see that Commander Lu has been implicated and might even be punished?"

"In all honesty, I'm not the kind of heartless person who only cares about himself. To be honest, this has nothing to do with Commander Lu. We did it, so let the higher-ups punish us if they want!"

"You make it sound so easy. Who gets punished and who doesn't, is that up to you?"

"Little Jiang, don't worry. We're upright and have nothing to hide. If anyone dares to frame you, I'll be the first to clear your name."

"Yes, we've all seen your character. It's truly unfair that good people don't get rewarded!"

Affection level +2, 20000 yuan received.

Affection level +3, 30000 yuan received.

Jiang Moli was a little confused as she listened to the goodwill points that kept arriving at her account.

She originally intended to use the conversation with Lu Cheng as a pretext to reasonably refuse the families' request for replacement supplies.

Unexpectedly, the family members were outraged and told everyone they met about her deeds.

The family members did this perhaps to stand up for her, or perhaps to express their anger and protest against the loss of access to special goods.

But the result was that Jiang Moli benefited, earning nearly 100 points of favorability without lifting a finger.

"Task progress 367/10000, current personal account balance: 103169847.7 yuan. Keep it up, host!"

Compared to the period when everyone disliked me and I could easily earn hundreds or thousands of task points a day, my current task progress is quite slow. It has taken me more than a month to collect 367 favor points.

Presumably worried that she wouldn't be able to complete the task within a year, the system automatically reports the task progress every day, which is both an encouragement and a form of indirect supervision.

……

"I don't know who reported Commander Lu behind his back. From now on, we won't be able to get anything we want to eat or use! That selfish and harmful beast, I curse her to have sons without an anus!"

In the farmland, several family members were working while hurling insults at the person who had reported them.

Although it is adjacent to the prosperous town of Dalo, many scarce goods can be bought without ration coupons, but the prices are 10%-30% higher than the market price.

In the future, if people want to buy something, they will have to spend a lot more money unnecessarily, which will inevitably make everyone grit their teeth in resentment.

"The deputy commander's family, could it be that you secretly reported Commander Lu?"

Mao Cuifen, who had been working silently, suddenly looked up, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger. "You think you can just talk nonsense like that! If I reported you, may I die a horrible death! If you wrong me, may your man be cursed for life, never to rise again, and you dare to admit it?" "If it wasn't you, then it wasn't you. Why are you dragging my man into this?"

"What have I done to you? You're trying to pin this on me like that. Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

"Who bullied you? You're the only one in the entire compound who's at odds with the regimental commander's family. Who else could it be but you!"

The person arguing with Mao Cuifen was Xiao Zhen, and the man was Sun Jianhua, the battalion commander of the Third Battalion. They were of similar rank and neither was intimidated by the other.

"I'm going to your mother!"

Mao Cuifen rolled up her sleeves and started fighting with Xiao Zhen.

Family members joined in the fun, while others tried to break up the fight, creating complete chaos.

……

When Jiang Moli arrived at the farmland after receiving the news, Mao Cuifen and Xiao Zhen had already been separated.

Mao Cuifen had messy, unkempt hair, and Xiao Zhen had several bloody marks on her face and neck, indicating that the battle between the two was fierce.

"I swear to God that I didn't report your man!"

Upon seeing Jiang Moli, Mao Cuifen shouted at her.

Jiang Moli nodded: "I know it wasn't you."

As she spoke, she walked up to the two of them and said to Xiao Zhen, "Sister Zhen, I know you mean well by speaking up for me, and I appreciate that. However, it was definitely not Sister Cuifen who reported this, and I know who it was."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was in an uproar.

Instead of the family members being curious about who the whistleblower was, Mao Cuifen covered her face and sobbed.

They wept tears of joy at having their injustice cleared.

"As for who the whistleblower is, please don't ask. I won't tell you even if you ask. Let's just let this matter rest. I will still do my best to help in the future if there is anything I can do. Now everyone, please disperse."

After resolving the dispute, Jiang Moli didn't rush back to her family compound. Instead, she leisurely headed to the pig farm, intending to bring home some rotten vegetable leaves to feed her piglets.

The farm has twenty acres of vegetable fields. The rotten leaves picked from the vegetable fields are usually sent to the pig farm to feed the pigs.

Sometimes there are too many vegetable leaves, and family members who can't finish feeding the animals that day can take some home.

"The commander's family's!"

Jiang Moli turned around and was not surprised to see Mao Cuifen catching up.

"Thank you for today," Mao Cuifen said awkwardly.

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "You really should thank me. I don't actually know who the whistleblower is, but I believe it wasn't you. You and Battalion Commander Deng are both upright people, not the kind of petty scoundrels. Lying is certainly wrong, but it's worth it to protect your reputation."

Watching Jiang Moli's departing figure, Mao Cuifen was moved to tears.

Affection level +1, 10000 yuan received.

Hearing that the favorability points had been credited to her account, Jiang Moli felt relieved.

Mao Cuifen was indeed unjustly harmed by the whistleblower's report.

She initially thought she had been reported, but after receiving a letter from Jiang Wenjuan yesterday, she learned that Zhong Weiguo knew she had helped family members exchange goods and coupons because Jiang Wenjuan had exchanged items with her.

Zhong Weiguo's reminder to Lu Cheng was well-intentioned, as he was worried that Lu Cheng would be criticized by his political enemies because of this.
