Chapter 39: Military Law
When Chu Miao and her brother got home, the rest of the family members were already waiting.
"Why did you take so long? Did you get into trouble?" Mother Chu asked as she stood up to check Miao. She surveyed her to make sure nothing was wrong before letting her go.
"Nothing happened, Mom. We left the mall around noon and decided to collect gasoline since it was still too early." Chu Miao explained so they could put their family at ease.
"Did you visit a gas station? How much gasoline did you get?" Grandpa Chu asked when he heard their explanation.
"Not just a gas station, we visited five. The first was on our way to the mall and we got a dozen LPGS and gallons of gasoline. We also emptied their warehouse. The other four were after leaving the mall. We saw that it was still early and decided to search for other gas stations.
We took the gasoline in gallons and tanks, LPG, and supplies in the warehouse of three of them. But on the fourth one, we met with Ye Xuan and only took half of what was in the warehouse and left the other half for his team." Chu Hao explained.
"So, when we saw him in the elevator this morning he was also going to look for supplies. He is a smart guy and must have figured out what was happening, so he decided to take action earlier!" Grandpa Chu exclaimed. One could tell that he was fond of the guy.
"He didn’t grow his family business to double its size with nothing. He has brains." Father Chu also commented.
"Is this a case of other people’s child? Where you praise someone else’s child until your own feels inferior?" Chu Hao muttered with a sullen face.
"Are you jealous?" Chu Miao asked with a mocking laugh.
"Who is jealous? Isn’t he just a little bit smarter, and a little bit stronger, and a little bit..." As he started counting Ye Xuan’s merits, his voice got lower and lower.
