Chapter 135 - 130: The Fierce Xiao Juzi
Fang Pingying has a pretty good memory, and with Xiao Juzi there to introduce her, she remembered clearly who each woman was under the building.
When time was running out, she smiled and greeted everyone, "Hello everyone, I just arrived last night and was thinking of coming to greet you all, but we lacked everything at home. Since Zhiyong is off today, I thought I’d get the shopping done first."
"That’s right, Camp Chief Luo, being a man, doesn’t know how to manage household matters. He usually eats in the military cafeteria, and there definitely isn’t much at home. Better go shopping early," someone responded with a laugh.
After laughing and greeting everyone, Fang Pingying called Luo Zhiyong, who was talking with a few men on the side, to go take care of their important tasks first and chat later. They planned to invite people for dinner that evening, they could socialize then.
After Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong left, the women in the courtyard started discussing.
A woman named Gao Hongmei, whose spouse also worked in the military, was cracking sunflower seeds and with a hint of disdain watched Fang Pingying’s retreating figure, she remarked, "Isn’t this Camp Chief Luo’s wife supposed to be from the countryside? She dresses quite like a city person. Does Camp Chief Luo’s family have a good financial background?"
No sooner had Gao Hongmei finished speaking than a tall, thin woman named Li Xuehua, holding a baby about half a year old, chimed in, "Exactly, they said Camp Chief Luo’s wife is from the countryside and mentioned she isn’t well-educated, but looking at her, she doesn’t seem like that at all."
As soon as they finished speaking, Zhou Qiu Lian, who also came from the countryside, half-jokingly said, "What are you talking about? Can only city people dress well? Aren’t you from the countryside too? Yet you dress just like city folks."
"What are you talking about? I have been in the city for many years, at least I have some experience," Gao Hongmei said, sounding somewhat displeased.
