"One piece a day is hardly enough, that’s just being cruel," An Ran muttered softly, not daring to argue further, afraid that the man would get angry and confiscate her snacks as well.
Mu Xingfeng pretended not to hear her complaint, paid the bill, and walked out of the convenience store with one hand holding the snacks and the other holding his young wife’s hand.
Once they left, the cashier Tian couldn’t hold it any longer, clutching her stomach as she laughed and ran to the door.
"Tian, what are you laughing at?" Sister-in-law Song, who had joined the vegetable-picking team, asked with a smile.
"Oh, I can’t, this is killing ," Tian said as she laughed and wiped away her tears. "Sister-in-law Song, you wouldn’t believe it, just now Captain Mu ca in with his wife to buy stuff. Captain Mu’s wife picked a whole cartload of snacks, and while she was picking, Captain Mu didn’t say a word. But when it was ti to check out, he said no to this, no to that, and his wife pouted and complained that he was being abusive. It’s the first ti I’ve seen Captain Mu’s wife, she’s really adorable."
Sister-in-law Song laughed too when she heard this, "That does sound like Captain Mu’s style."
"Sister-in-law Song, have you t Captain Mu’s wife?"
Sister-in-law Wang was part of Captain Tao’s family, belonged to the sa troop as Mu Xingfeng under Chief Guard Wang, and was also familiar with Sister-in-law Song.
"I’ve t her a couple of tis, quite a quiet young girl." Sister-in-law Song had a good impression of An Ran. She heard from her husband that during the recent mission, the young girl even made a contribution.
As a Guard Team family mber, not only did she not drag her man down, but she also helped him at a crucial mont, which is really rare.
"I think the young girl is quite nice, fair-skinned, and looks very obedient beside Captain Mu. She’s also good-looking and matches well with Captain Mu. By the way, I heard that during Captain Mu’s recent mission, the young girl was of great help. Is that true?"
Sister-in-law Wang’s words drew nearby wives closer. They knew a bit about what their husbands were doing. What help could such a young girl possibly provide?
"Tch, maybe she got caught by drug dealers, and Captain Mu had to split his focus to save her, right?"
Before Sister-in-law Song could speak, a woman’s voice ca from the store.
Huang Xiaoyu stood at the convenience store entrance with a newly filled soy sauce bottle, looking at the wives with an arrogant expression and said, "I’ve heard that those with her got injured, so seriously. I think, nowadays, university students are just so conceited. Instead of staying ho during sumr break, they go exploring deep mountains and forests and think they’re heroes? In the end, they still need others to rescue them."
This Huang Xiaoyu was Chief Guard Huang’s younger sister. In the Nan’an Guard Team, there are five troops. Wang Jianye is the Chief Guard of the first troop, and the third troop’s Chief Guard is Huang Xiaoyu’s brother, Huang Xiaowei.
Huang Xiaowei’s hotown is in the countryside. Huang Xiaoyu ca to rely on her brother last year and was placed as a primary school teacher at the Guard Team’s school.
Though Huang Xiaoyu worked as a primary school teacher at the Guard Team school, she didn’t attend university, only having a secondary vocational school teacher qualification. Her job at the Nan’an Guard Team school was thanks to her brother’s connections.
At school, she had seen enough of the high-educated teachers’ attitudes. What of university students? It’s still capabilities that count at work.
Moreover, she couldn’t stand the university students’ notions of adventure and budget travel. Call it outdoor adventure all you want, but isn’t it just poor people wanting to play without spending money? She had lived a poor life long enough, and now, with a decent job and a brother as an officer, looking back at those poor students only filled her with disdain.
