Chapter 1281: He's Already Gone, Sister-in-law, Why Are You Still Looking?

Liu Chuxue stood at the main gate watching him walk away, her heart full of worry.

Mo Ruhua from next door came out and saw her staring into the distance: "Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

Liu Chuxue finally turned her gaze back: "Fu Yan Cheng just came back to get something and left in a hurry again."

She didn't mention that Fu Yan Cheng had a mission; it was better to be cautious, fearing her own carelessness might implicate Fu Yan Cheng.

Mo Ruhua followed her gaze and looked into the distance: "He's already gone, Sister-in-law, and you're still looking."

Liu Chuxue turned her gaze away and looked at Mo Ruhua: "Are you done with your work?"

Mo Ruhua nodded lightly: "Sister-in-law, I see there's still empty space in your yard. I have some vegetable seedlings; do you want to transplant them?"

Liu Chuxue thought she needed to put on a show so she could use it as cover to take vegetables from her space in the future: "If you don't need them, then give them to me. I was actually worried about the empty land, since it's already past the seedling-raising season."

Hearing Liu Chuxue wanted them, Mo Ruhua said: "Alright, I'll bring them over right now."

Liu Chuxue went inside to get tools and shouted over the wall: "Ruhua, I'll bring a basket over."

It wouldn't be right to take someone's seedlings for free; she should use their basket, but the bottom would be full of mud and need washing later.

After speaking, she stepped towards the courtyard next door.

The ground in this yard was already prepared, so they could plant directly without much effort.

Liu Chuxue entered the yard and saw the seedlings had been watered, then heard Mo Ruhua say: "Sister-in-law, we have to wait a bit. When I watered the vegetable patch earlier, I forgot to turn off the water, so the water overflowed from that side into this one."

Liu Chuxue thought to herself, luckily she brought her own basket; otherwise, the watered seedlings would turn into a muddy sludge at the bottom of the basket. She felt grateful that Fu Yan Cheng had already bought all the household tools they needed.

Liu Chuxue put the basket she brought on the ground: "Taking some mud back like this should help them survive better."

Actually, she knew transplanting seedlings just after watering had many drawbacks, but she had the cheat of the space's pool water; no matter the situation, the seedlings would survive. The main reason was that her clothes had accidentally splashed with mud while watering earlier, and she wanted to finish transplanting while wearing them.

Mo Ruhua grew up in the city; the vegetable patch was planted by Huang Juxiu, Sister-in-law of Vice-Camp Commander Tao. She didn't understand any of this. To put it plainly, Liu Chuxue was just fooling her.

Mo Ruhua said half-skeptically: "Will that work? Should we ask Sister-in-law Tao? She's an expert in this area."

Liu Chuxue's face flushed red from Mo Ruhua's seriousness; after all, the original owner was from a village and had done these things since childhood. She quickly made an excuse: "Then maybe we should transplant them in the evening instead."

Mo Ruhua nodded: "That works too."

Liu Chuxue put the basket by the wall: "We can use this to carry the seedlings then. I'll go back first."

Mo Ruhua remembered the reason she came over earlier: "Sister-in-law, I came over just now to ask if you want to go to Baifu Village with me and a few other sisters-in-law to exchange for eggs."

Thinking of what Fu Yan Cheng said last night, she wondered if he had gone to the canteen to deliver vegetables this morning: "Alright, I'll go tidy up and go with you."

After the two agreed, Liu Chuxue returned to her own home.

However, when she came out after changing clothes, she saw Zhang Lianhua standing in the yard, holding her little daughter Cui Yu by the hand: "Wife of Commander Fu, are you preparing to join the army?"

After such an unpleasant incident before, this person seemed to have forgotten it all completely. This person was truly...

To be honest, Liu Chuxue didn't want to deal with someone like this, but one doesn't hit a smiling face, so she replied: "Yes, I will be joining the army from now on."
