Chapter 1295: Truly an Eye-Opener

The one who came to open the door happened to be Company Commander Sun himself. Seeing the few people standing outside, he was still somewhat dazed: "Battalion Commander Fu, Old Chang, Xiao Zhang, how did you all get here?"

Xiao Zhang spoke first: "Company Commander Sun, didn't I ask you a few days ago to deliver a bag of ingredients to Battalion Commander Fu's home? Did you deliver the items?"

Hearing these words, Company Commander Sun turned and shouted into the house: "Cuifang, come out for a moment."

Mi Cuifang, who was inside coaxing the child to sleep for his afternoon nap, heard the shout. With a very unhappy face, she stood at the doorway holding the child: "What is it?"

But as soon as her words fell, she saw the few people standing outside the main gate, and guilt instantly flashed across her mind.

Before she could say anything, she heard Company Commander Sun say: "Where are the items I asked you to deliver to Battalion Commander Fu's home a few days ago? Where did you send them?"

Mi Cuifang stammered for a long time but couldn't come up with any explanation.

Company Commander Sun was now furious: "Where are the items?"

Mi Cuifang's face flushed red as she said: "Well, that day my sister happened to come over, and my father was sick, so I, I....."

She couldn't continue.

Company Commander Sun was now anxious: "You let your sister take the items away?"

Mi Cuifang lowered her head and nodded slightly: "Yes, I just wanted to borrow them, thinking that..."

Before she could finish speaking, Company Commander Sun shouted directly: "How could you do such a thing? Besides, why didn't you mention a single word to me afterwards?"

Mi Cuifang looked up and glanced at the three people outside the door: "I originally thought that in a few days I would have the canteen help purchase a portion to return."

With these words spoken, only Company Commander Sun himself knew whether he believed it, but the other three simply did not believe it at all.

Now that the matter was clear, Fu Yan Cheng did not want to pursue it further: "Forget it. Since there was a reason for this, let's drop the matter. Just return the money to me directly."

Xiao Zhang was furious: He never expected Company Commander Sun's wife to be such a person; it was truly an eye-opener.

Old Chang frowned deeply, obviously not expecting such a thing to happen either.

Company Commander Sun was extremely ashamed and quickly looked at Fu Yan Cheng: "Battalion Commander Fu, I am truly sorry."

Fu Yan Cheng looked at Old Chang: "Did you have any money left from what I gave you back then?"

Old Chang naturally understood his meaning and shook his head: "No. The fifteen yuan you gave was all spent. Besides the meat, eggs, and malted milk powder, the rest was all spent on condiments."

Hearing "fifteen yuan," Company Commander Sun felt a sharp pang of pain and shouted at his own wife: "Hurry inside and get the money!"

Mi Cuifang didn't know what she was thinking: "Well, I didn't touch those condiments. You see..."

Everyone understood her meaning. Hearing these words, Company Commander Sun was even more angry: "What is there to see? Don't cause any more trouble. Hurry and get the money."

At this moment, Old Chang spoke up: "There are also meat coupons, egg coupons, and dairy product coupons. Don't forget those either."

Mi Cuifang was now anxious: "We don't have coupons on hand. How about we wait..."

Fu Yan Cheng was now displeased: "The reason I asked them to help purchase these items is because my wife is pregnant, and I wanted to nourish her body."

With these words spoken, the several grown men present felt even more guilty.

Old Chang sighed inwardly: What a mess this has become.

Xiao Zhang also wore a face full of guilt: It was all my fault. I shouldn't have tried to save trouble by asking Company Commander Sun to deliver them.

Company Commander Sun was even more ashamed, his face turning completely red: "Battalion Commander Fu, I am sorry. It is all my fault. I..."

Fu Yan Cheng raised his hand to stop him from saying any more: "Since things are already like this, let's not say anything else. Your son is so sleepy he can barely keep his eyes open. I won't waste your time."

Company Commander Sun glared at his own wife and hurried to get the money.

After Mi Cuifang went inside holding the child, he immediately asked Old Chang how many coupons there were in total.

After clarifying the amount, he looked at Fu Yan Cheng with a very embarrassed expression: "Battalion Commander Fu, regarding the coupons, please grant me a few days of grace. I will deliver them as soon as I gather them all."
