Chapter 1444: You Are Too Snobbish

Song Xiaohua was already sharp-tongued, and now that she was the workshop's person in charge, she naturally couldn't stand anyone slandering the workshop: "She didn't have such thoughts; why do you say it so smoothly? Besides, cooperation is a matter of mutual willingness. Clarifying things in advance—how is that shifting the risk?"

You are members of the family compound; whether intentional or not, is it appropriate to say such things?

You even called Chuxue's sister-in-law cunning, yet Brother Fu, the Deputy Regiment Commander, is sitting right here; how could you be so shameless?"

She originally wanted to say, "How dare you," but the words turned a corner before reaching her lips; she couldn't possibly leave this mother and daughter with ammunition.

Pan Mei still wanted to argue, but Miao Yushuang held her arm down tightly. She was just about to explain a word for her mother when the driver ahead shouted: "We've arrived. Everyone take your things and don't leave anything behind."

This was the last bus; in a moment, the vehicle would drive to the designated parking spot ahead. After he finished cleaning, he could clock off and go home, and he didn't want things left on the bus that would require him to make another trip to the military unit.

As soon as the bus door opened, Song Xiaohua was the first to rise: "Sister-in-law, I have something to attend to, so I'll leave first. We'll chat later."

Chuxue smiled and replied: "Okay."

Fu Yan Cheng turned to look at Chuxue and said softly: "We'll get off in a moment."

His own wife was heavily pregnant; she couldn't be squeezed in with others.

Chuxue naturally understood his meaning: "Okay."

After seeing that most people had gotten off, Fu Yan Cheng finally took the net bag in one hand, supported Chuxue with the other, and got off the bus.

The two met Mo Ruhua at the entrance of the family compound: "You're back in the city?"

Chuxue smiled slightly: "Yes. It's been a while since we went home, so we're going back to visit."

Mo Ruhua saw the things Fu Yan Cheng was carrying: "Are you preparing to make small quilts, or diapers?"

Chuxue laughed: "Preparing to make bedding first. I haven't had time to attend to it before. In a few months, the due date will arrive, so I can't delay any longer."

Mo Ruhua looked at her belly: "Indeed, it can't be delayed any longer. Besides, your family is making three children. By the way, I still have some cloth coupons. If you need them, I'll bring them to you later; after all, for three children, just the diapers will require quite a lot of preparation."

As soon as she said this, Cui Pozi, standing at her own door, heard it: "The wife of Company Commander Shen, the Deputy Regiment Commander Fu's family only has two people; how could they possibly lack cloth coupons? If you can't use them, why not give them to my family to use first? My Yu Jun and Yu Quan's pants are a whole length too short; it's just the right time to make new ones."

Cui Pozi's voice suddenly came, startling Mo Ruhua. After hearing clearly what she said, Mo Ruhua directly rolled her eyes: "Auntie Cui, whose coupons are blown over by the wind? They are all saved up one by one. You just open your mouth and say 'give them to my family to use.' You really dare to say such a thing."

Hearing her say this, Cui Pozi became displeased: "You're eager to give to the Deputy Regiment Commander Fu's family, but not to my family? You are too snobbish."

No matter how you put it, this matter concerned her own family; Chuxue really couldn't bear to listen anymore and opened her mouth to retort, but Fu Yan Cheng spoke first: "Company Commander Cui's salary isn't enough to support the family, so you, as the mother, have to go around the family compound begging people?"

Cui Pozi didn't expect Fu Yan Cheng, a grown man, to meddle in women's affairs, but she heard that these words were not good: "What does Deputy Regiment Commander Fu mean by this?"

Fu Yan Cheng frowned and said: "The day before yesterday, you asked the wife of Deputy Battalion Commander Tao for big soybean paste; yesterday, you asked the wife of Company Commander Zhang for sweet potatoes; today, you asked the wife of Company Commander Shen for cloth coupons. This is only what I have encountered, and it has been three consecutive days. What about the other times I haven't encountered?"
