Chapter 14 Huo Tuan's wife is too extravagant.
In her past life, she had dealt with the black market extensively and knew how to protect herself.
This is the time when the crackdown on the black market is most severe. She's not crazy to admit that she went to the black market.
If someone is caught trading on the black market, they will be fined at best, and reprimanded at worst.
Shen Qingshuang lost her own money and now she wants to drag her down with her?
"It's her, Wenrou! I saw you go to the black market, and you still want to deny it?" Shen Qingshuang pointed at Wenrou and said excitedly to the police officers.
Wenrou gave a cold snort, then looked at the police officers and said, "Comrades, you can ask around in the family compound. My fiancé was stolen by her. We didn't get along to begin with. She's trying to frame me. If she can produce evidence, I'll admit it."
Hearing Wenrou's words, Shen Qingshuang was furious. She really couldn't produce any evidence to prove that Wenrou had also gone to the black market.
Why is it that while they all went to the black market, she and Sister Chen were criticized and fined, while Wenrou got away with it?
"Well... Comrade Shen, if you can't produce any evidence, then it's indeed impossible to prove that this comrade also went to the black market."
The police officers were just following regulations, and in the end they could only take Shen Qingshuang and Sister Chen away.
Wenrou watched them being taken away, closed the door, and turned back to continue cooking.
Since it was their first time going to the black market, the police officers gave them a verbal reprimand and also fined them.
Shen Qingshuang had all her money stolen and naturally had no money to pay the fine. She looked at Aunt Chen beside her, pointed at her, and complained, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't taken me to the black market to buy some bicycle ticket, my money wouldn't have been stolen!"
Mrs. Chen wasn't one to be trifled with either. "You lost your money, why blame me? Didn't you say you wanted to buy a bicycle ticket? I was just trying to be helpful by taking you there, how was I supposed to know we'd run into a thief?"
She was also fined ten yuan, which was half a month's living expenses for her family, and now it's all gone.
"You...you..." Shen Qingshuang was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Aunt Chen ignored her and turned to go home.
In the end, Zhou Dayong stepped in and paid the fine for Shen Qingshuang.
"Qingshuang, you should avoid going to places like the black market in the future. Losing money is not a big deal, but what if you run into human traffickers?" Zhou Dayong could only hug and comfort Shen Qingshuang when he saw her crying so sadly.
After this incident, Shen Qingshuang learned her lesson.
"I understand, I will never go there again."
He didn't have much money himself, and he hadn't had time to send his monthly allowance home yet; it was all in Shen Qingshuang's hands.
Zhou Dayong had no choice but to repeatedly remind him, "You should spend this money sparingly."
Shen Qingshuang casually stuffed the money into her pocket. "I understand."
This amount of money isn't even enough for her allowance, so how can she be frugal with it?
"Go and cook, I'm starving," Shen Qingshuang urged impatiently.
Zhou Dayong responded and then put on an apron and went into the kitchen.
He hadn't cooked much at home, and it was only after meeting Shen Qingshuang in the army that he slowly began to learn to cook, but he could only make a few simple dishes.
He worked in the kitchen for more than three hours before finally cooking three dishes.
Even so, Shen Qingshuang still complained that his cooking was tasteless.
However, she was probably hungry, and ended up eating it all.
Wenrou had just finished steaming the buns when Huo Yanchuan returned, accompanied by Hao Gang.
"What did you make, sister-in-law? It smells so good!" Hao Gang smelled the aroma of steamed buns as soon as he entered the door.
Hearing the sound, Wenrou came out of the kitchen and greeted them with a smile, "I just steamed some buns, you should have some too."
"Okay." Before Huo Yanchuan could even speak, Hao Gang, acting as if they were old friends, rushed into the kitchen and grabbed two steamed buns.
Huo Yanchuan heard that Wenrou had gone to the black market, so he wanted to check on her to see if she was alright.
"These steamed buns are so delicious, sister-in-law, you're amazing!" Hao Gang took a bite of the bun and praised it as he enjoyed its aroma.
Having just finished training, he was also hungry, and finished a steamed bun in just a few bites.
Huo Yanchuan hadn't originally planned to eat at home, but seeing Hao Gang eating so heartily, he couldn't help but swallow.
Wenrou came out at this moment, holding two steamed buns in her hand, and placed one directly into Huo Yanchuan's hand.
"Eat up, these buns taste best when they're hot."
After all, she bought all of these things with money given to her by Huo Yanchuan. He was the boss, so of course she had to provide good service.
She was already very hungry, so she ignored them and started eating the steamed buns.
Although Wenrou eats quickly, her eating manners are not offensive; on the contrary, they are quite pleasant and make one's appetite increase.
Whether it was because of their influence or not, Huo Yanchuan also lowered his head and took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand.
I must say, these steamed buns taste really good, much better than those made in the army canteen.
In the military, he wasn't particularly picky about food; he just wanted to fill his stomach.
After all, this place is close to the Gobi Desert, so having food is already a blessing, and there's no need to pursue delicious food.
But now, he never expected that even a simple cabbage bun could be made so delicious by Wenrou.
"Sister-in-law, do you have any garlic?"
Hao Gang ate a steamed bun and felt it lacked flavor. Back in his hometown, everything tasted better with garlic.
"Yes, I'll go get it for you."
Wenrou gave him some garlic and then served each of them a bowl of millet porridge.
Knowing they didn't have enough to eat, she went and got them a few more steamed buns.
Seeing this, Huo Yanchuan didn't stand on ceremony, and the two sat down and began to eat.
The aroma of fried buns wafted from the house, and people passing by couldn't help but peek inside.
Wenrou bought so many things today; many people in the compound saw it.
I didn't expect her to buy so many things right after marrying Commander Huo.
That's such a waste of money.
Even if Commander Huo's family is very wealthy, they can't afford to let her spend money like this.
After finishing their meal, Huo Yanchuan finally got down to business with Wenrou.
"Did you go to the black market today?"
Wenrou nodded gently, knowing that this matter could not be kept from Huo Yanchuan.
"I just felt cold sleeping at night and wanted to buy some cotton to sew a new quilt, but I didn't have any cotton coupons, so I had no choice but to go to the black market." She thought Huo Yanchuan was asking her a question, so she explained.
After all, he is the regimental commander, and she is now the regimental commander's wife, so she cannot affect his reputation.
Hearing her words, Huo Yanchuan was slightly taken aback; he had forgotten about that.
"What I meant was, if you ever need anything in the future, just let me know. The black market isn't safe, so try to go there as little as possible."
There was no blame in his tone; instead, he seemed worried about her.
