Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 15
“Sister, are you alright?” The head teacher and his wife looked at Xu Bao with a worried expression. Both of their hands tightly held onto Xu Bao’s hand.
Wu Anguo knew that because of the little girl’s killing spree, the outside world would not be safe for a while. Wu Anguo simply sent Xu Bao to accompany his teacher and wife, so that he wouldn’t have to worry about his own safety.
Xu Bao, on the other hand, was in a daze. He thought that it had been a few days since he last played with Big Sis Qiu, so he came over happily.
Seeing that Big Sis Qiu was constantly asking questions, Xu Bao was confused and asked, “What happened yesterday?” “No, I ate delicious food, drank tea, and fell asleep. After that, my big brother came to pick me up.”
The more the teacher’s wife heard from her, the more she felt sad. This chick was smiling so foolishly. Could it be that she was frightened? She had to make up for it.
“It’s fine. I’ll stay here for two days. I’ll make you something nice to eat. There’s a famous dish in Northeast China, stewed meat. I’m sure you’ll like it.”
“Really?” Hearing the delicious food, Xu Bao’s face was full of joy. He immediately threw his husband to the back of his mind without any conscience.
At this moment, Wu Anguo was reporting to his teacher.
Elder Liu’s face was not as serious as it was last time. He did not frown, but he did not relax. His eyes seemed to be half closed, but Wu Anguo did not dare to make any mistakes.
“Teacher, everything that this lowly one says is true, please punish me.” After Wu Anguo finished his brief summary of the situation, he stood before Senior Elder Liu with clear eyes.
Master Liu was an old bureaucrat. When the Qing Dynasty was still in existence, he was a high official. When the Qing Dynasty fell, he turned into a revolutionary leader. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes and sized up the young man in front of him. He had a broad forehead, eyebrows that were like swords, and a face full of righteousness.
When the revolution was chaotic and the hearts of the people were still uncertain, he decisively developed his own influence and achieved the position of a division commander. Although he couldn’t compare with the regular army under Sun Wen’s command, he was still a force to be reckoned with. It was just that in this chaotic world, it was a problem how to grow and develop. It was either you ate others or others ate you.
In fact, in the same county, he was known to have amassed more money than his teacher, and even had the ability to send his daughter to Shanghai to study. Although when he saw what his wife had done to him, although he would never write about such things, he did not feel comfortable in his heart.
He didn’t expect that someone would send him a pillow just because he was sleepy. The more he looked at the young man in front of him, the more satisfied he was. He was young and had a sense of justice. However, he still had to do it on the surface.
Senior Liu cursed at Wu Anguo with an ugly expression. Wu Anguo listened carefully, he knew that if the leader was willing to scold him, there was still hope for him.
As expected, in the end, Instructor Liu did not say anything about punishment. He only coughed and said, “You must ensure the unity and stability of Crooked Yang County. You must also take care of the aftermath.”
“Yes, your subordinate understands.” Wu Anguo saluted a standard military salute, turned around, and left.
When he walked out, he heard a familiar laughter coming from inside the house. Wu Anguo shook his head and left. He was sweating profusely and his back was wet. That girl was really heartless. He had no idea how big of a mess she had caused. But this was good as well. Wu An’s woman would be happy for the rest of her life.
As long as he could control the overall situation, he would be supported. However, if he could not, he would not be so easy to deal with. After all, it was only natural to support the victor.
A week later, Zhuang Niao, the sixth regiment’s leader, and his wife and brother were in Quyang County, collecting money in the name of the revolution. Furthermore, they were forced to rob the girls, committing all sorts of crimes and being punished by martial law.
So Xu Bao moved, moving from the battalion department to the regiment department. Wu Anguo worked hard to become the new commander of the sixth regiment.
Wu Anguo hadn’t wrongly accused him of this. Just by looking at the architecture of his house, one could tell that this was a county in Shanxi. Those who didn’t know how to walk into the house would think that they had arrived at a foreign building in Shanghai.
Wu Anguo had become a captain, but problems followed. Not only did the cannon embezzle, it also embezzled salaries, and the soldiers hadn’t issued any orders for several months now, originally, when the cannon was in power, they didn’t care about extortion and could get some money spent, but now that Wu Anguo had ascended to power, they immediately demanded that the military discipline be strict. Some soldiers who disobeyed his orders and continued to extort the common people were directly shot to death by Wu Anguo.
He didn’t dare to take the money in private, and since the higher-ups didn’t make any noise, the soldiers would naturally start a ruckus. Besides, everyone had the mindset of not reprimanding the masses and they weren’t afraid of Wu Anguo catching anyone. Of course, there were also people who were looking for opportunities to cause trouble in the middle of the group.
Xu Bao was not happy at all at seeing his husband promoted to an official. All day long, he had been frowning bitterly and feeling very vexed. Finally, he had a bit of awareness towards being a wife, and before he went to bed, he seriously asked Wu Anguo: “What happened, big brother? “Why is Mao not happy these past few days? Does he not have any meat to eat?”
Wu Anguo felt a warm feeling in his heart when he saw the little girl’s serious and caring expression. But when he heard that she didn’t have any meat to eat, his forehead began to twitch. “You’re thinking of eating meat, aren’t you?” This girl hadn’t specifically asked the chef to make her meat in the past few days, but she was afraid that things wouldn’t be so peaceful outside and that she wouldn’t be allowed to go out.
In fact, she just wanted to ask him if he was living a good life. In her opinion, the quality of life was directly related to the quality of the meat, and now they were living in a big house, but the food was not as good as it used to be.
Wu Anguo didn’t want the little girl to worry. He hugged her for a long time and promised that they would have meat to eat tomorrow. In the end, Xu Bao even forgot whether he was concerned about his husband or if he applied for meat.
The next day, Xu Bao opened his eyes and found that his husband was no longer by his side. He rolled a few times on the bed before lazily getting up.
Having eaten to his heart’s content, Xu Bao could not sit still any longer. He wanted to go out for a walk. Third Aunt also meant the same thing. Originally, Young Mistress had wanted to make some good clothes for the Battalion Commander’s wife, but now she was the Captain’s wife again. Those clothes were obviously not enough, so she had to buy some new clothes, especially those Western dresses. Every time the daughter of the manager saw the young master, her eyes would be glued to him. Only the young mistress, this gluttonous woman, did not know and felt no sense of danger. This made Third Aunt feel extremely helpless.
Third Aunt began to urge Xu Bao to go out. Xu Bao originally wanted to go out for a stroll, but seeing Third Aunt acting so aggressively, thinking about the last time when they went to buy clothes, his feet felt numb. However, seeing that she was an elder, Xu Bao could only obediently obey.
Sure enough, it was Silk Cloth Gardens again. Xu Bao’s eyes darkened, and he almost fainted on the spot.
However, when he recalled Third Aunt’s words about his skills that wouldn’t stop for two hours, Xu Bao obediently went in and obediently sat on the side, waiting for Third Aunt to pick out some clothes.
This time, without his teacher’s wife by his side, he just sat there, bored, eating snacks. He saw two people in front of him, an old man and a beautiful little girl. The girl was holding a small furry dog in one hand.
She loved furry things because she was afraid of the cold. She would put on her fur coat early in the winter and wrap herself up like a bear. Seeing the soft fur on the dog, Xu Bao thought it would be very comfortable to make a hat.
Xu Bao’s unblinking eyes revealed her fondness, making the woman who held the dog very unhappy. She said to the old man in a spoiled manner, “Darling, are all the women in this small town so uncultured? You see, my Lulu is scared. ”
The woman really wasn’t speaking nonsense. Dogs were very sharp, and any dog that saw a woman staring at them would cry out when they thought of how it felt to make them into a dog hat.
Xu Bao felt a little embarrassed by her words, but she had always been a very carefree person. Knowing her wrongs, she immediately apologized to the couple, “I’m sorry, old man. I didn’t mean to scare your daughter’s dog. It was just that when I saw this dog, it reminded me of my father’s hat.”
That old man heard your daughter! His face turned dark. What daughter, this was his ninth concubine, how preposterous! Qu Mingshan was the wealthiest person in Qu Yang County, he had fields, fields, shops and factories, and his business had gone out of the country. He had just brought the Ninth Aunt back from the outside world, and she had a delicate foreign smell, which was liked by Old Man Qu. Xu Bao’s words made the old man very unhappy. However, when he turned around, he saw that Xu Bao was also a beautiful woman. Her appearance was even more beautiful than his, the Ninth Aunt, so he couldn’t help but take a few more glances without uttering a word.
Seeing the old man’s face darken, Xu Bao knew that he had said the wrong thing. Carefully examining the old man and the young lady’s ages, he thought that he must have made a mistake and quickly corrected him, “I’m sorry old sir, I didn’t know she was your granddaughter. I was mistaken …”
At this moment, it was the ninth concubine’s turn to be angry. Granddaughter, your sister! She began to wail in a spoiled manner, “Darling, I don’t like it, she insulted me, I feel so sad!” As soon as she began to act like this, the old man immediately stopped thinking. With a haughty expression, he scolded Xu Bao, “Where did you get this girl from? This is my ninth concubine. Open your eyes wide and watch. I want you to apologize to her!”
Xu Bao looked curiously at the woman, not even hearing what the old man had said.
The old man saw that the girl actually ignored him. Seeing that Xu Bao’s clothes were also ordinary, he was sure that he was just an ordinary person. He purposely showed his might to the ninth concubine, cursing her even louder.
This meeting finally attracted the third aunt, who saw that someone dared to bully her young mistress, so she immediately sent Wu Zhong to inform the others that she was going to have a quarrel with the old man with her waist between her legs.
Third Aunt’s lecture was always very painful, but it was only after seeing Third Aunt and the others scolding each other that Xu Bao found it very interesting. Third Aunt had been scolding people for a long time without stopping, and with her hands on her hips, it seemed like she was not going to give up until she was scolded.
Wu Anguo and his trusted aides were discussing how to get the money. Zhang Shiqing wanted to “borrow” some money to spend like a local rich squire, but Song Yinghan, who had a strong sense of justice, firmly refused. What difference was there between this and snatching it?
In this stalemate, Wu Zhong reported and Young Mistress was in trouble again.
Wu Anguo thought about that girl’s sweet sadness, but if that girl was in trouble, Wu Anguo wouldn’t waste a single second. The dignified Guild Leader would personally go out.
Whenever there was a problem with Xu Bao, Song Yinghan, the revolutionary sage, would actively follow. Li Zilong and Zhang Shiqing would follow along as well.
Thus, when Master Qu, who was in the midst of an uproar, saw that a group of military officers had arrived, his face turned from red to black and then to white … When Wu Anguo and company saw Qu Mingshan, they all laughed … Wealth!
