Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 18
“Salary is a big problem. You have to consider it carefully. You can rest assured, An Guo. The division will definitely give you an explanation soon.” Master Liu righteously said.
Following that, Master Liu spoke a few words as if he was talking about family matters. Seeing Master Liu’s smug expression, it seemed like a good thing had happened.
As expected, after a short while, the warlord powers clashed, and the previous incident of hijacking caused the other warlord of Shanxi Province, Yan Du, to lose a lot. In addition to fighting on the foreign side, Officer Liu took advantage of this opportunity and successfully entered Tai Yuan City to recuperate.
Wu Anguo originally wanted the tax revenue of Qu Yang County, but since the department didn’t open their mouths to help, it didn’t seem too likely. Raising so many soldiers in one day would cost a lot of money, hundreds of people, food, clothes, and guns… It was unrealistic to “borrow” money every day. Wu Anguo was worried. There really was no way he could prepare to take out his private money.
Cousin Xu was someone who could not afford to be idle, but Wu Anguo had not yet decided what to do for him, given his work history.
As for Xu Bao, he was a fresh person. After interrogating him for a few days, he found it difficult to play around with him. Although he had gotten himself a title of Qingtian the Female, she still felt baffled.
So he asked Xu Bao if he was willing to support him in his business.
Xu Bao saw that his cousin was also very relaxed, so he gave the money his husband gave him to his cousin.
His cousin cried when he saw the three gold bars that his cousin handed to him generously.
“Cousin, believe me. Cousin will definitely earn money and return. In this life, you are the first person to believe you. Cousin once borrowed money from my dad, he was not willing to even give it to you.” Xu Sanduo was truly touched. As he looked at his cousin’s foolish expression, he did not hesitate to bring the gold bars over.
At night.
Xu Bao: Big Brother, are those three gold bars for me?
Wu Anguo: Yes, lass, that’s our private money. Hide it well.
Xu Bao: But big brother, I’ve already given it to my cousin to do business.
Wu Anguo: Are you sure you gave it to your cousin?
Xu Bao nodded firmly.
Wu Anguo blew out the candle, picked up Xu Bao and made her lie down on his lap. I told you not to! My gold bars! My private money…
The next day, the wronged Xu Bao wanted to ask his cousin for the gold bars. His cousin was gone. Letter: Cousin, I will definitely come back.
Xu Bao looked at his husband’s eyes again. During breakfast, she didn’t even dare to pick up the minced meat that was placed in front of him. In the end, Wu Anguo gave it to her before lowering his head and quickly eating.
Wu Anguo had long since forgiven this little girl for being so wronged, but he still didn’t reveal a smile on his face. His expression was cold as he left for work right after he finished his meal.
When a leader can be very idle or very busy, it depends on which type you are willing to do. Wu Anguo is the very busy type, wishing that he could do everything personally. This way, he would have the advantage of ensuring good communication with his subordinates and familiarity with the work. The downside was that the overall situation wasn’t too good.
Xu Bao was upset. This was the first time she realized that she had done something wrong. She didn’t seem to be very bored all day. Seeing that her mistress wasn’t happy, Third Aunt wanted to take her out to relax.
Xu Bao did not pay attention as he followed her out. She was afraid that she would run into her husband’s dark face at home, but now that she thought about it, her butt still hurt, but she also had other strange feelings.
Xu Bao really wanted to die. Why was it that the wrinkles on Third Aunt Mao’s face could pinch a fly to death, and she even liked colorful clothes so much? This time, Xu Bao did not hide from her, he accompanied his third aunt, seeing that she was touching this piece of cloth, and also that piece of cloth, he seemed to want all of it, but the cloth was very expensive, he could not buy it all. Xu Bao saw his third aunt hesitating, and felt very regretful in his heart, no wonder her husband was angry with him, he was too wasteful, so he gave the gold bar to his cousin, if he gave it to Third Aunt, he could buy a lot of cloth, and Third Aunt would not be so conflicted.
For the first time, the carefree Xu Bao recognized the role of money. Seeing her reluctant Third Aunt, Xu Bao did not shout loudly and bought it. Because she had just lost a lot of money, she suddenly made a crazy decision to buy cloth.
Xu Bao was someone who rarely had ideas, so he would definitely do what he did. The next day, he secretly went to find Song Yihan, the soldier trainer.
“Brother Song, if I want to leave, can you give it to me?” Xu Bao cautiously asked when he saw Song Yihan.
Song Yihan had not had a chance to speak with Xu Bao for a long time. Since Xu Bao had asked for his help, he agreed without a second thought.
Seeing Xu Bao’s happy expression, he was happy.
By the time Wu Anguo found out that Song Yihan had actually given that girl fifty soldiers, it was already too late. Xu Bao had taken those fifty men to buy cloth.
Wu Anguo looked at Song Yi Han, his expression grim. He needed an explanation.
“Captain, these soldiers are all old and weak, their physical fitness is not good, and they are hard to train.” Captain, these soldiers are all old and weak, and their physical qualities are not good, and they are hard to train. Song Yi Han confidently explained as he deeply buried the trace of affection in his heart that was similar to Wu An Guo.
Wu Anguo had no choice but to give up after hearing that. In his heart, he started to think about that little girl again. With over fifty subordinates, he still didn’t know how much trouble he would suffer.
Currently, Xu Bao was bringing her new subordinates into the city. Previously, she had heard from her cousin that Taiyuan’s cloth was much more beautiful than that of Crooked Yang County, and much cheaper as well.
Xu Bao was about to go to Taiyuan to buy cloth.
Entering Taiyuan City, this group of soldiers were all very fresh, as expected, it was a big city, very bustling, and there were even pictures of Shanghai singing girls hanging on the roadside, very lively, their breasts were all exposed, as well as their white legs, making these soldiers who had never seen a market before salivate.
Xu Bao had someone lead them to the largest cloth farm in Taiyuan before heading in with Wu Zhong.
Because he had gone out, Xu Bao’s clothes were casual and plain, just like those of an ordinary female student. They were convenient and comfortable, and after entering the village, there were some waiters who came to greet him, but they were not very enthusiastic.
The shop assistant had a disdainful expression as he replied, “What is it? It’s the same thing when you look for me.”
Xu Bao was honest and said, “Okay, I want to buy a hundred pieces of cloth.”
That shop assistant laughed when he heard this. How is that possible? You can’t even afford a single one with your outfit. He has already treated Xu Bao as someone who is here to mess with him.
He immediately asked with a smile, “Are you really going to buy a hundred?”
Xu Bao nodded seriously.
The shop assistant laughed in an even more exaggerated manner. He attracted many people to come over. This was the largest cloth farm in Taiyuan city, the Hundred Miles City. Business was good and there were many people. When they saw something interesting, they squeezed over.
This made Xu Bao very uncomfortable. When the shop assistant saw Xu Bao’s frown, he thought she was afraid and laughed even more recklessly. “Everyone come and judge, this little girl said she could buy a hundred pieces of cloth. You guys think it’s funny, but not funny.”
Hearing the price of a hundred, the surrounding people all laughed. This Hundred Li Clothing Manor was the best cloth shop in Taiyuan City, and the cloth here was beautiful and durable, I heard that it was all manufactured from foreign machines, and it was extremely expensive. The price was not a small one, and seeing how this girl was dressed, it was certain that she couldn’t afford it, it was truly a joke.
“What are you laughing at? We want to buy cloth, if you can make the decision then do it, if you can’t make the decision then just say so earlier, don’t waste our time. ” When Wu Zhong saw that his mistress had been mocked, he jumped out in anger.
However, Wu Zhong had been serving others for a long time, so his manner of speaking and dressing up were not very good. This made him even more suspicious.
The shop assistant was sure that they were here to cause trouble, and teased, “Don’t say that you two can buy a hundred, but even if I bought a round cloth, you two still wouldn’t be able to afford it.”
Xu Bao was a very sincere person. As soon as he heard someone was able to make the decision, he felt that the cloth here was indeed cheap. He only paid one yuan and nodded, asking Wu Zhong to call someone over.
When the shop assistant saw Wu Zhong leave, he thought Wu Zhong was just laughing at him. He was thin-skinned, so he left first. But then, a group of soldiers came in orderly one after another. Everyone stopped laughing. Chaos soldiers were like bandits, even more ruthless than bandits. Who was this ordinary-looking person? How could he have so many subordinates when he was out in the open?
The shop assistant panicked and quickly ran upstairs to look for the shopkeeper.
Xu Bao’s expression became a bit impatient. She was hungry and in a bad mood. Seeing that the shop assistant had arrived, he gloomily asked, “Have you started to move the clothes?”
The shop assistant’s left cheek was already swollen, as if he had been beaten. An older man carefully smiled at Xu Bao and said, “Wife, please take whatever cloth you like as a shocking gift for Madam.”
Xu Bao thought for a moment, shook his head and said, “My big brother doesn’t want me to take other people’s things, so I might as well buy it. Just now, your shop assistant said that he can make the decision.”
One circle? A hundred? The shopkeeper immediately felt dizzy.
There was only so much fabric in the store, and it wasn’t like there was dirt on the floor. In addition, in order to pursue a new trend, their store didn’t have much stock, and since their business was good, they didn’t have much left.
Xu Bao did not care. The things you promised, you can’t go back on your word.
At this time, the shopkeeper saw the sturdy soldiers entering in a line and then leaving in a line. At this time, the storekeeper saw the sturdy soldiers entering in a line and then leaving in a line, and suddenly the storefront seemed to be empty.
He knew the commander’s subordinate, Officer Liu, and even invited him to a meal. If he could invite him over, then today would be the last day. This group of soldiers would go wherever they came from.
Xu Bao did not have the heart to study the hearts of others. Since you agreed, one round, one hundred pieces, without any stock, I will just move the shop over.
The shopkeeper had a smile on his face, and the surrounding people were all watching. After a while, everyone under Xu Bao’s command, except for Wu Zhong, carried two pieces of cloth.
Xu Bao was about to give him the money when a new army arrived. The clothes they wore were much better than those of Xu Bao’s soldiers who were carrying cloth, and they were also equipped with a full set of weapons.
The storekeeper, who had a smile on his face a moment ago, immediately threw the money to Xu Bao when he saw that Liu had arrived. “You actually dare to steal something from me by relying on numbers? I will let you have a hard time!”
The storekeeper flicked Xu Bao’s face and warmly welcomed him: “Senior Liu, I am truly sorry, but I will trouble you with such a small matter. However, some people are truly outrageous. They actually forced themselves to buy things, and are even maliciously suppressing the price.”
He was the first to complain. Although everyone present was aware of this, it seemed that the forces on both sides were not to be trifled with. As a result, they both chose to remain silent.
This time, Xu Bao was angry. She had such a good temper, yet when she came back for dinner, you guys actually went back on your word.
Of course, I’m here to help. It’s just a small favor.” He walked over to Xu Bao.
Everyone felt that this girl was extremely wronged, she was probably in for a hard time today.
In the end, when Liu came over and saw Xu Bao, he was stunned for a moment before slapping the smiling shopkeeper in the face!
