Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 19

The shopkeeper was so shocked that his eyes seemed to shine like stars, and before he knew what was going on, he saw the normally arrogant and arrogant Elder Liu smiling as he stood in front of a woman, nodding and bowing as he said, “Madam Wu, why have you come to Taiyuan? Just don’t say anything, I’ll go pick you up first. Madam has just returned from abroad and is still thinking about you. ”

This person was none other than the distant nephew of the teacher’s wife, Xiao Liu. When he saw Xu Bao, he immediately realized the truth. Although this girl was very stupid, she was someone that his wife liked. Her husband, Wu Anguo, was also very fond of her, and he definitely could not afford to offend her.

It had been a long time since she last saw her teacher’s wife, so she missed her quite a bit. But since she had something to do today, Xu Bao could only regretfully say, “Little Liu, I also miss Big Sis Qiu, but I have something to do today. I’ll be visiting you next time.”

The shopkeeper over there heard Little Liu… Big Sis Qiu … I feel dizzy, so I asked Liu to be my little Liu… He called the wife of his teacher as his elder sister … “At this moment, he felt that he really wanted to beat that shop assistant to death. To think that he would provoke such an enemy in any way.

“Hundred Manager, what did you say just now?” Xiao Liu turned around and asked with a dark expression, “You dare to bully a person that teacher and wife like? You must be tired of living.”

“Misunderstanding, misunderstood. Officer Liu, this lady wants to buy clothes, I saw that she bought so many things, I was worried that Taiyuan security was not good, so I specifically asked you to help maintain it. I didn’t expect you two to actually know each other.” The shopkeeper wanted to die. A cloth with ten yuan each! Yet, he still wore a smile on his face.

“That’s fine. If Mrs. Wu comes back to buy cloth in the future, you must take care of her. You must not raise the price.” Little Liu scolded sternly.

“I don’t dare, I don’t dare. It’s not because they’re buying too many things, I’m afraid they won’t be able to take it away. I was just about to get the shop assistant to send it over.” The shopkeeper wiped the sweat off his forehead and said nervously.

Xu Bao didn’t give the storekeeper any face. He threw him a hundred Yuan and left with his men.

Little Liu even brought people to escort him out of the city.

Xu Bao thought for a moment and picked out a pair of clothes that the head teacher and his wife liked and asked him to help them bring back. Naturally, Little Liu would not delay it, she would definitely be happy when she went back.

By the time he arrived at Crooked Yang County, it was already past noon. Xu Bao was so hungry that he felt dizzy. He thought that if he went shopping again, he must bring some food along the way.

Having asked Wu Zhong to buy some refreshed snacks, Xu Bao was in no mood to stop. He led the group of soldiers carrying cloth and arrived at the soft silk cloth manor.

Manager Wang knew Xu Bao. When he saw her, he quickly went to welcome her personally. “Madam Wu, what brings you here? If you like any cloth, go ahead and pick it. I’ll have someone deliver it to the mansion later.”

It was a bit hot, and Xu Bao’s forehead was a bit sweaty. His face was also red, and he was in a good mood as he laughed so hard that his teeth were gritted, causing him to feel a moment of dizziness. He thought to himself, The Captain’s wife is indeed very pretty, and although she was from the countryside, I’ve never seen her look so likeable.

“Manager Wang, I’m not here to buy cloth, I’m here to sell cloth. Look, do you have to buy these cloth?” When Xu Bao pulled Manager Wang out, Manager Wang didn’t dare to disobey. When he walked to the front door, he saw dozens of soldiers holding two pieces of cloth. It was a spectacular sight to behold.

This was not the first time Manager Wang had interacted with Xu Bao. He knew that Madame Wu did not have any scheming and was a foolish person. If she said that she wanted to sell cloth, then she would sell cloth. Good! It was really a good cloth. The color was good and it was the most popular cloth this year. The quality was also good, so he could tell that it was manufactured by a machine with a single glance.

He was a businessman, and he liked this idea very much. His expression was still as solemn as usual. After he finished reading, he asked Xu Bao, “I wonder how much Madame Wu is selling this cloth for?”

Xu Bao was bought in one go, so she did not know the market price of cloth. However, seeing that Manager Wang had such a big nose, her father said that this kind of person would not covet someone cheap. Thus, she said with a sigh of relief, “I bought this from the Hundred Miles Cloth Guild.

Seeing Xu Bao be so generous, Manager Wang was very excited. Lady Wu was really different from the others. He thought she was a bit stupid. She was such a fool! There were very few people who could do business so easily. Moreover, it was the cloth of a hundred li cloth village. There was no need to mention its quality, and he himself also wanted to bring it in from there. However, this person was extremely rich and would not even bother with a small town’s cloth.

Manager Wang immediately made up his mind. “Mrs. Wu, I know that cloth isn’t cheap. How about this, I’ll give you eleven yuan for each piece. How about that?”

Xu Bao couldn’t read very well, but he knew how to do it pretty well. She had only bought one round, yet he had sold it for eleven. It was truly too much.

Seeing the frown on Xu Bao’s face, Manager Wang thought she thought it was too little, so he hurriedly explained, “Mrs. Wu, my offer price is quite fair, the 100 li of cloth sold in the city is about 10 yuan each. No matter how much it is, I don’t have any profits.

Xu Bao was just too happy, he patted Manager Wang’s shoulder and said, “Shopkeeper Wang’s Third Aunt really likes your clothes and says you made them very well. How about this, each ten circle is good, I will keep two and give the rest to you, but can you help me make three hundred sets of uniform sets?”

That was close to one hundred yuan. Hearing that she wanted to make the military uniform, the cost of the uniform was different from the clothes worn by women. As long as the fabric was durable, it was very cheap.

Thus, after a day had passed, Xu Bao spent a hundred yuan and earned nearly a thousand yuan … She had given each of her subordinates a round of bonuses. It was such a beautiful thing to give them! Even in his dreams, he was smiling, thinking that it would be great if he could go out with the captain’s wife tomorrow.

Song Yihan was not wrong about this, but today, they were carrying cloth from Taiyuan to Qu Yang, as well as a young mistress. They had spent a lot of time running, but in their hearts, they were all very happy, and every one of them was very happy.

In the evening, Xu Bao was still waiting for her husband to come back to hand over the money. However, after running for a day, she was tired to the point of choking. After waiting for a while, she fell asleep.

Wu Anguo was still working, discussing with his Battalion Commanders about how to solve the economic problems ahead of them. Wu Anguo initially wanted to use his private money to support his soldiers, but he was tricked away by her cousin by Xu Bao. Now, he probably couldn’t even afford to eat meat, let alone make new clothes for his soldiers in the autumn. Fortunately, every soldier still had firearms that had been eliminated by the division. They had saved a huge sum of money, but they were running out of bullets as well. It was impossible for them to let those soldiers practice dummy handlebars with guns all day long …

Late at night, Wu Anguo returned to his room. Seeing the little girl sound asleep, a faint smile hung on his face. He didn’t know what good thing had happened, but his mood relaxed.

When Xu Bao woke up the next day, his husband had already left for work. Xu Bao thought that his big brother was still angry with her and did not dare to go find him, afraid that he would be beaten like a fart in front of everyone.

Xu Bao looked at the meat and ate. He casually picked up a bit of it and then went to find Third Aunt and gave her the two pieces of cloth that were left over from yesterday.

Third Aunt was so excited to death when she saw these two large, red, and green pieces of cloth that she almost couldn’t hold Xu Bao up. She even wiped away two tears. “Young Mistress is still the best …”

Third Aunt soon began to recall when she was young. Xu Bao saw that she was still hugging the cloth and didn’t wake up for a long time. He quickly changed the topic and asked, “Third Aunt, why aren’t we making meat anymore?”

Third Aunt was a chatterbox, so Xu Bao took the initiative to ask about it. She immediately forgot about her childhood and said, “Young Mistress, you don’t know about it, but there’s a war going on outside. The pigs are all panicking, and the price of pork has also risen.

Xu Bao asked curiously, “Even pigs can panic?” Is that panicked pig not tasty? ”

Third Aunt could not keep up with the young mistress’s train of thoughts, so she replied subconsciously, “Of course, the pork is sour. Third Aunt could not keep up with the young mistress’ way of thinking, so she subconsciously replied,” Of course, the pork is sour.

Listening to Third Aunt’s coaxing, Xu Bao almost drooled. That’s right, how could she not have thought that returning to get a few pigs would improve everyone’s food.

Today, they were going to die actively, while the other soldiers were not focused at first, but when they came back and saw how tired they were, they heard that they were carrying heavy objects from Taiyuan to Qu Yang, and their legs were broken in sympathy, but they were even more afraid that they would be chosen as well. Thus, when Song Yi Han and Li Zilong were training, they found out for the first time that these soldiers were much more active than usual, but for some reason, they didn’t know why.

Xu Bao brought them back to their hometown. Master Wu was overjoyed to see his daughter-in-law, but the unfilial son actually didn’t return with them. Although Xu Bao said that his son was very busy, Master Wu still felt sorry for his daughter-in-law.

He could only hope that Xu Bao would be satisfied in other areas.

Xu Bao’s eyes were filled with tears as he said, “Wood has meat to eat. I want to buy a few pigs and return here.” That bastard actually didn’t even give him meat. This was too outrageous. If he wasn’t in the countryside, he would have had to teach that brat a lesson after entering the city.

“Bao`er, just you wait, I’ll go buy a pig for you while you eat lunch at home.” Master Wu had settled Xu Bao down, and even those fifty soldiers had been treated extremely lavishly. After all, they were his son’s subordinates. There were all kinds of chicken, duck, fish, meat, and other types of meat. Those soldiers had been working tirelessly for most of the day, and had never thought that there would be so much delicious food, so they immediately felt grateful for the young mistress.

But now, all of them were in high spirits.

Xu Bao still had a nap after his meal and woke up. After a while, when her father still hadn’t come back, she thought to herself, “Could it be that even the country pig is ill with anxiety?” Why was he gone so long?

Just as he was deep in thought, his father came back with a look of excitement on his face. “Bao`er, you’re here! Come and take a look with your father!”

Xu Bao followed him out to take a look. It was as white as a flower. They were all pigs! Her original intention was to get something to eat, but she did not expect her father to be so active. There were probably dozens of them. When they saw that there were farmers waiting in line outside with pigs, all of them looked elated.

The peasants were all chattering amongst themselves — — Did you hear? These idiots from the city wanted to buy pigs, right, hurry up and sell them. This year, there was no one left to eat; a pig couldn’t even be sold for 20 yuan, this was 25 yuan, it was worth it!

When Xu Bao saw that his father had gathered all his men and attracted everyone nearby, he was so excited that he could not count the number of pigs. He looked at the sky and decided that he had to hurry back to the city and make an agreement to return in two days. Today, he asked the soldiers to carry one pig into the city and carry 24 heads.
