Wife’s Funny Life - Chapter 20
Xu Bao was as honest as those pigs. In the Republic of China, there was a bamboo sedan chair which was very convenient for two people. In the middle of it was a soft chair, and Xu Bao was sitting on it.
The pigs had their four legs tied up, with a big stick between them. They put it on their shoulders and left. After all, Xu Bao was fragrant and light. As for those pigs, they were yelling and stinking in the heat. Some of the pigs even urinated on the spot. In short, it was a very laborious job.
Everyone was tired from walking all the way, but their hearts were filled with joy!
“Heh heh heh heh …” Zhu Bajie came to carry his wife! Today, I will carry Zhu Bajie on my back! “Heh heh heh …” The soldiers were all singing the mountain song, and Xu Bao was also giggling foolishly, not even realizing that he had also been included in the list of disciples of Zhu Bajie.
He heard that there were pigs, and they were even big pigs with good looks who came all the way from Wutai Village. Pigs with fat bodies and more fat flesh, the bosses of the pork shops and the pork stalls were all excited. They all sent out their family’s brawny workers to wait at the market, hoping to snatch a few more.
Even if they had the money, they still wouldn’t be able to buy meat in the county. It was too expensive, and they didn’t have the connections, so going to the countryside to collect pork would take a whole day, but they still wouldn’t be able to pay for it. At this time, it was inconvenient to travel, and it was also inconvenient to communicate. Furthermore, the scenery in Wutai Village was great, and all the pigs that had been raised said that the oil was good, but there were many bandits, and no one dared to go there. If they really did come from there, selling one for 60 yuan wasn’t too expensive.
Xu Bao shakily made his way to the market. When he saw the big men with large sabers in their hands looking at his group with ominous glints in their eyes, he was shocked.
Xu Bao stood there foolishly. Just as he stopped, that group of people rushed over. They were all holding pig slaughtering knives, and they were all snatching one for themselves.
The person who had gotten the pig was extremely excited, but he didn’t bargain. The big one gave 60 yuan while the small one gave 50 yuan. One by one, they carried the pig as if they were hugging a wife. Immediately, Xu Bao carried the pig closest to him. No one was allowed to snatch it from her, and she also wanted to eat the pork …
Soon, all the pigs were gone. Xu Bao happily took a lot of money. The soldiers were also very happy. They had just carried the pig that the wife of the captain and the wife of the captain back to the team section. There was meat to be eaten tonight!
Back at the team section, the other soldiers had already finished their training. Although they were covered in sweat, when they saw the fifty people following the wife of the captain, not only were their bodies covered in sweat, they were also covered in smelly feces. They mocked them for a while and secretly warned themselves that they must train properly.
However, everyone had meat at night. Although it wasn’t much, it seemed to be really tasty, more delicious than usual, especially those fifty soldiers. They all had a sweet taste in their mouths.
Xu Bao was exhausted. After taking a bath and eating, he wanted to wait for his husband to praise him. However, when his husband arrived, she was already dozing off.
Wu Anguo felt very helpless in his heart. Originally, he wanted to teach this little girl a lesson, but then he was just messing around and actually took his hands to the countryside to buy pork to eat, which was a thought only shared by this little girl. But seeing that everyone was eating so happily, and this little girl was so tired that she was dozing off, Wu Anguo’s heart softened.
Over the next few days, Xu Bao brought soldiers back and forth from Wutai Village to Crooked Yang County. Those soldiers ate meat and carried pigs everyday while doing manual labor, yet they grew stronger day by day.
Finally, one day, Xu Bao became depressed.
She didn’t want to eat pork anymore. Eating pork every day was really uncreative. Furthermore, she had been too lively for so long. It seemed like she had already made enough money.
One day, the four men were so worried that their hair almost turned white. Until today, the Sixth Regiment was in a state of panic due to the military salary. Although the thorns had been tidied up and no one dared to mess with them, they still had to deal with this problem. Li Zilong suggested that they go and extort some money from the bandits. However, the current state of training was still inappropriate. Song Yihan suggested that Wu Anguo should visit the division once more. Wu Anguo also sighed helplessly. This time around, the division leader didn’t even want to see him and couldn’t go anymore …
Xu Bao had his men carry a large bag over and place it on the table. He said in a domineering manner, “Big brother, I don’t want to eat pork tomorrow. I want to eat beef.”
When Wu Anguo saw the little girl, his frown immediately warmed up. Song Yihan also wore a smile on his face.
However, although Wu Anguo liked girls, such occasions weren’t good for making a fuss, so he softly scolded, “Little Treasure, big brother has proper business to discuss. Be good and go play somewhere else first. We can talk about meat later tonight.”
“I won’t!” Xu Bao sat down angrily, not caring about the position of the boss in the middle. He stretched out his hand to open the cloth bag, and in the end, he poured out the money in front of everyone, filling the table with money.
Zhang Shiqing was on the verge of tears. Where did this money come from? He immediately took a piece and blew it into his mouth and put it to his ear. There was indeed a melodious ringing sound.
Li Zilong was even more exaggerated. He directly took a bite out of a piece of silver coin …
Song Yihan held a stack of silver banknotes, his face filled with incredulity. This … where did this come from?
Seeing their shocked expressions, Xu Bao innocently said, “You don’t know? This is what I earned from selling cloth and pigs! Didn’t you guys eat pork every day … ”
The group of men looked at each other. Looking at Xu Bao’s appearance, they really wanted to buy tofu and kill him. That works too! Song Yihan’s attack was especially heavy. He had seen a lot of things outside the country, and had never thought of a way to make money. He never thought that those who wanted to make a fool of themselves could earn as much money as Bao’er.
Wu Anguo was surprised and happy at the same time. Every time, that little girl would give him a surprise, but it was a happy surprise.
“Great, little girl. With money, I can get some clothes for the soldiers!” Wu Anguo happily kissed Xu Bao on the spot.
Song Yi Han gaped, and Xu Bao was also stunned. Damn, Big Bro is shooting at me again, this is too bad, in front of other people, she has to kiss back in return, but she felt embarrassed, so she turned her head to look elsewhere, only to see Big Bro Song looking at her with misty eyes. Xu Bao was depressed, why are you so excited? Big Brother, you’re kissing me, not you!
“Reporting, the shopkeeper of Silk Cloth Village has sent over three hundred sets of military uniforms for your wife to check on.” Just as he was feeling awkward inside, the guard outside came in to inform him.
Hearing this, Li Zilong was excited and said happily, “Sister-in-law, you are too amazing. In this life, my son, Long, has never worshipped anyone. You are the first one.”
Xu Bao was very shy. At that time, she only wanted to take advantage of the situation, but she didn’t think that her big brother and the others would be so happy.
On this side, the sixth regiment was overjoyed. The next day, the person from the military department came down.
The people’s eyes turned red with envy at the sight of the guns and military uniforms that he had brought with him so much money. They all wanted to get a share of the profits. Officer Liu was a subordinate of Commander Feng Yuxiang, and this paid commissioner came from the headquarters. Officer Liu had just occupied Taiyuan City, so the commander was very happy.
Of course, they were not happy. Even if their subordinates were to work, they would have to give the horses food. If the horses wanted to run, they would have to give the horses grass. Thus, they made an exception and brought so many military assets with them. However, in such a chaotic war between the warlords, the commander had to be both afraid and afraid of his subordinates being too powerful. He was also afraid that the money would be used to buy money for his subordinates, so he sent some people down to distribute the information to the actual units, to the teams that were truly in need of fighting ability.
That was the truth, but it was not the Commissioner’s word yet.
When they arrived at the division meeting, the other five Regiments’ Regiments were all fighting to get the Commissioner to stay with them, but only Wu Anguo did not speak. It was not that Wu Anguo did not want to speak, but he was ranked sixth and had the least qualifications.
Senior Liu didn’t like the anxious faces of his subordinates. Even if they were to give him money, his real boss would still be me. He waved his hand and tossed the task of receiving the special representative to Wu Anguo.
In comparison, he still had a good impression of Wu Anguo. Besides, his wife was on good terms with him, and he was relatively well-informed. As such, Wu Anguo was a hot-blooded youth, and was easier to control.
The envoys were indeed very magnanimous, ignoring everyone else. Although the captains did not receive any mission, they all rushed to show their faces in front of the envoys, wanting to know if they had any special preferences.
On the other hand, Wu Anguo, the receptionist, was pushed far away. However, he was in no hurry.
Senior Liu liked doing this a little bit more. Not bad, he was calm and composed in the face of trouble. He had the bearing of a great general.
The commissioner’s hair was combed straight and shiny. He wore small glasses and was silent. However, he had a smile on his face. It was obvious that he was a shrewd person.
He seemed to have said everything to everyone, but also seemed to have said nothing.
When it came to the sixth regiment, Wu Anguo didn’t have a proper reception, not even a proper banquet. There were only a few household dishes arranged by Zhang Shiqing.
But it’s too shabby, and I’m afraid the commissioner won’t like it. In any case, after some thought, Wu Anguo still felt that it should be done according to Shiqing’s plan.
As expected, the Commissioner’s face showed some displeasure, but he quickly suppressed it and started to eat.
Originally, he had no appetite. After a long journey, he was surrounded for another day. As a result, after eating a few mouthfuls, he suddenly realized that the dishes were much more appetizing than those of the feast. The entire table was made of vegetable, with only a bowl of Red Braised Meat in the middle.
The color matching was very good. Although it wasn’t as complete as the meat of a chicken or duck, it was still surprisingly happy to eat.
The commissioner’s mood had clearly improved. He found Wu Anguo pleasing to the eye and the sixth group pleasing to the eye. Especially Madame Wu, who had a silly look on her face.
Wu Anguo and company wanted to know what the Commissioner liked to do, but no one had found out. It seemed like there was no hope. However, to Xu Bao, it was obvious that he had nothing to worry about. When he was eating, he noticed that everyone was very respectful to him. He curiously asked, “What kind of official is the special envoy?”
The commissioner had seen many officials and wives, but he had never seen such a silly person. He immediately replied with a smile, “You can call me Brother Wang. I’m not some government official, I’m just here to make some money.”
When Xu Bao heard the money, he exclaimed in surprise, “So Big Brother Wang is their parents. No wonder they are trying to please you.”
When the Commissioner heard about his parents, he was so happy that he even waved his hands modestly and said, “I don’t dare, I don’t dare!”
“What does Big Brother Wang like to do? I heard that they were all inquiring about it today. It seems to be very mysterious. ” Xu Bao asked curiously.
Hearing such a straightforward question, the commissioner was not angry at all. He smiled and said, “I don’t have any special interests. I just like to play mahjong when I’m free.”
“Wow, Big Brother Wang, I can also play mahjong. Really, big sister Qiu just taught me to recognize mahjong. I know every single one of them.” Xu Bao said confidently.
He thought of his luck and how no one would dare to fight him, even those who were familiar with him would not dare to. He might as well win a large sum of money here as a reward for his business trip and laughed, “Really? Hearing you say that, my hands are itchy. How about you guys play a few rounds with me tonight?”
