Chapter 175: Chapter 174: How Deep is the Scheme of Chief Tang Da (8) Chapter 175: Chapter 174: How Deep is the Scheme of Chief Tang Da (8) Luo Gang snorted coldly, pushing through the crowd and returning to his tent.
The outside was bustling and chaotic, which had nothing to do with them.
Li Xiaoxia had been in the house helping her two sons recognize characters, having only finished a few when she saw Su Shu return, her face flushed with anger. As soon as she came back, she sat on the bed and started to grumble, âWhatâs the use of being connected? If Iâm connected, I canât even beat someone up properly!â
After muttering several times, she yelled out loud several times.
Li Xiaoxia was so scared that she didnât dare ask what happened but waited until Luo Gang came back to find out the reason.
After knowing the reason, Li Xiaoxiaâs face darkened with anger too.
âWhat kind of people are these! Is it the woman who came to ask Su Shu for two bags of milk powder? Shameless woman, how old is her son? Fifteen or sixteen, right? What does he need milk powder for, hasnât he been weaned yet? Milk powder is Xiaoâaiâs staple food; Su Shu only had that one bag, and only half a bag left now. Those people are really too shameless, calling her âGroup Captainâs wifeâ and scavenging so much stuff. I think her luggageâs clothes must be empty by half now! She even gave away two rabbit fur blankets; how can someone be so insatiable!â
Even as a bystander, Li Xiaoxia was angered by this.
After todayâs events, she really wasâŠ
Originally, she thought it was a good thing that Su Shu had a connection with Group Captain Tang, but one issue after another invited envy, making life difficult.
Su Shu had been lying down in anger, but after hearing Li Xiaoxia ranting nonstop, she suddenly sat up, crossed her legs, and gave a chilly, mocking laugh.
Her laughter made Li Xiaoxia, who was sitting beside her, worry, âGirl, are you okay?â
Su Shu sneered, âIâm fine. They think Iâm a sick cat because I donât show my claws! I just wonât give it to her, what about that, let her complain wherever she wants! What about being the Group Captainâs fiancĂ©e? Did I eat an extra piece of bread, or did I take an extra bag of noodles? Isnât it the same for everyone? My own things, I bought them with my money, why should I give them to her? And she still doesnât like me â ha, there are plenty who donât like me, whatâs she in the grand scheme of things!â
Li Xiaoxia was stunned by her torrent of fierce words for quite some time.
She had always thought that Su Shu was a gentle and smart girl who handled things stably and adapted well to any situation. Even in a disaster, she seldom saw anxiety, tension, or pain on her face; she calmly accepted the situation and tried hard to change her living environment, and for that, she really liked her.
Suddenly seeing this other side of the girl shocked her, and after the shock, Li Xiaoxia was very pleased.
âRight, girl, youâre thinking correctly. Donât let such people trouble you. Donât take their idle talk to heart; some people just canât stand to see others doing well and feel uncomfortable if they canât take advantage,â she said.
âYeah, itâs fine,â Su Shu said.
âDid a lot of people arrive outside?â Li Xiaoxia, keen to divert the topic in case she felt down.
Su Shu replied, âYes, I saw about a hundred people come back, looking quite miserable. Surviving isnât easy.
âItâs lucky to get back at all; the suburbs are chaotic, but itâs safer here.â
âRight.â
âBy the way, is your Group Captain Tang back too?â
Just as Su Shu was about to drink water, she suddenly choked upon hearing âyourââŠ
âSister XiaoxiaâŠâ
âOh, still shy, are you? This rumorâs been boiling over; even if itâs fake, itâd seem true by now. I saw that group captain once; heâs tall, handsome, and looks like a decent person. Heâs so capable too; whatâs there not to match with you? Would that be beneath you?â Li Xiaoxia teased.
