Chapter 149: Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Nine: Idle Chatter

The Red Army wife next to her introduced her, “Her name is Kong Ya, her man is Vice Company Commander Wang. She’s an old military wife who’s really good at talking. Normally, we don’t have much to do, so we love to visit each other, chat a bit like this, pick up and drop off kids and stuff. We’re all straightforward people. Sometimes we old women speak a bit crudely, so don’t laugh at us.”

The Red Army wife was indeed enthusiastic, and once she opened her mouth, it felt like she couldn’t stop. The other military wives around her helped with the introductions.

Yang Peimin silently took note and greeted everyone.

Then the Red Army wife asked her about her future plans concerning accompanying the military.

Yang Peimin smiled and said, “That hasn’t been decided yet. I’ll be staying here for a few days, but then I have to go back; there are things to take care of at home.”

The Red Army wife laughed and asked, “What could there be to do? Haven’t your elders divided the family property? Isn’t the farm work done according to work points? Even if you don’t go back, the salary from Shen Ying’s position will more than cover things. Besides, you don’t have kids yet. Take advantage of accompanying the military and try to have a child soon. As someone who’s been through it, I can see these are good things. You shouldn’t miss out. A young couple should stay together if they can. You see, Shen Ying doesn’t even have anyone to wash clothes or cook meals; it’s really pitiful, right?”
