"Excuse me, is Cheng Liguo here? By the way, you must be Cheng Qiao, right? I'm Jiang Meili."
Jiang Meili came to ask Cheng Liguo to help her act as a middleman. When she saw Cheng Qiao, she thought of Cheng Liguo. The father and daughter looked very similar. "Jiang Meili, my brother's girlfriend."
"Cheng Qiao, thank you for the song you wrote for me. Everyone said it was nice and in line with the atmosphere of celebrating the Lantern Festival. I also like the scarf you gave me."
"You're welcome. I didn't write that song either. Come on in and talk. It's cold outside."
Cheng Qiao invited Jiang Meili in, then secretly took out a new teacup and made a cup of brown sugar water for Jiang Meili.
"Oh my, brown sugar water, Cheng Qiao you are so nice, I really want to marry Li Bing and be your sister-in-law."
"Then you should get married. Mom has been complaining about why your eldest brother hasn't gotten married yet, and her hair has turned white with anxiety."
"Cheng Qiao, please help me. I don't want to be separated from Li Bing."
Cheng Qiao was shocked. How could they be separated when everything went well? However, after her rebirth, Cheng Qiao would no longer help others with enthusiasm like before. Instead, she learned to weigh the pros and cons.
"Li Bing told me that Guoqing was going to look for your man because he trusted me. I accidentally revealed this to my team leader, causing Guoqing to get hurt."
"You... why did your captain do this?"
Cheng Qiao was stunned for a moment. No wonder Li Bing wanted to break up with Jiang Meili. But Li Bing was also wrong. How could he tell Jiang Meili about such a thing
But Li Bing couldn't be blamed. Just like himself, he had a treasure but he didn't tell Li Huan. For a moment, Cheng Qiao didn't know what to say.
"Does your captain have a grudge against Qin Guoqing?"
"I don't know. I only care about singing and dancing. I don't pay attention to anything else."
Okay, another naive person, but this matter is not something that Cheng Qiao can decide alone. At least she needs to know what Li Bing wants to do.
Li Bing stood in front of Qin Daqiang, not daring to raise his head in shame. He told Qin Daqiang truthfully about all the mistakes he had made and was willing to accept any punishment.
"Alas, Li Bing, it's not that you're stupid, but the other party is too good at taking advantage of loopholes. For these supplies, other brother units have already become greedy, and even the art troupe has joined in the fun."
"But the art troupe has special channels, and they don't lack supplies."
"Have you forgotten who Liu Xiaojuan's man is?"
Li Bing lowered his head again. Liu Xiaojuan's man had competed with Qin Daqiang for the position of regiment leader. In the end, the higher-ups weighed the interests and transferred him to Zhangye. He didn't expect that this guy still held a grudge against him.
"We have to give this couple a hard time, but they are both wearing leather clothes, so it's difficult to deal with them."
"Captain, since this is my fault, I will handle it."
"You, are not allowed to go. I don't want you to be forced to be skinned."
"No, I'll go and beg my sister-in-law."
"Cheng Liguo's daughter, your brother's wife, can she do it? But her medical skills are good. Guoqing's wound healed so quickly."
"Captain, if you want to bring my brother and sister-in-law into our camp, you must keep this matter a secret."
Qin Daqiang nodded repeatedly. He had already told Guoqing that no military doctor should be allowed to see his wounds, otherwise their base would be surrounded by enemies.
"I'm going to find my brother and sister."
Li Bing rode his bicycle towards Cheng Liguo's cave. When he knocked on the door of the cave, he saw Jiang Meili inside and was stunned.
"What are you doing here?"
"Li Bing, I'm sorry, I didn't keep the secret. I came here to ask Cheng Qiao for help."
Cheng Qiao sighed, handed little Cheng Li to Li Bing, and then went to make him a pot of tea. Both children and tea polyphenols can make people relax.
"Brother, Sister Meili didn't do it on purpose. It's just that the leader is too mean. Most people would be fooled by such an unexpected move. You also have to bear most of the responsibility for this mistake."
Li Bing's anger was extinguished. Yes, Jiang Meili was pure and kind, how could she be a match for that woman? He knew Jiang Meili's character very well, but he still told her such an important thing. It was his fault.
"What do you want to do?"
Cheng Qiao knew that Li Bing didn't come here to play, he must have come with a mission.
"Sister-in-law, I want to ask you to help teach Liu Xiaojuan and her husband a lesson. Leave the man to me, but I can't do anything to a woman."
"What kind of lesson?"
"Let them know that they can go find supplies themselves if they need them, instead of using such underhanded tricks."
"I understand. You guys should trick the person out first."
"There is a market every Sunday morning. How about I ask the leader to come out?"
Jiang Meili stood up quickly. She had not yet fallen out with Liu Xiaojuan, so she tricked her out while she was not on guard.
"You have Sunday off."
"Well, unless there is a mission, our art troupe usually rests every Sunday."
You will take me to familiarize myself with the place later. Tomorrow morning around ten o'clock, you will ask your team leader to come out to visit the market together. You can follow my instructions and act accordingly.
Cheng Qiao decided to take action. They were in danger this time. If she didn't have the space and the little red head, not only would the supplies be stolen but people might also die. So there was no need to show mercy to this informer.
Early the next morning, Cheng Qiao fed little Cheng Li and put him into the space. She told Cheng Liguo that she was going to the market and left on Cheng Liguo's newly bought bicycle.
Cheng Liguo looked at Cheng Qiao's back with deep eyes. He already knew what happened yesterday. In fact, Cheng Liguo didn't want Cheng Qiao to get involved in this matter, but when he thought of Li Bing, he sighed.
It was the first time that Cheng Qiao visited the market here. The conditions here were indeed difficult. There was almost nothing to eat at the market. Instead, the most common people were people sharpening knives and scissors, and people cutting hair.
There was also a thin old man in the corner, holding a pen, sitting at a tattered table, helping illiterate people write letters, charging one cent for each letter.
More people went to the supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned restaurants, where they could find what they really needed. Cheng Qiao saw Jiang Meili appear at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative holding Liu Xiaojuan's hand. She glanced at him and walked in first.
Jiang Meili is simple, but she is not stupid. When she saw Cheng Qiao entering the supply and marketing cooperative, she quickly pulled Liu Xiaojuan in and said, "Hurry, let's go grab that piece of cloth, otherwise it will be a waste if someone buys it."
When Liu Xiaojuan heard that the cloth was about to be snatched away, she ran faster than Jiang Meili and passed directly by Cheng Qiao. Cheng Qiao's hand lightly touched Liu Xiaojuan's face, and then she took two steps back as if nothing had happened.
Liu Xiaojuan didn't care. There were so many people around and everyone stretched their hands forward. It didn't matter if it touched her face. Besides, she didn't feel anything, so she still pushed forward.
Jiang Meili winked at Cheng Qiao, and Cheng Qiao walked closer to Jiang Meili and told her in a very low voice not to get close to Liu Xiaojuan anymore.
