The Pretty Military Wife

Zhou Guoliang didn't come back to sleep, and Liang Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief.

I just happen to be short of some elastic bands. I’ll buy some tomorrow and sew them.

Liang Xinyue hurriedly packed up her things, then lay down and slept until dawn.

Liang Xinyue felt that she had gotten up very early, because the sky was not very bright when she got up, and without a watch, it should have been between six and seven o'clock.

But when she opened the door, all the doors along the entire corridor were open, and the quilts in every room were folded into tofu blocks.

Perhaps he heard her open the door. Xiao Wei came out from the other side of the room:

"Sister-in-law, the commander and the others have gone out for morning exercises. I'll go get you some water to wash up, and then we'll go have breakfast."

"I'll just fetch some water myself."

She had never enjoyed the treatment of being cared for in her past life or this life, so she felt a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Wei smiled and said:

"Then sister-in-law, come with me."

After Liang Xinyue finished washing up, Xiao Wei took her to the state-owned restaurant for breakfast.

After dinner, Liang Xinyue said:

"Xiao Wei, go do whatever you want. I'll go to the department store to buy some things, and then I'll go back to the guesthouse by myself. You don't have to accompany me. I know the way, and I won't fall."

Xiao Wei said with a smile:

"It's okay. The commander said he was worried that you might not be familiar with the streets here. I usually just run errands with the commander. Today, the commander went to the Dayang County Armed Forces Department for something, so I couldn't join him. Anyway, it's okay, so I'll just follow you."

Liang Xinyue was not sensitive, but she could sense that Xiao Wei was following her by her side under orders. Forget it, there was no point in saying anything else, just do your own thing.

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"Okay then. I'll go to the department store first."

Unexpectedly, first she was a farmer's widow, and now she is an officer's wife. Liang Xinyue doesn't know how to adapt for a while. Forget it, don't think too much, just take it slowly.

When she arrived at the department store, Liang Xinyue directly found the elastic bands she wanted to buy. After buying some, she also bought a few buttons.

Just after paying the money, she turned around and was bumped by someone. Before Liang Xinyue felt anything, Xiao Wei at the side reached out and grabbed the man's hand:

"Hand it over!"

Liang Xinyue was stunned for a moment, and seemed to realize something. She reached out and touched the money she had just put in her pocket. It was the money and food coupons Zhou Guoliang had given her last night. She had just taken it out to buy some small things. Then she put it back in her trouser pocket.

Unexpectedly, after the collision, this person took the money from my trouser pocket.

The man who stole the money was a young man wearing a green military cap that looked a little faded from washing. His clothes looked clean and tidy, but one would not have expected him to be in this line of work.

“My money was touched!”

Liang Xinyue was anxious. She had learned in the past two days that the few dozen yuan she had on her was a lot of money in this era's economic situation.

It's all my fault for being careless.

The man's hand was held by Xiao Wei, but he stared at Xiao Wei fiercely and said:

"Don't think you can beat up the common people just because you're wearing green clothes. Someone, come here! The soldiers are beating people up!"

People who didn't know why gathered around.

Liang Xinyue naturally couldn't let Xiao Wei be slandered by others. She immediately explained the reason to everyone:

"This person bumped into me on purpose and took the money from my pocket."

The man shouted urgently:

"Oh, you not only want to beat me up, but you also want to slander me. Ladies and gentlemen, I am a worker at our county sugar factory. I have a decent job. Why would I steal your money?"

Among the crowd, several people who also worked at the sugar factory said they recognized this person. Although they didn't know his name, they knew he looked familiar and must be from the sugar factory.

In this era, people with jobs are considered to have a stable job, and they must cherish their jobs very much. So most of the people who gathered around were skeptical.

Someone said:

"Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods. Miss, you said your money was stolen. How much money was stolen?"

Liang Xinyue really doesn’t know this.

When Zhou Guoliang gave it to her last night, she couldn't have unfolded it and counted it in front of him. Besides, Zhou Guoliang folded it very neatly. She knew that it was a great unity outside.

Xiao Wei paid for breakfast again. She had only spent less than two dollars on shopping, so she only opened her wallet and took out a two-dollar bill to give as change. The thirty-five cents was still in her hand and she hadn't put it in yet.

Liang Xinyue blushed and she couldn't say how much money it was.

A middle-aged woman on the side said contemptuously:

"Tsk tsk, you can't even tell me how much money you have on you?"

Liang Xinyue was extremely depressed.

Another woman also spoke up:

"It's hard to check if you can't tell me how much money it is. Don't let them claim it's yours. It's all the same money, no one has marked it."

"That's right, the workers in our sugar factory are very well-educated. Don't slander others. It will have a bad impact."

"Oh, this guy is a soldier. I think you are overthinking it. How can you arrest the wrong soldier?"

"He just wore that outfit, who knows if he's really a soldier?"

Liang Xinyue said anxiously:

“He really is a soldier.”

Xiao Wei gently pulled Liang Xinyue and chuckled:

"Everyone, can anyone be kind enough to go report this to the nearby police station? Isn't there a police station next to this department store? Did I arrest the wrong person? Let the police handle this, okay? Can we handle this in front of everyone?"

"I go."

A young man behind ran over.

The man who was caught was obviously a little anxious:

"I didn't steal. I really work at the sugar factory. Please let me go. It's almost nine o'clock. Our shift changes at ten. I have to go to work."

Someone from the sugar factory on the other side also said:

"Oh, it's almost nine o'clock. I have to work the ten o'clock shift."

Xiao Wei smiled and said:

"Don't worry. Whether you stole the money or not, the police will solve it in two or three minutes."

Sure enough, two police officers in white clothes came right away. Liang Xinyue then realized that the police in this era were called public security officers, and their clothes were this kind of snow-white.

There came two young comrades:

"what happened?"

When the police arrived, the sugar factory worker immediately shouted:

"Comrade Public Security, I suspect this man is a fake soldier. I work at the sugar factory. This is my work ID. He kept grabbing my hand and saying I was a thief. I just accidentally bumped into that woman while walking. They are in the same group."

The police checked the documents and looked at Xiao Wei:

"Comrade, do you have any ID?"

Xiao Wei took out his military ID from his inner bag:

"This is my ID. I saw him stealing things with my own eyes. People around him said he was from the sugar factory, so it was impossible for him to steal money. This is the wife of our group leader. I came with her to buy some things, and her money was stolen by this person."

The police checked Xiao Wei's ID and immediately saluted Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei also returned the greeting and said:

"He stole the money. I have evidence."
