As he expected, the next day the news that Lin Siyu was an enemy spy lurking among the people spread like wildfire throughout the military compound.

"He's tall and thin, wears glasses, and looks very gentle. He doesn't look like a secret agent at all."

"Did he come to our compound before? He seemed to be looking for Captain Lu, and Captain Lu chased him away. Captain Lu must have a sharp eye, he must have noticed his dishonest and sneaky behavior a long time ago, so he didn't treat him well!"

……

The idle military wives had a new topic to talk about, and in the end, they turned the gentle Lin Siyu into a street thug with a green face, fangs, and a wretched figure.

Zhou Ruoyu, who was carrying the cloth back on a bicycle, heard it carefully and had a true understanding of the saying "Even metal and stone can be melted by public criticism". It was such a vivid description.

In short, if she had not experienced it with her own eyes, and only saw Lin Siyu's image as a highly intellectual, she would not have believed that he had anything to do with spies.

It has to be said that Lin Siyu is a high-level spy. He actually played tricks under the lamp and lurked in the military area to carry out his ulterior motives.

Moreover, he was favored by senior military officials, so many people were involved in the case. Although various versions of the story were flying around in the compound, Lu Qinchuan did not mention the matter when he returned home. This was a soldier's duty. Zhou Ruoyu did not ask either, and lived her life peacefully.

Her business is taking off. The previous dresses helped Li Ming to open up sales, and now the orders for straight pants have made Zhou Shufen and the military wives even more motivated.

Zhou Shufen carefully compared the cut trousers with the ones drawn by Zhou Ruoyu, and only distributed them to the other military wives after confirming that they were correct.

"This fabric is quite delicate, it's made of thin wool. Please be very careful when making it. If you damage it, you will have to pay for it."

Zhou Shufen had a dark face, her hands on her waist, and spoke to several military wives in a serious tone.

These words should be said first, otherwise it will be difficult to explain if there is any mistake later. She learned these from Zhou Ruoyu and Li Ming's discussion. It not only protects herself but also prevents others from getting hurt.

Ding Peipei was the first to promise, "Don't worry, Sister Zhou. We are all your disciples. First of all, we won't discredit your craftsmanship. In addition, if the finished product I made doesn't pass, then I will compensate you in full."

When the second sister-in-law saw that the young wife of the old Gao family had an extraordinary demeanor, she naturally didn't want to be outdone by her, and eagerly expressed her position: "Me too, me too, if it's broken, it's mine!"

Others also rushed to express their opinions. Zhou Shufen was very satisfied: "Then go back and make it according to the pattern I cut. If you have any questions, come to me at any time. These pants are relatively complicated, so let's set the deadline as one week."

As she said this, she looked at Zhou Ruoyu who was drawing a pattern at another table. Zhou Ruoyu looked up at her and smiled, "Sister Zhou is the most professional. Just leave it to you to take control."

Zhou Shufen, overflowing with confidence, felt like she had nowhere to release her energy. She walked over to Zhou Ruoyu and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, I'm already three months pregnant. Nurse Xiaolin said the baby should be stable. Look, I can make pants too. I can earn some extra money."

The last sentence was what she really meant. Captain Zhu's allowance was not high, and now there was another mouth to feed. In the long run, her family had too many places to spend money.

Zhou Ruoyu put down the pen in her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Sister Zhou, your skills are valuable. I don't need them at all."

She cupped her hands and whispered in Zhou Shufen's ear, "And in the future, you will definitely earn much more than making pants. If we want the big sisters to live a good life, we really have to rely on you, Zhou Shufen."

"Really?"

Zhou Shufen's eyes were shining. She believed that Zhou Ruoyu would not lie to her, and she was really looking forward to the near future.

As soon as they started working, there were fewer women gossiping and chatting in the compound, and Li Guihua and the others felt very uncomfortable.

"I made a lot of money last time I made a dress. I think I made about twenty dollars."

"Sister Guihua, we all have sewing machines at home. Why don't you talk to Sister Shufen and ask them to let us earn some money to spend."

Li Guihua glanced at the military wife who was speaking. "First of all, that bitch Zhou Shufen and I don't get along. It's good enough that she didn't step on me. How can she let us make money? Besides, it seems that the one who has the final say is not Zhou Shufen, but Zhou Ruoyu."

The military wife didn't give up and continued to pursue the matter, saying, "She will soon be the wife of the regiment commander. How can she still care about this matter? Even if she does, she is just a yellow-haired girl. Can't Sister Guihua control her?"

Li Guihua suddenly felt that the melon seeds in her hand no longer had any flavor, and without hesitation, she put the remaining half handful of seeds back into her pocket. She stood up, patted her butt, and left, leaving behind a harsh remark: "I, Li Guihua, would not beg for help from a young girl like her. If you have a way, go find her yourself. I won't interfere!"

But on the way home, her heart began to boil. Her husband was only the company commander of the communications company, and his allowance was no more than that of Company Commander Zhu. She also had several mouths to feed at home, all of them young boys.

Her eldest son was envious of Lin Dadong for having oil-splashed noodles yesterday. Now all the children in the compound envied Lin Dadong. Lin Dadong's mother followed Zhou Ruoyu and was obviously doing well. Not only did she make money, but she also had delicious food.

Oh, how do I open my mouth?

With such a cowardly thought, she returned home. She turned on her own sewing machine and thought about comparing it with others, but it seemed that her sewing machine was only there to collect dust and had never been used.

She doesn't know how to use it. When the children's clothes are torn, she would rather sew them by hand than use a sewing machine. She really needs a master to teach her how to use a sewing machine.

Gritting her teeth, she took out the canned fruit that had been hidden securely in the cabinet, wrapped it in a cloth bag, tucked it under her arm, and walked towards Zhou Shufen's house.

When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Li Guihua tried hard to adjust her smile. She had to produce an absolutely sincere smile to impress Zhou Shufen.

"Sister-in-law Shufen, is Sister-in-law Shufen at home?" Li Guihua pushed open the gate and walked in with a wry smile on her face.

Zhou Shufen and Zhou Ruoyu were discussing the difficulty of several tops. Through the window, they saw Li Guihua walking in with something in her arms and a smile on her face.

"The yellow-skinned girl is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken. She probably has no good intentions and is holding back anything good. Wait until I kick her out!"

Zhou Shufen is a vengeful person. She can never forget that it was Li Guihua who brought the troublemaker Tan Ying to her home, causing their family to suffer an extra hardship and almost causing the couple to turn against each other.

"Sister Zhou, aren't you worried about the lack of manpower on the assembly line? Someone is here to visit!" Zhou Ruoyu curled the corners of her lips.
