It feels so nice to have someone hand you a pillow whenever you want to take a nap. I've been worried that the work might not be completed within a week's deadline, and then according to the processing agreement signed by Zhou Ruoyu and Li Ming, about 10% of the processing fee will be deducted.

As a result, thanks to the volunteers of Li Guihua and others, this batch of pants was completed one day ahead of schedule.

Zhou Shufen inspected each item meticulously, not missing a single detail. Zhou Ruoyu tried on one, and it was not only better than the ones in the supply and marketing cooperative, but even better-looking than the ones in the Luancheng Department Store.

Li Ming was visibly surprised when he saw Zhou Ruoyu delivering the goods. After inspecting the quality and fit of each pair of pants, he gave her a thumbs-up and said, "You're amazing! You actually managed to complete such a complicated pair of pants a day earlier."

Gao Feng said with a smile while spreading the word, "Brother Ming, these pants don't even need to be shipped to the capital. As long as they're shipped to Luancheng, they'll be sold out in less than a day."

Li Ming nodded and took money out of his pocket. According to the contract, the processing fee for this batch of services was a total of three hundred yuan.

After she paid, Li Ming stopped her and said, "I have a feeling this batch of pants won't be enough to sell. I'll order a batch now and have it delivered next week. Can you do that?"

Zhou Ruoyu smiled sweetly: "I still say the same thing, what I want to build is a brand, I must first establish the reputation of military wives, rather than winning by quantity. Every time I process a batch of products, I will give the military wives a few days off.

The sample I gave you is on the table. You can choose the style yourself. Just tell me when you have decided what to make for the next batch."

Li Ming stood there in a daze. Gao Feng, who was equally confused, murmured, "Is this woman smart or stupid? She refused the money right in front of her."

"She is not only smart, but also very far-sighted. I admit that I am not as good as her." Li Ming looked at Zhou Ruoyu's back, as if he was talking to Gao Feng, or as if he was talking to himself.

In Zhou Shufen's yard, it feels like New Year's Day at this moment.

Ding Peipei is a school teacher. She rushed over as soon as she got off work because today was the day to distribute money.

The four seamstresses plus Zhou Ruoyu and Zhou Shufen each received 40 yuan, and Li Guihua and the other two military wives who made trouser pockets each received 20 yuan. The division of labor was clear and the rewards were equal.

Li Guihua, who was making trouser pockets, and two other military wives hugged each other excitedly when they received the 20 yuan. "I didn't expect that in less than a week, we also got 20 yuan. If this work is regular, we can make 100 yuan every month, right?"

"Hey, twenty dollars is enough for my two little boys to go to school. I don't have to ask my husband for money anymore. If he hits me again, hits me again... I will divorce him!"

Li Guihua stretched her neck and stared with her eyes, looking like a poor person who had suddenly become rich, which made the other two people laugh.

Zhou Ruoyu looked at everyone in the yard with a smile on their face. What she wanted to do and what she wanted to do were being realized step by step. However, the more prosperous they became, the more people would get angry, such as Su Hongmei.

Su Hongmei's life is not peaceful because she is involved in Lin Siyu's case.

As a doctor at the military hospital, Lin Siyu and Su Hongmei were colleagues and junior high school classmates, making them closer than others. He also had great assistance with filming important military footage. Whenever Su Hongmei mentioned the name of the military commander, she would naturally make things easier for him, as it was all for publicity.

But what Su Hongmei could never have imagined was that these extremely clear photos taken by Lin Siyu were to be sent to hostile forces overseas. It was too horrible and unbelievable.

What is even more incredible is that she was also summoned by the police.

Faced with a series of facts, she could not and dared not cover up and had to tell the truth.

It was precisely because she spoke the truth that she broke the law and became Lin Siyu's accomplice. She was detained for half a month. In the end, it was only because her second aunt came forward to vouch for her that she was released from the detention center.

Her uncle's name was used to give Lin Siyu many conveniences, and it was hard for her uncle not to be furious.

Fortunately, it was finally found out that Lin Siyu colluded with overseas forces after joining the hospital, clearing him of suspicion from the military district's top brass.

In the end, only Su Hongmei accidentally became Lin Siyu's accomplice.

She couldn't go back to the military hospital. Her second aunt, who treated her like her own daughter, didn't want to give up on her, but her uncle was still the one who made the decision in that family. So her second aunt could only send her to live in the single dormitory of a middle school teacher with tears in her eyes.

From a sought-after rich lady to a shameful accomplice of spies, her life was not easy. Although she lived in a single dormitory, it was one of a whole row of bungalows, and the looks from passers-by were unbearable to her.

It's only been a few years since liberation. If you go against the country and the people, there's almost no chance of recovery. Even a drop of spit can drown someone. Once Lin Siyu's identity was revealed, Su Hongmei was naturally spurned by everyone.

For a long time, she was like a rat crossing the street. Her second aunt repeatedly told her not to leave the dormitory. Those radical young people were really capable of doing anything.

After the incident calmed down, Su Hongmei lost more than ten pounds. Her once lively and beautiful face almost turned into an eggplant in early winter, without a trace of youthful vigor.

Second Aunt Su came over and said, "Fortunately, you weren't implicated in Lin Siyu's testimony, and you were simply being used by him. You won't have any more trouble here. I've found you a salesperson position at the military supply and marketing cooperative. You'll start next week."

"I won't go!" Su Hongmei bit her lips angrily, and a little blood flowed out from where she bit.

Aunt Su knew that she was unwilling to work as a salesperson, so she advised with tears in her eyes: "Hongmei, you are only in your twenties. You still have to make a living and find a partner to get married. What will you do without a proper job?"

"Work isn't as easy as it used to be. I harassed your uncle for days to get him a salesperson's quota. Now you say you don't want to go, so you don't have to. Are you deliberately being mad at someone?"

"Aunt, I think all this is because of that vixen Zhou Ruoyu." Su Hongmei bit her lips even tighter.

"Don't mention the matter between you and Lu Qinchuan anymore. You are not destined to be together in this life. You can't force it."

Worry appeared in Second Aunt Su's eyes. This niece had grown up by her side since she was a child, and she knew her personality very well. Now that she had fallen into such a state, it was understandable that she would feel resentful, but her obsession with Zhou Ruoyu made people worry.

"Lu Qinchuan wouldn't have been able to get promoted so quickly. It was only because he uncovered Lin Siyu's identity as a spy and made great contributions that he was promoted early."

Second Aunt Su looked at her seriously and warned her firmly, "Let me tell you this: if you provoke him again, I won't tolerate it, not to mention others!"
