Chapter 104 Playing with Fire
"Go ahead, go ahead. I came early and have already bought meat, half a pound!"
You need meat coupons to buy meat. For an average family in the city, being able to buy half a pound of meat once a week is a very happy thing.
Why?
Apart from the monthly quota issued by the unit, it is not easy to get more meat coupons.
Jiang Li smiled and turned away from the sister-in-law who was talking to her, and walked to the back of the meat buying queue.
Fortunately, the salespersons at each window were fast enough. It took a total of forty minutes to buy all the vegetables, fresh pork, chicken legs and a frozen hairtail that were needed today.
If this were put in modern times, I don't know how many things I could buy in forty minutes when I went to the supermarket to buy. However, in this era, it is not a long time to go to the vegetable supply point to buy all the ingredients in Jiang Li's basket.
Ignoring the amazing eyes that fell on her, Jiang Li walked back to the compound with the basket.
Today, like yesterday, she had a simple, slightly loose braid, a white short-sleeved shirt and a black knee-length A-line skirt. The texture of the short-sleeved shirt and the skirt was fine and soft, and the hem was tucked into the skirt. Her waist was slender, and when she walked, she looked like a willow in the wind.
Well, Jiang Li's body was really delicate. Apart from other things, it was not difficult to see from her often pale face that she was born weak. In addition, she was thin. Although she was not skinny, she was really thin.
However, there was no ambiguity in the places where she should grow meat.
Knowing that her body was not good, even if she took the powerful pills and had infinite strength, her physique did not change at all, but Jiang Li did not want to make herself look too delicate, so she used the unique charm inside and outside her bones to cover up the feeling of fragility as much as possible, so as not to be called "sickly" behind her back.
Of course, the look she showed on a daily basis and from the front, she didn't look very delicate, but from the back she still looked very frail.
And without Jiang Li knowing, someone in the compound had already used "sickly girl" as a nickname for her.
"Why did Professor Luo choose a sickly woman as his wife?"
"It wasn't Professor Luo who chose that person, it was Song..." The person who was talking whispered in the ear of the woman next to him: "Director Song found someone for him, did you hear that clearly? I heard it from Comrade Wang from Deputy Director Wei's family, this is absolutely true."
"What does Director Song mean? Since he is representing the organization to find a partner for Professor Luo, why must he choose a sickly woman?"
"Who knows."
"I guess Director Song means well. Think about it, Professor Luo already has two sons and a daughter, and now the one who got married is a sickly woman, which means she will have a hard time getting pregnant. In this case, are you afraid that she will be bad for the three children?"
As soon as the woman who said this finished her words, the women standing beside her all coughed awkwardly twice, and then looked at Su Man intentionally or unintentionally.
Yes, they were looking at Su Man, and Su Man was standing with a few people. She came back from buying vegetables and met these women from the same compound. Because they all knew each other, they couldn't help but get together and chat after entering the compound. Unexpectedly, they happened to meet Jiang Li coming in from the gate of the compound with a basket of vegetables.
So, when Su Man "inadvertently" brought up the topic around Jiang Li, the women started to talk about Jiang Li.
But Su Man never expected that the fire would burn herself.
Especially one of the women had a very good relationship with her and knew that she was pregnant. At this time, what would that person think of her?
Would she tell the matter of her pregnancy, so that rumors of slander against her would appear in the compound?
