Transmigrated as the Evil Stepmother, I Bully the Whole Family, Yay! Chapter 164

When Nan Sheng returned to the Revolutionary Committee office, soone had already co to clean.

"Hello, Director Nan. I'm Su Jie. Please let know if you need anything!"

"Hello, Director Nan. I'm Tian An. Feel free to assign tasks as well!"

One was a girl who could handle cleaning, and the other a boy who could run errands. Nan Sheng was quite satisfied with Secretary Cai’s arrangents.

After the office was tidied up, Su Jie also filled a thermos with hot water before leaving, ensuring Nan Sheng could use it whenever needed.

anwhile, Lin Han wasn’t idle at the military base either. He had exchanged money for sewing machine and wristwatch ration coupons before starting his daily training. At noon, he still had to visit Division Commander Yao for guidance.

After several interactions, Division Commander Yao had grown to appreciate Lin Han’s work ethic. It was safe to say that Lin Han had firmly secured his position as deputy regintal commander, and promotion to regintal commander was only a matter of ti.

Even the soldiers and battalion commanders under him had changed their previous attitudes, now showing him genuine respect.

The only troublemakers were Luo Hao and Han Yongxiang. The two had gotten into another fight yesterday and were once again confined to detention. Lin Han decided he’d give them another beating once they were released.

"Foolish brats," he muttered. "How old are they, still brawling like kids? They’re making a joke out of ."

Nan Sheng left work a few minutes early that day to buy fabric at the town’s supply and marketing cooperative. She purchased three bolts of cloth, planning to send them back to her parents and younger brother so they could make new clothes.

She wouldn’t be able to attend the engagent ceremony, so she sent gifts as a token of her feelings. When it ca to spending money, Nan Sheng had no reservations—after all, she earned well and could spend it however she pleased!

Not in the mood for takeout, Nan Sheng bought so fresh at to cook at ho. Since spicy food was off the table, she cut the at into chunks and stewed it with dried shredded green beans, filling the house with a rich aroma.

Sizhe helped her as her assistant. "Mom, I’ve learned how to use the gas stove now. Should I start cooking when I get ho from now on?"

Nan Sheng refused. "No need. We don’t cook at ho much anyway—we usually buy als."

She didn’t want to co ho one day and find their house blown to bits.

"Son, are you feeling any pressure with middle school coming up?"

Sizhe shook his head. "The workload isn’t heavy yet. Half the day is still labor classes. Mom, the teacher said we can choose between boarding or commuting if we study in town."

"What do you think?"

Sizhe glanced at her. "I want to live at ho!"

He figured that since he planned to attend military academy in the future—which would take him far from ho—he wanted to spend as much ti with his family as possible now.

Nan Sheng nodded. Staying at ho would definitely be more comfortable, though the commute might be tiring.

"In a few days, when I have ti, I’ll take you to buy a bicycle."

Siqi sighed like a little adult. "Mom, what am I supposed to do when big brother goes to school in town?"

No ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‍one would carry her to and from school anymore!

Nan Sheng teased her. "Why don’t you work hard and start middle school with your brother?"

Siqi’s eyes widened in excitent. "I can count to two hundred now! The teacher even said I’m smart. Mom, can I really go with him?"

Before Nan Sheng could answer, a knock ca at the door. She didn’t respond imdiately, so Sizhe patted his silly little sister’s head.

"Mom’s just teasing you. You have to study properly before you can go to middle school."

Siqi pouted angrily, thinking her mom was so an.

When Nan Sheng opened the door, she found Zhu Jinghui's wife standing there with a strange expression. "Oh, sister-in-law! Co in and sit?"

"No need, sister-in-law. I just ca to tell you sothing." Zhu Jinghui's wife had debated whether to co but ultimately decided it was necessary.

"This morning, when I was going downstairs, I ran into Regintal Commander Shen’s wife. She was standing at your door knocking. I greeted her casually, and she asked to pass on a ssage—she wants you to visit her when you get back from work. Said she has sothing to discuss."

Nan Sheng was puzzled. "Who’s Regintal Commander Shen’s wife?"

Zhu Jinghui's wife explained, "Her na is Ding Xiang. She rarely cos over here, so I figured it must be sothing important."

"Alright, thanks for letting know. Won’t you co in for a bit?"

"No, no, I still have to cook!"

After closing the door, Nan Sheng mulled it over. If it were sothing related to the military, Lin Han would have inford her in advance. That ant it had to concern her directly.

The Revolutionary Committee? Sent-down households?

Or was Ding Xiang from the Ding family?

"What’s going on, Mom?"

Once Nan Sheng returned inside, Siqi grinned cheekily—Nan Sheng had warned her that if she kept pouting, she’d hang an oil pot from her lips.

"Nothing. Both of you go wash your hands. Dinner’s almost ready."

Ding Xiang had already prepared a al, but after waiting endlessly for Nan Sheng to show up, she began to wonder if the ssage hadn’t been relayed. "That Zhu Jinghui's wife is so unreliable," she grumbled.

When Regintal Commander Shen returned ho and saw the food on the table, he assud his wife had co around and forgotten yesterday’s argunt.

But the next day, when he ran into Deputy Regintal Commander Lin at the base entrance, the latter stopped him.

"Regintal Commander Shen, what did your wife need from mine? She’s been busy lately, so she asked to check."

Shen imdiately understood—Ding Xiang hadn’t listened to him and was still trying to help her uncle evade punishnt. He pulled Lin Han aside and explained the situation in a low voice.

"Tell your wife to handle it fairly. Don’t mind my wife—she’s just asking out of obligation to family."

Truthfully, Shen Yu didn’t care much for Lin Han’s family either, if only because of Nan Sheng’s background. If not for his wife’s interference, he wouldn’t have even spoken to Lin Han.

"Got it. I’ll pass that along to my wife."

After Lin Han left, Shen Yu clenched his teeth in frustration. He and his wife were definitely in for an argunt that night.

anwhile, Ding Xiang wandered back to the residential building, this ti knocking on Zhu Jinghui's door.

Zhu Jinghui's wife also had a job, though her shift started later. She had left early that day, so the two missed each other.

A neighbor across the hall heard the knocking and opened her door. "Sister-in-law, Zhu’s wife has already gone to work. If you need sothing, co back in the evening."

Ding Xiang considered asking the neighbor to relay another ssage to Nan Sheng, but then thought better of it. It’d be safer to go herself—the longer this dragged on, the worse it’d be for her uncle.

"Thanks," she said before leaving.
