Chapter 66 Someone's Climbing Over the Wall at Night, Keep an Eye on Your Man (2/2)

After saying that, he yawned again, and seeing Yao Meina off, feeling extremely sleepy.
Did she sneak into the yard at night to steal a man?
Lin Han shook her head. This had nothing to do with her. Her man had been glued to her all night. How could he steal from her?
After taking a nap, Lin Han went out for a stroll. Not far away, she saw a woman with a large pregnant belly washing clothes in a public washroom.
The woman's belly was much larger than that of a typical full-term pregnant woman, as if she were carrying twins.
The woman, having finished washing the clothes, carried the heavy basin back home, and Lin Han stepped forward to help her take the basin from her.
"Sister-in-law, you're feeling heavy, let me carry it for you."
The woman glanced at Lin Han and quickly thanked him.
"Thank you so much, sister. I am indeed feeling a bit unwell, so I'm very grateful to you."
Lin Han followed the woman back with the basin in her hand, only to find that she had actually gone to Commander Wei's house.
"Sister-in-law, are you Commander Wei's wife?"
Wang Shufang nodded, then asked Lin Han, "Are you a new female soldier? You're really pretty and charming."
Lin Han shook her head. "I live next door to you. I'm Huo Qizheng's wife."
Wang Shufang was somewhat surprised. Wasn't it said that Commander Huo's wife was a capitalist's daughter?
She thought that Lin Han would look down on her for being from the countryside, just like Yao Meina did, but to her surprise, Lin Han not only didn't look down on her for being unsophisticated, but also took the initiative to help her carry the basin.
"Oh, so you're Commander Huo's daughter. Thank you so much."
Because of what Yao Meina said yesterday, Lin Han didn't intend to get to know Wang Shufen better; sending her back would be enough.
"Sister-in-law, you're welcome. I'll leave the basin here and head back now."
She had barely finished speaking when she heard a young woman's voice coming from inside the house.
"Sis, once the laundry is done, go cook dinner. I'm starving."
A woman with two braids and wearing a hand-sewn gray-blue "blouse" came out of the house.
Lin Han found her attire strange, somewhat... incongruous.
It seems like they're deliberately imitating, but they haven't quite grasped the essence.
The "Braggi" doesn't look like a "Braggi," and the work shirt doesn't look like a work shirt; it has a bit of a... rural-urban fringe feel to it.
Lin Han guessed that this young woman must be the younger sister that Yao Meina mentioned who came to take care of Wang Shufang during her postpartum period.
A heavily pregnant woman carried such a heavy basin out to wash clothes by herself, and then had to cook for her when she came back.
Are there younger sisters who take care of their older sisters during childbirth like this?
Lin Han had a bad first impression of her, but she didn't intend to meddle in other people's family affairs.
She has no desire to help others, respects the fate of others, and generally believes that a person's situation is something they tacitly accept.
"I'm going back now."
After finishing her sentence, Lin Han ignored Wang Shufang's offer to have lunch with her and quickly walked towards Sister Zhang's house.
After the door closed, Wang Xiuxiu peeked out.
"Sis, who was that person just now?"
"It's Commander Huo's wife from next door. She just brought the basin back for me."
Wang Xiuxiu glanced at the large iron basin piled with more than a dozen pieces of clothing on the ground and remained silent.
"Go eat quickly, I want to eat eggs, make me some scrambled eggs."
Wang Shufang hesitated for a moment, "The eggs at home are what I saved up for my postpartum period. How about I stir-fry some eggplant for you?"
"No, no, how can you be so stingy? You're a regimental commander's wife now, but you have no class at all. Look at Yao Meina, she's also a regimental commander's wife, why is she so carefree?"
