Although he smiled, he did not hide his contempt.

… you think you’re special just so you understand? Give me a break.

She smiled and said, “If you give me a few pounds more, I can’t understand it; but I can tell if you’re going to give me a catty or two less.”

She reached out and pointed to the scale, “There are seven people in my family— two adults and five children. According to the age standards, the lever should be here.”

According to the production team, an adult would obtain 80 catties, ten-year-olds and older should get 50 catties. Five-year-olds and above would get 30 catties whereas any lesser would only get 20 catties of food.

“Your man hasn’t changed his career yet, so his accounting slip hasn’t come back! Yours can’t be divided!” A woman shouted in the crowd, “You’ve taken advantage of it for so many years, why do you still want to take advantage of it? Were all these years really not enough?!” She spat fiercely.

“Just because you’re the one saying that I shouldn’t get my division, do you think that you have the authority to do so?” Lin Lan retorted, “You and I both know the conditions and benefits of joining the military!”

How dare you try to slander me, do you think your word is the law? Did you not know that I’m the unreasonable shrew of the village? If you make me rage in fire, I will burn you!

In that year, the responsibilities that came with being a soldier were very heavy but the commune members did not like to join the army. In order to mobilise men to join the army and complete their administrative tasks, they asked families with three sons to send one of them off. It was also then that they promised to provide the maximum amount of work points until they were demobilised.

Since then, joining the army would give one better treatment and provide higher allowances. Besides, the men in the army were able to enjoy certain luxury foods from time to time as well. Becoming a soldier had never been this beneficial.

However, no one thought that despite being in the army for so many years, Han Qingsong had yet to be demobilised, which was why the Brigade would naturally not cancel off this benefit. In this way, some people were naturally jealous, especially when their own family’s children went to the army and were soon demobilised. Those who never received such treatment were definitely even more envious.

After all, most were conscripts for three years, but even if they tried to stay for two more years, they would be demobilised in the end, earning them only a mere couple of dollars.

In fact, they earned about the same as Han Qingsong in the first two years of being in the army, but the difference started to get bigger from the third year onwards. They didn’t think much about it before, but ever since they heard that there were several thousand Yuan earned, everyone started to flare their reddened eyes that were full of jealousy.

They were soldiers all the same, but why was his potential that promising?

Someone must have started to speak of sarcastic words laced with envy as rumours started to spread on the ‘unruly’ ways Han Qingsong used to climb up the military ranks. Someone even said that he showered his Commander with sweetened words to the point where the Commander wanted his own daughter to be Han Qingsong’s wife.

It was okay to say anything about it since it wasn’t true, but stating that Han Qingsong used flattery of all things was an entire joke that even he himself would laugh out loud if he heard it.

Lin Lan glanced at the woman. It was Liu Chunfang’s mother, Yu Wuzi. She had a big stubble on the bridge of her nose with three hairs sticking on it. Everyone called her Three-Hairs or Big Stubble behind her back.
