Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 282: It Turns Out Commander Qin’s Wife Has a Good Temper

"Oh, seeing how well you two get along makes us so envious," Auntie Wang sighed, unable to hide her admiration.

Su Yijia also felt that Qin Kaize was being overly affectionate, so she just lowered her head, feeling embarrassed. After all, anything she said at this moment would only be perceived as showing off.

Seeing her like this, the Aunties didn’t tease her further.

At the supply and marketing cooperative, some bought eggs, others got noodles, and some purchased a little pork. Although they lived in apartments, the team had allocated a large piece of land for growing vegetables. Each family got a third of the land to grow a few types of vegetables, which they would trade with each other.

Therefore, they rarely needed to buy vegetables, only needing to supplement with seasonings or staples like rice and flour. Xia Weiguo had a yard, but the vegetables he had just planted weren’t ready to harvest yet. So, Su Yijia bought some vegetables and a lot of meat--besides the seafood for pickling, there were tofu, dried tofu, bean sprouts, pork kidneys, and freshly slaughtered duck. She even bought a jar of duck blood.

The Aunties watched enviously but didn’t dare to say anything. After all, Su Yijia was well-known for her tough temper, and Qin Kaize and Xia Weiguo were protecting her. Besides, she was spending her husband money, so they couldn’t really comment.

With a leader, an injured person, and two elderly figures all involved, Su Yijia didn’t concern herself with their thoughts and went on to buy two bottles of Erguotou. They had used Maotai for the wedding feast, which was costly and wasted after the celebration, making her feel quite regretful. This time, she deliberately chose the much cheaper Erguotou.

Once everything was bought, the Aunties saw Su Yijia’s hands full of items and wanted to help.

"Miss Su, you’ve bought so much; let us carry some for you."

"Yes, let us take half of it so you won’t be too tired. Or else Commander Qin will be worried."

The Aunties cheerfully took the bag of seafood from Su Yijia’s hands. The nearly 70-80 pounds of weight caused the first Auntie to stumble and drop it on the ground.

"Oh dear, look at you. Your strength is less than Miss Su’s," Auntie Ju laughed, bumping the Auntie with her shoulder and reaching to pick it up herself.

However, she couldn’t lift it easily either.

"I just saw Miss Su carrying it so effortlessly. How is it so heavy?" Auntie Ju looked at Su Yijia with confusion.

"I’m strong; this weight is nothing," Su Yijia smiled and reached to take the bag back.

The other Aunties, still thinking it was a joke, also tried to lift it but soon realized the effort required and put it down quickly.

Su Yijia couldn’t help but smile at their astonished faces. "Didn’t you see me buying these things?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The bag contained 20 pounds each of oysters, mantis shrimp, blue crabs, and shrimp, plus 10 pounds of conch. It was certainly heavy.

"Who would have thought that Miss Su, with her delicate arms and legs, would have such strength," the Aunties said, admiringly surveying Su Yijia. They had assumed Commander Qin’s wife might have a bad temper, but now they saw she was actually quite patient.

If she really had a bad temper, she wouldn’t have let those people talk so long without retorting or forcing an apology. She would have simply slapped them and made them silent.

Seeing her strength, they thought she probably didn’t even need to use much force when dealing with someone like Wang Futong. A single slap from her might have been enough to knock him out.

The Aunties were secretly relieved. They were glad they had heeded their husbands’ advice and avoided nagging Commander Qin’s wife.

Often, their nagging wasn’t malicious but had caused quite a few disturbances in the past. They would argue and scold but quickly reconcile.

They silently watched as Su Yijia, without breaking a sweat, carried dozens of pounds of items in each hand and walked for over ten minutes back to the yard.

"Aunties, I’m heading back now," Su Yijia said with a smile, bidding them farewell.

Auntie Wang quickly said, "Aren’t you coming to my place to make the dress? I’ve already cleaned the sewing machine for you."

"I still have a lot of ingredients to deal with. I’ll come over after lunch," Su Yijia said, lifting the groceries and giving a little shake.

The Aunties looked at her with amazement and gasped at how easy she made it look.

"After lunch, I’ll take a nap. We can go over at three o’clock and work for three hours. It will be just in time for dinner," Qin Kaize said, emerging from the house.

He took the items from Su Yijia’s hands effortlessly, as if carrying two large bundles of cotton.

Auntie Ju, unable to hold back her curiosity, asked, "Commander Qin, don’t you think this stuff is a bit heavy?"

"I’m strong, so it doesn’t feel heavy," Qin Kaize replied calmly.

The Aunties laughed awkwardly and quickly told Su Yijia, "Comrade Su, we’ll wait for you at Auntie Wang’s place at three this afternoon. Her house is in Building 3 of the family compound, Unit 4 on the fourth floor, the unit on the right when you come up."

"Got it! I’ll be there on time," Su Yijia said.

As she watched the Aunties leave, Su Yijia turned to Qin Kaize with anticipation. "Did you read the book? How do you find it? If you have any questions, you can ask me."

"I’m still on the first-year textbook, and it’s quite easy. I find myself remembering everything after just one read-through," Qin Kaize said, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

He had always performed well in school, but he had never experienced such effortless memorization.

Hearing this, Su Yijia, instead of being pleased, patted him on the shoulder with a worried expression. "After all, no one’s brain is as damaged by toxins as yours was."

Qin Kaize’s brow furrowed slightly, as if recalling something.

"What’s wrong?" Su Yijia asked, noticing his sudden seriousness.

"Jiajia, wait for me at home. I need to find Uncle Xia. Don’t touch the vegetables; I’ll prepare them for you when I return," Qin Kaize said, placing the items in the kitchen and heading outside.

But he stopped and came back into the yard. "You need to discuss the Functional Restoration Elixir’s effects with Uncle Xia in detail. He’ll need to get to work right away once we explain."

Qin Kaize spoke urgently, his tone filled with concern.
