Boss Zhu looked surprised. He had heard Beisisi mention that she used to have a malicious sister. After their father's death, while their mother was busy earning a living, this sister neither cared for her, nor did she spare her from beatings and scoldings. She would even use her older age as an excuse to snatch her food.
When Beisisi originally made up these stories, it was to garner sympathy. She never expected to come across Beisitian one day. Hadn't she found a soldier to be her poor military wife?
As for calling her a poor military wife, just think, a mere deputy company commander, how much allowance could he earn in a month? When he retires one day, what could he do in society? He doesn't have any particular skills, so their future will surely be bleak.
So, when Beisitian showed up here, Beisisi's first thought was that she must have found a wealthy connection, just like her.
