After the replacement of the military officer, the soft stepmother won

"It's strange. When the head of the art troupe took office before, there was never such a mandatory requirement. It was always the people in the art troupe who were responsible for the art performances. But now, after a new head was parachuted in, he started to make demands for this and that."

The sisters-in-law said as they washed the peaches and other fruits in their hands.

At this time, Shen Li walked towards this side.

"Sister Li, have you heard about the cultural performance?" Sister Narcissus said while working.

"No, I just heard everyone say a few words when I came here." Shen Li smiled.

"I'm wondering if the new head of the art troupe you mentioned is targeting you?" Sister Narcissus said as she worked, "Look, in the list of people requested this time, whether you draw a lot or not, your name is on it. Could it be that she's targeting you on purpose, but she's afraid it's too obvious, so she's doing this?"

"Really?" Shen Li looked at the order from the cannery. Her eyebrows were calm, and there was not much emotion on her soft and beautiful little face.

"Let me remind you, when your man participated in the military competition, the way Zhang Yuanyuan looked at your man was as if she wanted to eat him alive. Her eyes were so hot... I am embarrassed as a woman. I knew from that look that she was definitely thinking about your man. Your sister-in-law has to remind you to be careful of her. Otherwise, she will snatch your man away from you."

"If she wants to snatch it, then go ahead and snatch it. Whether she can snatch it away depends on her ability." Shen Li said with a faint smile.

She doesn't like female competition, and doesn't like competing with other women for men. If Zhang Yuanyuan wants to snatch Lu Jingchuan away, then let her do it. If Zhang Yuanyuan can really snatch Lu Jingchuan away, it means that Lu Jingchuan is not firm in his feelings for her and is not her right person.

But to put it another way, she has been in contact with Lu Jingchuan for such a long time, and she knows very well what kind of man Lu Jingchuan is.

She also believed in Lu Jingchuan's feelings and loyalty to her, and believed that Lu Jingchuan would not be easily taken away by another woman.

She was completely assured about this.

"You trust your man too much." Sister Narcissus was a little puzzled. After all, other women would definitely be on guard and keep a close eye on their husbands when they heard that their husbands were being targeted by other vixens. Sister Li's attitude was a little too calm.

"Sister Li, as someone who has been through this, I still have to remind you. Although you are so beautiful, have a great figure, and are so outstanding, when you stand next to that Zhang Yuanyuan, she can't even compare to your hair. But this Zhang Yuanyuan is not an ordinary person. She is the daughter of the mayor of Jing City. Her whole family dotes on her. The entire Zhang family is powerful. This Zhang Yuanyuan is not easy to deal with. You'd better be careful."

"Oh, thank you Sister Narcissus, I understand." Shen Li smiled.

Just at this time, someone from the organization came and said that all the wives of the soldiers at the regiment, battalion and company levels should be gathered together to organize a lottery for the art performance.

The sisters-in-law who met the requirements had to put down their work and walked outside reluctantly.

"I don't know what the head of the art troupe is thinking. He does whatever he wants. It's really annoying."

"That's right. I don't have any talent. I hope I won't be picked. I don't want to embarrass myself on stage."

"Me too. There are so many people watching from the bottom of the stage. I get so nervous just thinking about that scene. God help me, don't let me get picked."

The sisters-in-law grumbled softly.

Soon everyone gathered together and began to take turns drawing lots in a box.

What these sisters-in-law said was right. There were only two people at the group level on the entire island, so Shen Li would be selected whether she drew lots or not.

Shen Li was not surprised by this. He simply did not draw lots. He just watched from the side as the other sisters-in-law nervously reached their hands into the cardboard box to draw lots.

"Don't choose me, don't choose me." The sisters-in-law muttered to one of them. She was nervous, opened the small note, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no words inside, "Great, luckily it's not me. It has nothing to do with me."

Some were happy while others were sad. The sister-in-law who won the lottery immediately cried, "I am so unlucky. How come I was chosen when others failed? I really don't know anything. What should I do?"

Sister Narcissus also opened the note. When she saw the result inside, her face turned pale instantly. "I am so unlucky. I have never sung or danced in my life. I only know how to take care of my husband and children, clean the house, and do farm work. How can I perform a show?"

Sister Shuixian was extremely helpless. "Everyone, who can exchange a note with me? I am willing to give out 10 kilograms of kelp in exchange."

"We are all from the island, who needs these kelp strips? It's not just you who don't have any talent. Most of us don't have any talent, and we won't exchange with you." One of the sisters-in-law said with a bit of gloating.

Sister Narcissus looked like she was about to cry.

Soon everyone had finished their selection. Including Shen Li, a total of 6 sisters-in-law were selected to participate in the art performance. Among them were Sister Narcissus, Sister Zhang Ye, Sister Jinhua, Sister Yuegui, and a younger girl named Xuanxuan who was about the same age as Shen Li, thin, petite, and had pockmarks on her face.

Everyone had a sad look on their face.

Shen Li looked particularly calm among these sisters-in-law who all had sad faces.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be a way." Shen Li said, "Don't you all have any talents?"

"Yeah. I was born in the countryside. How could I know how to sing or dance?"

"Me too," the younger girl Xuanxuan lowered her head, "I get nervous when I'm in public. I'm definitely not good enough. What should I do?"

She looked like she was about to cry.

Those sisters-in-law who were chosen were not feeling well either, they were all very anxious.

"Since those people from the art troupe said they would teach you, then everyone should go and learn. There are still seven days left, and it will be possible if you study hard." Shen Li said.

"This is the only way." Sister Narcissus sighed.

Shen Li had to deal with the canning factory's work next, so she didn't go with everyone else. She continued to be busy in the factory, preparing to develop some canned fruits with other flavors.

At noon, several selected sisters-in-law came back with sad faces. Among them, Xuanxuan had red eyes, as if she had been crying.

"What's wrong? Are you having trouble studying?" Shen Li asked with concern.

“Those people in the art troupe didn’t teach us seriously at all. They complained that we were clumsy and slow to learn, and laughed at our stiff body postures. As for the few movements they taught, we didn’t know how to do them and couldn’t understand them no matter how hard we tried. They just watched us and laughed like they were clowns, especially Zhang Yuanyuan, who laughed the loudest.” Xuanxuan cried, wiping her tears.
