Chapter 53: Shock! Captain Lu abuses his new wife!

Standing at the gate of the military compound at this moment were not only Lu Zhanlin, but also Xu Feng, who had met Chu Yue once, and Song Hongmei, the women's director of the compound.

The three of them seemed to be gathered together to discuss something. While they were talking, there was a military vehicle parked next to them.

As soon as Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao appeared, the three stopped talking and looked shocked and bewildered.

Lu Zhanlin looked at Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao, who were covered in dirt and looked like clay figures not far away. The serious expression on his handsome face was broken, and a crack of surprise appeared on his face.

Xu Feng blinked hard and did not recognize the dirty woman in front of him at first. She turned out to be the pretty girl he had met at the train station.

He recognized it with the help of Lu Yuanbao who was standing beside him.

“You…you are…”

Is this Lu Zhanlin’s new wife?

She has been following Lu Zhanlin for less than a week, how did it become like this?

"Lu Tuan, the girl married you to be your wife, not to do hard labor for you. Why are you mistreating your new daughter-in-law?"

Xu Feng bumped Lu Zhanlin's arm and said with a teasing look on his face.

This was definitely a joke, but Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao looked really terrible at the moment.

It was as if he had been bullied by the landlord. He had worked in the fields all day, his body was dirty, and he was carrying so many things. He looked really pitiful.

Song Hongmei was stunned and said anxiously, "Sister Chu, you... did you fall on the mountain?"

As they were speaking, a figure flashed past the sight of Song Hongmei and Xu Feng.

"I'll do it."

Lu Zhanlin strode to Chu Yue's side, reached out without saying a word, took the bamboo backpack from Chu Yue's back, and put it on his shoulder.

His shoulders slumped and he raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

It’s so heavy.

Lu Zhanlin continued to take the things from Chu Yue, the two pheasants, and threw them to Xu Feng, who was watching the excitement in a daze, "Take it."

Next came Lu Yuanbao's belongings, all of which were thrown to Xu Feng, thinking it would be a waste for him to be a free laborer watching the show.

Xu Feng was soon covered with things.

Lu Yuanbao said softly, "Thank you, Dad."

On the side, Chu Yue was about to answer Song Hongmei's words, but just as she was about to speak, Lu Zhanlin spoke first.

"Don't move."

Lu Zhanlin raised his hand again, his deep gaze falling on Chu Yue's forehead. His jaw tightened slightly, he reached out and took a few dead leaves from Chu Yue's hair, and rubbed her forehead with his knuckles.

It was dirt, dry and sticky to her skin.

Chu Yue has a fair complexion, and it is particularly obvious when her face is dirty.

Lu Zhanlin wiped it several times, but it was not clean at all. He had been holding guns for many years and had rough calluses on his fingers. The rubbing made Chu Yue's forehead red.

The rough guy felt a little nervous.

Lu Zhanlin suppressed his heartbeat and frowned, "Did you really fall into the mountains? Are you hurt?"

He couldn't help but doubt it.

Chu Yue felt a tingling sensation on her forehead where Lu Zhanlin touched her. It wasn't hot, nor was it painful, it felt like an electric current running through it.

She slightly avoided Lu Zhanlin's palm and casually touched her forehead, as if to dispel the numbness on her skin.

"I didn't fall in the mountains, I just got it dirty accidentally, it's nothing serious." Chu Yue turned around and smiled at Song Hongmei, "Sister Song, I'm fine, I didn't fall, thank you for your concern."

Song Hongmei saw the interaction between Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue from the side. As a person who had experienced it, she saw it clearly and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"It's good that you didn't fall. You've been tired all day in the mountains. Go home quickly, change your clothes, and have a good meal tonight."

"good."

Chu Yue smiled and nodded. Now that she was free of the burden, she walked forward with ease.

Lu Zhanlin was wearing a military uniform, carrying a bamboo backpack and two pheasants, and following Chu Yue. If the soldiers in his regiment saw him like this, they would probably laugh for three days and three nights.

After all, Captain Lu’s jokes are rare.

Lu Zhanlin's calm and composed demeanor was broken. Xu Feng, who was holding a bunch of things just like Lu Zhanlin, unexpectedly fit in with the chaotic atmosphere.

Not only did he take Lu Yuanbao's things, he also picked Lu Yuanbao up and let him sit on his arms.

Xu Feng's rugged face was filled with smiles. "I'm your father's brother, my name is Xu Feng. You can call me Uncle Xu."

"Hello, Uncle Xu."

Lu Yuanbao grabbed Xu Feng's shoulders with his little hands and spoke seriously.

Xu Feng liked this child very much. "Not bad, he looks like a little man. Do you want to join the army like your uncle in the future? Wouldn't it be impressive to wear a military uniform?"

"prestige."

Lu Yuanbao couldn't help but touch Xu Feng's epaulettes, which had sparkling stars on them, shining particularly brightly.

In front, Lu Zhanlin was talking to Chu Yue.

The man asked, "Why did you suddenly want to go up the mountain?"

"There are mountain products in the mountains that we can eat at home and sell at the market to make money."

Upon hearing this answer, a hint of awkwardness and hardness flashed across Lu Zhanlin's eyes.

Lu Zhanlin: My wife really complains that I don’t have enough money.

At this time, Chu Yue quietly approached Lu Zhanlin. Seeing that there was no one around, she carefully took out the ginseng from her arms and showed a corner to Lu Zhanlin.

"Look—"

Lu Zhanlin was surprised, "Ginseng?"

"Yeah, it's ginseng. Yuanbao dug it up."

As she spoke, her eyes narrowed slightly and her eyes were full of excitement, but also full of pride.

Chu Yue's expression at this moment was exactly the same as when Lu Yuanbao dug up a bunch of yams and showed them off to Chu Yue.

Her eyes curved as she said happily, "Next time I go down the mountain to the market, I'll sell this ginseng. It's sure to be worth a lot of money. With this income, the three of us can have a good New Year. I can buy new clothes for you and Yuanbao. And..."

Chu Yue thought about what they needed to buy for their family of three, word by word.

Lu Zhanlin felt a stuffy and hot sensation in his chest, and his heart was pounding.

Even though there was still dirt on Chu Yue's face at this moment, she was still stunningly beautiful in his eyes.

On the way.

A sister-in-law met the four of them, and the wild pheasant in Lu Zhanlin's hand was quite eye-catching.

"Captain Lu, are you going home to cook? This is... a chicken?" My sister-in-law was surprised.

Lu Zhanlin nodded and unexpectedly said a few more words, "Yes, it's a wild pheasant. Chu Yue caught it from the mountain."

As he spoke, his slightly raised eyebrows showed a hint of pride.

Xu Feng, a rough man, could hear the hidden meaning behind the words. Lu Zhanlin almost said directly, "Look at how powerful my wife is."

My sister-in-law opened her mouth in disbelief.

Catching chickens... Catching chickens from the mountains... There are even wild pheasants on the mountains... They had never encountered such a good thing before, so how come Chu Yue encountered it as soon as she arrived?!

This new daughter-in-law is so lucky!
