Xu Mingyang ran outside and saw who it was, but he didn't expect it to be Kuang Guangzhi's younger sister, Kuang Meizhu.

Xu Mingyang had only been to Kuang Guangzhi's house once with Mu Jingheng. Although Mu Jingheng had entrusted Kuang Guangzhi to him, he felt that Kuang Guangzhi was a capable man and there seemed to be nothing he could do to help him, so he never saw Kuang Guangzhi again.

He was quite surprised to see Kwong Mei-chu. Had something happened to Kwong Kwong-chi?

Xu Mingyang: "Comrade Kuang, what happened?"

When Kuang Meizhu saw Xu Mingyang rushing out, and seeing his strong physique and handsome face, her face began to blush slightly.

The way people's fate is really strange. Kuang Meizhu used to be very resistant to marriage, and she always felt that those men were quite repulsive to her. She even thought she was sick. But after meeting Xu Mingyang that day, it was as if that person had entered her heart. She would even dream about him often at night.

She had mustered up a lot of courage to come this time. She was already twenty-two years old. After her brother's marriage was arranged, her parents were now nagging about her marriage every day. She thought she would come and see how Xu Mingyang's life was. If he wasn't married, she would see if she had a chance. If he didn't like her, then she would have no choice but to obey her parents' arrangements.

Kwong Mei-chu: "No, nothing happened. I made some food and clothes and brought them to you."

Xu Mingyang paused for a moment, then looked at Kuang Meizhu with a strange expression.

In fact, after Xu Mingyang was promoted back in the army, the women in the compound introduced him to many potential partners, including some from the cultural troupe. However, Xu Mingyang just couldn't seem to get interested, and he was also busy with work, so he never considered the matter.

Looking at the shy and timid Kuang Meizhu, he felt for some reason that he should perhaps consider marriage.

If it weren't for Xu Yaoqiang's simple-mindedness, Grandma Xu and Grandpa Xu would probably have written to him again and sent him photos of female comrades long ago.

However, with Xu Yaoqiang, that simpleton, diverting his attention, he has been living quite freely these past few months.

He had only met Kwong Mei-chu once. Although he found her quite agreeable, he didn't know her well. After all, he had been burned once before, so he thought he would find out more about her when he had time.

Unlike Xu Yaoqiang, Xu Mingyang was quite shrewd. He stared at Kuang Meizhu carefully for a moment and then said, "Sister, you're very kind, but I have plenty of food and clothing here. You should take it back to Brother Guangzhi."

Kuang Meizhu felt as if she had been hit hard in the heart, and her disappointed face turned pale.

She had already used up 90% of her courage when she came, and then she used up another 10% by having Xu Mingyang called out. Now she really had no courage left.

She bit her lip tightly, staring at Xu Mingyang with wide eyes as if she had died with her eyes open, but she couldn't utter a single word.

In fact, Kuang Meizhu is not a timid or gentle person. She is usually quite capable in her work and speech in the village. But for some reason, she becomes unlike herself when she meets Xu Mingyang.

Seeing Kwong Mei-chu like this, Xu Mingyang suddenly wondered if he had done something wrong.

But it seems he only said one sentence after he came out, right?

Xu Mingyang repeatedly replayed his words in his mind, and no matter how he thought about it, it seemed to make no problem.

In his haste, Xu Mingyang said, "Are you tired? I'll take you to our cafeteria for lunch."

Kuang Meizhu's mood did not improve because of Xu Mingyang's words. She was now certain that Xu Mingyang looked down on her, otherwise he would not have refused her things.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Xu Mingyang said again, "The braised pork and braised fish in our cafeteria are so delicious, I'll buy them for you. Do you prefer rice or steamed buns? I'll buy those for you too."

Xu Mingyang had never coaxed a woman before, nor did he know how. Anyway, no matter how bad his third son Xu was in a bad mood, as long as he said he would buy him something delicious, he would be all smiles. He thought that women were probably the same.

The soldiers on guard couldn't help but laugh as they watched Xu Mingyang awkwardly trying to coax the woman. They thought the officer was too stupid; he couldn't even tell that the woman liked him and was treating her like a child.

Kuang Meizhu took a deep breath, thinking that since he didn't like her, she would eat her words to comfort her wounded heart.

The news that Xu Mingyang, this old bachelor, was eating with a female comrade in the canteen spread like wildfire throughout the entire army.

Kwong Mei-chu had a really good appetite. She ate a whole bowl of rice, braised pork, braised fish, stewed potatoes and cowpeas, cold seaweed salad, and stir-fried vegetables, leaving nothing behind.

Seeing how happily Kuang Meizhu was eating, Xu Mingyang felt inexplicably pleased.

Being able to eat is a blessing!

Kuang Meizhu had never eaten so much before. She felt that the food was already up to her throat and would overflow if she ate any more.

Throughout the entire meal, Kuang Meizhu kept her head down and ate, not daring to look at Xu Mingyang even once. She was afraid that if she looked at him, she would crumble again.

Kwong Mei-chu put down her chopsticks, feeling an urge to loosen her belt.

Xu Mingyang: "Are you full? Should I go get a few more steamed buns?"

Kuang Meizhu shook her head vigorously, as if she were rattling a drum. She felt that if she ate any more, she might not be able to go home.

Xu Mingyang was satisfied.

He picked up the things that Kwong Mei-chu had brought him and then sent Kwong Mei-chu out of the army.

He didn't return the things to Kwong Mei-chu when he got to the door.

Kuang Meizhu was stunned, then turned her head and thought, maybe he saw that she had eaten so much of his food and was giving her these things as compensation.

Kuang Meizhu returned home dejectedly, but Xu Mingyang kept it to himself. He felt that he was quite good at judging people; in just one meal, he felt that Kuang Meizhu was quite suitable for him.

When Xu Dongmei returned, the Xun family didn't give her any gifts, but the two elders of the second branch of the Xun family gave her two rabbits.

Xu Dongmei was very unhappy, but she didn't dare to show any anger. It wasn't until she left Mantoushan Village that Xu Dongmei could no longer hold back. When had she ever suffered such a great loss? This feeling of anger was stuck in her heart and made her feel terrible.

She wouldn't be Xu Dongmei if she didn't avenge this.

The two elders of the second wife were also feeling frustrated. They felt that their family had been plagued by bad luck ever since Xu Mingyang's incident, but they had no power and could not fight against the first wife. How could they not feel bad?

Despite this, the two elders of the second wife still did not intend to ruin the first wife's family. They knew that although they had severed ties with the first wife, the first wife had not ignored their affairs, and Xu Xialian and Xiang Wanqin were the best proof of this.

They were also thinking that maybe when Xu Yaoyang came back, if he was in a really bad situation, the eldest son's family could lend a hand, since they were not as capable as him.
