Chapter 48: Angry at Zheng Jinxin

Lu Xiao refused to give in, and Su Tang looked around in embarrassment, fearing that she would wake up Zhang Cui.

But Zhang Cui also did not sleep all night, and was now hugging Mai Sui with her eyes open.

She didn't want to disturb the couple's private conversation.

She had already occupied the couple's new home, so it would be very ignorant of her to leave now.

"How should I know what you mean?"

Su Tang glanced at him, reached out and pushed him: "Hey, hurry up, I have to go to work at the hospital later."

I took half a day off yesterday, and I don’t know how much work has accumulated.

She is currently in the internship period, and if she doesn't perform well she won't be able to become a permanent employee.

"Su Tang, don't run away. You know what I mean."

The man took a deep breath, tightened his arms around her.

"I won't force you. I'll give you time, but I hope you won't make me wait too long."

Lu Xiao doesn't have much patience, let alone something as frustrating as this, which makes him even less patient.

Su Tang's heart was beating like a drum, so loud that she was afraid Lu Xiao would hear it.

She bit her lip, not daring to look at Lu Xiao's fixed gaze, and muttered softly: "I know, I know, if you don't leave now, I'm really going to be late!"

Only then did Lu Xiao let go of her hand, with a helpless smile on his lips. Before leaving, he reached out and pinched her face.

He had wanted to do this for a long time. He always felt that Su Tang's face was like a peeled egg, very tender and smooth.

Su Tang closed the door and leaned against it to relax for a while before he remembered the lunch box in his hand.

When I opened the lid, there was hot rice porridge, pickles, and the sugar cake wrapped in oil paper.

She picked up the cake and took a bite. The sweet taste spread in her mouth, and her whole heart was filled with sweetness.

Su Tang was wolfing down his breakfast, while Zhang Cuike, who was lying on the bed, heard the entire conversation clearly.

After Su Tang had packed up and was ready to go out, Zhang Cui sat up and pretended to have just woken up.

"Sister, are you and Brother Lu still sleeping in separate beds?"

The two of them don't look like a couple, but more like they are in love.

Hearing Zhang Cui ask this, Su Tang was stunned, but still nodded.

"Brother Lu is a rare good man, you must seize the opportunity."

Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.

Even though Zhang Cui didn't want to compete, sometimes she wondered how she had tolerated Wang Jianfeng for so many years.

"I understand, sister-in-law. I will."

Su Tang understood the hidden meaning of Zhang Cui's words and nodded slightly.

"By the way, sister-in-law, Lu Xiao got breakfast from the cafeteria. I've already eaten. He also got a sugar cake. You and Mai Sui can share it."

After saying that, Su Tang went to work.

Zhang Cui felt a warm feeling in her heart and said nothing more.

When you are rich, many people will cling to you, but when you are down, few people will help you.

Zhang Cui will remember the kindness of Su Tang and his wife for the rest of her life.

After Lu Xiao came out of the staff quarters, he went to do morning exercises.

Chang Jia looked at the smile on Lu Xiao's face and clicked his tongue several times.

"If you are sick, get treatment."

Lu Xiao felt like he was a buzzing fly, so he kicked him.

"Are you still Lu Xiao? Are you still the Lu Xiao I know?"

"My old comrade, I almost didn't recognize you."

Chang Jia walked around Lu Xiao several times, then put his hand on Lu Xiao's shoulder.

"You say, it's good to have a wife, right?"

Lu Xiao slapped Chang Jia's hand away and said, "Why are you being so sarcastic?"

"I'm not being sarcastic. Who was the first to look down on her when they first met her?"

Chang Jia was not just saying this casually.

At that time, Su Tang was being troubled by Hu Lili at the gate of the family compound, and he even asked Lu Xiao if he wanted to go up and help.

Lu Xiao said it was not necessary.

Now it’s good. Everyone in the camp knows that Lu Xiao is very protective of his people.

"Honestly, why don't you bring your sister-in-law over as well? It's not good for us to stay in our hometown all the time and be apart for too long."

Lu Xiao ignored Chang Jia's words and gave him some sincere advice.

Chang Jia's wife is a country woman, but she used to be the eldest daughter of a landlord.

Later, he fell into poverty and was married to Chang Jia.

According to Chang Jia, she is well-educated, gentle, and speaks softly. The only bad thing about her is... she has bound feet.

This was what Chang Jia was most reluctant to mention, and therefore, Chang Jia did not allow her to join the army.

People also knew that Chang Jia didn't like her small feet, so they never said much.

"You know, no one laughs at her at home, but if she comes here, I'm afraid those rumors will kill her."

"She's a good person in every way, but after all, she was once a young lady and studied the Four Books and Five Classics. She has to maintain her dignity."

It’s not that Chang Jia despises his wife, but Chang Jia is afraid that she will be laughed at when she comes here and will feel bad.

As her husband, you should always think more about her.

"That's true, but it's not a big deal if you're together less and apart more often."

How can a couple not see each other a few times in a year or two? Besides, they are young and what if something happens?

Chang Jia smiled bitterly: "Let me think about it."

After the two finished talking, morning exercises ended.

There are a lot of things to do in the camp today, and they have to be busy too.

As soon as Su Tang arrived at the hospital, he was blocked at the door by Zheng Jinxin.

"Su Tang!" Zheng Jinxin's voice was not loud, but he could smell the gunpowder from a distance. "What do you mean? Explain it to me clearly!"

What happened in the camp cafeteria yesterday has spread everywhere, and now everyone knows that she is being pursued by Wang Jianfeng, a married man.

Even the hospital leaders talked to her.

Su Tang didn't want to talk to Zheng Jinxin, so he walked past her and went in.

But Zheng Jinxin blocked the entrance of the hospital and refused to move, as if she would not move unless Su Tang explained clearly.

"Nurse Zheng, please make way. I need to change my clothes and prepare to hand over my shift."

Su Tang said in a calm tone.

Zheng Jinxin moved sideways and stood in front of Su Tang, his chest heaving, obviously very angry.

"Stop playing dumb here! Why did you say that in the cafeteria yesterday? You were helping Zhang Cui, so why did you implicate me?"

"Now it's all over the camp, saying that I, Zheng Jinxin, am shameless and had an affair with a married man, Wang Jianfeng! Even the hospital leaders have come to talk to me! Su Tang, are you satisfied?"

When Su Tang heard this, he almost laughed out of anger.

What a great ability to confuse right and wrong!

She took a deep breath and suppressed her rising anger: "Zheng Jinxin, don't you have it?"

"Lu Xiao is already married, why don't you avoid suspicion? As for Wang Jianfeng, aren't you enjoying his attentions with a clear conscience?"

Su Tang curled up the corner of his lips in a sneer and looked at Zheng Jinxin.

"Are all the others fools? Can't they see that you want it all?"

Zheng Jinxin's face flushed red, as if Su Tang had exposed her secrets.

"Su Tang! You!"

"Me what? Did I hit the nail on the head? I'm so sorry. I apologize. I'm so sorry. How could I say that to you?"
