Chapter 38 Confidante



"Zheng Hongjuan, what are you doing?"

Tang Qiuyue was pulled and staggered. If she hadn't adjusted her center of gravity quickly, she would have been bitten by a dog.

She grabbed Zheng Hongjuan, who looked excited, and shook off her arm, then asked.

Compared to Tang Qiuyue who was able to remain calm after being suddenly attacked, Zheng Hongjuan was much more sharp.

"I took you to see it out of kindness, but you didn't appreciate it!"

The excitement on Zheng Hongjuan's face disappeared instantly because of Tang Qiyue's tactlessness.

Tang Qiyue rubbed her arm, surprised that this was the third time she saw Zheng Hongjuan today. She didn't understand why this little girl had to stare at her?

After thinking about it, there is only one reason.

"Do you like Zhan Zeye?"

Maybe he didn't expect Tang Qiyue to be so straightforward, or maybe he was surprised by Tang Qiyue's insight.

"You're talking nonsense. I didn't do that. I wanted you to go and see. Battalion Commander Zhan and Doctor Qin were originally a couple. If it weren't for you interfering, they would have been married!"

Zheng Hongjuan blushed and stamped her feet before expressing her intention.

Tang Qiyue didn't care about what Zheng Hongjuan said at all. She was concerned about Zheng Hongjuan's face.

Become famous!

That means there is really something going on.

Tang Qiuyue is not stupid. Not everyone is like Tang Chunlan, that stupid woman. Even if Zhan Zeye is really injured and cannot have children, as long as he is still in the army, with his abilities, these good days will come.

What's more, she is the daughter of a capitalist, and this identity makes the current era full of malice towards her. Even if Zhan Zeye has two confidantes now, she has to help cover up and would never think about being jealous.

"You're blushing!"

Tang Qiyue tapped Zheng Hongjuan's cheek. She was not affected by Zheng Hongjuan's words at all. Instead, she teased the girl.

Zheng Hongjuan covered her face, "Why aren't you worried at all? Aren't you afraid that Captain Zhan will divorce you if he gets together with Doctor Qin?"

Tang Qiyue didn't want to continue this topic, but seeing Zheng Hongjuan's positive attitude, she could only follow her words and said, "How can I not be worried? But love is a matter between two people!"

She pulled Zheng Hongjuan back to the washbasin and handed her a stone for her to sit on.

The little girl's thoughts were written all over her face, so it was really hard for Tang Qiyue to dislike her.

"What do you mean?"

Zheng Hongjuan was too curious. She had seen women pulling each other's hair for men, swearing in the streets, and even hurting each other. Why was Tang Qiyue so calm?

Tang Qiuyue pressed the clothes into the water, letting the clean water cover the clothes. It would be easy to wash after soaking for a while.

"What I mean is, if they both love each other and want to marry no one but you, then there's nothing I can do!"

Zheng Hongjuan widened her eyes and her face turned red. Instead, she stood up and walked around Tang Qiyue.

"Are you stupid?"

Although she was happy to see that Tang Qiyue was not taken seriously by Zhan Zeye, when Zheng Hongjuan heard Tang Qiyue say these words so calmly, she actually began to sympathize with her.

Tang Qiyue just smiled and didn't respond to Zheng Hongjuan's words at all.

"I'm not trying to scare you. Captain Zhan is really with Doctor Qin. They're talking and laughing, and they seem more enthusiastic than you!"

I don’t know what was going on in Zheng Hongjuan’s mind, but she actually said such words.

Tang Qiyue took out a bag of toffee cookies from her pocket and handed it to her.

"I was originally a substitute bride. Isn't it normal for him not to be enthusiastic about me? But you obviously like Zhan Zeye, so why do you want to match him with Dr. Qin?"

Zheng Hongjuan rolled her eyes at Tang Qiyue and snatched the candy cake from her hand without any hesitation. It looked like a good thing. She had seen it in overseas Chinese stores. They were all placed in those tin gift boxes, and a box cost more than ten yuan.

Her family was well off, but her parents believed in frugality and never allowed them to be extravagant. Therefore, even though Zheng Hongjuan was greedy, she had never eaten this kind of milk candy pastry.

It's right in front of me, and it's given to me by someone I hate. It would be a waste not to eat it.

After tearing open the package and putting the candy into her mouth, Zheng Hongjuan wanted to mock Tang Qiyue, but she felt a little insecure because of the sweetness in her mouth.

"Nonsense! I admire Captain Zhan. Do you understand what I mean by admiration? I can tell you don't know of Captain Zhan's heroic deeds!"

From Zheng Hongjuan's sparkling eyes, you can tell that she really admires Zhan Zeye.

"From the look on your face, I know you have no idea. Battalion Commander Zhan broke into the enemy camp three times by himself, and not only did he kill all the foreign devils, but he also relied on single-handedly to resist an entire battalion of enemies. And he still survived. If it were you, wouldn't you admire him?"

Zheng Hongjuan's excited hands were gesturing uncontrollably, which fully demonstrated that she was really excited.

Tang Qiuyue thought about it and felt that Zhan Zeye was indeed worthy of admiration.

In this era, young women have a blind worship of soldiers, not to mention a miraculous existence like Zhan Zeye, who is young and promising and has made countless contributions.

"worship!"

Tang Qiuyue affirmed Zheng Hongjuan.

Zheng Hongjuan was quite satisfied when she heard Tang Qiyue's cooperation. The sound of her tongue stirring the toffee pastry also made her feel a little sympathy for Tang Qiyue.

"But your admiration is useless. You are a replacement bride, and your Tang family is from a capitalist family. Even if you are good-looking, you are still a burden!"

What Zheng Hongjuan didn't expect was that after hearing her derogatory comment, Tang Qiyue said thank you.

"Are you not using your brain? I told you you're a burden!"

Zheng Hongjuan suspected she had misheard, but Tang Qiyue nodded: "I know I'm a burden, but you praised me for being pretty, and I'm thanking you for that!"

Zheng Hongjuan: ...

She felt that she had no way to communicate with Tang Qiyue.

The eldest daughter of the capitalist has a problem with her brain. She doesn't focus on the key points, but only pays attention to the things that are praised.

"It's over, you're really finished. I wanted to laugh at your joke, but now I realize you're not a joke at all, you're just an idiot!"

Zheng Hongjuan pulled Tang Qiyue up.

"Come on, follow me to find my sister!"

Tang Qiyue didn't understand why he had just wanted to drag her to be beaten, but now turned around and wanted to go find Political Commissar Wu's wife.

"What do I want to see you for?"

Tang Qiyue did not struggle to break free from Zheng Hongjuan. She could feel that Zheng Hongjuan had no ill intentions this time.

But as the two of them walked to the door, they ran into Zhan Zeye who was coming back with a washbasin. When Zhan Zeye saw Zheng Hongjuan pulling Tang Qiyue, his face darkened.

Zheng Hongjuan was a little frightened when she saw Zhan Zeye's dark face, but when she thought about how Zhan Zeye was just chatting and laughing with Doctor Qin, she pulled Tang Qiyue behind her and looked at Zhan Zeye with her head held high:

"Captain Zhan, I want to bring Comrade Tang home as a guest. Will you stop me?"

Zhan Zeye pushed Zheng Hongjuan away, dragged Tang Qiyue behind him, and reminded Zheng Hongjuan in a deep voice: "I think you have forgotten what your brother-in-law said!"
