Chapter 198 She is my wife first, then your sister-in-law
Qiao Sujin's face suddenly turned green.
She really didn't expect that Jiang Yubai would actually cook at home and even be so nice to this woman?
She stared at Ruan Yuntang, trying to find a trace of forced emotion on her face, but found nothing.
Ruan Yuntang had a smile on his face, but he asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Doctor Qiao? What are you looking at me for?"
Qiao Sujin withdrew her gaze with a stiff expression and gritted her teeth, saying:
"Nothing, I just think Comrade Ruan is too lazy at home. Captain Jiang works so hard out there, and you're still waiting for him to come back and cook for you?"
Her tone unconsciously carried a scolding tone.
However, before Ruan Yuntang could respond, Jiang Li came out of the house with a gloomy face.
"Why? Old Zheng usually cooks for us. Am I lazy too?"
Qiao Sujin's face turned pale and she waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, no, Aunt Jiang, that's not what I meant!"
Jiang Li was too lazy to listen to her explanation, she pushed her hand away coldly and said softly to Ruan Yuntang:
"Don't listen to what outsiders say. They're just secretly jealous of you, so they say that on purpose!"
These words were said in front of Qiao Sujin, and her expression completely fell apart.
Ruan Yuntang said "OK" to Jiang Litian sweetly, then turned and left.
After leaving the team, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Especially when passing by supply trucks.
Zhao Qiang saw his sister-in-law from a distance and waved happily.
"sister in law!"
Ruan Yuntang turned around and saw another tall figure standing behind him. He immediately turned his head back and strode away coldly.
Zhao Qiang put down his hand in confusion and scratched his forehead. "Strange, why is my sister-in-law ignoring me today?"
As he said that, he turned to look at his own leader, "Leader, have you made my sister-in-law unhappy and implicated me?"
???
Jiang Yubai was so angry that he laughed at his weird remarks.
"She is my wife first, and then your sister-in-law." He had a blank expression and spoke with gritted teeth.
After saying that, he looked up at the cold figure in front of him and followed him with big strides.
"Tangtang, what's wrong?"
Ruan Yuntang listened to the gentle voice behind him, pretending not to hear it, and walked faster.
Jiang Yubai frowned and grabbed the girl's arm.
"What happened?"
Ruan Yuntang struggled twice but couldn't get free, so he simply stopped struggling and looked up at the man's dark and deep eyes. He said in a calm voice:
"nothing."
"It's nothing that you ignore me." Jiang Yubai stared at her closely, his tone quite aggrieved.
Ruan Yuntang sneered in his heart.
I feel like this guy is really good at acting.
He was clearly being affectionate with Qiao Sujin just now, but now he's acting pitiful from a distance.
But thinking about the original text, he and Qiao Sujin were originally engaged, but Jiang Shaohuan just snatched them away.
And now she is just like Jiang Shaohuan, just the one who intercepted the opportunity.
But the male and female protagonists are the original couple after all, so what are she and Jiang Yubai?
Ruan Yuntang was too lazy to think about it, and immediately handed over the drawing that he was about to give him.
"I drew this based on the footprints on the wooden planks. I just asked around about the people who might have been here yesterday..."
She briefly described the appearance characteristics of those people, then turned and was about to leave.
Jiang Yubai still refused to let go, staring at her, secretly guessing and asking: "Are you angry because I didn't tell you this?"
Ruan Yuntang frowned, "No."
Jiang Yubai keenly caught her expression and explained, "I'm just guessing about this matter. I can't be sure yet. I'll tell you once I've investigated it thoroughly."
Ruan Yuntang didn't say much, just nodded, "Can you let me go now? I want to go back and rest."
Jiang Yubai saw that her little face was tired and thought that she was tired, so he let go.
Ruan Yuntang quickly retracted his hand and turned away.
Jiang Yubai looked at her fleeing back, his brows furrowed again.
His intuition told him that Ruan Yuntang was still angry.
Recalling that she had just come down from the brigade, he looked up at the hillside and said to Zhao Qiang beside him:
"Just watch over here, I'll go upstairs."
…
Ruan Yuntang walked straight to the village chief's house, but on the way he ran into Jiang Shaohuan who was moving road gravel.
"Comrade Ruan, what a coincidence."
Although he was holding a pile of dark stones in his arms, there was no trace of disgust on his face. However, when he turned around, a wallet fell from his waist and landed on the ground, covered in mud.
Seeing that he was in trouble, Ruan Yuntang picked it up for him, but he was at a loss when returning it to him.
Jiang Shaohuan's hands were full of stones, and his wallet was close to his body, so it was not convenient for her to help him put it back.
"Comrade Ruan, if you are free now, could you please wait for me on the side of the road? I will go and put the stone over first." The man requested.
Ruan Yuntang had a good impression of him after these few times, and since he had nothing to do, he nodded.
But when the man came back from work, his hands were dirty and he couldn't pick up the clean wallet at all.
"Comrade Ruan, if it's convenient for you, could you wait for me to wash my hands?" Jiang Shaohuan asked in embarrassment.
Seeing that he was a person with mysophobia, Ruan Yuntang was not in a hurry and nodded.
Jiang Shaohuan then led her to his temporary residence.
Just nearby, there is a brick house that was not washed away.
"Come in and have a drink of water?" Jiang Shaohuan asked when he entered the room.
Before Ruan Yuntang could refuse, a warm-hearted lady came out with a cup of hot tea.
"Come on, come on, let's go in and have some tea!"
Unable to resist the enthusiasm, Ruan Yuntang was half-pulled into the house.
The house was very clean and the yard was spotless, which seemed somewhat out of place in the countryside. Especially the lady's gestures were not like those of a country woman. Even the tea she brewed was fragrant, which showed that she had some skill.
The taste is also somewhat familiar.
Ruan Yuntang sat in the main room with a cup of tea. He took a sip, glanced at the equally clean and bright room, and asked casually:
"Aunt, is your house newly built?"
"Yes!" The old lady smiled warmly and pointed at the man washing his face and hands outside the house. "Thanks to these comrades who came to rescue me, I can live in this comfortable house so quickly!"
“This is even better than where I lived before!”
"Now the whole village is envious of me because I finished building the house before the other slow-moving team arrived!"
Hearing this, Ruan Yuntang frowned slightly, "Aunt, you may have misunderstood. Right now, those soldiers are also very dedicated to helping everyone build their homes."
"How can you be serious? It's been a week and the foundation hasn't even been laid!" The old lady sneered and speculated secretly.
"I guess they were just sent here for show. After all, there are too few people who actually do the work!"
After she finished speaking, she noticed that Ruan Yuntang's face was not very good. Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Shaohuan came in from outside and said in a deep voice:
"Auntie, don't talk nonsense. The comrades in that team have their own methods and concerns. We are absolutely sincere in helping everyone."
