Chapter 21 Live a good life with you
Lu Zhanlin's words were strange, but the sisters-in-law around him were too shocked to pay attention to these details. Instead, they looked at Lu Zhanlin in amazement.
"Captain Lu usually looks cold and aloof, but he came back specially to pick up his wife. It turns out he's a caring person."
"Big sister, you've been riding in a car, delivering a baby, and taking care of such a big child. You must be exhausted all day. Go back with Captain Lu and rest."
"Yes, you two have finally met each other, so we won't disturb you. We can talk tomorrow. Hurry up and take the children back with Captain Lu."
The sisters-in-law glanced between Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue with ambiguous eyes, as if they had already seen the couple's long-awaited love, which was as passionate as newlyweds. Not only did they look at each other in ambiguous ways, but they also covered their mouths and laughed from time to time.
There was a constant stream of teasing around him, but Lu Zhanlin stood aside with a calm expression, as if those words were not directed at him.
Humph, it’s just acting, everyone can do it.
Chu Yue patted the steamed bread crumbs on her palms and turned back to remind Lu Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, let's go home."
As soon as Lu Yuanbao heard Chu Yue's words, he immediately stuffed the remaining small piece of steamed bun into his mouth, and his small figure trotted to catch up.
Chu Yue walked in front, and Lu Yuanbao followed beside her. When he passed in front of Lu Zhanlin, he raised his bright black eyes and glanced at him carefully, trying to see Lu Zhanlin's appearance clearly.
He... looks a lot like his mother.
After Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao left, Lu Zhanlin tactfully picked up the backpack left behind by Chu Yue, the one he had seen on the train.
The moment he picked it up, Lu Zhanlin was a little surprised and found it strangely heavy.
It was not easy for her, a little girl, to carry him all the way.
Lu Zhanlin turned around, gave Song Qi a look, and ordered in a cold voice, "Go to the military medical team immediately and ask them to send someone to check on the pregnant woman and the child."
"Yes, Captain Lu!"
Song Qi stood at attention and saluted, then took action immediately.
Lu Zhanlin had personally witnessed Chu Yue's quick and efficient bone setting. It wasn't that he didn't trust Chu Yue's midwifery skills, but out of thorough considerations, he had to be absolutely sure.
It’s Chu Yue’s first day in the army, and she can’t be involved in any risks.
After Lu Zhanlin finished doing all this, he took a big step forward with his long legs and caught up with Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao.
This time, I really brought my wife and children home.
…
When Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue left.
Li Jinhua's anxious roar was heard from Wang Chunling's house.
"Where's my eldest grandson?! Where did my eldest grandson go!... How did he turn into a little girl? I told you not to have surgery, not to have surgery! But you didn't listen, and now my eldest grandson is gone! You have to compensate me for my eldest grandson..."
“Wow…wow…wow…wow…”
In the room, which had just been quiet for a while, the old man's cursing and the baby's crying could be heard one after another.
…
The house assigned to Lu Zhanlin was in the center of the front row of the compound. It was also a simple small bungalow, but it looked obviously larger than Wang Chunling's house. The yard in front of the house was also large and spacious, but it was idle and overgrown with weeds.
Chu Yue took a few glances and felt sorry for it.
With such a good location and such good sunshine, if we can grow some fruits and vegetables, it will be enough for the whole family to be self-sufficient.
Only after experiencing the steel and concrete cage of the city did I realize how precious the farm life of returning to nature is.
She silently withdrew her gaze and followed the tall figure in front of her into the house.
The outside of the house looks simple, and the inside can be described as shabby. In the huge space, there is only a square table. The table has not been used for a long time and is covered with a thick layer of dust.
There was a musty smell in the air, and uncleaned cobwebs hung from the beams.
Chu Yue frowned. This house didn't look like anyone lived in it.
Just as I was wondering, Lu Zhanlin's voice came from the side.
"This room was just assigned to me after I submitted my marriage certificate. I used to live alone in the military office, and I've only been here once, so I haven't had time to clean it yet. You and Yuanbao can stay here for one night, or stay in a guesthouse. Let me know if you need anything, and I'll have it delivered tomorrow."
This way, everything makes sense.
But Chu Yue didn't care about these. After she glanced at the surrounding environment, her clear eyes finally fell directly on Lu Zhanlin.
Seeing this, Lu Zhanlin felt panicked.
As the commander of a corps, he had been to the battlefield and been hit by bullets. He had experienced all kinds of gunfire and hail of bullets, but he had never been afraid.
Now, he actually showed his cowardice in front of a little girl.
Without waiting for Chu Yue to ask, Lu Zhanlin touched the bridge of his nose and said, "I didn't pretend not to know you on the train."
"Why is that?" Chu Yue still looked at Lu Zhanlin, waiting for his answer.
Lu Zhanlin said in a deep voice, "Because I'm not sure if you are really here to join the army."
Chu Yue frowned, not understanding what Lu Zhanlin meant.
Lu Zhanlin didn't continue speaking for the time being, and looked at Lu Yuanbao with deep eyes.
Chu Yue immediately understood what Lu Zhanlin meant. She took out another steamed bun from her backpack and stuffed it into Lu Yuanbao's pocket. "Go eat the bun outside and don't eavesdrop."
Lu Yuanbao was so smart that Chu Yue had to give him more advice.
Lu Zhanlin watched the interaction between the two, one big and one small. After Lu Yuanbao took the steamed bun, he glanced at Chu Yue and walked out obediently. They were more intimate than when they were on the train.
The door was closed, and only Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue were left.
"You should have heard about Yuanbao's mother, my biological sister. My sister died tragically at a young age because of an arranged marriage. I don't want this tragedy to happen again. You have more choices."
Perhaps because he mentioned his sister's miserable life, Lu Zhanlin's expression became a little colder and heavier than before.
In other words, he gave Chu Yue more choices.
Even if he didn't join the army, Lu Zhanlin would have agreed to a divorce before; now that he has met Chu Yue, Lu Zhanlin's mind has subtly changed.
My wife is right in front of me, so there is no reason to push her away.
Lu Zhanlin also said, "I'm sorry, I also concealed my identity."
He was not a platoon leader but a regimental commander, and he was not disfigured or disabled. A bullet just grazed his scalp, leaving a scar, but the scar was covered by his hair when it grew back.
After hearing this, Chu Yue's frown relaxed and she accepted Lu Zhanlin's explanation in its entirety.
It's strange that this man spent so much money on Li A-mei and Chu Yaoyao, but he didn't even want his wives and let them go.
It’s a pity that Li Amei and Chu Yaoyao were so guilty that they didn’t even dare to say a word of refusal, which made this marriage happen inexplicably.
As for Lu Zhanlin...
Chu Yue looked the man up and down. He was handsome, with broad shoulders and long legs. He looked very upright and looked particularly good in his military uniform.
She didn't lose out by choosing this man as her husband.
Chu Yue raised an eyebrow and made a decision in her heart.
"Lu Zhanlin, you don't have to apologize to me, because I'm also hiding something from you."
This time, the person who was stunned became Lu Zhanlin.
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
Chu Yue continued, "The person you were initially engaged to, your original wife, is called Chu Yaoyao, and I am her half-sister. Chu Yaoyao was admitted to university this year and doesn't want to join the army, but she spent ten years of your money and doesn't know how to bring it up with you. So, when you first filed your marriage registration, the information I sent you was mine, and now I'm the one joining the army."
Before Lu Zhanlin finished listening, his thick eyebrows were already furrowed together and his expression was fierce.
He hadn't expected such a secret to be revealed, let alone that Li A-mei and Chu Yaoyao, mother and daughter, could do such a thing. They were both "half-brothers", so what kind of sister was she! Chu Yue was just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl who didn't even have the ability to resist. She was inexplicably married and replaced. Could she have been willing?
Lu Zhanlin's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "Then you..."
But after moving out of the Chu family and sending the letter of denunciation, Chu Yue had let go of all the hatred.
She raised her eyes, her eyes were clear and bright. Even though she was dirty at this moment, her pretty face could still be seen, pretty and bright.
Chu Yue looked at Lu Zhanlin seriously, "We have obtained a marriage certificate, so we are officially husband and wife. I also like Lu Yuanbao's child. Since I came to join the army, I just want to live a good life with you."

Note: Lu Zhanlin had never seen Chu Yaoyao when she was a child, so he couldn't remember what she looked like.
