Chapter 83: My Heart Feels Cold

Speaking of Captain Wang, Chen Xiulan couldn't help but curl her lips.

"Lao Xu from our family also helped me wash the sheets before. But after being squeezed out by Lao Wang, he only dared to wash them secretly after dark. He was suffering for his face. Your Gu Zhenhua is better. He doesn't have such a heavy mental burden."

I didn't expect this to happen. Lin Xiangnan said with disdain: "This Captain Wang is really a troublemaker. Why is he everywhere?"

"It's not just Captain Wang. There are many people like him in our family compound. They make me angry just by looking at them..."

Chen Xiulan has lived in the staff housing compound for more than ten years, and there is a lot of gossip about her.

Seeing Chen Xiulan talking about the bad things about her brothers and her leader, Gu Zhenhua touched his nose and consciously took the broom to sweep the yard.

In one meal, Lin Xiangnan ate as much melon as he could and was greatly enlightened.

Only when the guests arrived did the three of them shut up and pretend to be serious. Lin Xiangnan also put on a gentle and sweet smile on his face.

As soon as the guests arrived, Gu Zhenhua started to hang out with them.

"You guys are lucky to have come at the right time. My brother-in-law specially sent a bag of bacon to his sister. I wanted Xiaonan to keep it for later, but she insisted on giving it to you guys to taste. I think it's a waste of good stuff to give it to you guys. You wild boars can't even eat the bran."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zhenhua was punched several times.

"Hit him, hit him hard. I can't stand Gu Zhenhua showing off."

A group of people came into the room laughing and joking. When they saw Lin Xiangnan and Chen Xiulan, they politely called them brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Everyone is familiar with Chen Xiulan, but Lin Xiangnan has just been in the family compound for a few days, and his fame was blown up by Captain Wang, so most people's eyes are on Lin Xiangnan.

Apart from anything else, Lin Xiangnan's face is indeed beautiful, her smile is sweet, and her hands are white and tender. At first glance, she looks like a delicate little girl.

Marrying a wife like this, it doesn't seem strange that Gu Zhen Hua is fond of her at all.

There were so many people, so Lin Xiangnan also took it up and said in a gentle voice, "Come in and sit down. There is another dish in the kitchen and it will be ready soon."

"Sister-in-law, don't bother. These dishes are enough." Everyone responded enthusiastically.

Battalion Commander Wang had a strange expression on his face and didn't know what to say.

How come this person has two faces?

Gu Zhenhua's salary was not low, so Lin Xiangnan prepared a rich meal, including chicken stewed with mushrooms, bacon, roasted loach, fried meat, and crispy peanuts...

Lin Xiangnan has studied cooking skills and is generous with his ingredients. The aroma alone on the table of dishes is enough to make one salivate.

During the meal, even Captain Wang couldn't say anything bad, and could only praise: "Your bacon is really delicious."

It smells good, but he can't explain why.

In the current situation, even with a high salary, there is no place to enjoy it.

Political Commissar Xu was picky, and after eating a piece, he said, "They must have used other spices when marinating it. The taste is different from ordinary bacon."

"Yes. The salt for pickling meat must first be fried with star anise, Sichuan pepper, cinnamon and other things to let the aroma come out. After the meat is pickled, it must be smoked with cypress branches."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiulan turned her chopsticks towards the plate of bacon, "That's so troublesome. I'll have to eat a few more slices."

After eating, Chen Xiulan gave Lin Xiangnan a thumbs up.

What's wrong with not washing clothes? Just based on this meal, Lin Xiangnan's reputation will be able to turn around.

She is beautiful, has a good temper, and can cook, but she is still not satisfied with all these. That is Gu Zhenhua's problem.

A few men wanted to drink, so Lin Xiangnan and Chen Xiulan left the table after finishing their meal, leaving the space for them.

Lin Xiangnan went back to the second floor to rest early. After seeing off the guests, Gu Zhenhua cleaned up the kitchen on his own initiative. He took a shower before returning to the room, going to bed and hugging the person in his arms.

Seeing that Lin Xiangnan was still asleep, Gu Zhenghua whispered in her ear: "You are also tired today. I will wash the dirty clothes I changed tomorrow. Don't move. If you wash the clothes, I don't know how proud Lao Wang will be."

"good."

"I'll come back early tomorrow afternoon. I'll open the door so that when Lao Wang comes back, he can see me washing clothes." Gu Zhenhua said proudly, "I'll make him mad to death."

If he was a person who cared about his reputation, his reputation in his hometown would not be so bad.

The gossip in the past was much more hurtful than the bullying from Captain Wang.

Lin Xiangnan instantly perked up when he heard him say that, "Then I'll accompany you tomorrow."

The next evening, Gu Zhenhua indeed came back jogging.

Seeing that Lin Xiangnan had helped prepare the hot water and the small stool, he tidied up, immediately rolled up his sleeves, and sat on his throne.

Lin Xiangnan sat next to him, not doing any work. He peeled oranges leisurely and occasionally fed a slice into Gu Zhenhua's mouth.

“Is it sweet?”

"sweet."

Captain Wang saw their situation before he even reached his doorstep. Although he felt disgusted, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at them.

Although Lin Xiangnan was not working, she was laughing and joking beside Gu Zhenhua, and it was obvious that the two of them had a good relationship.

A beautiful woman who knows how to live is indeed a wonderful thing, but Captain Wang knows that he is not worthy of her.

He pushed open the door of his house with mixed feelings, and when he saw the unwashed clothes in the basin next to the faucet, his brows immediately frowned.

"Caixia, what's wrong with you? The clothes have been piled up for two days and you haven't washed them yet?"

Luo Caixia was a little scared, but she still timidly replied: "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable."

"What's wrong with you?" Captain Wang said with disdain, "Washing clothes can affect the baby in your belly? I didn't marry you to be my ancestor and enjoy happiness. You have only been in the city for a few days, and you have already learned these bad habits."

Captain Wang is quite self-aware. He knows that he cannot control a professional woman like Chen Xiulan, nor can he coax a pretty girl who was brought up in the city. He chooses capable women who are not valued in the countryside as his wives.

This is the only way to serve him comfortably.

His ex-wife took good care of him and never let him worry about household matters. He just had everything he needed.

It's just that the other person was unlucky and died too early.

The new wife is obviously not as virtuous as the previous one. She is young and spoiled.

"If you can do it, then do it. If you can't, I'll send you back home." Captain Wang scolded unceremoniously: "Seeing Lin Xiangnan next door ordering people around, you want to follow suit, right? I'm not a fool like Gu Zhenhua who would be ordered around by a woman."

Hearing these words, Luo Caixia's face turned pale.

Just now she said her stomach felt uncomfortable, but it was fake. But now she really felt pain in her stomach. Not only did her stomach hurt, but her heart also felt cold.
