Lin Manyun felt ashamed and angry, but more of it was regret. If she had known that Shi Jinghong was playing tricks on her, she would not have signed that damn document.

"Old Lu, I was forced to do this. Shi Jinghong threatened me, and I signed because I was scared. I didn't want a divorce. Old Lu, I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"

Lin Manyun was flexible and her legs were softer than grass. She just knelt down, wiping her tears and begging for mercy.

The concubine's behavior made everyone else dumbfounded.

Those who came to the cadre school were all people of status and position. Ordinary people could not come here. Lin Manyun's behavior was incompatible with the people in the cadre school, and everyone looked at her with some contempt.

Lu Desheng held the basin and moved aside, too lazy to pay attention to the woman.

"I never go back to my old love. Lin Manyun, reform yourself and stop disgusting me!"

Lu Desheng cursed angrily and then cursed the farm leader. Damn it, this must have been arranged on purpose to disgust him!

"Lin Manyun, stop embarrassing yourself like that concubine of yours and go and pull out the weeds. If you don't do it well, you won't have any food tonight!"

Yuan Huilan strode over and dragged Lin Manyun to go to work.

In the afternoon, she and Lin Manyun were assigned to work together. After pulling out the weeds in a field, she carefully finished her half, while the lazy Lin Manyun didn't even finish one-third of it.

After receiving Mo Qiufeng's instructions, the farm leader was quite caring towards Yuan Huilan and didn't say anything, but Yuan Huilan was not happy and insisted on dragging Lin Manyun to pull weeds.

"Let me go, Yuan Huilan, you are crazy. The leader didn't say anything, why are you jumping up and down to interfere? You are so capable, but you also came to the cadre school to work? You are not much nobler than me. We are equal now. What qualifications do you have to control me?"

Lin Manyun tried her best to break free, but she was not as tall or strong as Yuan Huilan, so she couldn't break free at all.

"The organization will investigate my affairs thoroughly. Lin Manyun, you have to weed out the weeds for me. Don't even think about coming back if you haven't done so!"

Yuan Huilan had a cold face and dragged her to work in the fields.

Lin Manyun's cursing became increasingly distant, and the two of them soon disappeared into the night.

"Comrade Lu, you don't care?"

Someone asked jokingly.

"What right do I have to care? It has nothing to do with me anymore!"

Lu Desheng glared at her unhappily and lowered his head to eat noodles, which tasted less and less tasty. He had already finished the pot of meat his daughter-in-law had sent him last time, and his mouth was almost dry.

The others all laughed and stopped joking.

"dad!"

Ruan Qiqi and Lu Ye appeared at the right time. They had been hiding in the dark and watched a good show. Yuan Huilan and Lu Desheng both performed well.

Lu Desheng's eyes lit up, he looked directly at the bag in Lu Ye's hand and swallowed hard.

It must be meat!

Lu Desheng led them back to the house. Lu Ye put a pot of meat on the lame table, glanced at his father, and said nothing.

"Finally there's meat. I'm so greedy!"

Lu Desheng opened the lid and saw the shiny slices of fat. His mouth started watering again. He was craving for a bite of it.

With meat to go with the rice, the big bowl of noodles was finished quickly, and half of the bowl of meat was gone.

Although Lu Desheng has aged a lot, he is still in good spirits and has a good appetite. He can still eat so much meat in his sixties, and his appetite is better than that of young people.

"Dad, this is Qumi fish. It can be eaten after steaming for half an hour."

Ruan Qiqi placed a jar of Qumi fish in the corner and told him how to eat it.

"This is delicious. I ate it a few times when I went to Xiangxi to fight bandits. It goes well with rice!"

Lu Desheng loves eating fish, and he loves it even more. He started drooling just by listening to it.

"You have meat and fish, but don't let your full stomach lead you to lust and rekindle your old relationship with Lin Manyun!"

Lu Ye said something in a sarcastic tone.

"Nonsense, am I the kind of person who has a weak will?"

Lu Desheng's face turned red with anger. Divorce is divorce, and there is no way he would go back to his wife.

What's more, he hated Lin Manyun so much that if it wasn't against the rules, he would have wanted to kill this vicious woman.

"You have such a strong will, stronger than tofu, but you've been bewitched by Lin Manyun in less than a month. Humph, how dare you say such things!"

Lu Ye was not polite at all and exposed his lie.

Lu Desheng blushed, but still defended himself stubbornly: "Things were different then. I know her true face now, and I won't be fooled. All right, you guys go back. I'm fine here."

"Don't be so conceited. I'm here to see when you're going to die!"

Lu Ye confronted him without thinking.

Lu Desheng was choked and his expression became helpless. He sighed, lowered his head and said nothing.

Most of his hair was white. Lu Ye stood there and saw his gray hair. He swallowed back the rest of the treasonous words.

It's a long process, we'll talk about it later.

“Let’s go!”

Lu Ye said in a gruff voice and walked out.

Ruan Qiqi smiled and went out as well.

"Don't you want to go see your mother?" Lu Desheng asked.

"Look at shit!"

Lu Ye retorted and walked faster.

Lu Desheng curled his lips, feeling somewhat proud. In his rebellious son's heart, his status was still higher than Yuan Huilan's.

Ruan Qiqi and Lu Ye did not go back, but went to the fields to watch the show.

"Yuan Huilan, I'll get up tomorrow morning to pull them out. It's too dark to see clearly, and my hands are all rubbed raw!"

Lin Manyun begged desperately. The moon was not bright tonight and some of the grass was very sharp. Her hands were cut several times and it hurt so much.

"You have another task tomorrow, hurry up and pull the weeds. If you spend all this time pulling weeds, you would have finished it long ago!"

Yuan Huilan was ruthless and impartial. She held a bamboo stick in her hand and stood by to supervise the work. If Lin Manyun was lazy in the slightest, she would hit her with the stick, and it hurt a lot.

"Ah... I'm pulling it out, stop it!"

Lin Manyun was in so much pain that tears were streaming down her face. She hated Yuan Huilan so much, but she didn't dare show it.

Now she is helpless. Yuan Huilan has a husband who is a political commissar, and she cannot afford to offend him.

Lin Manyun cried while pulling weeds, feeling hatred and regret in her heart. If she could go back on time, she would definitely work with Lu Desheng on the farm and never have other thoughts about him again.

Now she could only hope to win some honor from the Liberation Army and the Korean Aid Army. If she could make meritorious contributions on the border, she might even be able to get some credit and leave this damn place.

"Why are you crying? You abused Xiaoye so cruelly before. Why are you crying now? Get to work!"

Yuan Huilan pulled hard again.

Lin Manyun jumped up in pain. She simply stopped pulling out the weeds and rushed over to fight with Yuan Huilan.

With the help of anger, she and Yuan Huilan temporarily reached a draw.

"What qualifications do you have to scold me? I'm a stepmother, so what's wrong with me being mean to my stepson? You're his biological mother, so why don't you care? Humph, Yuan Huilan, you have no right to criticize me. You, the biological mother, don't care and give all your love to your stepson, and you still have the nerve to blame me? Bah... I didn't abuse my own son!"

"I was wrong, but I still want to teach you a lesson. If you have any opinions, just keep them to yourself!"

Yuan Huilan quickly gained the upper hand, rode on Lin Manyun, beat her into submission, and forced her to continue pulling weeds.

Lin Manyun was pulling out weeds while cursing in a very ugly voice. Yuan Huilan couldn't stand it anymore and hit her with a bamboo stick.

Ruan Qiqi and Lu Yemao were in the bushes, watching with great joy, feeling completely happy.
