Chapter 37: The captain was firmly in control, all thanks to the gossipy old peach tree by the pond



The captain, who was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat at the word "state secret", he immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was a letter of introduction for marriage. He glared at Ruan Qiqi, turned around and was about to leave with the bowl in his hand.

Bullshit state secrets, it’s just a marriage, how can it be a secret?

wrong!

The captain walked to the door of the woodshed, slammed on the brakes, turned around and asked, "Are you getting married? And your partner is the deputy battalion commander?"

"Captain, you are not old yet, but your memory is not good. I just said that."

Ruan Qiqi mocked unceremoniously.

When Ruan Dad was alive, the captain was relatively polite, but after Ruan Dad passed away, this guy sided with Ruan Guiming. Every time Ruan Guiming bullied the original sisters, he took sides and said that Ruan Guiming was the elder and they were the younger ones, so they had to respect their elders and not be rude.

He sounds very righteous, but in fact he just bullies the original sisters unscrupulously because they have no brothers.

The captain's face turned ugly. After entering the city, this damn girl became bolder and more eloquent, like a different person.

If it were any other time, he would have definitely given him a lecture, but he endured it.

Ruan Qiqi said that she found a boyfriend who was a deputy battalion commander. Wow, a deputy battalion commander, that must be a very high-ranking official. He couldn’t afford to offend him.

The captain was actually skeptical. Why would the deputy battalion commander fall for a country girl like Ruan Qiqi?

Are you still looking for a job for this damn girl?

He was so jealous that he was going crazy. Why did Ruan Qiqi always have good things happen to her? If he had known that there would be such good things going to the city, he would have let his niece accompany Ruan Qiqi to the city. Maybe the deputy battalion commander had taken a fancy to his niece.

"How old is your partner? He should be quite old to be the deputy battalion commander, right?"

The captain's tone was malicious. The company commander of his youngest son was already in his thirties, and this deputy battalion commander must be over forty, old enough to be Ruan Qiqi's father.

"He is six years older than me, 25 this year, tall, masculine and powerful. All the young men in Ruanjiawan combined are not as good-looking as my boyfriend."

Ruan Qiqi could tell that he had bad intentions and said that on purpose, but she was also telling the truth. Her man was just so outstanding, otherwise how could he be worthy of her?

The captain gritted his teeth, feeling more jealous than a jealous person, but he still had his suspicions. He thought Ruan Qiqi must be bragging. How could he be a deputy battalion commander at the age of 25? He must be talking big.

"My boyfriend is on a secret mission right now. When the mission is over, he will come to Ruanjiawan to get acquainted with us and get married. Captain, please get the letter of introduction as soon as possible, so as not to delay my marriage."

Ruan Qiqi said half-truthfully, and also warned: "Don't tell anyone in the village that I have found a partner. If you reveal the identity of my partner and affect his performance of official duties, you will be guilty of undermining national security and will be shot."

"Snap"

The captain was so frightened that he shuddered, his chopsticks dropped to the ground, and his hands holding the bowl shook constantly.

"So what did you tell me?"

The captain was filled with resentment. He didn't want to know such a confidential matter at all.

"You're the captain, so who else should I ask for a letter of introduction if not you?"

Ruan Qiqi retorted and rolled her eyes.

The captain was choked to the point of being speechless, and felt even more upset than if there was a fire burning in his heart.

"How did you and your partner meet?"

The captain suppressed his anger and asked patiently. He wanted to know the process so that his niece could learn from it. Maybe she could get him to become a battalion commander.

Ruan Qiqi squinted at him and said with a smile, "I have to thank He Jianjun for this. If he hadn't called off the engagement, I wouldn't have gone to the military district to make a scene. My boyfriend saw me making a scene and he particularly admired my heroic spirit, intelligence, talent for both civil and military affairs, and my beauty. He fell in love with me at first sight and took the initiative to propose that we become revolutionary partners, so that we can make progress together, contribute to the construction of socialism, and live a happy life."

"The deputy battalion commander fell in love with you at first sight? And he even offered to marry you?"

The captain's tone was hard to describe. No matter how he listened, he felt that Ruan Qiqi was bragging.

As a deputy battalion commander, he must have extraordinary knowledge. Why would he cling to a country girl like Ruan Qiqi?

Maybe Ruan Qiqi was pestering the deputy battalion commander and used some tricks, such as climbing into bed in the middle of the night, to control the deputy battalion commander.

The more the captain thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth, and he felt much more comfortable.

But he still felt that Ruan Qiqi was quite capable. No matter how despicable her plan was, it was successful in the end. Feelings are developed through time. After marriage, they sleep in the same bed for three to five months, and their feelings grow deep. If they have three or five children, their marriage will be unbreakable.

He turned around and told his niece to learn Ruan Qiqi's strategy. Even if she couldn't get the deputy battalion commander back, she could at least get a city official.

"Captain, you don't believe me? You think a country girl like me is not worthy of the deputy battalion commander falling in love with me at first sight?"

Ruan Qiqi asked back in a sarcastic tone.

"I didn't say that. I'll give you the letter of introduction later."

The captain flatly denied it and his attitude became much more polite.

Ruan Qiqi is now the deputy battalion commander's fiancée. Her status is no longer what it used to be. He has to curry favor with her. His youngest son's future will depend on Ruan Qiqi!

"Don't go out and talk nonsense. If you ruin my man's mission, you'll be in trouble..."

Ruan Qiqi stretched out her hand and scratched her neck eerily.

The captain shuddered and quickly assured, "I'm very tight-lipped. I won't say a word."

Ruan Qiqi smiled and asked casually, "Were the peaches from Widow Liu's house delicious last night? They were sweet, right?"

The captain's face changed drastically, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body shook even more violently.

How did this damn girl know that he went to see Widow Liu last night?

"If your cousin knew that you often go to Widow Liu's house to eat peaches, would he treat you to stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots?"

"If the commune finds out, will you lose your job as team leader? Will you go to a farm for reform or clean toilets?"

Ruan Qiqi looked at the sweaty captain with a smile, but her words were cold and every word controlled the captain.

When she came, she chatted with an old peach tree by the pond. This century-old peach tree was knowledgeable and even more gossipy than the old ginkgo tree. It knew all the romantic stories in Ruanjiawan Village and could tell them all like a treasure.

The old peach tree can tell the time and place, the details of the actions, and even the passionate dialogues.

Because the old peach tree bears many fruits every year, the birds and small animals within a ten-mile radius respect it very much. They will tell the old peach tree everything that happens in the village, no matter how big or small.

Time was limited, so Ruan Qiqi only inquired about the captain's romantic gossip. The original body said that the captain was very lustful and such a man would definitely not be honest. Sure enough, he was having an affair with the romantic widow in the village, and this improper relationship had lasted for five or six years.

The team leader was sweating profusely and his face turned pale. Although he was lustful, he was not very courageous. He did not want to lose his official hat, and even less did he want to go to the farm for reform.

"Qiqi, I'm still your second uncle. We are a family. Don't tell your second aunt about these things. Your second uncle will treat you as his own niece from now on."

The captain quickly changed his expression, played the family card, and promised that he would stand by her side in the future and would never speak for Ruan Guiming again.

"I hope you keep your word, otherwise don't blame me for disregarding our kinship and sending you to a farm for reform. Then I'll report to the Jiangcheng Military Region that my cousin has a gangster father and he probably can't stay in the army anymore."

Ruan Qiqi was not at all tactful and threatened directly.

The captain was extremely angry, but he still had to smile and say nice things, and swear, before Ruan Qiqi agreed not to tell anyone.

"We can't talk inside. The woodshed is dark and cold. What's the point of staying here?"

The voice of the captain's wife was heard outside the door.

Ruan Qiqi gave the captain a meaningful look, her big eyes shining in the darkness, which made the captain's bones cold. He couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

He seemed to see the tragic end of Ruan Guiming and He Jianjun's family.

Having offended that evil woman Ruan Qiqi, these two families will definitely suffer a bad ending. Fortunately, he didn't do anything too extreme before. Thank goodness!
