Gu Qinglin has been away on a mission for half a month and has not returned yet.
Shen Man always felt a little lonely when she was alone at home, so Sister Yunxiang would come over from time to time to sit and talk with her.
"Xiao Shen, I pickled some vegetables and brought them over for you to try. See if you like them. If you like them, I'll bring you some more."
Sister Yunxiang handed a large bowl full of kimchi to Shen Man as she spoke.
"Sister-in-law, your kimchi smells so good. I like this sour and spicy taste the most."
Shen Man's eyes lit up and she took the bowl of kimchi. Then she turned around, took out a handful of candy from the cupboard and stuffed it into Sister Yunxiang's hand.
It’s not a big deal, just enough for each of the children in her family to get one.
"Sister-in-law, I don't have anything good here, but I have some fruit candies left. You can take them back to sweeten the kids' mouths."
Sister Yunxiang waved her hands and declined, "They are all grown up, they don't need to eat candy, don't let them get used to it."
"A few days ago, you picked some melon seeds for them, and they kept whispering in my ear that the lady next door is not only pretty, but also gentle."
Shen Man smiled, but still forced the candy in her hand into Sister Yunxiang's arms.
"Sister-in-law, just take it. I'm the only one in this family, and I like to eat this candy. It's just right to give it to them. It would be a waste if they eat it all."
Sister Yunxiang had no choice but to take it. Suddenly, she remembered something, "Oh, you know that old woman Huang, right? She brought her niece Huang Hongxing here today, and she was always walking around in front of Captain Lu."
"Anyone with a discerning eye knows what they are thinking. It's nothing more than that Captain Lu is now single, and if Huang Hongxing can get close to him, she will be able to become a phoenix in the future."
"You just came to the family home recently, and you know some things. The former Mrs. Huang, Huang Hongxing, even had her eyes on your family's head patron. Unfortunately, your head patron liked her and rejected her outright."
"Mrs. Huang is so angry that she even asked her son-in-law, An Jianguo, to come to see Director Gu and ask them to meet each other in person, get to know each other in detail, and then decide whether to reject each other."
"I didn't expect that after being rejected, these two people would still die, and now they are targeting Captain Lu."
Sister Yunxiang changed the subject and joked, "But it seems like you two are destined to be together. The man they targeted before is now your man, and the man they are targeting now is your ex-husband."
"If they knew, they would be so angry that they would die."
Suddenly, she shut her mouth, looked at Shen Man cautiously, and said apologetically, "Shen, please forgive me. Look at my mouth. I'm not good at talking."
Once married, women will generally end up getting divorced. Although she knows the reason for the divorce, it is definitely not a good thing.
Blame her for saying the wrong thing and mentioning Captain Lu in front of Shen.
Shen Man shook her head, "Sister-in-law, it's okay."
Sister Yunxiang took a close look at her, and only after she was sure that she was fine did she breathe a sigh of relief. "By the way, Xiao Shen, your team leader Gu hasn't come back yet. It's been almost half a month, right?"
The couple had been married for only a few months, but they had been separated for such a long time. They must have started missing each other a long time ago.
Speaking of this person, Shen Man missed him a little, and wanted to tell him about the child. He should be very happy.
"Well, I also know when I will be back."
The next afternoon.
When Shen Man came back from the cafeteria, she suddenly saw a woman with dark skin and a patch of highland red standing in front of Lu Zhengguo, saying something to him shyly.
Since Lu Zhengguo had his back to Shen Man, she could see the man's expression clearly, but from the shy look on the woman's face, she guessed that the two were having a good chat.
So she turned around and planned to take a detour and take another route.
But I haven't taken many steps yet.
Then I heard the man's cold voice, "No, I don't plan to find a partner. Comrade Huang, if you have this idea, I can ask someone to introduce you to a suitable partner."
She didn't know if it was Shen Man's illusion, but she always felt that this man's voice was colder than before, and his temper was also better than before.
Thinking of this, she felt more and more that it was right to divorce.
Let’s go quickly.
Before Shen Man had taken a few steps, a tall and straight figure blocked her way, and the sound of a man gnashing his teeth came again.
"Do you want to see me so badly that you would rather take a detour to avoid me?"
Lu Zhengguo stared at the woman standing far away with dark eyes.
Shen Man didn't even look at him, but turned around and walked back.
The biggest thing she knew about this man was that he could understand human language.
Last time she had told him clearly not to disturb her life again, but this man appeared in front of her in various ways over and over again.
Sometimes he didn't say anything or come over, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her became more and more unscrupulous, especially when there was no one around.
He didn't avoid it at all. No matter what she said, he would look away.
How could she have known that this man was so obsessed with her when they were not divorced?
Now that they're divorced, he regrets it. He must be sick.
Shen Man quickened her pace to go home, but she could still feel the burning gaze behind her.
She took a deep breath and decided to tell Gu Qinglin about this when he came back.
"Brother Lu, why are you standing here all the time? It's so cold, are you cold?" Duan Ming came back from getting his meal and unexpectedly saw the man who had been standing there.
When he saw that the man's military coat was already covered with layers of snow, he frowned, walked up and patted Lu Zhengguo on the shoulder.
"Brother Lu, you have been acting so aggressive since you came back from your hometown. What happened?"
"Just tell me, I'm sure I can help you."
Lu Zhengguo was silent for a moment, and then he spoke after a while, "I remember you said you already have a wife in your hometown?"
"Yes, why are you asking this, Brother Lu? You must have taken a fancy to a lesbian in the family compound, otherwise why do you always go there recently?"
"But there are married sisters-in-law in the family compound. You...you won't..." Duan Ming's eyes widened suddenly, as if he knew some secret that he should know.
Lu Zhengguo glanced at him and said, "Shut up."
What married sister-in-law? She was obviously his wife, a real wife, who was just stolen away by someone.
Duan Ming suddenly thought of another possibility. "How could my brother Lu be the kind of bastard who covets other people's wives? He must be a married lesbian from a family who came to visit relatives, right?"
"That's no problem. Just tell me the name of that person and I promise to let you two go on a blind date tomorrow and get married within a month."
