Chapter 45: The Trick 2
The two of them had just taken a few steps when Wen Zhu suddenly rummaged through his bag, as if he had discovered something. He slapped his thigh and said anxiously.
"Oh, brother, what should I do? I lost the old military uniform I finally got. Why don't we go back and look for it? It was still there just now! It would be a shame to lose it! Nowadays, young girls like to wear military uniforms, even if they are old. The fabric is stronger than ordinary ones."
Jiang Jianye pulled Wen Zhu's arm and walked forward, urging her, "Forget it, forget it. The clothes are not as important as the fish. They were just lost nearby. There aren't many people around now anyway. It doesn't matter. Let's get the tools to kill the fish first. We'll come back later and pass by here to look for the clothes."
Then he pulled Wen Zhu and ran away quickly.
Wang Mazi, who had originally planned to tease Wen Zhu, such a beautiful girl, when he saw her from afar, his eyes rolled around when he heard what the two said. He immediately pretended nothing had happened, put his hands in his sleeves, and passed by them.
After seeing the two figures turn a small path, he quickly quickened his pace and walked towards the river.
"As long as I, Wang Mazi, pick it up, it's mine, hehe."
After taking a few steps, my wandering eyes saw a neatly folded military uniform in the green grass by the roadside.
His eyes lit up, and he took a few quick steps forward to pick it up. He looked around, but there was no one there. They had all gone to work in the fields. Thinking of what the two men had just said, he quickly picked up the clothes, unbuttoned the patched coat and put it in his arms.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was not a good idea. What if the two of them turned around and found him holding such an obvious military uniform, wouldn't they know that he had picked it up? Suddenly, an idea came to him. He remembered that the beautiful girl said that older girls like men in military uniforms. If he put it on, wouldn't it be...
So without thinking, he quickly put the clothes on himself.
He's short, so it looks ridiculous in the suit. He has to roll up his trouser legs and sleeves several times to barely be able to walk. But Wang Mazi doesn't consider himself ugly at all. On the contrary, he thinks he's incredibly handsome. He's sure to charm a lot of girls. He'll have to choose from many when he gets married.
Put on the clothes. Even if the two men come back and say that the clothes are theirs, they will have no way to prove it. After all, the clothes are on you.
He couldn't help but feel proud of his own cleverness. Whistling contentedly, he trotted towards the river at the entrance of the village.
Wen Zhu and Jiang Jianye hid behind a pile of firewood. Seeing that the old bachelor named Wang Mazi had fallen into the trap as expected, they did not dare to delay and quickly ran to Wang Liang's house.
When I found my second brother, he was chatting with a young man in the yard of this house. Seeing his rare smile, I knew that he and Wang Liang had a good relationship in the army.
Wen Zhu shouted loudly, "Second brother."
Jiang Jianbei turned around in surprise and was very surprised to see that his third brother and younger sister had come.
"Little sister, Jianye, why are you here?"
Wen Zhu did not delay, but greeted Wang Liang, pulled his second brother aside and quietly explained the main points of the matter.
Jiang Jianbei immediately became serious and said to Wang Liang, who stood up with the help of the chair back, "Liangzi, something happened at home suddenly, and I may have to go back first. I can only come to see you another day."
The young man called Liangzi stood on his left foot weakly, picked up a stick from the side, and walked over. He patted Jiang Jianbei on the shoulder and said reluctantly, "You've only been here for a while, and you're leaving before your butt is even warm. I don't have anything to treat you. When you leave, take this piece of bacon with you. Since I have something else to do, I won't keep you here."
As he said this, he handed the bacon tied with palm leaves to Jiang Jianbei.
Jiang Jianbei naturally refused to accept it.
In the end, I took it because I didn't want to delay what my sister was talking about. I secretly put some money into my comrade's pocket.
Wang Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him accept it.
"Alright, even though my legs are injured, I can walk very fast. Come on, I'll take you to the village entrance."
Jiang Jianbei was about to refuse when his sister tugged at the corner of his clothes, and the words on his lips changed direction and turned into a single word, "Okay."
Wen Zhu knew that his brother's comrade-in-arms Wang Liang was able to allow his brother to come back for vacation and still remembered to come and see him, which meant that he must be a worthy person.
From what she overheard before, she felt that Wang Liang must have been dating Zhang Shuihua, but after he was injured and discharged from the army, Zhang's family felt that he had no future and broke up with him.
She didn't know who Zhang Shuihua would look for after he was reborn and repented, but based on her guess, it was most likely Wang Liang.
Wang Liang is also unlucky. In his previous life, he was abandoned by Zhang Shuihua because of his foot injury and lack of future. After his rebirth, Zhang Shuihua may have known that he has a future, so she came to harm him again.
Since she had met him and he was her brother's friend, she should let him see Zhang Shuihua's true face as soon as possible, so that she wouldn't come to harm him again after her rebirth.
Just as a few people were walking towards the village entrance, Wang Mazi was already parading through the streets in his military uniform, heading towards the river at the village entrance.
Zhang Shuihua's younger brother, Zhang Erjun, saw a man in military uniform approaching from a distance and quickly ran to tell his mother. Wu Qiuju gave her son two cents, sent him off to play, and then said to her eldest daughter:
"When that officer passes by later, just shout for help. I don't believe he will just stand by and watch you die."
Zhang Shuihua frowned as she watched the figure wandering towards her from afar. She wondered why this officer was so short and walked so sloppily. She wondered if entrusting her life to such a man was really worth it. Should she just do what her mother said?
She thought about Wang Liang's tall figure and handsome appearance, and felt that the officer who was approaching from afar was indeed a bit vulgar.
When Zhang Shuihua was struggling and hesitating, Wu Qiuju became anxious. Seeing that the little girl was hesitant and refused to leave, she quickly pinched her.
"Hurry up and go! If you don't go, do you want to marry that cripple and live a miserable life with him forever?"
When Zhang Shuihua heard what her mother said, she immediately threw away her previous hesitation and made up her mind.
Yes, her mother was right. Wang Liang had no future at all, and his legs were not so handy that he couldn't even do farm work. If she stayed with him, her life would be ruined.
She was considered the most beautiful girl in her village, how could she be buried here? She should be an officer's wife and live a good life in the city!
Zhang Shuihua didn't hesitate any longer. She wiped away the tears that flowed from her eyes as her mother pinched her hard, and ran towards the river.
Seeing that her money-loser was still obedient, Wu Qiuju heaved a sigh of relief and quickly followed the path beside her to the fields in the village to call on the villagers to "catch the adulterer"! She would see how the officer would argue.
She has decided on this son-in-law!
