If Wu Lifang had not reacted quickly and covered her cheeks with her hands, her face would have been swollen like a pig's head. So after returning from the health center, she covered it up, fearing that her roommates would see her hands that were swollen like a carrot.
Seeing Wu Lifang's expression was not right, Xu Zhenhua was afraid that she would lose her temper, so he hurriedly explained: "Lifang, I know my mother hit you and you are very angry, but they took such a long train ride to get here, I can't just send them back immediately.
If this gets out, what kind of person will I be? Besides, tomorrow is our wedding day. Let them have a glass of wedding wine before leaving. That way, even if others know, they won’t be able to find fault. What do you think? "
Although Wu Lifang was still very angry, she also knew that what Xu Zhenhua said was true.
Besides, it was just a one-day postponement, so she could just bear with it. But she couldn't let this little thing affect Zhenhua.
"I'll do whatever you say," Wu Lifang said coquettishly. "Zhenhua, you know I really like you, but your mother is really too much. Look at my hands, they're swollen like carrots."
Looking at Wu Lifang's red and swollen hands, Xu Zhenhua felt less guilty towards his parents.
Mom is such a jerk. Lifang is his wife after all. How could he be so cruel? Fortunately, he hit her on the hand. If he had hit her on the face, how would they get married tomorrow?
Xu Zhenhua held Wu Lifang's hand distressedly and blew on it gently. "Lifang, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. Please don't bother with her."
"For your sake, I won't bother with her." Wu Lifang's tone suddenly became serious. "But after the wedding tomorrow, you must send them away."
Xu Zhenhua raised the corner of his mouth, "Well, my beautiful bride, go back and rest, and wait for me to pick you up tomorrow."
Wu Lifang smiled shyly, then covered her face and ran back to the dormitory.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day.
When Tang Wanning woke up, Su Meijuan had already bought breakfast.
"Mom, why are you up so early?"
Su Meijuan suppressed her inner worries and forced a smile, "I'm getting older and I get less sleep."
In fact, it wasn't that she had less sleep, she was just worried. She didn't sleep well the whole night because of worry. Although Su Meijuan promised to be so confident when she was at home, she was just pretending after all.
Tang Wanning probably guessed what her mother was thinking, but it was useless for her to comfort her in this kind of situation. After all, she had not witnessed the development of the situation with her own eyes.
Just like when people teach people, it is useless to teach them a hundred times, but when things teach people, they will remember it in one go.
After washing up and having breakfast, it was just 7:30 in the morning. The mother and daughter packed up simply and set off for the small square at the entrance of the family compound.
"Mom, when we get here, remember to follow my instructions."
Su Meijuan clenched her fists and nodded heavily, "Okay."
Small square.
When the mother and daughter arrived, there were already quite a few military wives with their children playing in the small square. They were gathering in groups of three or four to chat, while the children were playing and fighting happily.
There are also some old men playing chess, sometimes concentrating on the game, and sometimes arguing with red faces.
Tang Wanning observed for a while before walking towards a woman who was talking non-stop. The woman was in her early forties, and there was another woman in her thirties sitting next to her.
Tang Wanning smiled harmlessly and looked at the woman in her early forties. "Sister, I'd like to ask if there's a soldier named Xu Zhenhua in our military district."
Hearing a little girl calling her sister, Jiang Hongmei smiled happily, "You are so sweet, but I am 40 years old this year, you should call me auntie."
Tang Wanning looked surprised, with an expression that said, "You're not lying to me, are you?" "I really can't tell. I thought you were only thirty this year."
Jiang Hongmei's smile turned more sincere when she heard this. "Little girl, you look unfamiliar to me. Are you from our family compound?"
"Yes, I'm here to look for someone." Tang Wanning's mood instantly became depressed. "Sister, I want to ask you, is there anyone named Xu Zhenhua in our military region?"
Jiang Hongmei was a well-known gossip in the family compound. In addition, when Xu Zhenhua came back from a mission, her husband said that he might be promoted to deputy battalion commander, so she decided to find a match for him.
Not long after Jiang Hongmei brought her niece from her mother's side, Wu Lifang also launched an offensive against Xu Zhenhua.
Jiang Hongmei didn't want her niece to miss this potential stock, and her niece also had a good impression of Xu Zhenhua, so a fight between the two began.
Although Jiang Hongmei and her niece tried their best, Xu Zhenhua was finally captured by Wu Lifang.
Although Jiang Hongmei knew that Xu Zhenhua was not to blame, she still felt uncomfortable.
Especially Wu Lifang. If she hadn't jumped out in the middle, it might be her niece who would be marrying Xu Zhenhua today.
Although Jiang Hongmei disliked Wu Lifang, out of caution, she did not directly answer Tang Wanning's question. Instead, she asked curiously, "Little girl, what's your name?"
"My name is Tang Wanning."
"So your name is Tang Wanning. What a nice name." Jiang Hongmei smiled gently. "I wonder who you are to Xu Zhenhua?"
Not only Jiang Hongmei wanted to test Tang Wanning, but Tang Wanning did the same.
Although the military district is very large and the possibility of Jiang Hongmei and Wu Lifang becoming friends is very small, it is better to be safe than sorry. In short, it is better to be cautious.
Tang Wanning's eyes welled up, and her voice choked with sobs. "I'm Xu Zhenhua's sister, from the same village. Everyone in the village says he died while on a mission, but I don't believe it. I want to come to the army and ask about it myself."
When Jiang Hongmei heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.
A sister from the same village?
I’m afraid she’s my beloved sister?
If she wasn't his beloved sister, why would Xu Zhenhua hide the fact that he was still alive?
Seeing the sad look on the little girl's face, Jiang Hongmei wouldn't believe it if someone said there was nothing between them before.
Now it's time to watch something interesting.
"Hey, didn't Comrade Xu call back to the village?" Jiang Hongmei looked puzzled. "He returned to the army half a year ago. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be promoted to deputy battalion commander soon."
Although the excitement in Jiang Hongmei's eyes flashed away, Tang Wanning still saw it. It seemed that there was a conflict between them.
After hearing Jiang Hongmei's words, Tang Wanning's eyes filled with tears. "Sister, are you telling the truth? Are you lying to me?"
Jiang Hongmei frowned and pretended to be unhappy. "I'm a military wife. Would I lie?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Tang Wanning couldn't hold back any longer, tears streaming down her face. "I didn't mean to do that. I was just too excited when I heard the news."
"It's okay, it's okay. I understand."
Seeing Tang Wanning's sad look, Jiang Hongmei couldn't bear to tell her that Xu Zhenhua was getting married today.
Although she really wanted to humiliate Wu Lifang, the little girl was innocent.
