Chapter 139 Truth 6-Are you going to join the army?
When Xia Qingliu returned to the room, she saw Lu Jingchen sitting there quietly with some anger on his face. She walked over to him and sat down. After hesitating for a moment, she still spoke:
"Thank you for what happened today."
She really didn't expect that Lu Jingchen would stand up for herself like this. It can be said that he was willing to sacrifice his own family for the greater good. In the past, she thought that he was deliberately biased towards Lu Lidong, so he refused to doubt them and blamed everything on the original body.
Now she knows that it was because Lu Lidong and others instigated the original body to do many "out-of-line" behaviors to him and deliberately let him misunderstand, that he was so sure that the original body took the initiative to climb into bed, and did not suspect that Lu Lidong and others had planned it in advance.
Now that he knows the truth, he has no intention of shielding Lu Lidong, which is enough to show that he is not too nervous, on the contrary, he has done a good job!
"No need to thank them, this matter is their fault, no matter who did the wrong thing, they should pay the price." Lu Jing said in a deep voice, and after a moment, he suddenly asked:
"I plan to separate from them, what do you think?"
The separation is to separate his and Lu Lidong's home. He can make the decision directly by himself and inform her, but now he comes to discuss with himself. Obviously, he has regarded her as "one family" with himself. Since they are a family, she naturally has the right to make decisions.
"I think it's very good." Xia Qingying blinked and said in agreement.
After the separation, they and Lu Lidong, Wang Mingfang and He Shanshan were two pure families. They no longer had to mix with each other, and they didn't even have to interact with each other. This was undoubtedly a very comfortable thing for Xia Qingli.
Lu Jingzhen could see that Xia Qingli really wanted to live separately from Wang Mingfang and the others, and this was the result he wanted, so he said in a deep voice:
"I'll pick it up when Dad comes back."
Xia Qingli nodded and said "OK."
Lu Jingzhen looked at the delicate little person beside him and knew that after the separation, if he left her here, she would be the only one left at home. On the one hand, it was not safe, and on the other hand, there was no guarantee that after the separation, Wang Mingfang and her son would not come to trouble her or bully her again.
After thinking about it, the best way is to take her to follow the army and let her be by his side, so that he can take care of her and protect her.
Lu Jingchen hesitated for a moment and said:
"My home leave will soon be over, and I will be back to the army soon."
"Oh." Xia Qingli responded. She was considering whether she should take the opportunity to mention to him about going to follow the army, when she heard Lu Jingchen ask herself in a deep voice:
"Are you willing to go to the army with me?"
After asking this question, Lu Jingchen was inexplicably nervous. In fact, the reasons mentioned above, such as being afraid that she was unsafe, afraid that she would be bullied, and wanting to take care of and protect her, were all secondary reasons. The most important reason was:
he wanted her to stay by his side and wanted to see her every day.
But Xia Qingxi has a job she likes and a social circle here. She may not be willing to give up everything here and go to a strange place.
Thinking of this, Lu Jingchen hurriedly added to her:
"Although the living conditions there are not as good as here in the North City, it is very safe. I will apply for a family compound when the time comes. It will be full of military dependents, as well as cousins. Everyone gets along well with each other and you can make new friends.
The army will also arrange jobs for some of the family members who accompany the troops. Although there are no textile jobs, I can buy you a sewing machine so you can make the clothes you like anytime."
After saying all this in one breath, Lu Jingchen realized that he might be too afraid that she would refuse, and his attitude was a little anxious. After hesitating for a while, he still felt that he should not put too much pressure on her and should respect her decision, so he said:
"You can think about it first. If you don't want to go..."
"I'll go." Before he finished, Xia Qingling made her attitude clear. She had originally planned to go with him to join the army, and now that he had brought it up, she naturally agreed, not wanting to be coy and pretend to refuse.
"I'm willing to go with you." Xia Qingling looked at Lu Jingchen and said seriously again.
When Xia Qingxi expressed her willingness to go, Lu Jingxie's dark eyes lit up for a moment. He was always calm and self-possessed, never showing his emotions, but at this moment, there was unconcealed joy in his eyes, and he replied:
"Okay, I'll apply when I get back to the army, and when the leader agrees and the house is allocated, you can come over." After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and asked:
"Do you want to live in a house with a yard, or in a building?"
Xia Qingxi didn't expect Lu Jingxie to start discussing what kind of house he should live in now. After thinking for a while, he said:
"One with a yard."
There are few buildings in this era. Compared with ordinary bungalows with yards, many people prefer western-style buildings. However, as a modern person, Xia Qingling prefers bungalows with yards. He can grow flowers and vegetables in the yard. Isn't it the comfortable rural life that many city people envy?
"Yeah, okay." Lu Jingchen nodded in response, with a look of longing in his eyes.
In stark contrast to the beautiful longing here, Wang Mingfang and her son in the next room are in a gloomy mood. Lu Lidong and He Shanshan are even more restless and anxious.
Lu Lidong's face was swollen and his head had grown bigger, looking no different from a pig's head. Wang Mingfang was wiping his wound with a towel. Lu Lidong was grimacing in pain and kept asking:
"Mom, what should I do now?" She continued worriedly: "Lao Er won't really let me go to jail, will he?"
"Yes, Mom, Lu will just be scared for a while, he won't really come to chase us away, will he?" He Shanshan also asked quickly.
Both of them looked at Wang Mingfang, waiting for her to make a decision and take countermeasures. Wang Mingfang curled her lips into a sneer, and said to her son with a rogue look:
"What are you afraid of? Even if the police station wants to arrest you, they have to produce evidence to convict you! As long as you refuse to admit it, what can they do to you? It's been four years since the incident, and I don't believe that Lu Jingzhen is so capable that he can find any evidence."
After saying this, Wang Mingfang suddenly increased the strength of his hands as a punishment.
"Ah! It hurts, it hurts..." Lu Lidong screamed in pain: "Mom, be gentler!"
"Now you feel the pain!" Wang Mingfang scolded her son angrily:
"You are the only one who can't keep your temper! Others haven't said anything yet, but you confessed everything. Let me make it clear to you, you can't admit to this in front of outsiders, even if you are beaten to death. They can't punish you without evidence!
When your dad comes back, you go find him right away, and don't say you were beaten, he has his own eyes and can see it all. Just say that Lu Jingchen seems to have some misunderstandings about what happened four years ago, and ask him to help mediate, saying that you care a lot about the relationship between brothers and don't want the family to be separated. "
"Dad, will he believe it?" Lu Lidong couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"Whether he believes it or not is another matter, you should go get a vaccination first, you can't let Lu Jingchen go first! Your dad will just be angry with you at most, which father doesn't love his son? You've been beaten like this, how else can he punish you?
And don't worry that Lu Jingchen will really go to the police station or something, I guess he was just angry for the moment and threatened you with words. Can he really ignore the relationship between you brothers for a little girl? Besides, if the matter gets out of hand, will the Lu family still have face? "
Wang Mingfang's words reassured Lu Lidong, and he decided to deny it when he met Lu Baichuan later. Lu was shocked that they had no evidence, and they couldn't do anything to him anyway.
