Lu Aiguo obviously does not have a high status in this family and is completely controlled by Pan Yuemei.
Although he is the village committee secretary, Ruan Suhe believes that it is very likely that some matters in the village are decided by Pan Yuemei.
However, these things in the village will soon have nothing to do with her. She plans to focus on communicating with Lu Zhengxiang. Even if she wants to divorce now, she will make new plans after escaping from this village.
"Are you really taking the three of us with you? I remember that only those with certain positions are allowed to have their family members accompany them."
After watching the two elders walk away, Ruan Suhe closed the door, lowered her head and approached Lu Zhengxiang to ask quietly, fearing that he was angry just now and used this excuse to evade the question.
According to the original owner's fragmentary memories, it seems that Lu Zhengxiang was asked by Pan Yuemei to take care of all the work in the family since he was a child. Even when Lu Zhengyu grew up, she never cared whether he had time to do his homework after school. The first thing she did when she got home was to force Lu Zhengxiang to fetch water and chop wood.
"I came back to recuperate this time because I led the team on a mission and made merit. The team rewarded me for my merit and gave me a promotion. Now I can bring my family with me."
After she closed the door, Lu Zhengxiang awkwardly reached out his hand to help her turn around and walk into the house, and briefly explained the ins and outs of being able to follow the army.
"Dad, it's Dad."
...
...
Ruoruo shouted crisply with a look of surprise when she saw the two people enter the room.
Lu Zhengxiang helped Ruan Suhe sit down on the bed, with a smile on his face, he responded to Ruoruo: "Yes, it's Daddy. Ruoruo is so good."
Tiedan felt that he was a man, and when he saw Lu Zhengxiang he wanted to get close to him, but he didn't have the courage.
"Tiedan has grown up too. You and Ruoruo are both good kids."
Lu Zhengxiang saw Tiedan's conflicted emotions, and naturally turned his gaze away and praised him earnestly.
In order to have a good chat with Lu Zhengxiang about following the army, Ruan Suhe wanted to speed up the process of getting the two children to put on their coats and wash themselves.
As a result, Tiedan ruthlessly refused. She was only responsible for Ruoruo's dressing and washing, while Tiedan clumsily put on her clothes by herself, and even refused Lu Zhengxiang's help.
With the help of Lu Zhengxiang who took the initiative to light the fire, Ruan Suhe successfully made a barely edible breakfast. When I say "just barely edible", of course she fried five poached eggs for the first time in history, and added pickled vegetable residue and chopped mushrooms to the porridge.
As they watched the two little kids eating with great interest, they simultaneously left the living room and returned to the bedroom to chat in detail.
"Ruan Suhe, the main reason I asked you to join the army is to cure your illness."
Ruan Suhe was completely stunned. She had never expected that Lu Zhengxiang knew that the original owner was ill, and her tone of voice was full of surprise.
"You...know that I'm sick?"
"Well, I knew it when I came back the first year. I also asked them to take you to the health center. Judging from the situation today, they probably thought it was troublesome and didn't take you."
Lu Zhengxiang looked very calm and nodded slightly.
"I know about the injuries on Tiedan and Ruoruo's bodies. I also know that you had no control over your thoughts and actions when you beat them. You don't have to feel so guilty."
"It's my family that has let you down. I will find a way to cure your illness."
After listening to his series of explanations, Ruan Suhe was convinced that he was not only responsible but also loyal and righteous, and she unconsciously softened her initially cold attitude.
This kind of man can be classified as a "three-good man" in 2024, and maybe the divorce issue can be put on hold for the time being.
"I know this marriage was a forced sale. After joining the army, I want to cure your illness in Xianjing City. If you want a divorce, I will take the initiative to submit a divorce application to my superiors."
Before she could say anything, Lu Zhengxiang revealed his plan in its entirety without hiding anything.
She looked at Lu Zhengxiang's bright eyes staring at her, and her heart beat faster involuntarily.
"Ahem, I think my illness is actually not serious. It's just that the source of the disease is here. If I follow the army, I will probably not get sick."
Ruan Suhe was worried that if she went to Beijing for a check-up, no illness would be found, and the fact that she abused her own children would be confirmed. In that case, the fact that the original owner was a vicious mother would be directly confirmed without any room for maneuver.
"Was it after the day when mom rushed to take Tiedan away?"
Lu Zhengxiang was also a smart man and he immediately thought of that incident.
She neither admitted nor denied it, but answered with silence.
"knew."
"Dad, Dad, I want to ride a big horse."
The two were about to say something when Ruoruo ran in with small steps, grabbed the corner of Lu Zhengxiang's clothes and shook him.
Ruan Suhe took the initiative to pause the conversation, turned around and smiled at Ruoruo's expectant eyes.
"Come on, come on, Ruoruo."
As he spoke, he picked up Ruoruo's small body and placed it around Lu Zhengxiang's neck.
Lu Zhengxiang did not show any resistance. Tenderness instantly crept onto his face, and he took Ruoruo to play in the yard.
She looked at the tender affection between the father and daughter and felt a little envious.
He sighed, knowing that he didn't know how long it would take for his two children to no longer be afraid of him or resist his touch.
In fact, Ruan Suhe is now conflicted. She is considering whether to divorce directly and rely on her own abilities in 2024 to create a career of her own, or to stay with Lu Zhengxiang and be a good wife and a good mother of two children.
However, it is still too early to make plans now. The most immediate thing to be solved is to discuss the departure date with the army and pack the necessities to be carried in advance.
She made the bed, folded the quilt, and lifted the curtain, and saw Tiedan sitting obediently on a small bench in the corner of the yard, staring eagerly at Lu Zhengxiang and Ruoruo playing horse riding in the middle of the yard.
I couldn't help but feel distressed. He was only a few years old, but was forced by the original owner's illness to become a little adult.
Lu Zhengxiang noticed the curtain she lifted, and followed her line of sight, only to see Tiedan who had been silent the whole time.
He communicated with Ruoruo, and Ruoruo agreed that she could take a rest for a while and let her brother ride the big horse instead.
"Brother, riding a big horse is fun."
As soon as Ruoruo got down from Lu Zhengxiang's neck, she ran over and pulled up Tiedan who was sitting on the bench, inviting him to play too.
Suddenly, there was a click outside the door.
Lu Zhengxiang was very alert and immediately made a gesture to keep quiet. After the three people, one big and two small, reacted, they quietly covered their mouths.
He walked quietly to the wall at the corner and jumped over it.
This action left Ruan Suhe and the two little kids dumbfounded. With this skill, he probably didn't even need to knock on the door when he got home last night, she muttered quietly in her heart.
Not long after, Lu Zhengxiang jumped back over the wall, probably to avoid alerting the enemy.
"What's going on?"
Seeing that he looked serious, Ruan Suhe quickly took two steps forward and asked.
"When I went out, the person had already run far away. I only saw his back from a distance. He looked a bit like Zheng Yu."
"I think Zhengyu and mother-in-law are planning to take over Tiedan. We should be careful these two days. No one knows what bad ideas they have in mind."
Ruan Suhe's eyes darkened, filled with unknown disgust.
"It seems that we have to move up our schedule to the family compound."
Lu Zhengxiang certainly knew the meaning of her words. He nodded silently and spoke in a low voice.
"Okay, tell me what necessities you need to bring, and I'll pack them out as soon as possible."
Ruan Suhe agreed with his decision and immediately thought about helping him pack up.
Lu Zhengxiang nodded, went back to the house to find a pen and paper, and wrote down some necessities that needed to be brought. Then the two of them went into the house together to pack.
Tiedan and Ruoruo were playing by themselves in the yard. With just a few toys, the two little kids were having a lot of fun.
For a moment, the family of four was busy with their own things, and no one noticed that the latch on the big wooden door was quietly opened by a long knife handle.
"Uncle..."
Before Ruoruo could even finish her words, she was knocked unconscious by a knife.
