"I'll go back and burn it myself, so I won't bother you making this trip! You stay at home, I'm leaving!" After saying that, Li Hongying picked up the basket and left, so fast that it seemed as if there was a ghost chasing her.
"No trouble!" Jiang Yue followed him, "I'm not afraid of running!"
Li Hongying was just trying to please Jiang Yue. Of course she couldn't really eat the stinky meat and rotten vegetable leaves. It was so disgusting!
Since she couldn't fool Jiang Yue today, she planned to throw it away on the way, but now Jiang Yue insisted on going home with her, how could she do that!
"Jiang Yue, don't you still need to cook? Let's do it next time, next time you come to my house!" Li Hongying reached out to open the door and pushed Jiang Yue inside.
"Don't do it next time! Besides, didn't you say you bought me some vegetables? Since the meat and vegetables are for you to eat, my vegetables should have been left at your house, so I'll just go and get them back!" Jiang Yue opened the door and locked it. Her house was in a remote area and no one usually came here.
Jiang Yue was not worried about things being stolen at home. People of this era were mostly simple and honest. After all, people as mean and cunning as Li Hongying were a minority.
Seeing Jiang Yue chasing her so closely, Li Hongying became so anxious that sweat started to form on her forehead.
No, she must not let Jiang Yue go to her house. She must not let Jiang Yue see the shoulder meat and fresh vegetables she bought this morning!
So the next second, Li Hongying ran away.
She had to rush home before Jiang Yue to hide all the meat and vegetables!
Li Hongying thought she was running fast enough. She could hear her heart beating so wildly that it was about to jump out of her mouth.
She told herself to hurry up! Hurry up! Then Jiang Yue wouldn't take away her pork!
But Li Hongying always felt that she heard two footsteps.
Just as she turned the corner, Li Hongying suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure following closely beside her, almost running close to her back. Li Hongying was so frightened that she almost lost her soul and sat down on the ground.
“Ghost!”
"Ghost? Where is the ghost?" Jiang Yue looked around quickly. She herself was an existence that could not be explained by materialism, so she was very superstitious now. However, even if there were ghosts in broad daylight, they probably wouldn't dare to come out!
"Jiang Yue, why are you here? Why did you follow me?" Li Hongying then realized that the person following her was Jiang Yue, and her face turned pale.
"Yes, it's me! Aren't I going to your house to get some food? I see you're running so fast, so I have to catch up quickly." Jiang Yue bared his teeth, smiling harmlessly, "Any problem?"
Jiang Yue had been paying attention to Li Hongying just now. Seeing that she was gathering strength in her limbs and was obviously preparing to run away, she immediately followed her.
She insisted on going to Li Hongying's house today!
"Are you still running?" Jiang Yue saw Li Hongying slumped on the ground and gasping for breath. She easily did two leg stretches. "I was on the long-distance running team when I was in school. I can run three kilometers without even taking a breath, let alone five kilometers!"
Hearing Jiang Yue's words, Li Hongying's face turned green.
When Lian Rongrong saw Li Hongying going to Jiang Yue's house, she kept paying attention to her and was absent-minded even when cooking. She would stick her head out to take a look every once in a while, and suddenly she saw two people running over.
She took a look and saw that they were Jiang Yue and Li Hongying.
There was something interesting to watch, so excited that Lian Rongrong didn't even have time to put down the spatula before following him.
"Hey, are you two running a race in the morning?" Lian Rongrong was running out of breath, and she was able to catch up with Jiang Yue and Li Hongying only when they stopped.
In addition to Lian Rongrong, there were other people watching the fun, and they all gathered around, "What happened?"
Jiang Yue hoped that there would be as many people as possible.
"It's like this, Li Hongying just came to my house to cook for me—" Jiang Yue saw that the military families around him showed either tacit understanding or contemptuous expressions, but he didn't get angry, but continued: "I casually asked her what vegetables she brought me, and guess what I found in her basket?"
"What did you find?" Lian Rongrong asked in a supportive manner.
"A piece of rotten meat! And a bunch of vegetables with leaves so rotten that you can't tell what they are!" Jiang Yue spoke clearly in standard Mandarin. More and more people came out of their homes to watch the fun.
Not everyone in the family compound knew about the dirty deeds Li Hongying had done, and someone immediately asked what happened.
"You're talking nonsense! Jiang Yue, you're slandering me!" Li Hongying jumped up from the ground and angrily accused Jiang Yue.
"Jiang Yue, are you slandering me? Why don't you just take out the vegetables in your basket and let everyone see them?" Lian Rongrong said.
A military wife said, "Yes! Let's see if there is rotten meat in your basket! If not, won't it clear the injustice?"
"What's in my basket is none of your business!" Li Hongying couldn't bear to let anyone see her basket, so she hugged the basket to her chest and protected it tightly.
"Of course it's our business!" Lian Rongrong took the lead, and seven or eight military wives rushed forward to grab the vegetable basket. As soon as they pulled off the covering cloth, someone started to retch.
"Oh, why does it stink so bad!"
"Jiang Yue didn't lie, it really is stinky meat!"
"I remember that Captain Gu paid Li Hongying to cook for him. Li Hongying is so mean. She actually fed people stinky meat?"
Jiang Yue said with a smile: "My dear sisters-in-law, you have misunderstood Li Hongying!"
"Misunderstanding?" The wives were stunned when they heard this. "The rotten meat was in her basket, how could it be a misunderstanding?"
Lian Rongrong looked at Jiang Yue's heartless smile and thought that Jiang Yue was really stupid. Li Hongying had been caught and she was still speaking up for her!
