"I'll be leaving in a couple of days after I start work. What's wrong? Is your family short of money?"
Lu Zhubao was used to it; every time she opened her mouth, she would ask for money. The old lady realized she had misunderstood, and even the man was getting a little anxious when he saw her angry.
"No, no, we have money at home, and Zhu Zi earns enough to live on. It's just that you and Zhu Zi are not young anymore, and it's time to have a child."
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Lü Baozhu got angry and stood up without even eating.
"Didn't you promise me back then that you would support my career and that I wouldn't have to have children?"
Lu Baozhu wondered, if she had a child, would the child be poor with her for the rest of her life?
She knew that she had sacrificed her family to get all of this, including the enviable job at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"I'm not saying you have to have the baby now. I'll wait until you're less busy and then I'll help you take care of it."
"No need, I won't have children."
Lu Zhubao refused very firmly, and she didn't know what to do.
Let alone having children, Zhu Zi decided not to force his wife to have any more children, seeing that she was angry.
After comforting the old lady, she went inside. Lü Baozhu didn't want to talk to men and went to bed early.
The man didn't know why, ever since Lu Zhubao said two years ago that she was going to Kyoto to find a job, he had been acting strangely.
Once I find a job, I won't come back for a long time, even if I do come back.
Each time it only lasted two or three days, and Zhu Zi wasn't allowed to go see her. Zhu Zi tolerated it because she was his wife.
When Lu Baozhu went to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday, he smelled the scent on his body.
Thinking that she never wanted to go back to that rural area again, she knew that things would be exposed sooner or later, and she had to find a way to completely separate from Zhu Zi.
When she heard someone calling for her outside as she was leaving get off work in the afternoon, Lu Baozhu was so startled that she jumped up from her chair. She knew it was her husband who had come.
Lu Zhubao thought it was Zhuzi coming to find her, so she left quickly, much to everyone's surprise.
Nobody understands, so why the rush? Wait until everyone reaches the door.
She saw a man in a suit and tie. Upon seeing him, Lü Zhubao quickly put on a smile, composed herself, and walked over.
What brings you here?
"I've come to take you home."
Hearing him say he would take her home, Lü Baozhu smiled brightly, and at the same time, she made up her mind.
The man before her was her true love; as for that pillar and his family, they would only be a burden to her.
Seeing Lü Zhubao behaving intimately with this man, Ye Zhaozhao was a little confused.
As someone who's been through it all, there are some habits that a couple can't hide.
Especially her eyes; the way the person who came to pick her up looked at Lü Baozhu was clearly the same way he looked at his wife.
So what's the deal with this man who's with Lü Baozhu?
She asked Monsali, who was beside her, because she knew the most about things in the office.
"Is that Lu Baozhu's man?"
"Yes, I heard they've been married for two years."
Meng Shali didn't know why Ye Zhaozhao would ask that question, so she told her everything she knew.
Lu Zhubao often flaunts her man in the office.
However, Ye Zhaozhao didn't pay attention to these things, so naturally she didn't hear them.
Ye Zhaozhao had some doubts in her heart, wondering if it was as she thought.
When she returned to the family compound, she saw that Bian Zhaoyue and Lu Shiyun were each carrying a bucket.
The bucket was filled with fish. Upon seeing her, Lu Shiyun immediately put down the bucket and said breathlessly.
"Great, senior sister, it's great to run into you here. It saves me the trouble of making a trip."
Ye Zhaozhao then realized that it was because she had made grilled fish last time, and the children had eaten it.
I've been craving this, and now there's a river in the family compound where the military wives wash their clothes in the summer.
Now that it's frozen over in winter, people break holes in the ice to catch fish. Today, the two of them caught quite a few fish, and Lu Shiyun warmly invited them to join her.
"Senior sister, let's go together next time you have time."
"good."
Ye Zhaozhao was quite interested when she first met Lu Shiyun, so the two of them decided to go to Lu Shiyun's house to cook fish, but they would have to trouble her.
Ye Zhaozhao agreed, but then thought that the two of them had caught quite a few fish.
She didn't intend to eat rice for free; instead, she took some bean curd sheets, lotus root slices, bean sprouts, and mushrooms from somewhere.
These dishes will taste especially good when grilled with the fish. When Ye Zhaozhao arrived with the dishes, Bian Zhaoyue and Lu Shiyun were already busy preparing them.
Seeing that she was carrying things, Bian Zhaoyue and Lu Shiyun kept saying that she was too polite.
To Ye Zhaozhao's surprise, Lu Shiyun's family actually built a barbecue oven.
She had originally planned to set one up temporarily, but now it seems she doesn't need to.
When this was mentioned, Lu Shiyun was a little embarrassed. She built the oven because she was craving something sweet.
I just didn't expect that her skills weren't up to par; the oven is already gathering dust in the yard.
Fortunately, Ye Zhaozhao came, and she even brought some seasonings.
The three of them decided to grill all the fish for the day and invite the men and children over to eat together later.
Ye Zhaozhao put the grilled fish into the oven and said something to them.
We could also roast sweet potatoes and other things, so the two of them quickly grabbed some things and put them in.
The sweet potatoes were roasted quickly, and Lu Shiyun had never seen such fragrant roasted sweet potatoes before.
She couldn't resist and took one to eat right away. Bian Zhaoyue and Ye Zhaozhao also took one to eat, and the three of them ate roasted sweet potatoes in the yard.
The three were enjoying their meal when suddenly two women walked in, arm in arm.
Upon seeing the two people, Bian Zhaoyue immediately invited them to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
The older one, upon hearing that there were free roasted sweet potatoes, ran over without waiting for her.
The young woman walked over slowly, watching the three of them eat roasted sweet potatoes in such a rustic way.
