Jiang Yue got dressed and got out of bed. She couldn't help but scold Lu Jingnian again. She was supposed to go buy him clothes today, but her legs were trembling. How was she supposed to go?
After quickly washing up in the bathroom, Jiang Yue went to the second bedroom to find Lu Jingnian's clothes.
Lu Jingnian knew that Jiang Yue didn't like him and definitely didn't want to live with him, so he gave the master bedroom to Jiang Yue and packed all his things into the second bedroom.
Jiang Yue hadn't been to the second bedroom yesterday; this was her first time. It was very clean, with a green military blanket on the bed, neatly arranged like a tofu block.
There wasn't a single wrinkle on the bed sheet.
The second bedroom has a bookshelf filled with Lu Jingnian's books. Next to the bookshelf is a small wardrobe with only one door, which contains Lu Jingnian's clothes.
Aside from the military uniforms and training clothes issued by the army, Lu Jingnian had very few clothes. He only had one set of clothes for each season of the year, and they were all faded from washing.
This man is really stingy with himself.
Jiang Yue took out a set of clothes, measured the size, and went to the convenience store without even eating.
The convenience store has a phone that you can use to make calls outside, but you have to pay.
Jiang Yue is currently going back to the city to buy clothes for Lu Jingnian. It would be too time-consuming to go back and forth, and her legs are sore that she doesn't want to walk such a long distance.
She planned to call Yao Hua and ask her to buy Lu Jingnian some clothes and send them over. Yesterday, when Jiang Yue was shopping at the department store, she had taken a liking to two men's outfits and told Yao Hua that Lu Jingnian would definitely look good in them.
Lu Jing was tall with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, making him a walking clothes rack.
When she arrived at the convenience store, Aunt Zhang was overjoyed to see her again.
"Yueyue, what are we buying today?"
Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not buying anything, I'm just making a phone call."
"Making a phone call?" Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "The phone is over there, go on."
Jiang Yue thanked her, walked over and picked up the phone. She dialed her own number first. Yao Hua was currently unemployed. Jiang Yue had spoken to her yesterday and asked her to finish making the fabric she had bought.
Yao Hua's family doesn't have a sewing machine, but Jiang Yue's family does. Yao Hua should be at Jiang Yue's house at this time.
The call was quickly connected, and it was Yao Hua who answered. Jiang Yue recognized her voice immediately.
"Yao Hua is my Jiang Yue."
"Yueyue?"
On the other end of the phone, Yao Hua was overjoyed to hear Jiang Yue's voice.
"Did you call to see Grandma?" Yao Hua asked. At this time, only Grandma Jiang was at the Jiang family home besides the nanny.
"No, I'm looking for you."
Jiang Yue said, "I need your help with something. Do you remember the two men's outfits I liked at the department store yesterday? I'll tell you their sizes. Could you buy me one of them and bring it to me?"
"no problem."
Yao Hua agreed without hesitation. She never refused to do anything Jiang Yue asked her to do.
"Thank you, Yao Hua."
Jiang Yue told Yao Hua the dimensions and also asked Yao Hua to bring back a freshly killed chicken for her.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yue paid Zhang's wife. Seeing two packs of calcium milk biscuits on the counter, and thinking that Lu Jingnian had gotten off work so late yesterday, Jiang Yue was worried that he would be hungry after not eating for so long, so she bought a pack of calcium milk biscuits to take home.
Ask Lu Jingnian to take the biscuits to his office. If he gets hungry after get off work, he can eat some biscuits to tide him over.
Jiang Yue hadn't even reached the apartment building when she heard a commotion from afar on her way back from the convenience store.
Jiang Yue seemed to hear Lu Jingnian's name as well, and frowned before quickly running over.
In front of the family dormitory building.
A middle-aged couple, dressed in patched clothes, were sitting at the entrance of the stairwell, slapping their legs and cursing loudly.
"Lu Jingnian, that ungrateful wretch! We raised him, and he didn't even tell us he was getting married, not even a wedding candy for us! We're his uncle and aunt!"
The woman's shrill voice was so sharp it hurt your eardrums.
“I am Lu Jingnian’s uncle. My older brother and sister-in-law passed away early, and my wife and I raised him from infancy. We always gave him the best of everything.”
His poor younger brother was so hungry he was skin and bones. His aunt and I couldn't even afford to buy him a decent piece of clothing, all in the hope that he would amount to something. Now he's successful, a high-ranking officer in the army, and he's abandoned his aunt and me!
"Now that his aunt is sick, he doesn't care at all!"
An old man sat at the door, and the sound of him crying was like his heart was breaking.
It's heartbreaking to hear about them.
Not everyone knows about Lu Jingnian's childhood abuse. Some military family members who were unaware of the truth couldn't help but sympathize with the two men when they saw this scene, and they all stepped forward to help them up.
"Brother and sister, please don't cry. Someone has already gone to call Battalion Commander Lu. We can talk things over when he returns."
"Yes, is there some misunderstanding here? Although Battalion Commander Lu may seem a bit fierce, he is actually a very good person."
Lu Jingnian usually appears cold and aloof, but he is actually a very kind person. Whenever someone asks him for help, he will help them without hesitation.
Seeing that everyone believed in him, Lu Jingnian's uncle, Lu Dajiang, instantly felt reassured. He cried without shedding a tear and said to the crowd who came forward to help him, "Thank you all for believing in my wife and me."
We didn't want to cause trouble or bother Jingnian. After all, it hasn't been easy for him to work hard all these years. We're both from the countryside and don't have any special skills to help him.
