"I……"
Zhao Lanxi couldn't speak. She had gone to have breakfast with Pei Hengzhi that morning. Yuanyuan hadn't woken up yet, and she didn't want to take Yuanyuan with her to Pei Hengzhi, otherwise she wouldn't even have a chance to talk to him.
However, Zhao Lanxi would never admit that she was wrong.
"Jiang Yue, what do you mean by that? Are you blaming me for going to Hengzhi?"
Jiang Yue was speechless at Zhao Lanxi's words. What did this have to do with Pei Hengzhi?
But Zhao Lanxi seemed convinced that she was right, and with red eyes, she accused Jiang Yue, "Jiang Yue, you're already married, why can't you live a good life with Battalion Commander Lu, and why do you have to keep clinging to my Hengzhi?"
"Smack!"
Jiang Yue raised her hand and slapped her.
The slap stunned Zhao Lanxi. She covered her face and looked at Jiang Yue in disbelief, "You dare to hit me?"
In the past, when Jiang Yue bullied her, she only dared to call on Yao Hua to scold her, and never dared to actually lay a hand on her.
"I hit you to save you. See, you're clear-headed now."
Jiang Yue shook her hand, which was still a little sore from the slap. "I've already told you, I don't like Pei Hengzhi anymore. What you just said was clearly an attempt to sow discord between me and our Battalion Commander Lu. One slap was too lenient. If I hear any more of your irrational words, I'll kill you."
"Jiang Yue, stop pretending. How could you not like Hengzhi? You're just using Battalion Commander Lu to annoy Hengzhi, but unfortunately, Hengzhi doesn't care at all."
He only loves me.
Zhao Lanxi didn't dare to fight back against Jiang Yue, fearing she couldn't defeat her. She could only try to provoke Jiang Yue by taking advantage of her past feelings for Pei Hengzhi, seemingly thinking that this would make Jiang Yue sad.
"Neuropathy."
Jiang Yue ignored her and turned to walk upstairs.
Instead of arguing with Zhao Lanxi here, she'd be better off doing some work in the fields.
Last night, Lu Jingnian told her not to go to the fields to work. He said that after he got off work today, he would call Political Commissar Yu, Jiang Zheng, and others to help, and they could clean up the fields in one night.
But Jiang Yue couldn't really do nothing. She washed the bowls and put them in the kitchen, then took the farm tools that Lu Jingnian had brought back yesterday and went to the fields.
The stones on the surface of the ground were all picked up last night. Jiang Yue took out the larger stones that were buried in the ground and threw them on the edge of the ground.
Jiang Yue worked until after 1 p.m. before finally clearing away all the large stones in the field, making it much easier for Lu Jingnian and the others to dig the ground in the afternoon.
After packing her things and returning home, Jiang Yue ate a simple lunch and then prepared to go to town to buy groceries.
If someone comes to help in the evening, I'll definitely have to invite them to dinner at my house.
When Jiang Yue finished tidying up the house and came out, she heard arguing upstairs. Then she saw Zhao Lanxi running downstairs. When she saw Jiang Yue standing at the door, she covered her face, which was red from being slapped by Jiang Yue, and glared at Jiang Yue angrily. "Jiang Yue, just you wait. If you don't let me have a good time, I won't let you have a good time either."
Jiang Yue: "..." What does this have to do with her?
Ignoring Zhao Lanxi, Jiang Yue locked the door and went downstairs.
Zhao Lanxi walked faster than Jiang Yue; she was on the way to the army.
Upon arriving at the gatehouse, Zhao Lanxi asked the guard on duty to call Pei Hengzhi, who arrived shortly afterward.
Zhao Lanxi burst into tears the moment she saw Pei Hengzhi.
"Lanxi, why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
What happened to your face?
Pei Hengzhi couldn't stand seeing Zhao Lanxi cry. Normally, seeing her cry would break his heart, but now, seeing Zhao Lanxi's face half red, clearly indicating that she had been beaten, Pei Hengzhi felt both heartache and anger.
"Don't cry. Tell me clearly, who hit you?"
Zhao Lanxi felt extremely wronged, and tears streamed down her face like rain, almost forming a continuous stream.
"Hengzhi, I think I'll stop coming to see you in the future. That way, Jiang Yue won't be angry, and I won't be put in a difficult position."
"Jiang Yue again?"
Pei Hengzhi's face instantly turned cold.
“She said before that she didn’t like me anymore and wouldn’t bother me or make things difficult for you. I thought she had really changed, but I didn’t expect that she was just acting. This time she even hit you directly. Don’t cry, I won’t let this go. You wait here, I’m going to find Lu Jingnian now.”
Zhao Lanxi quickly pulled Pei Hengzhi back, "What do you want with Battalion Commander Lu? This has nothing to do with him."
“How can it not be related? He is Jiang Yue’s husband now. If Jiang Yue does something wrong, he should take care of her. Lanxi, don’t worry, I will be back soon.”
After saying that, Pei Hengzhi let go of Zhao Lanxi's hand and turned to find Lu Jingnian.
...
Lu Jingnian, Political Commissar Yu, and Jiang Zheng were watching the soldiers train on the training field. Lu Jingnian had also trained for a while and had just returned, covered in mud. Just as he was about to speak to Jiang Zheng, he saw Pei Hengzhi walking towards them aggressively.
"Hengzhi, what brings you here?"
Jiang Zheng frowned and asked, looking at Pei Hengzhi's unfriendly expression.
"I'm looking for Lao Lu."
Pei Hengzhi reached out to pull Lu Jingnian, but Lu Jingnian dodged to the side, not even touching the hem of his clothes.
Lu Jingnian's expression was also unpleasant. This person came up and grabbed people without explaining the reason, making it difficult for him to have a good look. "Pei Hengzhi, just say what you want to say, don't lay a hand on me."
Pei Hengzhi pursed his lips, his expression even worse than Lu Jingnian's. "You want to explain yourself? Then come with me to find Jiang Yue and make her explain why she bullied Lanxi again."
Do you know that Jiang Yue actually slapped Lanxi so hard her face was swollen?
