Jiang Manyue looked at the bed again, with some hesitation in her expression.
The bed is indeed quite big. Even if two people sleep in it and put a quilt in the middle, it won’t be crowded. Besides, Lu Lin’s character is trustworthy, and he will definitely not do anything that crosses the line.
Sleeping on the bed is definitely more comfortable than sleeping on the cold, hard ground. Jiang Manyue thought about it and agreed.
"Well, then you can sleep inside. But it's hot out here, and putting on a blanket will make it even hotter. Let's just sleep a little further apart, and leave out the blanket."
Jiang Manyue still trusted Lu Lin very much. Also, because the weather was really hot and there was not even a fan these days, it would be even hotter if there was a quilt between the two of them, so she simply gave up the idea of putting a quilt between them.
Lu Lin had no objection. He would definitely not do anything else anyway. Nothing would happen if they just slept in the same bed.
After Jiang Manyue tidied up the things on the table, she took out the pillow that Lu Lin had slept on last time from the cabinet, but did not put it on the bed.
"This pillow has been sitting here for a few days without drying. I didn't know you'd be back so soon, so I took it out to dry. If you want to rest, you can use my pillow first. Just change the pillowcase."
As she spoke, Jiang Manyue took out a new pillowcase from the cabinet and handed it to Lu Lin, telling him to change it when he wanted to use the pillow, and then she took the pillow and went out.
After she left, Li Guifen still worriedly asked, "Are you okay? Is A-Lin's wound serious? Is it scary?"
Jiang Manyue shook her head. "It's okay. It's almost healed. It doesn't look scary. It just needs stitches."
Li Guifen was finally relieved, but she started talking about killing the chickens at home to nourish Lu Lin.
Jiang Manyue stopped him. There were plenty of chickens in her space. There was no need to kill the chickens at home. They could still lay eggs.
"Mom, I'm going to the county tomorrow to see if there are any chickens or pigeons for sale. I'll buy some and make soup for Lu Lin. If not, pork bones are just as nutritious."
Li Guifen thought about it and put her busy mind on pause, continuing to sit under the eaves sewing clothes, and occasionally glancing into Lu Lin's room.
After drying the pillow in the sun, Jiang Manyue continued to sit down and read until it was almost time to cook dinner, then she got up and prepared to pick vegetables.
Just as she was about to go to the private plot, Lu Lin walked out of the room. Coincidentally, Lu Jun'an came back at this time, called out "Uncle" in surprise, and then ran into the house.
Jiang Hong and the others were there too. When they saw my uncle-in-law was at home, they came in to say hello before going home.
Jiang Manyue didn't care and went to pick vegetables from her private plot. When she came back, she saw Lu Qingyou coming out of the room and looking Lu Lin up and down.
After Jiang Manyue and Li Guifen finished cooking, the family was enjoying the cool air in the yard when Miao Xianghua suddenly came over.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Miao Xianghua gave her a reproachful look and said, "My son-in-law is home. Can I come and see him?"
Lu Lin was still a little uncomfortable seeing Miao Xianghua, but when he heard Li Guifen say at dinner that night that she and Miao Xianghua had a very good relationship during the summer harvest, he smiled at her and called her "Mom".
Miao Xianghua smiled kindly at Lu Lin, "Lu Lin, why are you back so soon? Didn't you just return to the army not long ago?"
Before Lu Lin could say anything, Li Guifen took over with a distressed look on her face, "Don't mention it, Man Yue's mother, you don't know, this kid was injured in the army, and there was no one to take care of him, so the leader allowed him to go home to recuperate. I was scared when he first came back, and I don't know what happened."
Miao Xianghua was also a little worried after hearing this. "Are you okay? Is the injury serious? Why don't you stay in the county hospital?"
Lu Lin shook his head. "It's okay. Just stay at home. Man Yue will change the medicine for me."
Miao Xianghua saw that his voice was strong and he looked steady, so he thought that he was probably fine, and he felt relieved.
Just now, several children came home and told her that they saw their uncle at Lu's house. She was shocked and thought something had happened. Lu Lin came home so quickly.
"Okay, as long as you're okay, I heard from Jiang Hong that he saw my uncle, so I came to see him. If you're okay, I'll go back first."
Miao Xianghua was about to leave after finding out everything. Li Guifen quickly winked at Lu Lin, indicating that he and Jiang Manyue should go together to see him off and perform well in front of his mother-in-law.
Lu Lin had no choice but to offer to send Miao Xianghua back, but Miao Xianghua refused.
"It's just a few steps for us villagers, why should we send them off? You are a wounded soldier, so just rest at home."
Miao Xianghua said this and glanced at Jiang Manyue. Jiang Manyue immediately understood and walked to her side.
"I'll just take my mom off. Lu Lin, just rest at home. It's okay."
The two of them quickly walked out of the Lu family's house. When they were some distance away from the Lu family, Miao Xianghua spoke.
"Man Yue, Mom is telling you that this time when Lu Lin is injured and comes home, it's a good time for you two to cultivate your relationship, do you know?"
Jiang Manyue now nodded to all of Miao Xianghua's persuasions and agreed to everything he said.
But this time Miao Xianghua didn't let her go easily. Instead, he pressed her, "Tell me the truth, are you and Lu Lin having a good time?"
Jiang Manyue was indeed a little embarrassed when she heard this question. She made a "tsk" sound, pretended to be embarrassed, and refused to answer the question.
Seeing that she was unwilling to answer, Miao Xianghua patted her again and said, "What else are you embarrassed to say to Mom? If you have it, then you have it. If you don't, then you don't!"
Jiang Manyue had no choice but to admit that she and Lu Lin were not getting along well after being questioned by her.
Miao Xianghua could actually guess what was going on. He sighed and continued, "It's true that our family forced you and Lu Lin to get married, but Mom also hoped that you two could develop feelings for each other. You're going to spend your whole life with him, so you can't keep it like this forever."
Jiang Manyue lowered her head and refused to say anything. It was impossible for her to confess her thoughts to Miao Xianghua, so she didn't know how to face Miao Xianghua's concern.
"You have to seize the opportunity, you know? Lu Lin is injured, you care about him more, ask him about his well-being, won't the relationship develop? Before he returns to the army, you two should get things done. If you can get pregnant, that would be the best."
Miao Xianghua pulled Jiang Manyue aside and talked for a long time, and Jiang Manyue had no choice but to nod, and finally dealt with Miao Xianghua.
"Okay, you can go back too. Mom can go home by herself."
Miao Xianghua left after she finished speaking. Jiang Manyue stood there alone, looking at her back and sighed silently.
After returning to the Lu family, as soon as Jiang Manyue saw Lu Lin, she thought of what Miao Xianghua said. She always felt uncomfortable and deliberately turned her head away from Lu Lin.
Lu Lin also noticed her abnormality. After they returned to the room together, he asked her tentatively while lying on the bed.
"What's wrong with you? You seem to be reluctant to see me when you get home. Did I do something wrong?"
