Chapter 34 The troublemaker is here
The next day, Lu Tingxiao officially went to work and his life returned to normal. Jiang Ruoxi also began her official military life.
When Jiang Ruoxi first started living in the military district’s family compound, she was filled with curiosity and nervousness. That day, after Lu Tingxiao went to work, she was cleaning up at home when she heard a knock on the door. Jiang Ruoxi put down her work and went to open the door. She saw a young girl standing at the door. Jiang Ruoxi asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for?"
"Are you brother Tingxiao's fiancée?" the girl asked instead of answering.
"Not a fiancée, but a wife!" Jiang Ruoxi corrected. If she still didn't sense that this girl had bad intentions at this moment, then she would be a fool.
"You don't look that good, do you? I really don't know what Brother Tingxiao sees in you?" the girl said disdainfully.
Hearing this, Jiang Ruoxi almost laughed out of anger: "What's wrong with me? Don't I look good? How can I make you look like a human being? Is your brother going to lay eggs? Do I know you? You look like a good girl, why don't you do anything? Don't you know that Lu Tingxiao and I are married? Our marriage is a military marriage, and we are protected by the army. What's the matter? When your mother gave birth to you, she left your brain in her stomach? Or did she put the placenta in your head as a brain? Why do you look like a human being, but you don't do anything? What's the matter? There are no other men on this earth except me, right? If my man doesn't want you, you can't get married, right?"
Jiang Ruoxi's little mouth kept on talking, and the girl opposite was immediately blocked from saying anything. It took her a while to react: "My name is Zhou Liqing, and my father is the political commissar. How can you talk like that? You have no manners!"
"I have no manners? Manners are for people with manners. You have no shame, so what manners do I need? What's the matter? Have you never been to school? Don't you know that you can't interfere with other people's marriages? Even if you have no manners and have never been to school, you have seen pigs run even if you haven't eaten pork. It is illegal to destroy military marriages. What's the matter? You can't live without interfering in other people's marriages, right? Do your parents know that you do these things? Aren't you afraid that their future will be affected? If your parents' future is affected because of you, your parents will really thank you!"
The military wife next door heard the noise at the door and went out to see what was happening. She saw that it was Zhou Liqing, the daughter of Political Commissar Zhou. Everyone in the family compound knew that Political Commissar Zhou's daughter liked Captain Lu and kept pestering him. In order to avoid her, Captain Lu had to carry out several missions. This matter caused a lot of controversy in the family compound some time ago.
The military wife was afraid that something might happen, so she hurried to the barracks. On the way, she met other military wives who were returning from buying groceries and asked her where she was going in such a hurry. She briefly told them that Zhou Liqing was looking for Captain Lu’s wife and was making a fuss at her doorstep. After that, she hurried to the barracks to find Captain Lu and Political Commissar Zhou.
Seeing that the military wife had left, the other military wives smelled gossip, so they quickly sent the purchased vegetables home and went straight to Captain Lu’s house. When they arrived, Zhou Liqing was still arguing with Captain Lu's wife!
"Why am I shameless? Is it wrong for me to like Brother Tingxiao? Besides, Brother Tingxiao married you, but does he love you? This is a new era. It's a rubbish for you to force Brother Tingxiao to marry you!"
"Zhou Liqing, do you have some misunderstanding about the dregs? The dregs are often used to refer to the parts of things that are crude, worthless, harmful or do not meet the requirements of the times. For example, cultural dregs refer to some backward, decadent, superstitious concepts and customs in traditional culture, like some regulations in feudal ethics that overly restrict human nature. Do you think that forcing others to like you is not backward? Or that you are not backward if you interfere in other people's marriages?" Jiang Ruoxi questioned Zhou Liqing with disdain.
"Anyway, Brother Tingxiao doesn't like you, and your marriage is not blessed. My father is a political commissar, and you are just a first-level orphan. What can you bring to Brother Tingxiao?"
The wives of the soldiers watching around were talking about it: "It turns out that Captain Lu's wife is an orphan. No wonder Zhou Liqing dared to come to her house!"
"Haha, you've investigated me a lot, haven't you? But has anyone told you that I've found my family and that I'm not an orphan? Even if I am an orphan, why do you think you can make me divorce Lu Tingxiao? Do you think military marriages are something you can get married and divorced whenever you want? Do you think the military is run by your family?" Jiang Ruoxi replied bluntly.
"Even if you find your family, your family is just poor people. How can you help Brother Tingxiao in his future promotion?"
Jiang Ruoxi was about to reply when she heard a familiar voice coming from outside the crowd: "Comrade Zhou Liqing, how come I didn't know that you could help me with my future promotion? How come I didn't know that you have the final say in my military marriage, whether it's marriage or divorce?"
Zhou Liqing heard the voice and saw Lu Tingxiao walking out of the crowd, followed by her father: "No, Brother Tingxiao..."
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Lu Tingxiao: "Excuse me, Comrade Zhou Liqing, please don't call me Brother Tingxiao, please call me Captain Lu. I feel sick when you call me brother. Besides, I don't have a sister!"
"No, Ting... Captain Lu, how can you say that to me? I'm doing this for your own good!"
"What do you mean by 'for my own good'? The only people in this world who can do good for me are my wife and my family. You and I are not familiar with each other and we have no relationship. Why should you do good for me?" Lu Tingxiao replied expressionlessly.
"Captain Lu, how can you say that? Did someone tell you something?"
Jiang Ruoxi suddenly fanned her nose with her hands: "Hey... why does it smell like green tea? Brother Tingxiao, did you make green tea?"
Hearing this, Lu Tingxiao tried hard to hold back his laughter and cooperated with Jiang Ruoxi: "Wife, I didn't make green tea. The weather is not hot now. Drinking green tea is harmful to the body. I drink black tea now, and I only drink the black tea that you make!"
Jiang Ruoxi heard that Lu Tingxiao was full of desire to survive, so she smiled and replied, "That's right, green tea is too cold, it's not suitable to drink now! Comrade Zhou, you've also seen that Brother Tingxiao only likes to drink the tea I make, you're not his type!"
Just as Zhou Liqing was about to retort, she heard her father's voice: "Zhou Liqing, come here!"
"dad……"
"You don't feel ashamed, but I do. Captain Lu is already married, and Comrade Jiang is a good comrade who has been politically reviewed by the organization. Moreover, Captain Lu and Comrade Jiang are also approved by their parents. How come you say that Comrade Jiang forced Captain Lu to get married? You don't work hard every day, but just mess around. If you continue like this, I will talk to your captain and ask you to suspend your post and write a self-reflection!"
"Dad...why don't you understand me? Is it wrong for me to like someone?"
"Why don't I understand you? It's okay for you to like someone, but it's your fault that you like someone who's already married. You have a job, you're not bad looking, and there are many people who like you. If you like soldiers, there are many singles in the barracks. If you don't like soldiers, your mother and I can find someone to introduce you to. Why do you only focus on Captain Lu? Why do you have to hang yourself on him?"
"But I just like him!"
"You like him, but Captain Lu doesn't like you. Why are you so persistent? Did your mother and I raise you just to destroy other people's families? Don't say anything. Come home with me. If you keep making trouble, I won't be able to continue working in the army!" Political Commissar Zhou turned to Lu Tingxiao with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm sorry, Captain Lu, I'm sorry to have caused trouble for you and Comrade Jiang. I'll take Li Qing home to educate her. If she really doesn't repent, I'll send her back to her hometown!"
"Okay, Political Commissar, you and Auntie should discipline Comrade Zhou more. Not everyone is as reasonable as my wife!"
Political Commissar Zhou nodded and quickly took Zhou Liqing back home.
