Chapter 695 Premeditated 2

Jiang Xiaoyue carried the bamboo basket into the house, put it down, shook off the snow on her body, and ran straight to the east room.

Although the east is the most respected room, Feng Qingxue lived in the east room from the beginning to recuperate after giving birth, so after Lu's father and others came, they did not make any changes. The mother and daughter slept with Wang Fengqiao, while Lu's father and Xibao slept in the west room.

There was a big kang in the room, which was very warm.

Feng Qingxue was very happy to see Jiang Xiaoyue. "Are you taking a break today? Is it cold outside? Come and sit down and warm yourself up."

Jiang Xiaoyue climbed onto the kang and sat cross-legged. She first looked at Fubao and said, "My dad predicted that it would snow yesterday. It's true that the old ones are the wisest and have a lot of life experience. Fortunately, it snowed. When I went to the grocery store this morning, there were fewer people lining up, so I bought two pig's trotters, a piece of mutton, a mutton skeleton, and some mutton offal. Freeze the pig's trotters outside and make soup for you tomorrow. We'll have mutton bone soup at noon. I'll go buy some sesame cakes."

Feng Qingxue said gratefully: "Xiaoyue, thank you for taking so much trouble."

The thought is so important that money seems to be a small matter.

"What are you thanking me for? You saved my life!" Jiang Xiaoyue usually wouldn't mention that incident, but it didn't mean she didn't remember it. "Except for Zhuzhu and Xiaotao who stayed with you, the other people who were punished are now being ostracized. Even if they marry the soldiers over there, it's useless. Their reputation has spread here along with us, and our parents have scolded them for being shameful!"

Feng Qingxue frowned slightly. "It's been so long, why is it still not over? Some of them are already married."

Jiang Xiaoyue sighed, "Gossip can melt gold, and constant criticism can destroy a person. This is how scary people's words are! A punished art soldier couldn't stand the rumors in the regiment and at home, and he hanged himself the other day."

"What?" Feng Qingxue was shocked.

"The person she was communicating with was actually her boyfriend. They were secretly in love, but they didn't make it public and didn't report it to the army. After being punished, she admitted her mistake very well, so she wasn't severely punished. And because her family had a boyfriend, she didn't accept the army's arrangement to marry a soldier there. But when the news of her punishment spread back to her, her boyfriend's family knew about it. Her boyfriend never admitted to dating her, and put all the blame on her. Her parents scolded her, and other people pointed fingers at her. After she came back, the army gave her another punishment. She suffered for more than half a year. Maybe she couldn't bear it anymore, so she committed suicide at night."

Jiang Xiaoyue looked sad when she spoke, with a feeling of grief over the death of a rabbit and the grief of the fox among its own kind. If it weren't for Feng Qingxue's help, she and Fang Ning might have suffered the same fate as this comrade-in-arms.

"What's that person's name? He has flaws in character. If you meet him next time, you must be careful and don't make close friends with him."

After hearing what Feng Qingxue said, Jiang Xiaoyue felt that it made sense and replied, "Yes, this is very important! My poor comrade who died was called Chu Honghong, and that disgusting man was called Li Zhi, who was Li Jun's cousin!"

"Li Jun?" Isn't that Jiang Xiaoyue's childhood sweetheart?

"Yes, Li Jun is my neighbor. Our two families have a good relationship. We grew up together. I didn't have a mother when I was young, so I drank his mother's milk. That's why I was very fat when I was young, but he was skinny and could be blown away by a gust of wind!" Jiang Xiaoyue was very excited when talking about her childhood sweetheart. "That Li Zhi is Li Jun's cousin. He is the child of Li Jun's uncle. But his uncle is an ordinary worker. He went to the city to work after the founding of the People's Republic of China."
