Chapter 162 Not for Love, But to Join the Army?
Zhang Yi prepared a table full of dishes, which smelled delicious.
Although they are all common farm ingredients, she made them into dishes that were delicious and visually appealing.
The braised pork belly is glistening and tempting, while the stir-fried vegetables are vibrant green and refreshing.
Shen Wanjun held her chopsticks, her eyes filled with happiness.
"I haven't had my aunt's cooking in a long time. Just the smell makes my mouth water."
"Then you should eat more, look how thin you are."
Zhang Yi smiled and placed a generous portion of braised pork belly, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, on her plate.
"Auntie, are you getting used to living here?"
Shen Wanjun swallowed the food in her mouth and asked softly, feeling a little uneasy.
Because of her words, the whole family resolutely left the bustling city of Shanghai and came to this godforsaken little village.
The food here is simple, and the accommodations are basic.
Going out is either dusty or muddy, so daily travel relies entirely on two legs.
The only means of transportation occasionally available is the villagers' slow-moving donkey cart or oxcart.
Their living standards have plummeted from the clouds to the mud.
This is undoubtedly a huge test for the whole family.
Grandma, however, was beaming and said with a smile, "It's great. It's so quiet here, I can sleep soundly at night."
Grandpa nodded slowly in agreement: "Go out for a stroll now and then, look at the mountains and rivers, and get your muscles and bones moving."
Zhang Yi gently replied, "Isn't life just about living wherever you are? Safety and health are more important than anything else."
No one in the family complained. Shen Kun listened silently, scratching the back of his head.
A wave of sadness washed over me, and I felt incredibly sorry for my family.
His house was dilapidated, and he hadn't had time to properly repair it for so long.
Some of the plaster was peeling off the walls, and the windows were creaking.
Luckily, it hasn't rained heavily recently, otherwise the roof might have leaked.
He took a deep breath and looked up.
With a firm tone: "I'll build a big house for our family in a while."
To Shen Wanjun's surprise, no one blamed her, and the whole family was very satisfied with their current life.
Especially when Shen Kun went on to say that many once-prosperous and wealthy families in Shanghai had recently run into trouble.
The commotion caused widespread panic and unrest, leaving several people with mixed feelings.
Grandpa sighed and said, "It seems we made the right choice."
Hiding in this mountain village might have truly saved them from disaster.
Grandma also said, "It's all thanks to listening to Wanwan's advice back then."
Wanwan is simply their family's savior.
Song Zhan was unaware of these matters and thought that Shen Kun and the others had returned to their hometown to make it easier for their grandparents to take care of themselves.
So, there's more to the story behind his wife traveling thousands of miles to find him!
This idea startled Song Zhan.
I hurriedly took a sip of water to suppress the complex emotions in my heart.
Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Kun assumed that he was not used to being at home.
He raised his glass and said, "Come, have a drink with your uncle."
Song Zhan raised his glass, but only took a small sip because he had to drive home that night.
When he got home, he was sullen and unhappy.
Huang Ya took Song Juan out to play, and they haven't returned yet.
Only he and Shen Wanjun were in the room.
After much thought, Song Zhan decided to tell his wife what was on his mind.
When Shen Wanjun got home, she was a little tired and took a nap in bed.
She had just woken up when she saw Song Zhan sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at her intently.
Seeing that she was awake, Song Zhan brought her a glass of water: "Want some?"
Shen Wanjun took a small sip and noticed that he seemed a little unhappy.
He put down his water glass and asked, "What's wrong?"
Song Zhan said, "Did your uncle's whole family come to Qin Province because Shanghai was too dangerous?"
Shen Wanjun nodded: "Yes."
"So, what about you?"
"I?"
"Is this why you want to remarry me?"
He was paralyzed before he could submit his divorce application.
But in Shen Wanjun's view, they had already divorced at that time.
That's why she sent him the telegram to remarry.
Shen Wanjun was taken aback; this rough man actually had a pretty good brain.
"So that's why you're unhappy?"
Song Zhan nodded. He had assumed his wife had followed him to the army for love, but he hadn't expected she was just looking for a safe haven.
He just happened to meet the requirements.
The former is pure love, while the latter is mixed with other things.
Song Zhan was very sad, feeling that he was just a choice that Shen Wanjun had no other choice to make.
Shen Wanjun sat up and asked him in return, "If you knew I was in danger, would you have ignored me?"
"Of course not."
"Then what's the difference between you offering to help me and me actively seeking your help?"
"this……"
Song Zhan couldn't argue with him, and the hurt and sadness in his heart hadn't dissipated.
Shen Wanjun asked again, "Do you love me and the baby in my belly?"
"certainly."
Are you happy now?
Song Zhan thought for a moment and said seriously, "It's quite a happy occasion."
His leg has healed, he's been promoted to regimental commander, and his wife is gentle and considerate.
They are about to welcome their baby, and he falls asleep and wakes up smiling every day.
Shen Wanjun tilted her head back and asked, "So, are you still angry with me?"
Song Zhan looked down and saw her red lips and white teeth, her black hair like a waterfall, and her slightly pouting lips, as tempting as strawberries.
He instantly forgot all the grievances he had felt.
He lowered his head and kissed her, saying softly, "I can never be angry with you."
Shen Wanjun hugged the blanket and burst into laughter, "That's more like it."
Let bygones be bygones.
The naive original owner of this body is dead. Now, all she wants is to give birth to her child safely and spend the rest of her life with Song Zhan.
She has now obtained the love she never experienced and the perfect husband she never had in China.
She got up and hugged Song Zhan's neck, hanging her whole body on him.
"Honey, I want kisses, hugs, and to be lifted up high."
Song Zhan held her in his arms and kissed her again and again. No matter the reason, his wife had chosen him.
That's enough. Why think about all that other stuff?
Song Zhan had already planned his own strategy, and he embraced Shen Wanjun, kissing her all the way from the bedroom to the living room.
The two kissed and twirled around, a romantic and heartwarming scene.
Just then, Huang Ya and Song Juan pushed open the door and walked in.
The four of them were stunned at the same time.
Shen Wanjun patted Song Zhan's arm: "Quick, put me down."
I feel really embarrassed.
Song Zhan acted as if he hadn't heard her, and carried her straight back to the bedroom.
As long as he runs fast enough, embarrassment can't catch him.
Huang Ya said to Song Juan, "Your brother is so romantic."
Song Juan put down her bag, hid in the kitchen, picked up a cleaver, and started busily working on something.
When people feel awkward, they always want to find something to do.
——
Zhong Chuchu did not have a happy New Year.
She had made up her mind to leave Jiang Weiguo. Last time she tentatively mentioned it, and unsurprisingly, she was beaten up by Jiang Weiguo.
His parents-in-law watched coldly throughout the entire process. After Jiang Xiangdong was dismissed from his post, he drank heavily every day.
He said coldly, "Our family's misfortunes all began after we married you."
Jiang Weiguo thought about it carefully, and it really was true.
Others get married and their lives become more and more prosperous.
His family is in a terrible situation; they married a jinx.
Since Zhong Chuchu entered the family, she hasn't earned a single penny for them and has even gone to the county hospital twice, spending a considerable amount of money.
On their wedding day, his father got drunk and went to the hospital, and then his mother broke her arm.
All signs indicate that Zhong Chuchu is a jinx.
Jiang Weiguo gritted his teeth and said, "Divorce, I want a divorce."
Zhong Chuchu was overjoyed, but fearing he might change his mind, she wanted to leave right now.
Jiang Weiguo was afraid that if she showed too much joy, he would not leave her.
After thinking it over, she decided to take a step back: "I won't get a divorce, even if you kill me."
