"You're being unreasonable!"
Wan Guiying had no way to express her suffering. Wu Wanying and her daughter were cunning and wicked, pinching her in places that were sharp but left no marks.
Even if she told them, people would just think she was being unreasonable and wouldn't believe her at all.
With a hint of satisfaction on her face, Wu Wanying retorted, "You can't reason with someone like you. If I hear you talking about us behind our backs again, I'll beat you up."
After that fight, Wu Wanying seemed to have flipped a switch, and she completely stopped using her previous kind and benevolent ways of doing things.
"Yu Yao, come on, Mom will take you home."
After this battle, Wu Wanying and Yu Yao became much closer, and they walked home hand in hand.
Wan Guiying could only grumble behind her back. Having just lost face, she wanted to make up for it, so she spoke up to the people around who were trying to break up the fight.
"Don't be fooled by Wu Wanying's tough demeanor just now; it was all an act. She was angry because I told her the truth."
"Just you wait and see, she'll never dare to call her son-in-law over. If she does, I'll rip my head off and use it as a football."
As soon as she finished speaking, a deep, magnetic voice came from behind her.
"Excuse me, sir, you're blocking the way."
Who was so tactless? Wan Guiying turned around, ready to curse, but her eyes lit up when she saw Lu Ze.
Is there such a handsome young man on an island?
Wan Guiying looked Lu Ze up and down, her gaze falling on the sidecar he was riding.
While others are proud to own a bicycle, being able to ride a motorcycle shows that one's circumstances are not bad, and one is satisfied.
It landed on the four pockets of his military uniform.
During this period, military ranks were abolished, and officers were required to wear uniforms with four pockets.
Judging from his demeanor, the man opposite me is no ordinary officer.
More satisfied.
Just now, Wu Wanying said that she wouldn't find young and outstanding partners for her daughters, but now these partners have been delivered to her doorstep.
Wan Guiying smiled like a chrysanthemum, but instead of stepping aside, she asked Lu Ze, "Young man, are you an officer in the island troops?"
She had already set up many potential partners for her four daughters, but this was the first time she had found someone she was so satisfied with.
Yingdi is the youngest in her family and most like her, so this young man would be a good match for her as her fourth son-in-law.
Before meeting Yu Yao, Lu Ze had encountered many older women who wanted to introduce him to their daughters, so he was all too familiar with that kind of look.
He instantly guessed Wan Guiying's thoughts.
If Lu Ze hadn't heard the other party's words, he would have left long ago.
Among the family members nearby, someone recognized Lu Ze and tentatively asked, "Are you Commander Lu Ze from the island unit?"
Lu Ze turned to face the family member and answered their question calmly and politely.
Someone who has never liked to talk about titles in front of outsiders actually took the initiative to acknowledge his identity for the first time.
The family member was overjoyed. "It really is Commander Lu! I never expected to see you here. I'm from Haiming Island. Thank you for helping us with earthquake relief during the typhoon."
"Serving the people is what we should do."
When Wan Guihua heard that it was a regimental commander, her eyes practically lit up.
He's so young to be a regimental commander; his future is immeasurable.
She thought of her three sons, who were at the right age.
If they can join the army, with Rongbao, Huabao, and Fubao's intelligence and the help of their brother-in-law who is a regimental commander, their future prospects will definitely be bright.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became; the more he looked at Lu Ze, the more satisfied he was.
I just wanted to find out more about Lu Ze.
"So it's Commander Lu. Is Commander Lu going to the family compound on official business or to visit relatives?" Wan Guihua inquired cautiously.
If she weren't afraid of being too abrupt and scaring people, she would have invited Lu Ze to her home for a matchmaking.
Lu Ze lowered his eyes. Seeing her so attentive, he had already seen through the calculation in her eyes. He frowned and did not answer.
Wan Guihua was met with a cold shoulder and paused for a moment.
If a younger person from the residential compound treated her like that, she would definitely give her a severe dressing-down, taking advantage of her age.
But when she met Lu Ze, Wan Guihua not only didn't get angry, but also felt that men should have such tempers.
After applying safflower oil to Wu Jiayuyao's feet, they felt much better; the pain was barely noticeable.
While Wu Wanying went to the shipyard canteen to get food, she estimated the time and came out to pick up Lu Ze.
Unexpectedly, just as he reached the door, he heard Wan Guihua talking to Zi Luze.
“Commander Lu, please don’t mind,” Wan Guihua said with a smile. “I’m also from this residential compound, and I know everyone here. If you don’t know how to get there, I can help you with directions.”
Yu Yao walked over and said, "When did you become so kind, even giving directions to people?"
Wan Guihua instinctively turned around, ready to curse, but when she saw Yu Yao, her expression changed. "What, it's you?"
Yu Yao ignored her and walked straight towards Lu Ze.
Seeing her like this, Wan Guihua instantly became wary. This girl is so beautiful. Although she's married, it's not like she can't get a divorce. What if Lu Ze takes a fancy to her?
She absolutely would not allow Wu Wanying's daughter to steal her daughter's boyfriend.
She rushed forward to pull Yu Yao away, but considering Lu Ze's presence, she dared not go too far for fear of revealing her true nature.
Hearing a noise behind her, Yu Yao guessed it was Wan Guihua and used a powerful backhand to force Wan Guihua's hand away.
"ah!"
Wan Guihua's hands hung limply, and her screams were piercing.
She clutched her arm in disbelief, no longer caring about hiding her true nature, and glared at Yu Yao, yelling, "You broke my arm?"
Yu Yao didn't expect her to be so fragile; she dislocated her shoulder after just being patted.
Seeing her screaming and yelling, Yu Yao suddenly didn't want to help her put it back. She wanted her to misunderstand and think her hand was broken, so she deliberately said:
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to break your hand. But you suddenly attacked me from behind, so I just acted out of self-defense."
After saying that, she pretended to reach out and grab Wan Guihua's arm, "How about I take a look for you? If it's just a dislocation, I'll help you put it back in place."
Wan Guihua took a step back in fear.
Yu Yao instinctively broke her hand. What if she deliberately did something bad? Would she still be able to keep this arm?
"It's not a broken hand, just a dislocated joint. It'll be fine once it's put back in place."
One of the family members had been a barefoot doctor and could tell that Wan Guihua's hand was just dislocated. He stepped forward and, taking advantage of her inattention, twisted it and fixed it for her.
Wan Guihua stirred, confirming that the pain had subsided, and looked at Lu Ze:
"Comrade Lu, you've seen it all. This woman is vicious and venomous. She's a married woman. Don't be deceived by her appearance."
Wan Guihua originally wanted to say that this woman was no good, but she wasn't sure what kind of personality Lu Ze had, so she didn't say it.
Yu Yao felt completely bewildered. Lu Ze had been deceived by her; what was all this about?
Besides, what business is it of Wan Guihua's as to their marital affairs? Why should she bother with it?
Wait a minute, Yu Yao suddenly realized something, looked at Wan Guihua, and gave her a meaningful smile:
"You're not... afraid that Lu Ze will take a fancy to me, a married woman, are you?"
