Chapter 1: 5000 Yuan Wife
The bustling train station was filled with noise and deafening sounds, and people were busy moving around in every corner carrying large and small bags.
Lu Sui, wearing sunglasses and carrying a peeling backpack, followed the moving crowd out of the train station. The black vest on his upper body could not hide the outline of his dark and full chest muscles. His broad shoulders and muscular arms were completely exposed. His faded jeans wrapped around his strong long legs, and there were a few unclear footprints on his gray military boots.
"Husband!" Before Lu Sui could react, a soft body crashed into his arms.
Lu Sui took off his sunglasses and frowned as he looked at the person who was hugging him tightly. The little face, not even as big as a palm, was covered with thick black hair, and his watery little deer eyes were black and round like black plums. His eyelashes were long and trembling slightly, and there was a cinnabar-like red mole on his delicate nose.
Lu Sui's eyes were gloomy and cold, fierce and wild, and his whole body exuded a sense of keeping strangers away. "Did you recognize the wrong person?"
Liang Jingxuan shuddered and held his breath, "No, you are my husband..."
Lu Sui, "..." He pried him open little by little with his stiff hands.
"Yes, it's your husband, that's right!" A lazy voice came from the back of the van covered with dirt. The man was holding two bottles of Coke, dressed very sloppily, with hair like a chicken nest, and a cigarette in his mouth.
Lu Sui stared at the cigarette in his mouth, his eyes like knives, and shouted hoarsely, "Second Uncle..."
Lu Jun listened to him calling him reluctantly with a bad look on his face, "Second Uncle..." Liang Jingxuan's soft and sticky voice melted his heart, "Hey! Our Xuanbao is still lovable, unlike some people who become annoying as soon as they come back!" As he said that, he stuffed the two bottles of Coke in his hand into Liang Jingxuan's arms.
A flash of hostility flashed across Lu Sui's eyes.
"Who is he?"
"I'm your wife..." Liang Jingxuan's voice was soft, but the intimidation was far greater than the wild roar. Lu Sui felt a little dizzy, and his temples were throbbing. "Wife?"
Lu Jun touched his nose guiltily and opened the car door. "Get in the car first. Your aunt is still waiting for us at home. I'll explain to you when we get back."
Lu Sui's eyes were dark as he stared at him, "Explain it right here!"
The army soldier didn't even look at him. He spit out the cigarette in his mouth, stepped on it, and crushed it again and again. "You are almost 30 and still single. I am in a hurry. I will find you a wife. She is from the next town. Her name is Liang Jingxuan. She is only 19 years old, 10 years younger than you. You got a great bargain!"
Veins popped out on Lu Sui's forehead, and he said in a bad tone, "But he's a man, and a fool! How can he carry on the family line..."
Liang Jingxuan poked her finger, tears welling up in her eyes, "Husband..."
Lu Jun was furious. "So what if he's a man? Feudal thinking! If you think you marry a woman to serve you, then you might as well just find a nanny! Fortunately, he is still stupid. Even if others try to seduce him, they can't seduce him away, and you don't have to worry about him cheating on you. What does it have to do with him to continue the family line? If he can't get pregnant, isn't that your problem? If you can't do it, just say so..."
Lu Sui's lips were tightly pursed and kept trembling, as if he was trying to hold back from exploding. "So you gambled away all the money my dad left for me to marry a wife, right?!"
"Stop talking nonsense here. When did I gamble? Which eye of yours saw it? I raised you with all my heart and soul, paid for your education, sent you to Team B, and now that you're discharged, I even found you a wife. Instead of being grateful, you slander me! You have no conscience..."
The army's accusation made Lu Sui very angry, but he had no way to vent his anger, because what he said was the truth and he could not deny it...
"I was raised by my second aunt. It has nothing to do with you!" Lu Sui said, then got into the van with his backpack.
Lu Jun was too lazy to pay attention to him and whispered to Liang Jingxuan, who looked depressed, "Xuanbao, don't be afraid of him. He is just trying to scare people and has a bad temper. He won't dare to hurt you when I am here!"
"I'm not afraid of him..." Liang Jingxuan sniffed. He could feel that the man hated him...
Lu Jun pinched his face and said, "Let's get in the car. Your aunt has made your favorite braised pork today!"
"Okay..." Liang Jingxuan walked around to the other side, opened the passenger door, and glanced at Lu Sui in the rearview mirror. The man had a buzz cut, was neat and tidy, and had strong, three-dimensional features that were stern and intimidating, especially his hawk-like eyes that seemed to want to swallow people up.
He bit his lip, and somehow closed the passenger door, opened the back door with great effort, and timidly sat in. Lu Sui frowned, hugged her backpack and sat by the window. Liang Jingxuan pretended to move closer to him, "Husband..."
Lu Sui felt a chill, "..."
He turned around irritably, his eyes darkened, and met Liang Jingxuan's wet eyes. He couldn't say a word of humiliation, and after turning around, he changed to, "Don't call me that!"
Liang Jingxuan poked his palm in grievance, "What is that called..."
The soldier who was buckled in the driver's seat was not afraid of making trouble when watching the excitement. "Just call me husband!"
Liang Jingxuan nodded shyly, "Okay, husband..."
Lu Sui's murderous look was not hidden at all, "..."
"Honey, do you want to drink Coke?" Liang Jingxuan asked with her head tilted. Her tearful eyes were like a galaxy falling from the sky. Lu Sui's Adam's apple rolled and she hurriedly dodged, "No..."
"Then can you help me open it?" Liang Jingxuan handed it over carefully.
Lu Sui, "..."
"You'll fall down in the car!" The tone was fierce. Liang Jingxuan shrank his neck and sat back in his seat with a Coke in his arms. "Is there a cannon in your mouth? Can you talk properly?!" Lu Jun glared at Lu Sui fiercely in the rearview mirror, then turned around and coaxed Liang Jingxuan in a soft voice, "Xuanbao, let's not drink anymore. Let's go home and eat first, otherwise we won't be able to eat the braised pork if we're full."
Liang Jingxuan nodded obediently, "Xuanbao doesn't want to drink it, leave it for Second Auntie!"
"Okay, Xuanbao is so good, sit down!"
Lu Jun's wrinkled face was filled with an indulgent smile. Lu Sui was very familiar yet very strange. Liang Jingxuan poked his arm and said, "Hubby, sit down..."
Lu Sui pursed his thin lips, a storm gradually brewing in his eyes. The thin man wore a red short-sleeved shirt, and his exposed skin was sickly pale, like a frail sick beauty. If it weren't for his flat chest and Adam's apple, one would have thought he was a woman. The neckline was very wide, and his dark eyes began to become revealing.
"husband?"
Seeing him staring at her without saying anything, Liang Jingxuan leaned forward, and the sweetness from his body invaded her. Lu Sui felt that all the cells in her body were swollen with excitement. She said in a dry throat, "I know..." Her voice was low and hoarse...
Liang Jingxuan thought that he despised her, so she moved back dejectedly. Lu Sui's eyes followed him uncontrollably as she looked out the car window. The graceful mountains were blooming with enchantment in the morning sunlight.
Liang Jingxuan looked out the window for a while and then began to doze off. He leaned back in the chair in a daze and fell into a deep sleep during the bumpy ride.
Lu Sui raised his arm, closed the roaring car window, and looked at the rearview mirror with fierce eyes, "Have you been deceived?"
Lu Jun glanced at the sleeping Liang Jingxuan in the rearview mirror. "I had been playing mahjong for a whole day and night, and my mind was in a trance. When I went out, I ran into Xuanbao's uncle. He said that the family was in financial difficulty. At that time, Xuanbao was wearing a skirt and looked pale and thin. I thought that you had not married yet, so I bargained with him and brought him back from 20,000 to 5,000. Your aunt gave him a bath and found out that he was a boy... and he had some problems in his mind..."
Lu Sui's dark eyes were filled with extremely suppressed rage, "Then why don't you retreat?!"
"Do you think I didn't want to? I went to his house with a kitchen knife to kill him, but I was too late... His uncle had already run away. I heard from the old man next door that he took a train overnight to Guangzhou, but I don't even know where exactly. Damn it..." The more Lu Jun thought about it, the angrier he got. He slammed the steering wheel so hard that the front of the car staggered!
Inertia came violently, and Lu Sui lost his balance and pressed heavily on Liang Jingxuan, with his thin lips touching the wings of Liang Jingxuan's nose. Lu Sui's pupils suddenly dilated, and the blood in his body roared wildly. He grabbed the back of the chair with his veiny hands and stood up in a wolfish manner.
"Can you drive properly?!!!"
Lu Jun felt a little apologetic, but not much. "What are you yelling at? I'm half your father after all, and you're talking to me like that?!"
Lu Sui clenched his fists and managed to utter a sentence after a long while, "If you can't drive, I'll drive!"
The army pretended to be deaf and dumb, changed the subject and asked, "Xuanbao is not awake yet, right?"
Lu Sui glanced at Liang Jingxuan, who was sleeping peacefully with her long eyelashes trembling. "Not awake yet..."
"That's good……"
The shabby van continued to drive on the bumpy mud road. "Doesn't he have any other relatives?" Lu Sui asked coldly.
"Yes, but they all deny that they are relatives. Their town was hit hardest by the ice disaster last winter, and they haven't recovered yet. They haven't even filled their stomachs yet, so who would want to meddle in other people's business?"
Lu Sui looked at Lu Jun's hunched back in surprise, "Then why would you be willing to do that?"
The army officer heard another meaning in his words, "What do you mean? Do you think I am a heartless and ungrateful person?"
Because he was the elder and suppressed Lu Sui, he couldn't vent his resentment no matter how big it was. "You know what kind of person you are in your heart!" He looked at Liang Jingxuan with disgust, "I don't want him, you find a way to return it yourself!"
The army snorted coldly, "You married a wife for 5,000 yuan, you should be content. When you go out and give someone 5,000 yuan, they may not even let you touch their hands. You got a great bargain and you're still complaining to me..."
Lu Sui's eyes widened with anger. "Your argument is totally perverted. You are marrying your own nephew off to a man. Aren't you afraid that the villagers will stab you in the back?"
The army soldier looked fearless, "Who dares to poke me in the back? Come on! I'll just lie down on the ground and give him five or six thousand. I guarantee he won't have anything left on his pants when he leaves our house!"
Lu Sui, "..."
Lu Jun continued, "You don't have to worry about who is stabbing you in the back. Everyone in the area knows that Xuan Bao is your wife!" Lu Sui had a bad feeling, "How did you know?"
Lu Jun coughed twice in a pretentious manner, "We haven't held a wedding banquet in many years. The money given as gifts is at least 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and you don't know when you will come back... I took this opportunity to hold a wedding for you and Xuanbao, thinking of collecting the money given as gifts over the years..."
Lu Sui's eyes gradually turned red and gloomy, which was very scary. "Where is the money from the gift money? And where is the money my father left for me to marry a wife?"
Lu Jun looked at Lu Sui in the rearview mirror. He looked extremely cruel. He was so scared that he took a deep breath and said tremblingly, "I lost everything..."
Lu Sui's sharp dark eyes flashed a complex expression in an instant, and the scarlet gradually faded, "I don't want him!" The tone was not so fierce, only stubbornness remained.
"Why don't you want it anymore? Xuanbao is very good..."
Lu Sui interrupted him with an irritated voice, "I don't want it. Not to mention that he is a fool, no, even if he is not a fool, I don't want him. And he is a boy! How can he give me a son?!"
"Hubby, I can have children..." Lu Sui turned his head away suddenly. Liang Jingxuan woke up at some point and looked at him timidly with red eyes.
