hiss--
It hurts so much.
Ruan Mingfu covered her nose which was hurt by the collision and glared at the culprit.
"Why did you stop so suddenly?"
Xie Yanzhao's Adam's apple rolled, and he wanted to raise his hand but stopped.
He looked at Ruan Mingfu deeply and sighed in his heart.
"Being a soldier's wife is not as good as imagined. Even if I can endure the pain of separation, if one day..."
Xie Yanzhao's eyes were deep, and he didn't know how to say the rest.
"What do you mean by that?"
Ruan Mingfu put down her hand that was covering her nose, frowned and glared at him?
Is this dog man trying to go back on his word?
Xie Yanzhao swallowed and turned his face away in embarrassment under Ruan Mingfu's bright gaze.
Ruan Mingfu's brows furrowed even more tightly.
"What do you mean?" She glared at Xie Yanzhao with a tense face, "Our marriage is no longer valid, right?"
In fact, she had forced this marriage.
Xie Yanzhao also helped Ruan Mingfu get rid of the Zhou family and make them pay for their crimes. For someone he had only known for a few days, he had done his best.
The dog man did a great job.
Even if he regretted it now, Ruan Mingfu couldn't find the words to scold him.
The tip of her nose felt sore and painful, and the mist in her eyes kept gathering and sliding down her delicate, white cheeks.
Xie Yanzhao looked at her like this and moved his lips.
After a long while, he continued, "I just want you to think it over carefully."
"Bastard!" Ruan Mingfu was angry and anxious, with a faint bitterness in her heart. Her tearful eyes were blurred and she could not see the expression on Xie Yanzhao's face. She could only vaguely recognize the tall figure in front of her.
Xie Yanzhao moved his fingers slightly, but still gave up.
"You didn't really want to marry me from the beginning," Ruan Mingfu wiped the tears from her face, bit her lower lip and continued, "I heard everything you said to Xu Zhu in the hospital."
Miss Ruan's pride would not allow her to continue crying like this.
"I just want to get revenge on you," she sniffed. "Actually, even if you don't say it today, I will say it too. We've been acting for so long, it's time to end it."
Xie Yanzhao's eyes were as black as ink.
The air around them seemed to be stuck, making Ruan Mingfu feel a little breathless.
His entire face was hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see his expression.
The frogs beside her ears stopped croaking at some point, and the only sound around her was the rustling of trees in the evening breeze. Ruan Mingfu suddenly felt a little confused, and she swallowed.
A pair of bright big eyes, because they had just cried, were as clear as if they had been washed with water.
She just said something like that. Would that bastard kill her here and dump her body to vent his anger?
Fortunately, the guesthouse was not far away. There were two lamps hanging in front of the door, emitting a soft orange glow, which looked very reliable at first glance.
She quickly ran to the door of the guesthouse, and when she entered, she turned around to take a last look at Xie Yanzhao who was standing not far away.
He seemed to blend in with the shadows of the trees, and if you didn't look carefully you wouldn't know where he was.
Ruan Mingfu pursed her lips, suppressed the thoughts in her eyes, turned around and walked into the guesthouse.
Returning to her room, Ruan Mingfu was about to cry again when she thought about what had just happened.
You bastard!
Son of a bitch!
But...she and that bastard must have...fallen out, right?
She sat on the stool and slowly exhaled, but her eyes looked towards the window uncontrollably.
A hint of struggle flashed across Ruan Mingfu's beautiful peach blossom eyes.
After a long while, she finally opened the window and quickly glanced downstairs. She saw the shadows of the trees swaying in the air, and under the bright moon in the sky, she could see the scenery below, but she could not see the tall and straight figure.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
It made her look like a fool because she was so confused just now.
The other party didn't care about her at all.
Ruan Mingfu felt that she shouldn't take the bad man to heart.
Just take your things and go wash up.
After coming back, she was even more irritated. Lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, she punched the pillow angrily.
So annoying!
…
I tossed and turned for half the night yesterday, and got up the next day as expected.
When I opened my eyes, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
She slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.
Ruan Mingfu thought about it all night yesterday and finally figured it out today.
She was like this yesterday, but the bastard didn't come after her. What does this mean? It means that she is not in his heart at all.
In that case, she would no longer think about him!
Miss Ruan is beautiful, and has never lacked suitors since she was a child. As for men, the next one is even better.
After figuring it out, Ruan Mingfu felt relaxed all over.
The bastard didn't care about her, and she didn't want to see him again.
I'll find someone to send her back soon and never see her again!
Ruan Mingfu opened the window.
Today, the wind blew and the sky became gloomy, as if it was going to rain. As expected, when Ruan Mingfu came back from lunch on the second floor, it started to rain.
It started out as a drizzle, then turned into a heavy downpour.
Ruan Mingfu's window was open, and the breeze carrying raindrops hit her face, which was cool and very comfortable.
She sorted out all the things she had brought.
Fortunately, she didn't pack too many things when she came, otherwise she would be exhausted to death if she had to carry so many things back.
When I turned over one of the bags, I saw the velvet box inside and two unopened watch boxes next to it.
This is the watch that Lin Shu and Xie Yanzhao bought for her before.
The original owner also had a watch, and she had quite a few, but she had not worn mourning since she went to the countryside. After she came here, she had to go to work, and she did not wear it.
Fortunately, she has never worn it, otherwise it would be bad.
Ruan Mingfu took out these three things.
She is a moral person and will never take anything that does not belong to her.
After all the busy work, the rain outside the window had stopped, and beads of sweat appeared on Ruan Mingfu's forehead.
She looked at the two bags in the room, with a flash of satisfaction in her eyes.
Ruan Mingfu thinks she is quite smart.
Just by watching Zhu Hong clean up once, you will know what to do.
She is truly a genius.
*
Xu Zhu drank a lot of wine yesterday. If Hu Wanning hadn't made him a bowl of hangover soup, he probably wouldn't have been able to get up today.
He sat up from the bed, still looking a little dazed.
"Why don't you just stay at home and rest today."
Hu Wan came in from outside with a cup of honey water in her hand. When she saw him wake up, she handed it to him.
"No," Xu Zhu took a big gulp and felt much better. "A lot of new soldiers were returned a few days ago. I have to keep an eye on them."
Hu Wanning rolled her eyes at him. "What can you do if you don't go there for one day? Besides, there's Old Xie watching over there. His words are much more effective than yours."
Isn't it much easier to use?
As soon as Xie Yanzhao stood in front of the team, no one dared to listen.
"By the way, what happened to them later? Did Old Xie get them drunk?"
Xu Zhu was the first person to fall at the table, so he had no idea what happened next.
"You still have the nerve to say that," Hu Wanning took the cup and said unhappily, "Four or five of you have all fallen down, but Old Xie is still fine. You still have the nerve to force people to drink."
Hu Wanning only found out about it yesterday.
Xie Yanzhao can really drink.
Xu Zhu: “…”
"No, I have to go."
Xu Zhu threw off the quilt and got out of bed.
"...Then you should eat something early before leaving..."
"No need, I'll just go to the team and take care of it."
Hu Wanning chased after him and looked at Xu Zhu, who had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, and rolled her eyes at him unhappily.
When she looked down, she saw Goudan sitting opposite her, sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail happily. When he saw his mistress looking at him, he barked excitedly.
Hu Wanning: “…”
No wonder Ruan Mingfu likes it, it looks really cute like this.
Xu Zhu walked all the way to the army, humming a few tuneless songs. When he entered the office, his heart sank.
Something is wrong...something is really wrong!
Everyone around him lowered their heads, and the only sound in the huge office was the rustling of papers. Everyone seemed to be stretched tight like a rubber band, and the atmosphere was extremely tense, as if a tiny spark could blow a person to pieces.
Xu Zhu looked around and then mouthed words to Wu Gang who was not far away.
'What's going on?'
Wu Gang didn't say anything, but looked at the closed room not far away and winked at him.
Xu Zhu frowned slightly.
But he saw that everyone in the room looked at him with bitter expressions and pleading expressions.
Xu Zhu glanced at these people, and without knocking, he opened the door and walked in.
But as soon as I entered, I was shocked.
Xie Yanzhao sat at the table with a serious face, his eyes fixed on the documents in his hands, and his whole body exuded a low pressure. He was fierce to begin with, and now it made people dare not breathe.
Xu Zhu finally understood why the people outside were like this.
He swallowed hard, but ultimately he didn't have the courage to speak, so he could only sit down dejectedly.
Xie Yanzhao didn't even glance at him, his tense expression carrying the feeling that a storm was about to come.
He put down the documents in his hand, looked at the clock hanging on the wall, turned around and walked out.
Seeing this, Xu Zhu pursed his lips and asked loudly, "Where are you going?"
"Training new soldiers."
As soon as he finished speaking, he left.
Training new soldiers?
Xu Zhu looked up at the sky outside the window, where dark clouds were rolling: "..."
It's going to rain soon, why train new recruits?
Xu Zhu sat back down, and several grown men stood outside the door and watched him.
"...That's all you can do." Xu Zhu looked at them unhappily, completely forgetting that he almost didn't dare to breathe before. "Everyone has left, what are you afraid of?"
Several old men breathed a sigh of relief and then walked in from outside.
"What's wrong with Lao Xie today?"
"It's been a while since I last saw him like this. Did something big happen?"
"Commander Xie is here to see him again?"
As Xie Yanzhao's subordinates and brothers, they knew more about his life experience than others, and naturally knew that father and son did not get along.
"What trouble has Commander Xie brought to Old Xie again?"
"Are you stupid?" Xu Zhu rolled his eyes at them one by one. "Commander Xie is making trouble again. When have you ever seen Commander Xie so angry?"
Several big men looked at Xu Zhu.
Xu Zhu: “…”
He had a feeling of guilt that he was the only one in the world who was clear-headed.
I want to light a cigarette, but I don't have anything in my hand.
Xu Zhu sighed, "It can't be a quarrel between a young couple."
"Well, this is no big deal."
The men suddenly realized what was going on and relaxed. They didn't take the couple's quarrel to heart, after all, they could always make up after a quarrel, and who knows when they will make up again.
"My husband quarrels with me every day. I'm used to it."
"Old Xie, this is not possible..."
"That's right, how can you still be angry when arguing with a woman?"
"Old Xie is too petty."
Xu Zhu frowned. Based on his experience, something had definitely happened to Xie Yanzhao and Ruan Mingfu, and it was a serious problem.
He took the hat from the table and put it on his head.
"Lao Xu, what are you doing now?"
Xu Zhu turned around and walked out, "I'm going to look for Old Xie."
"It's going to rain outside..."
…
Ruan Mingfu went downstairs and saw the hostess sitting on the side knitting. She looked at her curiously and said, "Comrade, I want to ask, where can I make a phone call?"
She looked to be around 40 years old, with smooth skin and well-dressed. It was obvious that she came from a well-off family.
She looked Ruan Mingfu up and down, then pointed her in a direction.
"Turn right when you go out, it's next door."
"Hey, thank you comrade."
I walked in the direction the proprietress pointed, and after walking for a while I finally found the place.
The person inside helped Ruan Mingfu dial the number, and soon after, Gu Yilin's clear voice came from the microphone.
"Hello, who's that?"
"It's me," Ruan Mingfu took the microphone. The man also tactfully moved away. Then she spoke, "Ruan Mingfu."
Then, a scream broke out from the microphone, almost shattering the eardrums of the unsuspecting Ruan Mingfu.
Her face was full of black lines, and she said unhappily: "What are you yelling about?"
My ears are going to be deafened by the noise!
"Hmph! What are you talking about?" Gu Yilin snorted coldly, pouting her lips with displeasure, "I went to the village to look for you last time, but I came up empty-handed again. Tell me, why can't I find you every time? If the educated youth hadn't told me that you ran away with a man, I would have thought you were missing."
What does it mean to run away with a man?
It turns out that you can't spit out ivory from the mouth of a fake bestie.
"By the way," Gu Yilin's face turned lustful, "How are you doing over there? Have you found some strong and muscular soldiers for me?"
"I'm still here waiting for your letter."
When Gu Yilin said this, his face was filled with joy.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Isn't it said that people of this era are very innocent?
Why were the ones or two she met so violent and horrible as those fifty years later?
"Remember, strong..."
"Remember, remember," Ruan Mingfu said with disgust, "quickly close the corners of your mouth."
Gu Yilin on the other side actually reached out and wiped the corner of his lips. After he realized what was going on, he became a little annoyed. "Humph! If you don't tell me what's going on, I'm going to hang up."
"I'll be back in two days, come pick me up at the station."
"Come back?!" Gu Yilin was shocked. "What's going on? Aren't you going to get married?"
As she said this, her eyes fell on the big bag of things placed in the corner of the supply and marketing department. These were all the wedding gifts she carefully selected for Ruan Mingfu, and each one contained her hard work.
I can't send it out like this...
Then how did she use these things to taunt Ruan Mingfu?
She had been thinking that when her best friend saw the things she had personally picked out, each of which was a fine product, she would definitely be shocked by her taste, and then she would feel ashamed and admit with tears that she had better taste.
hateful!
Now that they are not married, how can she give these things away?
Thinking of Xie Yanzhao...Ruan Mingfu shook her head violently.
She doesn't want to think about that bastard!
"I just don't want to get married. Just tell me whether you will come to pick me up or not."
Gu Yilin said: "Yes, of course!"
Of course she would not miss such a good opportunity to laugh at Ruan Mingfu. She would get her right under her nose and laugh at her every day!
A look of satisfaction flashed in Ruan Mingfu's eyes.
"Then it's settled. I'll tell you the train number once I've asked someone to buy the tickets..."
The two chatted for a while before Ruan Mingfu hung up the phone. After paying, she walked out.
The road was a bit muddy after it rained.
Ruan Mingfu wore a pair of high heels and walked very carefully.
Most of the troops were built in remote places, which were inconvenient but had the advantage of beautiful scenery. There were two rows of trees planted neatly on both sides of the road leading to the guesthouse, and many unknown wild flowers grew beside them.
It looks a bit like a sunflower, but not as big as it. It is only the size of a palm, colorful and beautiful.
Ruan Mingfu picked a few flowers and put them in her hand. Just as she was about to smell them, she saw a person standing not far away, staring at her with burning eyes.
She frowned, and the man walked towards her seeing this.
"Comrade Ruan, how are you?"
The man stood in front of Ruan Mingfu, his brows and eyes were cold, like a piece of uncarved ice.
Ruan Mingfu's beautiful brows frowned.
She had no good feelings towards anyone in the Lu family, including Lu Yang, whom she had only met two or three times.
Ruan Mingfu didn't want to have anything to do with the Lu family, and wanted to leave without even paying any attention to them, but Lu Yang stopped her.
"Comrade Ruan, I came to you today to discuss something."
"I have nothing to do with your Lu family, and there is nothing to say," Ruan Mingfu looked at Lu Yang and said word by word: "Get out of the way!"
Despite being treated so impolitely, Lu Yang remained expressionless.
The expression on his face remained the same as always, "Comrade Ruan, I am here for the marriage between the Lu and Ruan families."
Ruan Mingfu looked up at him.
Lu Yang's usually expressionless face was a little bitter, "Comrade Ruan, I know that it is my Lu family that has let you down. You can ask for any compensation you want, and I will definitely do whatever I can."
"oh?"
Ruan Mingfu looked at Lu Yang suspiciously, "What if I want you to marry me?"
All men are bad!
Xie Yanzhao is, and the Lu brothers are even more so.
The air is filled with the fragrance of plants and trees, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. The colors of flowers and plants after the rain seem to have been washed by water, which is intoxicating to look at.
But Ruan Mingfu didn't have time to appreciate it.
She ignored Lu Yang's pressing, "Why, is this question so difficult to answer?"
Didn’t he say at the train station yesterday that he was willing to marry her? Turns out it was all a lie.
Pooh!
All men are not good.
"No," Lu Yang coughed lightly, "Comrade Ruan, what I said yesterday is still valid. As long as you want, I can..."
Ruan Mingfu had a wooden face and said, "No, you can't."
What do you think of marriage when you treat it as such a joke?
You can tell at first glance that he is not a reliable person.
Ruan Mingfu felt a little upset and her face showed some sadness.
What is Lu Yang?
She was a person who was as famous as Xie Yanzhao, so how could she not know what she was thinking? It was precisely because of this that he felt a lump in his heart and felt even worse.
"Comrade Ruan, I really want to make it up to you."
His parents and brother made this matter very ugly.
In order to avoid being caught in the act in the future, Lu Yang could only clean up the mess for his biological parents and younger brother.
"No, you Lu family are a bunch of ungrateful wolves, I dare not get involved with them."
Ruan Mingfu's words did not leave Lu Yang any face at all.
But the other party was very cunning, and apart from the unchanged expression on his face, no one could see any flaws.
Lu Yang then said, "Comrade Ruan, I hope you can think about it carefully. After all, the Lu and Ruan families are old friends. If we make things awkward, it will be embarrassing for everyone."
"It's the face of your Lu family."
Ruan Mingfu thought for a moment, then continued, "My parents are now undergoing reform on the farm. How can they still have the face to do this?"
Farms are not like educated youth who went to the countryside. As long as they go to work and do farm work, they are free most of the time. But people who are sent to farms are far from being so free. Not only do they have to work, but they are also under control at all times.
The original owner didn't dare to send good things, for fear that they wouldn't reach them.
Lu Yang's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't know how to say it.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "Comrade Ruan, I really want to make it up to you."
Lu Yang looked serious and didn't look like he was lying.
Ruan Mingfu frowned.
Seeing that her attitude seemed to be softening, Lu Yang continued, "You can ask for any conditions you want. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you."
"That's what you said."
"Well," Ruan Mingfu said without hesitation, "Then I want you to vindicate my parents."
Lu Yang: “…”
Those who were demoted were criminals, so it was not easy to redress them. Moreover, Lu Yang could only have a say in the army, and although the Xie family was in politics, they were only in the ruling place.
Even a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
What's more, the Xie family is not that dragon.
Seeing Lu Yang's embarrassment, Ruan Mingfu raised her eyebrows and said, "If you can't even do this, your Lu family isn't as powerful as you think."
"Except for this, I will agree to anything you want."
Ruan Mingfu had never placed her hopes for her parents' redress on the Lu family, and she said this condition only to embarrass Lu Yang.
Seeing that he still insisted on compensating her, Ruan Mingfu gave up the idea of continuing to embarrass him.
"Okay, then you agree to my three conditions."
"What conditions?"
Ruan Mingfu thought for a moment and said, "First, give me two thousand yuan. Second, buy me a train ticket, preferably a soft sleeper. Third, beat up Lu Yan. If you see any injuries, you've done it."
A marriage contract in exchange for two thousand dollars is not a loss at all. The third condition is just to vent my anger.
She had not forgotten the way that bastard had belittled her at the station yesterday. She would not give him a good beating unless he could beat him up. He really thought she was someone who could be easily provoked.
It's just...how can I let her do such a rough job as beating people?
Thinking about the shocked look on Lu Yan's face when he was beaten, Ruan Mingfu felt that the sky was bluer and the water was clearer...
"I didn't make things difficult for you this time."
These three conditions are not difficult for Lu Yang.
Compared to the support that the Ruan family had given to the Lu family before, two thousand yuan was not much. He didn't even need to do the second condition himself, there were plenty of people willing to do it for him.
As for the third condition...
This kid Lu Yan does things without any scruples and rushes around recklessly. It would be better if he could suffer a little and restrain himself a little.
Lu Yang raised his head: "Okay, I promise you everything."
"Tomorrow morning," Ruan Mingfu smiled as she walked past Lu Yang towards the guesthouse, "I'll wait for your good news."
Lu Yang looked at her back and suddenly spoke.
"I meant it when I said I would marry you."
