Xie Yanzhao stared at her with danger in his eyes. He leaned against the wall, his tall body tightly covering Ruan Mingfu.
She swallowed involuntarily.
He laughed and said, "I...I'll see if she's asleep."
"real?"
"real."
Ruan Mingfu opened her eyes wide, trying to let the other party see her sincerity.
Xie Yanzhao chuckled and picked up the person in front of him.
She was startled.
I really wanted to scream, but I heard the dog man say: "If you want her to hear you, just bark."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
This is a fucking threat.
But if Gu Yilin really heard the noise, she would no longer be able to live as a human being.
hateful!
Feeling threatened.
She couldn't help but purse her lips, and got angry, punching him on the back a few times in revenge. But the man was as strong as a rock, and was not affected at all, but Ruan Mingfu's hands turned red.
Even more angry!
Xie Yanzhao patted her on the shoulder and said, "Behave yourself."
Where did the damn man take a photo of her just now? !
You bastard!
Ruan Mingfu was so ashamed and angry that her face turned redder than blood.
Before she could figure it out, the other person opened the door and threw her into the bed, pressing her down.
His eyes became darker and darker, and he reached out and gently stroked her face. From her forehead to her chin, and then to her slender neck...
"Why don't you wear the same skirt you wore last time?"
As if she knew what was going to happen next, Ruan Mingfu felt a little uneasy and confused. After a while, she realized what he meant.
His face turned red.
You bastard!
Last time he acted righteously and asked her to change it, but this time he asked her why she didn't wear it?
Thinking of what happened after she put on that skirt, Ruan Mingfu's face turned even redder.
Damn bastard!
Ruan Mingfu wanted to cover her face with her hands, but she was held down tightly.
In desperation, she could only close her eyes and pretend that she didn't see it.
Xie Yanzhao looked dissatisfied and exerted a little force with his hands.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
With tears in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and looked at him in shame and anger, "Turn off the lights!"
…
I don't know what happened, but it has been raining for the past few days since that night. It's wet outside, and Ruan Mingfu doesn't like to visit people.
Gu Yilin wanted to go out, but it was raining so hard outside and no one came out.
When people are bored, they tend to do something.
Just like now.
Ruan Mingfu held the pot and poured various seasonings into it.
Soon, the water in the pot turned black, similar to the soup cooked by the witch in the fairy tales that Gu Yilin had read before.
"Are you sure this is drinkable?"
"Why not?" Ruan Mingfu tasted it and felt it was not salty enough, so she poured a lot more salt.
Gu Yilin was shocked.
She suspected that her best friend disliked her and wanted to kill her!
Ruan Mingfu smelled it and nodded with satisfaction. She looked at the eggs beside her and was about to pour them in, but after thinking about it, she decided to put them down.
"Come and crack the eggs."
Gu Yilin looked at her with a question mark on his face.
But she took a rolling pin and cracked each egg several times. Gu Yilin didn't think that having a fake best friend was crazy at this moment. She walked over curiously.
"What are you doing?"
Ruan Mingfu didn't even raise her head. "Make tea eggs."
"Is it tasty?"
Gu Yilin became more and more curious.
He held the egg in his hand and looked left and right, as if he wanted to see the egg burst into pieces.
“Is it delicious?”
Ruan Mingfu was a little hesitant.
Her auntie is a great cook, and her tea eggs are the most famous. Ruan Mingfu was curious and asked her for some advice. The secret recipe was still the same, but it was her first time making it, so she didn't know if it would taste the same.
It’s all my crappy bestie’s fault.
These two days, he saw Xie Yanzhao in the kitchen and mocked her for being lazy and gluttonous.
hateful!
She had to show off one or two of her skills from time to time to let her crappy best friend know that she, Sister Ruan, did have some skills.
"It won't poison anyone."
Gu Yilin didn't believe in Ruan Mingfu's cooking skills in the first place, and after hearing what she said, he was even more afraid to eat it.
Ruan Mingfu narrowed her eyes.
Looking at the hairy head of her trashy best friend, she clenched the rolling pin in her hand and looked for the right place to start.
Suddenly feeling danger, Gu Yilin shrank back.
The water in the pot began to boil, and the aroma of aniseed gradually filled the air.
Gu Yilin wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and took the rolling pin from Ruan Mingfu, "You are too slow, let me do it."
I have to say, the crappy bestie is really good at work.
After a while, half a basin of eggs was cracked.
Ruan Mingfu took out the black tea sent by the tea factory representative, soaked it in water, and poured both the water and the tea into the pot.
When the lid of the pot was opened, the aroma of aniseed became stronger in the air.
Gu Yilin decided to take back what he had just said.
“When can I eat?”
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Ruan Mingfu expectantly.
"Didn't you just say you didn't want to eat?"
Trash best friend, let’s see if she dares to laugh at her again in the future.
Gu Yilin swallowed his saliva, "Ah... Isn't it because I was not thinking clearly just now? Besides, I still worked for you."
She pointed to the cracked eggs on the plate.
Ruan Mingfu was very proud.
I've defeated my trashy best friend again.
Put the eggs in and cook over high heat for a while, then Ruan Mingfu turned off the fire and simmered the eggs in the soup.
Smelling the fragrance in the air, Gu Yilin felt that he could hardly control himself.
"Hey, when can we eat?"
"Half an hour faster, four hours slower."
“So slow…”
As he was speaking, Wangcai also ran over.
It just squatted at the kitchen door and didn't come in. When it saw Ruan Mingfu looking over, it opened its mouth and barked a few times.
Wangcai was only one month old when he first came, but now he is much fatter than before. He is round and plump, and at first glance he is a cute little puppy.
Ruan Mingfu waved at it, "Wangcai, come here quickly~"
It was tamed by the dog man and was very well behaved. It would not go anywhere except the yard and the living room. Especially the kitchen, no matter how delicious the food was, Wangcai would not come.
Ruan Mingfu liked it even more.
She peeled an egg and placed it in front of it.
Wangcai's eyes lit up and his tail wagged. After glancing at Ruan Mingfu, he began to eat.
"Damn it, you actually fed it to the dog?"
Gu Yilin stared at the egg in Wangcai's mouth eagerly.
After stewing and soaking, the white yolk is gone, and it is stained with a light brown layer. When you smell it carefully, you can smell the rich flavor of aniseed and black tea.
She was extremely resentful.
Wangcai roared at Gu Yilin twice, then ran away with the egg clamp in his mouth.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
If she wasn't here, would her trashy bestie still be trying to snatch food from the dog?
Just as they were speechless, Hu Wanning brought the little fat boy around from the front yard and smiled when he saw the two of them. "I knew you were here right away."
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Ruan Mingfu handed over a small stool, "Hurry and sit down."
Gu Yilin also said, "Hurry up and sit down."
The fat boy first glanced at Ruan Mingfu with his big black grape eyes, then looked at Gu Yilin, pointed at her and said, "Sister."
"Yes, my sister."
Hu Wanning responded and put his hand down.
"Don't point your finger at others, it's impolite."
The little fat boy nodded, not quite understanding.
"Good boy," Hu Wanning stroked the little fat boy's head, "The cabbages over there are growing again. I'll bring some over to you. Have you fried the ones I pulled last time? How do they taste?"
"fine."
Ruan Mingfu thought about it.
This type of cabbage is very tender and has no stem membrane. It is simply fried with lard and a little salt, nothing else.
It tastes fresh, tender and sweet.
"These are the seeds I brought from the capital," Hu Wanning smiled and put the cabbage in her hand into the basin prepared by Ruan Mingfu. "Pick them if you like. It's been raining these days and there are so many growing over there that we can't pick them all."
This vegetable grows when it comes into contact with water.
If I don't check it for a few days, it will grow to the thickness of a tiger's mouth.
But it has a characteristic that no matter how big it grows, it will never get old and will still taste fresh and tender.
"I'll pull out the big ones too," Hu Wanning pointed at two nearby ones, "and stir-fry the leaves with the other cabbages. Leave the stems and let your husband Xie stir-fry them with meat. They'll be so delicious."
Gu Yilin was almost drooling as he listened to this.
"Then I won't be polite to my sister-in-law."
Ruan Mingfu really likes eating this kind of cabbage.
Hu Wanning sniffed, "What a nice smell! I could smell it as soon as I got here. What delicious food are you making?"
“It’s tea eggs.”
Ruan Mingfu took two from the pot with a large spoon.
When he turned around, he saw Gu Yilin's eager look, his heart sank, and he took another one from the pot.
"It was just made not long ago, it should have been left to simmer for a while longer," Ruan Mingfu explained, "it should have tasted better."
Hu Wanning looked at the egg in her hand.
The eggshells had not been peeled yet, and the originally white eggshells had been dyed a darker brown. There were also cracks on them. As a seasoned cook, Hu Wanning could tell at a glance that they were cracked to make the food more flavorful.
She leaned in and sniffed it.
The eggshell also exudes the same fragrance as the air.
Hu Wanning peeled the shell and took a bite, and then her eyes lit up.
"Yes, the egg white is very fragrant," she tasted it carefully, "Maybe there is too much salt, it's a bit salty. But it's just right to eat with porridge."
"Sister-in-law is right. We did add too much salt."
Ruan Mingfu also ate one herself. It was very salty, but still eatable.
She should have forgotten.
Soy sauce also contains salt.
It was her first time, so let it go this time. She should remember to put less next time.
Gu Yilin ate without even raising his head.
"I think it's good and smells good."
She swallowed the whole egg in no time, touched her belly, and showed a satisfied look.
It should become more fragrant if it soaks for a while longer.
Ruan Mingfu complained: "What don't you eat?"
This fake bestie of hers seemed like a starving ghost reincarnated, her appetite almost rivaled that of a grown man like Xie Yanzhao. But she wasn't fat, and it was unclear where all the food went.
Hu Wanning ate the eggs herself and did not forget to feed the little fat boy. At the same time, she talked to Ruan Mingfu about business. "By the way, what are you going to plant in your vegetable garden? It rained these two days and the soil is loose. It's a good time to turn the soil."
"I don't know either," Ruan Mingfu was troubled by the land. "I'll discuss it with Old Xie when he comes back."
"Hurry up."
The winter here is too cold.
If you plant too late, the vegetables will not grow well and will not be able to withstand the cold so they will also be frozen to death.
Ruan Mingfu nodded.
"I see."
"Hey, do you know Xiaoyue?" Hu Wanning said this, leaning forward slightly, with regret in her eyes, "I heard that she is divorcing Captain Gu recently."
Any melons?!
Gu Yilin's eyes widened and he quietly pricked up his ears.
"What's going on?"
Li Xiaoyue, with her doughy personality, actually had the guts to divorce Captain Gu.
Ruan Mingfu didn't dare to think about it and thought she had heard it wrong.
"Who do you think gave her the courage?"
Hu Wanning gave Ruan Mingfu a strange look.
What she said in the hospital some time ago also touched her deeply. She never knew that a woman could live like this.
Different from other military wives.
Hu Wanning was close to Ruan Mingfu and knew more than anyone else.
Apart from other things, the fact that Ruan Mingfu can make money is enough for her to stand up straight. Even if she divorces Xie Yanzhao, she can still live well on her own.
She is different.
If Hu Wanning divorces Xu Zhu, the first hurdle she will face is her parents' family.
Thinking of this, she sighed.
Every family has its own problems.
Ruan Mingfu pointed at herself in disbelief, "Sister-in-law, you're not saying that I was the one who instigated her to file for divorce, are you?"
Hu Wanning pursed her lips and looked at her.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Good job.
Although Li Xiaoyue has a soft personality, she also knows how to resist divorce.
"Not only that," Hu Wanning continued, "I guess everyone in the military region knows now that you were the one who messed up Captain Gu and his wife."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
She is so wronged...
However, if Li Xiaoyue can really get rid of such a vicious mother-in-law, it should be considered a great achievement~
There was something wrong with the way Gu Yilin looked at Ruan Mingfu.
Damn it! Why didn't she follow him before? That way she would know what her fake bestie said.
When I get back, I’ll tell her parents about it and if I can unpack them in pairs, then I’ll unpack them in pairs.
Show off in front of her every day.
She lets them show off!
"After you said those words in the hospital, some of them started quarreling with their husbands when they got home," Hu Wanning continued to talk about what had happened to the family members recently. "The men were complaining and forming a group to sue you in front of Old Xie."
"Why, didn't Old Xie tell you?"
"No," Ruan Mingfu shook her head, "I haven't heard him say that since he came back."
Hu Wanning laughed and looked at her teasingly, "I heard from my husband, Mr. Xu, that Mr. Xie beat up all the people who came to complain to him."
Ruan Mingfu couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.
Dog man, it's pretty good~
Gu Yilin's eyes sparkled.
Soldiers fighting... I want to see it!
Back to the topic of Li Xiaoyue, the smile on Hu Wanning's face also faded.
"Tell me, how could there be such a cruel person?" She said with indignation, "Just because Captain Gu wanted to send the old woman back, he thought it was Xiaoyue who instigated it, so he rushed to the hospital and beat him up."
"What a sin! I heard that Xiaoyue was beaten so badly that her lower body was torn and she had to undergo surgery."
Hu Wanning shook her head.
She couldn't stand watching Gu's mother's behavior.
"I think it's better to send her away, so we don't have to get along with Aunt Liu, the troublemaker, and we can live a peaceful life for a while. Who knows, maybe Li... Xiaoyue won't divorce Captain Gu."
Hu Wanning was not optimistic about Li Xiaoyue's divorce.
Ruan Mingfu holds a different view from her.
"I think divorce is a good idea." To her, Captain Gu was more hateful than Mother Gu. "If Captain Gu could be trusted, Mother Gu wouldn't treat her like this."
Hu Wanning thought about it carefully.
"You're right, but Xiaoyue's current state...it's difficult."
After all, a second marriage is not as good as the first one.
After Li Xiaoyue's divorce, even if the army took pity on her and arranged a job for her, how long could she keep it? Besides, it was so embarrassing to see her ex-husband all the time.
Hu Wanning still felt it was better for them not to separate.
As long as they send the old woman who is causing trouble away, their lives will naturally get better.
"By the way, Sister Lin and I agreed to go pick mushrooms tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
“Go!”
Gu Yilin's eyes lit up.
As a city kid, she had never climbed a mountain, let alone picked mushrooms. Picking mushrooms sounded like fun, so she wanted to go!
Recalling her last experience, Ruan Mingfu did not agree immediately.
"Will there be mushrooms to pick tomorrow?"
"Didn't we dig up mushroom nests last time?" Hu Wanning thought for a moment. "It has rained these few days, so there must be some. Mushrooms are not like vegetables, some can grow overnight."
"Okay, I'll get ready."
"Yes, yes, yes," Gu Yilin was eager to go, "I heard there are wild fruits on the mountain. We must bring a big basket with us."
All the wild vegetables on the mountain had been cleared away, not to mention the wild fruits.
Ruan Mingfu couldn't bear to shatter the fantasy of this idiot and just looked at her with pity.
Tsk tsk, so naive~
…
In the hospital, Captain Gu sat on a chair smoking a cigarette, his brows furrowed tightly, his face full of worry.
Ever since Li Xiaoyue gave birth, nothing has gone smoothly.
Smoke swirled in front of his eyes. Captain Gu felt unbearable pain whenever he thought of Li Xiaoyue's expression when she mentioned divorce. He maintained the same posture for a long time without moving, like a sitting sculpture.
After a while, he stood up suddenly and strode towards the ward.
After the operation, Li Xiaoyue was moved back to the ward.
The doctor said that the woman had just undergone surgery and should not be stimulated again.
Captain Gu tried to appear in front of her as little as possible these days.
He sat on the stool next to her, looking at Li Xiaoyue's pale face with frustration in his eyes. He didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of making a noise and waking her up.
But Li Xiaoyue still woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Captain Gu.
There was indifference in her eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
The voice was flat, which made Captain Gu's heart tighten.
He had a bad time these days. His clothes looked like dried mustard tubers, and there was stubble on his chin. There were dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
He opened his lips, but didn't know what to say.
Finally, he huddled on the stool in frustration, looking so pitiful, just like a child who had done something wrong.
"Xiaoyue, I..."
Li Xiaoyue turned around and faced him with the back of her head.
The unfinished words were swallowed back into the stomach.
Captain Gu found it very difficult, even more difficult than going to the battlefield.
"Xiaoyue, listen to me," he looked at her, "...let's not get divorced, okay? Our daughter still needs her daddy."
The room was quiet for a long time, so long that when Captain Gu thought Li Xiaoyue would not answer, she spoke.
"You still know my daughter. How many times have you looked at her since she was born? How many times have you fed her? How many times have you changed her diapers?"
Captain Gu moved his lips with difficulty.
"I...I have been dealing with you and mom..."
"What's the result? What's the result of your handling?!"
Li Xiaoyue was so excited that she gasped when she pulled the wound. Captain Gu stood up anxiously and held her up with his hand, "Xiaoyue, where does it hurt? I'll call a doctor..."
"Go away!"
She slapped Captain Gu's hand away and endured the tearing pain.
"Gu Changying, you disappoint me so much."
Li Xiaoyue has been thinking particularly clearly these days.
Rather than wasting her energy fighting with the old witch, she might as well get a divorce. As Sister Ruan said, there is always a way out. No matter how hard or tiring it is, it is more comfortable than dealing with the old witch.
Looking at Li Xiaoyue's determined expression, Gu Changying was scared.
He grabbed her hand and begged: "Xiaoyue, let's not get divorced, okay..."
