The crisp sound of the slap made the people around feel a little bit of toothache.
Gu Yilin shook his hands and looked at everyone apologetically.
"I'm sorry, she's so mean, I couldn't help it."
Gao Yan covered her face which was hurt by the beating, unable to say a word. She only looked at Qi Yangyan with tears in her eyes, but he was so hard-hearted that he was not moved at all.
"Good boy!"
Gao Yan was the old lady's sweetheart, and beating her was no different from beating the old lady. She gritted her teeth and glared at Gu Yilin, spewing out dirty words.
"You stinking bitch, if you dare to hit my granddaughter, I will fight you!"
Ruan Mingfu smiled.
"The old lady is really hypocritical. She calls her own granddaughter a good girl, but she is so cruel to other people's girls."
"Sister, let's avenge your cousin," Gu Yilin looked at Gao Yan with ill intentions, like a vicious villain, "Sell her and let this old woman feel the pain of her heart."
Gao Yan covered her face weakly and helplessly, and used her eye hook to hook Qi Yangyan pitifully.
"No, why are you so vicious?"
"You dare!"
The old lady's eyes were bloodshot and she stared at Gu Yilin fiercely, as if she wanted to fight her to the death.
"You're quite ruthless when you sell out others," Gu Yilin said, not afraid of her, "but you can't bear to sell out yourself?"
Gao Yan started to cry.
"My cousin clearly ran away secretly, how did it become..."
Gu Yilin pretended to raise his hand, and her whole body was trembled, unable to utter a single word.
Ms. Luan gave a wink, and immediately a bodyguard came over, grabbed Gao Yan and dragged her away.
She was so frightened that she couldn't pretend anymore.
"Grandma, save me! They're going to sell me off, grandma! No, I don't want to go with you! Let me go!!"
Aunt Gao rushed towards Gao Yan and hugged her tightly.
"Let go, let go! What does this have to do with my daughter! Let go--!"
It would be strange if the bodyguard listened to her.
They struggled so hard that for a moment, they were unable to do anything to the mother and daughter. The other bodyguards came forward and dragged them away.
Gu Yilin walked over and lifted Gao Yan's chin proudly.
"You were quite good at barking just now, come on, bark again for me to hear?"
There was humiliation in Gao Yan's eyes.
"Cousin, what do you want to do?" Ruan Mingfu looked at the crying mother and daughter, her heart as hard as iron, "If you sell the mother and daughter, I will support you."
Before Luan Rong could express his opinion, Uncle Gao, who was beaten half to death, tightly clung to the legs of the bodyguard beside him.
"No, no, you are committing a crime!"
"You old thing, you still want to scare me. I was not brought up by being scared," Gu Yilin said, holding a leaf in his mouth, with the aura of a mountain king. "If you keep stalking, I will sell the women to the deep mountains and the men to the black mines."
Ruan Mingfu was very upset.
This fake bestie of hers is really good at bragging. There is no such thing as a black mine these days. Fearing that she would be too arrogant and herself send to jail, Ruan Mingfu tugged at her clothes.
"Be more restrained."
"Oh~"
Gu Yilin pouted and spit out the leaves in his mouth.
"Oh my God," Mr. Gao sat on the ground, crying and shouting, "I am at my age and still being bullied like this, is there any justice in the world..."
His hair is full of silver and his face shows traces of time.
The old man cried so sadly that gradually other people began to sympathize with him.
"Although the old lady has done many evil things, Uncle Gao is still a good person."
"I feel sad that I am still being bullied like this at my age..."
"Of course not. If it were my dad, he would fight these people to death!"
“…”
There are confused villagers, and naturally there are clear-headed ones:
"If Uncle Gao had taken better care of his Third Aunt, things wouldn't have gotten to this point today."
"Who can you blame? It's the old lady's fault. She's not your biological granddaughter! Even if she's not your biological granddaughter, you can't do such a wicked thing."
"commit a sin!"
"They say marry a virtuous woman. I understand now. The Gao family is likely to be ruined by the old lady..."
Gao Er's aunt hugged her three daughters tightly, with determination flashing in her eyes.
"Xiao Rong was sold by the old lady, and all the money she got was used to help uncle get connections—"
"Shut up!"
The old lady struggled desperately towards Gao Er's aunt, her eyes full of anger and anxiety. If she hadn't been caught, she would have rushed over and torn Gao Er's aunt's mouth.
Aunt Gao Er looked at the scars on her body and felt a surge of anger in her heart.
Because my uncle was the eldest son, the whole family had to pave the way for him. The old lady was extremely partial. All the good things in the house belonged to my uncle, and the second wife couldn't even think of getting a penny. Now that the house was destroyed, it was a question whether my uncle's family could get out of it unscathed.
She is afraid of nothing!
"I have nothing to do with your second uncle," she wiped the dirt off her face, "Xiaorong, your second aunt is still good to you."
After hearing this, Luan Rong was silent for a while but still nodded.
Seeing this, Ms. Luan said, "Let them go."
"Thank you, thank you," Gao Er's aunt hurriedly pulled her three children over and helped Gao Er's uncle up, "Let's go."
She didn't even take her luggage with her, and left this troubled place with her family.
Uncle Gao is very practical...
Even though he has feelings for me, the faint pain on his body is a reminder to him:
The other party is not easy to mess with!
He immediately suppressed the urge to beg for mercy.
"Don't leave!" The old lady couldn't bear to see her second son escape unscathed, so she yelled angrily, "Come back, come back to me!"
Seeing that Second Uncle Gao didn't even turn his head, the old lady couldn't tell whether she was more sad or angry.
"...Why don't you take your niece away, you heartless bastard!"
Ruan Mingfu looked at Gao Yan, whose face was swollen.
Wow, this girl is really the old lady's favorite. Even so, she hasn't forgotten her.
"Old lady, we let your second son go because he has nothing to do with this matter," Gu Yilin sneered, "Your granddaughter is so good at using moral blackmail, and she's even wearing my cousin's clothes, how could we let her go!"
Ms. Luan looked at the family and said, "Call me!"
The bodyguard took action immediately.
The Gao family group specifically targeted Uncle Gao and his son Gao Genbao.
Seeing that Uncle Gao was beaten to the point of vomiting blood and unable to speak, Aunt Gao struggled even harder and even wanted to bite people. Fortunately, the bodyguards were experienced and pulled her hair in time, which prevented her from succeeding.
"You bastards, bastards!!"
Mr. Gao was so angry that his eyes turned red and he was about to fall down, holding his chest.
Qi Yangyan, however, gave a look to the person beside him.
Immediately, someone scooped a bucket of water from the kitchen and poured it over. Grandpa Gao jumped up with a somersault, and his movements looked more agile than those of young people.
Ruan Mingfu: ...
No wonder they say old people become more cunning, he almost got away with it.
Genbao and his uncle were beaten up, and for the old lady it was a heart-wrenching pain. She no longer looked at Gao Yan with loving eyes.
She is an old lady who favors boys over girls.
If Gao Yan hadn't been smart and able to give her advice, how could the old lady have supported her?
"It was Gao Yan who suggested this," the old lady praised Gao Yan very quickly, "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have sold Luan Rong."
"Huh——"
Everyone was really shocked this time.
"How old is Gao Yan? How can she be so vicious?"
"Aunt San said it herself, so she can't be wronged."
"Don't tell me, I always feel that Gao Yan is a bit evil, and I can't explain why..."
"When she was three years old, I caught her bullying my granddaughter and she threw dirty water on her. I knew she was not a good person!"
The villagers knew the person who was speaking, and they also remembered what she said.
It was winter one year, Gao Yan was jealous of her granddaughter wearing new clothes. In the coldest days of winter, she pushed people into the ditch. She was not panicked when she was discovered, and she made eloquent excuses. Everyone thought that a three-year-old child could not lie, so they believed Gao Yan.
"I've always been so mean..."
Gao Yan pursed her lips, hating the old lady in her heart.
"Grandma, you can't put all the blame on me in order to save dad and brother."
The old lady had no idea that she could bite back and was so angry that she almost died.
"Shut up, it was obviously your idea."
There was a vacancy for the position of director in Gao's first uncle's factory, so he thought about trying his best. But it would cost 2,000 yuan to get the connection, and the old lady couldn't afford that much money. Gao's second uncle's three daughters were still young, so she set her sights on Gao Yan.
Who knew that Gao Yan had seen through the old lady's plan in advance and came up with this idea.
Luan Rong was taken away and managed to escape, but she was unlucky and met Gen Ergou, which led to what happened later.
Ms. Luan finally understood.
The old lady is not a good person, and Gao Yan is even more of a venomous snake.
"Grandma, you can't wrongly accuse me like this..."
"Throw these two people over to the police," Ms. Luan said, but she didn't have time to listen to their nonsense. "Yang Yan, I'll leave this matter to you."
"I see."
Gao Yan was startled and almost couldn't maintain the expression on her face.
"Cousin, I'm innocent. It was all grandma's idea." When she passed by Luan Rong, she actually found an opportunity and grabbed Luan Rong's hand. "Have you forgotten that when you first came, I took you out to play every day, and also took you..."
"ah!!!"
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked out by Ms. Luan. She protected Luan Rong and asked, "Are you okay?"
Luan Rong shook his head.
As long as she stayed by Ms. Luan's side, she would feel safe enough.
As long as Ms. Luan is here, she is not afraid of anything!
Luan Rong leaned his head gently on her back with full of attachment.
Ms. Luan's strength was incredible. Gao Yan, who fell to the ground, felt that her internal organs had shifted. She was in so much pain that her body was bent like a shrimp, and her eyes were filled with hatred.
"Yan Yan!"
Aunt Gao was so frightened when she saw this scene that her soul almost flew out of her body.
She hurried over and helped Gao Yan up. Looking at her pale face, she felt even more heartbroken.
"Luan Rong, I think I've treated you well. Even though your father died, we didn't despise you! Your uncle had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you don't know when you'll have another chance... You eat and drink for free at the Gao family, but you can't understand anything. Just consider it as repaying us."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Gu Yilin: "..."
She leaned towards Ruan Mingfu.
"Sister, I don't seem to have words to describe her."
The repayment is to let grandma sell herself, and then use the money to get promoted and make a fortune?
6ah!
According to this logic, whenever Huang Shiren saw his aunt Gao, he would kowtow to her and call her "Ancestor".
Mr. Gao also thought it made sense.
A big family needs to work together to prosper.
"Luan Rong, Grandpa knows that you have been wronged, but you can't be so naive."
"But... my dad saved 1,500 yuan and gave it to grandma on the first day I came."
Luan Rong's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
Silence, extraordinary silence.
Then it started to boil.
"How much? Did I hear you right? One thousand five hundred dollars?"
"Aunt San is really heartless..."
"Even after giving so much money, his third aunt still couldn't tolerate this granddaughter and even sold her out... It's cruel."
“Totally heartless!”
The onlookers looked at the Gao family with something strange in their eyes.
"What did you say?"
This was the first time that Mr. Gao had heard of this. He jumped up and questioned the old lady.
"Is what she said true? Did Xiao Rong really give you 1,500 yuan?"
The old lady pursed her lips.
His face was filled with guilt. He looked left and right, but he didn't dare to look at Mr. Gao.
His face flushed and he shouted angrily.
"explain!"
The people around were also waiting for the old lady's answer and kept quiet spontaneously.
"I did give it to him," the old lady said in a low voice, "but later the eldest brother came to me and complained about being poor, so I... I gave him all the money."
Old Master Gao's figure swayed.
He hunched over and sat on the only intact stool in the yard. He waved his hands tiredly, "You can do whatever you want with her. I don't care... I don't care!"
"Old man..."
The old lady was a strong person, and she couldn't help but shed tears after hearing this.
Old Master Gao put his hands behind his back and turned a deaf ear.
"Where's the money?"
Ms. Luan looked towards Uncle Gao.
The other person was beaten so badly that he couldn't say a word and could only look at the tall aunt.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, the tall aunt showed the same guilty expression as the old lady.
"...I took the money back to my parents' home..."
Old Master Gao closed his eyes in despair.
"Very good," Ms. Luan raised her chin slightly, "Send her in too and sue them for theft."
Aunt Gao was desperate.
She knew very well that a year and a half had passed and her parents had already spent all the money. She and Uncle Gao did not have much savings, and Mr. Gao had even given up on his wife, let alone her.
Qi Yangyan grabbed a few people and was about to leave.
A middle-aged woman pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Qi Yangyan.
"Let them go!"
Ms. Luan looked at the visitor and smiled coldly.
"Gao Cuilan, I was thinking of going to settle accounts with you, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient to come out and die."
Gao Cuilan was startled when she saw Ms. Luan.
She couldn't help but shrink back, but she seemed to have thought of something and was no longer afraid. She was about to straighten her back and show off her majesty as the eldest sister-in-law, but was interrupted by a slap from Ms. Luan.
Next, it’s Ms. Luan’s solo show.
Looking at Gao Cuilan who was beaten to the point where she had no power to fight back, Gu Yilin's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Sister, Auntie is really to my taste."
I wish I could recognize my mother right there and then.
Ruan Mingfu glanced at her and said, "Wait until Ms. Luan beats you up like she did to her, and then you'll know how powerful she is."
"Has your aunt ever hit you like this?"
"……No."
"snort!"
Gu Yilin snorted coldly.
She tried her best to restrain herself from showing a jealous look in front of her fake best friend.
"Don't be so ungrateful. If your aunt were to become my mother," Gu Yilin thought about it and felt happy, "I don't know how happy she would be."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
The two chatted, and Ms. Luan's beating of Gao Cuilan came to an end.
"You are not worthy of being Xiaorong's mother," Ms. Luan pulled Gao Cuilan's hair with great authority, "From today on, she has a father and an aunt and uncle, but she doesn't have a mother like you."
Luan Rong came over, very well behaved.
"I always listen to my aunt."
Gao Cuilan had already been beaten half to death, and after hearing these words, she was unable to catch her breath and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“You… you, you…”
"Tsk tsk tsk, tell me why you're doing this," Gu Yilin walked over, shaking his head, "But to be honest, it's really unlucky for my cousin to have a mother like you."
Gao Cuilan couldn't bear it anymore and vomited blood.
"No, isn't it? Your tolerance is so poor?"
"That's right," Ruan Mingfu came over and stabbed her in the heart again, "You've done shameless things, why can't you bear it when others talk about it?"
Gao Cuilan remarried and moved back to the town. Her husband and uncle Gao still worked in the same factory.
She just didn't believe that Gao Cuilan had no idea that Luan Rong was sold.
Ms. Luan glanced at Gao Cuilan, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and snorted coldly.
"We should go."
…
On the way back, it was Ruan's father who drove. Qi Yangyan was finishing up the work with his men and would be back later.
As soon as Ruan Mingfu arrived at the family compound, she saw the young soldier leading a few police officers standing in front of her house. On the side, there were also a few sisters-in-law who were looking in with great curiosity.
The young soldier's eyes lit up when he saw Ruan Mingfu.
"Sister-in-law, you are finally back."
Ruan Mingfu opened the door, invited a few people in, and closed the courtyard door to block the prying sight of these people.
"This is……"
"Sister-in-law," the young soldier took the water from Ms. Luan with an unkind look and explained simply, "These police comrades want to find you to understand the situation."
Ruan Mingfu thought about it carefully.
She has been very honest recently and hasn't done anything out of the ordinary... Thinking of what happened today, she took a deep breath.
How long has it been since the Gao family made trouble before they came to our door?
This speed is too fast.
"Sit down, comrades, you are welcome, sit down quickly."
The leading public security officer nodded to Ruan Mingfu.
"Don't be nervous, sister-in-law. We are just asking a few routine questions."
Ruan Mingfu nodded.
The other party's attitude was good, so she felt relieved.
"Did you go to Hehua Village a few days ago?"
Hehua Village?
Life was so comfortable that Ruan Mingfu almost forgot about this place. She was about to deny it subconsciously, but when she realized what was going on, she quickly nodded.
"yes."
"You should ask me," Ms. Luan pulled Ruan Mingfu away, "I am her mother, and I was the one who brought her to Hehua Village."
public security:"……"
Forget it, as long as you are happy.
"What are you doing there?"
This was no secret, and Ms. Luan explained in detail how she rescued Luan Rong.
"Where did you go after you left?"
"After we left, we went back to the family compound," Ms. Luan said calmly, "and later we went to the hospital, where we have our medical records..."
“…”
The police later asked a lot of questions, and Ms. Luan answered them fluently.
When talking about the return of Ruan's father, Qi Yangyan and some bodyguards, who have been busy on the construction site... they did not show any surprise on their faces.
Ruan Mingfu understood immediately.
These police officers had already investigated them thoroughly in advance.
He took a pen and wrote and drew on the paper.
After a while, they looked at each other.
The leading police officer nodded to Ms. Luan and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, Comrade Luan."
"Comrade Public Security," seeing that they were about to leave, Ruan Mingfu asked curiously, "What happened?"
Most of these police officers were retired military personnel, and they had a good impression of Ruan Mingfu, a military wife. After hearing about Luan Rong's experience, they felt a little sympathy for her.
"We received a report that a fight had occurred in Hehua Village and the situation was particularly bad."
A younger police officer said, "Thirteen people died and twenty-eight were injured. Of Lao Gen's family, only Gen Sigou is left."
Ruan Mingfu: "Really...really?"
The smile on his lips almost disappeared.
This is really good news!
public security:"……"
I understand your mood, laugh if you want to. You are so suppressed that your face looks a bit grim, and it looks scary.
Ruan Mingfu: "Ah... that's such a pity."
public security:"……"
"We found out through investigation that the villagers started fighting because of the 300 yuan given by Comrade Qi," the leading police officer gave her a deep look, "that's exactly what happened. It's time for us to leave."
Ruan Mingfu enthusiastically escorted them to the door and said, "Goodbye, Public Security Comrade."
She was relieved when everyone left. Just as she was about to leave, a nosy sister-in-law grabbed her arm.
"Sister Ruan, why did the police come to our house?"
The other sisters-in-law also pricked up their ears quietly.
"I want to know," Ruan Mingfu said with a smile on her face, "The police comrades haven't left yet, go ask them."
sister in law:"……"
Ruan Mingfu slammed the gate shut.
Neuropathy!
I have nothing to do after eating every day, so I just pay attention to what other people do.
Qi Yangyan came back at dusk. As soon as he entered the house, he met two pairs of curious eyes.
"Brother, brother, how is it going?"
Ruan Mingfu brought over a cup of tea in a flattering manner.
"They've all been sent to jail," Qi Yangyan took the drink and drank it calmly. "All the women in the Gao family have been sent to jail. I've inquired about it. Aunt Gao's sentence will be at least ten years, even if it's the lightest."
"Very good!"
Gu Yilin's eyes sparkled with joy, "Brother, you are awesome."
Qi Yangyan curled his lips and smiled.
Not only that.
He asked someone to help, and Gao Cuilan's husband's job and Uncle Gao's position as director were both lost. It's better for such scum not to come out and harm others.
"Cousin, I'll help you get revenge!"
Luan Rong smiled gently, "Thank you, brother."
"You are welcome."
"Cousin, you should live a good life with mom from now on," Ruan Mingfu said with a smile, "If someone bullies you, tell them. If it really doesn't work, call me and tell me."
Luan Rong nodded, "Okay."
She smiled from the bottom of her heart.
"Thank you, cousin," Luan Rong shook Ruan Mingfu's hand, "I will."
…
The next day, Ruan Mingfu got up early.
Knowing that Ms. Luan was leaving, she was in a bad mood that night. She tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep. It was midnight when Ruan Mingfu finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep for a while.
Arriving at the station, Ruan Mingfu's eyes turned red when she saw Ms. Luan and Mr. Ruan.
"Why don't you stay a little longer?"
Ms. Luan touched her hair.
"Okay, it's not like we won't see each other again," she tapped Ruan Mingfu's head, "You should take good care of yourself and don't wait for Xiao Xie to do everything for you."
Ruan Mingfu's eyes were still red.
She covered her head that was hit and looked at Ms. Luan with dissatisfaction.
"Mom, whose mom are you?"
"I wish I didn't have a troublesome daughter like you," Ms. Luan glared at her, "Remember what I just said, someone will report your every move to me."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
We can't live like this anymore.
"My daughter, Dad really can't bear to leave you," Father Ruan wiped his tears, "How about... come with me..."
Before he could finish his words, he was elbowed by Ms. Luan.
"What nonsense?"
My daughter is already married, how could she still follow her old father around?
Mr. Ruan felt wronged, but he didn't say it.
"Dad, why don't you stay?"
Father Ruan: “…”
snort!
Seeing Father Ruan's hesitation, Ruan Mingfu understood what he meant.
Normally, the daughters are different, but compared with her father's great cause of building a strong country, his dream of a strong country is more important.
Oh, man!
The car drove over, and Xie Yanzhao carried the luggage of Ruan's father and Ms. Luan into the car. Ruan Mingfu followed behind him, watching him put the luggage away one by one.
Only then did she realize that her parents were really leaving.
Ruan Mingfu's eyes were filled with tears and she glanced back abruptly.
"Mom, this is the money I prepared for you."
Like Qi Yangyan, she also took out a passbook.
"Keep it for yourself," Ms. Luan said, "Your brother gave us a lot, why do we need you to give it to me?"
Ruan Mingfu: "…what he gave is his, and this is mine!"
Having said that, he stuffed the passbook into Ms. Luan's hand in a huff.
People around cast curious glances at him.
Qi Yangyan prepared a soft sleeper compartment for Father Ruan and Ms. Luan. Nowadays, almost all the people who can sit here are cadres. They are of good quality and will not show their curiosity even if they are curious.
"Dad, Mom, the food is in this bag."
Xie Yanzhao was afraid that they didn't recognize it, so he pointed out the black bag.
"I will take good care of my aunt and uncle," Luan Rong brought the bag to her feet, then took Ruan Mingfu's hand, "Cousin, I'm here."
Ruan Mingfu nodded.
"Remember to call me when you get there..."
A crisp bell rang not far away, which was the signal to urge the people who were seeing off the bus to get off.
Ruan Mingfu was reluctant to look at them, "Then I'll leave first?"
"Go ahead."
"I'm really leaving."
Ms. Luan: "...get out!"
Fortunately, Ruan Mingfu was hugged by Xie Yanzhao and walked away from her. If she had heard this word, she would have made a fuss again.
Not long after, the train started moving.
Ruan Mingfu looked at the slowly moving train and felt a little depressed.
"Let's go."
In the car, Father Ruan took the passbook from Ms. Luan and opened it. The amount was nothing compared to what Qi Yangyan had given, but Father Ruan still felt a little sad.
"Wife, wuwuwuwu... our daughter has grown up," Father Ruan couldn't control the abundant emotions in his body and threw himself into Ms. Luan's arms, "she knows to spend money on her parents, wuwuwuwu... how much suffering did she have to endure to understand this truth..."
Ms. Luan was very upset.
She struggled hard, but Father Ruan held her so tightly that she couldn't get away at all.
"Wow, wow, wow...wife, our daughter is so pitiful..."
Father Ruan looked at the passbook in his hand with tears in his eyes and cried even harder.
"No, I want to provide a good life for my daughter, make lots of money, and let her spend every penny she wants... wuwuwu, my daughter..."
Ms. Luan: “…”
Not only was she frowning, even the passengers couldn't help but look at Ruan's father.
Ms. Luan: “…”
I have lost all my face in this life!
Ruan Mingfu returned to the family compound and felt something was missing when she looked at the empty compound. Wangcai still ran over enthusiastically and squatted at her feet, exposing his soft belly.
It rubbed its tail against her smooth ankles, stuck out its pink tongue, and stared at her without blinking with its two black grape-like eyes.
...Who can bear this?
Ruan Mingfu rubbed Wangcai from head to toe.
"Hello again."
She stretched out her slender and tender fingers and touched Wangcai's wet nose.
After seeing off Ruan's father, Ms. Luan, and Gu Yilin, Ruan Mingfu spent the whole day in depression. Fortunately, she didn't let herself stay in the depression for too long and recovered quickly.
That day, she got up early on purpose. When she walked to the kitchen, she found that Xie Yanzhao had already started working.
"It will be ready soon."
After being scolded by Ms. Luan, she had no intention of sitting at the table and waiting for food as she did before.
She tied her hair up, "Let me help you."
Maybe it was because the dog man was resting today, so the breakfast was very rich. In addition to noodles, there was also porridge and sweet potatoes from the canteen.
"No, I can handle this," Xie Yanzhao grabbed the hand that Ruan Mingfu extended to him, "Don't feel burdened. It will remain the same as before."
The dog man's hands were rough, and it felt stinging when he held her hands.
"Really...really?"
"Of course it's true," Xie Yanzhao said seriously, "You don't have to force yourself to change, you're fine the way you are."
He knew very well the character of the person he would spend his life with, and he had already prepared himself.
A smile appeared on Ruan Mingfu's delicate and beautiful face.
I felt so happy in my heart that I wanted my tail to go up to the sky.
"What if you really dislike me in the future like Ms. Luan said?"
Xie Yanzhao: “…”
He clenched his little hands, and after a long time he finally uttered a word.
"Have a meal."
"……oh."
After breakfast, the sun rose.
Xie Yanzhao moved the quilt out and hung it on the fence. Wang Manman, who was in the next yard, happened to see this scene, and then looked at the pile of sheets and quilts in her hands, and she was immediately furious.
She piled these things on a shelf nearby and went back into the house.
When he saw Captain Qiao slumped on the sofa, his anger grew even higher.
Wang Manman walked over angrily and snorted at Captain Qiao.
Captain Qiao was confused: "..."
Seeing Wang Manman with a sullen face, he had no choice but to go over.
"Wife, what's wrong? Who can bear your anger?"
Wang Manman glared at him.
Captain Qiao came over flatteringly, "Wife, tell me, I will teach them a lesson for you!"
"next door."
next door?
Captain Qiao thought about it for a moment and suddenly remembered who lived next door.
He swallowed hard, "Wife, don't joke with me. That's Captain Xie. He's the best soldier in the entire military region. Even if ten of me were tied together, we wouldn't be his match."
Wang Manman became even angrier.
She grabbed Captain Qiao's ear and said, "You know you are no match for them, so you don't learn how they treat their wives!"
It's fine if you can't beat others, but you can't even beat this?
"What?"
Captain Qiao was confused.
Wang Manman threw the ball of yarn on the table over there.
"Go out and see for yourself!"
Captain Qiao scratched his hair and went out obediently.
He lay down beside his own fence, staring at the next door.
But Xie Yanzhao took apart the quilt and took out the cotton pads. He then threw the quilt cover and bed sheet into the bucket, and then threw his clothes in as well...
Captain Qiao's eyes widened.
He looked at this man who was good at housework in disbelief... Was this still the Xie Yanzhao he remembered?
Help!
For fear of being discovered, Captain Qiao simply squatted in the corner of his house, leaving only his eyes exposed.
"...Xie Yanzhao, put your coat together with the quilt you took off."
A soft voice that sounded harmless was heard.
Captain Qiao: ...This is my sister-in-law, right?
How daring.
Just when he thought that Captain Xie would severely teach his sister-in-law a lesson and was planning to persuade them to stop fighting, he saw that the wise and brave Xie Yanzhao in his mind took out the clothes with a guilty conscience and put them in a small basin beside him.
Captain Qiao: “…”
Oh no, where is he, the big, mighty and domineering Captain Xie?
Just when Captain Qiao was feeling disillusioned, Xie Yanzhao came to the well with his changed clothes, drew water skillfully, and began to wash clothes.
Captain Qiao: “…”
No, the person in front of me is definitely not Captain Xie.
No, absolutely not!
He walked into the house with a wandering look on his face, and felt that it was not enough, so he slapped himself hard in the face.
The crisp sound started led Wang Manman who was drinking water.
She was full of question marks.
I just want Captain Qiao and Captain Xie to learn from this. There's no need to react so strongly and slap myself in guilt...
"Old Joe, are you okay?"
Although Wang Manman was aloof and a little spoiled, she could tell the difference between good and bad. Since Captain Qiao treated her well and had good conditions, Wang Manman was naturally willing to live with him.
"Wife, I think there's something wrong with my eyes. Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Wang Manman's heart tightened.
If a soldier has problems with his eyes, he has no choice but to retire.
"What's going on?" She couldn't sit still and turned around anxiously, "How do you feel now... Let's go to the hospital, let's go..."
Wang Manman didn't want Captain Qiao to lose his future because of his eye problem, so she pulled him up and walked towards the door.
Captain Qiao still looked shocked. He held Wang Manman's hand and spoke slowly.
"Wife, you said there was nothing wrong with my eyes, so how come I saw Captain Xie washing clothes?"
Wang Manman: “…”
She raised her hand and slapped Captain Qiao in annoyance.
"Hiss..." Captain Qiao felt the pain, "Wife, why did you hit me for no reason?"
"I'm hitting you!"
Wang Manman picked up a feather duster beside her and hit Captain Qiao with it.
"There's something wrong with your eyes... I think your life is in trouble!"
Captain Xie was a very capable person, and he helped his wife with work honestly when he got home. As for Captain Qiao, he lay down like a big boss as soon as he got home, wishing he could even feed her food.
The more you compare yourself to others, the more you will die!
Wang Manman was so angry that she beat him even harder.
Captain Qiao ran away with his head in his hands, still begging for mercy.
"Wife, I was wrong...I was really wrong..."
"What did you do wrong?"
Captain Qiao: “…”
He couldn't answer and was spanked several more times. Wang Manman looked at Captain Qiao, feeling very disappointed with him.
"Learn from the neighbor next door," she threw the feather duster aside, "You'll be responsible for all the work inside and outside the house today!"
Captain Qiao grimaced and touched the place where he was hurt by the beating.
Rarely, he began to feel resentment towards Xie Yanzhao...
The dog man does housework in an orderly manner.
He washed the quilts and other large items first, and then washed the clothes. These clothes were not dirty, so he just had to rub them a few times. Especially the pajamas, Ruan Mingfu liked to be clean, and she changed them almost every night.
Xie Yanzhao looked at the silky red cloth in his hand and his old face turned red.
He had seen Ruan Mingfu wearing this pajamas.
Black hair and red skirt, her skin is particularly white. Wearing this dress, Ruan Mingfu is as beautiful as a fairy...
Xie Yanzhao's eyes moved slightly, and his Adam's apple rolled rapidly.
Squirrel——
Xie Zhaozhao: “…”
His grip was too strong, and the fragile fabric could not withstand such a tossing, and was forced to split in two...
It was rare that Xie Yanzhao was stunned for a moment.
"...Xie Yanzhao, what's wrong with you?" Ruan Mingfu came out of the room, a little dissatisfied, "I called you for a long time but you didn't respond."
He stuffed the clothes in his hand into the basin as if he was guilty of a crime.
Xie Yanzhao cleared his throat and said, "I was thinking about something..."
"oh?"
Ruan Mingfu looked at him suspiciously.
Even though his palms were sweating from nervousness, the man didn't show it on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Ruan Mingfu then withdrew her gaze and said, "I want to ask you, do you want to dismantle the bed?"
Ms. Luan, Mr. Ruan, and Gu Yilin have all left, and Qi Yangyan will not come to the family compound to spend the night. In the short term, there should be no guests at home.
"Tear it down, it's just right to dry it together with the quilt," Xie Yanzhao cleared his throat, "Don't move, let me do it."
Ruan Mingfu nodded with satisfaction.
To be honest, she just likes the domineering nature of men who don't require her to worry about anything and can take care of everything for her.
Only after seeing Ruan Mingfu leave did Xie Yanzhao breathe a sigh of relief.
He took out the clothes and looked at the big tear on the skirt with some distress.
This dress was made by Ruan Mingfu herself, and there is no similar one available outside... So the question is, how can he find an identical one without Ruan Mingfu noticing?
Xie Yanzhao: “…”
One morning, Ruan Mingfu and Xie Yanzhao worked together to clean the house inside and out.
Looking at the brighter home, her mood improved a little.
Ruan Mingfu was just about to take a break when a young man came in from the door. He was wearing a military uniform and had fair skin. He looked like a new recruit who had just entered the barracks.
"Why are you here?"
Xie Yanzhao seemed to be very familiar with the other person. He patted his shoulder enthusiastically and asked him to sit down.
"elder brother..."
Ruan Mingfu's hand trembled slightly as she poured tea.
"elder brother?"
"Hello, sister-in-law." He scratched his hair shyly, "I am my brother's cousin. My name is Bai Qinghua."
The case has been solved. It was someone from Grandpa Bai's side.
"So you're my cousin," Ruan Mingfu's attitude became more enthusiastic at a speed visible to the naked eye, "Then don't leave at noon today, stay here for lunch."
"this..."
Bai Qinghua hesitated for a moment, and only agreed after looking at Xie Yanzhao.
"Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law."
After chatting for a while, Ruan Mingfu finally realized that Bai Qinghua was not a new recruit at all, he had been in the army for a long time. It was only because he could not get a tan and looked like a college student in his early twenties that he was often misunderstood.
But in fact, Bai Qinghua is not much younger than Xie Yanzhao.
Ruan Mingfu had never seen him because he had recently gone out on a mission and had just returned a while ago.
He rubbed his hands awkwardly, looking shy.
"Sister-in-law, I actually came here today to find someone."
