Chapter 14

Zheng Hong was very arrogant, staring at Jiang Nian with eyes that seemed to want to tear him apart, but Jiang Nian lowered his head, pinching the corner of his clothes tightly with both hands, his fingertips turned white, and his thin shoulders were shaking, looking like he was scared.

Suddenly, he became even more angry: "Zheng Hong! Why are you bullying Jiang Nian? She didn't provoke you at all, but you kept scolding her widow. What do you have in mind?!"

Zheng Hong was startled when she saw Feng Mei coming over.

Feng Mei was the wife of Captain Song. She had tried to curry favor with Feng Mei before, hoping to leave a good impression in Feng Mei's heart, but now it was all ruined by that widow. Thinking of this, she was so angry that she couldn't stop shaking.

Especially when she saw Jiang Nian looking like she was bullied by her, she was even more angry.

Before she could even open her mouth to speak, the widow opposite her interrupted her.

"Sister-in-law Feng, this is my fault."

Jiang Nian slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked at Feng Mei with pity and grievance in her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled, and two tears fell down her eyelashes.

Two tear marks slid across her fair face, and coupled with that pretty face, it was so pitiful that it made people feel distressed.

Zheng Hong became even angrier!

What are you pretending for?

Where is the momentum that mocked her just now?

Zheng Hong was afraid that Jiang Nian would expose her past, so she quickly looked at Feng Mei and softened her voice, saying in a flattering tone: "Sister-in-law Feng..."

"Don't say anything!"

Feng Mei interrupted Zheng Hong rudely and said to Jiang Nian: "Don't be afraid. Tell me if you have any grievances. Even if I can't make a decision for you, there are still Deputy Commander Lu and Commander Song." After

spending a few days with Jiang Nian, she could see that this young wife was well-behaved and kind, and not someone who would take the initiative to cause trouble.

Zheng Hong was blocked from speaking, and her face froze. Especially when she saw Jiang Nian looking at her cautiously, as if he was afraid of being bullied by her again, she was so angry that she almost bit her teeth.

"That's right, Deputy Colonel Lu's sister-in-law, just tell me, there are so many of us here, are you afraid that Zheng Hong can do something to you?"

"Deputy Colonel Lu's sister-in-law, why did Zheng Hong scold you?"

The military wives around asked one after another.

Jiang Nian saw that Zheng Hong's face was as dark as it could be and felt that the time was about right. He looked at Feng Mei and his voice was a little tearful: "Sister-in-law Feng, the day when Lu Yu and I first arrived at the army, we saw Comrade Zheng Hong grabbing Captain Liu's arm. She said that she had sprained her foot and wanted Captain Liu to send her home. A few days ago, Sister-in-law Feng took me to see the private plot that the team had approved for my family, and we also met Comrade Zheng Hong. I thought her foot was healed."

Hearing this, Feng Mei looked at Zheng Hong: "Yes, didn't you run very fast that day?"

Zheng Hong clenched her fingers, her face turning blue and white.

Another military wife, holding a spatula in her hand, also said, "Yes, Zheng Hong, you took your son to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy peach cakes that day, and I ran into you on the way."

Another military wife sneered, "Whose pot is burnt?"

"Oh, my pot is burnt!"

The military wife holding the spatula kicked her son's butt at her leg, "I told you to watch the pot, why did you run out?"

After saying that, she hurried back home.

"And then?" Feng Mei looked at Jiang Nian, frowning anxiously.

Jiang Nian pursed her lips and lowered her head, saying, "Three days ago, I went to the private plot to deliver food to Lu Yu, and I met Captain Liu serving food to Comrade Zheng Hong. Comrade Zheng Hong said that she had sprained her ankle and it hadn't healed yet, so I said something to Captain Liu. Sister Feng and I saw Comrade Zheng Hong coming back from the supply and marketing cooperative on the road, and Captain Liu didn't help Comrade Zheng Hong get food because of this."

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and choked, "It's also my fault for being too talkative. Comrade Zheng Hong was right to scold me, but... but..."

Jiang Nian sobbed a few times, her head almost buried in her neck, "She shouldn't have scolded me for being an unlucky star, for bringing death to my father-in-law and husband, and for cursing that Lu Yu would be killed by me."

Feng Mei was so angry that she almost jumped up and almost pointed at Zheng Hong's nose.

"Are you speaking human language? Why are you so venomous? Who do you think wants to be a widow?"

"And have you forgotten what I told you the other day? I told you to stop bothering Captain Liu and make his family unhappy. You told him to avoid suspicion, but why didn't you listen? You even lied to Captain Liu that you had sprained your ankle and asked him to bring you food. What's wrong with you walking a few more steps?!"

She said a lot.

Zheng Hong's face turned red with embarrassment.

But she couldn't refute it because the facts and evidence were in front of her.

Moreover, Feng Mei was the daughter-in-law of Captain Song, so she did not dare to retort and offend him. She listened to the military wives and children who were watching the excitement pointing fingers at her. Two military wives and their mothers-in-law whispered to each other that she had been pestering Captain Liu for the past two years, causing Xu Yan to quarrel with Captain Liu every day.

How shameless.

Shameless.

Those who had always thought Xu Yan was unreasonable and troublesome in the past now pointed their spearheads at her.

Zheng Hong felt that she had been stripped naked by everyone, exposed naked in front of everyone, and being pointed at and laughed at.

She gritted her teeth and clenched her fingers in anger, not caring about the pain of her nails piercing her palms. She ran into the yard with her head down, turned around and closed the door. Through the wall, she heard Feng Mei say to Jiang Nian: "You are right, we don't have to cry. You can't just let Zheng Hong treat you like this today. When Lao Song and Deputy Regiment Lu come back at noon

, I will tell them about this and let them make the decision for you." When Feng Mei pulled Jiang Nian away, she said to Zheng Hong's yard: "Captain Lu will be back tonight. Tell him everything and let him discipline his wife!"

She didn't know that Captain Lu would be back tonight until Lao Song mentioned it to her yesterday.

Zheng Hong's face turned pale when she heard it.

In the past two years, she has deliberately built up a virtuous and obedient, gentle and easy-going image in the family compound. She also behaves weak and pitiful in front of Liu Qiang, saying that she was forced by her mother to marry Lu Guosheng at that time. She also misses him in her heart and hopes to marry him in the next life. She also takes advantage of Lu Guosheng's absence from the family compound all year round to find Liu Qiang for everything.

In two years, she thinks that she is a hundred times better than Xu Yan, who can only cry and make trouble, and Liu Qiang should be hers.

Liu Qiang was promoted from company commander to battalion commander in seven years, proving that he is more capable than Lu Guosheng. In the future, if he is promoted to regiment commander, he will have a greater chance of climbing up. Why should he give the person who originally belonged to her to Xu Yan?

All that she had worked so hard for was now destroyed by that widow. If Lu Guosheng came back tonight and knew that she had been hanging out with Liu Qiang behind his back for the past two years, he would definitely be furious with her.

Lu Zhijun ran out of the house and saw Zheng Hong leaning against the door. He ran over and looked up at her: "Mom, I'm hungry, I want to eat."

"You just finished a piece of peach cake and you're hungry again. You're the reincarnation of a hungry ghost!"

Zheng Hong dragged Lu Zhijun's arm back to the house in a bad mood, and hurriedly put the clothes into the cloth bag. Lu Zhijun looked at his mother's anxious look and asked in confusion: "Mom, what are you going to do?"

"Go home to see your grandma."

Zheng Hong packed her things and took Lu Zhijun away.

.

The news that Deputy Regiment Lu's sister-in-law was bullied by Zheng Hong today soon spread throughout the family compound.

In the yard.

Jiang Nian sat on a bench next to the wooden table, with his hands on his legs and pinching his fingers. Tears fell down and hit the back of his white hands, making Feng Mei scream "ouch".

"Don't cry, it makes me feel bad."

She patted Jiang Nian's thin shoulders: "Don't forget what Zheng Hong said. Who wants their man to die, right? She is just a mouthful. Wait for Captain Lu to come back and deal with her."

Jiang Nian raised her hand to wipe away her tears, raised her head to look at Feng Mei, pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, Aunt Feng."

"Thank you for what."

Feng Mei saw her smile and breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's have lunch at my house today, and you don't have to cook."

Jiang Nian said: "No, I cook quickly and it will be ready in a while."

Seeing that Feng Mei didn't stop, she continued: "Really, no, Lu Yu said he wanted to eat noodles at noon, I'll roll noodles for him."

Feng Mei said: "Okay, then I'll go back first."

"Yeah."

After Feng Mei left, Jiang Nian stopped pretending. She wiped the tears from her eyelids with her fingers. She couldn't help but admire herself.

She acted really well.

The easiest way to deal with people like Zheng Hong is to follow the path of a green tea and leave her with nowhere to go.

She washed her face and went to the kitchen to knead the dough and roll out noodles. She planned to make shredded pork noodles today.

After rolling out the noodles, she was about to pour oil and cook when a figure suddenly ran in from outside the kitchen.

Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xu Yan who stopped by the water tank, holding two eggs in her hand, and looked at her with a little gratitude in her eyes.

Jiang Nian:? ?

She asked, "Is there anything you need?"

Xu Yan pursed her lips, walked up to her, stuffed two eggs into her hand, and said thank you.

Then she turned around and ran away.

Jiang Nian looked down at the two eggs in her palms, feeling a little amused. She knew in her heart why Xu Yan thanked her.

It was written in the book that Xu Yan was a straightforward person. When a straightforward person met Zheng Hong, a woman who played tricks, naturally, she would not get any good results. She had suffered a lot at the hands of Zheng Hong in the past two years

. Her behavior today was to expose Zheng Hong's hard work for two years.

It was also to vent Xu Yan's anger.

Jiang Nian pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing. She heard footsteps outside and thought Xu Yan had returned. So she shook the eggs in her hand at the door of the kitchen and said with a smile, "No need..." Thank you.

She forced the word "thank you" back, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was suppressed in an instant. Jiang Nian stared at Lu Yu standing against the light at the door of the kitchen. The light outside

was glaring and the room was too dark so she couldn't see the expression on his face.
