Chapter 15

This was the first time Lu Yu saw Jiang Nianxiao.

She looked very pretty when she smiled.

During this time together, it was also the first time he saw her lively and energetic as she should be at her age. She was not like before, she kept her head down and kept silent when talking or doing things, as if there was an invisible wall between her and everything outside.

He also had a vague feeling that Jiang Nian was a little afraid of him.

"You're back, and the meal is almost ready."

Jiang Nian lowered her head to hide the embarrassment in her eyes, turned around and put the eggs in the basin, preparing to pour oil to cook. Lu Yu glanced at the eggs in the basin and remembered that when he was about to get home just now, Xu Yan from next door ran out of the door.

I think it should be Xu Yan who sent it.

He walked to the stove and sat down to light a fire. Through the white smoke from the hot oil, he saw Jiang Nian's red eyes from crying, and a chill gradually rose in his eyes.

Lu Yu added dry firewood to the stove: "Sister-in-law, Zheng Hong bullied you."

It didn't sound like a question, but rather a repetition of something.

Jiang Nian paused in her cooking and bit her lower lip lightly. It was not known whether it was because of the sting of the chili or because she felt wronged, but tears welled up in her eyes again. She

wanted to cry but couldn't, which was very pitiful.

Lu Yu looked up, tightened his hand holding the dry firewood, and said to her: "I will let Zheng Hong give you an explanation and will not let her bully you in vain."

It was a promise to her.

She is his sister-in-law, and she cannot be bullied by others. When he decided to bring her to the army, he was not only afraid that she would repeat the mistakes of her previous life, but also did not want her to be wronged again.

Jiang Nian did not say anything, but just loosened her lower lip that was bitten by Bei Yi and continued to stir the dishes in the pot.

When cooking the noodles, Lu Yu stood up and stopped her: "Let me do it."

Jiang Nian did not argue with him, turned around and walked out of the kitchen and ran to the well, turned her back to the kitchen and washed her face again. When she covered her face with her hands, she could not suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth.

It is too difficult to hold back laughter.

In the kitchen, Lu Yu took the noodles out and put them in the bowl, put a lot of meat in Jiang Nian's bowl, carried two bowls to the yard, and put the bowl with more meat in front of Jiang Nian.

Looking at the big bowl of noodles and a pile of meat.

Jiang Nian: ...

I can't finish it, I can't finish it at all.

She looked at Lu Yu's bowl, which was mostly vegetable juice and vegetables, without much meat. She picked up the chopsticks and whispered, "Too much, I can't finish it, I'll give you some."

In the time it took to say this, Lu Yu had eaten half a bowl of noodles.

He looked at the rice in Jiang Nian's bowl, put down the bowl and stood up: "Wait for me."

Jiang Nian guessed what he was going to do, took away his chopsticks, and before he came over, she quickly picked up most of the meat and noodles in the bowl. When Lu Yu came over with a pair of clean chopsticks, Jiang Nian had already started eating.

Lu Yu looked at the noodles and most of the shredded meat in the bowl, and then looked at Jiang Nian who was eating noodles with his head down, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

After lunch, Lu Yu washed the pots and bowls before leaving. When he left, he said to Jiang Nian, "I will be back later tonight."

Jiang Nian was sitting by the well washing clothes. Hearing this, she whispered, "Okay."

After Lu Yu left, Jiang Nian stood up and pounded her waist with her hands behind her back.

Without a washing machine, washing by hand is both tiring and tiring. It's summer now, but what if it's winter?

When she thought about staying here, she felt that her eyes were getting dark.

Not long after Lu Yu left, Feng Mei came over. Seeing Jiang Nian hanging clothes in the yard, she didn't look as uncomfortable as before lunch, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She walked over, bent down, picked up the clothes in the basin, shook them, and helped her hang them together.

Jiang Nian saw someone suddenly appear next to him and smiled, "Sister Feng."

"Hey."

Feng Mei grabbed the clothesline and came to Jiang Nian: "What did Deputy Commander Lu say?"

Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and asked, "Did Sister Feng tell Lu Yu that he knew about this?"

Otherwise, how would he know?

And as soon as he entered the kitchen, he got straight to the point.

Feng Mei said, "You don't need me to tell you. The news has spread all over the family compound. My husband, Old Song, heard others talking about it on the way back. He didn't even eat a few bites of his meal. He was

so angry that he slammed the table and said that he would talk to Captain Lu when he comes back tonight. He said that this is affecting the atmosphere of the entire regiment. Zheng Hong has serious ideological problems and must be dealt with seriously." "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Feng Mei snorted and laughed, "Zheng Hong took her son back to her parents' home. She must be afraid that Captain Lu will come back to settle accounts with her in the evening. But even if she runs back to her parents' home, it's useless. Captain Lu will go to Zheng's house in person to bring her back."

Jiang Nian was thinking about Lu Yu telling her to come back later tonight when she left. He should have a talk with Captain Song and Captain Lu tonight.

Feng Mei touched her arm: "You haven't told me what Deputy Colonel Lu said? You are half his sister-in-law. You have been bullied so much, but he didn't show any expression?"

Jiang Nian smiled: "Lu Yu said he would not let me be bullied in vain."

Feng Mei stopped talking: "That's fine."

Captain

Lu came back at seven o'clock in the evening, and heard what happened today as soon as he came back.

And he only found out today that during the two years that Zheng Hong stayed in the family compound, she shamelessly hooked up with Captain Liu when he was away! If

he knew that Zheng Hong had met Captain Liu and was about to get married, he would never marry Zheng Hong. During the time when he and Zheng Hong were about to get married, Captain Liu was always so angry every time he saw him. He wondered how he had offended him.

Who would have thought that I would only find out what was going on here after I got married.

When Camp Commander Lu returned to the family courtyard, he first went to his own house to take a look. As he expected, the woman had returned to her parents' home.

After he got married, he felt sulky when he learned about what Zheng Hong and Liu Qiang had seen, so when his mother-in-law asked Zheng Hong to stay at her parents' house to help with the work, he agreed without hesitation. If Zheng Hong hadn't come to the army to cry to him two years ago, he would not have gone to Zheng's house to pick her up.

When Camp Commander Lu came out of his home, his gastrodia was numb and black.

He rushed to Commander Song's house. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Commander Song sitting on the bench next to the square table, holding an enamel jar in his hand to drink water. When he saw him come in, he snorted.

Deputy Colonel Lu sat on the bench, his handsome face looking a bit stern under the warm yellow light.

"Captain Song, I know everything about Zheng Hong and Deputy Regiment Commander Lu's sister-in-law."

Captain Lu looked at Lu Yu and said, "Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, I know that what you say now is just empty talk. I will bring Zheng Hong back tomorrow and let her apologize to your sister-in-law in person."

Lu Yu's face was cold, and he looked at Captain Lu with a cold and serious look: "Zheng Hong is a soldier's wife, and she keeps saying that my sister-in-law is... "She is a bereaved family, and killed her husband and father-in-law. Her every word and action reveals her bad thoughts. Publicly, as the deputy regiment commander, I cannot tolerate a military wife who damages the reputation of the organization and refuses to change her ways. Privately, Jiang Nian is my sister-in-law. She has been bullied to the point of leaving her home. I cannot just apologize and let it go."

Every time Lu Yu said something, Captain Lu's momentum diminished.

Captain Song threw the enamel pot heavily on the table and glared at Captain Lu with a fierce face: "Look at what your wife has done! Our regiment has been laughed at by the other regiments today!"

Captain Lu frowned and asked Lu Yu with his head down: "Then what do you say? I'll listen to you."

Lu Yu said: "Let Zheng Hong write a self-criticism and apologize to Jiang Nian in front of the whole regiment." He looked at Captain Lu's face that froze in an instant, and his eyes showed coldness: "When she made a big mistake, she should have thought about bearing the consequences. Of course, if Zheng Hong can't read, Captain Lu can write it for her." Captain

Lu held back and said nothing. If he asked Zheng Hong to review and apologize in front of the whole regiment, it would be tantamount to completely losing his face.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Yu continued, "Zheng Hong's mistakes were minor but not minor. As a military wife, she failed to be strict with herself and deliberately sabotaged the marriage between Captain Liu and Comrade Xu Yan. She insulted and cursed the widow of the martyr Comrade Xu Cheng, deliberately provoked and ruined the harmony between military wives."

He looked at Captain Lu and said in a deep voice, "We must let her make a profound self-examination in front of the whole regiment, so as to have a shocking effect and make her remember it!"

Captain Song also looked at Captain Lu.

The victim of this incident was Lu Yu's sister-in-law, and he should come forward to solve it.

Captain Lu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth before letting go: "Okay! I'll bring her back tomorrow!" After leaving Captain Song's house, Captain Lu turned his head and looked at Captain Liu's yard with a complicated look.
