Chapter 80

"Lu Yu..."

Jiang Nian bit her lower lip, lowered her eyes and dared not look at Lu Yu's sticky and scarlet eyes. She put her hands on his shoulders, slowly moved closer, and kissed him awkwardly. Lu Yu's breath suddenly tightened, and he put his arms around her slender waist. He turned over and completely overturned the status of the two.

Jiang Nian exclaimed, looking at Lu Yu approaching from above, her heart beating violently.

There was no light in the room, but the thin moonlight still allowed the two to see each other's outlines. Lu Yu leaned over and kissed him with a warm kiss, which was like a wave on the rippling lake. Jiang Nian grabbed Lu Yu's strong arms with both hands, and the muscles under his fingers were cold and hard as iron.

Lu Yu played slowly, looking at Jiang Nian's emotional eyebrows and slightly raised neck, and asked in a low voice: "Does it hurt?"

Jiang Nian's cheeks flushed, and he shook his head shyly: "No."

Seeing the smile in Lu Yu's eyes, Jiang Nian turned his head away embarrassedly, and as the rhythm moved, the fingers holding Lu Yu gradually exerted force.

Jiang Nian woke up late the next day.

When she opened her eyes, the sun had already shone through the curtains, and the room was bright with a faint red light.

Lu Yu had already left. After the night ended, he carried her to the bathroom to wash up and toss until midnight before going to bed. She didn't expect to get up so early. Jiang Nian turned over and put on her clothes. She subconsciously looked at the mirror hanging on the wall. Except for her neck, which was flawless, there were marks everywhere below her neck.

Jiang Nian: ...

She smiled and went to the bathroom to wash up, then went to the kitchen to take a look. Lu Yu had already prepared breakfast and was warming it in the pot. After breakfast, Jiang Nian was thinking about going to Tian Mai's house to see Kuang Xiu. As soon as she opened the door, she bumped into He Yue opposite her. He Yue smiled and said, "You are finally up. I wanted to look for you this morning, but Captain Lu said you were still asleep."

Jiang Nian smiled uncomfortably: "I embroidered a little late last night."

He Yue said, "It's better to embroider less at night. Not only does it waste electricity, but it also hurts your eyes."

Jiang Nian nodded, and heard He Yue say, "Thank you so much for last night. I heard from Fang Xia that you invited them to your house for dinner last night. I didn't know what to do. I don't know how to thank you."

Jiang Nian said, "They are all small things." She asked about Kuang Xiu: "How is Kuang Xiu?"

He Yue leaned against the door frame and waved her hand: "We found her at almost midnight last night. She was at the educated youth point of the brigade of the second commune next door. Fortunately, we met good people. Xiu'er was like that. If she met a bad person and was bullied by him, she would not know who to find. Tian Mai and Deputy Head Kuang had a fight over this last night. Deputy Head Kuang felt bad and stood there to let Tian Mai beat him."

Jiang Nian had met Deputy Head Kuang several times since she came here. He had a loud voice and was straightforward. He was not a bad person. He was also sad that his daughter was lost.

He Yue continued, "We sent her home last night. Guess what her old lady was doing?" Before Jiang Nian could guess, she snorted and continued, "She was sleeping soundly at home. Then when she came to open the door, she said she was lost. She said she was nine years old and she has legs. She couldn't come back by herself. Why did she send so many people to look for her? A money-loser was so troublesome. Tian Mai started fighting with the old lady at that time."

Jiang Nian: ...

This old lady is really a piece of shit. She has the old-fashioned idea of ​​favoring boys over girls.

After talking to He Yue for a few words, Jiang Nian went back to embroider. She originally wanted to go see Kuang Xiu, but she also considered the old lady's temper and was afraid that she would make trouble if she went, so she stayed at home to embroider. When it was almost noon, she specially made mixed sauce noodles that Lu Yu liked. When it was almost noon, she went to the private plot.

On the way, she met Lan Hui who was returning from the private plot. She was holding a small shovel and carrying a backpack. When she saw Jiang Nian, she smiled and said, "Are you bringing food to Lu Yu?"

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Yes."

There were several military wives with Lan's wife. Everyone knew Jiang Nian and looked at her enviously.

Look at this young wife, she is beautifully dressed and pretty, with white skin, as tender as tofu. All the work in the private plot is done by Captain Lu, who plows the land and plants vegetable seedlings, and never lets his wife go to the fields. Which man in this courtyard can love his wife as much as Captain Lu does?

They just came back from planting vegetable seedlings in the private plot, passed by Jiang Nian's private plot, and saw Captain Lu coming straight to the private plot to plant vegetable seedlings after returning from the regiment.

Lan Hui smiled and said, "Lu Yu is planting vegetable seedlings."

After that, she laughed and joked with several military wives, "Captain Lu is really a good example of how our military region loves its wives. When I go back, I must tell my family about congratulations. Look at Captain Lu, and then look at him. I have followed him for so many years, but he doesn't even know which way his own private plot is facing."

Jiang Nian smiled.

After parting with Sister Lan and the others, they hurried to their private plots. Lu Yu was very fast and had already planted two rows. She walked to the well, put down her lunch box, and shouted, "Lu Yu, it's time to eat."

The man half-knelt on the ground, with his military uniform folded neatly on the ground. Hearing this, he planted the seedlings in his hand before coming over. He went to the well to press water to wash his face and hands. Jiang Nian glanced at Lu Yu's hunched back, and thought of his forbearing and restrained rudeness last night. Her heart beat uncontrollably for a few times, and then she put down the lunch box. He opened his mouth and whispered, "I made your favorite noodles with mixed sauce."

Lu Yu said, "Okay."

He knew Jiang Nian hadn't eaten yet, so he told her to go back and eat. Jiang Nian said, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

She thought of the first time she came to the private plot to deliver food to Lu Yu. At that time, she squatted under the tree and didn't dare to look at Lu Yu's eyes that could almost see through people's hearts. She racked her brains to find excuses to urge Lu Yu and Sun Ying to meet, and even brought up her father-in-law to persuade Lu Yu to get married as soon as possible.

Thinking of that, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lu Yu raised his eyes to look at her: "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Nian lowered his body, put his hands on his cheeks, looked into Lu Yu's dark eyes, and said without hesitation: "I'm thinking about the matchmaking between you and Sun Ying."

Lu Yu: ...

He lowered his head and took a mouthful of noodles, then took a sip of water, and looked at Jiang Nian: "I'm not familiar with her."

Whether in the last life or this life, he and Sun Ying will always be people on two lines. Even if there is an invisible force that pulls the two of them to a rope, he will fight with his flesh and blood to split the rope into two ropes.

Lu Yu thought of what happened before his death in the last life, took another sip of water, swallowed it hard, and looked at Jiang Nian. The bottom of his dark eyes was complicated and others couldn't understand: "Do you want a child?"

Jiang Nian:? ? ?

She didn't expect the topic would suddenly turn to this.

But when Lu Yu mentioned it, she also remembered that in the two months since they got married, Lu Yu had always been very careful in that aspect, as if he was deliberately avoiding the issue of having children. She suddenly had a thought in her subconscious: Lu Yu didn't want children. Jiang Nian

's heart skipped a beat, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

She looked at Lu Yu, her lips moved a few times, and finally followed Lu Yu's words and said, "I don't want to at the moment."

Not wanting is one thing, but it's another for the other party to take the initiative to bring it up.

Jiang Nian quickly lowered her eyelashes, and suddenly felt her eyes were a little hot. She picked up a piece of tree trunk and drew circles on the ground. She felt like laughing. Two years ago, she was still thinking about how to match Lu Yu with the heroine of the original book, but this year she has already married him and is discussing the issue of children.

Lu Yu tightened the lid of the lunch box, went to the well to wash up, walked over and took Jiang Nian's hand. During this time, Jiang Nian had been holding the tree branch and lowered her head. At this moment, she didn't care whether there was anyone around the private plot. After kissing her forehead, he hugged her and said in a rare hoarse voice in a calm atmosphere: "We can have a child in three years, okay?"

Jiang Nian was stunned, and the doubts in her heart suddenly became greater than the discomfort.

She didn't understand why it had to be three years later. She wanted to ask Lu Yu, but she didn't know how to

start. She pursed her lips and was silent for a long time before she said, "I'll listen to you." Lu Yu said, "I have a mission next week and will be back in half a month at most, or a month at the latest. I've told Chen Yao and Captain Fang about watering the fields and asked them to help. I'll treat them to a meal when I come back."

Jiang Nian didn't ask Lu Yu where he was going or what he was going to do. She knew these were military secrets, so she nodded gently in his arms, "Okay."

She reached out and hugged him. She looked at Lu Yu's thin waist, blinked in his arms, then raised her head and smiled, "Today is Friday, are you leaving next Monday?"

Lu Yu said, "Yes."

He kissed Jiang Nian on the forehead and smiled, "I'll call you as soon as I'm free."

Jiang Nian smiled, "Okay."

She left the private plot with her lunch box. As soon as she reached the family building, she ran into Luo Chengyi, the deputy head of the Fourth Regiment. Behind her followed a little girl who was about nine years old. She had two high braids, wore a pink and yellow jacket, and carried a schoolbag. She didn't look like Luo Chengyi, and probably looked like her mother.

The three of them entered the family building one after another. The little girl heard the footsteps behind her, turned around to look at Jiang Nian, then smiled with a familiar look on her face. Jiang Nian also smiled. Luo Chengyi turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Nian. He said, "This is my daughter, Luo Xiaoyue. She just came back from her grandmother."

He said to her, "Xiaoyue, call me Aunt Jiang."

Luo Xiaoyue smiled sweetly at Jiang Nian: "Aunt Jiang, you are so beautiful."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Walking to the stairs . When they parted, He Yue just opened the door and came out. Luo Xiaoyue saw He Yue and also smiled, calling her sweetly, "Auntie He."

He Yue smiled and said, "I'm back."

After Luo Chengyi and his son came home and closed the door, He Yue whispered, "Oh, I guess there's something going on at home again."

Jiang Nian became curious: "What do you mean?"

She saw that Luo Xiaoyue's child was very lively. If she could communicate with her properly and make it clear that she would not love her less even if she had a second child, there shouldn't be any problem.

He Yue said, "Luo Chengyi's new wife is no good. She has a cold face all day long, and acts as if everyone owes her money. And Xiaoyue's child is the same. Look how obedient the child is, and greets everyone with a smile. The fact that the child is so angry that she says hurtful words shows how excessive Guan Lu's behavior is. She just relies on her youth and thinks she is small, so she insists that Xiaoyue give in to her."

Jiang Nian didn't expect these factors to be involved. When she heard Tian Mai say that Guan Lu was sent back to her parents' home because of Luo Xiaoyue's anger, she thought the child was difficult to get along with.

He Yue said, "Look, Deputy Captain Luo has brought Xiao Yue back. I guess his wife is back too. Our floor is getting lively."

She held a shovel in her hand, glanced at the aluminum lunch box in Jiang Nian's hand, and smiled, "You are really enjoying yourself. Captain Lu is planting seedlings and weeding the fields to grow vegetables and you don't have to take care of him. Look at my husband. If he is diligent, he will just water the fields. As soon as he comes home, he will sit on the stool like the eldest master and wait for me to bring him the meal."

Jiang Nian really couldn't respond to this. No matter how she said it, it would be considered showing off, so she smiled and said nothing.

She went home, had dinner, washed the dishes, and then started embroidering in the house, but she couldn't calm down. She kept thinking about what Lu Yu said in the afternoon. Why did he have to have a child in three years?

Was it because these three years were his promotion period?

But this had nothing to do with having a child.

Jiang Nian couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it. If she continued like this, she would feel that having a child would make her anxious.

Lu Yu came back very late at night. It was almost summer, but it was still cool at night. He exercised outside for a while, and only went into the house when he felt hot. He opened the quilt and lay on the bed. Looking at Jiang Nian who was sleeping soundly, he held her in his arms and rubbed her belly.

Jiang Nian opened her eyes dazedly, looking at Lu Yu who was so close to her. She leaned against his arms and found a comfortable sleeping position. Just as she fell asleep, a woman's roar suddenly came from outside the house.

"Luo Chengyi! This is what you promised us not to let her disturb us anymore. Why did you come again in the middle of the night!"

"Do you have the fun of lying to me?!"

The door slammed shut with a deafening sound, and the person in his arms was startled. Lu Yu kissed Jiang Nian's trembling eyelashes: "The quarrel next door has nothing to do with us, go to sleep."

Jiang Nian:...

He Yue was right, this floor will never be quiet from now on.

The quarrel lasted for ten minutes before it ended. When Jiang Nian woke up the next day, Lu Yu had already left. The vegetables in the private plot had been planted. In the past two days, Lu Yu went to water the crops every afternoon, and this continued until Monday morning, when he changed his clothes and left with the instructors. After Lu

Yu left, Gu Shizhou took over his affairs.

Sister Lan came to find Jiang Nian early in the morning and dragged her to the blind class. Seeing Sister Lan's positive look, Jiang Nian couldn't refuse. Just then, He Yue came out, and they were dragged away by Lan Hui.

He Yue:...

She just came out to visit some friends.

The three of them walked to the stairs and saw Guan Lu going upstairs. This was the first time Jiang Nian saw Guan Lu. She was wearing a shirt and pants, with her hair down and pinned behind her ears. She was very pretty, with a natural softness in her eyebrows and eyes. The first impression she gave was that she was weak and needed to be protected, which made people feel sympathetic towards her.

Jiang Nian only knew that Deputy Captain Luo was older than Guan Lu. When he saw them today, they really couldn't be seen as a couple when they stood together.

Deputy Captain Luo was definitely an old cow eating young grass.

"You're back."

Lan Hui smiled at everyone she met, and she didn't offend anyone or compare herself with others.

Guan Lu was carrying an old-fashioned shoulder bag on her shoulder. She looked up at Lan Hui and nodded, "Yeah, I'm back." Then she glanced at Jiang Nian and He Yue, then lowered her eyes and walked away from them.

Her voice was gentle and pleasant, somewhat similar to the angry voice last night.

Jiang Nian thought about it. It seemed that Guan Lu and Deputy Head Luo had a quarrel last night because Luo Xiaoyue entered her room at night without her consent. The two quarreled in the corridor for ten minutes. The most common thing Guan Lu said was that Luo Xiaoyue must promise that she would not enter her room without her consent. Family

affairs are the most difficult to deal with. On one side is the wife, and on the other side is the daughter. If Deputy Head Luo doesn't handle it well, I'm afraid that both sides will not end up well.

Jiang Nian and her family went downstairs and happened to meet Tian Mai who had just come out. She was bringing Kuang Xiu and Kuang Qian. Lan Hui asked, "Are you still going to the blind class?"

Tian Mai said, "Yes, of course. My mother-in-law will hate me if I stay at home. It's better to take the children out for a walk."

The children all went to school at this time, but Kuang Xiu and Kuang Qian did not.

Jiang Nian asked He Yue in a low voice, He Yue snorted and said softly: "The old lady thinks it's useless for girls to study, and they will marry into other families when they grow up. She said that the money saved from studying should be used as dowry. She would never let Xiu'er and sister go to school. Whenever they went to school, the old lady would make a fuss. After making a fuss so many times, Deputy Head Kuang felt it was embarrassing and let the two children stay at home."

Jiang Nian: ...

They all thought the old lady was pedantic and annoying after hearing this.

There were many military wives in the blindness-eliminating class. Jiang Nian and He Yue sat together. He Yue turned her head and saw Jiang Nian writing seriously. The teacher taught them a poem today and asked them to recite it and write it in their notebooks. Jiang Nian's handwriting was much better than at the beginning. Although the handwriting was not neat, it was written completely, which was much better than hers.

He Yue looked at her own dog-crawling handwriting and said, "You write really beautifully."

Jiang Nian: ???

Seriously?

Are you kidding?

She looked at her deliberately crooked handwriting with some uncertainty. It was so ugly that she couldn't bear to read it anymore, so she looked at He Yue's notebook.

Jiang Nian: ...

Compared to He Yue's, hers is indeed very beautiful.

Lan Hui heard what He Yue said, stretched her neck to look over here, and smiled: "Jiang Nian, you have made progress."

Jiang Nian smiled and said: "I have learned a little bit by practicing every day."

He Yue said: "I can't do it."

Lan Hui looked at her unhappily: "The teacher is teaching, and you are wandering around below. It's strange that you can learn well."

When she scolds people, she is a bit like Captain He.

He Yue: ...

Kuang Xiu and Kuang Qian sat quietly beside Tian Mai. Tian Mai couldn't concentrate on learning. He began to doze off when he heard the teacher talking. Kuang Qian, on the other hand, watched seriously. When the teacher said a word, Kuang Qian took notes below. Kuang Xiu always kept her head down, immersed in her own world.

Suddenly, a loud voice was heard in the quiet auditorium: "Kuang Xiu, you dare to steal my money! Well, the Kuang family really raised an ungrateful person!"

Old Mrs. Wu had a very loud voice, and this voice instantly made everyone look outside the auditorium.

Mrs. Wu walked in with a dark face, pointed at Kuang Xiu's nose and cursed: "I was wondering what you were doing behind my back last night. It turns out you stole three yuan from me. I saved that money penny by penny. Give me back my three yuan! The Kuang family is already losing money to support you two sisters, and you dare to steal money. How can you be so shameless? You eat and drink at the Kuang family's expense!"

Jiang Nian frowned as she called him a loser.

When Mrs. Wu came over, Kuang Qian was so scared that she quickly closed the book, lowered her head and grabbed Kuang Xiu's shaking hand without saying a word. Kuang Xiu kept crying, watching Tian Mai shaking his head, without saying a word, tears kept rolling down.

Everyone in the family compound knew more or less about the Kuang family's affairs, and they didn't like Mrs. Wu. She favored boys over girls. In her eyes, all daughters born in her family were losers and should have drowned in the urinal since birth.

Tian Mai was so angry that he stood up and yelled back: "When did Xiu'er steal your money? Stop talking nonsense to me!"

Mrs. Wu glared at Tian Mai with a dark face. She was obviously very angry too. She pointed at Kuang Xiu and said: "She took my shoes before I went to bed last night. I hid three yuan in the insole and it disappeared this morning. If it wasn't her, who else could it be? Could it be Kuang Qian?" After that, she pointed at Kuang Qian again: "Did you two sisters team up to steal my money?"

"We didn't!"

Kuang Qian got anxious and yelled back.

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she became furious. She pointed at Kuang Qian and said to Tian Mai, "Look at this money-loser you raised. How dare you talk back to me and be so mean to me? You treat me like this at such a young age. What will happen when she grows up? I tell you, I will make a fuss about this and make it a big one. I will report it to the Kuang Sheng Group. I will go to the Security Department to report that Kuang Xiu stole my money. Her behavior is problematic again. She must be locked up!"

Kuang Xiu sobbed and kept repeating the three words "I didn't steal".

Kuang Qian was a little bolder. She held Kuang Xiu's hand tightly and glared at Mrs. Wu with fear and anger. Tian Mai also got angry: "Okay, then you go and make trouble! Go to the Third Regiment and make a big fuss, let everyone in the Third Regiment know what a disgusting old woman Deputy Head Kuang's mother is. Our Xiu'er said she didn't steal, then she didn't steal. Even if you call the police, the police won't steal it either!"

The auditorium was originally empty, and the voices of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were louder than each other, and their voices were echoing inside.

The head of the Third Regiment is Lu Yu, and the army selects the best group every year. For example, in the previous army, Head Song was in charge of the Second Regiment. Because of Liu Qiang's incident, the Second Regiment lost its year-end bonus and subsidy, and Head Song was criticized for that incident.

Jiang Nian didn't want Lu Yu to get involved in such a thing again.

Seeing that Mrs. Wu was holding on tightly, Jiang Nian asked coldly: "You said you lost three yuan, then I want to ask, how much is in these three yuan?"

As soon as these words came out, Tian Mai reacted and asked: "Yes, tell me!"

Mrs. Wu was angry, and when she heard this, she looked at Jiang Nian and her face became uglier. She didn't like Jiang Nian at first sight. No one from her family came to visit her after she got married. It was obvious that she was not a good woman. Seeing that she was still helping Kuang Xiu, she became even more angry and spoke without thinking: "How can I remember how many cents it was? Anyway, Kuang Xiu stole my money. This is our Kuang family's business. It has nothing to do with you. Don't bother."

"But if you make trouble in the regiment, it will have something to do with me!" Jiang Nian's eyes were cold and her tone was cold and hard: "I am the wife of Captain Lu. If you make trouble in the regiment, it will also affect my wife. How can I say a few words? Moreover, if this matter happened to any other military wife, they would have good hearts and would want to get to the bottom of it. What if it was a misunderstanding or something? Wouldn't that be a false accusation against Kuang Xiu? It happens that all the military wives are here today, so let's talk about this matter face to face today."

She also praised the military wives present. Some military wives who had just watched the show and didn't intend to join in the conversation also started talking, asking Mrs. Wu to explain the matter clearly and not to rush to put the blame on Kuang Xiu.

Tian Mai looked at Jiang Nian with gratitude. Kuang Xiu and Kuang Qian also looked at her. Kuang Xiu's eyes were bloodshot from crying.

The more Mrs. Wu looked at Jiang Nian, the more she disliked her. She said impatiently: "So what if you are the regiment commander's wife? What's the matter? Do you still want to use your status as the regiment commander's wife to bully me? I tell you, I will go to the leaders above to complain that you are bullying me, an old lady, by relying on your status as the regiment commander's wife!"

Jiang Nian ignored Mrs. Wu's unreasonable behavior: "The military wives present are all watching. What did I say to bully you? But you, Aunt Wu, keep scolding your granddaughter, calling her a loser. How can we women be losers? We have children, and so many heroes have helped us. Isn't it from beating a woman's belly? Men are fighting on the front line, and we women are also in the back, taking care of everything at home, holding up half the sky!"

Jiang Nian's words expressed the thoughts of many military wives. These people's families are more or less patriarchal, and they have suffered a lot of grievances and suffering at home. Some families deliberately named girls Zhaodi in order to give birth to boys, just to attract boys. This decadent idea has harmed generations of women, so that in some families, boys think that their status is higher than that of their sisters, and they think that girls are just money-losing goods just like the old people.

Some military wives began to echo Jiang Nian's words and refuted Mrs. Wu.

"When did Captain Lu's wife bully you? Why didn't we see it?"

"That's right, how can you, an old lady, lie with your eyes open?"

"You are not a woman, are you? You keep scolding your granddaughter for being a loser, aren't you also a loser?"

"How can someone of your age speak so obnoxiously?"

You and I kept talking back and forth, and your spit could drown Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu's face couldn't be any darker, and her eyes could spit fire. Jiang Nian took the opportunity to say, "Auntie Wu, I also want to help you find the money. You said you lost three yuan, so how much is three yuan? If we really find it from Kuang Xiu, we can also reconcile the accounts, right?"

Kuang Xiu cried and said, "I didn't take it."

She kept saying this over and over again. Tian Mai said to her, "Mom believes you didn't take it."

Mrs. Wu said, "It was just three dollars."

Jiang Nian asked, "Three dollars?"

Mrs. Wu said impatiently, "How can I remember it so clearly? Anyway, it was just three dollars!"

The military wives were embarrassed. They all looked at Kuang Xiu. They couldn't search the pockets of this child in front of so many people, right? Mrs. Wu said again, "We have searched everywhere in the house, but we can't find the place where the money is hidden. The money is either on Kuang Xiu or hidden somewhere else by her."

In short, they insisted that Kuang Xiu took it.

Kuang Xiuhuan's body was shaking constantly, especially when everyone in the auditorium was looking at her. She felt like she was naked, being watched and pointed at by everyone. She lowered her head and kept crying.

Lan Hui frowned and said to Jiang Nian, "This old lady is very troublesome. This matter is not easy to handle. Lu Yu is not here. Let Political Commissar Gu come over."

He Yue also said, "I'll go find Deputy Commander Kuang and the others."

Jiang Nian looked at old lady Wu and asked, "Do you wear the shoes with the money hidden in them every day?"

Old lady Wu was stunned and said, "Nonsense, how can I keep them at home if I don't wear them?"

Jiang Nian smiled, but his eyes were cold, "Since it was hidden in the soles of the shoes and I wear them every day, I will definitely take them out to see if the money is there at night. And you said before that the money was earned by you penny by penny, how could it be three yuan?"

Seeing that Mrs. Wu wanted to speak, Jiang Nian Then he immediately interrupted her: "If you want to say who you asked for the three yuan, or where you got the three yuan in exchange, then just tell us. We will find the security department and let them investigate to see if this happened. If it happened, it will be considered as a testimony for you. If not, then you are lying! Aunt Wu, if you frame someone for theft and report it to the security department, you will have to write a self-criticism and be criticized and punished." Mrs. Wu

didn't think about such details at all. Seeing that Jiang Nian spoke so convincingly, she panicked all of a sudden. She didn't care whether it was in zeros or in wholes, and insisted: "It was zeros. Anyway, I don't know. I know a few cents, which add up to three yuan."

Jiang Nian sneered: "Is it a whole dollar or change?"

Mrs. Wu insisted: "Change!"

Jiang Nian glanced at Tian Mai and changed the subject: "You are the one who said it was a whole dollar, and you are the one who changed your mind and said it was change. You are the one who insisted that Kuang Xiu stole your money?"

As soon as Jiang Nian said this, Tian Mai next to him reacted instantly: "You didn't lose any money at all. You just don't like our Xiu'er. Last time, you beat Xiu with a stick at home, and Xiu was so scared that she went to the market with me and was separated by a crowd and ran away. We searched for her for half the night before finding her. Kuang Sheng scolded you, and you want to vent your anger again "You are deliberately insulting Xiu'er in front of so many people today, aren't you?"

Then before Mrs. Wu could say anything, he continued, "You don't even know whether your money is in whole or in small amounts, and you insist that Xiu'er stole your money? Then I said that my money was lost, with both small and large amounts, and you insisted that you stole it. Did you steal it?"

Mrs. Wu was furious, "You are talking nonsense! Who stole your money? Who saw it?"

Tian Mai said, "I saw it. You stole my money. You stole eight yuan and seventy-four cents from me, as well as two catties of grain coupons and two feet of cloth coupons."

Mrs. Wu: ...

To deal with such a rogue, you have to use rogue methods. You can't reason with him.

Whether the money was lost or not, the military wives present at the scene also saw it clearly. This old lady was cruel and vindictive. She deliberately ruined her granddaughter's reputation to vent her anger. Such a person deserves to be struck by lightning.

In the end, the matter did not get into a big deal. Old Mrs. Wu ran back in anger.

Jiang Nian was also looked up to by the military wives because of this matter. Everyone had previously discussed privately that the wife married by Captain Lu looked beautiful, but no one from her parents' family came on the wedding day. It was not known whether the people who followed Captain Lu were innocent, and they might not be easy to get along with. After seeing her today, they felt that Captain Lu's wife was really amazing.

He was able to speak so highly of these women, win their respect, and defeat the troublesome Aunt Wu.

Lan Hui said to Jiang Nian, "I really didn't realize that you are so aware."

Jiang Nian pursed his lips and smiled. Lan Hui continued, "I also hate the preference for boys over girls in my family. Why should women be inferior to men from the moment they are born? We women can do it for a long time."

This is why Lan Hui studied hard in the blindness class. She liked reading when she was a child, but her family said that it was useless for girls to study because they would all get married in the future. No matter how good the reading was, it would only be given to others as daughters-in-law, which was a waste of money. So since the army had the blindness class, she came every day, wanting to make up for the gaps she had made when she was a child.

He Yue also said, "I think what Jiang Nian said today

was very good." Jiang Nian said, "I'm telling the truth."

How many girls have been traumatized since childhood because of a family's preference for boys over girls. This trauma requires a lifetime to heal. Her neighbor's daughter is like this. Because of the extreme preference for boys in her family, she has lived in a family where she has been wronged, neglected, and lacked love since she was a child. After she grew up and went into society, she has never returned to that home again.

Tian Mai had been holding Kuang Xiu's hand, and she felt sorry for her daughter to meet such a grandmother. She said to Jiang Nian, "Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, my Xiu'er would have to live with the stigma of stealing money for the rest of her life."

Jiang Nian looked at Kuang Xiu, a nine-year-old girl, thin and small, with her head down and shoulders hunched. She cried until she was silent. Jiang Nian walked over, hesitated for a moment, and held Kuang Xiu's hand. Her hand was very cold, but her palms were sweaty. Kuang Xiu was so scared that she trembled her arm and wanted to pull her hand back.

Jiang Nian whispered, "You're great."

Kuang Xiu paused in pulling her hand away, and raised her head cautiously to look at Jiang Nian. This was also the first time she saw this beautiful Jiang's wife. When she saw the kind smile in Jiang Nian's eyes, Kuang Xiu pursed her lips, lowered her head, and tried to pull her hand back again.

Jiang Nian let go of her hand and smiled, "You are not afraid of your grandmother's slander and insist on proving your innocence. It's really great."

No one has ever said that she is great. Grandma always said that she is a loser and should have drowned in a spittoon when she was born. Dad always said that it was your grandmother and you just need to listen to what the elders say. Mom always said that losers are losers and don't pay attention to your grandmother. This is the first time someone told her that she is great and insists on what she thinks is right.

Kuang Qian looked at Jiang Nian, raised her head and whispered: "Auntie Jiang, thank you for helping me take care of my sister."

Kuang Qian is one year younger than Kuang Xiu, and is only eight years old this year. There is a bit of smartness in her eyes. Although she is also inferior and timid, she is better than Kuang Xiu. This child's psychological pressure is also stronger than Kuang Xiu.

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "You are also great."

This matter was resolved in the morning.

At lunchtime, the Kuang family was in a mess. As soon as Deputy Regiment Commander Kuang got home, Tian Mai told him everything about the blindness-elimination class in vivid detail. The more he listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. He looked at his mother who was locked in the door and refused to come out. He walked over and banged on the door: "Mom, come out! What do you mean? Do you really want your son to be expelled from the army?!"

The old lady hid in the house and refused to come out, and kept saying that Kuang Xiu had stolen her money.

The Kuang family was in a turmoil for the whole afternoon. Deputy Regiment Commander Kuang did not go to the regiment in the afternoon, but dealt with this mess at home.

The old lady used the same old tricks again, crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang herself, forcing Deputy Captain Kuang to have no choice but to let go of this matter. Tian Mai also had a quarrel with Deputy Captain Kuang because of this matter. Almost everyone on the first floor could hear the quarrel of the Kuang family.

At Captain He's home, a family of four sat at a square wooden table to eat. In the evening, they had a simple meal of pickled vegetables, radishes and corn cakes. Lan Hui told Captain He about what happened in the blindness elimination class today. Captain He was stunned and glanced at Lan Hui: "Did she really say that?"

Lan Hui said: "So many military wives are listening to it, how could it be false?"

Captain He smiled and said: "Lu Yu is lucky to marry such a sensible wife."

Lan Hui: ...

She knocked Captain He's chopsticks with her chopsticks and glared at him: "You are unlucky? Am I unreasonable? I even gave birth to two sons for you." After that, she said to He Ming and He Bing "Is mother right?"

He Ming and He Bing nodded quickly: "What mother said is right."

Captain He:...

He smiled unhappily: "When did I say you were not good? You are the eldest in our family, whatever you say is right."

After the incident at the blind elimination class, every time Jiang Nian was called to the blind elimination class by Mrs. Lu Lan, the military wives would take the initiative to greet Jiang Nian, and their words were filled with kind smiles. Jiang Nian embroidered while going to the blind elimination class, and his life was fulfilling. It was just that she got used to sleeping with Lu Yu in the past two months. After he left, she always felt cold sleeping alone in a quilt.

Jiang Nian was also concerned about the watering of the private plot. She went to check every now and then and found that the plot had been watered. She also asked He Yue and found out that Captain Fang was too busy to do it. Jiang Nian thought that it must have been Chen Yao who watered the plot.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yu had been gone for half a month and had not called at all during this period.

Jiang Nian didn't know where he went, she only knew he was on a mission. At noon that day, the security guard came to find her and said that there was a call for her. Jiang Nian ran over happily and was about to call Lu Yu when she heard Zhang Xiao's voice. She was stunned and asked, "Are you giving birth next month?"

Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "Well, Sister Jiang, will you come then? I want to see you."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "I'll go."

She also missed Zhang Xiao, so she went to accompany her and to see Xu Yan and the two children. She didn't know how they were doing in the past few months.

After chatting with Zhang Xiao for a few words, she hung up. Jiang Nian waited at home for two more days, but there was still no news from Lu Yu.

He said before that he would come back half a month earlier and a month later.

Jiang Nian glanced at the photo of the two of them placed on the table. Lu Yu was wearing a white shirt, with a smile on his handsome face, and his hands on her shoulders. Just from the photo, one could tell that he was protecting her.

Jiang Nian held her chin up and looked at the embroidery in front of her.

She missed Lu Yu. She

thought about him every day.

After breakfast the next day, He Yue came over and asked her if she wanted to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. The vegetables were not ready yet. Jiang Nian said yes. She changed her clothes and they walked downstairs. He Yue saw the bicycle in the corridor. It had been there for more than two months. Jiang Nian had never ridden it since Captain Lu bought it.

If it were anyone else, they would want to ride it outside every day to show off that they had a bicycle. Only Jiang Nian treated it as a piece of scrap metal and left it here.

Needless to say, she felt itchy inside, so she asked Jiang Nian: "Why don't we ride your bike?"

Jiang Nian was stunned: "My feet can't reach the ground, I'm afraid of falling."

And she didn't know how to ride this kind of bike.

He Yue said: "I'm taller than you, and I've ridden my second uncle's bike before, so I know a little bit. I'll take you."

The road from here to the vegetable market is not short. Jiang Nian thought about it and nodded: "Okay, but you have to ride steadily, I don't want to fall down."

He Yue clapped her hands and said: "Don't worry."

So He Yue pushed the bike out of the corridor and said to Jiang Nian: "Look, I'll ride steadily before jumping on."

Jiang Nian: ...

She was a little scared, afraid that she would fall down after jumping on.

He Yue first pedaled the bicycle, then got on, swayed for several times before she stabilized it, looked back at Jiang Nian and said, "Hurry up and get on." Jiang Nian

trotted over, but didn't dare to jump on after several attempts. He Yue was a little anxious, and the handlebars began to shake when she was anxious. She steadied herself by pedaling forward again, and said to Jiang Nian, "Hurry up and get on, we're out of the family building."

Jiang Nian gritted his teeth and trotted over . , then grabbed the back seat and jumped up: "You ride steadily... Ouch"

Before she finished speaking, He Yue's car and herself fell to the right. Jiang Nian just sat on the back seat and fell backwards. He was about to fall heavily to the ground. His waist tightened and he was held by a strong arm and turned half a circle. Jiang Nian's back was against the other's waist, and the whole body's strength was hanging on the man's arm.

He Yue did not fall down either. The man held the back seat with his other hand and helped He Yue stabilize the person and the car.
