Chapter 84
Jiang Nian said nothing, but the smile on her lips deepened.
She put down the scissors, then jumped up and kissed Lu Yu on the lips: "Open it and see? See? What did Song Bai send?"
Lu Yu: ...
The man picked up the scissors and cut open the bag, taking out the things inside one by one. There were wild walnuts, almonds, dried grapes, red dates and walnuts, and many kinds of special products from the frontier. At the bottom was something wrapped in a bezoar bag. Lu Yu opened the bezoar paper package, and inside was a piece of pure white fox fur, which was shiny and glossy.
Lu Yu tightened his grip on the fox fur, lowered his eyes and saw the surprise in Jiang Nian's eyes, put the fox fur on the table, took out a letter from his bag and opened it, which congratulated him and Jiang Nian on their marriage, explained some work in the frontier, and sent these things back to make a fox fur for Jiang Nian, which could protect her from the cold in winter and prevent her from freezing.
Lu Yu smiled, but there was no emotion in his laughter.
He glanced at Jiang Nian who was standing on tiptoe to read the letter. His brows lowered and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Do you know how to read?"
Jiang Nian: ...
She coughed lightly, took the letter from Lu Yu's hand without any guilt, glanced at it, and said in a serious manner: "Guan Lu taught me some. Although I can't recognize all of them, I can probably recognize a few words."
Lu Yu put the things in the cabinet, put away the fox fur, and said to Jiang Nian: "I'll make you a vest for winter to protect your back and stomach."
This thing can keep out the cold, and it is suitable to give it to Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian finished reading the letter written by Song Bai, and then asked Lu Yu: "He sent us so many things, shouldn't we reciprocate and send him something back?"
Lu Yu said: "Yes."
Jiang Nian asked: "What do you plan to send?"
Lu Yu glanced at Jiang Nian, suddenly turned around and picked up Jiang Nian and put her on the table, holding her neck, bit her lips, and his breath became a little heavier: "What do you think we should send?"
He looked at her, his dark eyes were filled with some deep meaning. Jiang Nian felt an inexplicable chill on her back. She shook her head gently and said truthfully: "I don't know."
Jiang Nian really didn't know. Song Bai had eaten all the specialties here, and it seemed that there was nothing to send.
Lu Yu never told her what he was going to send to Song Bai. It was only two days later, at lunchtime, when Lu Yu came back with a big bag of chocolates and candies in his hands. It looked like he had spent a lot of money. She was stunned for a moment: "Why did you buy so many chocolates and candies?"
Lu Yu raised his eyes to look at her, took her hand, and pecked her lips: "Song Bai likes chocolate, send some of this to him."
Jiang Nian: ???
Really?
She really didn't know what Song Bai liked to eat.
When Lu Yu sent something, he also wrote a letter and put it in. After lunch, he went to the post office. Jiang Nian went with him. She happened to be going to the food station to buy some meat and planned to make some dumplings in the evening.
After returning to the army, Lu Yu went to the regiment. Jiang Nian walked towards the family building and happened to see Guan Lu and Yue Qiao walking together under a row of willow trees. They heard the footsteps and looked back. Yue Qiao immediately smiled and said, "Jiang Nian, where have you been? Why didn't I see you just now?"
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "I came from the food station."
Yue Qiao said, "No wonder, we came from the health center."
Jiang Nian saw that Guan Lu's face was a little pale, so he walked over and walked side by side with her: "What's wrong with you?"
Just after asking, he saw Guan Lu covering her mouth and gulping twice. Yue Qiao quickly patted her on the back and smiled at Jiang Nian: "She just went to the health center for a check-up. I checked and found out that I'm pregnant. This is morning sickness, a normal reaction."
Speaking of this, Yue Qiao touched her belly and said, "Why is there no movement here?"
Then she looked at Jiang Nian again, "Are there any reactions in your belly?"
Jiang Nian shook her head quickly, "I don't want to have children for the next few years."
Yue Qiao was stunned, "Why?"
Jiang Nian said, "I want to focus all my attention on embroidery. It won't be too late to have children in a few years."
Seeing that Yue Qiao wanted to ask more, Guan Lu stopped her and said, "Let's go back."
Yue Qiao stopped talking, "Okay, the doctor said that you need to rest now. Lie down well when you go back. Also, don't talk to Xiaoyue. It’s not a good idea to be angry for the first time, and it will hurt your health. "
Guan Lu nodded: "Yeah."
The three of them returned to the family building and ran into Luo Chengyi and Luo Xiaoyue who were coming out of the house. Luo Xiaoyue was carrying a schoolbag, and for the first time she didn't talk to Jiang Nian with a smile, but lowered her head and said nothing. Luo Chengyi saw that Guan Lu's face was not right, so he stepped forward to hold her arm and said with concern: "Your face is not right, what's wrong?"
Guan Lu didn't say anything, Yue Qiao spoke first: "She is pregnant now, Deputy Captain Luo, you are going to be a father again."
Luo Chengyi's face froze, and he looked at Guan Lu in surprise: "Really?"
Guan Lu smiled softly: " Well, I just went to the clinic for a checkup, and the doctor said so."
Luo Chengyi happily hugged Guan Lu, and as if Jiang Nian and the others didn't exist, he carried Guan Lu home, saying as he walked: "Come on, I'll take you home and make you some soft and delicious meals. I'll take a leave of absence this afternoon and won't go to the group."
Then he said to Luo Xiaoyue: "Go to school by yourself, remember to listen carefully to the teacher's lectures."
Jiang Nian saw Luo Xiaoyue turn around and watch Luo Chengyi carrying Guan Lu away. She stood diagonally opposite Luo Xiaoyue and saw the anger hidden in the little girl's eyes, which was completely different from the pair of smiling eyes before, and even had a bit of viciousness.
Yue Qiao said: "Deputy Group Leader Luo, go slowly, be careful not to let Guan Lu fall." After that, she chased after her.
Luo Xiaoyue looked coldly at Yue Qiao who was chasing after her. When she turned around, she bumped into Jiang Nian's sight. For a moment, the anger and coldness in her eyes overlapped with the smile on her face, showing a bit of weird viciousness.
She looked at Jiang Nian, turned around quickly and ran away.
Jiang Nian pursed his lips and looked at Luo Xiaoyue's back as she ran away, then went into the family building. He thought that he needed to remind Guan Lu one day to let her pay attention to Luo Xiaoyue. She was pregnant now, and sometimes he was afraid of the unexpected.
Guan Lu stayed at home during the past few days of her pregnancy. Every time after Luo Xiaoyue went to school, she would come to Jiang Nian, teaching her how to read and chatting with her. Guan Lu felt very comfortable when talking to Jiang Nian, as if she had found a spiritual sustenance and had the same topic.
Guan Lu took a cup and poured some water into the bottle. She looked at the withered flowers and plants and smiled, "I'll go pick some more flowers and plants in two days."
Jiang Nian saw that she covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom to vomit after she finished speaking. She immediately thought that it was better not to have a baby for the time being, otherwise she would not be able to stand vomiting like this all the time.
When it was getting dark, Lu Yu came back.
Jiang Nian ran back home and bumped into Lu Yu who opened the door. Seeing that he looked tense, she asked, "What's wrong with you?" Seeing
that Jiang Nian was fine, Lu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked back holding her hand, "Nothing, I saw that you were not at home, so I wanted to go out to find you."
Now it was Jiang Nian who pinched Lu Yu's fingers, raised her little face and looked at him with a smile, "I'm at Guan Lu's house."
She raised the notebook and pen in her hand, "I learned a lot of words today."
Lu Yu glanced at the paper and pen in her hand, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "How many words did you learn today?"
Jiang Nian coughed lightly, "I learned an article."
"Oh?"
Lu Yu's eyebrows hid a hint of elusive teasing: "I'm making rapid progress."
Jiang Nian smiled, put her notebook and pen on the cabinet, went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and went to the kitchen to cook. Lu Yu came in with an apron. When Jiang Nian turned around, he put her on the table with his fingertips, lowered his head and kissed Jiang Nian's eyelashes, his voice was a little hoarse and hard to suppress: "I'm not hungry yet."
Jiang Nian's eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her head to look at the apron in Lu Yu's hand, and her face suddenly flushed.
He, why did he take out this apron?
Without giving Jiang Nian a chance to respond, Lu Yu held her wrist and put on the apron for her. His hands brushed over her elbows and tied the apron from behind. The apron's laces made her waist look slimmer. Lu Yu's dark eyes gradually darkened.
He lifted Jiang Nian's waist, pecked her lips, ran his fingers through her hair, clasped her back, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go back to the room."
Jiang Nian's heartbeat was fast, and she put her hands on Lu Yu's shoulders, and couldn't help curling her fingers.
Under her palms were the man's tense muscles, cold and hard as iron.
Lu Yu held her and closed the curtains. The already dim room suddenly became pitch dark. Without seeing Lu Yu, Jiang Nian's senses were instantly magnified. She pursed her lips. In the quiet room, she could clearly hear Lu Yu's breathing, which was entangling her breath and making her face even redder.
In the end, the apron was lazily draped over her body.
Jiang Nian's eyelashes trembled slightly, the corners of her eyes were slightly red, and her eyes were also wet with tears.
Her slender arms were resting on the quilt, with a red ribbon on her fair wrist. Lu Yu kissed her wet eyelashes and carried her to the bathroom. After a while, he came out and put her on the bed: "You rest first, I'll cook."
The light was on in the room. Jiang Nian pinched her aching waist and limbs, turned over and fell asleep in a daze. She didn't know how long she slept before being picked up by Lu Yu again. The man breathed hot air into her ear and smiled, "It's time to eat."
Jiang Nian: ...
She was so sleepy.
Jiang Nian tried hard to open her eyes. After dinner, she lay in Lu Yu's arms and was sleeping soundly when Yue Qiao's voice suddenly came from outside the corridor: "Guan Lu, what's wrong with you?!" "
Luo Xiaoyue, are you doing this on purpose?!"
Yue Qiao had just finished speaking when Captain Lei hurried to stop her: "She is still a child, how can she understand anything."
Jiang Nian opened her eyes all of a sudden and her sleepiness was gone. Lu Yu put his arm around her shoulders, saw her open her eyes, and kissed her eyelashes: "Don't you want to sleep anymore?"
"I'm going to go out and see."
She got up, put on her clothes and ran out. Lu Yu got up and followed her. They walked outside and saw He Yue who also came out. He Yue rubbed her eyes and said, "I don't know what happened." Then she walked over.
Guan Lu stood against the wall, holding her stomach with her hands, her face showing some pain. Luo Xiaoyue stood against the wall, crying with hunched shoulders, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Yue Qiao put her hands on her hips and glared at Luo Xiaoyue, and was dragged into the house by Captain Lei’s arm. Luo Chengyi came out of the house with his coat and put it on Guan Lu, then walked out holding Guan Lu.
Luo Xiaoyue reached out and grabbed the corner of Luo Chengyi’s clothes, tears falling down in strings: "Dad, I didn’t mean it. I didn’t know Aunt Guan would be scared. I just wanted to make Aunt Guan happy. Dad, if you are angry, just hit me, don’t ignore me."
Luo Chengyi frowned and looked at Luo Xiaoyue: "You go back to the house first, I’ll take your Aunt Guan to the clinic first."
Luo Xiaoyue didn’t let go, as if she didn’t see Guan Lu’s pain. She looked like she was being rude, and she was still apologizing to Luo Chengyi non-stop. Seeing this, Jiang Nian frowned, and she always felt that this kid was deliberately dragging Luo Chengyi. Yue Qiao got angry when she saw Luo Xiaoyue's look, and she waved Captain Lei away, pointed at Luo Xiaoyue and began to scold her: "What do you call making Guan Lu happy? Is it that someone is making people happy with a scary red mask painted on them? I think you are just sincere. How can you be so vicious at such a young age? Your mother—"
"Yue Qiao!"
Luo Chengyi's voice was sharp, trying to shut Yue Qiao up.
Captain Lei covered Yue Qiao's mouth and dragged her back into the house. Yue Qiao was so angry that she kicked and stomped Captain Lei, and even twisted his hand, which made Captain Lei gasp in pain. He dragged her into the house and closed the door.
The door was closed, but Luo Xiaoyue still didn't let go of Luo Chengyi's clothes.
Jiang Nian frowned, unable to bear it any longer, and said to Luo Xiaoyue from a distance: "If you don't let go of your father's hand, what will you do if something really happens to your aunt Guan? Will you cry and apologize?"
Her voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard in the corridor, and even Chen Ping and several other military wives who ran down from the upstairs heard it. He Yue was also stunned, and they all looked at Luo Xiaoyue who was holding on to Luo Chengyi's clothes. , Luo Chengyi frowned and said to Luo Xiaoyue: "Hurry back to the house."
After that, he walked quickly to the stairs. Luo Xiaoyue stumbled forward two steps before letting go of Luo Chengyi's hand. It can be seen how tightly she was holding on. She saw that people upstairs and downstairs were looking at her, and their eyes were filled with blame that was not usually there, and they expressed their ignorance for her behavior. So she looked angrily at Jiang Nian at the other end of the corridor, and clenched her hands hanging at her side.
A nine-year-old child, but the eyes made people feel a chill in their spine.
Lu Yu frowned slightly, stepped forward and hugged Jiang Nian's thin shoulders, and said to Luo Xiaoyue, "Go back to the room and sleep."
His voice was cold and a little bit cold, and there was a bit of sharpness hidden in his eyebrows. Luo Xiaoyue was frightened and her body tensed up. She was afraid of Captain Lu. When she moved here from Captain Lu, she would call Captain Lu Uncle Lu every time she saw him, but every time he looked at her, his eyes seemed to be able to see through her.
Even see through her disguise. When they met a few times, he would glance at her coldly.
Luo Xiaoyue didn't dare to look directly at Lu Yu, she turned around and quickly went back to close the door, with a loud "bang", as if she was venting her anger with brute force.
Jiang Nian: ...
Lu Yu said, "Let's go back."
He hugged Jiang Nian, and his strong arms protected her in his own space. Chen Ping watched from the corridor, and saw the intimacy between Jiang Nian and Lu Yu, and then remembered that they were uncle and sister-in-law before, so she quickly put aside this idea and ran back upstairs.
She went back to the house and closed the door. Captain Ren came out and asked, "What's going on downstairs? Why is there so much noise?"
Chen Ping told him about Luo Xiaoyue. Hearing this, Captain Ren frowned and said, "This kid is quite mean."
Chen Ping also said, "If Jiang Nian hadn't said it just now, I really wouldn't have noticed that something was wrong. Usually I see her smiling and polite, but I didn't expect her to be so mean." It was quiet outside
.
Jiang Nian looked up at Lu Yu, still a little scared when she thought about what happened just now: "Lu Yu, Luo Xiaoyue is a thoughtful child, not as lively and cheerful as she appears to be."
The last time she and He Yue came back from the army, they saw Luo Xiaoyue's mother. With a mother like that coming to see Luo Xiaoyue so frequently, how could this child's mind be simple?
Lu Yu patted Jiang Nian's shoulder gently: "That child is thoughtful, stay away from her in the future."
Jiang Nian nodded: "Okay."
After sleeping for a while, she remembered something again. She turned over and half-lay beside Lu Yu, put her hand on the man's shoulder and said: "Do you think that Luo Xiaoyue looks nothing like Deputy Captain Luo?"
She felt that Luo Xiaoyue didn't look like Deputy Captain Luo since the first time she saw her. Even if this child looked like her mother, there was no trace of Deputy Captain Luo on her face. But she also felt that maybe she was too suspicious. Some children do look like one of their parents and have nothing in common with the other.
Lu Yu held Jiang Nian's hand, frowned slightly, and said only one sentence: "Don't think about it, go to sleep first."
The next morning when Jiang Nian got up, Lu Yu had already left. He had warmed breakfast in the pot. When Jiang Nian had just finished washing and was about to have breakfast, Yue Qiao came and knocked on the door, asking her if she wanted to go see Guan Lu, who had not come back all night.
Jiang Nian said, "Okay."
After breakfast, she went to the health center with Yue Qiao. The doctor at the health center said that Deputy Commander Luo took Guan Lu to the county hospital this morning, so the two of them rushed to the county again. The county hospital here also belongs to the military hospital, and its medical facilities are much more comprehensive than those of the health center.
It takes more than half an hour to walk from the military unit to the county hospital. The two hurried to the hospital and found a ward on the second floor after asking the nurse. Guan Lu was lying on the bed with a pale face. Deputy Regiment Commander Luo was sitting beside her, watching the nurse give Guan Lu an injection and an infusion.
"Lulu, how do you feel?"
Yue Qiao came in and asked. Guan Lu turned her head and saw the two of them. A smile appeared on her pale face: "Better. Why are you here?"
Yue Qiao said: "I was worried so you came to check on me."
Jiang Nian asked: "Is the baby okay?"
Guan Lu held her belly with her hand: "The doctor said that the fetus was disturbed. It's too young and unstable now. Please let me stay in the hospital for a few days for observation."
Deputy Regiment Commander Luo didn't get much rest that night. Yue Qiao said: "You go back first. Jiang Nian and I will stay here with him. Luo Xiaoyue will stay at home." Still need someone to take care of her."
Deputy Head Luo looked a little tired, rubbed his face, and said to Yue Qiao: "Then Lulu will trouble you two first." Then he looked at Jiang Nian: "Thank you."
Jiang Nian smiled and said: "No problem."
After Luo Chengyi left, Jiang Nian and Yue Qiao stayed with Guan Lu. Yue Qiao asked about what happened last night. It was not until yesterday that Luo Xiaoyue was holding her breath after learning that Guan Lu was pregnant. After returning home, she deliberately drew a red bloody face on paper and punched two holes on the paper. When Guan Lu came out of the bathroom, she stood at the door to scare her.
Guan Lu was frightened, the fetus was unstable, and her stomach hurt. After Luo Chengyi came out, Luo Xiaoyue crumpled the paper and said that she was just happy for Aunt Guan because she knew she was pregnant and wanted to make her happy, but who knew that she would scare him.
Luo Xiaoyue started crying before they could say a few words. Luo Chengyi didn't want to scold her, so he took Guan Lu to the clinic. Everyone knows what happened next.
When Luo Chengyi returned, Luo Xiaoyue had not yet gone to school. He opened the door and went in, and saw Luo Xiaoyue sitting on a stool in the outer room with red eyes from crying. After Luo Chengyi came in, she suddenly stood up and threw herself into his arms, hugged him and cried: "Dad, I didn't mean it, I was wrong, I will never tease Aunt Guan again."
Luo Chengyi sighed and touched Luo Xiaoyue's head: "Have you had breakfast?"
Luo Xiaoyue shook her head. Luo Chengyi said: "Dad will make you some breakfast, and you can go to school after breakfast."
After that, he pinched Luo Xiaoyue's arm and let go and went to the kitchen. Luo Xiaoyue sat on the bench, looked at Luo Chengyi's back, and wiped away her tears indifferently.
"Yueyue."
Luo Xiaoyue burped and looked towards the kitchen door: "Dad, what's wrong?"
Luo Chengyi paused for a while and said: "Your Aunt Guan has a hard life. She has suffered a lot with me. She is pregnant with my child, and you are your younger brother or sister. Dad doesn't expect you to call Aunt Guan mother, but at least in this family, you must sincerely treat her as an elder."
Luo Xiaoyue looked at Luo Chengyi who was busy in the kitchen, sneered, and said in an extremely obedient manner: "I always treat her as an elder, Dad, and I have never talked back to Aunt Guan."
Luo Chengyi paused while cutting vegetables and didn't say anything else.
After Luo Xiaoyue had breakfast and went to school, Luo Chengyi went to the food station to buy a chicken and stewed it into soup. He rushed to the county hospital at lunch time and brought lunch for Jiang Nian and Yue Qiao.
Guan Lu had to stay in the hospital for a week to see how she was doing. Yue Qiao asked Jiang Nian to go to the hospital to see Guan Lu these days. Guan Lu's complexion was much better than before. When Deputy Head Luo came again at noon, Yue Qiao and the others left the hospital.
When the two of them just passed Renmin Street and were about to go to the military unit, they saw Luo Xiaoyue walking by with her schoolbag on her back. Yue Qiao paused and grabbed Jiang Nian: "Shouldn't she be eating at home at this time? Why did she run out?"
Jiang Nian also took a look and had a vague intuition in his heart that Luo Xiaoyue had come out without the deputy commander Luo's back.
Yue Qiao said: "Let's go and see if Luo Xiaoyue's mother has done something weird again."
After saying that, she pulled Jiang Nian to follow.
He Yue had told her about Luo Xiaoyue's biological mother. In order to annoy Guan Lu, that woman would come to the family compound several times a month. The two followed Luo Xiaoyue to the estuary next to the park, hid behind a tree stump, and watched Luo Xiaoyue run to a middle-aged woman, hold her hand and start complaining.
Although they were far away, it was quiet here in Xiaohekou, and they could vaguely hear Luo Xiaoyue's voice.
She was talking about how Guan Lu treated her badly at home, how Deputy Head Luo favored Guan Lu, and how the two of them were bullying her. Jiang Nian frowned when she heard this, and the more she looked at Luo Xiaoyue, the more she felt disgusted. Yue Qiao really couldn't stand it anymore, and she rolled up her sleeves and rushed over in anger, but was grabbed by Jiang Nian.
She turned her head to look at Jiang Nian: "Why are you holding me back? Look at that damn girl, she keeps talking nonsense!"
Jiang Nian whispered: "Wait a
little longer." Seeing that Yue Qiao couldn't wait and wanted to rush out, she had to say: "Don't be impulsive yet, let's see if Luo Xiaoyue and her mother will come up with any bad ideas to deal with Guan Lu. If we rush out now, they will definitely be on guard against us in the future."
As the saying goes, the enemy is in the open and they are in the dark.
Luo Xiaoyue's mother is not a good person, which can be seen from the fact that she instigated Luo Xiaoyue. Moreover, she knew that Guan Lu was pregnant, and she would most likely instigate Luo Xiaoyue to deal with Guan Lu. She was afraid of everything.
Yue Qiao couldn't help but hold back after hearing this: "Okay, I want to see what tricks these mother and daughter are up
to." Luo Xiaoyue finally stopped talking after a while. The woman took Luo Xiaoyue's hand and sat on a bench next to the creek. It was too far away, and the woman's voice was low. Jiang Nian asked Yue Qiao to stand here obediently, fearing that she would rush out and cause trouble. She quietly ran over and hid behind a thick tree trunk. She vaguely heard the woman tell Luo Xiaoyue to come over tomorrow and bring her something.
The mother and daughter chatted for a few more sentences, and what they said was that Guan Lu had interfered with their marriage, causing Luo Chengyi to divorce her and marry Guan Lu.
Jiang Nian: ...
Luo Chengyi met Guan Lu several years after he divorced his ex-wife. No wonder Luo Xiaoyue can't tell right from wrong. It's all because of her mother's indoctrination.
When the mother and daughter left, Jiang Nian and Yue Qiao hid behind the tree and didn't move. They didn't get together until they were far away. Yue Qiao asked anxiously, "What did they say?"
Jiang Nian said, "The woman asked Luo Xiaoyue to come again tomorrow and said she would give her something."
Yue Qiao snorted coldly, "Okay, I have to come and see tomorrow!"
Luo Xiaoyue didn't know that Jiang Nian and Yue Qiao were following her. The two of them returned to the family compound one after the other. Jiang Nian saw Luo Xiaoyue smiling and greeting the passing military wives. He didn't see the viciousness and hypocrisy when he faced his mother just now.
On the way back, Yue Qiao also told Jiang Nian about Luo Xiaoyue's mother.
Luo Xiaoyue's mother's name was Li Pandi. From her name, we can tell that her family also favored boys over girls. At that time, Deputy Regiment Commander Luo was still a deputy battalion commander. The two got married through a matchmaker. It was actually related to Battalion Commander Lei. The matchmaker was Battalion Commander Lei's second wife, so Yue Qiao knew more about this than He Yue.
Outsiders said that Li Pandi was suspicious all the time. Whenever Deputy Captain Luo talked to other military wives, she suspected that they were seducing him. After a long time, the relationship between the couple gradually broke down and finally they divorced. Yue Qiao said that this was a factor. The main factor for the divorce was that Li Pandi had an affair with a man in the village and Deputy Captain Luo knew about it. However, Deputy Captain Luo saved face for Li Pandi and did not tell anyone about it.
She only knew about this when her husband Lao Lei let it slip after getting drunk.
Jiang Nian glanced at Luo Xiaoyue who walked into the corridor and her eyelids jumped suddenly. Could it be that her guess in her heart was true?
Yue Qiao saw that Jiang Nian hadn't said anything for a long time, so she touched her arm with her elbow: "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Nian shook her head: "Nothing."
Lu Yu was very busy these days, and he almost didn't have time to come back for lunch, and he didn't get home until very late at night.
At night, Jiang Nian was sleeping in a daze, and she noticed that her body sank a little. She turned over and hid in Lu Yu's arms out of habit, and put her hand on the man's abdominal muscles and touched it, and continued to sleep soundly. Lu Yu smiled unhappily, pinched the restless hand, and kissed Jiang Nian's face as she slept sweetly.
The next day, Lu Yu left before dawn, leaving the breakfast in the pot. After breakfast, Jiang Nian went to the county hospital with Yue Qiao to see Guan Lu. Guan Lu looked much better, and the doctor said she would be discharged from the hospital almost tomorrow. It was almost lunchtime, so the two went to the riverside of the park to wait for Luo Xiaoyue and Li Pandi.
After standing behind the tree for a while, they saw Luo Xiaoyue running over with her schoolbag on her back. Not long after, Li Pandi also came. After they talked for a few words, Li Pandi took out a bag from her small cloth bag and stuffed it into Luo Xiaoyue's schoolbag, and whispered a few words to her.
Yue Qiaoxiu frowned tightly, staring at the mother and daughter, and asked Jiang Nian: "Did you hear what they said?"
Jiang Nian said: "They spoke too softly, I couldn't hear it."
But seeing Li Pandi stuffing things and sneaking around, she knew it was not a good thing. Jiang Nian had a hunch that this thing was probably for Guan Lu. Yue Qiao had the same idea as her. After Luo Xiaoyue left, Yue Qiao chased after her.
Jiang Nian originally wanted to stay put, tell Guan Lu and Deputy Head Luo about it, and control Luo Xiaoyue's actions in her sight, but Yue Qiao got angry and Jiang Nian couldn't hold her back at all. He suddenly broke her hand and rushed over to stop Luo Xiaoyue.
Jiang Nian: ...
When Luo Xiaoyue saw Yue Qiao and Jiang Nian, her face changed, and she tightened her grip on the strap of her schoolbag and took two steps back: "Aunt Jiang, Aunt Yue, why are you here?"
Yue Qiao glanced at her schoolbag, and Luo Xiaoyue tightened her grip on the strap even more, with a look of vigilance on her face.
"What did your mother pack for you?"
Yue Qiao asked directly, her tone cold and hard.
Luo Xiaoyue said, "She packed some delicious food for me."
Then she ran to the side, trying to avoid Yue Qiao. Yue Qiao was quick to grab Luo Xiaoyue's schoolbag and was about to search it. Luo Xiaoyue was so angry that she tried to shake it hard, trying to break away from Yue Qiao's strength, but a child's strength was no match for an adult's, and she could only watch helplessly as her things were snatched away.
"Do you believe me? I'll call the police!"
"You're committing robbery!"
Luo Xiaoyue stiffened her neck and tried to snatch it, but Yue Qiao pushed her away with one hand. She quickly opened the small cloth bag, which contained a bag of medicine residue. Yue Qiao and Jiang Nian didn't understand pharmacology, but they knew without thinking that it was not a good thing. So Yue Qiao took Luo Xiaoyue to the hospital and said, "I'll show it to the doctor. I don't believe the doctor doesn't know about it. I want to see what dirty thoughts you and your mother have."
Luo Xiaoyue tried to step back, but when she saw that she couldn't get rid of Yue Qiao's hand, she lowered her head and was about to bite it. Jiang Nian quickly stepped forward, grabbed Yue Qiao's hand and pushed it forward, avoiding Luo Xiaoyue's mouth, and looked at her coldly, "Luo Xiaoyue, do you want to keep making mistakes with your mother?"
Luo Xiaoyue stared at Jiang Nian angrily and said viciously: "This is my business. What does it have to do with you? You are a wild woman without a mother's family. Is it your turn to control me?!"
This was the first time that Jiang Nian felt directly how vicious a child was. She took off her well-behaved disguise and revealed her darkest side.
Yue Qiao was also angry. She dragged Luo Xiaoyue away. As soon as she turned around, she ran into Deputy Head Luo who ran over.
"What happened?"
Deputy Head Luo frowned and watched Yue Qiao and Jiang Nian embarrass Luo Xiaoyue, but he didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, so he didn't blame her. He wanted to ask first.
As soon as Luo Chengyi appeared, Luo Xiaoyue's vicious discrimination instantly withered, and she was replaced by a wronged look. Yue Qiao was too lazy to watch her pretend any longer, and said to Luo Chengyi: "Jiang Nian and I saw with our own eyes that your ex-wife gave her a bag of Chinese medicine. I don't know what the mother and daughter are thinking about to deal with Guan Lu. I took her to the hospital to see a doctor and let the doctor see what kind of medicine this is. She was so scared that she didn't dare to go with me."
"This is the medicine my mother bought for me to replenish my body!"
Luo Xiaoyue tried to grab it, but Yue Qiao lifted it up to avoid her. Yue Qiao looked at Luo Chengyi and sneered, "Deputy Captain Luo, do you believe it?"
Luo Chengyi looked at Luo Xiaoyue without saying anything, but Luo Xiaoyue clearly saw the disappointment in his eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and she continued to argue, "Dad, what I said is true. Do you believe that they don't believe their own daughter?" Yue Qiao said, " Then do you dare to go to the hospital with us to find a doctor and confront him face to face?" Luo Xiaoyue stopped talking for a moment. Luo Chengyi said to Yue Qiao, "Dad, what I said is true. Do you believe that they don't believe their own daughter?"
Yue Qiao said, "Then do you dare to go to the hospital with us to find a doctor and confront him face to face?" Yue
Qiao said, "Give me the medicine."
Yue Qiao was unwilling and insisted on dragging Luo Xiaoyue to the hospital. Today, she was so stubborn that she wanted to expose Luo Xiaoyue's lies. Seeing this, Jiang Nian walked up to Yue Qiao, took the Chinese medicine from her hand, and patted Yue Qiao's stiff arm: "Give it to Deputy Head Luo."
The starting point of this matter was to expose the conspiracy of Luo Xiaoyue and Li Pandi and let Deputy Head Luo know about this matter. Now Deputy Head Luo has understood that if he continues to make trouble, it will not be good for Yue Qiao, but will make Deputy Head Luo have a grudge against Yue Qiao.
Some things are best to stop at the right time. Doing too much will leave people with grudges.
Deputy Head Luo took the medicine handed over by Jiang Nian, looked at her gratefully, and took Luo Xiaoyue away first.
Yue Qiao was so angry that she said to Jiang Nian: "Why are you stopping me? I just want to let Deputy Captain Luo see the true face of this girl!"
Jiang Nian said: "Deputy Captain Luo already knows."
Yue Qiao was stunned: "Know?"
"Yeah."
It doesn't matter what this medicine is used for now. As for how to deal with Luo Xiaoyue's matter, it depends on what Deputy Captain Luo does. If Deputy Captain Luo keeps quiet and is unwilling to let this matter ferment, no matter how much they do, it will be useless. Unless Luo Xiaoyue is sent away, today's incident will happen again.
Jiang Nian and Yue Qiao went to the hospital to see Guan Lu. Yue Qiao told Guan Lu about this matter. At the end, she angrily complained that Deputy Captain Luo was indecisive and not a good husband. Guan Lu didn't say a word and kept looking up and staring out the window.
Jiang Nian sat on the bedside, stretched out his hand to hold Guan Lu's cold hand. Guan Lu's eyelashes flickered, and she looked back at Jiang Nian, pursed her lips and smiled, and her originally rosy face showed a little paleness again. Jiang Nian said softly: "Deputy Captain Luo has a scale in his heart. It depends on what he does. When you go back, you should also be careful. Don't eat or drink anything that is out of your sight. You should be more cautious about some things. Better."
Guan Lu nodded: "I understand."
After a while, Jiang Nian and Yue Qiao went back. When Lu Yu came back in the evening, Jiang Nian told him what happened today. She deliberately avoided what Luo Xiaoyue said about her. She also felt that Luo Xiaoyue's thoughts towards the mother and daughter were too vicious. Lu Yu pinched some meat for Jiang Nian, looked at her bulging cheeks, and couldn't help pinching her cheeks.
Jiang Nian: ...
She leaned back and glared at him with her bright eyes. Lu Yu chuckled, "No more pinching."
He said seriously, "We can't interfere in this matter. If Luo Chengyi cares about Guan Lu and the baby in her belly, he knows what to do."
Jiang Nian drank a sip of soup and couldn't help asking, "What do you think he will do?"
Seeing that Lu Yu didn't say anything, Jiang Nian put down his chopsticks, stood up and approached him, rarely stretching out his hand to hold her. She held his neck and said coquettishly in his arms: "Do you know?"
Even though he was sitting, his eyes were level with Jiang Nian. The man held her waist and held her on his lap, looking down at Jiang Nian's bright eyes blinking, full of curiosity, and reached out to rub her head: "Luo Chengyi is handling Luo Xiaoyue's transfer today. It is possible that she will be sent back to the countryside and be taken care of by her grandmother."
Jiang Nian immediately understood.
In this way, Guan Lu can also stay in the family building more comfortably.
There was a knock on the door. Jiang Nian jumped up and broke away from Lu Yu's arms, ran to open the door. It was He Yue standing outside with a basket of vegetables in her hand. Jiang Nian was stunned: "What are you going to do with so many vegetables?"
He Yue walked in and put the vegetables on the table. Seeing Lu Yu at home, she greeted him and then said to Jiang Nian: "I will stay at my mother's house for two days and help my mother with some work. Let Fang Guo and Fang Xia come back from school for dinner. You keep these vegetables."
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Okay."
She didn't refuse, knowing that He Yue would not resign if she didn't take them.
He Yue sat here for a while, talking about Deputy Commander Luo's family, glanced at Jiang Nian, and whispered: "I heard from Yue Qiao today that you should not take Xiaoyue's words to heart. It's not worth getting angry with that kind of person." Jiang Nian smiled and said
, "I'm fine."
Lu Yu paused with his hand holding the military uniform, lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Nian's drooping eyelashes, and asked He Yue: "What did Luo Xiaoyue say?"
He Yue said: "She said Jiang Nian is a wild woman without a mother's family, and she is also a woman with no parents. " I don't know who taught her this. She looks well-behaved and sensible, but I didn't expect that she has such a bad heart. I almost got fooled by her."
Lu Yu frowned, and smiled at Jiang Nian: "I don't take it to heart."
She really didn't take Luo Xiaoyue's words seriously. Others didn't know about her affairs, but she knew that the people in the Jiang family were not worthy of being her family members. The word "wild woman" did make Jiang Nian feel a little uncomfortable.
Lu Yu said: "I'm going to the group."
After Lu Yu closed the door and went out, He Yue talked about family matters again, sat for a while and left.
Half a month had passed since the incident with Luo Xiaoyue. During this half month, Guan Lu had been on guard against Luo Xiaoyue at home. She would not drink water out of her sight and locked the door before going to bed at night. Guan Lu now came to see Jiang Nian every day and stayed at her house until noon before going back.
This half month was safe and sound, and nothing happened.
Last time Lu Yu said that Luo Chengyi was arranging for Luo Xiaoyue to transfer to another school, it has been half a month and there is still no movement. She doesn't know if Luo Chengyi has changed his mind. She asked Guan Lu indirectly, but Guan Lu knew nothing about it.
She thought that the matter was shelved, but two days later, a big event came from outside the army.
This afternoon, Jiang Nian was embroidering in the house, and the door of the house was banging loudly, as if it was a death sentence. Jiang Nian hurried over to open the door. It was He Yue and Yue Qiao who were banging on the door outside. Yue Qiao grabbed Jiang Nian and ran out, saying that there was a commotion outside the army, and it was the commotion at Deputy Commander Luo's house.
Jiang Nian went back and closed the door, and followed He Yue. On the way, he heard He Yue explain that it was Deputy Head Luo's ex-mother-in-law and a man who came and made a big fuss and insisted on seeing Deputy Head Luo and Luo Xiaoyue. There was a big
commotion outside. If Chen Ping and her friends hadn't come back from the supply and marketing cooperative and bumped into it and told Yue Qiao, Yue Qiao would not have known about it. This
