Chapter 90
"Who are you scolding?!"
Xu Yan was the first one to get anxious. She didn't care about anything else and turned back to grab Kang Nan's arm and slapped her. The slap was so sudden that not only Kang Nan herself didn't react, but Jiang Nian and the old lady also didn't react. Xu Yan was more powerful now than before. Liu Qiang didn't do anything and wasn't at home. There was only her and the two children at home. She felt that if she wasn't powerful enough, anyone who saw the three of them would bully them.
Kang Nan reacted and tried to hit Xu Yan, but was slapped in the face by Xu Yan, who then cursed him, "You are the slut. You shamelessly wanted to marry Captain Lu, but Captain Lu ignored you and now you want to find Vice Captain Song. Do you really think you are so popular that any man would be interested in you? With the way you look, you should be thankful to heaven and earth if you can get married!"
Xu Yan said a lot of things that made Kang Nan speechless.
Kang Xiu finally reacted and went forward to fight with Xu Yan. Jiang Nian quickly went forward and pulled Xu Yan back. Kang Xiu was shocked when she saw Jiang Nian. She had suffered from Jiang Nian before. Even now, people still pointed at her when she gave a "speech" door to door. And this time, it was Kang Nan who caused trouble first. What if Jiang Nian did something weird again and messed with the two sisters? What's more,
Jiang Nian was the wife of the head of the group. Even if the relationship between her and the head of the group, Lu, was gossiped about, she was not someone she could easily mess with. Kang Nan didn't understand these things, but she did understand a little.
Kang Xiu is now thinking that it is better to have less trouble than more. Kang Nan doesn't think so. After being slapped twice, she wants to vent her anger. She wants to fight with Xu Yan with her big belly. The old lady stands up at this time and says with a cold face: "Kang family, you are wrong in this matter first. If you hadn't cursed first, would Xu Yan hit you? Listen to what you cursed. No one would be able to bear this. If you still feel wronged, then we will ask Captain Lu to talk to the captain of our second regiment about this matter and see who is more wrong? Who started this matter first?"
Xu Yan's blow was heavy, leaving two five-finger marks on Kang Nan's face. The old lady said again: "It was wrong for Xu Yan to hit people. If it was her fault, she should apologize to you. Then you have to admit your mistake too!"
Xu Yan also said at the right time: "Auntie, you are right. Let's go find the commander of the second regiment. I admit my fault, but you have to admit your mistake too. How did you scold Commander Lu's wife? You have to explain this!"
Kang Nan stopped talking for a moment, his face turned blue. Kang Xiu was really scared. The last lesson had taught her a lesson. If this matter was brought to the commander of the second regiment, she and Kang Nan would not be able to get any benefit. Not to mention that she would be scolded by her husband because of this matter. She couldn't avoid it no matter how she thought about it, so she dragged Kang Nan away.
Seeing that Kang Nan was not convinced and didn't want to leave, Jiang Nian took the initiative to say, "Then let's go to the head of the second regiment and explain this matter clearly. I don't want to be accused of seducing my brother-in-law."
Kang Xiu was the first to scare when she said this.
She didn't want to let the incident of that year happen again, so she dragged Kang Nan tightly and walked away: "We won't go to the head of the regiment. We have something else to do."
Kang Nan was pregnant and didn't dare to pull Kang Xiu hard, so she could only let her pull her away. On the way, she shook off Kang Xiu's hand unhappily and said angrily, "Sister, why did you have to pull me? Did I take these two slaps in vain? Look at how Xu Yan beat me. I think my face is swollen!" She became
more and more angry as she spoke, and stomped her feet as she walked.
Kang Xiu glanced at Kang Nan's face, which had two red finger marks on it and was already starting to swell. But even so, she had to endure it. She pulled Kang Nan and said, "You were the one who scolded Jiang Nian first. Even if we make a scene at the head of the Second Regiment and make Xu Yan apologize to you, what about you and Jiang Nian? Do you want to go door to door and give people 'lectures' like me? Besides, your brother-in-law may be promoted this year. If he is delayed because of this, I will never forgive you!"
Kang Nan still felt uncomfortable, but he finally listened to Kang Xiu's words.
She didn't want to give a speech like her sister, and she didn't want to be hated by her sister's family. She was only able to be looked at more by her mother-in-law and father-in-law in her husband's house because of her brother-in-law's position as a company commander. If her sister stopped associating with her in the future, she would have no status at all in her husband's family.
Kang Xiu glanced at her sister next to her. Kang Nan had been with her for nine days. The approval slip applied by He Yong stated that it was for ten days. Her sister would leave after one more day. For the first time, Kang Xiu felt that if her sister left, she might have less trouble.
Kang Xiu and her sister went back to the family compound twice. Jiang Nian left the army and went to the supply and marketing station to buy some candies, peanuts and melon seeds. He also bought ten kilograms of liquor. After buying these, he went to the vegetable station and food station to buy a lot of meat and vegetables.
Jiang Nian and Xu Yan's baskets were full, and the old lady's basket was also full.
On the way back, the old lady said, "I'll be busy later and you can do it together. I'm free anyway."
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
From beginning to end, the old lady never mentioned anything about her and Lu Yu.
To get back to the army from the vegetable station, you have to pass through a main street. Two people came from the opposite side of the main street. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was followed by a woman who was not well dressed. She had short hair and lowered her head. The skin exposed was dark and dry, as if she had been working in the fields for a long time and was exposed to the sun.
Jiang Nian inexplicably felt that the woman looked familiar. She lowered her head and couldn't recognize who she was for a moment. However, the old lady and Xu Yan beside her paused, and their eyes swept over the woman opposite.
She also paused and couldn't help but look at the woman opposite for a few more times.
The man seemed to have noticed something, raised his head and glanced over here, and in an instant a familiar face caught her eyes.
It turned out to be Zheng Hong.
Her cheeks were dark and thin, and her eye sockets were sunken. The long hair that was beautifully combed before was cut short. She looked older. Judging from her relationship with the man in front, she looked a bit like a couple.
Zheng Hong didn't expect to meet her former mother-in-law and Xu Yan here, and she didn't expect to meet Jiang Nian. Being seen by the person she once hated the most was like telling others how bad her life was after leaving Lu Guosheng.
She quickly lowered her head and followed her husband in front of her.
Jiang Nian looked back at Zheng Hong and the man again. Looking at the two figures, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, and a plot also emerged in her mind: On a hot summer day, there were few pedestrians on the street. When Sun Ying and Zheng Hong were returning from the supply and marketing cooperative, they saw Xu Yan with an old man. People next to them told Zheng Hong and Sun Ying that after Xu Yan divorced Liu Qiang, she married an old bachelor in the village.
Jiang Nian's heart trembled, he turned his head to look at the old lady, pursed his lips, and asked: "Auntie, do you know who is the man who walked with Zheng Hong?"
