Chapter 14 Sister-in-law, help me!
In the army, Huo Yan was reporting to his division commander Wang Zheng, requesting a quick check on Zhou Fang. As he was speaking, he suddenly sneezed.
"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold, or is your sister-in-law talking about you?" Xie Rongjun asked with a hint of sarcasm.
Wang Zheng joked: "Bring your wife to show me next time."
"Yes." Huo Yan responded, glanced at Xie Rongjun, and continued to report seriously.
Xie Rongjun coughed and touched his nose.
…
Military compound, Huo family.
After Su Lingyu finished her cool tea, Chen Yuxiang smiled, took her hand and led her to the closet in her room.
"Huo Yan just called me and said he was busy and couldn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative with you, so he asked me to go with you this afternoon. I thought, I have a few new cheongsams here that I haven't worn yet. The fabric is many times better than the ones in the supply and marketing cooperative. If you like them, you can take them and wear them casually."
Su Lingyu was a little surprised.
Huo Yan actually called home on purpose. Did he like being abused? He had just been beaten up by her and she even said that he was not a man.
Chen Yuxiang added: "These cheongsams are all summer wear. If you like them, when the weather gets cooler, I'll take you to make some for autumn and winter!"
As she spoke, she opened the large rosewood wardrobe, took out several cheongsams and placed them on the bed.
The elegant, simple and charming clothing style, the smooth and textured fabric, and the exquisite workmanship instantly caught Su Lingyu's attention.
She was brought up in wealth and was very knowledgeable about goods. She could tell at a glance that these cheongsams were definitely custom-made.
According to the current prices, it would cost at least one or two hundred yuan, or even three or four hundred yuan per piece.
In later times, it would cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars to make it, and it would even be difficult to find a skilled craftsman.
It's rare that the size is right, so you can wear it right away.
She was tempted, but still refused: "Mom, I don't need it, you can keep it for yourself."
Chen Yuxiang smiled brightly when she called her "Mom". She shook her head in disapproval: "Why can't I take it? I said I can take it! I made this when I was young. I couldn't bear to wear it then, and now I can't wear it either. I just give it to you."
"This……"
"Okay, stop being so fussy. Just take it away when I tell you to." Chen Yuxiang stuffed the clothes directly into Su Lingyu's arms.
She originally wanted to say that she would definitely pressure Huo Yan to take the initiative in their married life, but then she thought it was not appropriate to say it out loud, so she didn't say it.
Su Lingyu carried a few cheongsams back to the room, stood in front of the dressing mirror and compared them on her body one by one, her red lips slightly curled up, revealing the first genuine smile in the past two days.
[Host, you finally smiled! Are you so happy to have new clothes? ]
Su Lingyu raised her eyebrows and asked with a half-smile: [What do you think? My previous cloakroom was about 50 to 60 square meters, and I had someone to organize my clothes. I could wear different clothes every day for each season... What do I have now? ]
【……】
[What I lack is just these cheongsams? It’s a whole dressing room! ]
System: [……]
It's wrong.
The people downstairs called for lunch, and Su Lingyu chose her favorite cheongsam to put on.
Unlike the clothes I wore before that rubbed my skin and made it red and painful, this cheongsam not only fits me well, but the fabric is also comfortable, soft, drapey and breathable.
She felt better and was in a much better mood.
Knowing that Su Lingyu had returned home, Huo Xiang raised his head as soon as he heard footsteps.
At this sight, her eyes lit up.
The woman who slowly came down the stairs had snow-white skin, red lips, a pair of dark, charming almond-shaped eyes that sparkled, a slender and graceful figure, and a classic and cool demeanor, like a beauty who had walked out of a picture magazine.
The upper part of the cheongsam she was wearing was moon white, with the hem stained with a hint of blue-purple. It was split on one side to the middle of the thigh, and the collar and cuffs were embroidered with blue irises, which looked fresh and elegant.
She was stunned, her lips parted stupidly, her eyes were wide open, and her whole body fell into an inexplicable blank state, as if her soul had been taken away.
"What's wrong?" Su Lingyu glanced at her lightly, "Wipe your saliva."
"Ah...Ah!" Huo Xiang lowered her head with a red face as the fragrant aroma came over her. She stammered, "Sister-in-law, come and have dinner. Today, Aunt Zhang specially made your favorite bamboo fungus chicken soup."
Cover your face, it's so embarrassing! She was stunned by her sister-in-law's beauty!
Her brother’s “food” is so good!
Su Lingyu sat down gracefully, and was quite pleased with her hospitality, but reminded her, "I don't like bamboo fungus chicken soup anymore. Make me some spicy dishes in the future, like yesterday's taro chicken."
Her taste is different from the original owner. The original owner likes light food, but she only likes fresh, fragrant and spicy food.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell Aunt Zhang later." Huo Xiang agreed quickly and considerately put a bowl of Fuqi Feipian in front of her.
Su Lingyu looked at her approvingly.
sensible.
After dinner, Su Lingyu didn’t stay downstairs for long and went upstairs to take a nap.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, as soon as Huo Yan came back, he was directly pulled into Huo Jianguo's study by Huo Lang.
When he entered the house, everyone was there.
Huo Lang closed the door and asked anxiously, "Brother, have you met Commander Wang? What did he say? Will he take action as soon as possible to arrest that bastard named Zhou Fang?"
The other people also looked at Huo Yan with concern.
Huo Yan stayed in the army to deal with Zhou Fang's matter. Fearing that his family would worry, he called home early to inform them of the situation, so they all knew about it.
Huo Yan nodded and said, "Although Commander Wang is skeptical about this matter, he also gave me and Xie Rongjun full trust. Because there is no solid evidence, the higher-ups should focus on secret searches. After they have evidence that Zhou Fang is colluding with the enemy and selling out the country, they will play a long game and catch the big fish. It would be best if they can catch all the people behind him in one fell swoop!"
"That's good!" Huo Jianguo nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "If this is true, your wife has made a great contribution. Did the higher-ups tell us what their attitude is towards your wife?"
"Not yet. I guess we need to see the situation first and study it further." Huo Yan shook his head, "But I guess that after Zhou Fang's matter is over, the higher-ups may contact us immediately."
Huo Jianguo nodded.
According to the existing information, the value of Su Lingyu is too great. The country is in a state of waste and waiting to be rebuilt, so it will definitely recruit talents without any restrictions and will not let such a treasure mountain go unused.
"Um."
"What happened when you took your wife to the military camp today? Tell me in detail." Huo Jianguo said again.
Huo Yan replied "OK" and described it concisely.
There are roughly several points:
First, not everyone can hear Su Lingyu's inner voice. The proportion is not high, but who can and who can't, and what the reasons are, have not yet been summarized.
Second, Su Lingyu has superb medical skills and is also involved in autism.
Third, Su Lingyu is arrogant but kind...
As he spoke, the Huo family members nodded continuously.
After Huo Yan finished speaking, Chen Yuxiang said directly: "This is too bizarre. Due to various reasons, the country certainly cannot reward Ling Yu with great fanfare, but we cannot treat her unfairly. Not only must we not treat her unfairly materially, but we must also treat her better and love her more. Especially you, Huo Yan!"
Huo Yan: “……?”
Being suddenly called out and meeting Chen Yuxiang's murderous gaze, Huo Yan had a bad feeling for some reason.
It was like I was suddenly back to the time when I was seven or eight years old and was about to be caned for making mistakes.
But he never showed his emotions, and there was nothing wrong on his face.
The serious business had been discussed, and what she was going to say next was not suitable for children to hear. Chen Yuxiang angrily dismissed the idlers, closed the door, and asked her troublesome eldest son directly.
"You, tell me! Although you and Lingyu were forced to marry each other, now that you have married your wife, you should still treat her well. Tell me, why don't you want to consummate the marriage?"
"..." Huo Yan's handsome face quickly turned red and his ears felt hot.
At this moment, Huo Xiang and Huo Lang, two "idle people" who were eavesdropping on the door, looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes, and exclaimed almost at the same time:
"What?"
"No?"
Then, they both covered their mouths tightly at the same time, with a look of despair on their faces.
Finished!
They are definitely going to be dealt with!
"Sister-in-law, should you take a nap now?" Huo Lang suddenly asked.
Huo Xiang understood immediately and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, let's go find my sister-in-law for help!"
At this moment, the door creaked open, and a face as cold as King Huo Yanyan appeared behind the door.
"..." Huo Lang and Huo Xiang immediately ran away, covering their heads and running wildly towards the direction of Su Lingyu and Huo Yan's bedroom, howling like ghosts.
"Sister-in-law, open the door!"
"Sister-in-law, help me!"
