Su Ying and Lu Dongsheng looked at each other. Lu Dongsheng looked towards the door, and with a creaky sound, the door was pushed open from the outside.
It’s Li Qiang’s sister-in-law Jiang Rumeng.
Jiang Rumeng is a Chinese teacher in a primary school in the county. Once, when she was going back to the compound to visit her sister, she accidentally twisted her foot on the way. Lu Dongsheng drove by and took her back.
From then on, Jiang Rumeng would come to the compound to see her sister every weekend.
On the surface, she was looking at her sister, but her sister knew that her sister might have a man in her heart.
Jiang Rumeng heard the news that he was coming back today at noon, and came here on his bicycle as soon as the get out of class was over in the afternoon.
When she came, she was holding a bag of peach cakes in her hand. As soon as she came in, she saw Su Ying with a puzzled look on her face. She paused for a moment and felt as if cold water had been poured over her whole body.
At noon, her elder sister called her and said that Lu Dongsheng would come back today and brought a woman with him.
She didn't believe it, but after seeing it with her own eyes, she couldn't step in.
...
...
Before he went home, he just said he was going back, but he didn't say he would get married.
Tears welled up in Jiang Rumeng's eyes, as if Lu Dongsheng had done something treacherous.
She tightened her grip on the door handle and her face turned paler.
Lu Dongsheng asked: "Teacher Jiang, why are you back? Is there something wrong?
Jiang Rumeng's gaze fell on Su Ying's face, and finally on Lu Dongsheng's face.
Her eyes were wet, she lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, her red lips opened and closed, and her voice was soft and sticky.
"Brother Lu, can you come out for a moment? I want to talk to you alone."
Lu Dongsheng stood up and placed the lunch box on the wooden stake at the head of the bed.
"If you have anything to say, just say it here. This is my wife, not an outsider."
It would have been fine if Lu Dongsheng didn't explain, but once he did, Jiang Rumeng felt even worse.
How long have they known each other? Have they known each other for as long as the two of them?
Why did he get married as soon as he returned?
This woman must have used some despicable means to force him.
Jiang Rumeng was unwilling to accept the fact. Why did the person she liked end up marrying someone else?
No, Brother Lu must be hiding something.
Jiang Rumeng's eyes reddened as she looked at Su Ying. She looked prettier than herself, but her clothes were a bit rustic. Judging from her appearance, she must have come from the countryside.
After all, she is an educated person and a teacher. What advantages does she have?
Su Ying also took a look at Jiang Rumeng. She was wearing a white dress and her long hair made her look gentle. Her facial features were not stunning but very decent. However, her eyes were gentle yet threatening.
Jiang Rumeng bit her lip and choked up softly, "Brother Lu, some things are not convenient to say in front of others. I still want to talk to you alone."
Lu Dongsheng felt a little annoyed. He didn't want Su Ying to misunderstand. Besides, if other people in the compound saw them talking alone, they would definitely gossip behind their backs.
Su Ying picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into her mouth, not minding at all.
"Your name is Jiang, Jiang Rumeng, right? Dongsheng, go ahead. It's better to talk it out if you have anything to say."
Lu Dongsheng then said: "Okay, let's go to the yard."
Lu Dongsheng came out without closing the door, and Su Ying sat on a small stool to eat.
It was mentioned in the original novel that Jiang Rumeng liked Lu Dongsheng, but later when Lu Dongsheng was injured, she was unwilling to marry him.
Jiang Rumeng in the book was wearing a white dress when she first appeared, a true white moonlight.
But she is not Lu Dongsheng's white moonlight.
Lu Dongsheng stood where Su Ying could see him and said, "What's the matter?"
"Brother Lu, they said you were married, is that true?"
"Teacher Jiang, the person inside is the one I married formally. Do you still want me to show you the marriage certificate?"
Seeing that Lu Dongsheng was still so distant from her, she suddenly felt a little sad.
If she had known that he would marry someone else after his return, she would have told him her feelings in advance.
"Brother Lu, that's not what I meant. It's just that you've been back for just over a month, and you've already married someone. I'm a little worried that you've been deceived."
"Thank you for your kind reminder, Mr. Jiang. Do you have anything else to do?"
"Brother Lu, do you have any unspeakable secrets?"
Lu Dongsheng felt that Jiang Rumeng was a little strange. She was hesitant and spoke with hidden meanings. This was different from her usual gentle and sensible self.
"Brother Lu, I care about you too."
"No, I'm fine. It's getting late, so you should go back and eat."
Not far away, several military wives were gathered together with bowls and chopsticks, talking and laughing. When they saw this scene, they winked at each other.
"I said Jiang Rumeng would come to see Captain Lu, and I was right."
"What's the point of finding her? Captain Lu's wife has already been brought here. She shouldn't have gone over to disturb her. It's too late to say anything now."
"Don't tell me, I used to see Jiang Rumeng always following Captain Lu around, and I thought they were going to get married, but who would have thought that Captain Lu would do it first and ask for permission later."
"Yes, but marriage is something you can't force."
All of them were staring at the two of them. Jiang Rumeng said, "Brother Lu, come to my house for dinner with my sister-in-law some other day."
"I appreciate your kindness, but it's late, let's go back."
Lu Dongsheng couldn't think that far. He turned around and went into the house, leaving only his back to Jiang Rumeng.
Jiang Rumeng couldn't help but shed tears, and the snacks in her hands felt heavy.
She wiped away her tears stubbornly as she turned around in disappointment. Her sisters-in-law sighed when they saw it.
"Oh, you're crying now."
"That's right, why are you crying?"
Lu Dongsheng thought Su Ying would be angry, but when he went in, he saw that Su Ying was already eating.
Lu Dongsheng sat in front of her and said, "Other women came to your man, why didn't you react at all?"
Su Ying put a mouthful of rice into her mouth. She had been eating fat-reducing meals every day in order to lose weight, but now she realized that rice can be so delicious.
"She came to see you, and you didn't do anything, so how should I react?
Is she here to snatch you from me?"
Lu Dongsheng was very satisfied with this. It seemed that his wife could still be saved, but she was just hard on the outside but soft on the inside. Even if she said she didn't mind, she definitely minded in her heart.
"Don't worry. If she can be snatched away, it means you don't have me in your heart. Besides, a lover who can be snatched away is not a good lover. There are thousands of men in the world. If she doesn't work, I will change every day."
Lu Dongsheng clenched his fists and stared at Su Ying expressionlessly. She had spoken hastily and was just joking, but it turned out that this guy looked really angry.
Lu Dongsheng said word by word: "Su Ying, if you have the guts, say the last sentence again."
Su Ying was not afraid of him at all. She smiled at him and repeated the last sentence. Lu Dongsheng gritted his teeth and looked like he was about to explode with anger.
He reached out and flicked her forehead a little harder: "If you say that again, I'll beat your ass."
The sound of the couple's quarreling faintly came into Jiang Rumeng's ears from the room, and she bit her lower lip hard.
She would not give up so easily. She had never failed to get what she had loved since she was a child.
