The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

Chang Ning said no wonder, "She looks very well-maintained and doesn't seem like she's done any heavy work."

Such people are rare in the family compound. Although they all come to accompany the military, and the military provides preferential treatment to their families, it doesn't provide everything for free.

In addition to taking care of household chores, the family members also had to do some farm work. The army allocated a plot of land to each family, and the crops they grew could supplement their income.

Chang Ning's family is an exception. First, Chang Ning doesn't know how to farm, and second, Jiang Linghan didn't even apply for the allowance, as his allowance is enough to support two people.

I imagine that Mrs. Zhou was the same.

Sister Tian said, "It's completely different! You're the one who cares about Commander Jiang, while she's like a complaining woman all day long!"

"How to say?"

Chang Ning became interested and pulled Sister Tian to sit down in the courtyard. The sun was already high in the sky, and it felt warm on their skin. She took away the two cups that had been used to serve the guests and said, "I'll go get you a new cup!"

After a while, I made two cups of malted milk powder: "Drink this, it's sweet!"

Sister Tian was flattered: "Sister Chang, you're too kind. Just a glass of water will do!"

"Sister Tian, ​​don't be so polite with me. I felt an instant connection with you after I came here!"

Sister Tian laughed, "You've only been here for a short time. Most of the people in the family compound are quite nice."

Chang Ning pulled the chair closer: "Sister Tian, ​​tell me, what's the deal with that Sister Zhou?"

Sister Tian said, "I heard that she is the daughter of some leader. Before she got married, she lived in a big city. She is very different from us from the countryside."

Chang Ning didn't quite understand. "That just means they're lucky."

"I'm so lucky, too lucky! I want everything I see!"

Sister Tian said that Sister Zhou's father used to be a leader in this military region. One year, she came to visit her father and stayed here for a few days. One day, she suddenly met Commander Li in the canteen or somewhere else and fell in love with him at first sight!

She was also very bold; after finding out who it was in private, she went to Commander Li and confessed her feelings to him in person.

She was only in her early twenties that year, young and beautiful. Her father was a military leader, and he fell in love with her at first sight. Logically speaking, no normal man would refuse, but Commander Li refused, saying that he had a fiancée back in his hometown.

Zhou Lanfen was displeased and asked him if his fiancée was prettier than her.

Commander Li said no, but the two were betrothed since childhood, and both sets of parents had made it public, just waiting for him to go back home during the Lunar New Year holiday to get married.

The matter would have been resolved once it was brought up, but for some reason, Lanfen was convinced that his marriage was arranged by his parents and matchmakers, which was an old feudal idea and a bad habit that needed to be eradicated!

So he devised a way to spread rumors with Commander Li, which eventually spread far and wide. The leaders all came to persuade him to stay. At the time, he was just a battalion commander, and he had no choice but to marry Zhou Lanfen.

"Over the years, everyone in the family compound has come to understand that Commander Li doesn't like her at all, and the relationship between the couple is lukewarm."

Sister Tian said, "We've been married for seven or eight years and we still don't have a child. She doesn't have to work in the fields, so of course she's just bored and has nothing to do."

There were some arguments in the first two years of their marriage. According to Sister Tian, ​​people in the family compound could watch the drama all day long. But two years later, Zhou Lanfen's father was transferred away, and she was left alone.

If she continued to make a fuss, no one would stand up for her, so she gradually calmed down. But later on, she became increasingly displeased with those couples who had good relationships. She often talked behind their backs and even made up lies.

"Commander Li spends half the month living in the barracks dormitory, and the rest of the time she's either on missions. She can count the number of times she goes home on one hand. No wonder her resentment is growing!"

"She's got her eye on you now. Everyone has seen what your Commander Jiang has done. Don't take what she says to heart!"

Chang Ning hadn't expected there to be such a story behind it. After hearing it, he felt deeply moved and asked Sister Tian, ​​"What happened to Commander Li's fiancée? What became of her?"

"I don't know, but I guess she got married."

Sister Tian lowered her voice again: "You don't know, some men were engaged in the countryside, some were even married, but once they became successful, they all turned their backs on them and found young and beautiful wives to be their new wives!"

Chang Ning asked, "Who are they?"

Sister Tian said, "You'll know if you observe more in your daily life."

So it's rare to find someone who stays loyal to their partner from the countryside, but then someone else ruined things. Who can really explain these things?

"Commander Li and Sister-in-law Zhou, haven't you ever thought about getting a divorce?"

Sister Tian said, "Nobody knows about that. They used to argue a lot in the first two years, but they stopped arguing later, and Commander Li spent less time at home."

"Zhou Lanfen has such great qualities, yet she's turned herself into a bitter, resentful woman!" Sister Tian sighed. "I've finally figured it out: women need to stand on their own two feet and not revolve their lives around men!"

After saying that, she sighed a little, "I guess this is how my life will be. I have elderly parents to take care of and young children to raise. All I can do all day is deal with these family matters."

"But you're different, Changmei. Let me tell you the truth: you're still young, you can't rely on a man for everything, think more about yourself!"

She clearly had a second half to say, but Chang Ning understood what she meant: if Jiang Linghan changed his mind, she had to make sure she could live a good life too.

When Jiang Linghan returned home in the evening, he bought some food from the cafeteria—two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. Noticing that she was lost in thought while eating, he poked her hand with the tip of his chopsticks: "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about whether I should find a job."

That's why we're talking about the new society. It's not like ancient times where women could only stay at home to be wives and mothers. Now, women can go out and find a job and earn their own wages.

However, there is a shortage of jobs in all industries right now, not to mention the military, which is already remote and has even fewer options. Chang Ning really doesn't know what he can do for the time being.

Jiang Linghan frowned upon hearing this: "Why did you suddenly decide to work? Don't you have enough money?"

Chang Ning glanced at him: "What if I say it's not enough?"

Jiang Linghan put down his chopsticks: "What do you want to buy? How much do you want? I'll figure something out."

"Oh, no!" Chang Ning stopped teasing him. "Don't you know how much money you have in your savings account?"

That would probably be enough to empty that small shop.

Jiang Linghan pulled his chair closer: "So what made you decide to go out and work?"

Chang Ning said, "Otherwise, I'd be bored staying at home all day with nothing to do."

Jiang Linghan frowned even more deeply: "Ningning, you're not telling the truth."

Chang Ning: "..."

She relayed what Sister Tian had said that afternoon, and then, seeing his expression, Jiang Linghan calmly said, "Let's eat."

Why is he so cold?

Should he be so cold?

Chang Ning's mood also calmed down, and the two of them finished their meal in silence.

After washing up and getting into bed, the two didn't talk much, which was completely unlike their usual inseparable relationship. Chang Ning turned over and turned her back to him, thinking that what Sister Tian said was indeed true!

The blanket was suddenly pulled off, and Chang Ning turned around: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Linghan was already shirtless, revealing his smooth lines and strong muscles. "I'm here to prove to you whether your man is reliable or not."
