Chapter 2 My Cheap Husband is Back
If we're talking about who has the biggest regret, it has to be Aunt Zhang. Her precious daughter, Zhang Guihua, is almost twenty years old, and a year ago, she secretly started looking for a future son-in-law in the family compound.
After much deliberation, he finally settled on Lu Yanxun.
I was originally planning to wait until spring to ask around to see if Lu Yanxun was interested, but then Jiang Zao suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The two got married in a whirlwind romance without any warning.
Aunt Zhang was so angry when she found out that she died.
Having been neighbors with Jiang Zao for over half a year, Aunt Zhang felt from the bottom of her heart that Jiang Zao was not good enough for Lu Yanxun.
Lazy, unreasonable, and prone to making trouble.
Apart from his face, he was otherwise good-looking but otherwise worthless.
Although her osmanthus tree wasn't as beautiful as ginger or jujube, it was at least presentable in public and good at cooking, with a gentle and kind nature.
After comparing them, the ginger and jujubes were far inferior to her family's osmanthus flowers.
Aunt Zhang pursed her lips and sighed, seemingly unintentionally, "Oh dear, this is really going to cause a lot of trouble in the family!"
Aunt Zhang's words displeased the Lu family's great-grandmother, who said sternly, "She's pregnant with twins, so what's wrong with her being a little temperamental?"
Aunt Zhang was annoyed by being rebuked by an elder in public, and was about to retort when she saw Great-Grandma Lu's eyes light up as she called out to someone behind her:
"Xiao Xun is back! Quick! Quick, your wife is screaming for help in the house! Go and see what's wrong with her! She's pregnant!"
Lu Yanxun had just finished his mission yesterday and planned to rest for two days before returning to visit his family.
Before he could even catch his breath, he received a call from home saying that Jiang Zao was on a hunger strike and that he needed to come back immediately to deal with it.
Upon hearing the name Jiang Zao, Lu Yanxun felt a headache and a physical aversion.
He instinctively resisted any contact or meeting with Jiang Zao, but unfortunately she was pregnant with his child.
The two are a legitimate married couple with a child, so no matter how shameless and despicable Jiang Zao is, Lu Yanxun has no choice but to come back.
Lu Yanxun returned home after a long and arduous journey, without wasting a single moment.
Upon hearing her great-grandmother's words, she immediately dropped her luggage and went to knock on the door.
"Ginger and jujubes?"
His voice was deep and tense, his tone cold yet authoritative.
"Open the door!" Lu Yanxun suppressed his impatience and asked coldly, "Didn't you want to see me? I'm back. What do you want?"
Jiang Zao, who was in excruciating pain and barely breathing, heard this voice and opened her mouth to answer that she didn't want anything, she just wanted to be saved.
But she was in so much pain that she had no strength left and couldn't even scream.
All he could do was anxiously scream silently in his heart: "Stop knocking! Open the door! Kick it down! Help!!!"
Unfortunately, only she could hear her own true feelings.
Jiang Zao closed her eyes weakly.
Just when I thought I was really going to die along with my unborn child, the door was kicked open.
Exhausted and trembling with pain, Jiang Zao mustered her last bit of strength to open her heavy eyelids and peek at the scene. She saw a tall, upright man walking towards her with his back to the light.
Jiang Zao couldn't see his face clearly, only vaguely discernible the hard, cold lines of his facial contours.
Is this the military officer husband of Jiang Zao?
Regardless, at that moment, she knew she was saved.
Jiang Zao, who had inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, fainted from the pain.
Lu Yanxun thought Jiang Zao was using some trick to force him again, but when he got closer, he found that her pale face was covered in water.
I can't tell if it's sweat or tears.
Her disheveled hair clung to her cheeks, making her look extremely disheveled and weak.
Lu Yanxun has been away on missions for more than half a year and has never returned.
She rarely wrote letters to her family, and when she occasionally received letters from her younger sister, they were all complaints about how Jiang Zao was being difficult and demanding.
He felt nothing but disgust towards Jiang Zao; he didn't want to know anything about her.
If it weren't for the child...
Lu Yanxun's deep gaze fell on Jiang Zao's belly.
When he left home, her belly was still flat.
It's been more than half a year since I last saw you, and you've grown so much.
His younger sister wrote a letter saying that Jiang Zao was pregnant with twins, but when he saw the letter, he felt no joy whatsoever.
He dislikes ginger and dates.
Very annoying.
Even though she was pregnant with his child, his disgust for her did not diminish in the slightest.
It was only after she shamelessly did that thing to him that Lu Yanxun realized for the first time how much he could hate someone.
"Little Jujube?!" Great-Grandma, leaning on her cane, shakily entered the room and was shocked to see Jiang Zao curled up on the bed with her eyes closed.
"Xunwazi, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take Xiaozao'er to the hospital!" Great-Grandma urged anxiously.
Lu Yanxun frowned subconsciously, forcibly suppressing the resistance in his heart, before reaching out to pick up Jiang Zao.
The moment before he picked up Jiang Zao, Lu Yanxun suspected that she was faking illness.
It wasn't until he picked up Jiang Zao, who was soaked in sweat as if she had been washed, that he realized something had really happened to her.
Lu Yanxun had no time to think about anything else and rushed Jiang Zao to the hospital.
Aunt Zhang, who was knitting, was startled to see Lu Yanxun carrying Jiang Zao out of the house.
"Hey, what's wrong with Jiang Zao? Is she going to have a premature birth?"
Lu Yanxun and Jiang Zao have been married for less than eight months, so their child is definitely not eight months old.
Aunt Zhang stopped knitting, ran a few steps to keep up with Lu Yanxun, and blurted out:
"That Jiangzao is really something. She can't take her anger out on the child just because she's angry with you. This is her own flesh and blood! My God!"
Great-grandmother's legs were weak, and she couldn't walk after coming out of the house. She could only anxiously remind Lu Yanxun, "Xiaoxun, please don't let anything happen to Xiaozao'er and the child!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanxun's brows furrowed and his heart leaped into his throat.
Their pace quickened.
He disliked Jiang Zao and had no affection for the unborn child, but he didn't want anything to happen to either Jiang Zao or the child.
After Lu Yanxun left with Jiang Zao in his arms, the onlookers had not yet dispersed, and Aunt Zhang was even more curious as she moved closer to her great-grandmother.
Feigning concern, she asked, "Grandma Lu, what kind of trouble has your Jiangzao caused this time? How did she get herself into this state? Your family needs to keep an eye on her. The further along she is in her pregnancy, the more trouble she causes. She's only seven months along, far from full term."
Great-grandmother sensed her sarcastic tone and gave her an annoyed look, retorting:
"Who said my little Zao'er is being difficult? It's just that the two little ones are fighting and making her uncomfortable in her belly! My little Zao'er is carrying twins. You've never been pregnant with twins, so you don't know how hard it is!"
Aunt Zhang thought dismissively, "So what if she's pregnant with twins?"
How hard can it be if I'm carrying an extra child compared to others?
But she couldn't retort.
She couldn't get through to an elderly woman who was hard of hearing, so she walked out while knitting a sweater.
After Aunt Zhang left, the heads that had been peeking out from behind the walls on both sides retreated back inside.
Great-Grandma, holding her cane under her armpits, clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly, "Heavens above, please bless my little Zao'er and the baby in her belly with peace and safety!"
