The little drama queen is both capricious and naughty, but her military officer husband insists on s

Lu Yanxun listened attentively, making a mental note of everything the old woman said.

Jiang Zao slept like a log and didn't hear a thing the whole time.

When she regained consciousness, the bus had already arrived at the station.

After arriving at the station, Lu Yanxun woke Jiang Zao up.

Jiang Zao had gotten used to being carried by Lu Yanxun while walking.

So when the other person woke her up and told her she could get off the bus, she reflexively reached out her hands.

The standard posture for asking for a hug.

She thought Lu Yanxun would pick her up without hesitation, just like usual.

Unexpectedly, he hesitated this time.

Lu Yanxun's hesitation puzzled Jiang Zao: "What's wrong? Didn't we arrive at our destination?"

"Ah."

Lu Yanxun responded and then picked up Jiang Zao.

Jiangzao is still asleep.

After being picked up, she tilted her head and fell into Lu Yanxun's arms again.

At this moment, Jiang Zao couldn't help but think: It's more comfortable to sleep in someone's arms than to sleep in a seat.

Jiang Zao closed her eyes contentedly, ready to drift off to sleep.

However, what she never expected was...

After getting out of the car, Lu Yanxun actually put her on the ground.

He also said to her, "Wake up."

Jiang Zao opened her eyes and looked at Lu Yanxun blankly.

At this point, she had no idea what had happened.

"What is it now?" Jiang Zao asked, yawning.

She leaned against Lu Yanxun like a limp skeleton, waiting for him to pick her up again.

"Go by yourself." Lu Yanxun pushed her away slightly.

But to prevent her from losing her balance, he held her shoulders with both hands.

"Why?" Jiang Zao asked, puzzled.

But more than anything, I was surprised.

Why doesn't Lu Yanxun carry her anymore?

Does he no longer want to hug her?

Having left her family home, there were no relatives here, nor any spies watching Lu Yanxun, so he didn't want to continue acting.

“From now on, you will walk on your own,” Lu Yanxun said. “I will hold your hand.”

Jiang Zao regained consciousness.

It seems she guessed correctly; Lu Yanxun simply didn't want to pretend anymore.

"Oh."

Although Jiang Zao was very unwilling, she didn't say anything.

She obediently let Lu Yanxun lead her away.

Oh well, since none of her family members are here anyway, if he doesn't want to pretend, then so be it.

no big deal.

Let her walk by herself; she can walk by herself.

Jiang Zao walked a little slowly, and Lu Yanxun matched her pace.

What should have been a 20-minute walk took half an hour.

By the time they reached the gate of the compound, Jiang Zao was already panting heavily.

so tired.

My calves feel a little weak.

Jiang Zao wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and gritted her teeth to persevere.

I'd rather not eat steamed buns than lose face.

Even if others don't want to hug her, she can't let them look down on her.

It's just walking.

She can do it herself.

When I was in school, I often went hiking during holidays.

She's climbed Mount Tai, so this short distance is nothing to her.

Jiang Zao tried her best to cheer herself up in her heart.

Lu Yanxun didn't know what she was thinking, but seeing the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, he could tell she was tired.

Lu Yanxun still couldn't bear it: "I'll carry you for the rest of the way."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to help.

Jiang Zao used her elbow to push his arm away: "No need, I can walk by myself."

After saying that, she pulled her hand away from Lu Yanxun's grasp.

Then he left without looking back.

Jiang Zao remembered the original owner's memories as she followed the route back to the Lu family.

There was no need for Lu Yanxun to lead the way.

Watching Jiang Zao slowly walk away, Lu Yanxun could tell that she was angry.

She got angry because I didn't carry her when we got out of the car?

Lu Yanxun strode to catch up with Jiang Zao, who was walking further and further away.

This time, without saying a word to Jiang Zao, he simply picked her up and carried her horizontally.

Jiang Zao's face darkened: "I told you I don't need you to carry me."

Lu Yanxun looked down at Jiang Zao's stern face and said, "It'll be a while before we get home, so carry me and we'll get there faster."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zao let out a cold snort.

Oh, so that’s it.

They just thought she walked too slowly.

No wonder he suddenly wanted to carry her away.

I didn't hug him before because I didn't want to.

I'm hugging her now because I don't have the patience to play along with her dawdling.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, I can't walk fast right now, I'm sorry to have taken up your time." Jiang Zao couldn't help but say sarcastically.

Lu Yanxun paused in his steps.

Looking down at Jiang Zao, she said, "You didn't waste my time."

"Tch." Jiang Zao didn't want to argue with him, so she turned her face away and stopped talking.

Lu Yanxun continued walking, carrying Jiang Zao in his arms.

And stopped talking.

The two remained silent the whole way, neither uttering a sound.

After turning a corner, they were almost at Lu Yan's home.

Suddenly someone called out to Lu Yanxun, "Brother Yanxun."

Sweet voices are naturally very pleasant to listen to.

When the words "Brother Yanxun" are uttered, they sound even more melodious.

Even Jiangzao couldn't help but glance sideways, wanting to see what the person speaking looked like.

After calling out to Lu Yanxun, Zhang Guihua quickly noticed the way Jiang Zao was looking at her.

"Your sister-in-law is here too." Zhang Guihua greeted Jiang Zao as well.

Judging from her reluctant tone, it was as if she shouldn't be there.

And look at the question you asked.

What do you mean she's here too?

Lu Yanxun was holding her. She was in front of Lu Yanxun. Any normal person with eyes should have seen her first, or at the same time, both of them.

It's impossible that you only saw Lu Yanxun.

It's even more impossible that he greeted Lu Yanxun before seeing her.

Jiang Zao silently observed Zhang Guihua.

She quickly remembered that she knew this person.

This is Aunt Zhang's daughter, Zhang Guihua.

After Jiang Zao moved to the Lu family's house, she soon heard of Zhang Guihua's great name.

Two or three aunties and older women had mentioned to her that they thought the Lu family would form a marriage alliance with the Zhang family, but they never expected that the Lu family would suddenly bring her back from outside.

Zhang Guihua's mother, Aunt Zhang, also came to talk about her several times.

Her words implied that she had stolen her family's good match.

Having lived in the family compound for more than half a year, we were all neighbors and it was inevitable that we would run into each other.

Therefore, Jiang Zao had met Zhang Guihua several times.

But the two were the kind of strangers who wouldn't greet each other even if they met face to face.

Zhang Guihua never called her "sister-in-law".

The sun rose in the west today.

Zhang Guihua not only greeted her proactively, but even called her "sister-in-law".

Jiang Zao didn't need to guess who the other party was after.

Jiang Zao pouted and glanced at Lu Yanxun.

See, that's why we came here—for this man.

"Guihua is back," Lu Yanxun replied politely.

Zhang Guihua smiled sweetly and continued to answer in her sweet voice, "Yes, I came back yesterday. Where did Brother Yanxun go? I haven't seen you these past two days."

Jiang Zao's inner thoughts: Oh, so you two are chatting here, huh?

“He accompanied me back to my parents’ home,” Jiang Zao answered for Lu Yanxun before he could finish. “I’m so sorry that you didn’t see him for two days.”

Zhang Guihua didn't expect Jiang Zao to say that, and her expression immediately became a little subtle.

"Oh, is that so?" When she spoke again, Zhang Guihua's sweet smile had mostly disappeared.

“Yes, that’s right.” Jiang Zao nodded with a smile.

"Then, Brother Yanxun, you..."

Zhang Guihua didn't want to talk to Jiang Zao, so she ignored her and wanted to continue talking to Lu Yanxun.

But Jiang Zao didn't want to give her that chance.

So she leaned into Lu Yanxun's arms right in front of Zhang Guihua.

Imitating Zhang Guihua's tone, she interrupted her and said to Lu Yanxun:

"Brother Yanxun, I'm a little tired. Can you carry me home first? You can talk to your neighbor later."

After saying that, Jiang Zao herself felt nauseous at her own cloyingly sweet voice.

But that's not all she has to do.

Jiang Zao then deliberately touched her stomach again.

She pressed her cheek against Lu Yanxun's chest and said, "Brother Yanxun, our baby just moved! They're so naughty. When we get home, you have to rub their tummy like you did yesterday."

Lu Yanxun frowned slightly: "..."

He was also a little unaccustomed to Jiangzao's breath.

I don't think it sounds bad, but it's a bit strange.

She doesn't usually talk like this, what's wrong with her now?

Although Zhang Guihua had never spoken to Jiang Zao, she knew that Jiang Zao hadn't always spoken like this.

When Lu Yanxun is not around, Jiang Zao is usually either making a fuss or causing a scene at home.

It was so loud that she could hear it even in her own home.

It's even more impossible for them to speak in such a mushy tone.

So she did it on purpose.

Zhang Guihua was very angry when she realized this.

That pretentious woman acts one way in front of Yan Xun, and another way behind his back.

How could a woman like that be worthy of the outstanding Yan Xun?

Zhang Guihua had always been curious about how Jiang Zao had married Lu Yanxun.

Jiang Zao is very beautiful, much prettier than her.

But the Yan Xun she knew was never the kind of superficial man who judged people by their appearance, and he would never be with Jiang Zao just because of her pretty face.

Zhang Guihua seriously suspected that Jiang Zao had given Lu Yanxun some kind of sleeping potion.

Otherwise, why would she be allowed to marry Lu Yanxun?

If Jiang Zao could hear Zhang Guihua's thoughts, she would definitely give her a thumbs up and praise her for being smart.

That's right, she drugged Lu Yanxun to get him to marry her.

Ha ha.

"We'll be going now, you go ahead and get busy too."

Lu Yanxun said something to Zhang Guihua, then carried Jiang Zao away.

"feast……"

Zhang Guihua instinctively wanted to call out to Lu Yanxun.

But then she suddenly realized that she didn't seem to have the right to call someone to stop.

In the end, all we could do was watch him walk away with Jiangzao in his arms.

Actually, Zhang Guihua's encounter with Lu Yanxun today was not accidental.

Starting yesterday, she would go out for a walk every now and then, hoping to run into Lu Yanxun.

If you run into him, say a few words to him.

Zhang Guihua misses Yan Xun very much. It has been a long time since she has seen him.

I went out for a walk seven or eight times today and finally ran into him once.

Unfortunately, before they could exchange more than a few words, Jiang Zao interrupted them.

Damn it, why did a ginger date suddenly appear out of nowhere?!

Ever since Su Xinyue moved out of the family compound, Zhang Guihua had always thought that she and Lu Yanxun had a great chance of being together.

After all, even when Su Xinyue was around, she was considered one of the most outstanding girls in the family compound.

Then, out of nowhere, a ginger date appeared.

Doubt and resentment welled up in Zhang Guihua's heart at the same time, and she could not calm down for a long time.

She really liked Lu Yanxun, and she was also very unwilling to accept it.

But they already have a child, so no matter how much she likes Lu Yanxun, she can only keep him in her heart.

Zhang Guihua bit her lip, tears welling up as she felt a surge of resentment.

She even thought that if it weren't for Jiang Zao, she would be willing to be a stepmother to the two children, even if it meant being a virgin herself.

As long as that person is Lu Yanxun, it's fine.

Zhang Guihua watched Lu Yanxun's figure until it disappeared.

She ran home crying when she could no longer see anyone.

Aunt Zhang was watering the vegetables in the yard when she saw Zhang Guihua, who had just left, running back crying.

She was startled: "Guihua, why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

Zhang Guihua ignored her mother, ran crying into the house, and locked herself in her room.

Aunt Zhang quickly dropped the water ladle and went inside to find Zhang Guihua.

"Why is the door locked?" Aunt Zhang knocked on the door. "Guihua, it's Mom. Why did you lock the door? What happened? Who bullied you? Tell Mom quickly."

“No one bullied me!” Zhang Guihua replied, crying.

Aunt Zhang became even more worried: "Then why are you crying?"

"I just want to cry!" Zhang Guihua said, and then cried even harder.

She cried and kept asking why.

Aunt Zhang was pacing anxiously outside: "Guihua, what are you saying? Why? Can't you tell your mother what's wrong? I'm so worried about you!"

Zhang Guihua said nothing and cried even louder.

Aunt Zhang knew that her daughter must have been bullied by someone.

In desperation, he said, "If you don't tell me, I'll go outside into the alley and start cursing! The person who bullied you probably hasn't gone far yet!"

Aunt Zhang started walking out as she spoke.

The door behind her opened at that moment, and Zhang Guihua quickly called out to her mother, "Mom! Don't go!"

Aunt Zhang turned around and said, "Tell me, and I won't go."

Zhang Guihua turned her head away in shame and anger, threw herself onto the pillow, and sobbed.

Aunt Zhang immediately realized that her daughter was facing some unspeakable difficulty.

She went inside and closed the door.

Sitting down next to Zhang Guihua, he asked softly, "Guihua, tell Mom what's wrong, and Mom will help you."

Zhang Guihua cried and said, "Mom, you can't help me!"

Aunt Zhang didn't believe her: "How do you know I can't help you if you don't tell me?"

Zhang Guihua raised her tear-streaked face: "Even if I told you, you couldn't help me. As long as Jiang Zao and Yan Xun are together, no one can help me!"

"Ginger and jujubes?" Aunt Zhang's brow twitched.

She pondered her daughter's words carefully and finally understood their meaning.

Aunt Zhang's expression immediately turned serious; there was really nothing she could do to help with this.

“Guihua, there are plenty of good young men out there. I’ll have your dad look among the sons of his old comrades-in-arms. There’s bound to be someone better than the Lu family’s boy.”

That was all Aunt Zhang could say.

Zhang Guihua shook her head: "But I only like Brother Yanxun. I've liked him before. Even if there are people better than Brother Yanxun, I don't want them! Besides, how many people can compare to Brother Yanxun!"

"Mom, why did Jiang Zao have to come into this picture? She's just a country bumpkin, what right does she have to be with Brother Yan Xun!"

Aunt Zhang was stumped by her question.

She couldn't answer that question at all.

Because she also wanted to know what Lu Yanxun saw in Jiang Zao.

But in any case, they are now husband and wife.

The reasons why are no longer important.

Aunt Zhang sighed, "Guihua, pull your heart away from Lu Yanxun. Don't waste your time on someone who is impossible for you."

Hearing the words "impossible person" caused Zhang Guihua a sharp pain in her heart.

She's not afraid of delaying her own life, really.

Even if she delayed herself, Lu Yanxun was ultimately an impossible person.

Zhang Guihua was heartbroken and wept loudly on her pillow.

Meanwhile, the Lu family across the street from the Zhang family was filled with laughter and joy.
