Lu Yanting asked in a low voice, but Lu Yanxun countered in a normal speaking volume, "How did you know she was back? When did this happen?"

Lu Yanting opened her bright eyes slightly, looking at Lu Yanxun in surprise.

Lowering her voice as much as possible: "Why are you speaking so loudly? Great-Grandma will hear you, but she's not hard of hearing!"

Lu Yanting was worried for her brother.

How could her brother mention Xiaoyue so loudly in front of her great-grandmother? Has he gone mad?!

Isn't he afraid his great-grandmother will break his legs?

Ever since her brother got married, anyone who dares to mention Su Xinyue in front of her great-grandmother will be beaten.

My great-grandmother's walking stick hurt a lot when she hit someone.

The only time she was hit by her great-grandmother's cane was because Su Xinyue was mentioned.

She still hasn't forgotten the feeling of her calf being hit.

Is her brother so arrogant because he's her great-grandmother's darling?

Ha ha.

Lu Yanting thought gleefully that her brother probably didn't know that during the six months he was away, her great-grandmother's darling had already changed.

Now, ginger and jujubes are my great-grandmother's most prized possessions.

"Who's back?" Great-Grandma asked in confusion. "Who are you talking about? Great-Grandma is hard of hearing and didn't hear you just now."

Lu Yanting pursed her lips tightly: "..."

She wanted to say: No, Great-Grandma, you're not hard of hearing! Your hearing is perfectly fine!

No one answered, so Great-Grandma had to press on: "Xiao Xun, who did you say came back?"

Lu Yanting pulled her sister aside, determined to distance herself from the situation.

And she's waiting to see her brother make a fool of himself.

"Xiaoyue is back." Lu Yanxun didn't hide it and said it openly.

The main problem was that he didn't know why he needed to hide such an ordinary thing.

What's there to hide about Su Xinyue's return?

Lu Yanting excitedly grabbed Lu Yanwei's arm and whispered excitedly to her sister, "Haha, brother's in for it now."

Lu Yanwei seemed calmer than Lu Yanting, but she actually thought about things much like her sister.

If my brother gets beaten this time, it will be the first time in his life that his great-grandmother has ever hit him.

Who wouldn't be moved to witness their great-grandmother's beloved child pass away right before their eyes?

"Xiaoyue?" Great-Grandma didn't react so quickly. "Which Xiaoyue?"

"Su Xinyue," Lu Yanting reminded her, not wanting to miss out on the fun.

"Su Xinyue?" Great-Grandma uttered the familiar name and quickly recognized her. "You were just talking about her coming back?"

"Great-Grandma, it wasn't us who said it, it was my brother who said it. It has nothing to do with me or my sister!"

Lu Yanting pulled her sister back to the side.

She was worried that when her great-grandmother raised her cane to hit her brother, innocent people might get hurt.

Upon hearing this, Great-Grandma's expression indeed turned sour.

She looked at Lu Yan and asked, "How did you know she was back? Are you still in contact with her?"

Lu Yanxun sensed the displeasure in his great-grandmother's tone, but he was unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

“She sent me a few letters,” Lu Yanxun replied.

Lu Yanting was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim, "What? You're still communicating with each other???"

"What? You're still communicating?" Great-Grandma said the same thing as Lu Yanting.

However, compared to the surprise in Lu Yanting's tone, Great-Grandma's tone sounded much angrier.

Great-grandmother raised her cane, ready to hit someone.

Lu Yanwei quickly said, "Great-Grandma, perhaps there's some misunderstanding. It's better to ask and clarify."

Great-Grandma's cane stopped in mid-air. The old woman said angrily, "Tell me! When was the last time you communicated?"

Lu Yanxun didn't know what his great-grandmother was angry about, but he still answered truthfully: "About half a month ago, she sent me a letter."

As soon as Lu Yanxun finished speaking, his great-grandmother's cane struck his calf.

"I'll beat you to death, you wicked thing!" Great-Grandma was furious. "Your wife is pregnant and waiting for you at home, and you're out there corresponding with other women! I'll beat you to death, you heartless bastard!"

After saying that, Great-Grandma gave another hard knock.

Lu Yanxun winced in pain, but did not flinch.

"Great-Grandma, I..."

Lu Yanxun seemed to understand why his great-grandmother was so angry, and he tried to explain.

He wanted to tell his great-grandmother that during the past six months while he was away on a mission, it was Su Xinyue who wrote him letters every time.

He never replied to a single letter.

Before he could finish speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by a voice.

"Oh dear! What's going on? Grandma Lu, why are you hitting someone?"

It’s Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang had heard noises coming from the Lu family's courtyard a long time ago.

She originally wanted to give her daughter some advice and guidance, so she didn't want to pay any attention to it.

But her family's osmanthus flower asked her to come out and see what had happened.

For her daughter's sake, Aunt Zhang came out without saying a word.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it, and it's truly amazing.

Grandma Lu was actually hitting Lu Yanxun.

In this military family compound, who doesn't know that Lu Yanxun is the apple of Grandma Lu's eye?

Why did you have the heart to hit me today?

When Aunt Zhang came out, she saw Grandma Lu beating Lu Yanxun, and she could tell that she was using a lot of force.

They've gone to such lengths; could it be that Lu Yanxun has committed some grave error?

Aunt Zhang was very curious, and as she spoke, she walked through the alley and entered the Lu family's courtyard.

"What did the child do wrong? Why did you hit him so hard?"

Aunt Zhang appeared concerned, but in reality, she was trying to get information out of the old woman.

Great-grandmother lifted her eyelids and gave Aunt Zhang a cool look.

She retorted without any mercy, "Mind your own business and stop worrying about other people's problems."

After saying that, Great-Grandma didn't bother to continue chatting with Aunt Zhang.

He called the three Lu siblings back to their room.

Aunt Zhang was so embarrassed by her great-grandmother's blunt rebuke that she lost all face and stopped asking questions.

They had no choice but to leave with regret and dissatisfaction.

However, she guessed that something must have happened to the Lu family.

It's mostly related to ginger and jujubes.

Otherwise, why would the old lady of the Lu family be so angry?

Having been neighbors for so long, Aunt Zhang has a good eye for these things.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find out the specifics of what happened.

Aunt Zhang returned home reluctantly.

Zhang Guihua was already waiting inside the house.

As soon as Aunt Zhang returned, she immediately went up to her and asked, "Mom, what happened to Brother Yanxun's family?"

Aunt Zhang pulled Zhang Guihua back to her room.

After closing the door, she said, "For some reason, the old lady from the Lu family hit Yan Xun just now. I happened to see her doing it when I went out, and she hit him pretty hard."

"Huh?" Zhang Guihua's swollen eyes widened slightly as she asked in confusion, "Brother Yanxun was beaten? Was it serious? Where was he beaten?"

"It's alright," Aunt Zhang sighed. "He's a soldier, how could he be beaten by an old lady?"

Zhang Guihua lowered her head dejectedly: "That's true."

Aunt Zhang held Zhang Guihua's hand: "Guihua, listen to your mother's advice. You and Lu Yanxun are destined to be apart. Stop thinking about him."

Zhang Guihua's tears, which she had finally managed to stop, began to flow again.

"I know, but I've really liked him for a long time, how can I forget him so easily?"

"Even if it's not easy, you have to forget him," Aunt Zhang said. "If you don't forget him, you're just torturing yourself."

Zhang Guihua wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked, "Mom, if Yanxun and Jiangzao divorce, do you think I can still marry him? Will you and Dad support me?"

Aunt Zhang was stunned.

She felt that her daughter was really a bit obsessed.

But I couldn't bear to say it directly, so I could only patiently and earnestly persuade her:

"Guihua, military marriages can't be dissolved so easily. Lu Yanxun himself needs to agree to the divorce."

“What if Brother Yanxun agrees?” Zhang Guihua was stubborn. “If Brother Yanxun really divorces Jiang Zao, I still want to marry him.”

“Jiang Zao is so difficult, Yan Xun will definitely not be able to tolerate her for long. Perhaps it won’t be long before Yan Xun asks Jiang Zao for a divorce.”

Aunt Zhang slapped her thigh in disapproval: "Oh dear, Guihua, you mustn't be so stubborn. Even if Lu Yanxun does get a divorce in the future, it will be after Jiang Zao has given birth."

"The Lu family will definitely not give the children to Jiang Zao. How can you, a young and unmarried woman, become a stepmother? And with two children at that!"

The thought of her beloved daughter insisting on becoming someone else's stepmother made Aunt Zhang's vision go black.

Her daughter is her pride, and it's such a disservice to her precious daughter to marry into another family and become a stepmother!

"Mom, I like Yan Xun. Even if he's divorced and has a child, I'm still willing. Besides, he's so outstanding, I don't know how many girls are lining up to be his child's stepmother."

Zhang Guihua wiped away her tears, a resolute look appearing in her eyes.

Seeing her daughter's stubbornness, Aunt Zhang didn't know how to persuade her.

She remained silent for a moment, heartbroken, before asking, "Guihua, are you really determined to marry him?"

“Yes.” Zhang Guihua nodded, her tone solemn. “Mom, I know that doing that will disappoint you, but I will not fall in love with any other boy except Yan Xun. I only want to marry him.”

Aunt Zhang was completely speechless.

There are only two options for now.

The first thing is to wait for her family's osmanthus to fall in love with someone else.

The second is to wait for Lu Yanxun and Jiang Zao to divorce.

The first option is definitely not going to work in the short term.

Her daughter Guihua is too devoted to Lu Yanxun; it's almost impossible for her to fall for someone else.

She couldn't possibly force her precious daughter to marry a man she didn't like.

However, the second option won't work in the short term either.

Jiang Zao hasn't even given birth yet. After she gives birth and finishes her postpartum confinement, it will still take several months.

It's uncertain how long it will take before Lu Yanxun can't stand Jiang Zao's antics anymore.

With neither path forward nor backward leading to a dead end, Aunt Zhang was at a loss.

Aunt Zhang thought about it for a long time.

In the end, all these unpleasant things were blamed on Jiang Zao alone.

It's all because of those ginger dates.

If she hadn't suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Guihua from her family would have been the obvious choice to become the Lu family's daughter-in-law.

Who knows, the one who's pregnant with twins right now might actually be her son, Guihua.

Thinking of Jiang Zao filled Aunt Zhang with resentment.

Compared to her daughter's infidelity, Aunt Zhang actually hoped that Lu Yanxun would divorce Jiang Zao as soon as possible.

Because even her neighbors didn't want to associate with Jiangzao.

"Ah-"

Jiang Zao was sleeping soundly when suddenly her nose itched, and she couldn't help but sneeze.

She woke up after sneezing.

Jiang Zao woke up to find that she didn't know when she had fallen asleep.

She was also holding a cookie box in her arms.

I took some ginger and jujubes to wake myself up; I felt a bit thirsty.

She put the cookie box away and prepared to get up and go outside to get some water.

After getting out of bed, she made a point of looking around the room. Lu Yanxun was not there, nor did he show any signs of returning.

Jiangzao pouted, thinking, "If I don't want to come back, I don't want to come back. Who cares?"

She won't come back after she gives birth and recovers.

Jiang Zao had just opened the door a crack when she heard people talking in the living room.

For reasons unknown, she didn't immediately open the door and leave.

Instead, he opened the door a little wider and observed the outside through the crack.

It seems that Lu Yanxun and his family are discussing something.

What to discuss?

Jiangzao was a little curious.

So he pressed his ear against the crack in the door.

Anyway, Lu Yanxun had overheard her talking to Ye Xiaolan.

She overheard it, so we're even now.

in the living room.

Great-grandmother sat on the sofa, holding a cane.

Sitting next to her were the two sisters, Lu Yanwei and Lu Yanting.

Lu Yanxun sat directly opposite the three of them.

It looked like a joint trial.

After everyone was seated, Great-Grandma was the first to speak out:

"Xiao Xun, I told you privately on the day of your engagement that you would have a wife in the future, and that you should not contact those irrelevant people anymore. I was afraid you would forget. I told you again on your wedding day, but you still forgot!"

"How could you correspond with another woman behind your wife's back?" Great-Grandma roared in fury.

Jiang Zao was a little surprised after hearing this.

Grandma meant that Lu Yanxun was corresponding with other women during his marriage?

who is it?

Is it Su Xinyue?

Have they kept in touch?

Several questions popped into Jiang Zao's mind.

After asking the question, I felt like I had asked something unnecessary.

Lu Yanxun and Su Xinyue were childhood sweethearts who were in love with each other.

Isn't it normal for the two of them to be in contact?

Given their relationship, it would be abnormal if they didn't keep in touch.

In the end, she was superfluous.

It hurt two innocent people.

Jiang Zao sighed inwardly.

But she quickly came to her senses.

Wait, does this have anything to do with her?

Lu Yanxun and Su Xinyue are innocent, but is she not innocent?

She was a transmigrator who was struck by lightning; she was so innocent!

She's a victim too, okay?

If you really investigate, Jiang Zao feels that she is even more wronged than Lu Yanxun.

When others time-travel, they either become mothers without pain or give birth to the fruit of their love with their partner.

She, on the other hand, didn't experience any pain relief at all; she was in excruciating pain from the day she transmigrated.

The crystallization is not the crystallization of love, but the crystallization of deception and conspiracy.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's the fruit of hatred.

The moment she opened her eyes, her hatred level was already at its maximum; what could she do?

Jiang Zao crossed her hands and held them to her heart, feeling deeply pained by her innocence.

However painful it may be, from another perspective, this time travel was still very beneficial to her.

For example, she has many family members.

So Jiang Zao didn't feel heartbroken for long before she started listening to the gossip again.

After Great-Grandma finished scolding, Lu Yanting chimed in, "Yes, brother, you're being so unfair to your wife. If she knew that her husband, whom she misses day and night, not only ignores her but also frequently exchanges letters with his old flame, she would be heartbroken."

Jiang Zao was confused. Just a few days ago, her sister-in-law had said to her that she was not as good as a single hair of Su Xinyue.

Why are you suddenly speaking up for her now?

Could it be that the person communicating with Lu Yanxun was not Su Xinyue, but another woman?

The sister-in-law said these things not for her sake, but to take the opportunity to ridicule and mock Lu Yanxun in her name, so as to stand up for her sister Xiaoyue.
