80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

Chang Jingxiang's comrade-in-arms, Wang Wei, came to town on business. Knowing that Chang Jingxiang had been temporarily transferred here, he brought a lot of things with him: smoked chicken, roast goose, cured meat, sausage, and roast lamb leg, all of which Chang Jingxiang had asked him to mail before.

He said his wife loves it, and he specifically asked that it be sealed in plastic so it can be stored for a longer time.

There are also cookies, milk candies, and chocolates, all of which are for pleasing girls.

Wang Wei even brought two bottles of wine, one baijiu (Chinese liquor) and one red wine, hoping to have a good drink with Chang Jingxiang.

The two hadn't seen each other for several years. They grew up in the same military compound and played together since they were little, climbing trees, scaling walls, and raiding bird nests.

Later, they joined the same unit, trained and practiced martial arts together, ate and drank together.

When the Chang family got into trouble, he wanted to help, but Chang Jingxiang told him not to be impulsive and to stay in the army to act as his inside man and observe the enemy's situation.

Six months ago, I heard that Chang Jingxiang had been forced to marry a village woman. He was so upset that he drank several times, feeling sorry for his brother.

Later, Chang Jingxiang wrote to him, asking him to mail some things for girls. He became quite curious about this girl, wondering how she could have caught Chang Jingxiang's attention.

A few days ago, Su Qingya cried and told him how scheming this girl was. She refused to divorce Chang Jingxiang, forcing him to stay in this wretched place and not be able to return to Beijing. He was living a miserable life.

Wang Wei had made two preparations this time. If she was a good girl, he would diligently send gifts and sincerely acknowledge her as his sister-in-law.

If she was indeed a scheming and ill-intentioned person, he would use some means to force her to leave, and then take Chang Jingxiang back to the capital.

He found the staff quarters of the Cultural Bureau, knocked on the door for a long time, and when no one was home, he sat down on a bench outside to wait.

When the neighbor saw another handsome young man arriving, carrying several bags, he approached him solicitously and asked, "Comrade, are you here to see Comrade Chang?"

Wang Wei nodded. "Yes, they're not here."

"Sigh, you don't know, after Comrade Chang got off work, he rode his bicycle to pick up his wife from get off work. It's not a long way, just a few steps away, but he insisted on being picked up. Isn't that deliberately making things difficult for her?"

Comrade Chang is already exhausted after a long day, and his wife doesn't know how to be considerate at all. You really need to have a good talk with him."

Wang Wei frowned upon hearing her words, "You have to pick me up and drop me off every day?"

Seeing his interest, the neighbor continued, "That's right, he has to get up early every day to deliver it. That girl is so pretentious. I see that Comrade Chang does most of the housework."

"Alas, what a mismatch! Comrade Chang is such a handsome, kind, and capable man; how could he have married someone like this? It's such a pity."

She sighed heavily a few times as she spoke. Seeing the two of them together every day, so loving and affectionate, made her angry. She had finally found an opportunity to make his friends hate her.

Maybe she could break them up, and then she could have the advantage of being close to the water and get the moon first. She smoothed her hair and felt that she was much better than that Lin Yue.

Wang Wei was a little angry when he heard her words, but seeing her awkward manner, he could tell that she had ill intentions, so he ignored her.

Having served in the military for so many years, I'm quite good at judging people; this woman probably has ill intentions towards Chang Jingxiang.

Chang Jingxiang is truly a magnet for attention; wherever he goes, he's surrounded by admirers.

There was a woman named Su Qingya in the capital who couldn't forget him. When he was sent down to the village, someone took the initiative to sleep with him. Now they're married, but people still have their eyes on him.

Looking at myself, I felt a little unbalanced. I am also a handsome man, so why am I still all alone?

When Chang Jingxiang comes back later, I must make sure to get him drunk and make a fool of himself.

Chang Jingxiang spent a long time coaxing Lin Yue until she finally stopped crying, her eyes still brimming with tears, red and swollen.

Chang Jingxiang gently wiped away her tears, his movements very light, afraid that if he used too much force, he would make his wife cry again.

Lin Yue sniffed and briefly explained the reason. Chang Jingxiang's eyes turned cold after hearing it.

My wife is beautiful and kind-hearted, but she gets bullied wherever she goes.

He asked Lin Yue softly, "If you're not happy doing this, how about we quit?"

Lin Yue quickly shook her head. "I don't want to. I was careless this time. I will be more careful in the future."

Moreover, Master Zhu gave me the opportunity to embroider five finished products for him to see tomorrow, and I have already completed them all.

This time I packed everything in my bag; surely no one can mess with me now.

Spurred on by his words, Lin Yue regained her fighting spirit and her spirits improved considerably. "I can definitely do it, do you believe me?"

Chang Jingxiang patted her head affectionately, "I believe you. You can leave anytime you want if you don't want to do it anymore. Don't make yourself suffer."

"Ah."

Chang Jingxiang said that you need to be well-fed to have the strength to fight, so he took her to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a lot of vegetables and meat.

They happily carried their things upstairs, only to see Wang Wei looking at them with a resentful expression.

Chang Jinxiang was very happy to see Wang Wei arrive. He let go of Lin Yue's hand, and the two grown men clenched their fists and slapped each other, like two hotheads.

This man was also handsome and dashing, a real catch. Standing next to Chang Jingxiang, they were a very pleasing sight to behold.

Lin Yue chuckled softly, and only then did Wang Wei turn his attention to her, staring at her with wide eyes. Lin Yue, embarrassed, hid behind Chang Jingxiang.

Chang Jingxiang patted him with a smile, "Call her sister-in-law."

Wang Wei actually felt from the bottom of his heart that Lin Yue was not good enough for Chang Jingxiang. After hearing what Su Qingya said, he had a preconceived notion that he didn't like Lin Yue, so he just called her "sister-in-law" in a light tone.

Lin Yue saw the aloofness in his eyes and knew that he must look down on her. She felt bad that she had held Chang Jingxiang back.

She thought to herself that she couldn't blame anyone else; it was her own problem. So she put away her sadness and gently replied, "Hello."

She went into the house first and started tidying up and cooking.

Chang Jingxiang followed in to help, but Lin Yue pushed him out, saying, "You two must have not seen each other for a long time. He finally came, so you two should have a good chat. I'll call you when I've finished cooking."

What does your friend like to eat? What kind of flavor does he prefer?

Chang Jingxiang took a water glass and poured water, "Just do it normally, he won't be picky."

Chang Jingxiang took the water out, and Wang Wei was looking around casually. "Why didn't you go back to the capital? Why did you have to suffer here? I really don't understand what you were thinking."

Chang Jingxiang nudged his shoulder, glancing nervously towards the kitchen, afraid Lin Yue would hear, "Keep your voice down."

Wang Wei's eyebrows furrowed. "Your wife is so formidable, you can't even raise your voice?"
