Unable to endure the hardships of rural life, she returned home to arrange a marriage with a militar

At 10 a.m., Shu Yun finished washing up and first drank a glass of warm water to soothe her throat. Seeing that there was red date porridge in the kitchen, she didn't plan to make any more lunch. She cracked an egg and made a bowl of steamed egg custard, making do with a simple lunch.

While eating, Shu Yun heard a loud noise coming from next door. It sounded like they were arguing. Shu Yun perked up and dragged a small stool to stand on the wall to watch.

Grandma Jiang is arguing with someone!

Now, Shu Yun became interested and stood there, not wanting to leave. At this moment, her legs were no longer weak and her back was no longer sore, and she craned her neck to watch the excitement outside.

"Old hag Jiang, you're shameless! While I was away, you got my son to bring you eggs. You're so old, you've lived to the fullest, and you even lie to a child! Where's your face? Where's your dignity?"

The long-faced woman who was passionately arguing was named Ma Jing. She lived in the tenement building a little further ahead. Shu Yun didn't have much contact with her, only having seen her once at a small shop.

At that time, Ma Jing argued with the salesperson for half an hour because one spoonful of soy sauce wasn't enough. She insisted on getting another spoonful before she would leave. She was a feisty person who would never let anyone take advantage of her.

Granny Jiang has met her match; the real show is about to begin!

Granny Jiang resolutely refused to admit it, saying, "Which eye of yours saw me take the eggs? Don't make false accusations. You think you can bully me just because I'm an old woman?"

Enraged, Ma Jing pulled her son out from behind her, grabbed him by the collar, and angrily demanded, "You, you tell me, who did you give the eggs to?"

The child was still crying, but Ma Jing was getting impatient and pushed the child forward again. "Tell me quickly, why did I give birth to such a coward like you? You're the same filthy gender as your father, forcing me to go back and slap you."

The child rubbed his eyes and sobbed, "She's the one who told me to take it."

The child pointed at Granny Jiang, but Granny Jiang looked aggrieved and said, "Children shouldn't talk nonsense. Children like that are the most annoying."

The child seemed incredulous. "You clearly said you'd give me candy if I took out the egg, but you haven't even given me candy yet! Waaah, you're such a bad guy, you lied to me!"

Granny Jiang stubbornly refused to admit it, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water. "Did anyone see you give me the eggs? Nobody saw you. This is just you trying to shift the blame. You're slandering me!"

"Hey, I can't stand this much temper." Ma Jing rolled up her sleeves and slapped Granny Jiang's smug face. The crisp sound of the slap stunned Kong Ping, who was trying to mediate, and Shu Yun, who was craning her neck to watch the show.

Granny Jiang covered her face in disbelief, "You dare hit me?"

Ma Jing glared at her, "So what if I hit you? Give me back the eggs, or I'll take you to the police station and make you regret it."

Granny Jiang spat on the ground, "Pah! I'll fight you to the death!"

Shu Yun's eyes widened; a fight had broken out!

Gu Jun returned with a lunchbox and saw his wife engrossed in watching something over the wall, completely unaware of his return.

He stood in the yard for a while, but Shu Yun never turned around to look at him. Resigned, he said, "Wife, I'm back."

Shu Yun was engrossed in watching, only glancing back briefly before her eyes immediately returned to the battlefield of the Jiang family, watching with great interest, almost as if she were about to snack on some melon seeds and peanuts.

Gu Jun was speechless. After all, their relationship had made a new breakthrough last night. Shouldn't the atmosphere be a little more ambiguous?

Why does it feel like the other person doesn't care at all? Gu Jun felt a pang of sadness.

He set the food out by himself and said, "You can eat now." Shu Yun did not respond.

Gu Jun went to the bedroom again, folded the sheets and blankets and put them away. He noticed that there was a dent in the middle of his pillow, obviously from being punched. He looked at it silently for a while, then patted the pillow back to its original position and placed it next to Shu Yun's pillow.

Gu Jun came out and saw Shu Yun still peering over the wall. He couldn't help but say, "Come and eat, the food's getting cold."

Shu Yun simply waved her hand and said, "You eat first."

She was in the middle of a heated battle, with both sides fighting fiercely. Before long, Kong Ping and the half-baked child joined the fray, but as the battle raged, the battlefield shifted, and Shu Yun couldn't see anything. She had to tiptoe forward, but the stool beneath her feet was unstable and wobbled. Shu Yun almost fell off, but luckily Gu Jun caught her in time.

"Stop looking at this, let's go eat."

Gu Jun put his arm around Shu Yun's waist, ignoring her still-strong curiosity, turned her head to sit down, and handed her a bowl and chopsticks. "Eat, then you can watch it."

Shu Yun complained to him, "Be gentle, my back is still sore and my legs are stiff."

Gu Jun leaned closer, "Shall I rub it for you?"

Shu Yun pushed him away, "No!"

Shu Yun had just finished a bowl of steamed egg custard, and since she didn't have much of an appetite, she only ate a couple of bites when she suddenly noticed the large package Gu Jun had brought back. "You just got this? Where did it come from?"

Gu Jun nodded. "It was sent by my parents." He didn't know exactly what was sent, but it was incredibly heavy.

Shu Yun, curious, squatted down to unpack the package. "Pickled radish? Pickled kimchi?"

Shu Yun took out the jars one by one from the package and lined them up in a whole row.

Gu Jun: ...

He said, "How could it be so heavy? His parents have bought up all their kimchi rations for a year, no, for several years."

Of course, it wasn't all pickled vegetables. Gu's mother specially sewed pillowcases and quilt covers for the newlyweds, as well as homemade dried sweet potatoes, dried purple sweet potatoes, rice crusts, and so on.

Shu Yun took a piece of dried sweet potato and tasted it. It was crunchy on the outside and soft, sweet and glutinous on the inside. Shu Yun liked it as soon as she took a bite. She couldn't eat her rice, but she ate several pieces of dried sweet potato.

Just then, Aunt Tian's voice came from outside, small and soft, "Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun?"

Shu Yun quickly got up and went to the door. "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"

Tian Xiufen pointed to the Jiang family's house next to her and asked, "I just heard some noise. Were they arguing?"

Shu Yun: "I heard the noise too, but I don't know what happened."

As she spoke, her gaze drifted and met Gu Jun's eyes. She snorted and refused to look at him. She would never admit that she had just been watching the commotion from the wall; it was too unlike her usual gentle and intellectual image.

Tian Xiufen's focus, however, was not on that. "Why is your voice so hoarse? Did you catch a cold?"

Gu Jun choked and coughed incessantly. Tian Xiufen looked inside and asked, "Is Xiao Gu back for dinner today?" Shu Yun cleared her throat awkwardly and changed the subject, "Sister-in-law Tian, ​​what did you say happened to the Jiang family?"

Tian Xiufen's eyes lit up, and she immediately stopped dwelling on what had happened before. She grabbed Shu Yun's arm and said in a low but excited voice, "They've started fighting. I heard it even alarmed the army. They sent an officer to mediate. Let's go take a look."
