Zhou Ye tidied up and then went to Qiao Ci's side, sticking to her like a puppy. Seeing that she had no intention of communicating with him, he smacked his lips and asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you."
Qiao Ci looked listless. "I just ate, I'm not very hungry yet."
"Then tell me in advance when you're hungry, and I'll make it for you," Zhou Ye said, adding proudly, "I'm a very good cook."
Qiao Ci nodded.
"You rest for a while. We'll go to town this afternoon and decorate these empty spaces in the house."
"Whatever my wife says. After making such a fuss last night, I thought she'd be angry when she woke up. Zhou Ye had a clear conscience all morning. Fortunately, nothing happened. Of course, whatever his wife says goes.
If his wife wanted to buy things, it would definitely cost money.
Zhou Ye strode with his long legs to a corner of the room, pulled out a brick from the floor, took out a small cloth bag from beneath it, and handed it to Qiao Ci. "Here's 200 yuan, take it and use it."
He knew Qiao Ci came from a good family, but since she had married him, he would work hard to earn money and would absolutely not let her suffer hardship. https:/
Thinking of his dreams and looking at his beautiful wife, he suddenly felt reluctant.
What if something happened to Qiao Ci if he joined the army and she was bullied?
What if they were separated for a long time, and she fell for someone else?
His ambition was filled with inner turmoil.
Qiao Ci noticed his mood and asked him what was wrong.
Zhou Ye didn't hide anything. "After I join the army, will you be able to manage on your own?"
Qiao Ci gave him a lazy side-eye. "I have all my limbs and am wealthy. What do you mean, 'can you manage'?"
How could a girl say she couldn't?
"Besides, I can go back to my parents' house. You go ahead and do what you love. I'll be fine."
The more Qiao Ci spoke, the more aggrieved Zhou Ye felt. Good heavens, was he dispensable?
But in the next moment, he had no time to dwell on it.
That's right.
Qiao Ci's parents were still alive. He had married their daughter without even meeting her parents.
Ahem, his father-in-law and mother-in-law should be easy to talk to...
"Let's not talk about these things for now. What about your father and mother?"
Qiao Ci suddenly remembered she had parents, but it wasn't a big problem. "They are vacationing abroad and we can't contact them for the time being. No rush."
Seeing that his wife wasn't in a hurry, Zhou Ye's heart calmed down.
The fact that his father-in-law and mother-in-law could travel abroad indicated that their family conditions were exceptionally good. If he wanted to make a name for himself and not embarrass Qiao Ci, he could only strive to develop in the army.
After resting for a while, they went to town together to buy daily necessities.
Li Wushuang watched them go out as a couple, feeling a surge of jealousy.
If only Lu Ming were an orphan like Zhou Ye, then there wouldn't be that old hag picking on her.
Thinking of how Lu Ming's mother had looked down on her when she met Li Wushuang's parents yesterday, Li Wushuang almost gritted her teeth.
Was being rich so great?
It was still Lu Ming's father's money. She was just enjoying the fruits of his labor, so why should she look down on her parents, and why should she look down on herself?
She even said that her background was poor and that she wouldn't let her into the Lu family. She was determined to get in!
Damn evil mother-in-law, damn the gap between rich and poor!
She originally wanted to save the best for their wedding night, but it seemed she had to break the plan.
Didn't she say she wouldn't let her in? She was determined to enter the Lu family through her son!
Lu Ming, who had sent his mother away during the day, was full of annoyance. Qiao Ci getting married had given him some shock. His mother also disapproved of him being with his beloved Shuangshuang, saying that when she returned, she would arrange blind dates for him.
He saw all of Li Wushuang's grievances, but he couldn't ignore his mother's feelings. Now he was caught in a dilemma, not knowing which side to lean towards.
The doorbell rang. He wondered who it could be at this hour. He asked, but no one answered. Lu Ming opened the door, and Li Wushuang threw herself into his arms, whispering softly, "Brother Ming, take me."
"Stop messing around!" Lu Ming pushed her away, quickly closed the door, and looked at her with a scolding gaze. "Don't mess around, my mind is very confused right now."
"Confused about what? Are you going to listen to your mother and abandon me?" Li Wushuang started to cry softly as she spoke.
Lu Ming genuinely liked her and quickly comforted her. "I didn't mean to. It's just that I have to consider my mother's feelings. Let me think about it properly."
Li Wushuang wouldn't give him time to think. A man's thoughts when he was sober were the most rational and heartless. She stepped forward and hugged Lu Ming's waist. "I don't care, I don't want you to leave me. How about we make the rice cook into cooked rice?"
"Aren't you the one who values chastity the most and wanted to wait until after marriage?" Lu Ming frowned. Perhaps it was due to lack of rest recently, but Li Wushuang's skin looked a bit dull, not as fair and delicate as before.
"I can't worry about that anymore. I just want to give myself to you. We'll deal with future matters later." Li Wushuang didn't dare to push him too hard. She didn't mention his mother again and changed the subject with a smile. "No matter what, I've decided on you. If the groom isn't you, what's the point of the first time being precious, Brother Ming~"
As she spoke, she skillfully moved her hands on his back.
In the end, Lu Ming couldn't resist.
*
The task of the educated youths going to the countryside was almost complete, and Li Wushuang still hadn't gotten pregnant as she wished, which made her anxious.
She thought Lu Ming had a problem, so in her desperation, she went to Wen Zheng. In her previous life, she had gotten pregnant with Wen Zheng's child, but it was secretly aborted. Thinking about it, she felt so foolish in her past life, not knowing how to use her leverage.
When Li Wushuang was fooling around with Wen Zheng, Qiao Ci helped her by leading Lu Ming to them.
As a result, the entire village knew that Li Wushuang and Wen Zheng were fooling around behind Lu Ming's back. Lu Ming beat Wen Zheng on the spot, and the former good brothers turned into sworn enemies.
Lu Ming couldn't help but kick Li Wushuang, who had cuckolded him, twice.
"Listen to my explanation, Brother Ming!" Li Wushuang frantically hugged Lu Ming's thigh and pointed at Wen Zheng, crying, "He forced me! Wuwuwu, I am innocent."
Seeing her framing him, Wen Zheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and cursed, "You bitch, you seduced me! You always talked to me and showed concern for me, giving me a glimmer of hope. Even this time, you were the one who asked me out!"
"Get lost, you're talking nonsense!!!" Li Wushuang yelled at Wen Zheng, tears streaming down her face.
Wen Zheng spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground. "What? You don't want to? Should I drag you into my room in front of people who might pass by?"
"This is my room, you cheap whore who threw herself at me. Do you really think I like you? I was just playing with you because you were so self-infatuated. Who knew you'd actually dare to come to my door and even hug me? Heh, aren't you cheap?"
