Chapter 97: Local Specialties for Brother-in-law

"Jasmine, I didn't call back to argue with you."

On the phone, the man's voice was slow and magnetic, and it inexplicably had a calming power.

"I just care about how you are doing and whether you have been bullied or wronged."

"Such a big thing happened, and you didn't even tell me."

"I'm like a garbage collector, picking up bits of information about you from this person and that person."

Hearing the man's depressed and aggrieved tone, Jiang Moli secretly laughed, "Oh, then you are quite busy."

"I don't like hearing about you from others, Jasmine. I want to hear it from you."

Jiang Moli asked: "What did you hear? Who told you?"

"Jiang Qing, she wrote a letter to Zhang Jiaming, and Zhang Jiaming came to see me."

In addition to Zhang Jiaming, Qiao Wenjing also ran up to him and said the same thing, and what she said was almost the same as what Zhang Jiaming said.

That was one of the reasons why he was angry.

Even his husband didn't know, but outsiders knew more than he did.

They all worry about their own business and instead of thinking about how to improve themselves, they focus on his household chores.

Jiang Moli was not surprised at all to hear that it was Jiang Qing who tipped off the letter.

She guessed it was Jiang Qing.

Come to think of it, she also had to thank Jiang Qing for helping her promote it.

Once everyone in the army knows her name and "evil deeds", won't she earn more dislike points?
Really, before she left, she must have given Jiang Qing a banner that said "Helping Others".

"What Jiang Qing said is probably pretty accurate. Let's just leave it at that."

Hearing her cheerful tone and the fact that she wasn't angry at all, Lu Cheng was both surprised and secretly proud.

She is worthy of being his wife. She never panics or gets upset.

He has a really good eye.

After getting Jiang Moli's promise that she would tell him about family matters in the future and would not let him hear about them from others, Lu Cheng was finally satisfied and had the leisure to chat with her about family matters.

"Are your dad and Aunt Ying doing well? What has Xiaopeng been busy with lately?"

Jiang Moli glanced at Lu Dezhao and An Hui who were sitting opposite her, and replied, "Mom and Dad are in good health. They eat well and sleep well. Their waists and legs don't hurt."

Lu Dezhao nudged his wife quietly, "Did you hear that? You bastard still cares about us."

An Hui rolled her eyes at him and said nothing, but her relaxed brows showed that she was in a very good mood.

Lu Cheng was so sharp and intelligent that he could have guessed that Jiang Moli was doing her filial duty for him and trying to make the old couple happy.

His eyes were slightly hot.

Suddenly he understood why his parents had been urging him to get married all these years.

A man may have ambitions to travel far and wide, but once he has a home, he will have concerns, attachments, and roots.

He spoke, his voice filled with a gentleness that he himself didn't even notice: "When you have time to go back to your mother's house, ask Xiaopeng to call me. I have something to tell him. Okay, give the phone to Mom, I want to talk to her for a few minutes."

"it is good."

An Hui answered the phone.

"Mom, how's your waist? I just found out about your injury today. It's my fault."

An Hui's eyes warmed slightly at her son's concern, but she said angrily, "It's nothing serious. It was just an accidental flicker. It's healed already."

After finishing the call with her son, An Hui looked at Jiang Moli, who was bending over in front of the windowsill to water the flowers and plants, and her eyes unconsciously revealed tenderness.

The third son has been rebellious since childhood and only made her angry. Now that he has married, he starts to care about his mother.

……

After dinner, Jiang Moli returned to her parents' home.

It’s not that he was in a hurry to send a message to Jiang Peng, but he was sending vegetables to Jiang Dahai.

The peppers, eggplants, cucumbers and tomatoes grown in the Lu family's yard are bearing particularly good fruits. Since we can't eat them all anyway, we can take some back to my parents' home and save money on vegetables to buy more meat.

The two houses are now separated by a street, and it only takes 10 minutes to get there.

When we arrived, the Jiang family was still having dinner.

When Jiang Peng heard that Lu Cheng wanted to see him for something, he stopped eating, threw down his bowl and walked out.

I found a public phone and called Lu Cheng. "Brother-in-law, it's Xiaopeng! My sister said you were looking for me?"

"I've already taken care of your matter. I estimate you'll receive your enlistment notice by the middle of the month. Prepare well."

"Thank you, brother-in-law! By the way, brother-in-law, I prepared some local specialties for you."

"You don't have to resort to such nonsense. I won't buy it."

"That's what my sister meant."

Lu Cheng paused, "Did your sister ask you to bring me something?"

"My sister told me to hold on to your thighs tightly, follow you closely, and strive to achieve merit as soon as possible."

Lu Cheng really dislikes the idea of ​​currying favor with the powerful, but it’s a different story when the target is his wife.

The daughter-in-law lets her brother-in-law follow her, which shows her trust and dependence on him.

He disdains other people's flattery, but he is eager to please his wife!

Lu Cheng couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. "Okay then, take it if you want."

"Okay brother-in-law, then you wait for me, hehe!"

Jiang Peng returned home happily, but Jiang Dahai and Li Hongying had already eaten.

Jiang Dahai and Jiang Moli were sitting on the sofa eating watermelon, while Li Hongying was washing dishes in the kitchen.

Jiang Peng's unfinished rice bowl and vegetable plate were still on the dining table, apparently waiting for Jiang Peng to come back and eat.

Jiang Peng couldn't care less about eating cold rice. "Sister, Dad, my brother-in-law said he has arranged everything for me. I'm going to him!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Dahai hurriedly pulled him aside for questioning, and was completely relieved after confirming that his son had been assigned to serve in the army under his son-in-law.

Although his son-in-law had said before that he would transfer his son to live with him, he didn't dare to hold too much hope as there had been no news for so long.

Thinking that this might be difficult to handle, I decided to just forget it and not cause more trouble for my son-in-law.

After his daughter got married, Jiang Dahai's only concern was his son Jiang Peng.

With his son-in-law taking care of him in the future, he has nothing to worry about.

……

The bright and brilliant sunshine sprinkled on the playground, casting a golden glow on the sweaty faces of the soldiers.

The call to finish training sounded and the morning exercise ended.

"Everyone has it, disband!"

Watching Lu Cheng's tall and strong figure disappear into the distance, the subordinates looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What's going on? Your face was so dark yesterday, and you didn't even practice extra this morning?"

"Maybe he's calmed down. I think Lu Ying is in a good mood."

"What's good about that? Zhang Jiaming from our company was punished."

The speaker was Sun Jianhua, the company commander of Zhang Jiaming's company.

Sun Jianhua also didn't know the real reason why Zhang Jiaming was punished.

Although Lu Cheng was angry, he still gave Zhang Jiaming some face and did not tell him the specific reason for punishing him.

So everyone unanimously concluded that Zhang Jiaming was the one who took on Lu Cheng's anger for the entire battalion.

In addition to sympathy, everyone ran to comfort Zhang Jiaming.

……

The flame of the kerosene lamp swayed gently, casting the crooked shadows of the Zhang family on the mud wall.

"Dad, Mom, the teacher is asking us to pay the registration fee today."

Hearing her second daughter's words, Jin Yulan looked unhappy. "Studying for a crappy school costs money. Do you think money is so easy to make? There's no money!"

Zhang Ermei's eyes turned red from being scolded, "If you don't pay, you won't be able to take the junior high school entrance exam."

"If you can't pass the exam, then don't study! You're going to get married anyway, so what's the point of studying so much?"

Jin Yulan scolded her second daughter, but glanced at Jiang Qing.

Don't be too obvious when you're making indirect accusations.

Amidst Zhang Ermei's sobbing, Jiang Qing suddenly spoke out—
