1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 102: Watching the fun can also cure illness

Wu Baozhu argued in public not because she was not afraid of being embarrassed, but because she did not see ordinary people in her eyes.

Why bother about someone you’ll never see again in your life?
But Gu Qingye and Lu Youyou are obviously different. According to Wu Baozhu's standards, they are both decent people.

Wu Baozhu doubted her eyes. She had never noticed these two conspicuous people. The key point was that Gu Qingye was wearing a military uniform!

Wu Baozhu grew up in the compound, so she could tell at a glance whether he was a soldier or not. And since he was on the same boat, it was very likely that he was going to the same place as her.

She looked at Gu Qingye again and confirmed that she didn't know him, but her heart was still hanging in the balance.

Among certain groups of people, Wu Baozhu is a person who cares a lot about her reputation. When she thought that what happened just now was seen by Gu Qingye and Lu Youyou, she felt extremely embarrassed and angry.

She and her husband argued endlessly, while the couple across from her looked very loving. Such a sharp contrast made her full of resentment towards Cao Xiangdong's family.

Wu Baozhu didn't want to marry a peasant at first, but her teacher father slammed the table and said that Cao Xiangdong was a good person with strong abilities.

Wu Baozhu was dissatisfied with Cao Xiangdong in every way. To put it nicely, he was honest and obedient, but to put it bluntly, he was not very worthy of any criticism. His family was extremely poor, and he was the only one with a promising future. He also had three younger brothers and sisters back home, which was a headache.

If it weren't for Cao Xiangdong's good looks, Wu Baozhu would have absolutely no desire to be with him.

In her mind, she was marrying down, and with the support of her father-in-law who was a teacher, Cao Xiangdong's future would be bright.

Having taken such great advantage of the Wu family, it's okay for her to get a little angry. So what if she dislikes her in-laws? Is there anyone in Cao Xiangdong's family who deserves her favor?!
This year during the Chinese New Year, she went to Cao's house to give him face. Cao Xiangdong's poor mother actually said that she would help her take care of the child when she got pregnant. Wu Baozhu was furious when she heard that.

Isn’t it enough that a son can marry into a wealthy family, but the old woman has to go to her house in person to take advantage of her?
Wu Baozhu slammed the table and said that she was the only daughter in the Wu family, and Cao Xiangdong was equivalent to marrying into the family. It was because she, Wu Baozhu, was kind that she wanted to visit her husband's family, and she should not even think about anything else.

As soon as she said this, Aunt Cao began to stagger on the spot, covering her chest and crying bitterly.

But would Wu Baozhu care? Not only would she not care, she would also want to leave early so that if anything happened to the old woman, it wouldn't be blamed on her.

Cao Xiangdong was shaking with anger.

His wife made his mother so angry that she almost fainted at his home. If he can swallow this anger, he is not a man.

He could tolerate anything Wu Baozhu did, except this one.

This was the first time he got angry with his wife after they got married. Given Wu Baozhu's personality, she was the one who endured it and didn't overturn the roof on the spot.

She put down her bowl and slammed her chopsticks, didn't eat the New Year's dinner, picked up her luggage and turned to leave.

Cao Xiangdong didn't even look at her, his eyes red as he knelt down and kowtowed to his sad mother.

His father died early, and his mother raised him and his siblings with great difficulty. The Cao family was poor, but they lived an upright life.

Wu Baozhu is going too far!
Cao Xiangdong knelt and refused to get up. Finally, his mother wiped her tears and advised him earnestly to go find Wu Baozhu as soon as possible, saying that she must not let a young girl leave alone.

In the end, the person was found, but Wu Baozhu never spoke a word to anyone in the Cao family again. She endured it for one night and said she would leave the next day.

Cao's mother did not blame anyone. She just packed two large bags of local specialties and told Cao Xiangdong that it would be better for him to go back early.

Wu Baozhu was in a bad mood all the way, and this time Cao Xiangdong remained silent no matter what she said.

Finally, Wu Baozhu finally exploded.

Although she didn't care about the onlookers, everyone looked at her like a shrew, but they all looked at Cao Xiangdong with sympathy. This made the proud and conceited Wu Baozhu unbearable. She started yelling in the cabin again, and things became like this.

Wu Baozhu looked back at Cao Xiangdong and couldn't help but compare him with Gu Qingye.

Lu Youyou looked pale and it was obvious that she was not in good health. The man protected her so closely, fearing that she would get hurt. Looking at Cao Xiangdong again, he was afraid that he would make her angry to death!
More importantly, Gu Qingye's appearance was what she liked the most. In comparison, Cao Xiangdong's only advantage was not worth mentioning.

Filled with shame, anger, resentment, and inexplicable irritability, Wu Baozhu was now like a cannon with its fuse almost burned out, ready to explode at any moment.

She couldn't stay on the deck any longer, and there were old-fashioned people waiting to watch the fun in the cabin. Wu Baozhu wanted to drive everyone off the boat and not let anyone bother her.

She was trying hard not to show weakness in front of Gu Qingye and Lu Youyou, and subconsciously adopted a commanding tone when facing Cao Xiangdong.

"Let's go! What are you waiting for? Isn't it enough to enjoy the breeze on the island? You want to come to the boat to enjoy it?"

Cao Xiangdong's face turned black and white, and his family scandal was exposed in front of an unknown comrade.

He didn't go to see Gu Qingye because he was afraid of seeing contempt in his eyes.

After Wu Baozhu left, Cao Xiangdong's face stiffened and he apologized through gritted teeth: "Sorry to bother you."

After saying this, he walked straight to the rear cabin without waiting for the two to answer.

Lu Youyou watched a big show for free and found that her seasickness was miraculously cured.

She tried to let go of the handrail and swayed up and down with the board. It seemed... okay?
"This is the first time I know that watching excitement can also cure diseases!" This surprise is so unexpected!
Gu Qingye felt the touch on his chest disappear, and the reluctance that surged in his heart was forcibly suppressed by him.

"Don't let go of the armrest yet, give it some time to get used to it." He stood still, his hands resting loosely on Lu Youyou's back.

Lu Youyou turned his neck and moved his hands and feet, and the dizziness had indeed disappeared for the most part.

Although the smell of dead fish was still as strong as ever, at least it only attacked her sense of smell and did not affect her feelings, which at least saved her from the dangerous line of being on the verge of death.

The coastline behind him was out of sight, and there were only a few small and dilapidated fishing boats on the vast sea.

"How long will it take?"

Gu Qingye glanced at his wrist: "More than half an hour."

Lu Youyou had no idea about the measurement units at sea, but the total one and a half hour voyage was definitely within the near-shore area.

"That's not very far!"

Seeing her smile spread, Gu Qingye felt relieved: "If you can get used to taking the boat, you can come to the city for a stroll when you get tired of staying on the island."

Lu Youyou has no interest in the city. It's a rare opportunity to live on an island. Wouldn't going to the beach to catch seafood be more interesting than shopping?
"I don't know where we'll live, hopefully by the sea."

"You like the sea? Don't you only like seafood?" Gu Qingye said with a smile.

For someone who is overwhelmed by the ferry, it would be a little unconvincing to say that he likes the sea.

Lu Youyou turned around and looked at him. This guy had also learned to joke seriously!
