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

Chapter 44 What kind of gossip is this? !

On the way back, Lu Youyou received countless stares. Some people not only looked at her, but also wanted to touch her, hoping to get some good fortune and hope that one day they would be hit by something.

This time, without Li Sanhua to lead the way, she had to charge forward on her own. If she weren't young, she might not have been able to shake off the aunt in the family compound.

There was a familiar bitter smell at the door of his house. Lu Youyou stopped as soon as he reached the intersection and almost didn't want to go forward.

Even though it was Chinese medicine, the smell was the worst she had ever seen in her life!
At this time, the gate of Zhao Wan's house opened, and Aunt Luo came out with a medicine jar and buried the medicine residue under the wall with familiarity.

Lu Youyou felt sorry for the rose bush. It was forced to take medicine every day. No wonder the flowers bloomed so sparsely.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the way Aunt Luo looked at her was very different, and the frown between her eyebrows was even deeper than usual.

Lu Youyou nodded as a greeting. When she turned around to close the door, Aunt Luo glanced over here, looking even more bitter and vengeful than her high school principal.

Zhao Wan's life was really hard living with such a mother-in-law, and having to take a bottle of medicine every day made it even harder.

Lu Youyou quickly went into the house and closed the doors and windows. She was afraid that the marinade would take on the flavor if she smelled it for another second.

I don’t know where Xiao Huihui went to play, and the house was quiet.

She shook her numb arms. Things were real these days, and the prizes were extremely heavy, especially the thermos, which weighed several kilograms even when empty.

Lu Youyou glanced at the things on the table and felt like she had forgotten something, as if she had forgotten her lunch box and notebook in the cafeteria?

Although it’s not the one with the stick figures drawn on it, it’s still not good to leave it outside.

Lu Youyou stood up resigned to her fate and had no choice but to make one more trip.

As I walked into the yard, I heard someone talking at the door, so I waited for a while until it was quiet outside before going out.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Wan standing at the door, staring at Aunt Luo's back in a daze.

Lu Youyou always thought that Zhao Wan was a typical Chinese good wife. She regarded her husband as her heaven and gave everything for her family. Most importantly, she could endure any hardship or pain.

She thought that such people would just swallow their tears, but when Zhao Wan turned around and saw her, her eyes suddenly turned red.

Lu Youyou was confused. Why did he cry when he saw her?
"Sister-in-law, what are you..."

Without knowing the cause and effect, there is no comfort at all.

Seeing Lu Youyou's wide eyes, Zhao Wan was even more flustered than her, as if she didn't expect that she couldn't hold back her tears.

She quickly turned her head and said "I'm sorry".

Now Lu Youyou felt embarrassed.

The two families were neighbors, and Zhao Wan often accompanied her up the mountain. It would definitely not be okay to just turn around and leave, but it also seemed inappropriate to ask about other people's private affairs.

Besides, she is the wife of Zhao Wan’s husband’s colleague, so her position is even more strange.

But people's emotions always have limits, just like Zhao Wan couldn't hold back her tears just now. At this moment, looking at Lu Youyou, she suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to about all her grievances.

"Sister, are you free?"

Lu Youyou's scalp was tingling. What was going on today? The melons in the melon field were growing one after another.

"Yes, but I have to go to the cafeteria first..."

"I'll come with you. I'm eating alone tonight too."

Lu Youyou was forced to be a badger, but she didn't expect that the first person to eat her own melon would be hers.

"I heard the police sent you a banner and you were interviewed by the military newspaper. Congratulations!"

"No, no, I had completely forgotten what happened on the train. I didn't expect there would be a sequel."

"The reporter who came today... do you know who she is?" "She seems to be the commander's daughter?"

Lu Youyou waited for a long time but heard nothing more. Turning around, she saw Zhao Wan hesitated to speak, so she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

Zhao Wan considered, "Sister, logically, I shouldn't be talking about this, but Captain Gu is not at home right now, and I'm afraid there might be rumors out there. I'll tell you so you can have an idea."

Lu Youyou understood that his previous feeling was correct.

She laughed and said, "I am a kind-hearted person and never listen to rumors."

Zhao Wan was very envious. She could never be as broad-minded as Lu Youyou.

"I heard, just heard, that someone introduced Comrade Lu and Captain Gu as a matchmaking couple."

She considered the tone, fearing that Lu Youyou would get anxious, and immediately added a sentence.

"But I haven't heard anything further since then. Don't worry. After all, she's the commander's daughter, so not many people know about this."

Lu Youyou was stunned. That’s it?

She's not even my ex-girlfriend, it's just a blind date that didn't work out, how can this be considered gossip?!
This kind of "secret" that is not explosive enough is not worthy of Zhao Wanzhen's careful choice of words.

However, "not many people know about it" is roughly equivalent to saying that quite a few people know about it, and the so-called secrets are not secrets at all.

Zhao Wan had been observing carefully and even prepared words of comfort, but Lu Youyou didn't react at all, or rather, her reaction was a little strange.

Lu Youyou suddenly felt an indescribable excitement in her heart.

Ever since she came here, she has always felt detached, as if this world was fictional to her and everyone was like an NPC. Only Gu Qingye was real and had some connection with her.

She is not interested in other people's gossip, and only when she hears his scandals does she feel it is real.

Zhao Wanqing was unsure of Lu Youyou's attitude, so she decided to comfort her first.

"Sister, you don't have to think too much. It's all in the past. No matter what, you are the one marrying Captain Gu now."

Lu Youyou didn't react at first, as if it didn't make sense whether she was sad or not, so she could only smile and nod.

Zhao Wan was filled with emotion, and envied her sincerely: "Sister, they say happiness comes naturally when you are at peace with yourself. You are a blessed person! Unlike me..."

A long sigh made Lu Youyou shudder, as if he had been fed ten kilograms of Coptis chinensis.

For Zhao Wan to express her true feelings in front of an outsider like her, she must have been eating Coptis chinensis as her meal every day.

Ever since she learned that Zhao Wan was not living well, Lu Youyou's impression of Luo Hongqi plummeted.

This instructor looks gentle and kind, and is said to have good work ability, but he can't even protect his wife, or he doesn't even want to protect her. He is simply a scumbag.

Zhao Wan wiped her tears and started talking.

"My family's daily cooking of medicine must have affected you. I apologize to you."

Lu Youyou could only console him: "Every family has inconveniences sometimes, and it will pass if we understand each other."

To be honest, she is not very kind. The aroma of the soup she stews every day spreads from ten miles away, and it is not certain which one has greater lethality.

"I've been through so much hardship over the years. I often wonder if I'll ever have children. He hasn't urged me to do so in the ten years we've been married, but my mother-in-law..."

When Lu Youyou heard this, she accused Luo Hongqi of a more serious crime in her heart.

What do you mean by never urged? He didn't object either. Does that mean it doesn't matter if he doesn't have to suffer?
Lu Youyou glanced at Zhao Wan. She was still immersed in sadness, but she didn't realize that the source of her sadness might be her husband who never urged her.

"Sister-in-law, are you sure it's your problem?"
