Lu Zechuan saw Xu Yuan as if he had seen a savior, and quickly led the people back to the house.

Seeing his anxious look, Xu Yuan thought something serious had happened, and his expression also tensed up.

"Tell me, how do you appease a girl when you've made her angry?"

"Huh?" Xu Yuan was a little confused for a moment because he didn't expect Lu Zechuan to be so eager to ask him such a question.

"What? I asked you how to appease a girl if you've upset her?"

"Boss, did you make Wen Zhiqing angry?"

Lu Zechuan's face still felt hot as he thought about the kiss from earlier. "Mmm!"

"That shouldn't be happening. Wen Zhiqing is such a gentle person, how could she get angry like that? Boss, what heinous thing did you do?"

Lu Zechuan narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan shuddered and immediately recalled the days when he was trained by Lu Zechuan.

"Boss, I was wrong. It's all because I didn't know how to speak properly!"

Lu Zechuan then looked away.

Xu Yuan scratched his head. He thought of his younger sister at home. Every time he got angry, he had to buy her a hair accessory to tease her before she would forgive him.

"Why don't you buy some gifts to appease Wen, the educated youth?"

Lu Zechuan thought about it and felt that Xu Yuan made sense. He had never actually bought Wen Li a formal gift before. He usually just bought her some rare food. Now that he thought about it, he felt a little annoyed, so he kicked Xu Yuan out.

Xu Yuan: ...You're so high and mighty, you're amazing!

After closing the door, Lu Zechuan took out the money box.

He only had fifty yuan on him. He took the rest of the money and his bankbook out of his pocket and then hurriedly knocked on Wen Li's door.

Wen Li opened the door and saw Lu Zechuan standing awkwardly at the door.

"Wen, I need to talk to you!"

Wen Li stepped aside to let him in.

Lu Zechuan gave Wen Li the bankbook and the money together.

"These are my allowances and bonuses over the years. Take them and buy whatever you want!"

Wen Li took the passbook and glanced at it. Her eyes widened in disbelief. There was a total of over 2,600 yuan in the passbook.

You have to understand, 2,600 yuan is a considerable amount of savings in those days. Many families can't save that much money in their entire lives!

Lu Zechuan has been in the army for four years and now only receives a monthly allowance of thirty yuan. He didn't have that much at the beginning, but he has managed to save so much money. It's all the bonuses he earned from completing missions. His bankbook shows deposits of one hundred yuan and remittances of two or three hundred yuan.

The highest single transaction was five hundred yuan.

Just think about how much suffering he has endured over the years. Wen Li thought of the scars on his body, which he had earned with his life.

Wen Li's heart softened immediately. "You've given me all your bankbooks. What will you do if you urgently need money in the future?"

"I set aside a little for expenses, but I don't usually need much money. Besides, I can earn money by hunting, so I won't be short of cash!"

Wen Li accepted the passbook and counted the stack of money he gave her. It totaled 284 yuan, along with some grain coupons, meat coupons, a few feet of cloth coupons, and some industrial vouchers.

"I've exchanged all my old cloth coupons with other people. I'll save up some more coupons from now on. If you want to buy clothes, just use the money I give you!"

Wen Li looked at him with a smile on her lips, "Why didn't you buy it for me?"

Lu Zechuan's expression turned serious. "I'm sorry, we can't go public with our relationship yet. I'm afraid it will implicate you. I'll go back and file for marriage after things are settled here. Is that alright?"

Wen Li understood Lu Zechuan's concerns. She had heard her grandfather and his generation talk about how rampant enemy agents were in this day and age, so she didn't want to become Lu Zechuan's weakness.

"Is the task difficult?"

This was the first time Wen Li had asked Lu Zechuan about the mission.

"Yes, this involves many people. We must find them all and eradicate them completely!"

Lu Zechuan didn't elaborate. These matters were classified, and Wen Li knew without a doubt how dangerous they were. There was no complete ban on firearms at the moment, and with so many people, eradicating them completely wouldn't be easy. Besides, no one knew where those people were hiding.

Perhaps those villagers who are chatting and laughing might also be enemy agents.

If exposed, Lu Zechuan may also be in danger.

"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, I won't be a burden to you!"

Lu Zechuan hugged Wen Li again. "I'm not worried about you becoming a burden to me, but about dragging you down with me!"

The two secretly started dating, but their daily interactions were no different from usual. However, Lu Zechuan would occasionally secretly send Wen Li small gifts after everyone had fallen asleep.

In this day and age, there aren't many good things to give. The things Lu Zechuan sends are very simple, usually just hair accessories or nice fabrics, and most of the time he sends snacks.

Wen Li wasn't picky either, after all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do!

After a period of peace in the village, news suddenly broke from the village chief's family that Yu Shuang was going home to visit her relatives. This was not a big deal, after all, Yu Shuang was a sent-down youth, and the two had been married for half a year, so it was perfectly normal for her to go home to visit her relatives.

However, Jiang Yue'er wouldn't let Yu Shuang go back, and the two sisters-in-law even got into a fight over it.

Jiang Yue'er was the darling of the family. Since Yu Shuang dared to make a move, Liu Guixiang naturally helped Jiang Yue'er beat Yu Shuang. The Jiang brothers happened to be away from home. Since Yu Shuang couldn't beat the mother and daughter, she smashed all the pots and pans in the house.

The clattering and clanging made a racket all over the ground, disturbing several families in the neighborhood.

When Hu Xiaocao from next door overheard this, she was furious. The two families had already fallen out, and Hu Xiaocao was eager to spread the village chief's troubles throughout the village. Once she went out and told everyone, they all found out.

After hearing about it, Su Hao and Deng Wei went to the village chief's house to see Yu Shuang. Yu Shuang's face was bruised and swollen, and a large patch of her hair had been pulled out.

When Jiang Lao Er saw Yu Shuang's appearance, he wanted to blame Liu Guixiang and Jiang Yue'er, but one was his own mother and the other was his beloved younger sister, so he was caught in a dilemma.

Yu Shuang was not surprised at all. She had no intention of coming back after leaving this time. Her family had already arranged a job for her. However, after spending more than half a year with Jiang Lao Er, she felt somewhat guilty towards him. Now that was fine, she had no more worries about leaving.

Jiang Lao Er was unaware that Yu Shuang had long wanted to abandon him and run away, and was still defending Jiang Yue'er and his own mother.

This angered Su Hao and Deng Wei, but since they were not Yu Shuang's relatives, Yu Shuang didn't want to get entangled with them. She just wanted to go home smoothly, so the matter was eventually dropped.

Jiang Laosan saw through Yu Shuang's thoughts, but since she was his second sister-in-law, he didn't say much. He just reminded his second brother to treat Yu Shuang better.

Unfortunately, Jiang Lao Er was clueless. He thought that since Yu Shuang had married him, she was one of his own, and he didn't take Jiang Lao San's words to heart at all.

Yu Shuang coldly looked at Jiang Lao Er, quietly packed her things, and then stopped talking.

"Second brother, you can't let her leave like this. What if she doesn't come back?"

Jiang Yue'er looked at Jiang Lao Er with disappointment and frustration.
