Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

Upon hearing Xiao Re say that something was wrong, Lu Yanzheng felt a headache coming on.

In short, nothing good ever comes to mind; she's always either asking for money, swindling money, or bullying He Yingying.

In short, you absolutely must not agree to her request.

Lu Yanzheng quickly withdrew his hand from her soft waist, yawned, and closed his eyes to pretend to be sleepy.

"I'm so tired! We can talk about everything tomorrow, I'm going to sleep now!"

Just a moment ago they were full of vigor and eager to get started, but now they're sleepy?

That scoundrel of a man, he's so unreliable. He's already on guard against her while we're still in bed.

Xiao Re reached out and touched his waist, giving him a hard pinch.

Even though his fingers were sore from being twisted, the man continued to play dead.

"Lu Yanzheng, listen to me carefully. I'll count to three, and if you don't say anything by then, the price will double tomorrow."

"Three, two..."

Before Xiao Re could finish her sentence, Lu Yanzheng instantly opened his eyes and grabbed her mischievous hand.

"No! I promise you!"

Xiao Re curled her lips into a smile, raised an eyebrow, and extended a slender finger, slowly drawing circles on his abdomen and waist. Her tone was both coquettish and mischievous.

"Oh? You agreed so quickly? Aren't you afraid I'll cause you trouble?"

Lu Yanzheng let out a low sigh, his fingertips caressing the soft back of her hand, a mixture of helplessness and indulgence in his expression. Having married such a troublesome wife, what else could he do but tolerate her?

"promise!"

"Even if you tear a hole in the sky, I'll patch it up for you. Just don't make me sleep on a bench."

That sounded fairly comforting. For the sake of her own little scheme, Xiao Re leaned closer to him.

Those restless little hands gently touched his prominent Adam's apple, as if playing with a marble.

What a devil! All she does is cause trouble and stir up trouble.

Lu Yanzheng grabbed her mischievous little hand and suppressed the restlessness in his abdomen, rubbing against her soft body heat.

"Stop fooling around! It's late. If you have something to say, say it; if not, go to sleep!"

Xiao Re tilted her head back, her alluring face leaning lazily against his shoulder, softly and coquettishly.

"It's nothing major. I just want you to help me find a job in the military. I heard that family members can be assigned to military units."

Work? Lu Yanzheng must have misheard. This woman goes to work? She can't even cook, can't sew buttons, can't lift anything, and complains of sore legs after walking just a few steps. What can this delicate, soft woman do?

Besides, with her personality, she'd turn any position she'd hold up.

"What? You're short of money? You swindled five hundred of my bucks in one night, what's the point of you even working?"

"Isn't it better to stay home, enjoy good food and drinks, read books, and snack on sunflower seeds?"

"What job is as relaxing as sleeping? Come on, stop thinking about all that nonsense. Besides your bedroom skills, you're not cut out for any real work."

"I can afford to support you!"

You know, Lu Yanzheng actually knows Xiao Re quite well. She's definitely not cut out for work.

From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Chengji never let her do any work. Her family ran a clinic, so she didn't need to raise pigs or farm. She even ate ready-made meals every day.

She wanted to go to work because she was so bored. The people in the army avoided her like the plague.

Staying cooped up at home all day long, with no one to talk to, who could stand it?

"Can't you find me an easier job? I went for a walk today and saw two new houses being built on the east side of the residential compound, like they're going to turn them into a small shop. Why don't you help me find a job as a sales clerk?"

The sales clerks deal with people coming and going every day; their job is easy, and they can even exchange a few words. Xiao Re thought it was pretty good.

Money doesn't matter, the main thing is that she's too idle and bored.

Lu Yanzheng hadn't expected her to be so clever. The military did indeed need to set up a small shop to make it easier for soldiers' families to shop. However, apart from a few high-ranking officers, this matter hadn't been publicized.

She guessed it just by looking at the location of the house.

He's incredibly cunning.

Being a sales clerk isn't really that tiring. With his seniority and achievements, it wouldn't be difficult for him to ask his superiors for help.

Lu Yanzheng thought about it and decided that he might agree. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good to let her stay at home idle and bully Yingying every day.

"Okay. If you're really interested in this job, I'll try to find out for you. Whether it works out or not depends on what the boss thinks."

Seeing that Lu Yanzheng had agreed, Xiao Re immediately hugged his neck and happily kissed him several times.

"That's great, it'll definitely work. I'm so pretty, I'll be the face of the store just by standing there, and the business will definitely be booming."

Lu Yanzheng smiled but didn't say anything. He directly pulled the woman off his arms, flipped her over, and blatantly demanded his "benefits."

"Open!"

"Let's finish tonight's business first."

Before Xiao Re could react, the man clung to her again.

Because they were concerned about the broken door next door, they didn't dare to be too brazen. The two of them continued their clandestine, hushed-feeling acts cautiously.

It wasn't until late at night that Lu Yanzheng finally calmed down and fell asleep close to her.

But her body remained burning hot, like a furnace. Xiao endured this all night until the bugle call sounded at dawn.

Lu Yanzheng then got out of bed.

He gazed at the blushing young woman, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

So soft!

This is the first time in my thirty years that I've ever had a full meal. This woman is just too tempting; I can never get enough of her.

He fetched hot water, cleaned her body thoroughly, and thoughtfully prepared breakfast before going to work.

He kept the saleswoman's matter in mind and planned to visit the leader's home another day to try and persuade her.

Thinking about the warm and tender moments he had shared all night, Lu Yanzheng felt refreshed and warm inside. Once things were settled, he could eat meat every day—the thought alone made him incredibly happy.

Around noon, a carpenter came to the house. Lu Yanzheng had invited him to repair doors, make beds, and build cabinets.

Xiao is such a spendthrift woman; she buys piles and piles of clothes and jewelry. If we didn't make her a few cabinets, we wouldn't have anywhere to put them.

The carpenter's surname is Chen, and his given name is Chen Mutou. He is a retired soldier who injured his leg during a mission and retired from the military, where he learned this trade.

The army took pity on him and contracted out all the carpentry work to him.

Chen Mutou's craftsmanship was also top-notch; the door he built was so airtight that not even a mosquito could get in.

The newly made bed was large and sturdy. Lu Yanzheng jumped on it a few times without making a sound.

I was extremely satisfied.

From now on, I can do whatever I want at night without worrying about the neighbors hearing the noise.

He simply couldn't find the time to make those cabinets. The store was about to open, and he needed to get the shelves finished as soon as possible.

Chen Mutou said.

"Commander Lu, the Chief of Staff said our unit's small shop is opening next week. All the goods are stocked, but they'll get damp if stored in the warehouse. They're all waiting for my shelves. Could you perhaps give your wife's wardrobe a few more days?"

"Once that end is finished, I'll definitely make you a few beautiful, large cabinets."

Lu Yanzheng nodded and poured Chen Mutou another full glass of wine.

"No rush, finish your work at the store first. It's okay if the display case is a few days late!"

That young woman is waiting to go to work at the store. Getting this done will be more useful than ten cabinets.
