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

Xiao Re pointed to the crimson sunset on the mountaintop and asked him.

"It's not even dark yet, the sun is still so bright outside, what are you sleeping for?"

"What do you mean? Of course it's that kind of thing!" But Lu Yanzheng was too embarrassed to say it.

He's on a mission this time and might not be back for a while. Knowing he'll be gone for several days, he should have a good meal before he leaves.

He followed behind Xiao Re, watching her slender waist and graceful curves with each step, and the desire in his heart burned even hotter.

He wanted nothing more than to pick her up, throw her onto the big bed at home, and take advantage of her.

But this woman's mind was completely on the pigsty, and she didn't care at all how aggrieved her little Zhengzheng was.

It was still more than an hour before dark when Lu Yanzheng followed Xiao Re to the breeding farm. He was shocked by what he saw.

The pigsty was filled with wood, sheet metal, screws, and all sorts of tools such as pliers, pry bars, drills, and screwdrivers.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this was an ironworks or a carpentry workshop.

In the innermost pigpen, there were five or six wooden carts, tin carts, and simple tire carts of various shapes and sizes.

There were also some novelties piled up next to it that I couldn't name.

It looks like a small research and manufacturing workshop.

Looking at these rare objects, Lu Yanzheng's eyes were filled with undisguised surprise, but even more so with disbelief.

"Did you make all of this?"

Xiao Re shook his head slightly.

"No. I didn't do it, Erni did it all."

Given Yang Erni's simple-minded and dull-witted nature, Lu Yanzheng simply couldn't believe she could create so many intricate and complex mechanical vehicles.

"I don't believe it. Without you, Yang Erni definitely couldn't have made these things."

Xiao smiled and readily admitted it.

"I only talked about it; Erni did all the work."

From childhood to adulthood, Yang Erni has always been her best assistant, always ready to help her.

Aside from being simple-minded, she was exceptionally agile, tall, and naturally strong, capable of lifting a 200-pound black bull with her bare hands. In a fight, most men were no match for her.

Xiao spent so much money buying snacks and tried every means to win her over, because he valued her skillful hands and her brute strength.

Most of the trouble I caused as a child was caused by Yang Erni. She was the commander who gave the orders.

In addition, there was the smooth-talking and charming Su Meili. The three of them set out together.

Either the neighbor to the east suffers misfortune, or the neighbor to the west is unlucky; it's a situation where everyone is distressed and even dogs tremble at the sight of them.

If Yang Erni is Xiao Re's lackey, then Su Meili is her henchman.

Previously, Xiao Re was an expert in inventing and creating trouble. Now, after two years of advanced studies at university, he has learned more about mechanics and can easily tinker with a few metal carts.

Lu Yanzheng had never known that Xiao Re, besides causing trouble, also had this ability.

He never asked about her past, and she never brought it up herself. Lu Yanzheng didn't even know where she was from, how much she had studied, or what she majored in.

All I know is that her family ran a clinic, which was burned down by He Yingying.

Now, he really wants to know where she learned this skill.

"Rere, you went to university?"

Xiao paused in his work with the tools, a bitter feeling welling up inside him.

"Yes, I have."

"Graduated?"

"No!" Xiao Re coldly uttered a single word, then fell silent.

She didn't graduate; she took a leave of absence. If it weren't for He Yingying, she would be sitting in a bright and clean university classroom now, enjoying her vibrant campus life.

Instead of getting married haphazardly and then confining herself to this tiny pigsty, working in isolation.

"Why didn't you go?"

"Because your dear fiancée burned down my family's clinic, cutting off my father's livelihood and leaving him with no money for tuition!"

Lu Yanzheng's heart trembled, and his eyes surged with overwhelming guilt. He hugged Xiao Re tightly from behind, his voice hoarse and sour, filled with deep self-reproach.

"sorry!"

He never knew that He Yingying's fire not only burned down her family's clinic and severed his father's finger, but also ruined her future.

"From now on, I will take good care of you and make it up to you."

We'll deal with the future later. Xiao Re just wants to collect the debts he has, and then the matter will be settled.

Three hundred thousand is a lot. But this is the price that those who make mistakes must pay.

"Lu Yanzheng, you don't need to apologize. This was never your fault. Marrying you was just a means for me to get revenge on He Yingying."

Lu Yanzheng felt a dull ache in his heart and a tightness in his throat. His trembling fingertips brushed across her face.

"Don't you have even the slightest feeling for me?"

"No!" Xiao Re replied coldly and decisively, leaving himself no way out.

They're going to get divorced sooner or later anyway. Investing more emotion in it wouldn't be revenge, it would be foolishness.

The relationships within the Lu family are complex. He Yingying's grandfather and father have been kind to the Lu family, and they have long since decided that He Yingying is their daughter-in-law, so no one can interfere.

Even after marrying Lu Yanzheng, Xiao Re never thought she would end up with him.

Lu Yanzheng's eyes welled up with endless bitterness, his heart felt as if it had been squeezed tightly, and all his tenderness and loneliness silently subsided.

It transformed into a low, suppressed breath, gently and tenderly entwining behind her ear.

"Rere."

But I do like you.

Xiao Re turned her head slightly and smiled calmly.

"But your family won't like me!"

Xiao Re spoke the truth, which was also the biggest chasm in this marriage.

Lu Yanzheng's eyes flickered, and the certainty in his eyes seemed somewhat uneasy.

"Rere, I will try my best to find a way to get them to accept you."

Xiao Re's icy expression grew even colder, though a smile still lingered on his face.

"You'd better try to figure out how to pay back the money!"

The setting sun over the distant mountains has slowly sunk below the horizon, and the sky is gradually darkening.

Yang Erni had already prepared dinner and brought it up. The brightly colored, spicy pig's trotters already emitted an enticing aroma even before they were served.

"Erni, this is so delicious! I want to stay with you forever and eat your cooking!"

Xiao Re munched on a large pig's trotter, muttering contentedly.

Yang Erni also ate heartily and with relish.

Only Lu Yanzheng, facing the table full of delicious food, was filled with sorrow and could not swallow.

She even lost the will to sleep. The thought of Xiao Re getting a divorce in the future made her heart ache.

Yang Erni, who was standing next to him, noticed that he sighed twice and realized that he seemed a little unhappy. She very considerately pushed the plate of bright green chives in front of him.

"Commander Lu, have some vegetables. Xiao Re said that it's good for men's health to eat more of these."

Lu Yanzheng's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Xiao Re with a slight smile, his eyes filled with obvious mockery. It was as if he were saying, "So you really care about me."

Xiao blushed with embarrassment, quickly moved the chives aside, and scolded Yang Erni reproachfully.

"You're talking nonsense. When did I ever say such a thing?"

Yang Erni spoke with a serious expression and great certainty.

"Just yesterday, you forgot? You saw a patch of chives behind the farm and said it was good stuff, don't waste it. It's best to cut it to nourish men."

Xiao Re was truly speechless. She had just said it casually; she hadn't said she would make it up to Lu Yanzheng.

Erni, that silly girl, how could she open her mouth and cause such a mess? How is she supposed to feel about this?

Lu Yanzheng listened intently, his gaze fixed on her, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.

He moved the chives back over, picked up his chopsticks, and ate a large handful.

"Mmm! Delicious!"

"Thank you for your concern, wife. Looks like I'll have to work even harder tonight."

Yang Erni couldn't understand Lu Yanzheng's riddle, so she held a big pig's trotter and asked innocently.

"What's the point of working hard at night? Everyone else works hard during the day!"

puff!

The two people next to him were shocked and simultaneously spat out a mouthful of rice.

Lu Yanzheng almost choked to death on the chives.

Xiao Re almost choked to death on a pig bone!

Yang Erni is really good at chatting.

Lu Yanzheng wiped his mouth, trying to remain calm, and responded seriously.

"Okay! I'll work hard during the day from now on!"
