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

She had only mentioned He Yingying's injury casually, which could be considered an explanation.

Unexpectedly, I angered this little woman again.

"Rere, you're talking nonsense again. You're the one I love most!"

"Honey? Were you not satisfied just now? Are you angry? Then I'll do it again."

Just as Lu Yanzheng's lips touched his, Xiao Re pushed him away.

"Lu Yanzheng, do you have any shame? You're thinking about other women, yet you still manage to seduce me. I must be sorry."

"Get out of my way, I'm not interested."

"Rere. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to give up halfway. Yingying is really hurt, and I'm her brother, I can't just ignore her."

Lu Yanzheng felt that Xiao Re was angry because she was jealous, which meant that she still had feelings for him.

"Rere, you're the only one in my heart. My body, my heart, my life—they all belong to you."

A barrage of kisses rained down, more tender, more lingering, and more sticky than before.

But Xiao Re didn't react at all.

No matter how he teased, provoked, or caressed her, she lay there like an ice cube, cold and motionless.

Do not resist, do not respond, do not pander.

If he wants it, let him have it. She's a woman, no match for a man's strength; her struggles are futile and only fuel his interest.

Lu Yanzheng tried for most of the day, but her face remained cold and frosty, and she couldn't get any color from it.

"Rer, move around!"

Xiao was unmoved, even his breathing betrayed his impatience. That silent resistance was more deadly than a couple of kicks.

Lu Yanzheng dejectedly got off her, gently put his arm around her waist, and coaxed her softly.

"Rere, I have to go now. I'll love you properly when I get back."

"As for Yingying, I'll talk to her about it next month after Grandpa's birthday and let her go back to her hometown."

"As for my family, it would be great if they were willing to accept you. If not, we can just live our lives peacefully in the army, okay?"

Xiao Re didn't answer, letting him talk to himself. She didn't believe he would be willing to send He Yingying away, nor did she believe he could stand up to his family.

I never even dared to hope that we would live together for a long time.

All she wants is money; she'll collect the debt and leave. It's uncertain whether the school principal will allow her to return to school.

She made those mechanical gadgets in order to research things that would be useful to society.

As long as you can make a new invention, you can make up for the credits and complete your studies normally.

Lu Yanzheng lingered on Xiao Re for a long time until the sound of an emergency horn rang outside, at which point he hurriedly got up.

"Rere, wait for me to come back!"

After getting dressed, Lu Yanzheng didn't forget to give his wife a kiss on the forehead.

Xiao Re looked out the window at the figure that had vanished into the distance. A complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.

There was disappointment, bitterness, and a vague, indescribable feeling, all tangled in my troubled chest.

She impatiently turned over and buried herself in the dark under the covers, trying not to think about that spoilsport man.

But the bed was filled with his scent; the lingering warmth in the air, combined with the man's unique aroma, was warm, refreshing, and unsettling.

Xiao Re kicked the blanket away, wanting to get away from this aura.

But leaving that familiar scent made it even harder to fall asleep, so she wrapped herself in the blanket again and even grabbed Lu Yanzheng's pillow and hugged it to her chest.

The restlessness in my heart finally subsided a little.

The next day, as soon as He Yingying went to work, Xiao Re dressed up in a flamboyant manner and swaggered off to cause trouble.

Lu Yanzheng told her not to cause her trouble or bully her, but she insisted on doing so.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of that stinky man's affection for his sweetheart?

Xiao slammed a hundred-yuan bill on the counter and shouted with great enthusiasm.

"Buy something!"

He Yingying pouted and rolled her eyes impatiently.

"What should I buy?"

"Lollipop!"

"You're just buying a lollipop?" He Yingying asked in a shrill voice.

"Yes! Give me the change!"

He Yingying was furious!

Who would buy a lollipop for a penny and then receive a hundred-dollar bill? That's just asking for trouble.

But she was a sales clerk; she could only sell whatever the customers bought.

She searched through all the loose change in the drawer before finally managing to scrape together 99.9 yuan and handed it over.

Not long after, Xiao Re arrived again.

She took out another hundred-yuan bill and slapped it on the counter again.

"I'll buy another lollipop!"

He Yingying stomped her feet in anger, but since her foot was still injured, she could only stomp in the air.

"Why are you here again?"

"I finished that lollipop. I thought it was pretty good, so I'll buy another one!"

He Yingying wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Didn't I give you 99.9 in change? Couldn't you have given me some smaller change?"

"No way! I like big bills, I love showing off!"

This arrogant and domineering woman is infuriating!

He Yingying rummaged through drawers and even took out all the loose change from the spare cash drawer, finally managing to scrape together 99.9 for her.

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Re returned a short while later. He brought another hundred-yuan bill.

"Another lollipop! My dog's drooling, he wants one too!"

He Yingying angrily yelled, no longer caring about the sales clerk's polite and courteous service.

"You're buying three lollipops a day? Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

Xiao Re's eyebrows curved into crescents, her smile both mischievous and cunning.

"How could I be looking for trouble? I'm here to patronize your business. You should give me a proper welcome!"

They actually welcomed her? He Yingying wanted to grab a broom and kick her out!

"Not for sale?"

"If a customer comes in and you don't sell anything, I can file a complaint against you!"

He Yingying was so angry she felt like vomiting blood. "I don't have any change!"

"Then you can go to the bank to exchange it!"

With Xiao Re's bad temper, even if she exchanged all the loose change in the bank, it wouldn't be enough to cause her trouble.

He Yingying, with a dark expression, threw a lollipop at her.

"You don't need to pay, can I treat you?"

Of course not. Xiao Re immediately put on a stern face and looked angry.

"Who asked you to treat me? Who do you think you are? Do you think I can't even afford a lollipop? This is poverty discrimination, an insult to my dignity!"

That vixen is too difficult to deal with.

She can't refuse to sell it, nor can she give it away for free. What does she want?

"Xiao Re, can you please stop causing trouble? How am I supposed to do business like this?"

"That's your problem, I didn't do anything wrong. I'm here to buy things and support your business!"

She's not taking care of me at all. With that kind of care, the whole store will go bankrupt.

"Xiao Re, you're being so unreasonable. When Zheng Ge gets back, I'm going to tell him you've bullied me again!"

Xiao Re laughed heartily, laughing so hard that his stomach hurt.

"Go ahead and sue! Sue him as much as you want! I'm just looking for a reason to argue with him!"

She wasn't afraid of Lu Yanzheng at all. If Lu Yanzheng hadn't specifically told her to, she wouldn't have come looking for trouble.

"Xiao Re, I've never seen such a wicked woman. I hate you!"

"Fine, I don't care if you like it or not! Hurry up and get the money, don't hold me up!"

He Yingying was so angry she almost cried. She really couldn't collect a third 99.9.

"You just wait!"

Left with no other choice, he limped to the military's finance office and exchanged a bunch of small change for cash.

"Here you go! Is that alright now?"

Xiao Re took the money, and looking at her pitiful appearance, with bandages wrapped around her legs, he finally couldn't bear to torment her any further.

But he still made jokes.

"Thank you, Comrade He, your service is excellent. I'll definitely come again tomorrow!"

Will you come again tomorrow?

He Yingying really wanted to die.

What terrible luck she had in her life to attract such a wicked and malicious person?

"Thank you, but no need! You're welcome to stay away tomorrow!"

He Yingying's smile was more painful than a grimace.

If Zheng were here, she would definitely make him teach this woman a lesson.

After dealing with He Yingying, Xiao Re went to the breeding farm as usual. This time, she arrived earlier than usual.

Yang Erni looked at the rising sun outside and asked incredulously.

"The sun didn't rise in the west today, so why are you up so early?"

Xiao Re gave her a reproachful look.

When did this little girl learn to sing in a glissando?

Actually, she used to be a very diligent person, okay? It's all because of that man Lu Yanzheng, who doesn't restrain himself every night, that's why she sleeps until late morning every day.

That's why she can get up early as soon as he leaves. Of course, she won't admit that it's because she can't sleep soundly without Lu Yanzheng by her side.

There was no breakfast prepared, so I had to come to Yang Erni's place for a free meal.

"I'm frying two youtiao (Chinese fried dough sticks) today, make them a little golden brown, I like them crispy."

Yang Erni happily brought out the fried dough sticks that had been prepared long ago, along with thick and sticky millet porridge and two plates of delicious pickled radish.

"Knowing you like it, I fried it a long time ago. Just waiting for you."

"Actually, I fry dough sticks every day, but you can never get up. And your husband is so fierce, so I don't dare to bring them over. In the end, they all end up being fed to the piglet."

Xiao Re opened his mouth and took a bite of the golden and crispy fried dough stick. Instantly, his mouth was filled with fragrance. The simple and genuine satisfaction was even better than gnawing on a big chicken leg.

"Erni, you're the best. I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

Men are like clothes; if they don't fit, you replace them. But best friends are for life; even if she gets married in the future, she'll take Yang Erni with her.

Otherwise, where else could you find such a warm-hearted and down-to-earth beautiful cook?

While eating, Xiao Re didn't forget to give Yang Erni another reminder.

"Erni, let me tell you, none of the men in the army are good people. You mustn't fall for them or get fooled by anyone. Otherwise, you'll be stuck with them for life."

Yang Erni was puzzled. "The men in the army are all bad news, so why did you marry into this family?"

Xiao Re's marriage into the family was against her will. She forbade Yang Erni from dating men in the military because she would leave sooner or later. Without her protection, those self-righteous women in the family compound would bully Erni to death.

"I am who I am, don't follow my example. Lu Yanzheng and I are going to get divorced sooner or later too. Wherever I marry, you'll marry too. We'd better find families with brothers."

Yang Erni thought this was particularly good, and she was very willing to follow Xiao Re.

"Okay! I'll do as you say."

"But Dr. Li doesn't seem to have any brothers, only one older sister, who's already married. So who will I marry?"

Xiao Re raised his hand and slapped her silly head.

"I never said I had to marry Dr. Li. Besides, Dr. Li is such a good catch, and I'm a divorcee, so it's definitely not suitable for me. His parents wouldn't agree either."

"We'll talk about the future later, why are you in such a hurry? Once I find a good man, I'll naturally find one for you too."

Yang Erni was a little confused. Lu Yanzheng was such a good catch, handsome, and a high-ranking military officer, why didn't Xiao Re like him and insisted on getting a divorce?

Was it because he was too fierce?

Yang Erni vaguely saw several red marks on Xiao Re's neck. When she pulled up her clothes, she saw that her hands, back, and collarbone were covered in them.

"Oh my god, that guy surnamed Lu actually hit you. Divorce, you have to get a divorce. Tomorrow."

"No, no. It's not what you think!" Xiao Re quickly pulled her clothes up, hurriedly covering up the marks.

Erni is such a silly girl, she's never been to such a place before. How am I supposed to explain this to her?

"Still denying it? Little Rascal, tell me what he used to hit you, and I'll settle the score with him for you later."

"Let him have the guts to stand up and fight me."
