Chapter 16 : The Fiancé Everyone Wants to Suck

The more Xiao Ting thought about it, the angrier she became.

Looking at the expressionless Lu Fangfang, she felt like a clown.

“Child marriage…”

“What’s wrong with a child marriage? We’re in a new society now. A feudal custom like child marriage doesn’t count. Mingcheng can refuse to acknowledge it!”

Lu Fangfang: “…”

These words sounded familiar. She thought about it and realized that Zhu Haimei had said the same thing at that time.

Seeing Xiao Ting still trying to cause trouble, Lu Fangfang said quietly, “But Zhuang Mingcheng recognizes it. He approves of this marriage.”

“Impossible, how can you compare to me? This is impossible.”

Xiao Ting shook her head frantically, unable to accept this outcome.

When Lu Fangfang heard this, she felt a bit irritated. She looked down at herself and straightened her back. She didn’t think she was worse than Xiao Ting.

Looking at Xiao Ting, she was again a little angry at Zhuang Mingcheng.

This man is like a blooming flower, every bee wants to take a bite.

“Comrade Ting, I don’t know what misunderstanding there is between you and Mingcheng, but please stop bothering him.”

“I have good news for you. Mingcheng has already written a marriage application. When we get married, we will definitely invite you.”

“You… you bastard!”

Xiao Ting felt humiliated.

She raised her arm and struck Lu Fangfang in the face.

Xu Jinbu, who was standing nearby, saw this scene, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn’t try to stop it.

“Oops…”

A sister-in-law watching the spectacle nearby exclaimed.

Then everyone braced themselves to take sides.

Lu Fangfang watched the slap about to land and reached out to block it.

But she had just spent more than half an hour washing clothes, and her hands were already numb from the cold, so she couldn’t react in time.

It seemed like Xiao Ting was about to slap her.

A hand suddenly appeared and grabbed Xiao Ting’s arm.

“Doctor Ting, have you had enough of the trouble?”

Zhuang Mingcheng was panting, secretly relieved that he arrived just in time.

Looking at the startled Lu Fangfang, he grabbed Xiao Ting’s hand and forcefully threw it down.

He walked up to Lu Fangfang, asking in a low voice, “Fangfang, are you okay?”

“No… I’m fine.”

Lu Fangfang covered her chest and shook her head.

She couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Ting. She felt really overwhelmed.

This woman is so domineering that she actually dared to hit me. She isn’t Xu Jinbu, who would tolerate Xiao Ting.

If that slap had really landed, she would definitely have fought with this woman!

Zhuang Mingcheng turned around and looked at Xiao Ting with an unpleasant expression, “Doctor Ting, how did Fangfang offend you? Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”

Xiao Ting bit her lips tightly and said nothing.

Seeing the intimacy between the two, tears started to fall.

Lu Fangfang: “…”

She curled her lips in disdain. If someone didn’t know, they’d think she was the one bullying Xiao Ting.

“You really wrote a marriage application and want to… marry this woman?”

 Xiao Ting pointed at Lu Fangfang, waiting for Zhuang Mingcheng’s answer.

“Um.”

Zhuang Mingcheng nodded without hesitation.

“Woo!”

Xiao Ting wiped her tears, turned around, and ran away.

“Comrade Ting? Comrade Ting?”

Xu Jinbu, who was standing by, wanted to chase after her immediately, but Zhuang Mingcheng stopped him after he had taken just two steps.

“Xu Jinbu, you could have blocked that slap just now, why did you just stand there and do nothing?”

Xu Jinbu smiled bitterly.

He pointed to his swollen face and said, “OldZhuang, look If I hadn’t stopped them, they would have caused a scene.”

Zhuang Mingcheng paused and took a closer look. Sure enough, there were signs of a beating on Xu Jinbu’s face.

He still had some doubts in his mind, but he stepped back and made way.

Xu Jinbu breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning his head to look at Zhuang Mingcheng, Xu Jinbu patted his shoulder and said with a smile, “I can tell that your sister-in-law is a good woman. Old Zhuang, you must not let her down.”

After saying that, he immediately ran after Xiao Ting.

After running a few steps, a curly-haired woman suddenly walked out of the crowd and stopped him.

“Comrade Progressive, what’s wrong with your face?”

The corner of Xu Jinbu’s mouth twitched. If he didn’t catch up quickly, Ting would probably finish crying.

He was very impatient, but he still smiled and said, “It’s okay, Comrade Zhu Haimei, I have something else to do, so I won’t talk anymore.”

After saying that, Xu Jinbu quickly went after the direction Xiao Ting had run.

“Hey? Hey? Comrade? Comrade?”

Zhu Haimei’s face froze.

Turning her head and looking around, she saw people all around watching the fun, so she simply followed Xu Jinbu.

—-

“Hey, who is this girl? She’s really pretty, prettier than Xiao Ting. Captain Xu is so lucky.”

“Come on, she’s acting like a young lady, she’s definitely not a serious person.”

The sisters-in-law standing by looked at Zhu Haimei curiously as she walked away.

Zhuang Mingcheng listened to their discussions and frowned, “All gone, all gone, there’s nothing to see.”

“Hey, Xiaozhuang, we called you here, otherwise your fiancée would have been bullied. Why are you turning against us now?”

“Sister-in-law, now that everyone has left, there’s nothing to see. You should go back and hang the clothes.”

Faced with a group of military wives, Zhuang Mingcheng was also helpless.

He said all the nice things he could and finally persuaded his sisters-in-law to leave.

Zhuang Mingcheng turned around and saw Lu Fangfang squatting on the shore again, washing clothes.

Scratching his head, he walked over and squatted beside Lu Fangfang.

“I have already sent the letter, but it’s too far away. I don’t know when your family will receive it.”

“Um.”

Lu Fangfang rubbed the clothes vigorously and responded softly.

“The water in this river is cold. Why don’t you go back and add some hot water before washing?”

“No, I’ll clean it right away.”

Lu Fangfang shook her head. She grasped her collar, reached into the river, and rinsed herself.

Zhuang Mingcheng: “…”

“Fangfang, don’t be angry. Xiao Ting’s incident was an accident. I told her before that I had already arranged a marriage, but she didn’t believe it. After this incident, she will definitely not bother you again.”

Lu Fangfang stopped what she was doing. She looked straight at Zhuang Mingcheng, and after a while, she sighed.

This fiancé is handsome, but he is also a trouble.

Lu Fangfang didn’t quite believe what Zhuang Mingcheng said.

Looking at Xiao Ting’s domineering attitude, who knows what kind of trouble she will cause in the future?

Zhuang Mingcheng was startled and immediately said, “Fangfang, don’t worry, I have already submitted the marriage application. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be approved soon.”

“By the way, we have already applied for a house in our family compound. It’s right in front of Political Commissar’s house. I’ll take you to see it later.”
