Chapter 73

“Old Lu, this crazy girl is talking nonsense. Jiefang and Yuanchao have performed very well in the army. They were praised by the leaders some time ago. They are still young and will definitely not bring down your reputation in the future!”

Lin Manyun quickly defended her son. Ruan Qiqi was too vicious. She would never let her son suffer in the border.

“When did they get praised? How come I don’t know?”

Lu Desheng was half-believing and half-doubting. The two bastards were serving in the Jiangcheng Military Region. The third one, Lu Jiefang, was 22 years old and barely made a platoon leader. The fourth one, Lu Yuanchao, was 19 years old and joined the army last year. He is still a soldier now.

He often went to the Jiangcheng Military Region for meetings and would inquire about the situation of the two bastards. He never heard of praise, and of course no criticism.

But Lu Desheng also knew that the reason for not criticizing was because it was in his face. He had inquired privately that the two bastards were very delicate and unpopular, and they couldn’t get along with their comrades.

“Just a while ago, I went to Jiangcheng to deliver something to them, and I talked to their leader. He really praised me. I didn’t lie to you.”

Lin Manyun smiled reluctantly, avoiding her gaze, not daring to look directly at Lu Desheng.

“Which leader? I know everyone in Jiangcheng. I’ll go ask.”

Lu Desheng was smart this time. He didn’t believe her lies and started to get to the bottom of it.

“I can’t remember his name. He really praised me. I don’t need to fool you about this. Besides, Jiefang and Yuanchao are your biological sons. You are so powerful, your sons won’t be bad either. Don’t listen to the nonsense of that crazy girl Ruan Qiqi.”

Lin Manyun changed the subject vaguely and flattered him.

Lu Desheng snorted lightly and said in a cold voice: “Ruan Qiqi is right this time. A tiger father gave birth to two dogs, and you spoiled them. Don’t send them anything in the future. There is a canteen in the army, and there are allowances. They won’t starve to death!”

“The food in the canteen is terrible. They all became thin due to hunger during the Liberation and Aid Korea. Don’t you feel sorry for them?”

Lin Manyun blurted out.

Lu Desheng’s face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: “No matter how bad it tastes, it’s not as bad as grass roots and tree bark. When Xiaoye was a child, he ate grass roots and tree bark in the mountains, and he didn’t starve to death. How come your son can’t endure hardship? Lin Manyun, you know best whether you are sincere or false to Xiaoye!”

“Why am I not sincere, Lu Desheng? I have been with you for more than 20 years, and I have served you and your son wholeheartedly. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard, right? That crazy girl’s few crazy words have made you lose your heart to me. You have disappointed me so much!”

Lin Manyun was angry and afraid, so she just made up her mind and yelled. After yelling, she covered her face and cried back to the room.

After arriving in the room, her tears stopped abruptly, she clenched her teeth, and her eyes were full of hatred.

Ruan Qiqi, this damn bitch, easily provoked the relationship between her and Lao Lu. She underestimated this bitch!

She had to think of a way to keep Jiefang and Yuanchao in Jiangcheng, and they must not go to the border!

Lu Desheng stood alone in the deserted living room, feeling powerless. How could his family become like this?

He sighed, walked into the garden, and frowned when he saw the malnourished seedlings.

No wonder Ruan Qiqi said that the vegetables were grown to such a dead state.

In the past, he was in a hurry to go home and rarely paid attention to the garden. Today was the first time he calmed down to look at the garden. Looking at these rows of half-dead seedlings, he became more dissatisfied with Lin Manyun.

Jiefang and Yuanchao are all like their mother, very spoiled.

Lu Desheng didn’t want to stay at home, so he went out for a walk with his hands behind his back. He met many old comrades along the way and greeted them one by one.

“Lisheng, has your Xiaoye’s girlfriend come back?”

An old man with gray hair and vigorous spirit came towards him. He was wearing glasses and had a gentle temperament. He looked like a university teacher. Next to him was an equally gentle and intellectual old lady, but the old lady walked with a limp, was very thin, and looked very bad.

“Hello, old leader, do you know that girl?”

Facing the two old men, Lu Desheng stood straight and was very respectful.

“Manzai knows her. She asks us for Qiqi every day. Is that girl called Qiqi?” The old lady’s voice was very gentle and her smile was also very soft. She looked like a petite and frail old lady, but she gave people a feeling that her inner core was very strong.

“Yes, her name is Ruan Qiqi. She just came back today and went to Mo Qiufeng’s house with Xiaoye.”

Lu Desheng was very surprised. He knew Lou Yuanfei. Although he was usually very well-behaved, it was just an illusion. This child was very difficult to deal with. It was really strange that Ruan Qiqi could make friends with Lou Yuanfei.

“Manzai misses this girl every day. Tell Qiqi to come to my house when you are free and talk to Manzai.”

The gray-haired old man had a good impression of Ruan Qiqi. Although he had never met her, she was considered a good friend by his Manzai. This girl was obviously a very affectionate and true-natured person. In this chaotic time, there are not many children who can maintain their true nature.

“Okay.”

Lu Desheng agreed.

The two old people walked slowly. They were also taking a walk, but because the old lady had a leg disease, they walked very slowly.

Lu Desheng continued to walk, and unknowingly, he walked to the door of the Mo family.

The door was not closed tightly, leaving a large gap. Through the gap, he could see the scene in the living room.

Ruan Qiqi and Lu Ye were sitting on the sofa, and Mo Qiufeng and Yuan Huilan were sitting on the sofa opposite them. Although he could not hear what they were saying, the atmosphere seemed good and they obviously did not quarrel.

Lu Desheng felt unbalanced. Why? Why

did this crazy girl Ruan Qiqi still treat him differently? She had a seizure in his house, why not in Mo Qiufeng’s house?

Lu Desheng, who was indignant, thought about it and decided to go in and take a look.

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Ruan Qiqi say: “Tomorrow night, Lu Ye and I have prepared some home-cooked dishes, and invite Uncle Mo and Mom to have a wedding banquet.”

“I will definitely go, congratulations!”

Mo Qiufeng was very happy, he was really happy for Lu Ye.

After this child was with Ruan Qiqi, the hostility in his body has been reduced a lot, and he will definitely get better and better in the future.

Yuan Huilan’s face was not very good. She didn’t say she would go, nor did she say she would not go. She still opposed this marriage.

Lu Desheng frowned when he heard it at the door, and his heart was even more unbalanced. Why didn’t they quarrel? Why didn’t these two rebellious sons be sarcastic?

And there are red envelopes, why don’t they want them?

“Cough cough…”

Lu Desheng became more and angrier as he thought about it. He couldn’t help but push open the door and coughed hard a few times.

When Yuan Huilan saw him, her face became even uglier, and she rolled her eyes and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I’m looking for Lao Mo, not you. Don’t be so self-indulgent!”

Lu Desheng snorted coldly. He and this woman could never get along peacefully. They would quarrel whenever they met.

“Huilan, go make some tea!”

Mo Qiufeng quickly sent his wife away to avoid a fight.

He couldn’t figure out how these two people, who were so incompatible, could have fallen in love with each other and given birth to Lu Ye?

Yuan Huilan went to make tea with a stern face. Lu Desheng sat down by himself and deliberately asked, “Xiao Ye, have you told your uncle Mo about your promotion?”

“Xiao Ye got promoted?”

Mo Qiufeng looked surprised. He really didn’t know about it.

“Yes, Xiao Ye has been promoted. He has made great contributions. The promotion was given directly from the General Military Region. The document will be issued next month. Xiao Ye, why didn’t you tell your uncle Mo about such a good thing? Your uncle Mo will definitely be as happy for you as I am, and your mother will definitely be as happy as your aunt Lin and give you a big red envelope.”

Lu Desheng was a straightforward man. It was really difficult for him to be sarcastic, so he spoke in a stiff and straightforward manner.
