Chapter 44: A Glimpse of Marital Feeling

“Chicken feet salad.”

Wen Yanyan didn’t want to argue with him anymore. This man had a cold mouth, but his heart wasn’t bad at all.

“How long has it been?”

Nan Fangjue saw her head down, and his anger subsided somewhat. It seemed she knew she was wrong.

“More than half a month.”

Wen Yanyan looked at his long legs.

More than half a month?

She had actually been doing this for so long?

Nan Fangjue’s subsided anger returned, and he gritted his teeth.

Wen Yanyan heard the grinding of teeth beside her ear, and felt a little scared.

This man’s anger was quite frightening. After a while, she heard…

“Wen Yanyan, I’ll say it one last time, don’t engage in speculation and profiteering! You’re a military dependent, pay attention to your influence. If there’s another time, our relationship will go back to how it was before. Do you hear me!”

Nan Fangjue threatened her; it was too much.

For so many days, this little woman had been playing hide-and-seek right under his nose, treating him like a fool!

“Oh.”

Wen Yanyan didn’t insist. She didn’t want to go back to how things were before; they had just started to feel like a couple.

“Then I have to do something, right? I can’t just stay at home all day, can I?”

These days, she had also thought about it. Selling chicken feet was profitable, but her capacity was limited, and she couldn’t handle it all.

If someone helped, expanding the business, selling fifty kilograms a day wouldn’t be difficult.

How much money could she make?

Wen Yanyan had calculated that she could earn over a thousand yuan a month, and over ten thousand a year!

A ten-thousand-yuan household!

It wasn’t a joke; it was easy money. However, people in this era were timid and didn’t dare to work with her.

She couldn’t handle it alone because the chicken feet needed deboning, which was very labor-intensive.

The most crucial point was that she was a military dependent. If she got a job, it would definitely affect Nan Fangjue’s future.

He still needed to continue developing in the army.

So, it was good that he found out today; she could put this business on hold.

She could resume it after the reform and opening up in seven or eight years when the policies were relaxed.

It wouldn’t be too late then; it was less than a year away.

……

“Then tell me, what do you want to do besides doing business?”

Nan Fangjue’s face was stern. This woman’s ambitions were growing; the house couldn’t contain her anymore.

“You don’t know, do you?”

Wen Yanyan looked up at him.

“Know what?”

Nan Fangjue didn’t understand what she meant.

“I can sing, and I’m very good.”

Since she said so, it meant she had already made up her mind to go to the military art troupe.

“Really?”

Nan Fangjue was surprised again.

“Really.”

Wen Yanyan confirmed.

“Okay, I’ll ask around when I have time. Does the art troupe still have openings? Is your singing really that good?”

Nan Fangjue confirmed again.

“If I’m lying, I’m a puppy.”

She glanced at the little dog Qiuqiu in the nest; it was staring at Wen Yanyan with its small black eyes.

“Woof～”

Qiuqiu suddenly cried out.

“Haha, Qiuqiu, you know you’re a puppy, right?”

Wen Yanyan was amused; Qiuqiu was so cute.

The tense atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed.

Nan Fangjue’s expression softened. He looked at the time.

“I’m going to the army. Be careful at home. Heat up the leftover buns for breakfast. Is your leg okay?”

“It’s fine. What about your lunch?”

An accident had happened today; Wen Yanyan didn’t have time to cook.

“Don’t worry about it, the army canteen won’t close yet.”

Nan Fangjue said.

“Will you be back tonight?”

Wen Yanyan hadn’t forgotten what he said.

“Depends.”

Nan Fangjue left.

What kind of answer was that?

If he didn’t come back tonight, she wouldn’t cook dinner. She was in no mood after what happened today.

Sigh!

This was the man’s first anger after their marriage.

Before, the original owner was so unreasonable, making a fuss, and embarrassing herself everywhere, and he hadn’t gotten angry.

What did that mean?

It meant that Nan Fangjue had feelings for her and cared about her.

Seeing her injured, he even braved the rain to carry her to the infirmary. This showed that he was starting to care about her.

Wen Yanyan lay in bed, thinking about what had happened, touching her hot face.

Nan Fangjue was a contradictory man, both domineering and gentle, strong and considerate.

---

After Nan Fangjue left home, he looked up at the clear sky, letting out a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly…

He hadn’t expected that the woman in the arranged marriage his grandfather had set up was such a rich treasure.

Smart, cultured, bold, determined, stubborn, saying one thing and doing another, outwardly obedient but secretly disobedient.

And she could sing well?

Strange, how did she change so much? She was such a terrible person before.

Wen Yanyan was a mystery, unpredictable.

Nan Fangjue furrowed his brows, adjusted his military cap, and strode towards the army camp.

……

Army canteen.

He had just arrived at the food window when someone patted him on the shoulder.

“Nan Tuan, why are you so late? The canteen will close soon.”

Nan Fangjue turned around and found that Coach Xu Zhengjiang was looking at him with a smile.

“Coach Xu, aren’t you just here too?”

Xu Zhengjiang was the Coach of the army, Huang Shuyin’s husband.

His military rank was two levels higher than Nan Fangjue’s, at the same level as the division commander.

“I’ve already eaten. I was about to leave when I saw you. Come, let’s chat.”

Xu Zhengjiang had a square face, and his black square-framed glasses made him look even squarer.

But his smile was very amiable, which was also related to his job.

“Okay, please wait a moment.”

Nan Fangjue got two buns and a bowl of cabbage and pork stew and went to a corner of the canteen with Xu Zhengjiang.

They sat down face to face.

“How are you getting along with Wen Yanyan recently?” Xu Zhengjiang’s smile remained on his face.

“Fine.”

Nan Fangjue took a bite of the bun.

“Nan Tuan, haven’t you heard that Wen Yanyan saved my Mingming?”

Although they were in the same army, they didn’t see each other often.

Meeting in the canteen today was a coincidence.

“Mm.”

Nan Fangjue responded.

“Nan Tuan, you talk so little.”

Xu Zhengjiang patted his thigh regretfully. Nan Tuan was good in every way, but he didn’t like to talk.

“Coach Xu, you can just say what you want to say.”

Nan Fangjue didn’t like beating around the bush.

“Okay, I’ll be straight. Because Wen Yanyan has a kindness to my family, I want you to take care of her. Can you help her find something to do? Don’t let her sell chicken feet anymore. It’s so hard for a woman to do that.”

“How did you know about this?”

Nan Fangjue was surprised; he had only just found out.

“She used our bicycle to sell goods at the jade processing factory. How could I not know? Oh, I’m declaring beforehand, it’s definitely not because I’m worried about the bicycle. Don’t misunderstand.”

Xu Zhengjiang was afraid that he would misunderstand and quickly explained.

“My wife said that she’s been looking very thin recently, most likely because she’s tired. My wife also said she’s dieting, tired and dieting, her body will have problems if it goes on for too long.”

He was concerned.

“Coach Xu, I just found out she was doing this. I told her before, but she didn’t listen and secretly sold them.”

Since Coach Xu knew, Nan Fangjue opened up.

“I’ve already talked to her, and she agreed to stop. But she said she can’t stay at home, so I want to help her find a job.”

If he didn’t find a job for Wen Yanyan, she wouldn’t be honest.
