Chapter 21

Any man who is cuckolded will be furious!!

Unless he’s not a man. No, even if he’s a eunuch, if he’s sharing a bed with a palace maid and she then finds a guard, even a eunuch who isn’t a real man will feel the shame of being cuckolded.

Now, the whole Chang Hong Brigade knows about Zhan Ai Guo’s big green hat. There are countless gossipmongers in the brigade. Within three days, the whole ten miles around Chang Hong Brigade, with the brigade as the center point, will know that Zhan Ai Guo’s wife slept with the brigade leader.

How could Zhan Ai Guo swallow this? Where would he put his face? From now on, he would have to walk with his head between his legs.

The more Zhan Ai Guo thought about it, the angrier he got. He suddenly stood up, picked up the flat stick, and started hitting Chen Ju Xiang.

The black and thin laborer had been doing farm work for years, his strength was like that of an ox. Zhan Ai Guo swung the flat stick, hitting Chen Ju Xiang again and again, cursing and spitting as he hit, “You stinking bitch, you did such a shameful thing, when you die, I won’t let you enter the ancestral grave of the Zhan family. Dirty woman. Ptui.”

Zhan Hongyan was afraid of being hit by the flat stick, so she quickly ran away. Chen Ju Xiang was beaten to the ground, wailing, looking pitiful.

Zhan Xinyue watched quietly, she didn’t feel any sympathy at all. She just thought Chen Ju Xiang deserved it, it was her retribution.

In her previous life, after Zhan Xinyue made money, she was initially very good to Chen Ju Xiang. At that time, Zhan Hongyan was already dead, and Zhan Xinyue was afraid that she would be sad, so she bought a villa for her and Zhan Ai Guo, giving them 50,000 yuan a month for their retirement.

But Chen Ju Xiang was insatiable, she actually set her sights on Xinyue Group, wanting Zhan Xinyue to give the entire group to her son, Zhan Hong Tu.

Zhan Xinyue wasn’t a brother-loving maniac, of course she wouldn’t agree. Chen Ju Xiang was so vicious that she used the money Zhan Xinyue gave her to find people to sabotage Zhan Xinyue’s car, causing her to die in a car accident.

Fortunately, Zhan Xinyue’s driver was cautious and experienced. As soon as he got in the car, he noticed something was wrong. He sent the car to the repair shop and found the person who did it through surveillance. Finally, he found the mastermind behind it, Chen Ju Xiang.

After learning the truth, Zhan Xinyue was shocked and heartbroken.

She knew that Chen Ju Xiang favored her son, but she didn’t expect her to actually try to kill her. Zhan Xinyue couldn’t understand, could parents really kill their own daughter?

Thinking about how she and the Zhan family didn’t look alike, Zhan Xinyue immediately did a paternity test and found out that she had no blood relationship with Zhan Ai Guo or Chen Ju Xiang.

In her previous life, after Zhan Xinyue got the paternity test results, she sent Chen Ju Xiang to prison and kicked Zhan Ai Guo and Zhan Hong Tu out of the villa, taking back everything she had given them.

Zhan Ai Guo was old, and Zhan Hong Tu was spoiled and couldn’t do anything. After being kicked out, they lived a poor and miserable life.

“Xinyue, should we go break it up?” Sheng Tunan stopped the car, seeing that Zhan Xinyue had been staring outside without saying anything, he thought she had softened her heart after seeing Chen Ju Xiang’s pitiful state.

“No, let’s go.” Zhan Xinyue turned her head, thinking coldly, “Let go of the urge to help others, respect other people’s cheap lives.”

Chen Ju Xiang deserved it. If she hadn’t helped Zhan Hongyan cover up, she wouldn’t have been beaten.

“Okay.” Sheng Tunan wouldn’t care either. In his previous life, Chen Ju Xiang had arranged for Zhan Xinyue to marry Li Jian before he came back, he hadn’t even settled the score with her, how could he possibly save her?

Sheng Tunan stepped on the gas pedal and drove towards the commune, leaving Chen Ju Xiang’s pitiful cries behind.

“Xinyue, I’m going back to the army the day after tomorrow. After I go back, I’ll submit the marriage report. It’ll be approved within a month at the latest. Then we can get our marriage certificate. Your household registration can be transferred to my place.”

Sheng Tunan thought about being able to marry his beloved soon, and his smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

“Okay.” Zhan Xinyue replied.

She had already torn off her household registration page. With the letter of severance, Zhan Xinyue wasn’t afraid that the Zhan family would cause trouble. Besides, Zhan Hongyan had a handle in her hands, she wouldn’t dare to bother her.

The commune was soon in sight. Sheng Tunan parked the car directly in front of the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative wasn’t big, there were only two salespersons. Seeing Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue get off the military jeep, their attitude improved significantly, and they came over to serve them with a smile.

“Comrade, what would you like to buy?”

“Buy three sets of clothes for my girlfriend.” Sheng Tunan replied, then asked Zhan Xinyue, “Xinyue, there aren’t many clothes here, why don’t we buy one of each style? Let me see, one, two, three, four, five, six, let’s buy all six sets.”

There were a total of six sets, including three bra dresses and three sets of pants and shirts. The pants were all the same, gray, blue, and army green, all with a side opening on the right. There were no zippers in this era, they were fastened with buttons, and there was a thin belt as a double insurance to prevent them from falling off.

“Just buy two sets.” Zhan Xinyue chose a long bra dress with a sky blue base and white flowers, simple and elegant, and a pair of army green trousers with a white shirt, clean and neat.

“En, next time I come back, I’ll take a marriage leave and take you to the department store to buy some.” Sheng Tunan respected Zhan Xinyue completely and didn’t persuade her to buy more.

The two salespersons looked at Zhan Xinyue with envy, thinking, if only they could find a boyfriend like Sheng Tunan.

Tall, handsome, and a military officer, he was the perfect husband material.

“Comrade, please pack them up. How much is it all?” Zhan Xinyue asked.

The two salespersons woke up from their daydreams. Seeing Zhan Xinyue’s face, which was more beautiful than the women in fashion magazines, they felt ashamed. A perfect husband deserved a woman like Zhan Xinyue!

Ready-made clothes didn’t require ration coupons, but they were more expensive. The salesperson quoted a price, “The bra dress is 12 yuan, the shirt is 7.5 yuan, and the trousers are 8.5 yuan, a total of 28 yuan.”

“Okay.” Sheng Tunan handed over the money.

Zhan Xinyue also picked out three sets of summer clothes for Grandma, and she also bought soap for bathing, toothpaste and toothbrushes, towels and washbasins, and soap.

Sheng Tunan chose assorted candies, milk candy, peanut cakes, lampwick cake, snow dates, shortbread, and ginger candy for Grandma and Zhan Xinyue to eat as snacks.

Sheng Tunan paid the money and ration coupons, and he and Zhan Xinyue walked out with their bags. As soon as they reached the car, they saw Zhang Lihua leaning against the car, fanning herself impatiently with a fan.

Seeing Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue come out with their bags, Zhang Lihua swallowed, and in a commanding tone, she said,

“Finally, you’re here, Xiao Sheng. The regiment leader’s wife, my daughter, asked me to tell you. She and Guagua are going back to the army today. Go to my house and pick them up now, hurry up.”

“Xiao Sheng, you bought so many snacks, are they for my Guagua? Give them to me, I’ll take them back.”

Zhang Lihua didn’t have a job, and although Dongfang Xiaoching married well, she wouldn’t give her much money. She rarely got to eat these cakes and candies, and when she saw that Sheng Tunan had bought so many, she was envious and greedy. She stretched out her two fat paws to grab them.
