Chapter 77

Lu Hongjun: “Stop talking nonsense and tell me! What did you do to find Zhou Tuan’s lover!”

“Lu Hongjun! You have no conscience. I gave birth to children for you…”

“Okay, you don’t want to live like this anymore? Divorce!”

The crying stopped abruptly.

Even Lu’s mother held her breath and looked at her son in disbelief.

Bai Yu felt at that instant that

the sky was falling.

She had no choice but to tell Lu Hongjun what had happened.

Omit the part about “Palace Jade Liquor”.

Finally, her voice was pleading: “Hongjun, I really wanted to make peace with her, so I took the initiative to go find her. I also brought brown sugar, which was saved by my confinement. It’s sincere enough to bring brown sugar to apologize in this famine year…”

“Come with me tomorrow and apologize to my sister-in-law.”

Bai Yu’s chest clenched, “Hongjun, you still don’t believe me.”

Lu Hongjun didn’t even look at her, and said to Lu’s mother: “Mom, look around the house for anything good.”

“Where are the good things at home? We need food everywhere. Even Xiaobao eats kudzu powder…”

“Okay, then I’ll take out half a month’s salary in advance and buy something good for Zhou Tuan and sister-in-law!”

Lu’s mother quickly changed her words: “Didn’t you make a new quilt of cotton before the New Year? It hasn’t been touched yet. Is this gift heavy enough?”

Lu Hongjun hesitated and nodded.

Mother Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Her son had always had his own ideas since he was young, and his fingers were wide open. If he took action, the gift would only be more valuable.

Thinking of this, Mother Lu glanced at Bai Yu with disgust again.

My son was smart all his life, but he was confused for just one moment! Marrying such a disaster.

Before going to bed at night, Qiao Yu told Zhou Ze’an what happened today.

During these months, although the two of them lay in the same bed, they did nothing.

First, Qiao Yu knew that this man was not good enough, so she treated him as a close sister in bed every night.

Secondly, Zhou Ze’an was not one to force her. Considering that she was determined to go to college, he thought that if she got pregnant during college, it would be detrimental to her academic career.

So even though Zhou Ze’an was able to move freely and take a bath with the children every night so that they no longer smelled, he did not dare to overstep his boundaries in the slightest.

Even with a wife, his life is almost the same as that of a monk named Qingshui.

I got used to it while sleeping.

Zhou Ze’an: “I will talk to Lu Hongjun alone tomorrow.”

“Is it okay? You are not in the same regiment.”

“Okay.”

Qiao Yu yawned, “I am too lazy to deal with her. It would be best if you could do it.”

As he spoke, he fell asleep.

In less than a moment, a light snoring sound was heard.

Zhou Ze’an: …

This wife falls asleep faster than the men in the army.

And snoring…

cute.

Zhou Ze’an turned sideways and observed her sleeping face in the moonlight before falling asleep.

On the second day, Lu Hongjun came to the door with a quilt of new cotton and the reluctant Bai Yu.

Along the way, whenever someone asked him something, Lu Hongjun would say, “My wife was rude and offended Sister-in-law Qiao. I’m bringing something to apologize.”

Offended? How did you offend?

Many people went to watch out of curiosity, but they didn’t know that as soon as Lu Hongjun entered the yard, Zhou Ze’an closed the gate.

Well, there’s no show to watch.

Zhou Ze’an still admires Lu Hongjun as a person.

Although they were both peasants, he was lucky and worked hard enough, so he climbed higher than Lu Hongjun.

Zhou Ze’an is very careful about the reputation of his comrades-in-arms, and he doesn’t want them to miss more opportunities because of the lack of stability in the rear.

For example, the matter of attending military school…

If it is not handled behind closed doors today, Lu Hongjun will have to face minor punishments.

Qiao Yu glanced at Zhou Ze’an and saw Bai Yu’s reluctant attitude again. She was mocking Bai Yu in her heart while twisting Zhou Ze’an’s waist hard.

“Hey, isn’t this the guy who came to my house yesterday and said something inexplicably about the palace… Oh, Comrade Bai Yubai who made the Palace Jade Liquor?”

Qiao Yu’s hands were quite strong. After mocking Bai Yu, he glared at Zhou Ze’an.

It seems to be saying: Look! You are so thoughtful! People come here reluctantly, is it worth it?

Lu Hongjun’s face froze.

Bai Yu is not honest! I didn’t tell him everything!

So when I came to apologize this time, the other party brought it up first, and I was still confused about the whole story, and I didn’t even know the reason and the whole process. Is there any meaning in this apology?

He finally began to feel that if he continued to live with Bai Yu, he would be dragged to death by her.

Bai Yu became angry and embarrassed: “Didn’t I give you the brown sugar? Why are you bringing this up?”

Qiao Yu: “That’s compensation for wasting my time. You want to keep me quiet? It’s too early.”

“How can you go back on your word? You go back on your promise?”

Qiao Yu sneered, “Think about it, did I promise you to keep me quiet yesterday?”

It seemed… not.

Bai Yu felt like she was being fooled.

Just as she was about to say something, Lu Hongjun interrupted her thoughts with a scolding: “Enough!”

“Hongjun…”

Lu Hongjun put the quilt of cotton on his back on the ground and bowed deeply to Zhou Tuan and the others, “Zhou Tuan, sister-in-law, it’s all my fault for not managing her well. I promise you here that if she comes to harass you again, I will do what I can, and if I can’t, I will divorce you.”

Bai Yu lost her voice: “Lu Hongjun!”

“Apologize!” He said sternly after standing up.

Bai Yu’s eyes were a little dazed.

That’s not the case.

Lu Hongjun shouldn’t be like this…

In his previous life, Lu Hongjun married a country woman in an arranged marriage.

That woman was nothing like Qiao Yu. Not only was she uneducated, she couldn’t even give birth to a son. But Lu Hongjun never gave up on that woman even after he became successful.

No matter how embarrassing it is to take that woman out, she is still the wife of an official.

Is she even worse than that woman?

Twice.

Lu Hongjun asked her for a divorce! twice!

Bai Yu bit her back teeth and said to Zhou Ze’an and the others, “I’m sorry…”

Lu Hongjun: “Be more sincere.”

Bai Yu was about to cry, “Tuan Zhou, sister-in-law, I’m sorry…”

Qiao Yu clicked her tongue, “Captain Lu, this matter is actually not a big deal, there’s no need to make such a grand ceremony. Fortunately, you are sensible, otherwise the water would be muddied. My husband and I have no objection to you, but if a soldier doesn’t manage the rear well, he will easily be dragged down…”

Bai Yu was shocked and secretly felt that the other party was mocking her.

The most terrifying thing is that Lu Hongjun might have taken such ridicule seriously.

Lu Hongjun mentioned divorce twice, and it was not just a casual remark.

Bai Yu always felt uneasy when she saw Qiao Yu, perhaps because she was the only change after her rebirth, which made her nervous. Many times, she lost her mind because of a few words from her.

Now calm down…

Is Qiao Yu reborn like me? It doesn’t matter anymore.

She must first maintain her precarious marriage.

As soon as Lu Hongjun and his wife left, Qiao Yu discussed the purpose of the quilt with Zhou Ze’an.

“Children grow fast, so there is no need to tear it down. Leave it for building houses for them later.”

Zhou Ze’an looked at her expression.

Qiao Yu was talking excitedly, and when she looked up, she met his gaze and was stunned for a moment, “What are you doing?”

“Aren’t you angry with me?”

Qiao Yu smiled, “Should I be angry with you? Tell me, how have you offended me?”

Zhou Ze’an pondered for a moment and said, “Shouldn’t I close the gate?”

Good man, you did it knowingly.
