Chapter 4: When Did This Airhead Become So Industrious?

Wen Yanyan blinked. “I gave it to him,” she said confidently. She definitely gave it to him.

Gave it to him?

She really gave it to him?

Zhang Meimei took a step back, seriously observing Wen Yanyan, her expression complex.

If she gave him the medicine, then why did she have the leisure to go up the mountain?

Would Nan Jue, that man of distinct likes and dislikes, who hated injustice and despised her immensely, easily forgive her?

Earlier, she had deliberately taken a stroll around the military dependents’ compound, even passing by the gossip hub, but she hadn’t heard any gossip. Coupled with Yanyan’s answer just now, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

“Yes.”

Although it was only a short minute, Wen Yanyan had thought a lot.

Zhang Meimei was the original owner’s most trusted person. Since she had married here, she had always been close to Zhang Meimei.

As Zhang Meimei had said, the women in the family compound were a tough bunch, liking to bully outsiders. The children of military families were the same—they bullied the weak and feared the strong. There was once a female military dependent who was bullied to the point of suicide by hanging!

Therefore, you must be strong if you’re new here, otherwise, they will bully you to death! They’ll even shit on your neck!

It was Zhang Meimei who complained that day about the terrible food in the canteen, saying it was bland and unappetizing, that she couldn’t eat it. That’s why she, in a moment of impulsiveness, stole her neighbor’s chicken, cooked it, and gave it to Zhang Meimei to eat.

Also, the stolen apples, radishes, and roasted potatoes… those little things, she also gave them to Meimei, just to please her.

Because she thought Zhang Meimei was exceptionally good, worked very diligently, was exceptionally smart, and was gentle and considerate. She was the best person, the best friend, she had ever met in her life.

In the past, the original owner would have been incredibly grateful to Zhang Meimei for the medicine and the clever plan.

But now, it seems, this matter isn’t that simple.

Because she also remembered that every time Zhang Meimei looked at Nan Jue, her gaze was special, shy yet with an undeniable infatuation.

But at the time, she hadn’t thought about it that way.

Now, Wen Yanyan suspected that Zhang Meimei had a secret crush on Nan Jue and harbored ill intentions.

Whether she truly coveted Nan Jue, she only needed to test it.

“So… what… what happened between you two?”

Zhang Meimei stared intently at her face.

“As you think, we were together last night.”

Wen Yanyan used this to her advantage, her chubby face unflustered.

“Ah? Really… really together? Yanyan, you’re not lying to me?”

She started to stammer, her face alternating between pale and green.

Wen Yanyan smiled slightly.

“Why would I lie to you? We are husband and wife~ Being together is normal, isn’t it?”

Looking at Zhang Meimei’s face, which was like a colorful palette of emotions, and her clenched fist hanging by her side,

She was certain.

Zhang Meimei wasn’t that kind. Giving them medicine to consummate their marriage was not kind.

And not just this time.

During this period, her actions were deliberately guiding the original owner, making her behavior deviate further and further from social norms, ultimately turning her into a hated woman.

The goal was to make Nan Jue increasingly disgusted with her, until he could no longer bear it and divorced her, so she would have a chance.

Zhang Meimei’s previous verbal provocations and psychological suggestions towards the original owner were childish. Only this trick of giving medicine was the most vicious.

Because with the original owner’s usual evil deeds and rough appearance, Nan Jue was already doing well just barely maintaining their marriage and not divorcing her.

She even incited the original owner to use beauty tactics on him, giving him medicine, forcing herself on him—wasn’t this suicidal?

And the original owner, foolishly believing she was a confidante, obediently followed her instructions!

Could the original owner be any more stupid?

“That… that’s great.”

Zhang Meimei’s voice had a faint tremor. “Congratulations, Yanyan.”

While her mouth spoke congratulations, her heart was bleeding.

AAAAH!

How is this possible!

Nan Jue is a battle-hardened soldier! His willpower must be stronger than ordinary people. How could he not resist the medicine?

Because the medicine she gave Yanyan was based on Nan Jue’s weight. While it would have an effect, it wouldn’t make him lose control. As long as he didn’t want to, Wen Yanyan would absolutely not achieve her goal.

All morning, she had been waiting for this airhead to come to her to complain!

But she didn’t.

So, she couldn’t sit still, and she was absent-minded all morning.

But is what she said true?

Could this stupid airhead be deliberately lying to her? Does she even have the brains to deceive her?

Zhang Meimei was doubtful.

“Meimei, I really want to thank you this time. I’ll go home now. I need to quickly take care of the wild vegetables I just dug up.”

Wen Yanyan finished speaking and left.

Huh?

Wild vegetables?

Zhang Meimei stood there dumbfounded, looking at her broad back and the basket of wild vegetables… she felt something was wrong.

When did this airhead become so hardworking, and even know wild vegetables and mushrooms?

She grew up in the city, after all.

Suddenly.

“Meimei!”

A man’s voice, getting closer, interrupted her thoughts.

Zhang Meimei looked up and saw a tall, thin soldier walking towards her, waving.

Hmm?

Liu Xiaoguang?

A touch of annoyance arose in her heart, but a sweet smile appeared on her fair face.

“Xiaoguang ge, you’re here.”

This man was the second son of Commander Liu from the military region, a platoon leader.

Although his family background was good,

in terms of personal ability, he was far inferior to Nan Jue—a sparrow compared to a phoenix.

Although Nan Jue’s background wasn’t as good as Liu Xiaoguang’s, his military achievements and prestige meant his future was limitless.

Moreover, his physique, appearance, and personal charm were far superior.

“Meimei, why are you talking to that stupid woman again? Didn’t I tell you to stay away from her?”

Liu Xiaoguang leaned in and lowered his voice, his tone low.

“Who I talk to is none of your business!” Zhang Meimei was unhappy, her face tight.

“No, that’s not what I meant, Meimei. It’s embarrassing for you to be friends with her. She’s stupid and clumsy, lazy and gluttonous, unreasonable, and quarrelsome. The day before yesterday, she caused a scene at the army again, making a fool of herself. She’s been embarrassing Nan Tuan lately. I’m doing this for your own good.”

Liu Xiaoguang kept smiling apologetically.

“Mind your own business.”

Zhang Meimei turned and left.

“Why are you angry again, Meimei?” Liu Xiaoguang followed, trying to hold her hand, but she slapped his hand away.

“Don’t touch me.”

…

Wen Yanyan, not far away, turned around and saw this scene, a faint smile playing on her lips as she turned and quickened her pace.

…

She remembered this man, Liu Xiaoguang. He liked Nurse Zhang and had been pursuing her.

But Zhang Meimei’s attitude towards him was always hot and cold, very unstable.

Based on her current way of thinking, Zhang Meimei was deliberately stringing him along, keeping him as a backup. Her ambitions were high!

Humph!

Dare to covet Nan Jue? Dream on! Even if she doesn’t want him, she won’t let you, this green tea bitch, have him!
