Chapter 14

It was already eight o’clock in the evening when the banquet ended.

Except for the groom who was drunk, everyone else only drank a symbolic amount.

After all, discipline is there, and as soldiers, they may accept orders and carry out tasks at any time.

Being drunk is a big taboo!

Yu Ruyan supported Dong Zhange and walked back.

A bright moon hangs on the treetops, and the ground is filled with cool silvery moonlight. The night breeze in late spring carries the fragrance of flowers and plants, which is very pleasant.

“Are you…interested in Yu Changfeng?”

When they were almost at the gate of the compound, Dong Zhange suddenly looked up and, as if playing a trick, trapped Yu Ruyan between the tree trunk and his chest.

The sudden tree bang made Yu Ruyan a little confused.

“I’m telling you, I’m really jealous today. Why are you staring at him? He’s just a little paler, a little more delicate, and a little effeminate. How can he be better than me?”

Dong Zhange is much taller than Yu Ruyan.

His chin rested on the top of her head, and a muffled voice came from above, making Yu Ruyan feel a little amused and helpless.

What is going on?

Are you jealous?

In this situation, Yu Ruyan’s face was facing Dong Zhange’s neck.

In the darkness of the night, the rising and falling Adam’s apple was right in front of her eyes, and if she moved forward a little, her lips could even touch it.

Tsk, a man’s sexiness is not only about his looks and figure, but also his Adam’s apple.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Hey, Yu Ruyan, you have to express your opinion, or I’ll really get angry!”

Without waiting for Yu Ruyan’s explanation, Dong Zhange became a little angry and anxious.

“I haven’t figured out what to say yet!”

Yu Ruyan answered helplessly.

What could she say? Say she was a modern person who had been reborn? Say Yu Changfeng was her biological father in her previous life?

Listen! Everybody, listen!

Who would believe this? I’m afraid she’ll be sent to a mental hospital for treatment in a matter of minutes!

“Do I need to think about this? Just say that this is all a misunderstanding. You are my wife, and I am the only one in your eyes and heart. You don’t have any thoughts about Yu Changfeng!”

Dong Zhange was so anxious that he jumped up and down. He held Yu Ruyan’s face and forced her to look up at her.

“Are you stupid? Do you need me to teach you this?”

The dog man’s grip was quite strong, and Yu Ruyan felt that her face was deformed.

She broke free and said helplessly: “Well, you are my heart, you are my liver, you are three-quarters of my life!”

These words made Dong Zhange grin.

But the next second he felt that he could not forgive Yu Ruyan so easily.

Then he snorted again and said, “I don’t believe it! You must be trying to fool me. Look at your expression, you’re so reluctant… Aaaaaa!”

Before she could finish her words, Yu Ruyan could no longer bear it and raised her hand to pinch Dong Zhange’s waist.

“I have to explain, no matter how hard I try, Dong Zhange, are you done yet?”

Dong Zhange’s face was distorted by the pain caused by his wife pinching the skin on his waist.

“I was wrong, I was wrong. I forgive you. I’m not jealous anymore!”

Damn it! He was the deputy battalion commander, but he suffered domestic violence on the second day after his marriage. His life was so miserable!

Yu Ruyan knew when to quit.

She loosened her hand and rubbed Dong Zhange’s waist twice, which was hurt by the twisting. It was a typical case of giving a slap and then a candy.

“Don’t worry, I will never get entangled with other men during our marriage. Even if I fall in love with someone else, I will divorce you first!”

Well, her bottom line is not to let her husband become a cuckold.

Love can be chaotic, but character cannot be chaotic!

Dong Zhange happily answered “Okay”, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

“No, what do you mean you like someone else and want to divorce me?”

Trapping Yu Ruyan again, Dong Zhange looked down at her and said, “It’s not impossible for you to be with another man, but you can’t divorce me. I have to sacrifice myself!”

“If I die in the future, you can always remarry and take all our property with you!”

He looked at Yu Ruyan sternly and said, “Three generations of our Dong family have served in the army. Since my grandfather, we have established a rule that if a man dies on the battlefield, his wife is not required to remain faithful to him, and half of the family property will be given to him.”

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan’s heart suddenly trembled.

The original owner’s memories suddenly came back to her, and she finally understood why the original owner was able to easily get half of the Dong family’s property.

It wasn’t Wang Dafen’s greed or the original owner’s stupidity, but the Dong family had already established the rule of treating their daughters-in-law well.

Before this, she had been secretly mocking the Dong family’s overflowing kindness, but she had not expected such a hidden secret.

The Dong family is broad-minded, benevolent and righteous, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

She is lucky to marry into such a family.

“What nonsense are you talking about! You are a cuckold, and your life is tough!”

Pushing Dong Zhange away, Yu Ruyan’s eyes were slightly flustered.

No, she has to think carefully and see how to help Dong Zhange escape that disaster!

The two were arguing when they heard a woman crying from the door not far away.

Yu Ruyan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wang Dafen kneeling at the gate of the busy military compound, blocking Gu Yueting who was returning home from get off work.

“Mother-in-law, I really have no other choice, so I shamelessly come to you!”

Wang Dafen was crying with tears and snot, and there was no trace of the domineering attitude she had when she abused Yu Ruyan before.

“My family is poor and can barely afford to eat. Please be kind and help us out for once!”

Seeing people from the military compound passing by, Wang Dafen cried even louder and shouted even more miserably.

“No matter what, we are relatives. If you don’t help me, you are forcing me to die!”

Gu Yueting was a little flustered and at a loss.

She wanted to help Wang Dafen up and say that they had something to discuss, but the woman seemed to have taken root in the ground and would not get up no matter how she pulled.

The neighbors all stared, and even the sentry ate the melon out of the corner of his eye.

How could Gu Yueting, who has always been very concerned about her reputation and abided by the rules, withstand this?

She had no other choice but to ask, “How can we help? Do you think fifty dollars is enough?”

In modern society, buying two cups of “Succulent Grape” costs fifty-six yuan, but in the late 1980s, the average worker’s monthly salary was only fifty or sixty yuan.

Fifty dollars is not a small amount!

Wang Dafen rolled her eyes and lay on the ground, crying breathlessly.

“Fifty yuan is not enough! My whole family, young and old, needs food to eat. Without a hundred or eighty yuan a month, we can’t even survive!”

A neighbor watching the fun on the side said, “Yueting, even for the sake of our daughter-in-law, we can’t be so heartless. Just give her one or two hundred!”

Yes, for the Dong family, one or two hundred is nothing.

But the problem is not how much money is, but that the crying woman in front of him may be a bottomless pit that can never be filled.

Give it to me, but I’m afraid that if this precedent is set, it will be hard to get rid of it in the future.

If I don’t give it to her, it will hurt Yu Ruyan’s reputation.

Just when Gu Yueting was in a dilemma, Yu Ruyan strode over, grabbed Wang Dafen’s arm and dragged her aside.

“Zhan Ge, go back with Mom first, I’ll take care of this!”
