Chapter 9 Is your ex-wife dead?
Lu Shi nodded, “It seems that’s the case.
” Just now, her tears were like raindrops, but after figuring out the truth, Yang Niannian stopped crying. It wasn’t worth it. She sniffed, puffed out her cheeks, and glared at Lu Shi, “The logistics soldier you sent to help me move was also a liar. Your son is so big, but he said you’ve been single for twenty-six years. Who stays single for twenty-six years and has a five or six-year-old child?”
After ranting for a while, Yang Niannian felt a little better. Seeing that Lu Shi’s emotions were still stable, she asked fiercely, “When did you get divorced?” “I didn’t get divorced.” Yang Niannian’s anger subsided a little. She softened her tone and asked, “Did your ex-wife die?” “…” Lu Shi’s eyes twitched, “I don’t have an ex-wife.” Worried that Yang Niannian would ask another absurd question, he added, “An’an is my comrade’s child. Half a year ago, his father died in the line of duty, his mother went missing, and his grandparents passed away. I took him in to take care of him.
” So it was a case of a martyr leaving his child behind. An unmarried man was willing to raise his comrade’s son, which showed that he was a good person. Yang Niannian thought about how she had called him a stink bug and said he was bringing shame to the army.
She wished she could bite her tongue off. She was so ashamed that her face turned red. She regretted being so mean before, she should have asked first before scolding him. Seeing her cheeks getting redder, Lu Shi, who had never interacted with girls, thought she was angry.
After thinking for a moment, he said, “If you have a grudge against me because of this and don’t want to live together, I’ll send you to the station.” “Don’t keep saying you’ll send me to the station.
I didn’t say I wouldn’t live with you, did I?” Yang Niannian felt a little wronged, “I’m a twenty-year-old girl, and I suddenly have to be a stepmother to a child.
Is it abnormal to complain a little? We slept in the same bed last night. Who would believe that nothing happened? If we get divorced, I’ll be considered a second marriage in the eyes of the law.” “…” That was definitely true. Yang Niannian was willing to stay, and Lu Shi actually felt a sense of relief. He didn’t even realize it himself. Seeing that he wasn’t saying anything, Yang Niannian made a promise, “Don’t worry, for An’an’s sake, he’s a martyr’s biological son, I’ll treat him as my… my younger brother.
” She was only twenty years old, she couldn’t bring herself to treat An’an as her son. Lu Shi didn’t think there was anything wrong with that. They were both still crying ages, weren’t they siblings? “An’an doesn’t know his background.
He was only three years old the last time his father came back to see him.” Yang Niannian nodded, “I know. Let’s go eat, I’m hungry.” Lu An’an was almost finished with the food in his lunch box. Seeing Yang Niannian come out with red eyes, he thought she had been scolded by Lu Shi. He felt a little happy. Dad didn’t scold him, he scolded Yang Niannian, which meant he still loved him. The three of them ate quietly. Lu Shi took the lunch boxes to the kitchen to wash them.
Yang Niannian followed him to the kitchen door. She leaned against the doorframe and said, “We can’t rely on you to bring food back from the army all the time. I want to go to the city tomorrow to buy some kitchen supplies. I can cook for you guys at home.” “Okay.” Lu Shi, who was washing the dishes, agreed and didn’t say anything else. Yang Niannian looked at his back as he washed the lunch boxes.
She opened her mouth, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak. In her previous life, when she asked her parents for money, she would just act cute and she would get it.
Asking a man she had only known for two days for money; she was too embarrassed. What if Lu Shi refused? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing? No, she had to find a way to make money herself. After standing at the kitchen door for a while, Yang Niannian slowly walked back to the main room.
Lu An’an was a good boy. He finished his homework and was called out to play by the children in the family compound. Yang Niannian cleaned up the weeds in the yard and cleaned the kitchen. After working for over an hour, her abdomen suddenly started to ache.
She searched anxiously for a while before realizing that there was no toilet in the courtyard. She held her stomach and ran to the toilet downstairs in the building she had lived in before.
When she came out, she accidentally bumped into a military wife. “Who is it? Don’t you look where you’re going?” The military wife complained loudly. “Sorry.” Yang Niannian took a step back and stood firm. She looked up and saw the person she bumped into.
She felt a little familiar. Before she could recognize the military wife, the woman looked her up and down with disdain and asked, “What are you doing here?” Yang Niannian remembered, this was the woman who sat opposite her on the train. “I’m Lu Shi’s wife. Where else would I be?” The woman didn’t give her a good look, so Yang Niannian didn’t give her a good look either.
“You… you’re Commander Lu’s wife?” The woman looked doubtful, but her tone softened. Although her husband wasn’t in the same unit, he was indeed lower in rank than Lu Shi.
