Chapter 107: How Do You Feel When I Wipe Your Face?
Xu Canlan would be out tomorrow.
Li Guozhu was very dissatisfied with her and had ignored her these days.
Xu Canlan felt resentful and thought it would be best if Xiong Qi came to her at this time.
After listening to Yi Ci’s arrangements, Xu Weilan gave a thumbs up. “Second brother, I’m sorry to trouble you with these things.”
Yi Ci replied, “We are a family, so let’s talk about this. By the way, don’t forget the date of the wedding banquet. Remember to bring Brother Yan to attend on time.”
“Okay!” Xu Weilan affirmed.
After Yi Ci left, Xu Weilan decided to take a nap.
When she woke up, Jiang Hao had arrived. Since the three sisters hadn’t seen each other for a long time, Xu Nian and Xu Qian had decided to take a nap on her bed, and they had a lot to catch up on.
Upon entering the room, Jiang Hao saw Xu Weilan and respectfully called out, “Sister-in-law.”
Xu Weilan asked, “Are you off today?”
“Yeah,” Jiang Hao replied.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that Xu Weilan’s gaze was sharp, and there was an aura of authority about her that made him feel somewhat oppressed.
Xu Weilan sneered, “Come here and talk.”
She had seen what happened earlier, and there was no way she would stay out of it and let Xu Qian get hurt.
Jiang Hao followed Xu Weilan to the yard, where they sat under a tree with tea.
Xu Weilan poured him a cup and asked, “Did you know that Qi Lu asked the organization to introduce you to her?”
Jiang Hao nodded. “I know a little.”
“Then were you in such a hurry to confess your feelings to Qian because of this?”
Jiang Hao thought it over and shook his head, “No.”
“Then why didn’t you avoid suspicion and approach her when you knew she had feelings for you? What would others think if you said it yourself? What would Qian think if she heard about it?
Don’t assume that she is kind and easy to bully, and then take advantage of her. Ask us if we agree or not!”
As she spoke, Xu Nian suddenly appeared, “I was wondering why Sister Lan looked so strange today! Turns out it was because of this! Captain Jiang!
What do you mean? Are you two-timing and enjoying the admiration of women? Or do you think you are very charming?”
Jiang Hao stood up nervously, looking between Xu Nian and Xu Weilan. He opened his mouth to explain, but his thoughts were jumbled.
After a long struggle, he finally managed to squeeze out a few words, “Sister, things are really not what you think. I was pulled over temporarily. Besides, I wasn’t the only one helping with the move; there were other comrades. Also, Comrade Qi Lu didn’t know I had a partner, so she made this request to the organization.
After I told her I had a partner, she never asked again. It’s all misunderstandings, really, sister-in-law; things are not that complicated.”
It seemed all men liked to simplify things rather than complicate them.
Xu Weilan looked at Jiang Hao, slightly curling her lips. She took a sip of tea and said, “Even so, what if? People’s gossip is scary! Or do you think Xu Qian can’t hear the gossip at home?”
Jiang Hao shook his head, very anxious.
Xu Nian snorted, “I saw everything today. You were very diligent in moving things for that woman! Jiang Hao, I’m warning you!
My sister is not someone you can toy with! If you can’t be clean with women, don’t mess with my sister! Otherwise, I’ll skin you alive!”
Jiang Hao immediately raised his hand and promised, “Okay, I promise you! I will keep my distance from Comrade Qi Lu in the future. I will never let this happen again.”
There was some disappointment in Xu Weilan’s eyes. He was not worthy of Qian. But she couldn’t simply break up the couple like that.
Xu Nian glanced at the bedroom worriedly and glared at him irritably. “It’s of no use! What you did will always be seen by someone, and there will always be people spreading it outside!”
Xu Weilan’s eyes turned colder as she asked, “How do you feel when she wiped your sweat?”
Xu Nian hadn’t seen this scene, and upon hearing Xu Weilan’s words, she exploded like a firecracker. She jumped up and punched Jiang Hao.
Caught off guard, Jiang Hao had no time to dodge and was hit hard by Xu Nian. He staggered but managed to stabilize himself.
Xu Weilan looked around the room and gave Xu Nian a light glare, signaling her to control her temper.
Xu Nian was unwilling and glared at Jiang Hao fiercely as if she wanted to cut him into pieces.
Jiang Hao couldn’t raise his head and didn’t dare to sit down. Xu Weilan’s presence was overwhelming, making him feel like he couldn’t breathe.
Seeing that Jiang Hao didn’t explain himself, Xu Weilan smiled coldly. “Tell me how you plan to deal with this? Qian is our precious baby. We will never let her suffer any grievances.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Nian raised her fist again.
In terms of skills, Xu Nian was no match for Jiang Hao, but her strength was undeniable, and Jiang Hao was still recovering from the punch.
Jiang Hao nervously adjusted the corner of his clothes. After thinking it over, he finally said, “I’ll explain this matter clearly to Qian first, so she won’t hear any unpleasant rumors and have wild thoughts.”
Xu Weilan considered this for a moment and said, “Well, then you handle it. This is your last chance.”
Jiang Hao nodded nervously.
After their discussion, Xu Qian got up and smiled when she saw Jiang Hao. “Brother Jiang, you are here! Come in and sit down. Is it hot?”
Jiang Hao shook his head. “It’s not hot. I was having tea with Sister Lan and Sister Nian.”
Xu Qian went into the house and cut up a watermelon.
The four of them sat together under the tree, and Xu Qian would glance at Jiang Hao shyly, her heart and eyes filled with admiration for him.
In fact, Jiang Hao was quite outstanding tall, handsome, and not low in rank. It was no surprise that Xu Qian liked him.
Xu Nian couldn’t bear it anymore and stood up suddenly. “I’m leaving. You guys chat.”
Xu Weilan also stood up. “I won’t disturb you.”
Xu Qian felt embarrassed and looked at the two departing figures. “What’s wrong with Sister Lan and Sister Nian? They’re acting so weird.”
Jiang Hao looked at their backs and sighed lightly. “Qian, I have something to tell you.”
Xu Qian nodded. “You talk; I’m listening.”
While she embroidered insoles, Jiang Hao took a deep breath and began, “There is a sister named Qi Lu in our military region.
Her husband died before. When the organization resettled her later, she asked the organization to help her find a partner.
At that time, she didn’t know I already had a partner, so she mentioned me.”
“Qian, don’t get me wrong. She used to be my sister, and now she is a soldier’s widow. I have nothing but respect for her and no other thoughts. I’m taking a day off today.
I wanted to come see you this morning, but our deputy battalion commander had a stomachache and promised to help Sister Qi move.
There was no one around for a while, so I went over to help her. In my eyes, she has always been my sister, and I respect and honor her.
If you hear any unpleasant words, you must not let your imagination run wild.”
Xu Qian couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s not a big deal; why are you so nervous?
Her lover was a soldier who sacrificed his life for his country.
You respect her and honor her, and so do I.”
