Chapter 56

The beaten Gu Qinglao dared not cause any more trouble and didn’t bother Jiang Muning anymore.

Furthermore, Jiang Muning usually stayed at home or went out to do tasks in the deserted island space, rarely interacting with the military wives in the military dependents’ compound, so her days were peaceful and uneventful.

As the weather gradually became hotter, Jiang Muning was unwilling to continue sleeping in.

She got up at around eight in the morning.

Today, she wanted to go to the army.

In the original book, the original owner called the army several times, but Qin Muye never answered the phone, which indirectly led to the tragedy later.

But since the original owner was Qin Muye’s white moonlight, he should have been happy to receive the phone call, not avoid it.

Even if he was really on a mission, he couldn’t be on a mission every time.

So she suspected that something had happened.

Therefore, she wanted to find out the truth, and also give the original owner an explanation.

Today, she was going to the army’s communication room to investigate.

She took out the new floral dress from the wardrobe, tied her long hair into a ponytail, put on her white leather shoes, and walked out of the room.

She had already told Qin Muye last night that she was going to the communication room to call home, so when she arrived at the gate of the military district, she saw Liu Liancheng standing there waiting for her.

“Comrade Liu, why are you here?”

“Sister-in-law, you’re here, the boss said you were going to the communication room to call home today, and you only know me in our regiment, so he asked me to wait for you here.” Liu Liancheng said enthusiastically.

Jiang Muning heard this and said gratefully: “Then I’ll trouble Comrade Liu.”

“You’re the boss’s wife, which makes you my sister-in-law, don’t be polite.” Liu Liancheng said with a silly smile.

Liu Liancheng was about twenty-two years old, he was a little dark, but he was warm and generous.

Jiang Muning followed behind him, and they walked towards the communication room together.

As they walked into the communication room, the few people in the office turned to look at her.

“Who is this girl, she’s so beautiful.”

Liu Liancheng walked forward, came to a rotary phone, and said with a smile: “Comrade Xiaotao, this is Captain Qin’s wife, she’s calling home today.”

With that, Liu Liancheng took out the written application that Qin Muye had submitted to his superiors, and it had been approved.

Hearing that it was Captain Qin’s wife, the girl named Xiaotao’s eyes flashed with surprise, then she said: “Okay.”

Liu Liancheng looked at Jiang Muning and said with a smile: “Sister-in-law, I’ll go get busy then.”

“Okay, thank you, Comrade Liu.” Jiang Muning said with a smile in her eyes.

After Liu Liancheng left, Jiang Muning walked forward and smiled at Xiaotao, but she saw that the latter just glanced at her indifferently.

Jiang Muning pretended not to notice, she dialed the number, after the phone connected, she started talking: “Hello, is this the village chief? This is Muning…”

While she was talking, Jiang Muning paid attention to the reactions of the people in the office.

She noticed that most of her colleagues didn’t have any strange reactions to her visit, but Xiaotao, who was sitting next to her, had a hint of disdain in her eyes.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Muning ended the call. She turned to Xiaotao and said politely: “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Xiaotao replied coldly and perfunctorily.

Jiang Muning smiled faintly and walked out of the office.

After walking out of the gate, Jiang Muning didn’t leave directly, but wanted to sneakily listen to see if they were talking about her behind her back.

And they were.

“Captain Qin’s wife is really beautiful, fair skin, beautiful features, you can’t tell she’s from the countryside at all.”

“Yeah, she looks like a city girl, she’s also very elegant.”

“What’s the point of looking like that, she’s still from the countryside. I think she’s just putting on an act, she’s so flamboyant in the countryside, who knows what her relationships are like, she was forced to marry him, Captain Qin is really unlucky.”

The sour tone, Jiang Muning secretly glanced over, and sure enough, it was Xiaotao.

The disdain in her eyes was undisguised, clearly she didn’t take Jiang Muning seriously at all.

“She doesn’t seem like that, she’s a pretty well-behaved girl.” Someone said disapprovingly.

“You can’t judge a book by its cover, the captain is such an excellent person, but he has to marry a country bumpkin, how sad.” Xiaotao said angrily, “I heard that she threatened to kill herself, otherwise Captain Qin wouldn’t have married her.”

Jiang Muning was surprised: How come she didn’t know about this plot?

“Really?” Several people asked gossipingly.

“Absolutely true, someone told me.” Xiaotao said seriously, “Otherwise, Captain Qin would have had better options, Doctor Gu is beautiful, has a good personality, and a good family background, she’s a perfect match for Captain Qin.”

“That’s true.”

Jiang Muning listened to their conversation, and her suspicion of Xiaotao deepened.

Without making a scene, Jiang Muning left calmly.

As she passed the training ground, a deep voice sounded: “Muning.”

Jiang Muning stopped, looking at Qin Muye who was jogging towards her.

“Did you finish calling?” Qin Muye asked with concern.

“Yeah.” Jiang Muning lowered her eyes, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Muye took her hand.

“Mom just said that Dad accidentally broke his leg while working in the fields a few days ago, I’m a little worried.” Jiang Muning sighed softly.

Just now on the phone, Li Cuilan had briefly mentioned that he had broken his leg, but she didn’t elaborate.

“Then how about I ask my mom to go take a look?” Qin Muye asked.

“Forget it, my mother-in-law gets angry when she sees my parents.” Jiang Muning changed the subject and asked, “Brother Muye, if I hadn’t come to join the army this time, and I stayed in my hometown. If I called you, would you answer?”

Hearing this, Qin Muye answered confidently: “Of course I would.”

It was his wife’s call, he would be eagerly waiting for it, of course he would answer.

Hearing his answer, Jiang Muning thought for a moment, then raised a smile, “Alright, I’ll go back and cook.”

“How about we eat in the canteen at noon?”

“It’s okay, there’s still time.” After saying this, Jiang Muning smiled and waved at him, then walked straight ahead.

Qin Muye looked at her back, he vaguely felt that she seemed to have something on her mind.

At night, Jiang Muning thought about this matter.

“How can I find out who’s the one who’s causing trouble?” Jiang Muning rested her chin on her hand and thought carefully.

As she thought, Jiang Muning had an idea: “If the plot repeats itself, give them a chance, she should take action.”

But what excuse should she use to leave Qin Muye? She also had to get his permission.

Thinking and thinking, a mischievous glint flashed in Jiang Muning’s eyes.

At night, in bed, Qin Muye was in the middle of a passionate battle, like a tireless ox, sweating profusely as he plowed the field.

Jiang Muning’s cheeks flushed red, as she moaned softly, she slowly said: “Brother Muye, I want to go back to my hometown.”
