Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 139 Buy some for your daughter to try.

Before Lu Cheng could process the food vendor's words, "Keep an eye on your daughter," he heard his wife give the vendor a thumbs-up.
"Big sister, you have a really good eye."

After saying that, she winked mischievously at Lu Cheng, "Dad, can you buy me some pineapple rice?"

A kind-hearted citizen said, "It's rare for me to come to the city, so I'll buy some for my daughter to try. Their pineapple rice is the best in the whole city!"

"Look how much your daughter wants it, just buy it for her, it won't cost much."

He keeps calling her "daughter" over and over again; if he doesn't act like a father today, it'll be hard to get out of this mess.

After buying the pineapple fried rice and returning home, Lu Cheng glanced at Jiang Moli, who was eating it as she walked, and couldn't help but snort:
"Am I that old? How could you mistake me for your father?"

Jiang Moli touched her face. "Is it possible that I just look young?"

"Yeah, it does look quite young."

The man was clearly not referring to her age, which displeased Jiang Moli. "You think she's too young? But you didn't seem to mind when you were kissing her."

Lu Cheng looked around, her ears turning red, and only when she saw that no one was paying attention to them did she regain her composure, but she didn't dare to bring up the topic again.

“Is the food delicious?”

Jiang Moli scooped a spoonful of food into his mouth with a bamboo spoon.

"How about it?"

"not bad."

Lu Cheng told her to wait where she was, and went back to buy five more portions to treat his comrades who had come out with him that day.

Jiang Moli carried Qiao Wenjing's portion over.

Lu Cheng's invitation to dinner was well-intentioned, but he was afraid that Qiao Wenjing would be presumptuous and make a fool of herself.

"Pineapple rice costs three meal tickets, or could you make me some ham and mushroom stew when you get back? I really want to eat that."

Qiao Wenjing was so angry that she took out a meal ticket and threw it at her.

Jiang Moli happily accepted it.

……

After selling the mushrooms, they went to the market to buy supplies needed by the troops. Then they went to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic they often cooperated with and exchanged the herbs for medicines such as Forsythia Detoxification Pills, Panax Notoginseng Wound Medicine Tablets, Hemostatic Herbal Powder, and Heatstroke Prevention Packs.

The troops need a large quantity of medicine, and the amount of medicine exchanged is far from enough, so they have to spend more money to buy more.

While Qiao Wenjing was negotiating the quantity and price of medicines with the museum owner, Jiang Moli talked to Lu Cheng about the upcoming itinerary.

"Are you going back after buying the medicine?"

Lu Cheng said, "Not so fast. After finishing things here, we still need to go to the liaison office to get medicine and supplies. Would you like to eat at the liaison office for lunch, or go out to eat?"

Jiang Moli thought for a moment, "Let's go out to eat, and buy some local specialties while we're at it. We can't have come all this way for nothing."

Lu Cheng rubbed her head and said, "It's not like you won't have a chance to come again. I'll bring you anytime you want to come."

Jiang Moli smiled faintly and remained silent, turning around to look at the various medicinal herbs in the glass display case.

Upon arriving at the office, Jiang Moli borrowed a phone to call back the machinery factory.

"Jasmine, is that really you? Where are you now?"

Hearing the familiar yet joyful voice on the other end of the phone, Jiang Moli couldn't help but smile. "Dad, you're so excited, you must have missed me?"

"I don't miss you at all. I don't know how peaceful it is without you."

Upon learning that Jiang Moli had come to the city with Lu Cheng on business and was using a government phone, Jiang Dahai didn't dare to chat for long. He gave her a few words of advice and then hung up.

Jiang Moli called the Lu family again.

An Hui answered the phone, and when he heard her clear, sweet voice, he couldn't help but smile.

"Mom, I'm going to buy some local specialties later and send them back to you and Dad. Remember to pick them up then."

An Hui said she didn't need it, but she felt warm inside.

At her age, she no longer cares about her children's abilities and success, but rather needs to be remembered and cared for.

"When are you coming back? I'll have Xiaoguang pick you up at the station."

"Mom, I know you miss me, but please be patient. I'll try to get back to be with you as soon as possible..." Lu Cheng was right next to her and took the phone when he heard Jiang Moli's words.

"Mom, please take good care of yourself. Someone here is waiting to use the phone. We'll talk next time."

He hung up the phone immediately after saying that.

Jiang Moli glanced at him and said, "Hey, I haven't finished yet."

"Tell me what you want to say, and I'll pass it on for you next time."

Lu Cheng put his arm around her and walked out to prevent An Hui from calling him.

They all had ill intentions and wanted to break him up with his wife.

Really.

……

Among the medicines were a batch of penicillin and serum, both of which require low-temperature storage. The daytime temperature was too high, so the return trip was scheduled for the evening.

Since it was a rare opportunity to go to the city, Lu Cheng gave the soldiers of the motor transport company and Qiao Wenjing a half-day off.

The three soldiers from the motor transport company went out happily.

Qiao Wenjing insisted on going with Jiang Moli and Lu Cheng, citing the reason that it was unsafe for a woman to be out alone.

The three of them went to the tea market first.

Xili City has a long history of tea culture, with dozens of varieties of tea, each with different years and grades, which dazzled Jiang Moli.

In the end, I chose Pu'er tea, white tea, and Menghai tea.

After buying tea, I went on to buy dried fruit, Dai brocade, and Dai medicine.

The shopping spree cost five or six hundred yuan.

Even though Qiao Wenjing came from a well-off family, she was stunned by Jiang Moli's extravagant spending habits.

At the same time, he secretly agreed with Jiang Qing's statement.

Jiang Moli was just vain and married Lu Cheng for money.

Seeing Lu Cheng following Jiang Moli like a servant, carrying large and small bags, and not uttering a word about Jiang Moli's unrestrained spending, Qiao Wenjing felt extremely sorry for him.

Even if he doesn't choose an outstanding and ambitious young woman like her, he should at least find a woman who truly loves him, understands him, cares for him, and is considerate of him.

If it were her, she wouldn't be willing to spend the money he earned with his blood and sweat.

……

Jiang Moli divided all the local specialties she bought into two portions, sending one portion to the Lu family and one portion to the Jiang family.

As I left the post office, I saw that they were selling jackfruit.

Jiang Moli quite liked jackfruit, and said to Lu Cheng, "Let's buy a jackfruit."

"it is good."

Lu Cheng agreed readily, but Qiao Wenjing couldn't stand it anymore.

“Jiang Moli, you’ve already spent so much money today, haven’t you had enough? Every penny you spend is earned by Lu Ying with his blood and sweat. You spend half a year’s allowance without batting an eye. Doesn’t your conscience hurt? Have you ever considered even a fraction of Lu Ying’s hardships?”

Jiang Moli laughed, "Look at you, anyone who didn't know better would think I'm spending your money. If I don't spend my husband's money, do you expect me to leave it for you to spend?"

Qiao Wenjing knew she couldn't win the argument, so she turned to look at Lu Cheng.

“Lu Ying, I know I shouldn’t interfere in your family affairs, but I just can’t stand by and watch.”

Lu Cheng said, "Dr. Qiao, since you know you shouldn't get involved, then don't. If you can't stand it, you can close your eyes."

Qiao Wenjing clearly couldn't accept that her good intentions were being ignored.

Her eyes reddened with anger as she pointed at Jiang Moli: "This woman, she's only after your money. She's already engaged, but she seduced you and even had Jiang Qing take her place in the marriage so she could marry you. She's a vicious and selfish person. What is it about her that makes her so attractive to you?"

Lu Cheng's face darkened. "Dr. Qiao, Jasmine and I are a lawfully wedded couple, arranged by our parents and a matchmaker. The talk of kidnapping and substitute marriage is utter nonsense!"

Qiao Wenjing said angrily, "You don't need to defend Jiang Moli in front of me. Jiang Qing told me this herself. Would Jiang Qing lie to me about something like this?"
