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

Chapter 144 A man’s mouth is a liar

Lu Cheng couldn't help but reach out and pat his wife's head twice. "What are you thinking about all day long with that little brain of yours?"

I miss you.

Lu Cheng couldn't suppress the smirk on his face, but he just affectionately pinched her cheek. "Let's eat. After we finish, I have to go back to the camp. These days, the soldiers have to attend a one-hour study session at noon. I can't keep missing it."

The tone of his explanation carried a subtle hint of guilt.

Heaven knows how much he longed to stay with his wife forever, and from then on, the emperor no longer held court in the mornings.

Hearing that he had serious business to attend to, Jiang Moli stopped joking around.

Opening the lunchbox, I was somewhat surprised to see what the lunch menu was like. "Stir-fried cured pork with mushrooms, are we having such a good meal today?"

Lu Cheng didn't explain further, "Try it and see how it tastes."

Jiang Moli ate a piece of matsutake mushroom.

The mushroom flesh is crisp, tender, and sweet, with a woody aroma.

"good."

Seeing that she was eating happily, Lu Cheng also picked up his lunchbox and started eating.

The cured meat my wife brought, and the mushrooms she picked, were so delicious.

good to eat.

……

After dinner in the evening, the couple went out together, which was a rare occurrence.

In the few days since she arrived, apart from the first evening when they went out together to the Zhong family for a welcome dinner, Jiang Moli has mostly stayed at the guesthouse.

Lu Cheng is busy with morning exercises and evening training every day, as well as handling official business. He also has to bring her three meals a day, making him busier than before.

It was nearly 7 o'clock, and the sun had already sunk below the horizon.

The sky transitioned from crimson to orange and then to light gray, a beautiful transition reminiscent of an oil painting.

A cool evening breeze gently caressed my cheeks, and the grass blades rustled softly in the breeze.

Looking at the man standing beside her, Jiang Moli extended a finger and hooked it into his palm:

Where are you taking me in the wild?

Lu Cheng squeezed her hand, then quickly let go.

In this day and age, Lu Cheng's act of pinching her hand was already considered outrageous.

Other couples would keep a distance of two steps when they go out.

"It's just ahead, almost there."

Following his words, Jiang Moli looked at the woods about 50 meters ahead and asked, "Going up the mountain? Are we going to play such wild games tonight?"

Lu Cheng cupped the top of her head with his palm and turned her face toward the family quarters: "This way."

Jiang Moli blinked: "Going to someone else's house? That would be exciting too."

Lu Cheng: “…”

Looking at her mischievous appearance, Lu Cheng felt both helpless and inexplicably found her adorable.

……

In the center of the residential area, there is a square platform, which used to be a place for villagers to gather and worship.

When Jiang Moli and Lu Cheng arrived, a number of family members had already gathered around the platform, seemingly preparing for a meeting.

Lu Cheng pulled Jiang Moli to a quiet place with few people and explained to her, "The school has been built. We'll gather the families together tonight to discuss the start of the school year."

Jiang Moli: "Then why did you call me here?"

She wasn't a military dependent, and she didn't have any children to go to school.

"You'll find out later."

Although I don't know what the man is trying to say, since I'm already here, there's no harm in taking a look.

There are so many people, it's so noisy.

I ate sweet potatoes for dinner, and my stomach is a little bloated.

Poof.

Unable to hold it in, she let out two loud farts. A woman next to her turned her head to look at her, her face full of disgust. "Can't you even go further away when you fart? Honestly!"

Jiang Moli glanced at the other person: "You should be grateful that I'm offering you a free smell, no charge."

The other person covered their mouth and nose, their face darkening. "I don't know what they ate, it stinks!" Jiang Moli said, "Don't be greedy, okay? You smelled it, but why do you want the recipe?"

"..."

"Disdain value +1, 10000 yuan credited."

When fortune comes, it's unstoppable. You can earn ten thousand dollars just by farting. Nobody would believe it if I told them.

"Does your stomach hurt?"

Seeing the man's concerned expression, even Jiang Moli, who had a thick skin, couldn't help but blush: "Hey, stay away from me, or you'll smell bad."

"It doesn't stink."

Jiang Moli found it amusing, "If it doesn't smell bad, does it smell good?"

Lu Cheng nodded: "What others put out smells bad, what you put out smells good."

"..."

A man's mouth, a liar.

……

The meeting was very simple, mainly about the class division and class schedule.

There are many children in the family quarters, but they vary in age and school age. With a limited number of teachers, it is not possible to offer classes from first to sixth grade. Therefore, classes are only offered for grades one, three, and five for the time being.

Tuition and textbook fees are waived, but students have to buy their own pencils, notebooks, and stationery, blah blah blah.

Jiang Moli listened with great boredom, not understanding why the man insisted on bringing her here. It had nothing to do with her, and there were so many mosquitoes that she had several large welts on the back of her foot.

Just as she was about to leave because she couldn't stand it anymore, Jiang Qing walked onto the stage.

"I am Jiang Qing. Today, in front of everyone, I want to clarify something. Jiang Moli did not force me to marry in her place. She only got together with Comrade Lu Cheng after the Zhang family took the initiative to break off the engagement. It was I who had malicious intentions, spreading rumors and slandering her. Here, I sincerely apologize to Jiang Moli. I'm sorry..."

On stage, Jiang Qing cried uncontrollably, while her family members below the stage erupted in uproar.

"Is it true or not? Are the rumors about her being forced into a marriage by a substitute bride and having her husband kidnapped just something she made up?"

"She admitted it herself, so how could it be false?"

"She usually seems so honest and kind, I never expected her to be this kind of person, she's so wicked! If we let her be a teacher, won't she corrupt the children too?"

Lu Cheng lowered his head and asked her, "Are you calmed down now?"

Jiang Moli turned her head to look at him, "Did you make Jiang Qing give a public apology?"

“Even the soldiers of the entire battalion know to protect you, my sister-in-law. As your husband, if I know someone is bullying my wife and I do nothing, what’s the difference between me and a piece of trash?”

A sweet feeling spread through my heart.

Although she doesn't care about her reputation, it feels really good to have someone backing her up.

She reached out and gently grasped the man's rough little finger.

Lu Cheng wrapped her small hand in his palm.

The light was dim and there were many people around at night, so no one noticed the intimate moment between the two.

For Jiang Qing on the stage, this self-criticism meeting was undoubtedly a public execution.

It's like being stripped naked and standing under the sun, despised and cursed by the world.

Her hard-earned reputation, her dignity, and her pride were all trampled and shattered.

Tears blurred her vision and her will.

She didn't understand the meaning of God giving her a second chance at life.

If she had known she would end up like this, she would have preferred to die far from home, at least she wouldn't have had to suffer such humiliation.

After the festivities ended, the family members dispersed in small groups.

Seeing Jiang Qing still standing on the stage, head bowed and sobbing, Lu Tingting ran up to her and mocked her, "What are you crying for? You act like someone bullied you. It's all your own fault. If I were you, I'd just hang myself with a noodle and save myself from embarrassment."

Jiang Qing raised her red and swollen, tearful eyes: "It's your third uncle who didn't investigate properly. What does it have to do with me? Why did you burn my study materials?"

What Lu Tingting burned was not just her study materials, but also her hopes.

She originally had the opportunity to go to university.

But all her materials and textbooks were burned, and her dream was shattered.

"You were secretly thrilled when I took the blame for you, weren't you? Now you're playing dumb and pretending to be innocent, but it's too late. We'll settle the score later!"
