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

Chapter 146 Encountering Kidnappers
As soon as I entered the residential area, I encountered a group of family members who were going out to work.

This time, Jiang Qing didn't try to be friendly with him in return, but instead walked straight over quietly.

However, behind them came sharp curses from the family members, "Pah, shameless! She stole her stepsister's man and now she's trying to frame her by throwing mud at her!"

“Her stepfather raised her and even paid for her education, but instead of being grateful, she goes around badmouthing him. She’s like a ingrate who eats from the bowl and then curses his mother. We should avoid her from now on to avoid getting any bad luck.”

"Yes."

Despite the bright sunshine overhead, Jiang Qing felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her blood freezing and her body shivering with cold.

She only criticized the spread of rumors, so how could everyone know that she stole Jiang Moli's boyfriend?
Was it Lu Tingting who spread it, or Jiang Moli?
Her nails dug into her palms, and never before had she wished these two people would disappear from the world as much as she did at this moment.

We arrived at Feng Meihua's home.

In the past, Feng Meihua would always greet her with a smile when she came, but today her attitude was clearly distant.

"Xiao Qing, you've come at the right time. I was just about to tell you that school is about to start, and there's a lot to do. I'll be taking a break from the work at the supply and marketing cooperative for now."

He glanced at his watch again, "Hey, I'm in a hurry to go to town to pick up the new teacher."

Jiang Qing quickly said, "Sister Feng, I'll go with you."

"No need, I asked Xiao Lu to come with me. It's not appropriate for too many people to go. You go and do your thing, okay?"

Jiang Qing forced a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll head back now."

As soon as Jiang Qing came out of Feng Meihua's house, her face immediately darkened.

During her time in the army, she tried to keep in touch with Feng Meihua and even collaborated with her on handicrafts.

Feng Meihua always took the lion's share, leaving her with only a pitiful amount as a reward, which she tolerated.

She thought that with their shared interests, Feng Meihua would remember their past relationship.

I never expected him to be such a snob who changes his mind faster than flipping through a book!
On the way back, I ran into Qiao Wenjing, who was carrying a first-aid kit.

Qiao Wenjing is a military doctor. In addition to daily training and learning about first aid, she also goes to the clinic every now and then to help family members and nearby villagers with minor ailments such as headaches and fevers.

"Wenjing, I don't have anything else to do today, let me go help you."

Although Jiang Qing doesn't understand medicine, she can help with chores like finding medicine and bandaging.

In the past, when Qiao Wenjing was too busy, she would ask Jiang Qing for help.

Today, however, he politely declined Jiang Qing's offer: "No need, the clinic is short-staffed today, I'll go first."

He left in a hurry after saying that.

"Wenjing!"

Turning her head to see Jiang Qing catching up, Qiao Wenjing asked somewhat displeasedly, "Is there anything else?"

Jiang Qing looked at her with reddened eyes, looking very sad: "Do you also look down on me and don't want to associate with me anymore?"

Seeing that her thoughts had been exposed, Qiao Wenjing stopped pretending: "Don't come looking for me for the time being. Now everyone knows what you did, and I don't want to be mistaken for someone like you."

Jiang Qing was furious. She thought Qiao Wenjing was a bad person. Was she really so upright and honest?
"Wenjing, do you think you're completely innocent? I treated you like a friend and told you everything, but what about you? If you hadn't spread my words, I wouldn't be in this situation today!"

Qiao Wenjing was furious at her accusation: "You lied yourself and then blamed me. Fine, we're done with each other from now on!"

Upon hearing that Qiao Wenjing wanted to break ties with her, Jiang Qing panicked.

Tears streamed down her face. "I'm sorry, Wenjing, I didn't mean to blame you. I'm like a rat in the street now. Everyone looks down on me, laughs at me, and curses me. I know I deserve it, and I regret what I did. But I was just momentarily blinded by greed and made a mistake. Does that mean I don't deserve to live a good life?"

Seeing her crying so hard, Qiao Wenjing couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

"Don't cry anymore. Try to stay home as much as possible these next few days. After a while, people will forget about it and stop talking about you."

Jiang Qing raised her eyes, which were red and swollen from crying, and asked, "Then are you still willing to be my friend?"

Seeing how pitiful she was, Qiao Wenjing hesitated for a moment but still agreed.

After watching her walk away, the sadness and fragility on Jiang Qing's face vanished completely. Although everyone disliked her now, as long as she controlled Qiao Wenjing, she wouldn't have to worry about making a comeback one day.

Although Qiao Wenjing's family background is not as good as Lu Tingting's, she has a regimental commander uncle.

And if she's not mistaken, Qiao Wenjing's uncle will soon be promoted to deputy brigade commander.

In her past life, after her death, her ghost followed Jiang Moli and heard Zhang Jiaming mention Brigade Commander Song.

She inquired and found that the 77th Brigade, where her unit was currently stationed, did not have a brigade commander with the surname Song.

The only regimental commander was surnamed Song, named Song Xueli, who happened to be Qiao Wenjing's uncle.

……

Upon arriving in town, Lu Tingting made an excuse that she had a stomachache and needed to use the restroom, and arranged to meet Feng Meihua at the place where the oxcart was being transported.

After watching Feng Meihua walk away in the direction of the commune, Lu Tingting turned around and ran to the snack shop selling potato cakes.

She didn't come to town to pick someone up; she came to buy some delicious food.

The oxcart was bumpy and sunny, making it extremely uncomfortable to ride in. She wouldn't bother coming if it weren't for a meal.

During the days I ate at Feng Meihua's house, I wasn't hungry, but I didn't get a decent meal either.

The potato cakes, fried until golden brown and crispy in soybean oil, are seasoned with salt, Sichuan peppercorn powder, and chopped green onions—they smell absolutely delicious!
Lu Tingting bought ten in one go, and while eating them, she went to look at other things.

I bought all sorts of things: cold rice dumplings, rice cakes, and wild honey. Before long, I was carrying a huge pile of stuff.

Perhaps seeing her generosity, an old woman wearing a straw hat greeted her, "Young lady, I have some fried dried fish here, do you want some?"

Lu Tingting leaned closer to take a look and saw small fish, about the size of her little finger, deep-fried until golden brown and crispy, making her mouth water just looking at them.

How much does it cost?

"Try it first, and if you like it, then you can buy it."

Seeing the dried fish handed to her, Lu Tingting couldn't resist taking one.

It's fragrant and crispy, even the fish bones are fried until crispy.

good to eat!

"How much? I'll take it all."

"Someone has already ordered my dried fish, but I still have some at home. Come with me to get it; it's not far. Let's go."

As he spoke, he grabbed her wrist.

Lu Tingting didn't want to go, but her mind seemed to have lost its judgment as she followed the old lady.

"Girl, I bet you're from out of town. Look at your fair and delicate face, you're so pretty."

Lu Tingting's head was spinning, and the old lady's smiling face was blurring before her eyes.

For some reason, Jiang Moli's fierce face popped into her mind.

—Are you a reincarnated starving ghost? Didn't you eat anything good in your past life?
"Didn't your teacher teach you that unsolicited kindness is either a sham or a theft?"

—You dare to eat anything you don't even recognize, aren't you afraid someone will poison you to death, you little bastard!

A white figure walked past me, and the smell of mentholatum wafted into my nostrils.

As if a sliver of clarity had been injected into her muddled mind, Lu Tingting suddenly shook off the old woman and lunged at the white figure with all her might.

Through the blur, she saw a man's bewildered face.

"help me……"
