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

Chapter 192 Grandpa
Yang Dong led Jiang Qing to a large courtyard in the northeast corner of the machinery factory's residential area.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, it was practically a small shantytown.

The not-so-spacious courtyard was so crowded with all sorts of illegal structures that there was almost no room to stand.

Yang Dong led Jiang Qing to one of the sheds and opened the door with a key.

“This house used to be where my grandmother lived. It’s been empty since she passed away. You can tidy it up yourself; it’s still livable.”

"it is good."

After settling the matter of accommodation, Yang Dong brought up work again, saying, "I'll inquire about it for you and let you know when I have any news."

"Thank you for your help, Engineer Yang."

After giving her the key, Yang Dong left first.

Jiang Qing looked around the room.

The entire house was built with scrap wood and sheet metal, and was about 5 square meters in size. It contained only a single bed and a set of old tables and chairs.

Although it was simple, at least we had a place to live.

After cleaning the house, Jiang Qing locked the door and returned to the military family compound.

When I got to the entrance of the family quarters, I ran into Zhou Xiaoqing, who was getting off her early shift.

"Jiang Qing, didn't you go to the army? When did you come back?"

"I just got back a few days ago."

Jiang Qing was in a hurry to go back to the military family compound to get her luggage and didn't really want to talk to Zhou Xiaoqing.

Zhou Xiaoqing, however, pulled her along with unusual enthusiasm: "You promised to introduce me to a soldier, right? You still keep your word, don't you?"

Jiang Qing was impatient and casually replied, "I've already asked Zhang Jiaming to help you find someone. I'll let you know when there's a suitable candidate."

"When will that be? You should pay more attention. You've all gotten married, but I'm still single. My mom nags me every day."

Seeing Jiang Qing's gaze fall on her, Zhou Xiaoqing couldn't help but tug at her clothes with a smug look.

"This dress is new, made a few days ago, it's made of polyester-cotton blend, isn't it beautiful?"

Looking at Zhou Xiaoqing's beaming face, Jiang Qing couldn't help but feel a surge of intense hatred.

If it weren't for that treacherous Zhou Xiaoqing causing her to lose her job, she wouldn't have needed to get married to escape being sent to the countryside, and she wouldn't be in this situation today.

……

Jiang Qing returned to the military family compound.

Seeing her return, Li Hongying finally felt relieved after a day of worry. "Where did you go?"

Jiang Qing packed her things without looking up. "I've found a place to stay. I'll take some of my luggage there for now, and leave the rest here. I'll come back for it later."

Li Hongying was very surprised.

These days, finding a place to live is no easier than finding a job.

"Where is the place you've found to stay? I'll go with you to take a look."

"Need not."

"I don't even know where you live, how am I supposed to find you?"

Jiang Qing snorted coldly: "No need. You can enjoy your good life. Whether I live or die is none of your business."

"What are you saying? If I don't care about you, who will..."

As they were talking, the door was opened from the outside.

Seeing Jiang Dahai return from get off work, Li Hongying quickly wiped away her tears, "Why are you off work so early today? I'll cook right away."

Jiang Dahai looked at Jiang Qing and the luggage on the ground, "What is this...?"

"Don't worry, I'll leave right away and won't stay here."

With a cold sneer, Jiang Qing picked up her packed luggage and got up to leave.

Jiang Dahai stopped her, "It's lunchtime, eat before you go."

"No need, I don't need this food." Jiang Dahai didn't force him. "It's fine if you don't want to eat. Let's just say a few words. Xiao Qing, marriage is not a game. Jiaming's mother may have made some mistakes, but Jiaming is a reliable person. It's Jiaming who will be with you for the rest of your life. Don't do something you'll regret because of a moment of impulse."

Jiang Qing sneered, "What were you doing when the Zhang family bullied and humiliated me? Did you say a single word in my defense? I finally escaped, and here you are spouting high-sounding principles. Aren't you hypocritical?"

Jiang Dahai frowned upon noticing Jiang Qing's hostile attitude towards him.

Although my stepdaughter has been a bit quiet since she was little, she is still someone who listens to advice.

But now it has become extreme and incomprehensible.

"Xiao Qing, you're an adult now. You should take responsibility for the mistakes you've made. Jiaming's father was beaten blind in one eye because of your letter. Don't you feel any remorse?"

Jiang Qing's laughter became even more sarcastic: "If Jiang Moli had been the one who married Zhang Jiaming, would you have stood by and watched the Zhang family treat her so badly? You hypocritical scoundrel, you say you treat me like your daughter, but do you treat me even a tenth as well as you treat Jiang Moli?"

Li Hongying couldn't stand it anymore, "Xiao Qing, your Uncle Jiang has been good to you enough!"

"From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Moli has caused countless troubles and messes, yet everyone has always been tolerant and forgiving of her. I only made this one mistake, and you're all fixated on it and refuse to help me. Is this what you call being good to me? Forget it, I don't care!"

After saying that, Jiang Qing picked up her luggage and left.

"Xiao Qing." Li Hongying instinctively chased after her.

Jiang Dahai sat down on the sofa with a gloomy expression, reflecting on whether he had really been too harsh and indifferent to his stepdaughter.

Put yourself in their shoes; imagine if the Lu family treated their daughter this way.

He was determined to get justice for his daughter, even if it cost him his life.

As a stepfather, he may have really failed in his duty.

After a long while, Li Hongying returned alone with red eyes.

Did she say where she would be staying that night?

Li Hongying shook her head, "She won't say. I don't know how this child turned out this way."

Jiang Dahai sighed, "Over the years, I have indeed neglected her, which has caused her to harbor resentment."

Li Hongying wiped away her tears, "You've been good enough to us, mother and daughter. It's just that she's never satisfied and always wants to compare herself to Jasmine."

……

After dinner, Jiang Dahai went to the military compound and told Jiang Moli about Jiang Qing's insistence on getting a divorce.

Jiang Moli still admired Jiang Qing's ability to take action.

Jiang Dahai considered for a moment and said, "Should you call the military and have Xiao Lu talk to Jiaming about this?"

"What's there to say? Lu Cheng is busy lately and doesn't have time to meddle in other people's business. Besides, if I pass on the message and she changes her mind and doesn't want to leave again tomorrow, wouldn't I be acting like a petty person for nothing?"

Jiang Dahai felt that his daughter made sense, so he stopped mentioning the matter.

"So, how are things going between you and Xiao Lu?"

Which aspect are you asking about?

Jiang Dahai looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Jiang Moli teased, "Dad, do you want to hold your grandson too?"

When his thoughts were exposed, Jiang Dahai didn't deny it, "Of course I want to, who doesn't want to hold their grandson?"

Jiang Moli laughed, "You should have said so earlier! Do you prefer a grandson or a granddaughter?"

I love both my grandchildren.

"Okay, from now on I'll call you grandpa, and you can treat me like your granddaughter. If that's not enough, Jiang Peng can call you grandpa too, then you'll have both a grandson and a granddaughter, aren't you happy?"

Jiang Dahai: “…”

……

Jiang Qing returned to her residence in the factory's residential area, made her bed, took out the steamed buns she had bought on the way to fill her stomach, and then took out a pen and paper to write a letter to Zhang Jiaming.

　Only one chapter left to update tomorrow at noon. I'm also on my period and have a toothache, it's really awful.
