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

Chapter 197 Respect the fate of others
An Hui said, "Your Aunt Wu and the others are preparing to discuss with the Liang family whether the marriage will be called off or not."

"If they're still willing to talk, then their desire to annul the engagement isn't strong."

An Hui was surprised by her insight and keenness. "So, do you think it's better to call off this engagement or not?"

Jiang Moli took a bite of tomato and scoffed, "What I said doesn't count."

Seeing that her mouth was covered in tomato stains from eating, An Hui subconsciously took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, saying, "Don't get your clothes dirty."

After she took the handkerchief, she continued talking about the marriage in the Chen family: "Your Aunt Wu is worried that Chen Xue is not young anymore. If the engagement is broken off, it will not look good, and it will be even harder for her to find someone in the future."

"If you don't call off the engagement, what's the difference between that and eating shit while holding your nose? You'll be disgusted for the rest of your life."

Anhui: “…”

Although the words are rough but the reasoning is sound, this is just too rough.

……

When Jiang Moli woke up from her afternoon nap, she heard the follow-up to the Chen family's wedding.

The wedding will proceed as planned, but the ceremony will be postponed to New Year's Day.

Liang Fei has already been dealt with by military law, yet the Chen family is still willing to arrange the marriage, which clearly means that the terms have been agreed upon.

Jiang Moli asked curiously, "How much dowry did the Liang family give?"

"Three turns and one sound, three gold items, a bride price of 1288, and the Liang family has also agreed to arrange a job for Chen Xue."

Putting men aside, these conditions are still quite tempting.

The parents of both Chen and Liang families reached a consensus, but Chen Xue, the person involved, was not willing to go through with the marriage.

Young women are bound to have high expectations and beautiful dreams about love and partners, so why would they be willing to marry a man who has been to prison?

Even if the other party comes from a military family and his father is a high-ranking general in the army.

But Chen Xue didn't dare to defy her family, so she could only privately cry to her girlfriends like Lu Tingting.

Lu Tingting, Song Ke, and Wu Meixia all felt sorry for Chen Xue.

After dinner, with nothing else to do, Jiang Moli followed An Hui and Ma Hongmei to learn how to knit.

Although she doesn't expect to knit sweaters herself, it's always good to have more skills.

Lu Tingting rushed over in a flurry, "Hey."

Jiang Moli glanced at her, "Secondly, I'm not called 'Hey,' I'm your third aunt."

Lu Tingting blinked, "Then what's number one?"

Jiang Moli pulled out a knitting needle and tapped her on the head. "My first thought was to beat you up."

Lu Tingting covered her head and glared at her, but unusually, she didn't lose her temper.

"Um, I have something to ask you."

"I don't know, I'm not sure, I don't understand."

Lu Tingting stomped her foot, "I haven't even asked yet!"

"Then don't ask anymore, anyway, you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth."

Lu Tingting didn't care about being called a dog by her, and sat down next to her, chattering about how Chen Xue didn't want to marry Liang Fei.

The volume was kept very low, clearly because he didn't want An Hui and Ma Hongmei to hear it.

"With so many bad ideas, you must have a way to help Chen Xue avoid marrying Liang Fei."

Jiang Moli raised an eyebrow. "Why should I help her?"

Lu Tingting said, "That Liang Fei is no good. He even dares to hit his superiors. How can Chen Xue have a good life if she marries him?"

"So, what does this have to do with me?"

"How can you have no compassion at all? Marrying a man like that will ruin Chen Xue's life!"

Distracted by Lu Tingting, Jiang Moli missed several stitches.

All I could do was unravel the yarn and start over, saying as I did so, "When you sympathize with someone, you bear their fate. If you pity them, you bear their karma. The best arrangement is to let flowers bloom, trees bear fruit, those who deserve to die die, and those who deserve to live live."

Lu Tingting's head was spinning. "What does that mean?"

"It means you should mind your own business. If Chen Xue doesn't want to marry, she can go against her family. What can she say to you? You're not her father or mother."

"You're just like my third uncle, a cold-blooded animal!"

After saying that, Lu Tingting stormed off.

Although the two women were speaking in hushed tones, An Hui wasn't deaf and managed to hear most of it. The third son's wife was indeed lazy and gluttonous, but she could also write scripts, act, and had even been recommended by the military region to join the performing arts troupe.

He has a sharp tongue and is quite sarcastic, but what he says unexpectedly can be quite reasonable.

He's a troublemaker, but also quick-witted and clever.

I used to find it repulsive, but now I love it no matter how I look at it.

It's like you think you've picked up a pile of dog poop, but after peeling away the poop, you find a rare and beautiful piece of jade inside!
……

Lu Tingting verbally berated Jiang Moli for being cold-blooded, but in the end, she did as Jiang Moli said and told Chen Xue to rebel against her family.

Unfortunately, Chen Xue did not have that kind of courage.

In response, Jiang Moli can only say: Put aside your desire to help others and respect their fate.

……

The days of waiting for news from the performing arts troupe were incredibly boring, and Jiang Moli resumed her habit of sleeping in late.

After all, waking up early doesn't create value.

In the morning, after Lu Dezhao left for work, An Hui and Ma Hongmei also went out.

The two are going to the temple to burn incense and eat vegetarian food today.

Jiang Moli had no interest in vegetarianism and was woken up by the ringing of the phone.

"Hey?"

Sensing the anger in her voice, Lu Cheng chuckled lightly, "Still not up? What time did you go to bed last night?"

Jiang Moli yawned, glanced at the clock on the wall, and snorted, "You don't sleep with me, so what do you care what time I go to sleep!"

Lu Cheng chuckled softly, his deep, husky voice tinged with a hint of doting: "Missed me? Want me to sleep with you?"

"I dare not think about it, all I see are mosaics."

"Mosaic? Who?"

Jiang Moli succinctly stated, "Some scenes that are not suitable for children."

Lu Cheng's voice lowered slightly: "Jasmine, I miss you too."

"Oh? How much do you want to? Describe it in eight hundred words."

Jiang Moli was just joking, but Lu Cheng took it seriously, saying, "When I'm busy, I wonder what you're doing at home; when I'm eating, I wonder if you've eaten, and what you've eaten..."

When Lu Cheng reached two hundred words, Jiang Moli called a halt.

"Okay, I got it. Are you done with your task?"

"Yes, it's a complete success. Several soldiers from the First Battalion have made outstanding contributions this time." Lu Cheng's voice carried a hint of joy.

Speaking of meritorious service, Jiang Moli inexplicably thought of Zhang Jiaming.

In the original story, Zhang Jiaming was promoted during this period.

"Hey, if Zhang Jiaming participates in the mission this time, will he also be credited?"

Lu Cheng said calmly, "Such assumptions are meaningless. No one can say for sure what the outcome will be if something hasn't happened yet."

This is true.

Lu Cheng: "How's everything at home? How are Mom and Dad's health?"

"That's good. Your dad's been exercising every day to lose weight lately..."

After chatting about family matters, Lu Cheng inquired about her interview with the performing arts troupe. Upon learning that she was still waiting for the results, he offered her a few words of comfort.

"It's getting cold at home, isn't it? I'll send you back with your allowance in a couple of days, so you can buy yourself some new clothes."

He paused, then added, "You don't need to save me money."

Jiang Moli said that she could easily fulfill this request.

After finishing the call, Lu Cheng prepared to return to the barracks to wash up.

Upon returning, he immediately called Jiang Moli to let her know he was safe after reporting his work, without even having time to go back to his dormitory to wash his face.

I ran into Zhang Jiaming as soon as I stepped out of the command post.

“Lu Ying, something happened at my home…” Zhang Jiaming said to him with red eyes.
