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

Chapter 198 Jiang Qing's Work

"What happened this time?"

Zhang Jiaming wiped his eyes and choked up, saying, "Xiao Qing wants a divorce and wants to abort my child."

Lu Cheng couldn't help but think to himself, "Just as I suspected."

When Zhang Jiaming told him that something had happened at home, his first instinct was to guess that Jiang Qing had gotten into trouble again.

Although he was annoyed by Jiang Qing, he also looked down on Zhang Jiaming's pathetic behavior of being led by the nose by a woman.

But Zhang Jiaming was, after all, one of his soldiers. When he encountered difficulties, he, as the leader, could not stand idly by.

He called Zhang Jiaming to his office, and after learning the details of the incident, asked Zhang Jiaming:
"What are your own thoughts? Do you want a divorce?"

Zhang Jiaming almost shook his head off, "I don't want to get a divorce."

He finally managed to marry a wife who was pregnant with his child, and he was about to enjoy a warm and loving home with his wife and kids. Who would want a divorce?

Although Jiang Qing has made many mistakes, everyone makes mistakes, and he can't think about changing wives just because of that.

Knowing his attitude, Lu Cheng said, "You still have a few days of leave this year. Go back to your hometown and take care of your family matters."

Zhang Jiaming hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Lu Cheng understood: "I'll talk to the logistics department later and get you an advance of six months' allowance. Is that enough?"

Tears streamed down Zhang Jiaming's face. "That's enough, thank you, Battalion Commander!"

"Alright, that's enough. A real man doesn't shed tears, and crying is pathetic."

Although Lu Cheng scolded him verbally, he actually felt very empathetic for Zhang Jiaming's situation.

Back then, when his wife was making a scene about getting a divorce, he felt upset and depressed, as if the sky was about to fall.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but add a few more words, "Go back and have a good talk with your wife, listen to her grievances, women are still easy to coax."

Zhang Jiaming nodded emphatically.

……

After getting off work at noon, Jiang Dahai took his lunchbox to the cafeteria to get his food.

It was lunchtime, and there were many employees getting food in the canteen, with long queues at both windows.

Jiang Dahai had just joined a queue when Zhou Weiguang, who had already gotten his food, saw him and said with a smile, "Old Jiang, you're in for a treat from now on."

Jiang Dahai was baffled. "What good fortune could I possibly have to enjoy?"

Zhou Weiguang pointed to the food serving window and said, "Your Xiaoqing is getting food in the cafeteria now. From now on, how much you eat will be up to her."

Jiang Dahai was quite surprised to hear that Jiang Qing had entered the cafeteria.

When I got to the window, it really was her stepdaughter.

"Xiao Qing, what are you doing here? Are you working in the cafeteria?"

Jiang Qing, holding the serving spoon, asked in a businesslike tone, "What would you like to eat?"

Jiang Dahai ordered three ounces of mixed grain rice and two ounces of vegetarian green beans.

During lunch, Jiang Dahai's familiar colleagues in the workshop joked that he had arranged a good job for his stepdaughter, so she wouldn't have to worry about not having enough to eat anymore.

No matter how Jiang Dahai explained that he hadn't arranged Jiang Qing's job, no one believed him.

……

After finishing work, Jiang Qing prepared to go back to her residence for a midday rest.

Jiang Dahai stopped her at the entrance of the machinery factory. "Xiao Qing, where have you been staying these past few days? Are you doing alright?"

Jiang Qing said sarcastically, "You don't need to pretend to care about me. I don't need it."

Who arranged for you to work in the cafeteria?

"If you won't help me, someone else will."

Seeing that his stepdaughter was unwilling to talk, Jiang Dahai didn't waste any more words: "Try to go home and visit when you have time. Your mother misses you very much."

Watching Jiang Qing's departing figure, Jiang Dahai couldn't help but feel troubled.

My stepdaughter is so stubborn.

After get off work in the afternoon, Jiang Dahai waited for Zhou Weiguang to leave together, and took the opportunity to inquire about Jiang Qing's job in the cafeteria. Zhou Weiguang was the director of logistics, and the cafeteria was under the management of the logistics department.

“The original Xiao Zhu was pregnant and went home to give birth, so Engineer Yang recommended your stepdaughter to take her place.”

Zhou Weiguang looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What, you don't know about this? I thought you got involved through Director Yang's connections."

Yang Dong is Yang Zhigang's nephew.

Jiang Dahai shook his head. "I only found out about Xiao Qing working in the cafeteria today."

"Your stepdaughter is quite capable; she quietly accomplished something significant."

Zhou Weiguang smiled enigmatically, clearly not believing that this matter had nothing to do with Jiang Dahai.

With Jiang Dahai's current connections, arranging for his stepdaughter to work as a temporary worker in the cafeteria is nothing, let alone a permanent position.

However, Jiang Dahai was low-key and unwilling to use the Lu family's connections for personal gain.

The next day, Jiang Qing took some time to go back to the Jiang family home.

Li Hongying was overjoyed to see her. "Xiao Qing, where have you been these past few days? Your Uncle Jiang said you've started working at the factory?"

Jiang Qing said coldly, "I came back to get some clothes."

Li Hongying took out her luggage and watched her rummage through it to pack.

"I heard from your Uncle Jiang that your job was arranged by Engineer Yang. Why would Engineer Yang help you?"

Jiang Qing threw her clothes aside and said angrily, "What right do you have to investigate my affairs? I finally got a way out, do you want to destroy it too? Are you only satisfied when you drive me to my death?"

Li Hongying hurriedly said, "Your Uncle Jiang is concerned about you and is afraid that you will go astray."

Jiang Qing sneered, "How ridiculous! If you really cared about me, you wouldn't have kicked me out knowing I had nowhere to stay!"

"Your Uncle Jiang had no choice. This house belongs to Xiao Lu's work unit, so he can't make the decision."

"In the end, I'm just an outsider. Otherwise, why can he stay here and you can stay here, but I can't?"

Li Hongying was speechless when asked the question.

Jiang Qing chuckled coldly twice and continued packing her clothes.

Li Hongying hesitated before speaking, then asked, "Xiao Qing, tell me the truth, did you use your Uncle Jiang's and the Lu family's names to get Engineer Yang to arrange a job for you?"

Jiang Qing sneered, "I'm not like you, unable to live without the Jiang family!"

"Why would Engineer Yang arrange work for you out of the blue?"

"This is my own business, mind your own business."

Seeing that she wouldn't talk about it, Li Hongying could only inquire about the baby in her belly.

Upon learning that she hadn't eaten lunch, I rushed out to the hallway and cooked her a bowl of egg noodles.

……

After getting off work in the evening, Jiang Qing and Zhou Xiaoqing went to the night market together.

The night market only started this month. In addition to various food stalls, there are also factories clearing out their inventory. The prices are much more affordable than in the market, attracting a large number of citizens and making it very lively.

After walking around for a while, the two of them were both sweating profusely, so they found a cold shrimp stall to eat.

Midway through the meal, Zhou Xiaoqing had an upset stomach and needed to go to the toilet.

She bought a lot of trinkets, but it was inconvenient to carry them to the toilet, so she had Jiang Qing help her carry them.

"Give me your wallet too, or I might fall into the latrine."

Zhou Xiaoqing hesitated; she wasn't comfortable entrusting her wallet to someone else.

But worried that, as Jiang Qing had said, he might have accidentally fallen into a latrine, he still gave the wallet to Jiang Qing.

Watching Zhou Xiaoqing run into the restroom, Jiang Qing coldly curled her lips.

Under the cover of darkness, she quickly unzipped the inner compartment of Zhou Xiaoqing's wallet and put in a few pebbles the size of mung beans.

Zhou Xiaoqing returned very quickly.

After getting my wallet back, I took the opportunity to grab my handkerchief and checked the money inside. I was relieved to see that nothing was missing.
