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

Chapter 203 Acting Bravely
At the entrance of the military family compound.

Seeing his daughter and son-in-law walking towards him side by side, Jiang Dahai's mouth stretched from ear to ear with joy.

Before the couple even got close, he eagerly went to greet them.

"Xiao Lu."

"Dad, how are you feeling?"

"Hey, everything's fine. Your Aunt Hongying has already cooked the dishes. Let's go home and eat and chat."

"it is good."

It was dinnertime, and every household was cooking in front of their own doors.

Lu Cheng, standing at 1.88 meters tall, looked dashing in his cadre uniform, drawing stares from his family members.

"That must be Jiang Gong's son-in-law. He has quite the bearing."

"I heard he's a battalion commander!"

"Wow, he's a battalion commander at such a young age, he's incredibly capable!"

……

Tonight, the Jiang family's dinner table is more lavish than during the Chinese New Year.

Twice-cooked pork, cold chicken salad, pan-fried tofu, scrambled eggs, and three or four vegetarian dishes.

This shows just how much Jiang Dahai likes his son-in-law, Lu Cheng.

"Xiao Lu, eat up, don't be shy. I just made some simple home-style dishes, please don't mind them."

"It's great, it's all my favorite food, thank you Aunt Hongying for your hard work."

Li Hongying quickly waved her hand: "Xiao Lu, you're too kind. You guys eat first, I'll make some soup."

Lu Cheng said, "Sit down and eat together. There are enough dishes for us."

"It's okay, I'll be quick, you guys eat first."

At Jiang Dahai's invitation, Lu Cheng picked up his chopsticks, first placing a piece of chicken leg meat into Jiang Moli's bowl before eating it himself.

Jiang Dahai was overjoyed as he watched.

He went to get the wine and glasses, and chatted with Lu Cheng while drinking.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Lu Cheng and Jiang Moli made an appointment with Jiang Dahai to return to Lizigou to pay respects to their ancestors the day after tomorrow.

Jiang Dahai saw the two off out of the compound before returning home.

As soon as I entered, I saw Li Hongying sitting on a stool, secretly shedding tears.

Seeing him return, Li Hongying quickly wiped away her tears and got up to get busy.

"There's a lot of food left over, and we can't finish it all. Why don't you pick out some of the better dishes and send some over to Xiaoqing?"

Hearing him say that, Li Hongying's tears, which she had been holding back, began to fall again.

Seeing her stepdaughter and son-in-law looking so loving and happy at the dinner table, she couldn't help but miss her own daughter.

The thought of my daughter getting married and then divorced, and becoming homeless, makes me incredibly sad.

"I'll clean up that table when I get back."

Jiang Dahai nodded, put his hands behind his back, and went back to his room to rest.

……

Looking at the delicious meat and vegetables in the lunchbox, Jiang Qing couldn't help but scoff, "What's the occasion? You're eating so well today?"

"Xiao Lu is back."

Upon hearing that Lu Cheng had returned to Rongcheng, Jiang Qing's face darkened.

"Why did he come back?"

"He said he was on vacation and was going to Lizigou to pay respects to his ancestors the day after tomorrow, and also to meet with the Jiang family relatives. He wasn't there when we had our wedding banquet, so I haven't met any of the Jiang family relatives yet."

Hearing that Lu Cheng was going to accompany Jiang Moli back to her hometown, Jiang Qing felt even more gloomy.

Given the gossipy nature of the people of Lizigou, it's inevitable that they would compare her to Jiang Moli.

She couldn't understand how someone as outstanding as Lu Cheng, with his family background, abilities, and intelligence, could be so infatuated with someone like Jiang Moli.

"Xiao Qing, how have you been lately?"

"Can't die."

Looking at her gloomy and gaunt face, Li Hongying couldn't help but wipe away her tears, "Why do you have to get a divorce? Jiaming is such a good person..."

Jiang Qing interrupted her impatiently: "We're already divorced. Instead of crying, why don't you think of a way to help me!"

Li Hongying looked at her with teary eyes, "How can I help you?"

"The college entrance examination has been reinstated, and I want to take the exam." However, you can't just apply for the college entrance examination whenever you want; you need proof of your place of residence and your household registration booklet.

If Jiang Dahai doesn't agree, she really won't be able to register.

The next day, after breakfast, Lu Cheng and Jiang Moli went out together by bicycle.

As a new son-in-law, it's his first time visiting his wife's family in her hometown, and he naturally needs to observe proper etiquette.

When I arrived at the department store and parked my bicycle, a commotion suddenly broke out in front of me.

Amid screams and shouts, many citizens rushed towards the scene, their faces filled with panic.

Lu Cheng stopped a passerby and asked, "Comrade, what happened up ahead?"

Upon seeing Lu Cheng in military uniform, the man cried out in panic, "Murder! There's a madman with a knife, slashing at anyone he sees!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than two shrill screams came from ahead.

The man shuddered in fright, pushed Lu Cheng aside, and ran away.

Lu Cheng and Jiang Moli both instinctively looked in the direction of the screams.

Fifty meters ahead, a middle-aged man wearing a white vest was wielding a gleaming kitchen knife, indiscriminately hacking at passersby.

Jiang Moli was so shocked to see a young man being slashed down and blood splattered all over the ground that her legs went weak.

She had never seen anything like this in both her lives combined.

"Jasmine, you should find somewhere to hide first."

Watching Lu Cheng's tall figure run towards the assailant, Jiang Moli's heart leaped into her throat.

"Lu Cheng!"

Lu Cheng turned around and shouted "It's okay" to her, then continued rushing towards the assailant without hesitation.

Amidst the fleeing crowd, the man's tall and upright figure stood like an arrow shooting upstream.

Courageous and fearless!

At that moment, Jiang Moli truly realized the mission and responsibility that the military profession bestows upon men.

"Haha, all of you die! Don't expect a single one to live!"

"They won't let me live in peace, so even if I die, I'll take a few of them with me!"

The assailant screamed wildly as he swung a kitchen knife at a seven or eight-year-old girl.

The little girl was so frightened that she burst into tears and collapsed to the ground.

This scene terrified everyone present.

Lu Cheng's eyes narrowed sharply. He rushed to the assailant, grabbed the hand holding the knife with one hand, and kicked the assailant hard in the back of the knee.

The assailant was kicked to his knees, and Lu Cheng took the kitchen knife from his hand.

He tried to resist, but Lu Cheng grabbed the back of his neck and pinned him to the ground.

Just then, police officers from the local police station arrived at the scene.

Seeing that the assailant had been subdued, they quickly took out handcuffs and handcuffed him.

"Comrade, thank you for your courageous act."

The police officers from the local police station shook hands with Lu Cheng to express their gratitude.

Lu Cheng nodded. "It's only right. Everyone is in the same boat. Protecting the people is our duty."

The rescued little girl's mother also brought her daughter to Lu Cheng and said, "Thank you for saving my daughter, Xiao Juan. Quickly say thank you to the People's Liberation Army uncle."

"Thank you, thank you, Liberation Army, Uncle."

The little girl was clearly still shaken, and her words of thanks were fragmented.

"It's alright. No matter what difficulties or dangers you encounter, the police officers and the People's Liberation Army officers will protect you."

After comforting the little girl, Lu Cheng suddenly remembered his wife and looked around.

Seeing Jiang Moli standing safely in the crowd, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting away from the crowd, Jiang Moli couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "You were pretty handsome just now."

For Lu Cheng, who had survived countless gunfights, subduing a criminal was nothing.

But being praised by his own wife made him feel very happy.

"How handsome is he?"

Jiang Moli glanced at him and said, "He's so handsome I want to spread my legs."
