Chapter 247 Mud can’t hold up the wall
Lu Dezhao was amused by Jiang Moli's optimistic tone, and his worries were relieved.

After learning about this last night, he wanted to talk to Jiang Moli to offer some advice, but it was inconvenient at night, so he had to put his mind to it until today.

Noticing that Jiang Moli's face was a little pale, Lu Dezhao asked with concern, "Didn't you sleep well last night? Are you cold?"

The Minor Snow solar term has passed, and the weather is getting colder day by day.

This trip has been tiring, and if you catch a chill at night, you're likely to catch a cold.

Jiang Moli's head was indeed a little dizzy, but it was due to a hangover and motion sickness.

The roads were in poor condition back then, and the bumpy ride nearly broke Jiang Moli's bones.

"It's alright. Dad's concern is better than any elixir. Dad, how are you? You must have missed home after being away for so many days."

Lu Dezhao cleared his throat. "It's been gloomy these past few days. I wonder if your mother's old back pain has flared up. Usually, when I'm around, I can massage it for her."

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "If you miss your mom, just call her. Don't keep it to yourself."

Lu Dezhao wanted to call home.

But he called home again today after just yesterday. His wife will probably nag him for wasting phone bills.

When he calls back later, he'll say it was his third son's wife who made the call, and his wife won't nag him anymore.

Hey.

The members of the cultural troupe were all surprised and envious as they watched Jiang Moli and Lu Dezhao chatting and laughing, getting along so well.

They had often heard rumors about Political Commissar Lu Dezhao, who was known for his bad temper and stubbornness.

I thought that with a high-ranking father-in-law like that, Jiang Moli must be living a life of constant anxiety.

Unexpectedly, Lu Dezhao was so approachable in front of his daughter-in-law.

Especially the two members of the group who shared a room with Jiang Moli last night. Last night, they witnessed Deputy Regiment Commander Yang taking care of Jiang Moli like a younger sister. Today, they also saw the leader's father-in-law caring for Jiang Moli like a daughter.

That's such a wonderful life!

The county guesthouse was far inferior to the city guesthouse, and there weren't enough rooms. Jiang Moli and four other members of the group were arranged to sleep in a triple room.

Three beds were pushed together, and five people squeezed in to sleep.

While everyone was busy making the beds, Yang Liqiong entered the room.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Yang."

Upon seeing Yang Liqiong, the group members all stopped what they were doing.

Yang Liqiong looked around the room and said to the group, "Isn't it too crowded for five people to sleep on three beds?"

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, he said to Jiang Moli, "My room has a big bed, you can sleep with me for the next couple of days."

Jiang Moli couldn't be happier, "Okay!"

Seeing that Jiang Moli had a lot of luggage, Yang Liqiong even offered to help her carry some of it.

After watching the two leave the room one after the other, the remaining four looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Isn't Deputy Regiment Commander Yang being too nice to Officer Jiang?"

"I really want to sleep in Deputy Regiment Commander Yang's room too."

"Who wouldn't want that!"

Yang Liqiong is the deputy regimental commander and lives in a cadre's room, which not only has a desk, wardrobe, and large bed, but also a private bathroom.

Upon arriving at Yang Liqiong's room, Jiang Moli put down her luggage and looked around the room.

Although the area is not large, it is equipped with everything you need. Most importantly, the bed is 1.5 meters wide, which is more than enough for her and Yang Liqiong to sleep in.

"If I had known this day would come, I would have given you the room no matter what back in Menghai."

Yang Liqiong remained noncommittal, "Is there anything wrong with your body? You don't look too well."

"It's nothing. By the way, how did I get back to my room last night? I can't remember at all."

"I'll take you back."

Jiang Moli nodded, not thinking much of it.

She assumed Yang Liqiong was helping her back to her room.

After they finished cleaning up, it was lunchtime, so the two of them went to the cafeteria for lunch together.

The main dish was steamed pumpkin with rice, and the side dish was pickled cabbage, vermicelli, and tofu stew. Yang Liqiong's cadre meal included an extra dish of stir-fried pork slices with garlic sprouts.

There were only five pieces of meat in total, and Yang Liqiong put three pieces into Jiang Moli's bowl.

"Eat more, you're too thin."

Jiang Moli blinked. "Are you worried that I won't be able to protect you when we go out together?"

Yang Liqiong glanced at her and said, "Just take care of yourself."

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "Next time we go out, walk behind me, so you can experience what it feels like to be protected by the whole world."

Yang Liqiong was amused by her words and couldn't stop laughing.

The other members of the group saw their interaction; some were envious, while others scoffed.

They're just sycophants who fawn over their superiors!

"Disdain value +3, 30000 yuan credited."

After getting off work, amidst envious glances, Hou Yuzhu got into Fang Qihong's car parked at the entrance of the cultural troupe.

"Hey, Young Master Chen, it's been a long time."

Upon seeing Chen Zhiyuan in the back seat of the car, Hou Yuzhu smiled and greeted him.

Chen Zhiyuan smiled and complimented, "Sister-in-law, you look radiant, you're getting more and more beautiful."

Hou Yuzhu tidied her hair with a charming air and said, "When you're in a good mood, you'll naturally be in a better state."

Fang Qihong glanced at her as he drove, "Is there some good news?"

"That annoying girl's show got reported and was canceled. It's so satisfying. It's a pity she's not in the group, otherwise I would have ridiculed her a bit and seen how arrogant she would be afterwards!"

Fang Qihong laughed and replied, "See? Even God is on your side. He's helped you vent your anger."

Hou Yuzhu cursed with satisfaction, "She deserved it!"

Chen Zhiyuan asked curiously, "Who are you talking about?"

Fang Qihong replied, "It's that Jiang Moli."

"Her."

Chen Zhiyuan suddenly realized.

Hou Yuzhu continued to ramble on about Jiang Moli: "She's always been arrogant and domineering, and she's offended quite a few people. This time, the people in the troupe are laughing at her behind her back..."

Midway through the journey, Hou Yuzhu got off the bus and went to a hair salon.

Fang Qihong continued to drive Chen Zhiyuan home, then turned around and went back to pick up Hou Yuzhu for dinner.

"Brother Hong, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not."

"Speak up, why are you being so formal with me?"

Chen Zhiyuan said jokingly, "I think my sister-in-law is a bit clueless. Jiang Moli has her in-laws backing her up, and she also gets favored by Deputy Regiment Commander Yang in the troupe. She's just an ordinary member of the troupe, yet she insists on competing with Jiang Moli. Isn't she just asking for trouble?"

Chen Zhiyuan still phrased his words tactfully.

In his view, Hou Yuzhu was like catching lice on a tiger's head—courting death.

"Although you, Brother Hong, are capable of protecting your wife, it's always best to avoid some trouble if possible, right?"

Fang Qihong was initially a little unhappy.

Hou Yuzhu is his girlfriend, so to speak ill of Hou Yuzhu is to offend him.

However, Chen Zhiyuan subtly flattered him in the next two sentences, which pleased him and made him take some of Chen Zhiyuan's words to heart.

As the saying goes, good things do not go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles away.

The news of Jiang Moli's program being suspended quickly spread throughout the military compound.

Those who disliked Jiang Moli secretly gloated.

Wu Miaoyun was especially happy.

She said it herself: how could someone like Jiang Moli, who is lazy and good-for-nothing, possibly write any good works?

Look, the dumplings wrapped in yellow paper have been exposed!
"In my opinion, her work was mostly selected because of Lao Lu's influence. It's a pity that she's hopeless; the higher she's praised, the harder she'll fall."
