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

Chapter 284 Love in a Bowl of Plain Congee
Jiang Moli didn't deliberately inquire about Wei Qing's situation, but Jiang Dahai felt guilty towards his stepdaughter and, given his relationship with Li Hongying, he took good care of her.

"They'll be sent to a farm for labor reform. If they behave well, they might be released in eight or ten years."

Jiang Peng said, "Fortunately, Jiaming divorced her, otherwise he would have been implicated by her too."

Given Wei Qing's offense, Zhang Jiaming will likely be advised to leave the military and be discharged early.

However, on the other hand, if Zhang Jiaming had retired from the military earlier, he wouldn't have participated in this mission, nor would he have gone missing.

This proves the old saying: fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune.

……

As soon as Jiang Moli entered the guesthouse, Jiang Xiaoguang came to greet her, clearly having waited for her return on the first floor.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Xiaopeng."

Jiang Peng hadn't seen Jiang Xiaoguang in a long time, so he grinned and chatted with him for a bit.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Xiaoguang handed the room key to Jiang Moli: "Sister-in-law, the room number is 209. I've already brought your luggage to your room."

Jiang Moli took the keys. "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. Please stay here and take good care of Third Brother. I'll head back now."

Jiang Moli asked in surprise, "Leaving now? You probably can't buy a ticket at this hour, right?"

Jiang Peng agreed, "Brother Guang, this is your first time here, stay a couple more days, and come with me to visit the military base."

Jiang Xiaoguang replied to Jiang Moli first: "I will go to Kunming with the army vehicle first, and take the train back to Chengdu early tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he said to Jiang Peng, "Brother Xiao Peng, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. The commander still has tasks to assign."

Hearing him say that, Jiang Peng didn't dare to try to keep him.

Jiang Moli took the net bag off Jiang Peng's neck. The net bag contained fruit, some biscuits, dried meat, and malted milk powder, all of which Qiao Wenjing had brought.

Lu Cheng was worried that Jiang Moli would be hungry at night, so he told her to take everything back to the guesthouse to eat.

Jiang Moli took out the malted milk powder, some fruit, and gave the rest, along with the net bag, to Jiang Xiaoguang.

After Jiang Xiaoguang left, Jiang Peng escorted Jiang Moli to her room and then returned to the hospital.

The guesthouse room was quite nice, large and bright, with two thermos flasks on the long table filled with hot water.

To be fair, Jiang Xiaoguang is quite reliable.

After a quick wash and locking the door, Jiang Moli went to bed.

Sleep until dawn.

After traveling for two days, Jiang Moli was exhausted. After a good night's sleep, her body and mind recovered considerably.

After washing up, she went out to buy some daily necessities, then went to a restaurant and bought pork liver porridge and six boiled eggs, which she then took to the hospital.

When they arrived at the ward, the doctor was examining Lu Cheng's wound.

As Jiang Moli approached, she saw the man's injuries and finally understood why her sleeping in Lu Cheng's hospital bed had caused such a strong reaction.

Compared to three months ago, the man had lost a lot of weight. All his nice muscles were gone, leaving only a thin layer of skin hanging on his bones, making him look emaciated.

The gunshot wound was stitched up with black catgut sutures to create a hideous scar.

The doctor used iodine to clean Lu Cheng's scar, while lecturing him: "The place where the sutures were torn is infected and has become purulent. You must rest in bed for the next two days and not move around."

When he mentioned bed rest, he gave Jiang Moli a meaningful look.

They had obviously heard the gossip that Jiang Moli had kicked Lu Cheng off the hospital bed and then occupied it to sleep.

……

The doctor had barely left when Jiang Peng arrived at the ward.

"Sis, if you feel sleepy from now on, come sleep at my place, don't sleep in your husband's bed." Jiang Moli's eyes were cold: "Are you telling me how to do things?"

Jiang Peng's skin tightened, and he immediately fell silent.

At this time, Lu Cheng was unaware that his decision to give up his hospital bed had caused Jiang Moli to face criticism, and he was equally unhappy with his brother-in-law.

“Even though you are siblings, you are both adults. People will gossip if you sleep in the same bed.”

Jiang Peng felt wronged: "Brother-in-law, you have no idea, the whole hospital is talking badly about my sister."

Upon realizing that his good intentions had backfired, Lu Cheng couldn't help but feel remorseful.

Looking at Jiang Moli with a guilty look in his eyes, he said, "I'm sorry, I've made you suffer."

Jiang Moli said nonchalantly, "It's no big deal. Let them talk. It's not like I'll lose a piece of my flesh."

Lu Cheng was deeply impressed by his wife's composure in the face of both honor and disgrace.

Little did people know, Jiang Moli was eager for everyone to spread more gossip about her, preferably until the whole city knew about it, then her mission progress would be almost at its peak!
Jiang Moli took out the towel and toothbrush she had bought, filled the water and helped Lu Cheng wash up before opening the lunchbox.

Xicheng is located in the tropics, and even in winter the temperature is between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius. The pork liver porridge didn't get cold even though it was in a lunchbox.

Worried that one serving wouldn't be enough for the two grown men, Jiang Moli specially bought two servings. Little did she know that Jiang Peng would be so considerate today.

"Sister, you and brother-in-law eat, I've already eaten."

Jiang Moli didn't say anything, assuming that the nurse had fed her.

The portion of pork liver congee was quite large; Lu Cheng probably couldn't finish two servings by himself, especially since there were several eggs. So he packed one of the boxes and asked Jiang Peng to deliver it to Dr. Gu's room.

Jiang Peng: "No need, Comrade Gu has already eaten. Xiaoyue cooked a pot of rice porridge, and Comrade Gu and I each ate half a pot. I must say, Xiaoyue's cooking skills are quite good; the porridge was especially fragrant."

As he spoke, he patted his round belly with his bear-like paw-like hand with a satisfied look on his face.

Jiang Moli smiled enigmatically: "She fed you?"

Jiang Peng nodded. "Mm."

Lu Cheng couldn't help but praise, "Tangyuan is a kind-hearted girl. I should thank her properly another day."

Lu Cheng genuinely wanted to thank Tang Xiaoyue for allowing him to enjoy his wife's care all to himself.

Jiang Moli scooped up a spoonful of pork liver porridge and fed it to Lu Cheng, but Lu Cheng turned his head away and said, "You eat first."

He only opened his mouth and ate it after Jiang Moli said she didn't like eating pig liver.

While feeding Lu Cheng, Jiang Moli spoke of Jiang Peng:

"Don't accept food, clothing, or other items from women casually. If you do, you have to be responsible for them."

Lu Cheng nodded. "Your sister is right."

Jiang Peng exclaimed in surprise, "My God, I only ate a bowl of porridge, and I have to pay off my debt with my body? Am I only worth a bowl of porridge?"

Jiang Moli teased, "What, didn't Xiaoyue's plain porridge give you a sense of home?"

Jiang Peng: "Sis, are you kidding me? If a bowl of porridge can make you feel at home, then I have countless homes!"

After feeding Lu Cheng, Jiang Moli peeled two eggs for herself and made herself a cup of malted milk powder to eat with them.

Malted milk powder is quite nutritious, but unfortunately Lu Cheng dislikes it because of its strong milky flavor. Jiang Peng also ate too much for breakfast and couldn't drink it, which benefited her.

While they were eating, Wei Huihui came in to deliver the medicine.

Watching her eat an egg and a malted milk powder with relish, Lu Cheng and Jiang Peng, the two wounded soldiers, watched her eat with envy, and were extremely annoyed.

"Family member of Battalion Commander Lu, Battalion Commander Lu is in dire need of nutritional supplements right now. These are good things like eggs and malted milk powder, and instead of letting him eat them, you're eating them all by yourself. You've really gone too far!"

Lu Cheng thought his wife was especially cute when she ate, taking small bites and being as gentle as a young girl.

Just as he was enjoying the show, a spoilsport suddenly appeared, instantly making him unhappy.
