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

Chapter 288 A Good Daughter-in-Law
"Good, good, it's good that you're back."

An Hui looked at him with tears in her eyes, her face filled with indescribable joy.

Lu Dezhao remained relatively composed, looking him up and down, "Are your injuries all healed?"

"Everything is fine."

An Hui noticed Jiang Moli next to her and saw that her small face was white with cold. She quickly took Jiang Moli's hand with concern and said, "Are you cold? Okay, let's not talk while we're standing here. Let's talk when we get home."

An Hui led Jiang Moli ahead, their arms linked intimately, looking more like a mother and daughter than a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Lu Dezhao and Lu Cheng walked side by side behind the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Jiang Xiaoguang and Jiang Peng walked at the back, chatting as they carried their luggage.

Lu Cheng responded to Lu Dezhao's words half-heartedly, but his eyes were fixed on his wife and mother in front of him.

When they first got married, he was quite worried that his mother and daughter-in-law would clash and fight at home because of their different tempers.

As a result, in the six months since their marriage, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have never had a single argument; on the contrary, they have gotten along better and better.

He had good taste; he chose a good wife who brought prosperity to the family and protected the home.

An Hui, who was in front, was also talking to Jiang Moli, "Moli, you've worked so hard taking care of Lao San for so long. Look how thin you've become. I asked my aunt to stew your favorite mutton. Eat more and help yourself recover."

"Okay, Mom, does your back hurt? I bought you some more of those plasters this time, and I'll have Dad put them on for you when we get back."

"You're so thoughtful; you still think of me no matter where you go."

An Hui felt extremely satisfied; she must have accumulated a lot of good karma in her past life to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law.

Return to the military compound.

Fann Wong, Xu Xiuzhen, and several nieces and nephews including Lu Tingting, the whole family stood at the gate to welcome them.

Yesterday was the Little New Year, but Jiang Moli and Lu Cheng couldn't make it back, so we changed it to today to celebrate the Little New Year and also to welcome them back.

Standing next to Fann Wong was a middle-aged man whose face was unfamiliar.

The man was of medium build, wearing a military overcoat, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and dignified features, exuding an aura of righteousness.

It must be Lu Yuan, the eldest brother of the Lu family whom I have never met before.

Lu Yuan is 42 years old this year. Although he is an adopted son, his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to those of the brothers Lu An and Lu Cheng.

"Mom, you're back. This must be my third brother's wife, right?"

Before they could get close, Lu Yuan strode up to greet them.

Jiang Moli smiled and called out "Big Brother".

Lu Cheng also came up and happily called out, "Big Brother."

Lu Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "Good lad, I heard you've done something good again this time?"

Lu Cheng laughed: "The organization trusts me and has entrusted me with this task. I can't let the Lu family down, can I?"

"Alright, we're already at your doorstep. Let's talk inside."

After Lu Dezhao gave the order, the whole family headed home.

A charcoal brazier was burning in the living room, making the room warm and cozy as soon as you entered. Several main dishes were already laid out on the dining table.

Ma Hongmei, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen and looked at the two with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, Moli, you're back! I made some brown sugar glutinous rice, I'll bring it out for you, drink it to warm yourself up."

"Auntie, I want some too!"

Ma Hongmei hurriedly replied, "Yes, everyone has some. Come into the kitchen and get them."

Lu Nana and the others followed to the kitchen. Lu Tingting was unusually less enthusiastic about food than usual, and slowly walked to the charcoal brazier to warm herself.

Fann Wong helped prepare a basin of hot water for Jiang Moli and Lu Cheng to wash their faces and hands.

After washing up, Ma Hongmei brought the two of them brown sugar and fermented rice soup.

Lu Cheng took a bowl and handed it to Jiang Moli first.

Although he had heard from his wife how much his third brother doted on his wife, Lu Yuan was still quite surprised to see it with his own eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, my third brother has never been kind to girls, but now he's eagerly trying to win over his wife.

Jiang Moli ate her sweet fermented rice soup and sat down next to Lu Tingting.

Aren't you going to eat?

Lu Tingting rolled her eyes at her and didn't say anything. Fan Wenfang scolded, "After a semester of studying, she got last place in both practical results and academic exams. Even a pig wouldn't be as stupid as her. What face does she have to eat? Don't waste food."

Jiang Moli thought to herself, "So that's why he's so downcast; he failed his final exams."

Lu Tingting retorted, "I didn't study for a whole semester! I only studied for half a semester!"

After saying that, he glared at Jiang Moli.

She clearly resented Jiang Moli for sending her to Menghai to teach, which caused her to miss classes.

"Try talking back again! We've fed and clothed you so well throughout your university years, and you still got such terrible grades. If you can't study, then don't bother. You'll be coming to the army with me next year!"

Having spent many years immersed in military affairs, Lu Yuan possessed a stern demeanor and showed no mercy when disciplining people.

Lu Tingting was both angry and ashamed, tears welling up in her eyes. She got up and ran outside.

"Dinner's almost ready, where did you go?"

An Hui called out to her granddaughter's back, but received no response. She then turned around and berated Fann Wong and Lu Yuan.

"Honestly, you guys had to scold her in front of so many people. She's a grown woman, doesn't she have any pride?"

Fann Wong couldn't help but feel wronged: "Mom, if Tingting continues to be so irresponsible and uneducated, I'm afraid she won't be able to graduate next year."

Lu Dezhao said, "If I can't graduate next year, I'll study for another year and graduate the year after. It's no big deal."

If I study for another year, I'll be 22, practically an old maid.

Fann Wong thought this in her heart, but didn't say it out loud.

Ma Hongmei said worriedly, "It's so cold outside, and Tingting didn't even bring her coat. I hope she doesn't catch a cold. Should I go out and look for it?"

Fann Wong glanced out the window, said nothing, but her eyes showed worry.

Jiang Moli spoke up, "I'll go."

An Hui hurriedly told her, "Jasmine, put on your coat, don't get cold."

Jiang Moli put down her bowl and got up to put on her coat.

Lu Cheng also stood up: "I'll go with you."

"You should stay home and rest. Tingting is afraid of you."

When his daughter-in-law complained about him, Lu Cheng couldn't help but wonder if he had been too strict with his niece.
After leaving the courtyard, Jiang Moli looked around but didn't see Lu Tingting anywhere. She then headed towards Lu Tingting's house.

……

Lu Tingting squatted at the door of her house, hugging her arms, shivering from the cold.

She forgot to bring her keys back, but was too embarrassed to go back and get them.

Just as she was about to faint from the cold, she heard footsteps coming from the stairwell.

She turned her head and was stunned to see Jiang Moli appearing with a military overcoat in her arms.

Are you sitting here incubating eggs?

"None of your business. What are you doing here?"

Jiang Moli threw General Jiang's overcoat to her.

Lu Tingting didn't argue and accepted the coat, putting it on.

"Your grandparents were worried about you, so they sent me out to look for you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingting's eyes couldn't help but redden.

There are still people who care about her, love her, and cherish her, sob sob sob.

Jiang Moli took out her keys, opened her door, and went inside.

Lu Tingting followed behind her, muttering, "She just walks into someone's house without even asking."

Where did you put your cold medicine?

Lu Tingting opened the drawer, took out a bottle of cold medicine, and handed it to her.

Jiang Moli took the medicine bottle. "Go pour me a glass of water."

That wretched woman, I have to order her around even to pour water, she's so spoiled.

He cursed under his breath, but still picked up the water bottle and poured half a cup of boiling water.
