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

Chapter 322 Acupuncture
Jiang Moli returned home, and Lu Tingting was sitting alone in the living room watching TV.

She glanced at the wall clock; it was only 8:30.

Are Grandma and the others asleep?

"Where did you go in Great-Grandma's room? Why are you coming home so late..."

Lu Tingting rattled off a string of words like a machine gun.

Zhu Huanghua behaved herself for two days, then her old problem relapsed.

She complained that the bed was too hard and uncomfortable, so she insisted on taking the quilts that An Hui and Lu Dezhao were using and using them as a mattress for her to sleep on.

After the bed was made, she complained of leg pain and insisted on having someone massage her legs.

Lu Dezhao massaged her, but she complained that his hands were too heavy and hurt, so she asked An Hui to massage her instead.

If An Hui didn't pinch it, Zhu Huanghua would cry, make a scene, and curse, saying that An Hui was unfilial.

……

Zhu Huanghua lay on the bed, watching An Hui and Ma Hongmei massaging her legs on either side, her half-closed eyelids filled with smugness.

The method the older sister came up with for her really worked.

The sixth son's wife is such a lazy woman, she still has to obediently serve her mother-in-law.

Lu Dezhao stood by the bed. "Mom, how does your leg feel?"

Zhu Huanghua squinted and grumbled, then calmly berated An Hui: "Get to the point, didn't you eat? You can't even serve people properly, you useless piece of trash..."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her calf, as if she had been pricked with a needle, and cried out in pain.

She opened her eyes and was met with Jiang Moli's smiling face.

"Grandma, how are you feeling?"

Under the lights, Jiang Moli's features were exquisitely beautiful, and she looked charming and lovely.

But in Zhu Huanghua's eyes, she was just as detestable as a she-devil.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Moli rubbed her hands excitedly, "I heard your leg hurts. It just so happens that I've been learning acupuncture recently. What a coincidence! Come on, let me give you a couple of needles!"

As he spoke, he flashed a gleaming silver needle in his hand.

Zhu Huanghua shuddered, her beady eyes glancing down to her calf. There, she saw a thin, long silver needle piercing her calf, gleaming coldly under the lamplight.

She was so scared her legs almost cramped up. "Get the needle out of my body right now!!"

Jiang Moli gestured to Lu Tingting to help hold down Zhu Huanghua's flailing legs.

"Grandma, don't move around. What if you get crippled by sticking the wrong acupoint?"

Hearing Jiang Moli say this, Zhu Huanghua struggled even more fiercely.

"Go away, my leg doesn't hurt anymore, I don't need your help!"

Jiang Moli was surprised, "It's so effective? It's healed in just one needle? Does it hurt anywhere else? I've been learning for several days, but I haven't had a chance to practice. Can you tell me where it hurts and let me give you a couple more needles?"

"I'm perfectly healthy, I don't feel any pain anywhere, I'm going to sleep, you all get out!"

"Alright, just let me know if you feel any pain, and I'll give you a couple of acupuncture needles. If two aren't enough, I'll give you a few more. I'll make sure you get better eventually."

Zhu Huanghua stared at her, her old face shifting unpredictably.

As Jiang Moli left Zhu Huanghua's room, she casually handed the acupuncture kit to An Hui:

"Mom, take this bag of needles. If Grandma feels unwell in the future, you can give her a few needles."

An Hui smiled knowingly, "Okay, I understand."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spoke loudly, and Zhu Huanghua inside the room heard them clearly, trembling with anger.

Those two heartless, rotten bastards dared to prick her with a needle!
Once they reached the living room, Lu Dezhao gave Jiang Moli a thumbs-up, saying, "Moli, it has to be you."

Ma Hongmei nodded repeatedly.

In this family, Jiang Moli is the only one who can keep the old lady in line.

……

After chatting with her parents-in-law in the living room for a while, Jiang Moli went back to her room to rest.

Lu Tingting sat at her desk, engrossed in peeling chestnuts.

On the desk was a palm-sized enamel plate with a dozen or so peeled chestnuts, each one golden and round.

"Was it peeled for me?"

Jiang Moli casually picked one up and ate it.

Lu Tingting glanced at her, but surprisingly didn't say anything.

Jiang Moli paused in her chestnut-eating motion. "You didn't poison it, did you?"

Lu Tingting glared at her fiercely, "Yes, she poisoned me, poison..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Moli fed her a chestnut and covered her mouth to prevent her from spitting it out. Only after she had eaten the chestnut did Jiang Moli release her.

While continuing to eat the peeled chestnut meat, he chuckled, "Even if it really is poisonous, it's worth it with you as my scapegoat."

As he spoke, he fed Lu Tingting a plump and sweet chestnut.

Lu Tingting glared at her angrily for a while, then opened her mouth and ate.

Did you call my school?

Jiang Moli patted her little head, "I thought you were being nice for no reason, but it turns out you're just returning the favor. Your third aunt hasn't spoiled you for nothing."

"Is it really you?" Lu Tingting asked, still somewhat doubtful.

Jiang Moli laughed, "You're not sure, yet you're peeling chestnuts for me to eat?"

Lu Tingting scoffed, "If it wasn't you, I'll just consider it food for the dogs!"

Jiang Moli chuckled, "You become like the company you keep. Sleeping in the same bed with you for so long has made me a bit like you. Hey, Gou Mei, do you still remember your sweet little sister by the Daming Lake?"

Lu Tingting was furious.

……

After packing her personal belongings, Jiang Moli looked up and smiled at her colleagues in the office:
"Dear friends, the journey ahead is long, and we'll meet again someday. I wish you all booming careers and prosperous lives."

People in the workplace are very adept at navigating interpersonal relationships.

Even if they had many grievances against Jiang Moli in the past, they all vanished with her departure, and everyone was now exchanging polite words.

"Xiao Jiang, take care."

"Come back and visit often when you have time."

As soon as Jiang Moli left, a group of people gathered to gossip.

"I don't know what she was thinking. She just gave up such a good job like that."

"Her husband was promoted to regimental commander, so she can just become the regimental commander's wife and enjoy a life of luxury. Why would she need to struggle to earn such a meager salary?"

"Yeah, she's really lucky."

Are you talking about me?

Seeing Jiang Moli return, everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Jiang Moli: "To be honest, I also think I'm pretty lucky. Those of you who are having a tough life, don't be discouraged. Endure the hardships while you're young, and you'll get used to it when you're old! On my way!"

Staring at Jiang Moli's retreating figure, all the women in the office were furious.

The regimental commander's wife is amazing!

Things change every thirty years, so just wait and see!
When she got home, she complained to her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and family, successfully earning Jiang Moli over a dozen points of dislike.

……

After leaving the directing department, Jiang Moli went to the drama hall.

Jin Chenggong is leading his troupe in rehearsing a new play that reflects current social issues.

Jiang Moli found an inconspicuous spot and quietly watched.

During a break in rehearsal, Jin Chenggong walked towards her with his hands behind his back.

"Master, you must be tired. Come and sit down for a while."

Jiang Moli patted the empty seat next to her.

Jin Chenggong sat down next to her, pulling up his trouser leg, and teased her, "You didn't doze off today, did you? You got all the paperwork done?"

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from Master. I'm leaving soon. I came here specifically to say goodbye to Master."

Jin Chenggong nodded. "We've been master and disciple, so don't think I'm being long-winded. Never lose sight of your principles. You're smart and quick-witted; I hope you'll achieve great things in the future."

“Please tell me more, I love to hear it. Everyone else criticizes me for being ignorant, lazy, and good-for-nothing, but only you praise me.”

Older people love to preach, and Jin Chenggong was very pleased with Jiang Moli's support.

Have you been practicing your voice lately?

"Practice whenever you have time. I recently practiced a poem, Master, please listen to it."

As she spoke, she began to recite aloud, her voice clear and melodious: "Peach and plum trees do not speak, yet a path is formed beneath them. A teacher's kindness is like rain, nourishing all things silently. Master, how was my recitation of this poem?"

Jin Chenggong stared at her intently, his eyes filled with surprise and emotion.

"Good, not bad, you've improved. With your voice, you'd be more than qualified to be a broadcaster in the army."

"No wonder people say that a teacher for a day is a father for life. My master has already arranged a job for me before I even arrived. I am really touched."

Jiang Moli smiled and took out two jars of pear syrup from her bag. "You use your voice a lot, so when you have free time, you can mix this pear syrup with water and drink it. It can moisturize your lungs, promote saliva production, and relieve coughs."

After watching Jiang Moli leave, Jin Chenggong looked at the pear syrup in his hand and couldn't help but feel gratified.

The little girl still has some conscience~
