1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 162: Why let the dog commit murder?

Wu Baozhu was a little afraid when her father scolded her, but she didn't like to listen to Zheng Aimei's preaching.

After all these years, if I had been able to listen at all, it would not be like this now.

No matter how much Zheng Aimei kept chattering, she just covered her head with the quilt.

She could barely tolerate it when talking about Cao Xiangdong, but once the topic spread to her mother-in-law, Gu Qingye, and Lu Youyou, Wu Baozhu exploded instantly.

"What's the matter? I just look down on Cao Xiangdong, so what? How can he compare to Gu Qingye? I haven't seen his mother harass Lu Youyou!"

"I know you all think I'm willful, but can I be as willful as someone named Lu? I haven't even asked you to publish two books for me to show off!"

Wu Baozhu spoke a lot of words in rapid succession, and Zheng Aimei realized that she really looked down on the Cao family and was even more jealous of Lu Youyou.

Zheng Aimei's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, she thought of a possibility: "You won't..."

She didn't dare mention Gu Qingye's name, for fear that if she mentioned it too much, it would make her think about it.

"Wu Baozhu, I'm warning you, Miss, please control your temper. I won't force you to dislike the Cao family. Just keep it together. You can't just do whatever you want in life. You..."

"Control your temper? I lived like this for the past twenty years. Why do I have to control my temper after getting married? Then why did I get married? Am I asking for trouble? And you said you wouldn't force me, but all of you are forcing me!"

Wu Baozhu sat up suddenly, put on her shoes and was about to leave.

Zheng Aimei reached out to stop him, but staggered and almost fell.

In just two seconds, Wu Baozhu ran out of the room. Zheng Aimei chased her out and only saw her back as she left home.

She originally wanted to go home to complain and seek comfort, but was scolded several times by her parents. Wu Baozhu was in a terrible mood and urgently needed someone to listen to her complaints.

She didn't want to even look at her mother-in-law's old face, so she tried her best to resist the urge to go home and smash things, and went straight to Wu Weimin's house.

My aunt is such a sarcastic mother-in-law, and Wang Manzhi is her kindred spirit.

Wang Manzhi's belly is already very big, but she is as thin as a bamboo pole. She has been vomiting since the day she became pregnant. She has to suck on sour plums from morning to night, otherwise she can't eat a single bite of food.

The sour plums she had just bought last week were all gone, so Old Mrs. Wu went out to buy more, cursing.

When she went out, she met Wu Baozhu who was in a hurry. She greeted her but Wu Baozhu acted as if she didn't hear her. She passed by her and called her "Aunt" vaguely without even looking at her.

Old Mrs. Wu spat and said, "Why are you so arrogant, little girl? The Wu family's foundation belongs to her children and grandchildren. In the future, Wu Baozhu will have to rely on Wu Weimin for her livelihood. There will be plenty of time to deal with her later!"

Wu Baozhu didn't care what the old lady was saying and rushed into the house. No matter how haggard Wang Manzhi looked, she couldn't stop complaining.

It’s definitely not the case that the relationship between the two is very good. Wang Manzhi is not a sociable person.

Wu Baozhu didn't necessarily think highly of her cousin's wife. It would be more accurate to say that she was looking for a qualified chat partner rather than someone to chat with. Coincidentally, Wang Manzhi was the type of person who only listened and didn't talk, which met her requirements very well.

From scolding her mother-in-law to Cao Xiangdong's "burdensome" brothers and sisters-in-law, to Gu Qingye and Lu Youyou, Wu Baozhu scolded them all, completely ignoring the fact that Wang Manzhi's face was getting worse and worse.

"Uh... ugh..."

Wu Baozhu stood up in an instant, and the stool made a harsh noise as it scraped against the ground.

Wang Manzhi covered her mouth, frowned, and her temples were throbbing with pain.

She had vomited half an hour ago and her stomach was empty. Now she was just retching and couldn't vomit, but she was too lazy to explain.

She changed her position but still felt uncomfortable, and the ever-present urge to urinate in the late pregnancy came back.

Wang Manzhi propped herself up and stood up. Wu Baozhu took another step back like a frightened bird and said subconsciously, "Don't vomit on me!"

Wang Manzhi looked up at her, said nothing, and walked out, holding onto the wall. Wu Baozhu was about to say something, but suddenly she couldn't say it. She didn't want to go over to help, but her little bit of conscience made her embarrassed to just leave.

Wang Manzhi didn't count on her at all, and walked out stopping every step, but without sour plums, she couldn't suppress her dry heaves at all.

As she passed the door of the room, the feeling of nausea came up again. She bent down, and Wu Baozhu next to her reacted nervously and reached out to block it.

Wang Manzhi's steps were weak, and she could not withstand the blow. She fell straight to the ground and grabbed with her hands a few times in vain, but caught nothing.

She used her last bit of strength to protect her abdomen and prevent her stomach from hitting the ground directly, but her tailbone hit the ground heavily and she fainted before she even had time to cry out in pain.

Wu Baozhu screamed in shock and immediately covered her mouth. Cold sweat instantly soaked her clothes and she almost forgot how to breathe.

She looked around in panic, but there was no one outside. In her panic, she had no time to think and her first reaction was to run.

You can't blame her, you can't blame her. It was Wang Manzhi who didn't stand firmly. It was her own problem. Yes, it was her own problem.

Wu Baozhu stumbled out, regretting the scream she had just made, which might have alarmed her neighbors.

Before the onlookers arrived, she had already bumped into Lu Youyou.

Lu Youyou had just returned from the Niusi Zhange team, but she didn't expect to be "ambushed" at her doorstep.

She didn't even see who it was and unconsciously stretched out her hand to block. Wu Baozhu on the opposite side was also panicked and raised her hand to try to pull the roadblock away.

The two men exerted force on each other, one falling to the left and the other falling to the right.

When Zhuifeng heard the noise, he rushed out like an arrow, crossed the courtyard wall and stood behind Lu Youyou. She only took two steps back without falling.

Wu Baozhu was not so lucky. She pushed with all her might, and with no support from behind, she fell to the ground and almost sprained her ankle.

Just then, Old Mrs. Wu came back, and the neighbors who heard the noise also came out.

Wu Baozhu became even more panicked. She didn't dare to look at Old Lady Wu at all. She stood up and was about to run away.

Fortunately, the courtyard walls were all railings, and someone had already discovered the unconscious Wang Manzhi.

"Oh my God! What's going on?"

"Comrade Wang? Comrade Wang?!"

"Auntie Wu, come and see your daughter-in-law. Why is she lying on the ground?"

Old Mrs. Wu's eyes were bloodshot, as if she had been struck by lightning: "God damn it, who wants to harm my grandson?!"

She subconsciously looked at Wu Baozhu. She was the only one at home just now.

But Wu Baozhu was a family member after all, so she just glanced at her and then looked away, her eyes focused on Lu Youyou.

Just now, besides Wu Baozhu, there was only Lu Youyou.

“Is it you! Is it you!!”

Old Mrs. Wu was worried about Wang Manzhi, but she was unwilling to let the "murderer" go. As she ran home, she shouted to Wu Baozhu, "Baozhu, watch over her, don't let her go!"

Wu Baozhu's heart was trembling. How could she listen to her? She ran away.

Lu Youyou patted Zhuifeng, and it jumped up and pounced on Wu Baozhu, pinning her to the ground.

"Let me go, Lu Youyou, what are you doing? Why are you letting a dog commit such a crime?!"
