After emptying her family's fortune, the pampered young lady went to join the army while heavil

Chapter 55 He still needs his wife to feel sorry for him.
Xu Chunmei understood.

Niu Xianhua ran away, so she let her run away.

They will go to the Niu family again tomorrow to demand their return.

If Niu Xianhua is willing to come back and live a good life, then let's just let this matter go.

If she still doesn't repent, then the Tian family won't miss another daughter-in-law.

The second son has been released from prison. If he's capable of finding someone to marry, great; if not, that's just his fate.

Xu Chunmei had thought it through clearly.

The other members of the Tian family, however, seemed preoccupied.

What kind of mess is this, especially during the Lunar New Year?
Tian Guangxia glanced at his father, whose face was dark, then at his mother, and then at his wife who was holding the frightened Tie Dan. He sighed and took two steps forward.

"Mother, Father, how about I take a few people and go look for him, and bring his second aunt back?"

"Go where? I'm not going."

Xu Chunmei lost her temper and scolded her eldest son, "It's pitch black outside, snowing, and the roads are slippery. Why did you go after her?"

"If she likes to run, then let her run."

"Get some rest. Tomorrow, a few of us will go to Old Niu's house and ask if the marriage is still going to happen."

"If we don't want to get married, we won't force her. Let Niu Xianhua go wherever she wants!"

Xu Chunmei spoke up.

Tian Guangxia then fell silent.

Tian Shichang told everyone who came to help to go back and rest.

As for what happened tonight, he didn't say they couldn't spread it.

Anyway, it's just one village, and other people will definitely find out eventually, so he can't stop them all.

The people who came to help comforted Xu Chunmei, said a few words to Lao Cuifen, and told her to take good care of her parents before leaving Tian Shichang's house.

Qiao Nian and his family, who lived in a relatively remote mountain area, were unaware of what was happening in the village.

Qiao Nian's family stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year, and only went to sleep after midnight.

After midnight, it will be the New Year, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Lu Xiao will be going back on the second day of the Lunar New Year, which means it will be tomorrow.

Qiao Nian was a little reluctant to part, so when she went to sleep, she took the initiative to hug the man's waist and snuggle into his arms.

She would insist on checking the injury on his arm to make sure it had healed before she was at ease.

"After you return to the unit, you are not allowed to speak to Chen Jing."

She nestled in his arms, warning him in a deliberately fierce tone, "If you dare to have anything going on with Chen Jing, I'll divorce you, and no amount of pleading will help."

"What are you thinking about, silly Nian Nian?"

Lu Xiao gently stroked her cheek, kissing her eyebrows and eyes with affection, and coaxed her with a smile, "I will only have ambiguous relationships with Niannian."

"Get lost, who said we're not in a proper relationship?"

Qiao Nian was very unhappy with his description, "I'm your wife, we have a marriage certificate, it's not some ambiguous relationship."

"Yes, yes, yes, Niannian is right, my husband is wrong."

Lu Xiao coaxed her, "Niannian is my wife, the mother of my child, and Lu Xiao's lifeblood!"

"rhetoric!"

Qiao Nian rolled her eyes at the man several times.

Lu Xiao was not angry at all; on the contrary, he cherished his wife even more.

That's why she's the childhood sweetheart I've been eyeing since she was little; she's just so lovable.

Lu Xiao hugged and kissed Qiao Nian for a while.

"Niannian..."

Lu Xiao grabbed her hand, his voice full of flattery.

"Get lost."

Qiao Nian glared at the man with annoyance. "You asked for it."

If it weren't for the fact that he was really struggling to hold it in, Qiao Nian wouldn't have paid any attention to him!

"Um……"

The first day of the first lunar month.

The first day of the new year. Qiao Nian woke up a little late.

In fact, it's not just today; she sleeps until she naturally wakes up almost every day.

However, when I woke up today, I saw Lu Xiao sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) reading a book.

Noticing that she was awake, he put down his book and reached out to help her up. "You're awake. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Qiao Nian sat up with Lu Xiao's help.

After sleeping for a long time, my body didn't feel very heavy, but my wrists were particularly sore.

I overworked last night.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at the man beside her, "My wrist hurts."

"It's my fault, let me rub it for you."

Lu Xiao doesn't have much patience, but he uses all of his patience and gentleness on the girls around him.

Qiao Nian hummed and groaned as the man massaged her wrists. If he used even a little too much force, she would complain.

Whenever Qiao Nian thought of glaring at him, the man would always kiss her first.

Qiao Nian said, "It's so dirty, I haven't brushed my teeth or washed my face yet."

She herself is dirty, and she despises it too.

But the man didn't seem to notice at all.

The young couple bickered for a while before leaving the room to wash up and eat.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lu Xiao decided to go to the village head's house.

He's going back to his unit tomorrow, and he still needs to explain the safety of his family to the battalion commander.

Qiao Nian decided to go with him.

Considering that the brigade leader had three grandsons, Qiao Nian found three pieces of red paper, put three 50-cent coins inside, and prepared to give them to the three children.

Nowadays, the red envelopes given out during the Lunar New Year in the village usually contain a few cents, at most a dime. Qiao Nian put in fifty cents, which was a huge sum of money.

In addition to the three red envelopes he had prepared, Lu Xiao also cut a slice of smoked meat weighing about a pound, plus about two ounces of sausage, wrapped it in oil paper, tied it with straw rope, and then went out.

Before Qiao Nian and the others even reached the Tian family's house, they saw from afar that part of the brigade leader's outbuilding seemed to have collapsed. She looked at the man beside her with some confusion.

"Was it burned?"

"I don't know."

When they came down to the village to get fish yesterday, the outbuilding of the village chief's house was still in good condition.

The side room caught fire after one night.

Lu Xiao had some doubts, but he didn't say anything.

The couple arrived at Tian Shichang's house and found that only Tian Shichang and his three children were home.

Qiao Nian and Lu Xiao wished Tian Shichang a Happy New Year. Lu Xiao put the things he brought on the kang table next to him before asking Tian Shichang if something had happened at home.

Why does it look like the side room next door was burned down?
Tian Shichang sighed and briefly recounted the events of the previous night to Lu Xiao.

It was a shameful thing, and he was too embarrassed to publicize it.

Lu Xiao and his group weren't the type to pry into gossip; they just needed a general understanding.

Qiao Nian went into the courtyard and handed three red envelopes to the three grandsons of the Tian family.

The three children were timid and dared not take it.

They ran from the yard into the house, ran to their grandfather's side, and looked at Qiao Nian cautiously.

When Tian Shichang saw the red envelope in Qiao Nian's hand, he felt a little embarrassed. "You always bring things when you come, and we already feel very bad about it."

"No need to prepare red envelopes, don't be so polite."

Qiao Nian smiled and said, "It's just a New Year's custom to give a few children a little bit of lucky money. It's just a token gesture, not much money at all."

As she spoke, she handed over the red envelope again.

Seeing this, Tian Shichang knew that they were genuinely offering the red envelopes, so he could only let his three grandsons accept them.

Only after receiving their grandfather's approval did the three children carefully accept the red envelopes and obediently express their gratitude.

Although Tian Guangmao and Niu Xianhua are unreliable, their child is quite good.

He's still a polite person.

After Lu Xiao and the others left, Tian Shichang saw the amount of money in the red envelopes in his grandsons' hands, and he couldn't help but sigh.
