Chapter 58 Gay Men Also Need Reputation

As the instructor, Song Ming still had to be responsible for Lu Xiao's reputation.

Upon seeing Song Ming, Shen Yuqing seemed to gain confidence. She immediately turned to look at Song Ming and shouted loudly.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Lu knows that Xiao Jing likes him so much, yet he turns a blind eye to what Xiao Jing is going through. Isn't that going too far?"

Song and Ming Dynasties?

These words were so abrupt that Song Ming didn't immediately know how to respond.

He paused for a moment before realizing what he meant, "You mean, someone likes Deputy Regiment Commander Lu?"

"Yes!"

Shen Yuqing answered very decisively.

Song Ming was dumbfounded. "You and your friend didn't know that Deputy Regiment Commander Lu has been married for many years?"

Shen Yuqing?
"What do you mean, 'married for many years'?"

She dismissed it, saying, "His wife died a long time ago, didn't she? Just because they're married doesn't mean she's dead..."

"Comrade!"

Lu Xiao interrupted Shen Yuqing, his already cold features becoming even more icy.

"Watch your words. If you dare to speak ill of my wife again, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Shen Yuqing was frightened by Lu Xiao's cold attitude.

Song Ming, who was standing nearby, also spoke up in time, "Comrade, you should be a little more careful when you talk to your friend. Deputy Regiment Commander Lu is a married man. Don't keep saying that you like him. It will put unnecessary burden on him."

“It’s not just lesbians who care about their reputation; we lesbians care about our reputation too, and we can’t let people slander us at will.”

Song Ming's words were a bit harsh, but what needed to be said had to be made clear.

Shen Yuqing never dreamed that she would be slapped in the face by both Lu Xiao and Song Ming.

But thinking about her best friend's current situation, Shen Yuqing still felt somewhat unwilling.

"Xiao Jing, she..."

"You mean Chen Jing, right?"

Lu Xiao interrupted Shen Yuqing again and directly said the full name of the person Shen Yuqing had been keeping quiet about.

Shen Yuqing was stunned.

"You knew perfectly well..."

"She is my wife's cousin."

As Lu Xiao spoke, he added coldly, "She's under investigation now, isn't she?"

Shen Yuqing was even more surprised, "How did you know? You..."

"I reported it."

Lu Xiao remained expressionless, but his cold words were more hurtful than a sharp blade.

Shen Yuqing stared blankly at Lu Xiao; the words she was hearing were completely beyond her comprehension.

"You reported it..."

"Why are you……"

"why?"

Lu Xiao's lips curled into a cold smile. "She hired someone to push my wife down the mountain, almost causing her and her unborn child to die. Tell me why?"

He wears this outfit while doing this job.

Otherwise, given Chen Jing's actions, he would have had her killed long ago.

Lu Xiao is extremely protective of his own people.

His wife is his Achilles' heel; he will not be polite to anyone who dares to harm her.

This applies to both men and women.

Song Ming, who was listening from the side, understood what was going on and couldn't help but gasp. "That Comrade Chen Jing from the cultural troupe, is she really that vicious?"

Having worked with Lu Xiao for a long time, Song Ming naturally believed Lu Xiao's words.

Lu Xiao nodded slightly. "Yes."

After saying that, he added, "If my wife hadn't been lucky, I would have lost her and our child forever..."

He lived like that for five years, and he never wanted to live like that again.

Anyone who harms his wife will be punished.

Song Ming nodded. "This is truly vicious and unexpected." Shen Yuqing, who had originally intended to blame Lu Xiao, had to admit that Lu Xiao's words had a tremendous impact on her.

Although she believed in her heart that Chen Jing was not that kind of person.

But Lu Xiao's demeanor didn't seem like he was lying...

Shen Yuqing was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do.

Lu Xiao ignored her.

As long as she doesn't cause trouble, it's fine.

As for the rest? They have nothing to do with me.

Instead of wasting time with irrelevant people, let's get more work done today.

Lu Xiao entered the courtyard.

After having breakfast, Song Ming also came over to help.

The walls inside the house were repainted, the windows were repainted, and even the kitchen stove was rebuilt and the walls were painted white.

The toilet was paved with bricks. Lu Xiao even went to the city to bring back some floor tiles and spent a lot of money to buy a foreign-style chamber pot from a foreign trade store.

The toilet walls were painted white, the floor was paved with bricks, and a bucket was placed next to it. After using the toilet, you would flush it.

There was still one window open for ventilation, and it was clean and odorless.

In the backyard, behind the two bedrooms on the left and right, two new bathrooms have been built.

Song Ming had asked Lu Xiao before, and he could understand building one bathroom, but what was the point of building two?

Lu Xiao replied that his parents would also come to help take care of the child. It was cold to shower outside in winter, so they decided to build a bathroom behind their house.

After listening, Song Ming gave Lu Xiao a thumbs up and had no other thoughts.

That's an overly comprehensive approach.

He not only thought of his wife, but also his parents-in-law.

very nice.

Meanwhile, in the Song family, Song Ming's wife, Chen Chunya, after seeing the bathroom and clean toilet built by Lu Xiao, was eager to renovate her own house.

Song Ming could only build a bathroom for the time being.

As for renovating the toilets, that will have to wait until spring.

The main problem is that the whole family needs to use the toilet now, so it will definitely take time to make the changes, and it will be unusable for a few days.

Can't the whole family go for days without using the toilet?
The reason for waiting until spring to renovate is that by then, people can use the public toilets in the residential compound if they need to use the restroom.

The weather is warmer now, unlike how cold it is now, so going to the public restroom is more comfortable.

…………

Lu Xiao laid bricks about two meters wide and ten to twenty meters long against the wall in the backyard of his house.

We'll install a water tap in the backyard so we can wash clothes.

You can also tie bamboo poles here to dry clothes.

The width of the paving bricks is just about the same as the width of the bathroom he built. Later, he will add another layer under the eaves, and this area in the backyard can also be used for cooling off.

Song Ming watched Lu Xiao draw the blueprints and expressed his admiration for his decisiveness.

"You are too awesome."

"We need to tidy up the family compound and draw up a blueprint."

"Are you trying to make your sister-in-law cry with emotion?"

Song Ming teased Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was busy laying the last few bricks. After he finished, he needed to find some wood to place on the two bathrooms to extend the roof.

Hearing Song Ming's teasing, he replied without looking up, "What I'm doing now is far worse than the environment my wife used to live in."

He didn't want his wife to be moved; he just wanted her to live a more comfortable life.

Song Ming clicked his tongue in admiration, "A good man, a truly good man."

"No wonder those women, even knowing you're married, still flock to you, wanting to marry you."

"Forget about them, if I weren't a man, I would have fallen for you."

As soon as Song Ming finished speaking, a familiar female voice came from the side.

Whom do you want to fall for?
