A well-behaved girl was deceived while searching for her husband; she married a childless military o

After Staff Officer Lin left, Qiao Lanshu went to bed to rest.

She has been hospitalized for two days. She caught a cold from being chilled, but she is much better now. She can't stay in the hospital indefinitely.

So the next day, she took ten yuan and asked a nurse at the hospital to help her buy a cotton-padded coat.

Although the supply and marketing cooperative sells cotton and fabric, it has relatively few ready-made garments, especially for someone as petite as her, who has difficulty finding clothes.

So the nurse simply said to her, "How about this, I'll charge you five yuan, and you don't need to give me the cotton coupon. I'll give you a set of cotton-padded clothes that I just made myself, they're a bit big, but you can make do with them?"

Because the officers in the army took great care of Qiao Lanshu.

Qiao Lanshu was from the South, and was quite young. She spoke in a gentle and soft voice, so even the doctors and nurses took good care of her.

So, upon hearing the nurse say that, Qiao Lanshu was very grateful: "Okay, thank you so much, sister."

She kept calling her "sister," which pleased the nurse, who said, "I'll bring you two more pairs of socks. It's cold here, and you can't get by without thick socks."

Qiao Lanshu thanked him repeatedly.

The weather isn't too cold yet, but when winter comes, a cotton-padded coat and thick socks alone won't be enough.

However, by then, Qiao Lanshu might not still be here.

She felt a little disappointed.

She likes Qin Yuanzheng, but from the way he treats her, it seems like he only sees her as a child.

Qiao Lanshu put on the cotton-padded jacket, cotton-padded trousers, and thick socks that the nurse had given her, packed her things, and completed the discharge procedures.

Her cold is much better, but she still has a runny nose and her voice is quite nasal.

The cotton-padded jacket and trousers were a bit too big, so she rolled up the trouser legs and sleeves twice, then braided her long hair into two jet-black, shiny braids before carrying her bundle and leaving the hospital.

Before leaving, she specifically instructed the nurse, "Sister, if Qin Tuan comes looking for me, please tell him I'm staying at the guesthouse."

The nurse smiled and agreed.

Qiao Lanshu was afraid that Qin Yuanzheng wouldn't be able to find her when he arrived, so she told the gatekeeper at the hospital gate again when she left.

She brought all her belongings to the guesthouse and booked a room with the letter of introduction.

Then, taking advantage of the good weather and bright sunshine, she hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.

She has to stay here for a few more days, so she needs to buy some daily necessities such as towels and washbasins, as well as some food.

Actually, her hands, face, and even lips were a bit dry and itchy, but she didn't have any money to buy skincare products. She wondered what people here used to wipe their faces.

With that thought in mind, she walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative not far away.

Fortunately, the guesthouse, the supply and marketing cooperative, and the hospital were not far apart; she could walk there in about half an hour.

As she approached the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, she suddenly stopped and stared intently in one direction.

Sun Mingyong was wearing the uniform of a food factory worker, and a young woman wearing the same uniform was with him.

The woman was also holding the hand of a boy who looked about five or six years old.

The two men came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, each carrying something in their hands.

Sun Mingyong is from Guangzhou. He went north at the age of 15, when he was penniless and had no one to rely on.

Thanks to his deceased father's connection with the Qiao family, he received financial assistance from Qiao's father. Over the years, the Qiao family has sent him money and food worth an estimated thousands of yuan.

That's no small amount.

After many years, Sun Mingyong had grown taller, but his appearance hadn't changed much.

Qiao Lanshu stared intently at Sun Mingyong with a gloomy look in her eyes. After they left the supply and marketing cooperative, she immediately followed behind Sun Mingyong and trailed them all the way to the dormitory area of ​​the food factory.

Sun Mingyong sensed someone behind him, so he turned around and glanced back. His heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively blurted out, "Lan Shu..."

Sun Mingyong's wife turned to look at him: "Huh? What did you say?"

Sun Mingyong smiled and said, "Oh, I mean, I forgot some documents at the factory. I need to go back and get them. You guys go back first, I'll be right back."

His wife didn't suspect anything and nodded, "Then hurry up, I'll go back and cook."

Sun Mingyong nodded, then turned and strode over.

Qiao Lanshu stood outside the gate of the food factory's dormitory area. It was lunchtime for everyone.

Sun Mingyong and his wife both work at a food factory. They took advantage of their lunch break to go out to buy things and bring their child home for lunch.

He walked up to Qiao Lanshu, looked around to make sure no one was nearby, and then said in a low voice with concern, "Shushu, what are you doing here?"

Qiao Lanshu sneered: "Why do you think I'm here?"

Sun Mingyong pretended to be stupid and said, "Since you were coming, why didn't you write to me in advance? Or send a telegram, that would have been fine, so I could have picked you up. This place is different from Guangzhou. The climate here is dry and cold. You're a girl, you won't be able to adapt."

As he spoke, he took out another ten-yuan note from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Lanshu, saying, "Lanshu, take this and go buy something. You've never suffered any hardship since you were little, so don't make yourself suffer here."

Qiao Lanshu didn't want the money at first, but then she thought, it's all her father's money, why shouldn't she take it?

She took the money and said, "Ten yuan isn't enough. It's so cold here, I need to buy something nice. Didn't you say I can't be treated poorly?"

Sun Mingyong's face darkened, but he didn't say anything else. Instead, he took out all five ten-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to Qiao Lanshu: "Sixty yuan, is that enough?"

Qiao Lanshu took all sixty yuan, then looked at Sun Mingyong and said with a half-smile:

"Well done, Sun Mingyong. I remember when you left home, you didn't have a single copper coin in your pocket. My dad bought your train ticket and exchanged your food coupons. The clothes and shoes you're wearing were made for you by our family using fabric we provided... Now, you're spending a lot of money. Looks like you've become quite wealthy."

Listening to Qiao Lanshu's words, Sun Mingyong knew she was mocking him.

But he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it right now.

After all, he married the daughter of the director of their food factory.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to find a job in a food factory, let alone in the leisurely business department, where he would spend his days dealing with managers from various departments.

Sun Mingyong looked around to make sure no one was there before grabbing Qiao Lanshu's arm and whispering, "Lanshu, this isn't the place to talk. You haven't eaten yet, have you? The state-run restaurant here has local cuisine. I'll take you there."

Qiao Lanshu broke free from his hand; she was short and not very strong.

So, she got so angry that she jumped up and slapped him across the face.

Although it didn't hurt much, it still stunned Sun Mingyong.

Qiao Lanshu's expression was cold and stern: "Sun Mingyong, it's come to this, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

She didn't hate that Sun Mingyong married someone else, after all, the two didn't have much of an emotional foundation.

What she hated was that Sun Mingyong, despite already being married and having children, still dragged her along and lied to her family. He accepted all the money and food coupons sent by Qiao's father.

She used to doubt whether officers in the military were really that poor.

Now we know, he was using her family's money to support his wife and children!

Sun Mingyong covered his face but did not retaliate.

He simply frowned, looking dejected, and said:

"Lan Shu, you've always lived a life of luxury, with capable parents. What do you know, you pampered young lady? You have no idea how hard things have been for me. When I first arrived here, I didn't even have a place to live; I had to stay in a cave! The army wouldn't take me, and I couldn't find a job. Do you know how difficult it was for me? I almost froze to death in the snow, do you know that?"

Qiao Lanshu found it funny. How good could her life be, living with her stepmother?

Sun Mingyong only nearly froze to death; he didn't actually die!

She looked at Sun Mingyong coldly: "So what? You took the money my dad gave you, pretended to be a rich young master from the South, and came here to commit marriage fraud, is that it?"

She pointed at Sun Mingyong: "You just wait, I'm going to report you to your workplace right now! I'll make sure you lose your job and are sent to a labor camp to reclaim wasteland!"

Sun Mingyong was truly scared this time.

He gripped Qiao Lanshu's hand tightly, a glint of ferocity flashing in his eyes: "Qiao Lanshu! What do you want? Are you going to ruin me?"

Qiao Lanshu was certainly not serious; even if she were to report it, it wouldn't be now.

She was no match for Sun Mingyong.

If she hadn't escaped in her past life and received help from the Women's Federation, Sun Mingyong wouldn't have admitted to the marriage fraud!

Qiao Lanshu thought that this time, she would send Sun Mingyong to a labor camp as before!

A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years.

She was being dragged by Sun Mingyong, and her arm hurt so much that tears welled up in her eyes.

She then feigned great sadness and said, "I traveled all this way to see you, thinking I could join you in the army, but it turns out you lied to me. Do you know how heartbroken I am?"

When Sun Mingyong saw her crying, he loosened his grip a little.

After all, he used to really like Qiao Lanshu. Qiao Lanshu was well-behaved, quiet, and beautiful.

When he was a child, he went to the Qiao family with his father for the first time and fell in love with Qiao Lanshu.

He had once fantasized about marrying Qiao Lanshu as a military officer.

But the army wouldn't accept him, so he had to find another way out.

Otherwise, as a poor boy without any family support and no job, the Qiao family would definitely look down on him.

He didn't want to live his whole life in the shadow of the Qiao family, having to be subservient to them.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped Qiao Lanshu's tears:

"Don't cry, Lanshu. I really have a problem. I've let you down this time, I'm so sorry. Just tell me what you want, but please, please don't report me. I worked so hard to get this job, please don't ruin my future, okay?"

Qiao Lanshu glanced at his handkerchief with disdain and didn't take it. She said, "Since we're going to end things, let's end them cleanly. Over the years, my dad has sent you at least eight hundred or a thousand yuan in money and food coupons. Just give me a thousand yuan and the other five hundred yuan in national food coupons, and we'll call it even."

Sun Mingyong: "..."

Sun Mingyong said with a stern face, "One thousand yuan, five hundred grain coupons..."

Qiao Lanshu glared at him: "Don't tell me you're not going to pay me back!"

Qiao Lanshu's eyes are dark and bright, and even when she glares at people, she doesn't seem angry; she's just so adorable.

Sun Mingyong stared intently at her face, swallowed hard, and then said, "No, I mean, I can scrape together a thousand yuan, but five hundred national grain coupons are a bit difficult. I can only give you two hundred national grain coupons and three hundred local grain coupons at most. Do you think that's okay?"

Money is just an external thing. As long as he can keep his job and his marriage doesn't break down, he can earn the money back quickly.

All he needs to do now is keep Qiao Lanshu calm and get her on the train back to the south, and then everything will be fine.

Sun Mingyong immediately said, "Two days from now. Come to the back gate of the Chengbei Food Factory at this time, and I'll give you the money and food coupons, okay?"

Qiao Lanshu nodded: "Okay."

Then she turned and left.

Sun Mingyong wanted to say something to her, but he didn't dare to chase after her.

Qiao Lanshu walked out of the food factory's dormitory area with a sullen face, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.

She was thinking to herself that as soon as she got the money and food coupons, she would immediately write a letter to report Sun Mingyong!

That bastard, he'll never have a good life again!

……

Qiao Lanshu took the sixty yuan she got from Sun Mingyong and bought some daily necessities such as a washbasin, towel, soap, and toothbrush at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Then, she originally wanted to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables, since she hadn't eaten any of these things during her two days in the hospital.

When they arrived, they found that there were hardly any fresh vegetables and fruits at all.

It was all canned goods of all kinds.

She looked worried. She bought a radish and a few potatoes, along with some biscuits and noodles, and left the supply and marketing cooperative carrying them.

On her way back to the guesthouse, she passed by the county textile factory building and saw Qin Yuanzheng accompanying a female textile worker. The woman was also holding a boy's hand, walking along the roadside, and it was unclear where they were going.

This scene seems strangely familiar, doesn't it?

Qiao Lanshu recalled that when she first met Sun Mingyong, it was the same, a harmonious family of three.

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

When she saw Sun Mingyong and his family of three, she felt nothing but anger.

But now, seeing Qin Yuanzheng and his family of three, she felt inexplicably choked up.

Before she could even react, tears started streaming down her face.

Qiao Lanshu wiped her eyes, dejectedly picked up her things, and walked towards the guesthouse.

So, Qin Yuanzheng was not only married at this time, but also had a child?

But Qin Yuanzheng from her past life told her that he had always been unmarried and had never been married.

They have no children.

What exactly is going on?

……

Qin Yuanzheng hadn't actually planned to meet Wang Huiping so soon, but he would pass by the textile factory every day on his way to the headquarters building.

It was a coincidence that I ran into Wang Huiping and her son at the entrance of the textile factory today. Since we met, we walked together for a while and talked for a bit.

My feelings about being with Wang Huiping were actually quite lukewarm; I wouldn't say I liked her, but I wouldn't say I disliked her either.

When the two chatted, Wang Huiping would accommodate him, and the child would be quiet, so everything seemed alright.

But it's just okay.

Qin Yuanzheng took Wang Huiping and her son back to the textile factory, and then went to the mining area to handle some business.

When he returned in the afternoon, he habitually turned towards the hospital and drove to the hospital entrance.

As it turned out, the nurse told him that the little girl had recovered and been discharged from the hospital to go to the guesthouse.

Is it alright for a young girl like her to stay in a guesthouse?

Is it safe?

He frowned and drove to the guesthouse.

Upon arriving at the guesthouse registration desk, I asked the staff, who said, "Comrade, are you looking for Comrade Qiao Lanshu? She's in room 203 on the second floor. Here's your pass, please take it."

Qin Yuanzheng took the pass and was about to go upstairs when the employee suddenly said something else;

"Oh, by the way, that little girl came back crying this afternoon, her eyes were all swollen from crying. When we asked her if something had happened, she wouldn't say anything. You're her friend, right? Why don't you go up and ask her? That poor girl, all alone outside..."

Qin Yuanzheng paused, his face instantly darkening: "She cried?"
