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

The coat that Chu Liangjun sent last time is still on the shelf in Qiao Lanshu's office.

However, last time, Chu Liangjun didn't come; he had a salesperson from the department store deliver it to him.

This time, he delivered it himself.

Qiao Lanshu knew Chu Liangjun fairly well; he was a bad person at heart.

Back in the village, he did plenty of petty theft and harassment of women.

Now that he's in the city, his true nature is even more evident.

He is more likely to go to extremes, especially when provoked.

In her past life, Qiao Lanshu was tormented by him for two years; he was Qiao Lanshu's nightmare.

Qiao Lanshu had been putting up with him all this time, just to see what he would do to get closer to her.

Chu Liangjun handed over the gift box, and Qiao Lanshu said disdainfully, "You think you have money to buy me things? I don't care for ordinary stuff."

Chu Liangjun stared at Qiao Lanshu's face. With such a face, even if she said the most cutting things, Chu Liangjun couldn't get angry with her.

He was only thinking that once he succeeded, he would teach her a lesson and show her that she shouldn't look down on people.

He blocked Qiao Lanshu's path, looking at her and saying, "Why don't you open it and see?"

Qiao Lanshu then took the box, opened it, and saw that it contained a Shanghai brand ladies' watch with a movement.

Chu Liangjun stared intently at her and asked, "So, what do you think? Do you like it?"

Qiao Lanshu handed the watch back: "This is too valuable, I don't want it, you can take it back."

Chu Liangjun was thinking that once Qiao Lanshu took his things, he could use that to ask her to be his girlfriend.

If she refuses, he threatens to report her for having illicit relationships and using their relationship to swindle money from him.

He had already planned everything in his mind, so of course he wouldn't ask for the things he had given away back. He took a few steps back and said with a smile, "Since I gave them to you, there's no reason to take them back. You can take them home. I'm leaving now."

He said that, then turned and strode away.

After walking a distance, he took out two department store receipts from his pocket.

One is an order form for a cashmere coat, and the other is an order form for a watch movement that was just delivered.

He looked at the two forms in his hand and gave a cold smile.

When I gave away the watch, people around were watching. Last time, the coat was delivered by a salesperson from a department store.

He planned to report Qiao Lanshu to the food factory tomorrow, accusing her of engaging in capitalism, being vain, and using the guise of dating to cheat him out of his things. He figured the food factory would definitely fire her because of the impact.

By then, Qiao Lanshu's reputation will be ruined. Whenever people talk about her, they will think of her, and no one will dare to date her. Even if she gets married, she will be looked down upon. Then, he will ask his cousin, who is the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, to find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage.

If that doesn't work, he'll trick Qiao Lanshu into coming out, then kidnap her and take her home. Anyway, everyone knows she cheated him out of his money, so no one will care if she becomes his wife.

With these thoughts in mind, Chu Liangjun was already eagerly awaiting tomorrow.

What he didn't expect was that Qiao Lanshu was also plotting against him.

Qiao Lanshu watched Chu Liangjun run away laughing, and she knew that Chu Liangjun had no good intentions.

As it was getting dark, she thought she would take the watch back to the office and put it there before going to buy groceries and going home to cook for Qin Yuanzheng, who had an injured arm.

When she returned to the food factory, she saw Wang Xue also hurrying out.

Wang Xue hadn't seen Qiao Lanshu for the past few days, and now that she did, she immediately ran over, asking with concern, "Little Qiao, I've been so busy today that I haven't had a chance to come see you. I heard your husband was injured? How is he? Is he badly hurt?"

Qiao Lanshu had no choice but to stand there and chat with Wang Xue for a while; "It's just that my arm is injured, and I'm resting. I can't do strenuous exercise to prevent the wound from reopening."

Hearing this, Wang Xue frowned and said, "Given the physical condition of soldiers, they still need to rest for so many days. It seems the wound is quite deep, right? Did they need stitches?"

Qiao Lanshu nodded: "It took seven or eight stitches, and it's almost healed in the last few days."

Because Qin Yuanzheng was a military officer and the matter involved the military's mining area, Qiao Lanshu dared not say much.

Wang Xue knew that these things shouldn't be inquired about casually, and once she knew that Qin Yuanzheng was alright, she stopped asking.

She then said to Qiao Lanshu with a cheerful smile, "By the way, Qiao, after what you told us last time, didn't we go to the police station to report the case together? That very night, Liu Jianguo really went to find Haitang. Haitang didn't want to talk to him, so he followed her all the way. When we got out of the train station and passed through an alley, Liu Jianguo started to grope her and dragged her into the alley."

It was already evening, the weather was cold, and there were no pedestrians on the road.

Seeing that Wang Haitang was ignoring him, Liu Jianguo knew there was no hope of reconciliation, so he dragged Wang Haitang into the alley, intending to force himself on her, since Wang Haitang wouldn't dare to tell anyone anyway.

Fortunately, Wang Xue and Qiao Lanshu had informed the police in advance, and the police arranged for a young policeman to patrol the train station. Wang Xue's husband also stayed hidden and followed them.

So when Liu Jianguo first tried to force himself on Wang Haitang, he was caught red-handed!

Liu Jianguo had previously claimed to be dating Wang Haitang, so the police couldn't do anything about him.

But now, he was caught by the police for pulling and tugging at a woman in the street and trying to force himself on her. He was immediately tied up and taken to the police station.

Throughout the journey, he kept protesting his innocence, saying that he was simply dating normally.

Nobody listened to him at all.

Because of this, Wang Haitang breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Xue was also overjoyed.

She said to Qiao Lanshu, "Little Qiao, your cousin-in-law is treating us to dinner tomorrow night. Why don't you come along?"

Deng Xiaozhen had specially arranged for Deng Weijun and Wang Haitang to meet.

We were supposed to meet a couple of days ago, but Liu Jianguo was arrested and Wang Haitang had to cooperate with the police investigation, so it was postponed for a few days.

The two young people haven't met yet, but it seems that their older sisters are quite satisfied with each other.

Qiao Lanshu smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll definitely come then."

Wang Xue nodded, and seeing that it was getting late, said, "I have to go now, do you want to come with me?"

Qiao Lanshu hesitated for two seconds before shaking her head and saying, "No, sister, you go first. I have some things to take care of."

Wang Xue: "Okay, see you tomorrow."

With that, Wang Xue hurriedly left.

By this time, most of the food factory workers had left.

Qiao Lanshu returned to her office, took out her key to open the door, walked to the shelf, and first placed the watch gift box she was holding next to the cashmere coat.

However, she remained silent for a few seconds and then thought about it again.

She remembered that Chu Liangjun was a very impatient person.

He acts impulsively and uses insidious methods. Since he has already given me a cashmere coat, he has now given me a watch with a movement. These two items together cost almost three hundred yuan.

That's already ten months' salary for an average worker.

If he were to turn around and claim that the high price was a bride price for her, and then force her to marry him, that would be a real problem.

Qiao Lanshu must take the initiative.

With that thought in mind, she picked up her cashmere coat and watch, locked the office door, and hurriedly left the food factory.

Qiao Lanshu did not go to the supply and marketing cooperative, since Chu Liangjun must be there at that time.

She arrived near the staff dormitory building of the supply and marketing cooperative and waited there for a long time.

At this time, people have already started to come home from get off work.

Qiao Lanshu looked at each of them one by one, but didn't see the person she was looking for.

As darkness fell, Qiao Lanshu grew anxious. She thought to herself that if she hadn't seen him by around six o'clock, she would go home.

She was mainly worried that Qin Yuanzheng would be concerned.

Qin Yuanzheng had originally said he would come to pick her up, but she refused.

After all, Qin Yuanzheng's arm was injured and he couldn't drive. She was afraid that if she asked him to walk to pick her up, she would hurt his wound.

After all, it's cold now. He has to put on clothes when he goes out and take them off when he gets home. What if he tears open the wound while doing all that?

Qiao Lanshu was thinking about Qin Yuanzheng and didn't want to wait any longer. Just as she was about to leave, she saw a slightly overweight middle-aged man in a coat approaching from afar with a tall, thin woman carrying a vegetable basket.

Behind them were their three daughters, who were in elementary school.

That's right, this person is Chu Liangjun's cousin, Chu Haiming, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Chu Haiming was in his forties. After getting married, he had three daughters in a row.

This made him, who had always wanted a son, somewhat depressed.

He once thought of adopting Chu Liangjun and making him his son.

However, Chu Liangjun had a terrible reputation in the village. He was a petty thief, always getting into fights, and was a scoundrel.

Chu Haiming's wife, Niu Weifang, strongly disagreed.

Chu Haiming had no choice but to settle for second best and bring Chu Liangjun to work in the city, hoping to support Chu Liangjun and perhaps rely on him for his retirement in the future.

After all, Chu Liangjun had no parents and no elders to take care of him, right?

Chu Haiming's plan was quite good, but what he never expected was that Chu Liangjun would steal from the village.

Now, he's actually stealing from him.

When the family of five reached the gate of the compound, a little girl wearing a military green cotton-padded jacket and a red scarf stopped them.

This person was none other than Qiao Lanshu.

Qiao Lanshu looked at them and politely asked, "Hello, you must be Director Chu from the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Chu Haiming and Niu Weifen exchanged a glance and nodded. Niu Weifen looked at Qiao Lanshu warily and asked, "He is... who are you? What do you want with him?"

Qiao Lanshu immediately brought over what she was holding and showed it to Niu Weifen, who looked troubled and said:

"Here's the thing, these past few days, a man named Chu Liangjun has been harassing me. He keeps waiting for me at the gate of our factory. I ignore him, but he keeps bringing me things. I tell him I don't want them, but he just puts them down and runs away, forcing me to accept them. These things are too valuable, how can I accept them?"

As she spoke, she placed the item in Niu Weifen's hand and said to her:

"Sister-in-law, look at this! This cashmere coat alone costs tens of yuan, and this watch is even more expensive—it's a Shanghai brand, and it even has a movement. I think it costs around two hundred yuan, right? He's just a temporary worker, where does he get so much money to buy things? I'm worried..."

She deliberately paused, then quickly continued:

"Besides, I'm already married. My husband is a soldier in the military. His clinging to me is considered breaking up a military marriage. I only came to talk to you privately because he doesn't know about it; the military doesn't know about this yet. You should go back and persuade him."

After handing the items to Niu Weifen, Qiao Lanshu noticed the look of surprise and uncertainty on Niu Weifen's face. He then said to Chu Haiming, "Director Chu, it's getting late, so I'll be leaving now. Please talk to your nephew and tell him not to come looking for me at the food factory again."

With that, Qiao Lanshu quickly ran away.

The main reason was that it was getting dark, and she was worried that Qin Yuanzheng would worry if she went back too late.

Niu Weifen turned her head and looked at Chu Haiming with a surprised and uncertain expression.

Chu Haiming was also shocked. He stood there for a long time before finally saying, "So the girl that kid said he wanted to pursue was a military wife?"

Niu Weifen looked at Chu Haiming, and suddenly handed the vegetable basket in her hand to her daughter next to her. Then, she picked up the cashmere coat and looked at it over and over.

It's confirmed, it's a genuine cashmere coat, it even has a department store logo on it.

She stuffed the cashmere coat back into the bag, took out the box containing the watch, and opened it.

A beautiful and exquisite women's watch lies quietly in the box.

Niu Weifen murmured, "I wouldn't even buy such an expensive watch, yet he bought it so casually and gave it away so easily..."

As Niu Weifen spoke, she suddenly stared at Chu Haiming and questioned him on the spot: "Chu Haiming! How much money did you give him without telling me?"

Niu Weifen was furious: "After you lent him fifty yuan last time, you promised me you wouldn't give him any more money. It's only been a few days, and you've already given him two hundred yuan?"

The price of this watch, if you have a receipt, is 180 yuan.

Without a ticket, it would cost over two hundred.

In comparison, this coat, which costs only a few dozen yuan, seems cheap.

Chu Haiming was stunned. He quickly explained, "No, no, no! I really didn't give him any money! Besides, he hasn't come back since he last came to our house to borrow money. I'm busy with work, so I haven't gone to the vehicle team to look for him."

Chu Haiming looked at the enraged Niu Weifen and said to her, "Besides, I handed over my entire salary this month to you. Don't you know how much money I have?"

Hearing him say that, Niu Weifen wasn't so angry anymore, but she still asked, "Where did he get so much money? Did he steal it again?"

Chu Haiming's expression also turned serious, after all, Chu Liangjun had a criminal record.

He hesitated and said, "It shouldn't be that bad, right? He promised me he wouldn't steal anymore..."

Niu Weifen seemed to be thinking of something, and she hurriedly walked home.

As she walked, she said, "I haven't checked the money at home in a long time. Could he have stolen it?"

She keeps several hundred yuan in a drawer at home for daily expenses.

But she hasn't checked on it for several days, so it should still be there, right?

Chu Haiming was still saying, "Oh, it's not that serious, it really isn't. Chu Liangjun is a decent kid. Even if he wanted to steal, he wouldn't steal our money."

Niu Weifen said fiercely, "If he dares to steal my money, I'll send him to a labor camp!"
