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

Chu Liangjun overheard what Qiao Lanshu and Liu Weihong were saying, and he thought to himself, "Women really do love money."

Back in his village, he was looked down upon because his family was poor.

He finally managed to get a matchmaker to introduce him to some girls, but they all complained that his family wasn't rich and that he was poor.

Chu Liangjun was indeed poor, and he had no choice. It was precisely because he had no choice that he was even more furious.

He's now working in the city thanks to his uncle's connections, but the city girls are even more materialistic; they immediately ask for cashmere coats and leather shoes.

This set costs over a hundred yuan; which ordinary person can afford it?

Chu Liangjun thought of the soldiers who were with Qiao Lanshu. He wondered to himself, "Can soldiers afford to buy this?"

Liu Weihong was in a hurry to deliver the biscuits and canned goods. She stood there, looking at Qiao Lanshu with a mocking expression, and said, "How about it, regretting it now? Don't think that those officers are rich. Their salary is at most a hundred yuan, most of them only earn a few dozen yuan. How can they afford these things? But it's too late for you to regret it now. You'll just have to watch others wear them from now on."

With that, Liu Weihong turned and walked away quickly.

There was nothing she could do; Qiao Lanshu was in a heated room, sheltered from the cold wind, so of course she wasn't cold.

However, Liu Weihong was already dressed lightly, and in order to show off, she deliberately strolled around in front of Qiao Lanshu a few times, until her hands and feet were almost numb with cold.

No, she has to go back and have a serious talk with her boyfriend, and ask him to buy her a fur coat to keep warm.

But that thing is expensive; it costs more than a coat. I don't know if the other party would be willing to buy it for him.

Liu Weihong pondered for a moment, then hurriedly left.

Chu Liangjun waited on the side for a while, and as soon as Liu Weihong left, he came over.

Qiao Lanshu had already seen him; she had locked the door to the small house, and as soon as she saw him arrive, she prepared to close the window.

Chu Liangjun reached out and stopped her, pressing against the window, his gaze fixed intently on her. He said, "What? You close the window as soon as you see me? Am I that unwelcome to you?"

As he spoke, he took the canned food out of his pocket and placed it on the windowsill, saying, "I bought this especially for you. Do you like it?"

Qiao Lanshu felt disgusted whenever she saw him.

She remembered the scar on his face very clearly, though she had almost forgotten most of her memories of the cave dwelling.

Qiao Lanshu simply left the window open, sat inside, picked up a book and started reading, completely ignoring him.

Chu Liangjun was clever; he knew how to avoid being held accountable. So, he deliberately asked, "Our supply and marketing cooperative needs bread and pickles the day after tomorrow. Do you have enough stock in your warehouse? Have you prepared the goods for us in advance?"

Qiao Lanshu: "It's ready. Is there anything else?"

Chu Liangjun looked at Qiao Lanshu and asked again, "Do you like that coat and leather shoes?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Lanshu glanced at him and sneered, "I also like watches and radios. What, are you going to buy me one? How much do you earn a month? How dare you ask such questions?"

As she spoke, she closed the window.

Chu Liangjun has a strong sense of pride. He couldn't stand Qiao Lanshu looking at him with such disdain, let alone speaking to him in such a condescending tone.

However, Chu Liangjun couldn't get angry at Qiao Lanshu's face.

Qiao Lanshu was destined to be his woman; he had a strong premonition about it.

Once he gets his hands on Qiao Lanshu, he'll have to teach this woman a lesson.

He stared at Qiao Lanshu and said in a low voice, "Since you like it, I'll buy it for you. You just wait."

With that, he turned and left.

As soon as Qiao Lanshu saw him leave, she immediately closed the window.

She sat nervously in the chair, her heart pounding and her body covered in cold sweat.

Although she knew that they were in the warehouse of the food factory, Chu Liangjun dared not and could not do anything to her.

But she was terrified of him. Seeing the scars on his face and hearing his voice filled her with fear and disgust.

Qiao Lanshu looked at the canned fruit on the windowsill, suddenly got up, picked up the can, and was about to throw it into the trash can.

However, at the crucial moment, she paused again.

This canned food was produced in a food factory, and it's not cheap.

Most people only buy one or two cans during the Lunar New Year, so it would be a waste to throw them away.

She put the can back on the table, even though she didn't want to eat it herself, but she could give it to someone else.

Qiao Lanshu opened her notebook, which contained the name Chu Liangjun. Next to his name were the names of the supply and marketing cooperative director, his wife, and his brother.

She wrote down what she knew and wondered who Chu Liangjun would borrow money from.

Or, where would he go to steal the money?

……

When Qiao Lanshu went to the cafeteria for lunch, she gave the canned oranges that Chu Liangjun had brought for her to Wang Xue.

Wang Xue has two children, so it's fine to share the food with them; she can't just throw the canned food away.

Wang Xue looked at the canned oranges she was offered and said, "Oh my, these are produced in our factory, they're really expensive. You can keep them for yourself, why are you giving them to me?"

Qiao Lanshu was a little embarrassed. She and Wang Xue were very straightforward, so she said directly, "Sister, please don't be disgusted. This canned food was a gift from someone. I really dislike him and don't want to eat his food, but it would be a waste to throw it away, so I thought of giving it away."

Wang Xue was initially hesitant to accept the can, but upon hearing her words, she immediately took it and asked with a smile, "Oh, is that so? Then if there's anything you don't want in the future, feel free to give it to me, I won't mind."

Canned food is a good thing, Wang Xue said. "You have guts. If it were me, I would eat it even if it was given to me by my enemy."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

While eating, Wang Xue said, "Xiao Qiao, could you come with me somewhere later?"

After lunch, there is still more than half an hour for a lunch break.

Qiao Lanshu usually goes back to read books or something.

But since Wang Xue had asked that, she inquired, "Where are we going?"

Wang Xue finished the bowl of dumpling soup in two gulps, then lowered her voice and said:

"I have a cousin who sells tickets at the train station. She's quite pretty. A while ago, someone asked her out, buying her food and drinks every day, being incredibly generous. My cousin slowly started to like him. But then, after only two days, someone came to her and said that the man has a wife and children in the countryside! I have to go to the textile factory next door today to ask him what's going on with that man!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Lanshu was immediately surprised: "That man already has a wife and children in the countryside? Then why is he still sending things to your sister?"

Wang Xue sneered, "Who knows? Just being a jerk!"

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Wang Xue's cousin has been working here for several years, and her family doesn't live here, so Wang Xue is asked to take care of her cousin.

Wang Xue originally wanted to find a good partner for her cousin. She had been questioning Company Commander Yang to see if he would take a liking to her cousin.

And now, this has happened.

The key point is that she only just found out about this herself; her sister felt ashamed and didn't dare tell her before.

Qiao Lanshu followed Wang Xue out of the back gate of the food factory. Two streets later, they arrived at the textile factory.

Qiao Lanshu asked in a low voice, "Why would your sister suddenly tell you this? Did something happen?"

Wang Xue nodded. As soon as she came out, she looked around and found a stick as thick as an arm. She said to Qiao Lanshu, "My sister doesn't want to date him anymore, but he won't let her. He's been pestering her and is even interfering with her work. These days, jobs are hard to find. If he makes my sister lose her job, I'll beat him to death!"

Qiao Lanshu stared in shock at the stick in Wang Xue's hand, swallowing hard. "Sister, what are you going to do with that stick?"

Wang Xue: "Don't worry, if he speaks properly, I definitely won't hit him."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

To be honest, Wang Xue is quite tall, slightly chubby, and has a loud voice.

In a fight, some men might not be a match for her.

This was the first time Qiao Lanshu had encountered such a situation, and she was a little worried that Wang Xue would get into a fight with someone.

The two of them arrived near the textile factory. At this time, there were quite a few people coming and going from the factory gate.

Wang Xue went directly to the guardhouse at the main gate of the textile factory and asked the uncle inside, "Comrade, I'm looking for Liu Jianguo."

Hearing this, the uncle in the guardhouse said through the window, "Liu Jianguo has taken leave and won't be at the factory this afternoon."

Wang Xue's face darkened: "He took leave? What did he do on leave?"

The older man in the guardhouse said, "How would I know what he went out for? He probably went to see his girlfriend. Everyone knows he just started dating someone."

Wang Xue: "..."

Wang Xue was furious. She turned around and left, saying to Qiao Lanshu, "That bastard probably went to find my sister. I have to go to the train station to find him."

Qiao Lanshu knew where the train station was; it was diagonally opposite the headquarters building of the Production and Construction Corps.

She quickly pulled Wang Xue back and said to her, "Sister, don't be impulsive. The train station is quite far, and we can't walk there in time. Why don't we go back to the factory to ask for leave and then take the bus?"

Wang Xue was just so angry that she lost her mind.

Hearing Qiao Lanshu say this, she quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, I almost forgot, we need to go back to the factory first."

The two hurriedly returned to the food factory.

Qiao Lanshu agreed to accompany Wang Xue and naturally took leave from work. The two spent two cents to take the bus and headed straight for the train station.

Today, Qin Yuanzheng also happened to drive to the headquarters for a meeting.

Staff Officer Lin stood outside the headquarters, smoking a cigarette. When he looked up, he saw Qiao Lanshu and Wang Xue getting off a nearby bus, crossing the road, and entering the train station.

Staff Officer Lin: "..."

The cigarette in his mouth fell out.

No, what urgent matter could you possibly need to go to the train station in broad daylight?

With that thought in mind, he quickly ran into the headquarters building.

Qin Yuanzheng was in Commander Li's office, having a meeting with other officers.

Staff Officer Lin paced back and forth outside the office, extremely anxious.

Staff Officer Lin's footsteps were so clear that Commander Li took a sip of water and shouted impatiently, "Which bastard is out there? Get in here!"

The guards at the door quickly opened the door and invited Staff Officer Lin inside.

Qin Yuanzheng frowned when he saw Lin Yucheng and asked, "Didn't I tell you to go back to the mining area on business? Why are you back again?"

In front of Commander Li and a group of division and regimental-level officers, Lin Yucheng said, "Reporting to the regimental commander, I just saw your wife go to the train station across the street. It's broad daylight, and I'm afraid she might sneak off on the train, so I came to let you know!"

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Commander Li stroked his chin and said with schadenfreude, "This girl from the south ate ten pounds of my rice and ten pounds of sweet potatoes, and now she wants to run away? But then again, her hometown is thousands of kilometers away. She can't get used to living and eating here, and the man doesn't know how to take care of her, right? It would be strange if she didn't run away."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

The other officers in the office started asking, "Hey? Xiao Qin, we've heard you got married. Did you just snatch him away? We're the People's Liberation Army; we don't do things like kidnapping brides."

Commander Li said slowly, "I don't know if he robbed him or not, but he carried the person back from the hospital by himself."

"Hiss! Is that so? Commander Li, that's really wrong of you. Why didn't you stop him in the first place?"

Commander Li laughed and said, "He's such a big guy, like a bull, how could I possibly stop him?"

"Oh dear, could that girl have been forced by Xiao Qin? She usually doesn't dare to resist, but today he was in a meeting and couldn't get away, so she hurriedly ran to the train station to escape?"

Commander Li nodded, looking profound, and said, "It's hard to say, hard to say! After all, most young girls can't stand Xiao Qin's bad temper."

As Staff Officer Lin listened to the teasing from the crowd and looked at Qin Yuanzheng's face, cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Qin Yuanzheng stood up with a serious expression. He glanced at Staff Officer Lin, then said to Commander Li, "Sir, I have urgent family matters to attend to and need to leave for an hour. I request that Lin Yucheng attend the meeting in my place and convey the meeting's message!"

Commander Li waved his hand and said earnestly, "Go, go. Talk things out calmly. Be gentle with the young lady. If she wants to leave, don't stop her. Everything should be based on the young lady's wishes, understand?"

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng's face was dark and gloomy. He said, "Understood, sir! I'm off then."

With that, he immediately turned around and strode out of the office.

As soon as he left, the people in the office burst into laughter.

Lin Yucheng was stunned. These leaders usually seemed quite serious, but they could be quite ruthless when they joked about their own people.

It was only because of their high rank that Qin Yuanzheng dared not retaliate.

If this were in his group, a bunch of people would have been beaten to a pulp by him long ago.

Qin Yuanzheng hurriedly came out of the headquarters building.

I strode across the road and headed towards the train station.

Isn't his wife at work? Why is she heading to the train station?

Could it be that she can't stand him anymore and really wants to sneak back to Guangzhou?
