1970s: My childhood sweetheart ran away, and I turned around and married the wildest chief.

Hearing him say that, Qiao Wanqing felt relieved. She didn't know Lu Mingzhou very well, and men are always sensitive to power. She was really worried that this man might be confused and think that she had offended someone!

Hey……

Marriage can be really difficult sometimes. You can't really know if the other person is a good person or a bad one until you've been together for a few years.

"By the way, how's the Bai family doing?"

Lu Mingzhou glanced at her and laughed, "Bai Zhengxiong's hands are too dirty. The Bai family will have to handle a lot of things, and who knows how long this wrangling will last!"

With such a good opportunity, how could he possibly let the Bai family get away with it so easily?

Let them drag this out; the longer it drags on, the greater the damage to the Bai family.

He believed that neither he, nor Chief Jiang, nor Uncle Qiao from Beijing would let the Bai family get away with it so easily.

The situation is currently under Lu Mingzhou's control, so he looked relaxed and took a sip of the fish soup, which tasted incredibly delicious.

"Wife, your cooking is amazing! This fish soup smells so good." He took several sips.

Seeing that he liked it, Qiao Wanqing smiled. How could something with spiritual spring water not taste good?

"Drink more. You've been on the battlefield for so many years, you must not have eaten anything good. I'll make you something nice to nourish you."

After dinner, Lu Mingzhou washed the dishes and took a walk with his wife in the yard to digest their food. He saw that his wife had cleared and planted all the vegetable gardens in the yard. Lu Mingzhou felt again that it was a misconception that he had married a rich girl. What rich girl grows vegetables?

He didn't like the capitalist's daughters who were too pampered and some couldn't see reality. They were arrogant and looked down on others. So after Qiao Wanqing got married, he really hoped that his wife wouldn't be so spoiled. At least after marriage, she would be an adult and should do what adults should do!

Now that his wife is doing so well, he feels sorry for her.

He only asked that things not be too excessive; he didn't think that Qiao Wanqing should suffer after marrying him!

After all, he was raised in such a good environment since childhood, how could he possibly get used to a hard life all of a sudden? He planted vegetables so quickly, is he worried that his salary won't be enough to support his family?

"young married woman!"

"Um?"

"You must be exhausted after digging so much ground. You've never done such heavy work before. We have enough money at home, so don't skimp on the groceries."

Qiao Wanqing was taken aback, looked around the courtyard, and then understood.

She smiled and said, "I'm not worried about not having enough money at home. I just feel it's a waste not to use such a big yard. Besides, it gets too boring to just sit around all day. So I'm going to find something to do. Once the seedlings grow, I'll come and see them every day. It will be very rewarding to watch them grow day by day."

In my past life, I was a busy cow or horse, and what I longed for most was the idyllic life in the countryside. Occasionally, I would take some time to plant a few vegetables on the balcony, and I would check on them several times a day to see if they had grown up.

Now I'm living this kind of life completely, with such a big yard that I don't grow anything.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Lu Mingzhou found it hard to understand, "Growing vegetables can give you a sense of accomplishment?"

His family grows it every year, but they never seem to feel any sense of accomplishment.

Seeing his expression, Qiao Wanqing guessed what he was thinking and said helplessly, "Is planting something to cultivate your mind when you're bored the same as planting something to fill your stomach? Is reading a book to pass the time the same as studying hard before an exam?"

Lu Mingzhou: "..."

That's definitely different!

"Since you like it, then go ahead and plant it. Just don't overwork yourself. All the money in the house is yours, so don't worry about not having enough money in the future. I'm still young, and I'll get promoted in the future. If you're worried about not having enough money to raise more children in the future, then... I'll go home and ask my parents for money. They have high salaries, so they'll definitely help me out."

Qiao Wanqing: "..."

You are such a filial son!

Lu Mingzhou wasn't worried about not having enough money at home. After all, he had given Qiao Wanqing tens of thousands of yuan in savings, and there were some gold bars he had hidden in his hometown. In addition, the Qiao family gave him a dowry of 20,000 yuan, which was enough for the young couple to live on. Even if they had ten or eight children in the future, they wouldn't be short of money.

Besides, the Qiao and Xu families are such large families, he guessed that the dowry given to Qiao Wanqing should be more than 20,000. He had seen what kind of life capitalists lived a few years ago when they were not in trouble. Although the Qiao family went abroad, they were not purged. Logically speaking, they should have some wealth.

I guess they're wary of him. Maybe they haven't even given her their wife yet, and they're worried she'll be deceived by him.

Lu Mingzhou could understand this. If his daughter had married into such a family, he would have been wary. Apart from the initial risks, after dealing with Bai Zhengxiong, he had gotten a great deal by marrying this wife!

Lu Mingzhou looked at his wife with a happy smile, walked over and kissed her, "Come on, let's go back inside."

Qiao Wanqing was startled. What's wrong with this guy? It's not even completely dark yet!

While the two were deeply in love, the atmosphere at the Sun family's house up ahead was far less pleasant.

Sun Xiaoqin was beaten today, and the worst part was that it was her own mother who beat her. She felt incredibly aggrieved and directed all her hatred towards Qiao Wanqing.

"Big brother, what do we do now? Lu Mingzhou got married, what am I supposed to do? Some people in our compound know I was going to marry Lu Mingzhou, and now that he's suddenly married, how am I supposed to face anyone?!"

Sun Xiaoqin loves to show off, and with what her older brother told her and her mother's brainwashing, she thought Lu Mingzhou was already hers, but now things have turned out like this.

Brigade Commander Sun's face was also not good. He was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. He had been in the army for nearly thirty years and considered himself to be much more senior than Lu Mingzhou. When Lu Mingzhou came to him, he could only obediently act as a junior. But today, his wife had openly embarrassed his mother and sister.

Lately, everything has been going wrong, and Brigade Commander Sun looked very unhappy.

He's getting old, and it'll be difficult for him to climb any higher in his career. He'll probably have to leave the military when he reaches a certain age, since the people below him are waiting for him to be promoted.

He knew his career might have reached its limit, so he naturally wanted to find a new breakthrough. Lu Mingzhou was young, but he was on the same level as him. He thought about marrying his sister to him so that his family could have someone to help them in the future. Lu Mingzhou didn't have any burdens yet, and with his high salary, he could even use it to subsidize the Sun family.

Unfortunately, when he brought it up with Lu Mingzhou before, he refused.

He's so ungrateful! Does he think he's something special just because he's young? He's more experienced than him, and marrying his sister to him is a favor to him, yet this bastard refuses.

Not only did they get married, but the person they married was none other than Qiao Wanqing.

That's the person he's set his sights on.
