The woman speaking was the same woman who had given Jiang Linwan the first medication. She seemed a little flustered at the moment: "Back then, when Lu Tuan's wife saw that we were all seasick, she gave us seasickness medicine for free."
The old woman ran over and demanded that Lu Tuan's wife give her all the medicine, saying that her son was a high-ranking leader and that if they didn't get the medicine, they would be in big trouble...
Li Zhiqiang's face grew increasingly dark.
Then another elderly woman stepped forward: "I can also testify."
"Me too."
"I can too." Even the little child looked at Zhang Daya with disgust.
"Hiss~ This isn't asking for things, it's blatant robbery." The crowd that had previously spoken up for Zhang Daya suddenly turned against her.
Li Zhiqiang felt dizzy and disoriented. How could he have been so foolish as to listen to his mother's utter nonsense again?
Hearing those people speaking up for Jiang Linwan again, Zhang Daya instantly became furious and embarrassed: "How can you people be so heartless?"
They were just speaking up for me, but now they've changed their minds.
"Commander Lu, I'm sorry, I'll come to apologize in person later." Li Zhiqiang said, pulling his mother along as they headed home.
Lu Qiyue's icy voice came from behind: "No need for an apology. I will report this matter truthfully to your political commissar."
Li Zhiqiang stumbled, wanting to plead for leniency, but remembering the foolish thing he had just done, he moved his mouth but ultimately said nothing, only praying that his superiors would forgive him later.
"Thank you all, sisters-in-law and aunties, for witnessing for me," Jiang Linwan said sincerely.
Song Manru stood there awkwardly, her previous righteous demeanor completely gone. Now, all she felt for Lu Qiyue was embarrassment and hatred towards Jiang Linwan.
"Uncle Qiyue, can my mom and I have dinner with you?" Song Zixuan looked at Song Manru and then at Lu Qiyue.
"You can, but Comrade Song, I'm already married. We should avoid any appearance of impropriety." Lu Qiyue didn't directly point out her status as a widow.
Several military wives around them burst out laughing. Song Manru, a widow, dressed up like a peacock every day, which disgusted many women in the family compound.
But every time the men saw Song Manru's smiling face, they would get dizzy and go back to tell her that she was a widow with a child, how could she have so many thoughts?
They were left with no way to express their grievances.
Seeing Song Manru's face turn pale and then red, everyone felt a sense of satisfaction.
"Qiyue, the child is too young to understand, so we won't disturb your newlywed bliss." She said, suppressing her resentment, and quickly left with her son.
Lu Qiyue glanced at Jiang Linwan: "I'm not familiar with her."
Jiang Linwan responded, feeling a pang of regret. It was bad enough that such a beautiful woman was widowed at such a young age, but how could she die so soon?
"You're not angry, are you?"
"Huh? Why am I angry?" Jiang Linwan was completely confused.
Seeing that she had no reaction at all, Lu Qiyue felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He suppressed his irritation and took her to the cafeteria.
In the afternoon, Lu Qiyue took her around the family compound, introduced her to the island family service center and the shopping shuttle bus, and then took her to the stalls of local fishermen on the island.
Jiang Linwan couldn't tear herself away from the various seafood. Lu Qiyue said, "The seafood here is mostly leftovers from this morning and isn't very fresh. If you like it, I'll have Xiao Zhang buy it for you every morning from now on."
"Okay!" Jiang Linwan nodded. Seeing that she liked it, Lu Qiyue bought her some shrimp and crab. Coincidentally, they also had a grouper, which he brought along as well.
The two of them carried their load of things home and ran into Song Man coming home from work. They were incredibly envious.
"I'll go cook." As soon as she got home, Jiang Linwan hurried into the kitchen, eager to show off her skills.
Lu Qiyue was somewhat surprised: "You can cook?"
"I know a little, but I'm not as good as a master chef. If it's not delicious, Brother Qiyue, you're not allowed to complain," Jiang Linwan said modestly.
She wasn't a housewife for nothing in her past life, so cooking is naturally a piece of cake for her.
"No problem." Lu Qiyue nodded and helped clean the seafood.
Then, squatting down to start a fire, Jiang Linwan put on an apron and began cooking.
She simply boiled the shrimp to remove any fishy smell, steamed some of the crab, and made a soup with the rest of the crab and tofu.
Next comes braised grouper, served with steamed white rice, and dinner is ready.
The aroma hits your nose as soon as it's served. The braised crab is bright red and oily, with the crab roe melted into the broth. The rich seafood fragrance is irresistible. The crab meat and roe are smooth, fresh, and delicious. Just looking at it makes your mouth water.
"Alright, wash your hands and eat." Jiang Linwan took the apron.
Lu Qiyue couldn't help but swallow as he smelled the aroma, his gaze quietly settling on the table filled with the aroma of cooking.
The person was pulled out of the house and brought to the washbasin.
In the past, he was the only one who ate communal meals in the cafeteria. Now, seeing her busy, Lu Qiyue's quiet corner, which had been deserted for many years, was filled with her small figure. For the first time, he was full of expectations for the future.
As soon as she sat down, Jiang Linwan handed her a bowl and chopsticks. Lu Qiyue took the bowl and chopsticks and filled a large bowl with rice for her.
Jiang Linwan shook her head, saying, "I can't finish it."
"It's okay, I'll eat the rest." Lu Qiyue picked up his chopsticks, naturally picked up a plump shrimp from the plate, deftly peeled off the shell with his fingertips, and put the clean, white shrimp meat into her bowl.
A simple sentence made Jiang Linwan's heart soften suddenly, and her cheeks blushed slightly as she felt a little embarrassed.
She lowered her eyes, looking at the plump shrimp meat in the bowl, without a single shrimp shell or impurity. The unique sweetness of seafood lingered around her nose, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.
Qi Yue is completely different from Lu Chengyu. In her past life, Lu Chengyu and Yao Lamei would only find fault with her, complaining that she ate too much, wasted food, did too little work, and was a burden.
Despite his high position, Brother Qiyue was willing to humble himself and accept her, patiently peeling shrimp for her and giving her the most tender and affectionate favors.
Her heart ached yet burned with emotion. All the grievances and coldness of her past life were gradually soothed and melted away by this warm meal and by Brother Qiyue's silent favoritism.
She also wanted to be good to Qi Yue, and she was determined to cure Qi Yue's impotence so that people would know that her Qi Yue was the best and most outstanding.
"Brother Qiyue, you should eat too." Jiang Linwan picked up a piece of braised grouper with her chopsticks and handed it to his bowl.
After dinner, Lu Qiyue insisted on washing the dishes, reasoning that since she was the one who cooked, he should be the one to wash the dishes and not let her get tired.
Jiang Linwan felt warm inside. Back in the room, looking at the large bed, she felt a little uneasy.
But considering that the two of them are married, they are officially husband and wife, so it is only right that they sleep in the same bed.
Hearing footsteps at the door, Jiang Linwan's heart jumped into her throat. The footsteps gradually disappeared, but no one came in. Suspicious, she stood up and left the room.
She saw Lu Qiyue in the opposite room, and Lu Qiyue also saw her, looking somewhat uneasy: "I'll sleep in this room."
Jiang Linwan felt inexplicably lost, but thinking about Qi Yue's current condition, she quickly felt relieved and became even more determined to cure Qi Yue's illness as soon as possible.
