A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

Ye Wenxi rode his bicycle with Lu Weihua on the back, heading towards the army canteen.

There are two canteens in the military region.

A mess hall for military personnel located deep within the barracks.

There is also a staff canteen near the staff quarters.

Because officers and soldiers make up the vast majority of the population.

The military canteens are larger and offer a wider variety of dishes, especially meat dishes, which are plentiful and plentiful.

Ye Wenxi brought Lu Weihua out to eat, so naturally she wanted her to have a good meal.

Lu Weihua sat in the back seat, looking around the whole way.

He kept making exclamations of "Wow!" and "Ah!"

"This place is much more impressive than our school cafeteria!"

"Second Sister-in-law, look over there! Wow—"

She suddenly lowered her voice and whispered in Ye Wenxi's ear:

"Those pectoral muscles...those pectoral muscles are huge!"

Ye Wenxi's hand, gripping the handlebars, trembled with laughter.

"Hey little girl, where are you looking?"

"Second sister-in-law, that's not right of you!" Lu Weihua said seriously.

"As a woman of the new era and a progressive young person about to enter university, you need to liberate your mind."

"You still know I'm your second sister-in-law?" Ye Wenxi said with a laugh.

"If your brother finds out, I'll be sneaking peeks at other people's pecs with you."

She paused, then lowered her voice:

"He'd tear us both apart."

Lu Weihua chuckled and hugged her waist tightly.

"Then let's keep it quiet and not tell anyone!"

"I'm serious! Look, they'll be gone in a minute!"

"Where?" Ye Wenxi subconsciously turned her head.

"Here! To your left and right, hey, look, that one's not bad either!"

Lu Weihua pressed himself against her back, looking excited:

"Look at his legs! Even wearing those thick military trousers, you can still see the definition!"

"He looks incredibly energetic."

Ye Wenxi couldn't stop smiling.

How can this girl say such outrageous things?

"Alright, we're here!"

Ye Wenxi squeezed the brake to stop the car, bent down to lock it, and said as he locked it:

"I got my稿费 (manuscript fee) today. Don't worry about the money, order whatever you want to eat! Plenty!"

"Okay! I want braised pork!"

"Great! The braised lion's head meatballs here are delicious, and the stewed pork ribs are fragrant too."

"Let's pack more, and take any leftovers home. We can reheat them for dinner."

As expected, the two sisters-in-law were like a bright spot when they entered the canteen, attracting the attention of many officers and soldiers.

"sister in law?!"

Ye Wenxi turned her head and saw Wang Hao carrying several lunch boxes.

He jogged over from the food serving window.

"Sister-in-law, who is this?"

"Hello, my name is Lu Weihua, and I am Lu Weidong's younger sister."

"This is Wang Hao, the company commander under your brother," Ye Wenxi introduced with a smile.

Wang Hao quickly took out twenty yuan in cash from his pocket and handed it back to Ye Wenxi.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I'm late in paying back the money."

"Oh, do you think I'm in a bad way? A couple of days won't make a difference?" Ye Wenxi took it and casually put it in her pocket.

"How was the meal the other day?"

Wang Hao didn't say anything, he just kept chuckling.

He waved the lunchbox in his hand: "Sister-in-law, I have to go now. She's on duty today, so I need to hurry and deliver the food."

"Oh? They've started delivering meals already?" Ye Wenxi raised an eyebrow.

"It's a one-sided effort," Wang Hao said, scratching the back of his head.

"But she didn't refuse, so I thought I'd take it slow."

"Hmm, not bad, keep it up!"

Wang Hao seemed to want to say something more, but his eyes glanced behind Ye Wenxi.

He swallowed the words back, his eyes showing a hint of wariness.

"Sister-in-law, how about I stay with you for a while?" he said in a low voice.

Ye Wenxi turned around in confusion.

Su Ran and several other female soldiers were seen carrying lunch boxes and walking towards them with smiles on their faces.

Ye Wenxi immediately felt a headache coming on.

Looking at his sister-in-law and Wang Hao's expressions, Lu Weihua asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

Ye Wenxi whispered two sentences in her ear.

Lu Weihua's eyes widened slightly, revealing an expression of sudden realization mixed with disgust.

"Wang Hao, go do your own thing and don't get involved in these things."

She pulled Lu Weihua around and said, "Come on, Weihua, let's go get some food."

The two were about to walk to the back of the queue.

"Comrade Ye."

Su Ran's voice came from behind, gentle and polite.

Ye Wenxi didn't stop walking, pretending not to hear.

"Comrade Ye Wenxi."

This time, Su Ran raised her voice.

The crisp sound stood out clearly in the somewhat noisy cafeteria.

Many people around looked over.

Ye Wenxi had no choice but to turn around.

"Comrade Su, is there something you need?"

"Yes, there is something." Su Ran smiled and took a step forward.

"I'd like to order a few pieces of clothing from you?"

She turned to the side, gesturing to the female soldiers behind her:

"Look, I brought all my comrades with me. They all want to have some nice casual clothes made."

Su Ran's gaze fell on Ye Wenxi's face, her tone gentle.

"Shall we talk?"

Ye Wenxi cursed inwardly.

Of course, I can't accept this kind of offer.

Once this precedent is set, who knows if someone will deliberately find fault and nitpick later?

She was just about to find a reason to decline.

The words hadn't even left his mouth.

"Ouch... Ah... Second Sister-in-law!"

Lu Weihua suddenly clutched his stomach, bent over, and frowned deeply.

"I have a stomach ache!"

"Oh? Where does it hurt? Is it serious?" Ye Wenxi quickly helped her up.

"It hurts so much! Quick! Take me to the clinic!" Lu Weihua's voice trembled.

"Okay, sure, we'll go right away! Sorry everyone, let's talk about it another time, we'll be going now!"

Ye Wenxi helped Lu Weihua turn around and leave, her steps hurried and fast.

"Hey—" Su Ran called out from behind.

Ye Wenxi didn't even turn her head.

Lu Weihua grabbed Ye Wenxi's arm, straightened up as soon as they stepped out of the cafeteria, and there was no trace of pain on his face.

"Come on, Second Sister-in-law, let's go somewhere else to get some food and then go home to eat and chat."

She leaned closer to Ye Wenxi and lowered her voice: "Tell me, what exactly did she do before?"

Ye Wenxi: "......."

"You brat, I thought you were really going to help me out, but you were just waiting to hear the gossip?"

"Oh dear, Second Sister-in-law, you've wronged me!" Lu Weihua took her arm.

"I'll definitely help you out of this predicament first, and then find out what's going on!"

The two rode their bicycles to the staff canteen in the residential compound, bought some dishes, and carried them home.

She recounted all the terrible things that had happened since she joined the army to Lu Weihua.

Lu Weihua kept slamming his fist on the table and swearing.

.....

Liushutun, Sanjiang County.

Inside a low, mud-brick house.

Xu the Cripple dragged his crippled leg and pulled out the cigarettes he had rolled from the head of the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Come on, comrade, have a smoke."

Neither Lu Weidong nor Jiang Dayong answered.

Xu the Cripple sheepishly withdrew his hand and put the cigarette in his mouth.

His eyes couldn't help but dart towards the stack of brand-new ten-yuan bills on the kang table.

A thick stack, neatly arranged, I estimate there are at least a thousand of them.

Jiang Dayong spoke up: "Xu the Cripple, now that we've made an agreement, we have to keep our word."

"Although you are Wenxi's nominal adoptive father, you know in your heart how you have treated her all these years."

"Later, they even handed her over to human traffickers."

Xu the Cripple's face turned pale.

"If we really want to talk about it," Jiang Dayong leaned forward.

"Sending you in now is just a matter of whether she'll agree or not."

Xu the Cripple swallowed hard, not daring to utter a sound.

Jiang Dayong pointed to the stack of money.

"So, keep this money safe, and from now on, live your lives in peace. Don't have any more contact with us, and don't ask about us again."

He explained Lu Weidong's meaning clearly, word by word.

Xu the Cripple nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! Don't worry, I'll definitely do it, definitely!"

As he responded, he couldn't help but steal glances at Lu Weidong, who sat silently to the side.

According to the woman surnamed Liu, Ye Wenxi later married a soldier.

He was tall and quite handsome...

The more he looked at him, the more he felt that the silent young man in front of him was probably the real person.

But when these two people came in today, they only said that they were entrusted by Ye Wenxi to settle this old matter and settle the score from now on.

The young officer who was suspected to be the main person in charge did not speak at all; only this man surnamed Jiang spoke.

"Okay, then we're off." Jiang Dayong said, standing up.

The two turned to leave.

I've only taken two steps.

Xu the Cripple couldn't help but ask Lu Weidong from behind:

"Um...is Wenxi with you now?"

Lu Weidong stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around.

He didn't speak, but just looked at Xu the Cripple.

His eyes were filled with coldness, and he exuded a distinct murderous aura.

Xu the Cripple felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at, and instinctively shrank back.

Lu Weidong then spoke, his voice low and cold:

"This is none of your business."

He paused, typing each word clearly in front of Xu the Cripple:

"Remember my words. Never show your face in front of her again in this lifetime."

"otherwise...."

He paused, his gaze lingering for a moment on Xu the Cripple's lame leg:

"You're going to lose even your last good leg."
