Chapter 236 Love Turns to Hate? Absurd!
"I used to be able to lay two eggs every day, but now I can't even move, let alone lay eggs!"
The frozen chicken she sent wasn't good either; a blackish aura wafted around it. The Goddess of Fertility said that stuff was bad for your health!
Lu Yuan had no doubt and asked, "If we send her things for testing, will they find any problems?"
"No!" Qiao Manman stored the large spotted hen in her spatial storage: "That's the tricky part, we have no evidence!"
Qiao Manman poured herself a glass of juice: "Do you know that you were sent on a mission because Meng Peiyu suddenly vomited blood, which tripped up Commander Chen?"
Lu Yuan nodded.
"I don't know why she vomited blood, but I think she wants you dead!"
"why?"
"Yes, why?" Qiao Manman took a sip of juice: "Because love turned to hate?"
Lu Yuan turned his head and stared at her intently: "Impossible!"
"Don't be so certain. Who can say for sure about love between men and women!"
Lu Yuan lowered his eyes, finding the answer absurd. Yet, he also became more vigilant, knowing he would have to be extremely careful when dealing with Chen Junyan and Meng Peiyu in the future.
The next day, Lu Yuan's wound scabbed over, and people came to visit him one after another. Qiao Manman prepared tea, let them chat briefly, and then saw them off.
When Li Dai, the star performer of the cultural troupe, appeared, the house erupted in excitement. People, whether they knew her or not, all came to watch the show, and they couldn't be driven away.
"Sister-in-law, how have you taken care of Commander Lu! He's so badly injured, and you didn't even suggest taking him to the hospital. What if his condition worsens from staying at home? Or do you want to become a widow!"
"Sister-in-law, have you ever been to school? Do you have a job? Even if we women get married, we can't rely on men to support us! It's wrong for you to depend on Battalion Commander Lu like this and leech off him!"
"I heard that your wife comes from the countryside and has no family connections. Battalion Commander Lu is from Beijing, so naturally he wants to find someone of equal social standing. I don't think you can shoulder the responsibility of being his wife."
Look at how short your marriage has been, and Battalion Commander Lu almost didn't make it back. He didn't complain because he's well-mannered, but as a woman who admires Battalion Commander Lu, I can't accept that he's been dragged down by you!
He needs a good match who can benefit his future!
Qiao Manman: "......"
Excuse me?
"What are you saying? Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?!"
This is outrageous! It's completely unlike the ramblings of a leading figure in the performing arts troupe!
"Comrade Li, I have absolutely no relationship with you. If you continue to spout nonsense, believe me, I'll sue you for defamation."
Qiao Manman took Lu Yuan's hand and patted it twice to comfort him.
She said with a smile, "Comrade Li, Lu Yuan is married. Regardless of your previous relationship, please watch your words!"
"Why, am I wrong?"
Qiao Manman knew that love-struck people were stubborn, so she didn't intend to argue with her.
He casually replied, "Yes, yes, you're right. Here, have some water to soothe your throat!"
Qiao Manman saw her take the enamel mug, take a sip of tea, and say with a smile, "But Lu Yuan doesn't like you. Forcing it will only make you look worse!"
Besides, how can you be sure I won't help him rise to power?
Of course, she didn't say this aloud, for fear of being criticized for it.
Li Dai felt dizzy and nauseous as she watched Qiao Manman's mouth open and close.
I closed my eyes, and the scene from just now flashed through my mind. I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
With the effects of the Tongxin Pill, Li Dai lost her confrontational attitude towards Qiao Manman. She lowered her head and obediently listened to the scolding, like a little quail.
"With someone as outstanding as you, you could have any good man you wanted. I bet someone whispered something unpleasant in your ear and fooled you. You're just a naive young girl!"
Qiao Manman's move was essentially giving Li Dai a way out.
Sure enough, once his mind cleared, the mainstay immediately understood, straightened up, and bowed to Qiao Manman.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, I've been deceived. They said bad things about you, that you were only after money and were clinging to Battalion Commander Lu. I know he's a great hero in the unit, so I came to stand up for him."
Seeing you today and hearing what you said, I realize they were lying. You are clearly a virtuous wife, the most suitable wife for Battalion Commander Lu!
Everyone: "......"
Do you have to change your mind so quickly? It's like playing house!
Qiao Manman nodded: "I know you mean well. But in the future, could we be a little more careful about how we do things?"
If you have anything to say, you can talk to me privately. Don't make a scene and become a laughing stock for everyone!
"I understand, sister-in-law!"
"It's getting late, Lu Yuan needs to rest."
Li Dai stood up, bowed to the two of them, and left with a blush on her face.
Seeing this, the others also pushed and shoved each other to take their leave.
Qiao Manman glanced at the sky and sighed, "I really owe her!"
After getting dressed, he and Lu Yuan caught up with the distraught Li Dai.
"Comrade Li, wait a minute, Lu Yuan and I will see you off!"
"No need, sister-in-law, I'm fine on my own..."
"Let's go! It's so dark. If something happens to you, a young girl like you, how could Lu Yuan and I live with ourselves? Don't run around like that again!"
"Sister-in-law, I heard from them that you are a few months younger than me, how come you talk so maturely?"
"Maybe... he learned it from Lu Yuan!"
Seeing that she didn't make fun of her, Li Dai couldn't help but laugh.
They walked together to the dormitory building and stopped. "Comrade Qiao Manman, you are very different from what I thought. You are gentle, warm, and generous. I think you are more suitable for Battalion Commander Lu than I am."
Li Dai took a deep breath: "I've let it go. I wish you a long and happy life together and many children!"
Qiao Manman noticed the tears in her eyes and nodded, "Thank you, and I wish you find your Mr. Right soon!"
Li Dai waved her hand and jogged upstairs.
Once she was completely out of sight, Qiao Manman and Lu Yuan strolled hand in hand through the snow-covered night.
Snowflakes drifted down, landing on their shoulders.
Qiao Manman stepped on the ground, leaving footprints: "Aren't you going to explain?"
Lu Yuan chuckled: "I didn't pay any attention to what you wrote in your storybooks."
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and went home in silence.
Before going to sleep, I said, "From now on, you're not allowed to flirt with other women!"
Lu Yuan pulled the person into his arms and whispered, "Okay!"
Tonight seemed unusually long. Lu Yuan had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by creaking noises from upstairs.
I thought it would be over in a little while, but the bed creaked and ended up hitting the wall.
Lu Yuan raised his hand to cover his ears, thinking, "Does he have to use so much force? It's like he doesn't have a wife!"
He glanced at Qiao Manman and felt that the people upstairs were laughing at him.
Okay, okay, he's injured and can't do strenuous exercise.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep. Before he knew it, it was dawn, and he looked at his wife with a deeply resentful gaze.
Qiao Manman grinned at him, cooked some dumplings, and went with him to the hospital to visit their wounded comrade.
"Battalion Commander, what brings you here?" Mao Hongyu, with his sharp eyes, spotted Lu Yuan from afar.
He was carrying a thermos in his left hand and holding Qiao Manman's hand with his right. He was wearing a thick cotton-padded coat and a Lei Feng hat.
There were quite a few pieces of white gauze hidden under Lei Feng's hat!
