Chapter 575 Party 5
Chapter 575 Party 5
"We were able to find each other because you are destined to be siblings. We are all friends. You don't need to say thank you anymore. Don't stand around. Sit down and chat." Fu Ling invited everyone to sit down.
Lu Beichen cut a plate of oranges and brought it over. Fu Ling smiled and recommended it to everyone: "This orange is very sweet, you should try it."
Mrs. Cheng picked up a piece and tasted it, then nodded. "Well, it's really not sour. I'm afraid of sour things. As soon as the girl mentioned orange, my teeth started to feel sour before I even put it in my mouth."
"I can eat sour food. When I was pregnant with our little baby, I was very uncomfortable. My morning sickness was particularly severe. My mother-in-law made me some sour plums. Others' teeth would tremble from the sourness, but I ate them with gusto."
"Haha, people always say sour sons and spicy daughters, and now she has given birth to another fat son."
"Sister-in-law Cheng, I don't think that's true. I didn't feel this bad when I was pregnant with my first child. I could eat, drink, and sleep well, and I even ate a lot of chili peppers. My mother-in-law said it must be a girl and shared her joy with the villagers every day. But it turned out to be a boy, which made my mother-in-law feel very disappointed for a while."
"Really? Your mother-in-law is so cute. She likes her granddaughter? This is really rare. Your mother-in-law must be easy to get along with." Mrs. Cheng was extremely envious.
She was not so lucky and did not meet a good mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law was picky about her from the moment she came into the family and always tried to find fault with her. If she had not married a good husband, her life would have been hopeless long ago.
In addition, the daughter she gave birth to was her first child, which made her even more unkind to her. If Cheng Guohua had not been worried that his wife would be wronged and had not taken leave to take care of her at home, she would have suffered from postpartum illness. Cheng Guohua took care of her meticulously throughout the entire confinement period.
This was not the end. Her mother-in-law always liked to sow discord between the couple. Finally, Cheng Guohua couldn't stand it anymore and sent her back to her hometown.
It was not until her mother-in-law was sent away that Sister Cheng lived a peaceful life for so long.
"Well, my mother-in-law is really good to me. She raised me as her own daughter in the beginning." Jing Jing smiled sweetly, revealing two cute dimples.
"Oh! I really envy you for having a good mother-in-law. Unlike me, I am thankful as long as she doesn't disturb my life." When Mrs. Cheng talked about her mother-in-law, there was an unconcealable loss in her eyes.
Then she briefly talked about the "love-hate relationship" between her and her mother-in-law.
After listening to Sister Cheng, Fu Ling smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so lucky!"
"Sister Ling, how do you say you are so lucky?"
"Sister-in-law, think about it. When your mother-in-law was making things difficult for you, Brother Cheng stood by you without hesitation. No matter how she provoked him, he never changed his mind."
"It's Brother Cheng who wants to spend the rest of your life with you, not your mother-in-law. She's just a passer-by in your life. As long as Brother Cheng's heart is with you, you are the biggest winner."
After hearing this, Mrs. Cheng suddenly understood. She slapped her thigh and said, "That's right! Why didn't I think about it this way? Sister, you are right. I will never think about her again. She is just a passer-by in my life. If we can get along, we will get along. If not, we will just stay away from her."
Mrs. Cheng's weather turned from cloudy to sunny.
While they were chatting about women's private matters, Lu Beichen and Jing Nan tactfully moved away, brought over stools, and sat down at the door to chat.
"You asked for leave after you came back to report, so you probably don't know that Brigade Commander Ouyang is dead." Jing Nan suddenly mentioned Ouyang Yuan's death.
Lu Beichen pretended to be extremely surprised: "How did he die? Weren't they fine before we left on the mission?"
"He died at home, his body covered with knife wounds. The preliminary judgment was that it was a revenge killing." There was no sadness on Jingnan's face.
"Has the murderer been found? I seem to have heard before that Brigadier General Ouyang was allocated a house in the family compound. It's heavily guarded there. Who could have sneaked into his house and killed someone without anyone noticing?"
"That's what's so strange. There's not even a trace of intrusion on the door lock. It was locked from the inside. He hadn't been seen in three days, and his phone was unreachable. Everyone thought he was out on some special mission. If it weren't for the foul smell coming from the house, the neighbors next door would have noticed something was wrong and called in the security guards to force the door open. He probably wouldn't have been discovered so quickly. He's been dead for about three days. The fatal wound was the knife wound to the chest."
"Maybe he offended someone." He was not familiar with Ouyang Yuan, so it was natural for him to show indifference.
"Several soldiers have been killed recently, and the military is taking this matter very seriously. I heard you've requested leave to leave the capital for a while. Please be careful."
"Yes! I will!"
The old veterans arrived late, and now they are all in high spirits.
After several days of hard training, I finally became familiar with controlling my new "hands and feet" and walked with great momentum.
Their voices could be heard from a long distance away. Lu Beichen said something to Jing Nan, then stood up and went to greet them.
Seeing Lu Beichen being so respectful, Jing Nan did not continue to sit. He stood up and waited on the side, looking at Lu Beichen's departing back, wondering what he was thinking.
A few old seniors were chatting and laughing when they saw a tall and handsome young man walking towards them.
Except for Mr. Hong, no one else has ever seen Lu Beichen.
"Xiao Lu! You are here today too." Old Hong was delighted to see Lu Beichen's face.
"So this guy is Ling's husband? He's really quite extraordinary, just... ahem... just a little bit worse than me back then."
He is Gai Ye, and he will never admit that there is someone better than him. A man who looks like this must have a lot of peach blossoms around him. It is worrying at first glance, and people keep imagining about them in their minds.
"Get out of the way! Go where it's cooler!" Master Xiong pushed Master Gai away and looked Lu Beichen up and down.
"Well! It's really good. Miss Ling really has good taste." Master Xiong was extremely satisfied with Lu Beichen.
"Grandpa, thank you for the compliment." Lu Beichen saluted each of the elders and then led them to the main hall.
Jing Nan was standing in the distance and saw a familiar figure in the crowd. He hurried forward.
"You're here too!" Old Hong smiled and patted Jingnan's shoulder. It was obvious that they knew each other.
"Yes, Beichen and I are comrades-in-arms, and I lost in a sparring match with him. I can be considered his defeated opponent." Jing Nan frankly admitted that he was not as good as Lu Beichen.
"Hahaha! Good, you have the courage to face your opponent." Old Hong was very satisfied with Jingnan. It was the most difficult for an arrogant person like him to face his own failure, but he could face it calmly.
"I've also heard about this mission. You did a great job! This matter will be thoroughly investigated and justice will be served to you."
The two nodded in unison, not appearing particularly aggrieved. This matter was not the responsibility of the higher-ups, the culprit had already been punished, and there was no need for Lu Beichen to hold on to it.
