An Accidental Military Marriage

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Having an Affair

Jiang Moli smiled and waved at Lu Tingting. "Miss Lu, you’re up? I’ve brought all your meals for the week. Come and take a look."

Lu Tingting instinctively walked toward Jiang Moli, though she was very confused.

’In this sweltering heat, food would spoil before the next meal, never mind overnight.’

She glanced at the bulging cloth bags at Jiang Moli’s feet. ’Did Jiang Moli just grab some dry rations to fob me off?’

With this in mind, she walked over to the bags.

"What is this junk? Jiang Moli, you promised to treat me to a hundred meals. If you dare go back on your word, may you never be able to have a son!"

"Not so fast. I’ve prepared everything for you, just as I said."

Jiang Moli bent down and opened the three cloth bags on the ground one by one.

"This bag is concentrate, mainly grains and legumes, for your breakfast. This one is protein feed, with fish meal, bone meal, and the like—highly nutritious, for your lunch. And this bag is green fodder, mostly grass, cabbage stalks, and radish greens, for your dinner."

"Each bag is over five pounds, which should be enough for a week. I also got you two packets of seasoning. One is a fattening supplement—not only will it help you gain weight, but it will also make your coat nice and shiny. The other is a probiotic to help with digestion. You can mix them into your meals however you like."

Lu Tingting’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "What on earth is all this?"

"It’s pig feed. Haven’t you been working at the pig farm these last few days? You should recognize this stuff, right?"

Being a college student in those days sounded respectable, but in reality, their lives were just as demanding as any full-time worker’s.

Not only did they not have winter or summer breaks, but they also had very little time in the classroom.

Most of their time was spent attending various activities and assemblies or performing manual labor at factories and farms.

For example, Lu Tingting had been assigned to work at the pig farm for the past few days.

Of course, Lu Tingting knew this was pig feed.

She just couldn’t understand why Jiang Moli would bring this stuff to her house and give her a long, rambling explanation about it.

"My dear niece, I’ve prepared your three meals a day, so take your time and enjoy. I’m going home to catch up on sleep. I was so worried you’d go hungry that I went to the market at the crack of dawn. I’m exhausted."

Lu Tingting finally snapped. "Jiang Moli, when you said you’d treat me to a meal, you meant this pig feed? Are you calling me a pig?"

Jiang Moli’s smile was so wide her eyes crinkled. "Even if you were a pig, you’d be the cutest one in the pen. Of course, if you think it’s no fun eating alone, you can always go to the farm and eat with your piggy sisters. Bye-bye, my cute little sow~"

"AH!"

"AHH!"

"AHHH!"

Seeing Lu Tingting so mad she was practically dancing with rage, Jiang Moli went home in high spirits.

...

An Hui and Ma Hongmei were in the courtyard watering the vegetable patch.

When An Hui saw Jiang Moli returning, she teased, "Well, well, the sun must have risen in the west today. Our young lady is up so early. I thought you’d still be in bed."

Jiang Moli replied with a grin, "I’m just about to go back and do that. You work hard, Mom. No slacking off, you hear?"

An Hui shot her an exasperated glare, but she wasn’t truly angry. She was used to it, after all.

"Where were you so early in the morning?"

"I went to the market to buy Tingting a little something."

"What made you decide to buy something for Tingting? What did you get her?"

As she asked, An Hui instinctively guessed that her third daughter-in-law was trying to improve her relationship with her granddaughter and was making a peace offering.

A look of relief appeared in her eyes as she looked at Jiang Moli.

"Last night, Tingting told me she’d only forgive me if I treated her to a hundred meals. So I bought her over ten pounds of pig feed."

"..."

An Hui could just imagine how furious her granddaughter would be. She couldn’t help but scold Jiang Moli, "She’s being childish, but you’re not. Do you really have to oppose her at every turn?"

"She treats me like a sucker, and I treat her like a dumb pig. I’d say we’re even."

’In truth, angering Lu Tingting with the pig feed was just a bonus.’

’Jiang Moli’s main goal was still to earn Disdain Points.’

’She’d heard from Fan Wenfang at dinner last night that Lu Tingting had made a new group of friends at the pig farm.’

’As the granddaughter of the military region’s political commissar, people were always falling over themselves to get close to her.’

’Knowing Lu Tingting’s personality, she was bound to complain to her new friends about her "vicious Third Aunt-in-Law."’

’But she was worried Lu Tingting’s complaints wouldn’t be vicious enough, that she wouldn’t make her "wicked Third Aunt-in-Law" seem hateful enough.’

’Since Lu Tingting had walked right into her trap, she naturally wouldn’t hold back.’

...

Lu Tingting did indeed take the pig feed to the pig farm.

After all, the Lu Family didn’t raise pigs, and she couldn’t just throw it away.

Even though Lu Tingting had been pampered her whole life, the habit of being frugal and thrifty was deeply ingrained in her.

Just as Jiang Moli had expected, when her friends asked why she’d brought pig feed, Lu Tingting launched into a tirade about how awful and vicious Jiang Moli was.

She told them everything, from their time as high school classmates to how Jiang Moli had bewitched her third uncle, and how she now used her status as his wife to throw her weight around and bully her, and on and on.

[Disdain Points +7. 70,000 Yuan Credited.]

It was worth noting that in thanks for Lu Tingting’s donation of pig feed and nutritional supplements, the farm manager rewarded her with two large pig’s feet.

Lu Tingting took the pig’s feet home, and Fan Wenfang cooked them in a braise for the whole family to share.

...

"Zhang Sanmei, there’s a letter for you."

"Thank you, Teacher Zhu."

Zhang Sanmei took the letter from her homeroom teacher, her face lighting up with pleasant surprise when she saw the return address.

She waited until she found a deserted spot before carefully opening the letter.

After reading the letter, Zhang Sanmei pocketed the one-yuan bill that came with it, casually tore the letter to pieces, and tossed them into a stinking gutter.

Only after seeing all the pieces of the letter sink to the bottom of the black, smelly water did she turn and leave.

On her way home from school that afternoon.

Zhang Sanmei made a point of taking a detour past the Guo Family’s vegetable patch.

Spotting Mrs. Guo fertilizing the vegetable patch with a manure ladle, she glanced left and right. Seeing no one around, she walked up to Mrs. Guo and quietly said a few words.

...

After finishing her chores, Ge Yue’e picked up a cloth pouch containing her needlework and prepared to head out.

Mrs. Guo, who was sorting straw for raincoats in the yard, called out to her. "It’s already dark. Where are you going?"

"I’m just going over to my third sister-in-law’s house for a bit. I’ll be right back."

Mrs. Guo watched Ge Yue’e’s departing figure, her expression dark and unreadable.

A moment later, she got up, went next door, and called her eldest son, Guo Dawei, home.

"Why’d you call me back, Mom? My luck is good tonight!"

Mrs. Guo shot him a sharp look. "All you do day in and day out is play cards! You can’t even keep an eye on your own wife!"

"Mom, what do you mean by that? Where is Yue’e?"

"She’s gone to the cornfield on the back hill to meet her lover!"

Guo Dawei grabbed a hatchet and stormed out of the house in a rage.

Around 9 p.m., Ge Yue’e came home carrying her sewing.

"Mom, why aren’t you asleep yet?"

To save on kerosene, Mrs. Guo usually went to bed as soon as it got dark, but today she was still waiting at the courtyard gate, as if expecting someone.

Mrs. Guo glared at her as if she wanted to eat her alive. "How come you’re alone? Where’s Dawei?"

Ge Yue’e was baffled. "Isn’t he playing cards at Liu the Fifth’s house?"

Mrs. Guo’s expression shifted several times. After shooting Ge Yue’e one last vicious glare, she left by herself to find her son.

...

「The next day.」

Jin Yulan was heading out to work with farm tools on her shoulder when she ran into a few villagers not far from her home, gossiping about the Guo Family.

"Guo Dawei cracked his head open on the back hill last night. There was blood everywhere. He’s still at the town clinic."

"What was he doing running up the mountain so late at night?"

"Who knows? Maybe he was going to meet a lover?"

"Oh, come on. He can’t even satisfy his own wife. You think he has the energy to fool around on the side?"

The women covered their mouths and snickered.

Having heard her fill of gossip, Jin Yulan shouldered her farm tools and continued on to the fields, completely satisfied.
