An Accidental Military Marriage

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Jiang Dashan’s Affair

When Jiang Moli took him to the credit union for a loan, Jiang Dashan was taken aback, but he wasn’t as furious as Ruan Fuguo and his brothers.

It wasn’t like he was scheming to borrow money and never pay it back. A debt was a debt, no matter who the lender was. As long as he could get the money, he was happy.

After learning he could make monthly payments and the interest wasn’t high, he asked for a 200-yuan loan.

Jiang Dahai had to hurry back to the factory for his shift.

After putting in a good word with the director in charge of loans, Jiang Moli got ready to leave with Jiang Dahai.

Before she left, however, she pulled Jiang Dashan aside to have a word in private.

"Uncle, you need to stop having that affair."

Jiang Moli’s directness made Jiang Dashan jump in fright.

"Moli, don’t talk such nonsense."

A cheating man will deny it to his dying breath unless he’s caught in the act.

Jiang Moli gave him a wry smile. "You know perfectly well whether I’m talking nonsense or not."

Jiang Dashan’s old face flushed red. He glanced around guiltily, like a thief, and stammered, "H-How did you know?"

"I heard it from Jiang Qing."

Jiang Moli felt no guilt whatsoever about pinning the blame on her.

If she hadn’t learned about Jiang Dashan’s fate in advance through the System, he would have undoubtedly fallen for Jiang Qing’s schemes.

This way, she was giving Jiang Dashan an early warning to be on his guard against Jiang Qing from now on.

Sure enough, hearing that Jiang Qing also knew about his sordid affair, Jiang Dashan grew even more panicked.

"Does your father know too?"

"My dad doesn’t know yet."

Jiang Dashan breathed a small sigh of relief. "Then don’t tell him. And don’t tell your aunt, either."

Then, he pleaded in a low voice, "Please, I’m begging you. I’ll owe you for this for the rest of my life."

"Uncle, Jiang Qing is a deeply calculating person. If she finds the right moment, she’ll have you and your lover caught red-handed. Being ridiculed by the entire village would be the least of your worries. If you’re paraded around for a public shaming, that would be a whole new level of humiliation."

Jiang Dashan was a simple, honest man and not very brave. Hearing Jiang Moli’s words, his face turned pale with fright.

Her goal achieved, Jiang Moli left with Jiang Dahai.

As for her other uncle, Jiang Dachuan, she didn’t plan on meddling for the time being. Smoking and drinking weren’t major vices, after all.

As a mere niece, it wasn’t her place to manage her uncles’ affairs.

’But if there are Disdain Points to be earned, that’s another story entirely.’

...

You needed the household registration booklet to apply for a loan.

Jiang Dashan hurried home to get the booklet. As he passed the Zhang family’s house, he instinctively glanced into their yard.

He saw Jiang Qing bustling about in the yard, and a fresh wave of guilt and alarm washed over him.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, Jiang Qing turned her head to look.

"Uncle."

Meeting Jiang Qing’s dark eyes, Jiang Dashan gave an unnatural smile and headed home, his heart pounding with anxiety.

Jiang Qing turned back to her work, the corner of her mouth curling into a faint, mocking smile.

’Jiang Dashan looks honest on the surface, but he’s a schemer. He’s been secretly sleeping around with Ge Yue’e.’

’According to the timeline of my past life, on the night of the twenty-fifth of this month, Jiang Dashan will have a tryst with Ge Yue’e in the cornfield on the back hill.’

’When that day comes, I’ll find a way to have them caught in the act.’

’Ge Yue’e’s husband is no pushover. When he finds out Jiang Dashan is sleeping with his wife, he’ll kill him!’

’Jiang Dashan has never done anything to me, but who’s to blame for him being Jiang Dahai’s brother?’

...

Back at the factory, before Xiao Jun even had a chance to report to Yang Zhigang, he was pulled aside by other workers who peppered him with questions.

Xiao Jun told them what happened, just as he’d been instructed.

This was what Jiang Moli herself had wanted—if anyone from the factory asked, they should just tell the truth.

When they heard that Jiang Moli hadn’t lent her Ruan family uncles money herself but had instead helped them get a loan from the credit union, the workers had mixed reactions.

Some cursed Jiang Moli for being dishonest, saying she did nothing but fool people all day.

Others felt that Jiang Moli had handled the situation quite cleverly.

But either way, she had helped her relatives solve an urgent problem.

Jiang Dahai didn’t say anything, but he was actually thrilled.

She got the job done, and in a way that left no room for criticism.

’My daughter is getting smarter and more capable by the day.’

...

That evening, the Lu Family was having dinner.

Lu Deyao would take a bite of food, then glance at Jiang Moli.

He looked at her as if he were sizing up some rare treasure.

Jiang Moli touched her face. "Dad, I know I’m easy on the eyes, but you don’t have to stare. If you keep looking, I’ll have to start charging you."

Lu Deyao laughed out loud at her words. "Xiao Jiang, how does that little brain of yours work? Someone asks you for money, and you turn around and take them to get a loan from the credit union. You’re a real piece of work!"

Jiang Moli replied breezily, "You know what they say, you are who you surround yourself with. Living with you all for so long, I guess I was bound to get a little smarter."

This bit of flattery had Lu Deyao beaming.

He was so pleased that he announced a new restaurant called Chen’s Mapo Tofu was opening in two days, and he would take the whole family out to eat.

...

After paying off his debts with the 200-yuan loan from the credit union, Jiang Dashan used the remaining money to buy an old sewing machine. He also gave the Xie family a betrothal gift of 38.8 yuan, officially settling the marriage for his second son, Jiang Chao.

Yang Chunxiang was thrilled; she practically floated when she walked out the door.

Jiang Dashan, however, was weighed down by anxiety, unable to eat or sleep in peace.

The fact that his affair had been exposed was like having a sword hanging over his head.

You never knew if it would fall, or when.

It made him deeply regret his actions.

Two years prior, when his eldest son got married, they had to make room for the new couple. His daughter, Jiang Hehua, had moved into the room he shared with Yang Chunxiang.

Ever since then, he and his wife, Yang Chunxiang, had stopped being intimate. After so long, he couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

He had brought it up a few times, but Yang Chunxiang always refused.

Yang Chunxiang was three years his senior. For a woman of her age, she had lost interest in that sort of thing between a husband and wife.

Ge Yue’e was in a similar situation.

Her husband was all looks and no substance, and since she wasn’t getting what she needed at home, she had to look for it elsewhere.

Through a strange twist of fate, the two of them ended up together.

He didn’t know if Ge Yue’e had been with other men, but they had only been together twice.

He was also baffled as to how Jiang Qing knew about it.

The last time he’d been with Ge Yue’e was at the beginning of the month before last, but Jiang Qing had only married into the village last month.

...

The next morning, as Jiang Dashan was heading out to the fields for work, he ran into Ge Yue’e cutting sow thistle for her rabbits.

Normally, to avoid suspicion, Jiang Dashan wouldn’t have dared to even look Ge Yue’e in the eye.

But he had been nearly driven mad with worry these past few days.

Mustering his courage, he walked over and spoke to her from about two meters away. "Ge the fourth sister, is that doe of yours about to have her litter?"

"Probably before the twenty-fifth of this month. What’s up, you want one?"

Ge Yue’e thought Jiang Dashan was missing her and was suggestively trying to set up another meeting.

Jiang Dashan’s heart thumped. Seeing that no one was around, he quickly lowered his voice and asked if she had told anyone about them.

Ge Yue’e shot him a look. "What, am I stupid? If I told anyone about this, I’d be drowned in town gossip."

"Jiang Qing knows about us. We can’t see each other anymore."

Ge Yue’e’s expression flickered for a moment before she schooled her features back to normal. She let out a laugh. "Fine, I get it. I’ll save two kits for you when the litter is born."

After Jiang Dashan had walked away with his hoe shouldered, Ge Yue’e bent down to continue cutting the sow thistle, but her face had darkened.

’No wonder Jiang Qing always looks at me with such disdain whenever we cross paths.’

’I just thought she was like those educated youth girls from the next village, looking down on us rural women for being coarse and uncultured.’
