Chapter 2008: I’m Angry
“Besides, it’s their business who cooks and washes the clothes. Why do you care so much? The women in the city usually make classy wives. She’s a graduate student, and she’ll get a good job in the future. Now that she’s pregnant, it’s normal for Colonel Lu to dote on her. ”
“That’s easy for you to say. If your daughter-in-law were to let your son do the laundry and cook, would you be sitting here with your feet up and saying these nice things?” The lady who first spoke to Jiang Yao retorted to the old woman.
“Of course, I won’t allow my son to pamper his wife like that, but Colonel Lu and Jiang Yao aren’t my son and daughters-in-law, nor are they your son and daughters-in-law. Colonel Lu’s mother did not say anything, so why do you care so much? Aren’t you just gossiping about her?”
The old woman was a little angry, so her words were not pleasant. However, she was older, so the young woman did not dare to scold her.
Even though Jiang Yao had gone far away, she heard every word of the conversation at the snack shop.
She almost fainted from anger when she reached the door to her house.Support our ReadNovelFull.com
Lu Xingzhi had finished cooking, but Jiang Yao was not at home. Then, he remembered that she had gone out for a walk and that she wanted him to call her when it was time to eat.
He took off his apron and walked to the yard. He did not expect to see Jiang Yao sitting on a small wooden stool in the yard.
Her back was toward him, and she bent down as if she was playing with the grass by her feet. The setting sun shone on her body, but she looked like she was in a bad mood.
“It’s time to eat,” Lu Xingzhi said as he approached her.
Jiang Yao sat there without moving.
He took a few more steps and walked toward her. He crouched as he looked at her. He realized that Jiang Yao was unhappy. Her face was sullen, and her eyes seemed a little red.
Jiang Yao was not a crybaby. It was rare to see her in such a mood.
He did not know what was wrong with her. She was in a bad mood and did not tell him. She was sitting alone in the courtyard, angry. Lu Xingzhi felt sorry for her.
“What’s wrong? Who made you angry? “Lu Xingzhi touched Jiang Yao’s face gently....
Only then did Jiang Yao react. She raised her head and looked at Lu Xingzhi. She stomped her feet angrily. “I’m going to die of anger! Also, have you washed your hands? Don’t touch my face with your greasy hands. It will damage my skin!”
She could still remember asking him if he had washed his hands, which meant she had not died from anger.
Although she was in a bad mood, it was not bad enough to make Lu Xingzhi panic.
“I’ve washed them.’
Lu Xingzhi put his hands in front of Jiang Yao’s nose. His hands smelled of soap and lavender. “Didn’t you say you were going out for a walk? Why are you sulking here alone?”
After taking a closer look, he saw two salt packets on her knees. “Where did you get it?”
“I bought them.”
Jiang Yao threw the salt at Lu Xingzhi and said, “I’ve felt that there’s something
wrong with how the soldiers look at me these past few days. They were pointing at me discreetly.. I thought I was overthinking it, but I didn’t expect them to talk about my baby and me behind my back!”
