With a clang, the basin fell to the ground and water spilled all over the floor. Lu Xiaoyu looked at the headrest in Zuo Jingyan's hand in horror. Did her sister-in-law kill someone? Why is there still a head in the house?
She was so weak when she wanted to run errands that she couldn't stand up and sat on the ground shaking into a ball.
"What's wrong?"
Zuo Jingyan heard her scream and turned around to see no one. She looked down and saw Xiaoyu sitting on the ground. She stretched out her hand to help her up. Xiaoyu was so frightened that she cried:
"Sister-in-law, don't kill me."
Li Qiaoyun was washing her feet when she heard her daughter screaming and ran into the house barefooted. She saw her daughter sitting on the ground trembling. She threw the footbath on the ground and water spilled all over the floor. She didn't know what happened and asked quickly:
"What's wrong?"
Did Xiaoyu make her daughter-in-law unhappy? She apologized for her daughter:
"Daughter-in-law, don't be offended by Xiaoyu's ignorance. Mom will scold her."
Zuo Jingyan's face was covered with black lines. She went over and held her head up for Lu Xiaoyu to see:
"This is not a human head, what do you think it is?"
"This is a headband for weaving wigs."
When I held it in my hand, I realized that it looked a bit like a human head at night. It was no wonder that Xiaoyu was so frightened.
Lu Xiaoyu saw clearly that it was a head made of wood. Then he became less frightened and stood up with the help of his mother.
"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing this for?"
Li Qiaoyun also saw it as a human head at first glance. This was too scary. He didn’t understand what his daughter-in-law did with this?
Zuo Jingyan patiently explained: "To make money."
"Can I make money? Can I learn?"
When Xiaoyu heard that he could make money, he stopped being afraid and asked his sister-in-law cautiously.
As long as you can make money, you don't need your eldest brother to support your education, and your eldest brother and sister-in-law don't have to quarrel over you.
Hearing that Xiaoyu wanted to imitate Zuo Jingyan, she agreed very happily:
"Okay, I will teach you during the day tomorrow."
It's a good thing to be self-reliant. As long as she wants to learn, teach her yourself. Once you teach her, you can help her share some of the burden.
Seeing that her sister-in-law was willing to teach herself, Xiaoyu was so happy that she spilled the foot-washing water she brought. She ran to the kitchen and boiled another basin and brought it over. She stood at the door and called Zuo Jingyan with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, wash your feet."
"Thanks."
Zuo Jingyan was not used to others trying to please her like this, so she went over to take the footwashing water and said to Xiaoyu:
"Xiaoyu, you don't need to be like this."
"Sister-in-law, you are so kind to me, I want to do something for you."
Xiaoyu lowered her head in embarrassment. She didn't know how to express it. In the past, when her sister-in-law was at home, she would boil water for her feet. She had thought about it before she came. She would not drive her away if she served her well.
At that time, she served her sister-in-law in order not to be driven away. Now she serves her sister-in-law willingly, because her sister-in-law is good to her, and she wants to be better to her.
Zuo Jingyan was deeply touched when she suddenly heard such words. In her previous life, no one except her grandparents was so sincere to her. It felt like she had an extra sister.
She smiled warmly and whispered:
"go to sleep!"
"Um."
Xiaoyu nodded vigorously and looked at her sister-in-law with bright eyes, full of admiration.
Zuo Jingyan smiled when she saw how cute Xiao Yu was. She picked up the Great Friendship Cream on the table and handed it over:
"Wash your face well with hot water, rub more of this, and rub some on your hands too."
Xiaoyu didn't dare to ask for it. When she was at home, she saw her sister-in-law wipe it and it smelled very good. At that time, she just glanced at it and was scolded by her sister-in-law, saying that she was cheap and didn't deserve to see such an expensive thing.
"Take it and use it, rub more."
Zuo Jingyan put away her smile and spoke in a commanding tone. When Xiaoyu saw that she was angry, she was frightened and quickly took over.
After Zuo Jingyan soaked her feet, she went to braid her hair. She didn't go to bed until late at night, trying to make up for the lost time. Her eyes were tired, so she pinched her eyebrows and did some eye exercises before packing her things and getting ready for bed.
Here's the problem, there are no curtains in this room, the big moon shines brightly in, and you can see the stars all over the sky while sitting in the room.
What's even worse is that Lu Haoting's single bed was only covered with a thin mattress because he was a soldier. She couldn't do it. When she lay down, she felt trembling and very cold.
She had no choice but to get up and spread her quilt on the bed. Once the quilt was made, there was no cover. She then went to the cabinet to find the military coat Lu Haoting wore in winter and used it as a quilt.
Lu Haoting is tall and his military coat is longer than ordinary people's. Zuo Jingyan is lying on her side with her legs curled up just right.
The coat has the smell of sunshine, and there is also a faint smell of soap and the smell unique to Lu Haoting. When I smell this smell, I think of the scene when I put my arms around his waist in the morning. The waist under the clothes is thin and strong. Zuo Jingyan
I closed my eyes in annoyance, why were I thinking about this?
Sleep! Sleep, wake up and make money!
The room was too bright, so I didn't fall asleep until late at night. The sun shone in again early in the morning, so I couldn't sleep for a while longer.
Zuo Jingyan didn't sleep well, so she sat up and stretched. Her cotton coat slipped to the ground. She bent down to pick it up, and a red diary fell out from the pocket of the cotton coat.
Zuo Jingyan hesitated for a moment. This was other people's privacy and she shouldn't read it. But when she picked up the diary, she saw the strong and powerful fonts on it, which were as cold and serious as his person. She couldn't help but read it.
The previous content was a record of daily training and reading. Zuo Jingyan discovered that Lu Haoting loved reading, especially books related to military affairs.
Moreover, he is good at thinking and summarizing. After reading Sun Tzu's Art of War, he has his own unique insights into how to apply each strategy to the battle between two armies and how to play the most critical role.
Zuo Jingyan was attracted by the content he wrote and felt that he could use his diary to write a book about military affairs.
When she turned to the middle, the smile on Zuo Jingyan's face disappeared.
She saw a soldier with a sense of justice and responsibility who was blackmailed for saving people, saw his helplessness and anger, and how the original owner touched his bottom line again and again after joining the army. Lu Haoting compared this marriage to purgatory.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Zuo Jingyan closed the diary and sat on the bed for a long time before she came out of the sadness and anger written in the diary.
It's pity for a proud soldier to be tortured into such despair.
Zuo Jingyan put the diary back and hung the general's coat back in the closet. She decided to divorce Lu Haoting as soon as possible to liberate his body and mind.
It can be considered that she did a good deed for the original owner and let the man who was framed by her go free.
When Zuo Jingyan came out of the house, she saw Xiaoyu busy in the kitchen. When the little girl saw her smiling brightly, she said in a clear voice:
"Sister-in-law, are you awake?"
"There is hot water in the thermos. You can eat after washing your face."
"Thanks."
Zuo Jingyan was stunned for a moment. Is this the day when she had to wear her shirt, reach for food, and open her mouth?
