Chapter 1033: Chapter 1033: Creating Something from Nothing 2

Lu Jiang’s eyes flashed with a ruthless hue as he lifted his foot to step forward but was held back by Feng Qingxue.

"What’s the point of a grown man getting involved in a spat between two old women? It’s all in the past, and I haven’t suffered any loss. I’ll explain everything to you later; it’s not that I’ve been deliberately keeping secrets from you," she said.

Lu Jiang clasped her hand tightly, his voice filled with distress, "How much have you suffered in the past? I hate myself for not having met you sooner."

Feng Qingxue spoke softly, "Since meeting you, I haven’t suffered anymore. Ajiang, it’s so wonderful to have met you."

Despite living in such a tumultuous era, where resources were extremely scarce, she was still very grateful to the heavens for letting her meet Lu Jiang, the man she would cherish for a lifetime.

They had just reached the intersection, some distance from the onlookers and the sisters-in-law, Zhao Guihua and Li Guohong.

So, there was no need to worry about anyone overhearing their sweet nothings.

It was Aunt Feng, from the crowd, who had sharp eyes and quickly ran over with a look of joy on her face, "Xiaoxue, you’re here? When did you come back? I heard you took the kids to the army and haven’t been home for several years now, you’re also in the military, right? You came back at the end of March or the beginning of April, and then you went on a long trip again right after that."

"Auntie!" Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue called out together.

"Yes, yes!" Aunt Feng responded repeatedly, asking the same question again.

Feng Qingxue replied, "We returned a couple of days ago. Over a month ago, we planned to visit uncle and auntie, but Ajiang and I had to go out on an urgent trip, so we postponed our visit."

"We’re doing well with food and drink; what’s there to see with us? Why didn’t you bring the children for us to see?" Aunt Feng peered behind them for a moment, not seeing the children, she couldn’t hide her disappointment, "Hongling’s mother went back to her parents’ house and told us how adorable your two kids are, looking just like little people carved out of white snow."

Feng Qingxue laughed, "The two kids are so playful at home, they just don’t want to go out."

Hearing his wife casually blame the two children, Lu Jiang looked askance, but he didn’t expose her lie. Seeing the state of Caohu Brigade, he secretly felt relieved that they hadn’t brought the children with them.

The children love to imitate adults, and seeing Zhao Guihua and Li Guohong fight like that, Xibao would certainly learn it quickly and well!

Caohu Brigade’s situation was far worse than that of Wanglou Brigade.

Although he had felt this way six or seven years ago, the feeling was even stronger now, impossible to ignore the huge gap between the two places.

Even though the harvests haven’t been good in the past two years, Wanglou Brigade has been developing better and better. In contrast, Caohu Brigade presented a scene of desolation and melancholy. Along the way, seeing the crops of Caohu Brigade, it was just as Wang Zhengguo had said, if not half-dead, they were sparse, and if a mu of land could yield a hundred and fifty catties, it would be cause for gratitude, whereas Wanglou Brigade’s average yield could reach three to four hundred catties.

Even though they were there to watch the commotion, everyone’s faces were covered with gloom and despair.

"It’s too hot outside, let’s go home!" Aunt Feng, pulling her niece along, passed Zhao Guihua and Li Guohong who were still brawling, "It’s such a rare visit, and yet you had to see this kind of farce."

Feng Qingxue didn’t care; she had long stopped having any relation with her brother and sister-in-law.

"Weren’t they always in cahoots? How come they’ve turned against each other like this? I just heard Zhao Guihua’s grievances," Feng Qingxue looked back for a moment, Zhao Guihua and Li Guohong were fighting even more fiercely, and no one stepped forward to separate them.
