Chapter 106: Chapter 0106: Show Weakness to Others 2_1

Wang Zhengguo wasn’t foolish enough to indulge his daughter’s capriciousness at the expense of his own future. He also greatly admired Feng Qingxue’s intelligence.

She came to see him today to lodge a complaint, a pre-emptive move, but because she was demonstrating vulnerability, her words were softened.

Her intelligence was extreme; no wonder Lu Jiang’s father was immensely pleased.

Compared to her, Wang Jiao was downright foolish. To threaten Feng Qingxue so brazenly with the so-called favor she gave her was as if Wang Jiao’s brain had been devoured by a dog, leaving nothing behind.

Wang Zhengguo always knew his daughter wasn’t smart, but he never expected her to be this foolish.

If Feng Qingxue cancelled their marriage, would Lu Jiang certainly marry Wang Jiao?

Fortunately, he had been covertly helping the Lu Family. The documents required for Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue’s marriage report were all personally prepared by him. He even took care of Feng Qingxue’s household registration and family materials from Caohu without any obstruction from Feng Shuanzhu. This bespokes of his good connection with them.

Once all the documents were in order and Lu Jiang went back to his unit, the first thing he did was submit his love and marriage reports.

Normally, the love report should be submitted half a year before the marriage report. After confirming the relationship, then the wedding ceremony follows. However, Lu Jiang’s situation was different, so there was no need to be overly critical.

Therefore, the love report was approved first.

Once the love report was approved, there was no need for Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue’s correspondence to be reviewed.

Lu Jiang sent Feng Qingxue the wild boar legs, rabbit meat, money, tickets, and other things he had hunted, dried, and collected. Not long after, he was informed to collect a letter and parcels.

There was one letter and four large packages in total.

The packages had to be checked. After Lu Jiang agreed to open them, those present gasped with envy. His friends who were close to him joked, "Lu Jiang, you have to treat us. Seriously, treat us!"

The lightest package contained clothes and shoes - cotton shoes, shoe pads, cashmere clothes, cashmere scarves, and so on, which no one inspected closely.

The second package contained thirty pounds of rice and flour each.

The third contained preserved fruit, dried fruit, and sealed packages of broad bean flowers, and five-spice peanuts.

The fourth, the heaviest and most enviable package, contained ten strips of bacon, several dozen sausages, two air-dried chickens, two air-dried ducks, and two jars of red, fiery chili sheep fat.

In the letter, Feng Qingxue told Lu Jiang that, thanks to the care of his comrades, she was able to send him these supplies. She advised him to wear the shoes and clothes in rotation, and assured him that she would send provisions every month. He should then not neglect his meals and keep enough for himself. The rest could be given to the cooks at the mess hall to supplement his comrades’ meals.

After all, the many gifts and money he had brought home earlier were indeed thanks to his comrades. She also specifically asked him to give Zhao Yong two strips of bacon, some sausages, preserved and dried fruit.

Lu Jiang had friends from all over the country, which was the most convincing excuse, and no one could really investigate each one.

How could Lu Jiang not understand the profound meaning of Feng Qingxue’s explicit reasoning?

The extra delivery to Zhao Yong must have been in gratitude for the military coat and shoes he had given before.

Her thoughtfulness was fine and comprehensive.

Pride and honor enveloped Lu Jiang, a smile plastering his face. Responding loudly to his comrades’ jokes, he said, "Alright, I’ll send the meat, sausages, chicken, and duck to the mess hall and let them prepare them. Tomorrow, everyone will have an extra dish!"

He immediately asked his comrades to take what he had mentioned to the mess hall. He kept only two strips of bacon and six sausages.

In response to everyone’s curiosity, he explained with a smile, "Last time when I went back, the commander gave me a military coat and two pairs of shoes, which I gave to my fiancée. She specifically asked me to deliver these things to thank the commander."
