Chapter 187: Chapter 182: Yang Linghua’s Plan

Today, Lu Jingqiu prepared an old duck soup, along with a dish of scallion and egg, and a serving of millet porridge.

All the lunchboxes at home had been used, including the meals prepared by Aunt Yang.

Besides these, she also brought over more than twenty eggs.

Regarding the chicken and duck Lu Jingqiu had been bringing over the last two days, Yang Minting felt quite embarrassed, but his mother was someone who loved to take advantage of small gains.

As soon as Aunt Yang saw the generous amount of duck meat and the large number of eggs, her mouth was so pleased it wouldn’t close.

However, Yang Linghua had been peering outside the house for a while before she said, "Sister Lu, why didn’t Big Brother Jiang come over today?"

Any somewhat attentive person could notice the young girl’s thoughts; it was only that Lu Jingqiu had not taken issue with them and simply smiled, "He was busy today and couldn’t make it."

Upon hearing this, Yang Linghua’s spirits waned. Looking at the contents of the lunchboxes, she suddenly added, "Sister Lu, these were all prepared by Big Brother Jiang, right? And these eggs, Big Brother Jiang is really thoughtful. But it’s also a bit too formal. Today, the military also sent someone to take care of things and even gave my brother a lot of subsidies and all kinds of tickets."

"Yes, that’s appropriate, after all, Company Commander Yang’s injury needs proper rest and recovery."

"Sister Lu, I heard you are studying, which school are you at?"

Just after Yang Linghua finished asking, Aunt Yang chimed in from the side, "My Linghua is at Normal University, and when she was enrolled, she was one of the top rankers in the whole school."

"Sister Lu, which school are you at? If we’re close by, I can come visit you when we’re both free."

"I’m at the Fine Arts College because we need to practice our basics. We’re usually very busy."

"Fine Arts College, huh? I heard your campus is really big and the living accommodations are nice too. Unlike ours, they’re all big dorm rooms. Several of my classmates have moved out to live elsewhere. Can I visit your school some day?"

Lu Jingqiu genuinely did not want to chat with Yang Linghua and quickly glanced at the time before saying, "Company Commander Yang, Aunt Yang, Comrade Yang, please go ahead and start your meal, I’ll go find Doctor Lih."

Once the person had left, Mrs. Yang snorted, "That daughter of Commander Lu, she holds her head up so high it’s practically in the sky. What’s she being so proud for? She still relies on a few lunchboxes every day, and those people really treat her like a treasure."

Company Commander Yang said, "Mom, it’s you who kept complaining that the food from the canteen wasn’t good, which is why they started sending meals. With so many dishes, do you think it’s normal for them to use up so many lunchboxes every day? Lunchboxes cost money, you know, and they’re expensive."

"Isn’t her dad a commander, and Captain Jiang a company commander? They can’t be stingy over a few lunchboxes."

Seeing things this way, Yang Linghua also felt uncomfortable, saying, "Mom, you can’t just look at what’s right in front of you. How much can a lunchbox be worth? Big Brother Jiang is a company commander, after all."

Upon hearing her daughter say this, Aunt Yang’s thoughts stirred, and she said to her son, "Minting, Captain Jiang and Commander Lu’s daughter aren’t married yet, right?"

"Mom, what are you trying to do? Don’t come up with any bad ideas."

"What idea could I possibly have? You all said it, you can’t just look at what’s immediately in front of you. I think Captain Jiang is a good person, capable, and since you saved his life, this debt of gratitude is certainly undeniable.

But debts of gratitude eventually come to an end. If you became family, it would be different. What do you think about suggesting Linghua to Captain Jiang?"

"It doesn’t matter what you think, they are about to get married, and he’s marrying the daughter of Commander Lu. If you don’t want to make a fool of yourself and don’t want your son’s debt of gratitude to be wasted, it’s best to do nothing."

Yang Linghua said, "Elder brother, what’s wrong with Commander Lu’s family? Your direct superior is Big Brother Jiang, and Commander Lu is even a rank above. Besides, they aren’t married yet."

Yang Minting hadn’t expected that his sister was up to such a scheme; he turned his head to look at the hospital room door and said coldly, "Linghua, you better drop your little tricks. Go back later; your care is not needed here."

Mother Yang said, "Why are you being so harsh with your sister? Our family conditions aren’t bad either. Your father is the director of a steel factory, and I am also a group leader at a department store. Although your eldest uncle isn’t in this military unit, he is also a member of the military district, and your mother is a college graduate. I heard that Captain Jiang is from the capital, and his family only has a grandfather left, who is retired from the military district. They don’t have much of a background or connections there."

"I’ve heard that Captain Jiang is looking to climb up the ranks, which is why he sought out Commander Lu’s daughter. Whether he likes her or not, every soldier under her command would want to marry a leader’s daughter."

Yang Linghua touched the braid in front of her chest and echoed, "Right, that day when you came here, big brother, you scared me to death. If it weren’t for Big Brother Jiang, I really couldn’t have held on and would have fallen and gotten hurt."

Uh, Jiang Nanzhou certainly wasn’t carrying that blame. That day, when Yang Minting was transferred here, Mother Yang only found out then and hurried over with her daughter who had just finished school.

After seeing the injuries on Yang Minting, she was indeed frightened. But her own instability on the stairs wasn’t caused by worry for her second brother; she was distracted by Jiang Nanzhou and accidentally fell.

At that moment, Jiang Nanzhou happened to be by her side. With quick reflexes, he helped her up and asked if she was alright out of concern.

It was just this small gesture, and she misunderstood it.

If Jiang Nanzhou ever found out, one could only wonder how dark his expression would turn.

Anyway, Lu Jingqiu did not want to talk to this Yang Linghua.

Yang Minting had always known that this sister was spoiled by the family, but he hadn’t expected her to now become so shameless, and his mother was actually encouraging her from the side, thinking it was all very well.

A fire suddenly rose in his heart, and he pushed the lunch box to one side, calling over an orderly outside the door, "Xiao Sang, could you make a phone call for me? Call the steel factory and look for Director Yang. Tell him to come to the hospital."

"Yes."

Mother Yang panicked and said, "What do you need your father for?"

"To take you both away; I don’t need your care here."

"How can we not be needed? Look at you now; you’re not fit to turn away anyone."

Yang Minting turned his head and closed his eyes, no longer wanting to listen to his mother and sister. He should not have let the two of them come; his face had already been lost in front of his superiors.

When Lu Jingqiu came back from seeing Doctor Lih, she felt the atmosphere was not quite right, but she felt it was not her place to ask. After exchanging a few words and taking the boxed meals, she left.

However, as she turned her head, she caught the flash of jealousy in Yang Linghua’s eyes.

Lu Jingqiu was puzzled, as she hadn’t done anything to provoke her.

Not good, she needed to get back and warn Jiang Nanzhou. In the future, when delivering meals to Company Commander Yang, he should try not to stay in the hospital room, or else have someone else deliver them.

Lu Jingqiu waited at home for a long time, but Jiang Nanzhou didn’t return.

Unknown to her, after the three of them had unloaded the goods at the new apartment, Gao Da had not even eaten before he and Yang Mingchao returned to the unit.

And Jiang Nanzhou had gone to the military unit to find Wei Jincheng.
