A '70s Flash Marriage: Raising Cubs, Making Millions

Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Lu Feng Gets Angry

”Sister-in-law, you get in the car first, I’ll handle this,” Wang Lu said, letting Fu Xiaoxiao get in the car and leaving the rest to him.

Fu Xiaoxiao nodded, ignored the village chief’s gaze, and got into the car past the villagers.

”You don’t need to say anything to me about this, someone will talk to you!” Wang Lu glanced at the village chief and sneered.

Having said that, Wang Lu patted Xiao Heng who was standing next to him. ”Thank you for saving my sister-in-law, I’ll report this to Camp Commander Lu. If you ever need anything, come to the army and find me. I’m Wang Lu.”

After speaking to Xiao Heng, Wang Lu turned around and got in the car. The car drove ahead, turned around, and sped off into the distance.

The villagers looked at Li Xiang, lying on the ground uncertain if alive or dead, and then at the village chief who had tried to protect Li Xiang earlier. They knew everything clearly in their hearts and dispersed to go home for lunch.

After all, they were from the Li Family, aware that he was no good, yet they still protected him.

The village chief remained, looking at Li Xiang on the ground, with a face shifting between sunshine and gloom.

Xiao Heng, with a stern face, dragged Xu Linlin back to the educated youth point.

”Xiao, you’re hurting me,” Xu Linlin tried to break free along the way but couldn’t, and seeing Xiao Heng’s stern face, she didn’t dare speak.

At lunchtime, the educated youths had just returned, not knowing what had happened, but seeing Xiao Heng’s stern face, they all came over with concern and asked.

”What happened?”

”What did she do again?”

Everyone looked at Xu Linlin. In front of everyone, Xiao Heng recounted the events that had just transpired.

Xu Linlin blinked innocently. ”I didn’t know, I didn’t do anything. I just saw Li Xiang come out with a brick, and I was worried about Mr. Fu, so I brought the village chief to save him.”

”Isn’t Mr. Fu the person who came over last time and reprimanded her? The educated youths weren’t fooled by Xu Linlin’s words at all. Fu Xiaoxiao was the person who got her removed from the teaching position; how could she be so kind to bring someone to save her?

”If Li Xiang had succeeded, you brought so many people over, were you trying to ruin her reputation and virtue, and force her to death?” Xiao Heng directly exposed Xu Linlin’s lies.

If Fu Xiaoxiao didn’t have those self-defense skills and was really just a weak woman, how could she have escaped from Li Xiang’s hands?

At that moment, Xiao Heng was extremely thankful that Fu Xiaoxiao had the ability to protect herself; otherwise, if she had been dragged into the woods by Li Xiang and he hadn’t noticed anything wrong, what would she have faced?

A few female educated youths turned pale at Xiao Heng’s hypothesis. If it had been them, subjected to such an assault and seen by so many people, they would certainly have the heart to die.

”But it didn’t happen, did it? All your assumptions don’t hold,” Xu Linlin wouldn’t admit her thoughts no matter what. As long as she didn’t admit it, what could they do to her?

”People are doing, and the heavens are watching. You will pay the price one day,” Xiao Heng gave Xu Linlin a cold look. Did it no longer matter because she didn’t admit it?

The educated youths looked at Xu Linlin with a hard-to-describe expression, and everyone distanced themselves from her.

Wang Lu sent Fu Xiaoxiao back home. Fu Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen, while Wang Lu went to Lu Feng’s room. Lu Feng, seeing Wang Lu’s unusual expression, immediately sensed something was wrong.

”What happened?” Lu Feng asked seriously.

”Sister-in-law, she...” Wang Lu pursed his lips and recounted the incident to Lu Feng.

”I must see the commander,” Lu Feng’s face fell. Just thinking about how Fu Xiaoxiao was nearly harmed, his eyes turned sharp.

”Lie down.” Fu Xiaoxiao came in with a cup of water and frowned at Lu Feng, who was about to get up.

”This matter must be reported to the commander, we can’t just let it go.” Lu Feng looked sternly at Fu Xiaoxiao.

”Your health can’t be messed with!” Fu Xiaoxiao shook her head disapprovingly.

Seeing Lu Feng being persuaded, Wang Lu glanced at him and ran out of the room.

”I promised you I wouldn’t let you suffer. I will seek justice for you. Why are you stopping me...” Lu Feng didn’t understand why Fu Xiaoxiao was holding him back.

”Because your body doesn’t allow you to act rashly. I’m very happy that you stand up for me, but your body needs to heal. If standing up for me makes your condition worse, I’d rather not have this justice,” Fu Xiaoxiao looked into Lu Feng’s eyes earnestly.

”Besides, there’s plenty of time in the future, let’s wait until you have recovered.” Fu Xiaoxiao’s words successfully persuaded Lu Feng.

Lu Feng began counting down in his mind, five days left, then he would personally handle it.

”Don’t send Xiao Lin these days, let Wang Lu do it.” To prevent Fu Xiaoxiao from being harmed again, Lu Feng frowned and said.

”Lu Feng, actually...” Fu Xiaoxiao was about to tell Lu Feng that she could protect herself, but then thought it might not be necessary to say.

”Actually, what?” Lu Feng waited for Fu Xiaoxiao to speak, but she said nothing more.

”Actually, I feel this might not be so simple...” After Fu Xiaoxiao shared her suspicions with Lu Feng, he was silent for a moment before slowly speaking. ”Your intuition is not wrong. This matter definitely involves that woman called Xu Linlin.”

”Li Xiang wanted to retaliate against you, but he hadn’t even met you, so he could only wait for you to appear by the roadside. It must be someone who informed him and incited him,” Lu Feng analyzed.

”You think so too? Xu Linlin hates me, probably blaming me for her losing her teaching job,” Fu Xiaoxiao agreed.

”That male educated youth, Xiao Heng, also said she had been complained about multiple times, not just by you, which is why she was replaced. It’s not your fault.” Lu Feng didn’t think it was Fu Xiaoxiao’s fault. Clearly, it was Xu Linlin who didn’t do her job well, leading to complaints.

Moreover, Lu Lin is his son, and on the first day of school, he was targeted by Xu Linlin. Just this incident alone, with Fu Xiaoxiao standing up for Lu Lin, she wasn’t in the wrong.

Although Fu Xiaoxiao didn’t think she was at fault, hearing Lu Feng so firmly believe in her and choose to be on her side made her quite happy inside.

Feeling happy, she immediately wanted to cook something delicious.

”What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll make it for you,” Fu Xiaoxiao smiled, and Lu Feng’s face was warmed by the smile, so he slightly lowered his head.

”Anything you make, I can eat,” Lu Feng replied.

”Rice or noodles?” Fu Xiaoxiao feared hearing ”anything,” Lu Feng’s answer was close, so she decided to rephrase the question.

”Rice.” Lu Feng answered instinctively.

”Radish or winter melon?” Fu Xiaoxiao asked again.

”Winter melon.” Lu Feng hesitated for a moment before choosing.

”Chicken or pork?” Fu Xiaoxiao continued to ask.

”Pork,” Lu Feng looked at Fu Xiaoxiao, pondering for a moment before answering.

Fu Xiaoxiao nodded, realizing that men tend to think on a task basis; she shouldn’t ask them what they want but should directly ask them to choose.

”Tonight, I’ll make rice, stir-fried winter melon, braised pork, and steam some egg custard for the two kids,” Fu Xiaoxiao confirmed the menu and walked out of the room.

Coming to his senses, Lu Feng couldn’t help but smile.
