Chapter 851 A Selfish and Greedy Country Wife Accompanying the Army (15)
Mu Zhou was a little smug.
He was complacent about how he had lived a "good life" in the past by being shameless and not caring about his reputation.
At this moment, Cheng Lifeng seemed to see the harm that those people had done to her in the past through her big eyes.
A storm was brewing in his eyes.
She was just a little girl; how could her so-called relatives bear to treat her like that?
Cheng Lifeng unconsciously tightened his grip.
Mu Zhou then realized that the two were still holding hands.
She pretended to yawn and pulled her hand away:
"I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
He then fled back to his room.
Of course, before leaving, I didn't forget to take the metal box of money with me.

That night, Mu Zhou lay in bed.
Everything that happened today was within her expectations.
After learning about her past experiences, Cheng Lifeng's favorability towards her has increased to 60%.
The only unexpected thing was that Li Yangyang was taken away and locked up.
Based on her previous brief remarks, she assumed that Cheng Lifeng simply wouldn't have any good feelings towards Li Yangyang.
To everyone's surprise, he simply and decisively kicked them out and sent them back home.
That saves her the trouble.
Having experienced being detained and sent back this time, it will be difficult for Li Yangyang to come back again. At the very least, the village will not issue her a certificate again.
However, if Li Yangyang goes back and talks about the good life she's enjoying here, her stepmother will probably get restless.
When the time comes, the couple will definitely find an opportunity to bring their child to stay with them.
That won't do.
Mu Zhou certainly wouldn't give them that chance.
As night deepened, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
On the other hand, tonight will be another sleepless night for Cheng Lifeng.
He took Mu Zhou's hand.
Even with my eyes closed, I can still feel the sensation in my hands.
Like hemp threads intertwined.
He clenched his teeth, his eyes dark, and then slowly reached his hand under the covers.
In another room, Mu Zhou, fast asleep, knew nothing.
A few muffled groans echoed through the darkness.
The sound was fleeting.
After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Lifeng got up expressionlessly and changed into a pair of pajama pants as if it were second nature.

Li Yangyang boarded the train back to her hometown under the "escort" of the police officers.
Compared to her initial excitement, she now looked disheveled and haggard.
Their faces were filled with panic.
Those three days under guard felt like an eternity; she could only curl up in bed, and she didn't even dare to sleep soundly.
She was really scared.
So after being released, he dared not cause any more trouble and obediently boarded the train.
After a day, she gradually recovered, but the resentment in her heart welled up again.
Just then, a young woman got on the bus and sat down next to her.
The woman wore a light-colored shirt and trousers, looking smart and capable, while her long hair was braided into two plaits, adding a touch of tranquility.
She was holding a newspaper and reading it intently; she was clearly a cultured person.
Li Yangyang was both jealous and looked down on him.
What are you pretending for, reading a newspaper on the train?
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the newspaper and immediately noticed the photograph on it.
That was good news.
A certain military unit distinguished itself in an exercise with foreign soldiers, and the photo clearly shows Cheng Lifeng.
Li Yangyang noticed that the woman was also looking at the photo and couldn't help but feel smug.
She leaned closer:
"Oh my, isn't this Battalion Commander Cheng?"
As soon as she spoke, the woman looked over curiously.
After looking her over, he frowned slightly.
"Do you know Battalion Commander Cheng?"
Li Yangyang snorted, a sense of smugness welling up within him:
"Of course, our relationship is quite special."
She gritted her teeth slightly, looking extremely angry.
"If it weren't for my cousin stealing my love and shamelessly taking away my marriage, I would have almost married him."
"Marry him?"
The woman's brows furrowed even more.
Li Yangyang felt suffocated; she had been both afraid and resentful, but now she blurted it all out.
She was jealous, so she slandered and embellished the story, telling the whole story of Mu Zhou marrying Cheng Lifeng.
She didn't notice that the woman's expression was getting worse and worse, and the corner of the newspaper was being squeezed so tightly that it had several more creases.
Li Yangyang said she had a great time and got off the train at her stop not long after.
However, when she got home, she discovered that she had lost her job, and that's when she was completely stunned.

Mu Zhou picked through the things he had bought and said to Cheng Lifeng:
"I'd like to send some things back to my aunt, is that alright?"
Cheng Lifeng was chopping chicken when he heard her words. He stopped chopping and looked at her.
"I told you, you're in charge of all the money. You don't need to ask me how you want to spend it."
He immediately realized his tone was a bit serious, so he softened his voice:
"If you don't know what to buy, you can ask me."
Mu Zhou put down the candy in her hand and shuffled up behind him.
Upon noticing her approach, Cheng Lifeng immediately tensed up.
Mu Zhou leaned in gently, her forehead resting against his back:
"How can you be so kind?"
Cheng Lifeng's Adam's apple bobbed.
He knew he was physically rigid and had a resolute personality, but the moment she leaned against him, he seemed to transform into a gentle, tender person.
He wanted to turn around and hug her, but he was still holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and his other hand was also very dirty.
He stood there, motionless, letting her lean on him.
He felt the warmth of her breath gradually burning his back, then spreading to the tip of his heart.
He was about to say that he wasn't that good, but Mu Zhou suddenly left him and walked around to his side:
"Would you be this good to anyone who married you?"
She was inexplicably a little angry:
"If my cousin were here, you would do the same, right? So, I guess I'm the one who's really good at snatching this marriage."
She thought she was really clever; she had immediately sought out her uncle after hearing about it.
Cheng Lifeng frowned in disapproval and denied it:
"No, I wouldn't have agreed to go with the army if it weren't for you."
Just as he had initially thought, he would give her some money and let her do whatever she wanted.
Cheng Lifeng had to admit that he only decided to bring Mu Zhou into his life after seeing her.
Upon hearing his words, Mu Zhou smiled with satisfaction.
"That's pretty much it."
She went out again, happily picking out candy.
My aunt has two children, both very cute little girls, and she wants to send more things back home.
Her aunt is her biological mother's younger sister, and is one of the few people who treat her well.
The next day, on Cheng Lifeng's recommendation, Mu Zhou went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some local specialties.
Finally, I went to the post office and mailed it back together.
When Sister Zhang saw it and learned that it was only sent to her aunt's family, she was extremely surprised:
"Sister, this is too much."
She thought it was for many relatives.
These large bags contain snacks, candies, dried fruits, and jerky that have a long shelf life.
I also bought two cans of malted milk powder and clothes for my aunt's family of four.
They bought three more bolts of good quality fabric.
One batch was bright red.
My aunt's eldest daughter is only two years younger than Mu Zhou, and she has already started going on blind dates.
I'm sure it will come in handy.
Hearing Sister Zhang's words, Mu Zhou explained:
“I grew up relying on my aunt’s support. If it weren’t for her, I would have starved to death long ago.”
When Sister Zhang heard this, she felt extremely distressed.
