Chapter 74: Wear my watch, and you'll be my person from now on

After the canteen incident, Old Master Lu calmly strolled around the military training ground, then politely declined the company and escort of his granddaughter and the others.

From the military region to the sanatorium, how many steps was that?

He wandered back by himself, leisurely and content. He wasn't a child; he didn't need them to watch him.

Instead of having this time, they should go back to their homes and hurry up to make babies.

He still wanted to hold his great-grandchildren.

Let's agree first, whether it's a boy or a girl, he likes them all!

He was an enlightened elder; he didn't believe in that old feudal superstition.

Pei Yan Ting wasn't shy and said bluntly that she definitely wouldn't let Grandfather down.

A military doctor was indeed tough.

Shen Man blushed, wishing she could bury her head in the ground.

Grandfather was urging them to have children, and he was tough.

After watching his grandfather leave, Lu Xiu Bai curled his lips and turned to whisper to his sister:

"Sister, I'll accompany your sister-in-law back to the hospital dormitory to move her luggage first. You and Jiang Ye go do your things."

"Okay."

Shen Man responded. Everything felt incredibly fast; she had married herself off in such a short time.

Her brother too, he had really married Sister-in-law Yan Ting!

"What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Ye took his wife's hand calmly, his steady and powerful voice sounding, extremely gentle.

"I was thinking, I want to take the military medical exam and become a qualified military doctor like Sister-in-law in the future."

Shen Man looked around, and seeing no one passing by, she spoke her heart.

Medicine had always been her passionate field of expertise.

In her past life, she specialized in cardiology and gynecology, and had achieved some success.

Now, she needed to start from scratch; she wanted to pick up the scalpel again and prove her strength and ability!

Jiang Ye stretched out his right hand, his knuckles extending to help his wife tidy up a strand of hair on her temple, his voice gentle:

"Okay, I support you.

If you want to study medicine, then study. After Sister-in-law moves in, we'll ask her what exactly is on the exam, then find relevant books, find a teacher—no rush, take it slow."

He never thought that a woman should hide behind a man and be a virtuous helper behind him.

His wife could do whatever she wanted; if she wanted to learn something, he would support her.

He had the same attitude before marriage as he did after.

"Mm-hmm, Brother Jiang Ye, I have a gift for you."

Shen Man held the man's palm, took the opportunity to hold his left wrist, and exposed his wrist.

"Hm?"

Jiang Ye understood in his heart, but on the surface, he showed a confused look, as if he didn't know.

"A watch. Actually, when I left the Capital, I bought a pair of wristwatches.

This men's watch is what I bought for my future husband; it's part of my dowry."

Shen Man took out the watch wrapped in a cloth bag from her bag. It was a domestic brand, shining with silver light under the sun.

"Brother Jiang Ye, wear my watch, and you'll be my person from now on. Don't take it off unless there's a special situation."

In this day and age, wearing rings wasn't popular.

Moreover, Jiang Ye's status wasn't suitable for wearing one.

Therefore, a watch was a representation of his married status.

"Okay."

Hearing this domineering declaration, Jiang Ye couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.

The old watch face, which had already shattered into a spiderweb, was gently removed.

Replacing it was a brand-new watch representing his new status.

"I've already asked Grandfather to help adjust the time. The old one can be placed in the main room at home, and it can also tell the time."

Shen Man said while fastening the strap. It was a perfect fit; the new watch perfectly matched her man's temperament.

Jiang Ye pinched his wife's hand, gently pulled it to his lips, kissed it, and said solemnly:

"Okay, from now on, you manage the inside, and I manage the outside. You be responsible for being beautiful, and I'll be responsible for earning money to support the family.

I'll do the chores; you just need to learn to survive when I'm not home."

Was this right?

Shen Man's heart was filled with sweet honey, thinking of what Auntie Ge had exhorted: women who know how to act spoiled have good lives.

So, she silently swallowed the rebuttal in her throat.

Okay then.

Since Brother Jiang Ye thought she was a "useless" person who couldn't do chores, a little "waste,"

Then she would default to being unable to do them and lie flat with peace of mind.

"Brother Jiang Ye, I want to mail some wedding candies back to my hometown. The aunts in the neighborhood have taken good care of me all these years. I'm married, such a big happy event, I want to share it with them."

"That's what should be done. Then tomorrow, we'll take the boat to the post office in Haibin City and mail a package back to your hometown. Do you know the address of your hometown and the recipient's address?"

"Mm, I remember."

"Then there's no problem. Tomorrow I'll accompany you to pick out wedding candies. Since they are people who took good care of you in your hometown, we'll pick better wedding candies."

"Mm-hmm."

Shen Man smiled brightly, her eyes filled with affection without knowing it.

If her temperament before was like a magnolia, a secluded orchid in an empty valley, budding and waiting to bloom,

Now her temperament was like a blooming rose, beautiful beyond compare.

With such beauty and figure, no wonder Head Li would have ideas...

"Wife, if that Head Li still troubles you, don't be polite. Don't be afraid of offending people; prioritize your safety."

"Okay, I'll keep that in mind."

The two walked side by side toward their home in the family compound. The man would occasionally lean down and lower his stature to listen. The scene was harmonious and beautiful like a painting, and it was hard for outsiders to blend in.

At the same time, Capital, Lu family.

In the second-floor study, Lu Mingyuan and his son-in-law Gu Tingchen had been talking from morning until afternoon. No one went downstairs for lunch, and no one knew what they were talking about.

On the living room sofa, Lu Manman, with eyes swollen from crying, couldn't hide her fatigue.

Zhang Xuemei had a headache.

She didn't know what was going on; their nanny recruitment notice had been out for a few days, and there was no response.

It forced her to buy groceries early and late recently and cook at home. Her hands, which had always been pampered, weren't used to touching cold water at all!

Her skills were also rusty; the food she cooked was either undercooked or boiled like porridge.

Not to mention the dishes; they were either so salty it was like the salt seller had died, or so bland that her mouth could taste nothing.

She hadn't eaten well or slept well recently; she had sleep paralysis, numb feet, heart palpitations, and made mistakes at work, always being caught and scolded by the Section Chief!

She was over forty years old; being scolded every day, where could she save face!

She finally made it to the weekend, thinking she could rest for two days.

Unexpectedly!

Early in the morning, her daughter and son-in-law came back!

The incident was exposed!

The look her son-in-law gave her had no respect at all; it was dark, cold, and emotionless...

"Wuwuwu."

"Mom, what should I do? Is Tingchen going to discuss divorcing me with Dad?"

"I don't want to divorce."

"Mom, help me think of a way, I can't divorce."

"Stop making noise. Look at you now, where do you look like my, Zhang Xuemei's, daughter?"

Zhang Xuemei was annoyed by the noise, and she was also wondering why the father-in-law and son-in-law in the study had been talking for so long?

What were they talking about? ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
