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

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Xu Linlin’s Revenge

Fu Xiaoxiao paused, ”In theory? Does that mean we don’t necessarily have to follow the theory?”

Lu Feng’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

”Why are you so sensitive to jokes? Of course, we reported a few more days to the higher-ups. Besides, with symptoms like yours, a normal person wouldn’t even be able to sit up!” Xu Yan rolled his eyes at Lu Feng, amazed at his abnormal recovery ability.

”If there’s nothing serious, you can be discharged!” Xu Yan looked at the form handed by the nurse and said casually.

”He couldn’t even stand up yesterday.” Fu Xiaoxiao said earnestly, clearly indicating that Lu Feng was still dizzy, but this stubborn man didn’t take it seriously.

”Well...” Xu Yan glanced at Lu Feng, but Lu Feng remained silent.

Clearly, it was this guy who insisted that he issue the discharge papers; it was purely his own decision and he hadn’t gotten his wife’s agreement.

”He told me to issue it, and he even threatened me that if I didn’t, he’d challenge me when he got better.” Xu Yan immediately sold Lu Feng out entirely, asserting it wasn’t his concern.

Fu Xiaoxiao was stunned, turning to look at Lu Feng angrily.

”...I want to go home to recuperate.” Feeling the murderous glare in her eyes, Lu Feng responded guiltily, avoiding eye contact with Fu Xiaoxiao.

”His external injuries are almost healed, and he refuses to let the hospital nurses change his bandages, so there’s really no reason to stay in the hospital.” Xu Yan looked at Fu Xiaoxiao, putting aside the playful look and speaking seriously.

”But he can’t get out of bed.” Fu Xiaoxiao frowned. That’s easier said than done, because at home he’ll still need to get out of bed, right? ”Besides, there’s no medicine at home?”

”I can give you medicine to take home; he only lets you change his bandages. It would be better to recuperate at home than stay in the hospital.” Xu Yan sneaked a peek at Lu Feng, seeing his relaxed expression, knowing he guessed correctly.

”Then it’s settled. As for his going home, that’s easy. I’ll have someone send him back in a while.” Xu Yan didn’t give Fu Xiaoxiao a chance to refuse, grabbing the form and leaving.

”Ugh...” Fu Xiaoxiao watched Xu Yan leave, reluctantly turning back to look at Lu Feng.

”This way you won’t have to keep running back and forth.” Lu Feng whispered.

Fu Xiaoxiao knew if this man wanted to do something, he would definitely do it. As a boss, he was willful, and as an employee, she could only follow orders.

Xu Yan acted quickly, and just as Fu Xiaoxiao got the medicine, she saw Wang Lu bring five soldiers over.

”Sister-in-law.”

”Thank you for the trouble.” Fu Xiaoxiao nodded in response to the six of them.

”Don’t mention it, sister-in-law.” The six easily lifted Lu Feng.

”Then please send him back first; I’m going to deliver some things to Xiao Lin and will return soon!” Fu Xiaoxiao said, carrying a basket outside.

Fu Xiaoxiao wasn’t going back with them?

Wang Lu looked at Lu Feng, noticing how it seemed Lu Lin and Lu Chen were closer to her, whereas Camp Commander Lu, as a husband, didn’t seem to get much attention?

”What are you looking at? Hurry up and go.”

Fu Xiaoxiao left him behind to deliver food to Lu Lin...

Even though this was what they originally agreed upon, he did say she just needed to focus on the two kids.

Lu Feng felt his heart grow heavy, a nameless anger stuck in his chest.

Fu Xiaoxiao was clear about her priorities; her responsibility was to the two kids, and they took precedence over everything. As for Lu Feng, he’s a grown man and shouldn’t need her care, right?

Of course, as a skilled employee, she would naturally look after the boss, but only a little, and that was that.

Fu Xiaoxiao set Lu Feng aside, walking leisurely down the rural path, humming a tune.

Passing a small creek, Fu Xiaoxiao noticed some tiny shrimp inside, planning to bring the two little ones to catch them during Lu Lin’s upcoming two days of rest. ℯℯ𝑙.

Arriving at Upper River Village during the autumn harvest, Fu Xiaoxiao saw Aunt Wang and others, waving from afar.

Aunt Wang and others saw Fu Xiaoxiao, smiling and waving back.

Fu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded to the villagers, heading toward the school.

”Wow, is that the young wife who sent Old Li’s family to prison? Such a figure, tsk tsk, she must not have given birth! Such a woman is restless once she gets through the door.”

”Exactly, my youngest son saw her last time and asked me to find out about her every day. He wasn’t happy even after hearing she was married; marrying such a wife brings trouble home.”

Hearing people speak ill of Fu Xiaoxiao, Aunt Wang’s face sank, immediately glaring at those gossiping behind Fu Xiaoxiao.

”You better not think about it. What kind of condition is the woman in? Do you think she’d fancy your lazy and false-hearted youngest son?”

”Exactly, calling her a troublemaker, not even realizing you got no right. Has she caused trouble for your family? Putting that label on her?”

”Ugly and yet thinking so highly of yourselves.”

”She’s good-looking and well-off, are you envious or what? How can you let your mouth run like that, did you forget to brush your teeth this morning?”

Aunt Zhang and others were not to be outdone, voicing their support for Fu Xiaoxiao.

”We just said something about her, what’s it to you!” Being criticized by Aunt Wang and others, the two gossipers grumbled irritably.

”If you dare gossip about her again, be careful I don’t flush manure on you!” Aunt Wang threatened annoyingly.

”...Al, alright.” The two looked at each other, only daring to silence their complaints.

Others might only talk, but Aunt Wang would really do such a thing.

Even the village chief couldn’t do much about her, being one of the elders in the village.

Xiao Heng was busy working when he suddenly heard a few old ladies chatting about Fu Xiaoxiao and saw her heading toward the school.

Remembering how she unhesitatingly helped buy him medicine last time, if it weren’t for her medicine, his grandfather wouldn’t have recovered from the fever so quickly. Xiao Heng had always wanted to find a chance to thank her, but she’s not a local, he doesn’t know where to find her.

”Zhao Lin, cover for me; I need a break.” Xiao Heng asked someone to substitute for him, pretending to go to the bathroom but really rushing to the school.

Hearing Fu Xiaoxiao’s name, Xu Linlin raised her head from the field, her eyes full of hatred.

If it wasn’t for Fu Xiaoxiao, she wouldn’t have lost her teaching job and faced laborious work in the fields daily. After a few days, she had several blisters on her hands, which were painfully unbearable.

The hardship she endured was all thanks to Fu Xiaoxiao.

Sweeping her malicious eyes over Fu Xiaoxiao, Xu Linlin sneaked into the woods, then turned towards the Li Family, ready to spill the beans.

Hearing Xu Linlin’s report, Aunt Li’s son, Li Xiang, had a malicious gleam in his eyes, slapped the table, and stood up.

Since Aunt Li was locked up in prison, Li Xiang came home and found not even someone to cook for him, his father was self-centered, only cooking for himself. After two days of hunger, Li Xiang suffered greatly, having been pampered by Aunt Li since childhood and never learning to cook; struggling without someone catering to him, he now realizes Aunt Li’s goodness.

Fu Xiaoxiao, the one who sent his mom to prison, is naturally his enemy.

”That wretch still dares to come! Watch me kill her!” Li Xiang walked to the corner, grabbed a brick, and rushed out.

Watching Li Xiang’s back, madness flashed in Xu Linlin’s eyes.
