"Mmm, it really is such a blessing that Sergeant Lu married you, you're so diligent!" It seemed that Mrs. Ge did not understand Jiang Yao's intention of making her leave, and had breached the topic herself, "That's right, my husband is also a platoon leader under Sergeant Lu's command, did you know that? My husband isn't at home these days, not because he's gone somewhere, but he's lying in the hospital. Say, my husband went out with Sergeant Lu together, why did he get injured so badly? Looking at Sergeant Lu, he only had light injuries. Sergeant Lu is, in the end, my husband's leadership. I heard that your husband was also in charge of directing the platoon this time, and I'm not sure why, it was just my husband that had suffered such heavy injuries to the point where he needs to be lying in the hospital."
Jiang Yao listened to Mrs. Ge's blabbering, her eyes twitching violently in annoyance, and she laughed coldly, "If Mr. Ge is in the hospital, why are you not there taking care of him, Mrs. Ge? I understand that Mr. Ge really loves you, and isn't willing to have you suffer at his side in the hospital. However, Mrs. Ge, as military spouses, we should be aware of the suffering that they go through. Although Mr. Ge will say that he doesn't want you to take care of him, there are times when men put on a strong front and pretend. If you were to take care of him in the hospital, I'm sure he would be even happier."
Seeing Mrs. Ge's rapidly paling face and her expression, Jiang Yao felt indescribable satisfaction swelling inside her heart.
Mrs. Ge's previous remarks were getting more and more excessive, she was crossing the line. The only thing she did not do was directly come out and say the words that she had implied with her words, which was why did Lu Xingzhi allow Mr. Ge, who had gone along with him on the mission to sustain heavy injuries, while he himself was fine?
The implication of Mrs. Ge's words was that Mr. Ge's injuries were due to Lu Xingzhi's mistakes, and so Lu Xingzhi needed to be responsible for Mr. Ge's injuries!
That was just absurd and crazy!
Why should her husband be wronged by others like this!
If she did not understand the relationship between Lu Xingzhi and Platoon Leader Ge, and for the sake of not wanting to cause any problems with Lu Xingzhi and his underling, she would really like to give Mrs. Ge a piece of her mind by saying Is Platoon Leader Ge Lu Xingzhi's son? Does he need to be protected by Lu Xingzhi every time he goes out on a mission?'
"I'm really busy, Mrs. Ge." Jiang Yao said impatiently. Not wanting to deal with her anymore, Jiang Yao went to the balcony to turn on the faucet and started to wash the clothes.
