Chapter 240 Quan
The next morning, when Yang PeiMin went out to fetch hot water, she indeed bumped into Du Juanjuan.
It was awkward.
Of course, it was awkward for Du Juanjuan.
At the sight of Yang PeiMin, Du Juanjuan first froze, then looked uncomfortable and deliberately turned her face away with feigned indifference. Yang PeiMin didn’t intend to revel in her embarrassment and walked past her on her own path.
When she returned after fetching the water, Xiao Xu also arrived, saying he was worried about this and that, and then when he shifted to the side, he saw Political Commissar Zhou and his wife.
The couple had weathered many storms and had no awkwardness in front of Yang PeiMin. They showed no signs of having lied to her the day before.
"Little sister-in-law is back from fetching water," Mrs. Zhou pulled her over. "I’m really sorry about yesterday. Even Old Zhou kept it from me."
Yang PeiMin smiled, "It’s okay, Brother Zhou is quite tender-hearted after all. He told me in the end."
Political Commissar Zhou chuckled twice.
He had come over the previous few days because he had failed to keep a promise he had made to Shen Yiguang, and he wanted to wait two days before coming back. But once his wife found out, she insisted on dragging him over. So here he was, a man who could only smile, no matter what others said.
However, he realized he had worried too much, the kid’s wife had come over, and seeing his kid happy, it seemed like he had actually done a good deed. Thinking this, he straightened his back in an instant and started speaking, "Yiguang, now that your wife is here, you should focus on recovering. Strive to rejoin the unit as soon as possible."
