Chapter 562 Are You Jealous?
"I certainly wouldn’t be able to. I don’t have the time for that!" Feng Chunhua waved her hand dismissively, "I work in the fields in the village, and if I got all dolled up, wouldn’t the villagers laugh me to death?"
"How you look in the village doesn’t matter; Yang Dahe can’t see you there anyway. But now that you’re in the army, look at what the other officers’ wives are wearing. Although they’re not necessarily very pretty or expensive, they at least look neat and tidy, making one feel comfortable at a glance. Now look at what you’re wearing?"
"I..." Feng Chunhua thought there might be some truth to that.
"Look at the staff officer’s young wife. She’s young, isn’t she? Pretty, isn’t she? Look at what she wears—neat and shapely; whenever she passes by any soldier, don’t they all look up to take another glance?" Zhang Guifang continued, "You, you really have never understood men. Do you think their minds are filled with nothing but training every day? Wrong! When they get together, they gossip about their wives and compare their children. Look around, does anyone, like your Dahe, just go home after work? Do you think that’s a good thing?"
Everyone else was comparing wives! And what about Yang Dahe? With a wife like this, and a child raised by such a wife, could his heart be at ease?
That’s why he never mingles with the others!
Logically speaking, he’s also one of the leaders in the regiment with a fairly high rank, accustomed to his orders being followed in the army, but this wife of his made him hang his head.
He missed his first love dearly.
