Several of them were sharp-witted, and aside from the newcomer Jiang Qing, the others had fought alongside Lu Zheng for years as brothers.
Watching Lu Zheng's strange demeanor, they all wanted to see what was going on. Who didn’t enjoy a bit of excitement? Especially with someone as lively as Lu Zheng around; they should cherish the moment!
A hint of discomfort flashed across Lu Zheng's face as he tightly clenched his jaw, looking at the few grinning faces before him. He said sternly, "Didn’t I just say? If you’re not married, you can leave first."
"Captain, what are you talking about? Why can’t we listen if we’re not married? The more you say we can’t listen, the more curious I get!" Liu Heng exclaimed.
Lu Zheng glanced at Liu Heng and felt a pang of annoyance. He thought to himself that this brat was asking for trouble again. It was already awkward enough, and now he had the audacity to bring it up so openly!
"Liu Heng, if you’re not married, hurry back! Otherwise, run ten kilometers before coming back!"
Liu Heng rubbed his nose. Despite his reluctance to give up this opportunity, he gritted his teeth and insisted, "Captain, after you finish speaking, I’ll run twenty kilometers if you want! But you have to let me listen first."
Seeing Liu Heng’s unreliable expression made Lu Zheng unwilling to say anything further. If he talked to this brat, the whole unit would know about it in no time.
With Liu Heng leading the charge, the others who initially planned to leave decided to stay and watch.
Lu Zheng turned his gaze to Jiang Qing, who stood silently nearby. "Jiang Qing, I remember you’re also single, right? You can head back too!"
Jiang Qing raised an eyebrow slightly and blinked with a light laugh directed at Lu Zheng. "Captain Lu, I’m curious about what’s going on too! I’m quite interested!"
"Curious!!!"
"Yes! Captain, we won’t spill anything; just tell us quickly! You know us brothers well enough!"
Lu Zheng sighed internally as he looked at them. It was precisely because he knew them too well that he felt uneasy.
Liu Heng rested his chin on his hand and pondered before whispering, "Lu Ge, something’s off with you; something’s really off!"
"Let me guess: if you’re keeping something secret about a woman or a girlfriend, it must be related to your wife! Oh! I got it! You must have upset your wife and want us to help you figure out how to make it up to her. Am I right?"
Liu Heng looked at Lu Zheng with excitement, practically bouncing on his feet!
Lu Zheng's face was ashen, his gaze at Liu Heng radiating coldness. Yet, Liu Heng, this foolish boy, remained oblivious, bouncing around in front of Lu Zheng.
Suddenly, a few people nearby burst into laughter. Lu Zheng turned to look at them, and upon noticing his icy stare, they quickly pressed their lips together in silence, but the mirth in their eyes betrayed them.
"Liu Heng, run ten kilometers now. If you can't finish, don't come back."
Liu Heng pleaded with Lu Zheng, "Brother Lu, let me finish talking before I run!"
"No way! You’ll run thirty kilometers later!"
With a grimace on his face, Liu Heng began to run under the scorching sun.
The remaining few watched Liu Heng get punished and quickly stepped aside. Before long, only a few comrades remained, along with one who stubbornly refused to leave.
Lu Zheng looked at Jiang Qing and saw him shake his head lightly. "I have a fiancée," he said flatly.
"Alright then!" Lu Zheng took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally before slowly saying, "I want to ask you how to pursue a wife. You all know my situation; we haven't been in touch for four years. Our relationship has grown distant, and I want to make a change!"
"Just go for it! Captain, how have you become so foolish? You don't understand such a simple principle!"
The first stab to his heart!
"What do you know? Sister-in-law isn't shallow. The captain definitely doesn't know what she likes! Otherwise, he wouldn't be asking us."
The second stab!
"Our captain can lead troops into battle just fine, but when it comes to dealing with women, he's really not that great. I'm better at it; my wife is the one I pursued!"
The man speaking looked proudly at Lu Zheng, who felt a bit wounded inside.
"The captain isn't infallible!"
The third stab!
"Captain, just throw money at it! If that doesn't work, remember that couples argue at the head of the bed and make up at the foot. It's just that simple! If you treat Sister-in-law well, everything will be resolved!"
The others nodded in agreement and gave a thumbs-up to the man who spoke.
"Impressive! You're brave to say that!"
The man raised his eyebrows proudly and seemed eager to share more experiences with Lu Zheng.
And then came the deepest stab of all!!!
Lu Zheng looked at their unreliable demeanor and regretted it deeply in his heart. Jiang Qing, on the other hand, remained silent, only letting out a low laugh.
Noticing Lu Zheng's gaze, he paused for a moment before offering his suggestion. "I feel like there must be some conflict or misunderstanding between you two. Just clear it up, and it will be fine. I've met your sister-in-law; she's not unreasonable!"
Forget it! A group of men who only knew how to use brute force—he knew it was pointless to ask them anything! "Alright, you can go back now."
Lu Zheng felt somewhat defeated. What kind of soldiers had he trained? They were just like ruffians! The man who had been boasting earlier looked at Lu Zheng in confusion and continued, "Captain, trust me; I’m never wrong! Every time my wife and I argue, as long as we get past that moment, she won't stay mad. If she does, it just means you haven't done enough—just keep trying!"
"Get lost!"
"Hey, Captain, how can you curse at me? I'm just trying to share my heart with you! If it were someone else, I wouldn't even say anything!"
Lu Zheng raised his eyes in irritation to look at him. He couldn’t even touch his own wife’s hand; didn’t he think it was too early to talk about this?
"Old Huang, so you two are doing well, huh? Nobody else knows about it yet!"
A few people gathered around and burst into laughter. Old Huang's face turned red as he couldn’t help but warn them, "You can't say that! If my wife finds out, I'm finished! Just wait and see!"
"Oh? You’re threatening us? Do you think we’re afraid of your threats? By tonight, the whole district will know!"
The group playfully hit each other as they laughed.
Meanwhile, Lu Zheng stood silently in place. Jiang Qing had previously teased him, saying he should just say what he had to say without being so awkward; if his sister-in-law misunderstood their relationship further, things would only get worse!
Earlier, Jiang Qing had looked at Lu Zheng with confusion; he didn’t quite understand why he was meddling in other people's affairs when he used to avoid such situations.
Wen Qian still had no idea that her reputation as a fierce "mother tiger" was about to spread through the family compound! And Lu Zheng would also be the subject of ridicule for a while!
