Chapter 659 He's the one for me in this life.
When Xu Jianbin finally found Zhang Yue, he stared at her protruding belly in disbelief. "What happened to you?"
Zhang Yue clutched her lower abdomen, took a step back, and closed the door.
Qianjin went to the village early this morning, and his mother-in-law went out to buy groceries. What should he do now?
When she was with Xu Jianbin, she thought that's how a married couple should live.
It was only after she married Gan Qianjin that she discovered that married couples could live like this.
Gan Qianjin treated her like the apple of his eye. As soon as she became pregnant, he stopped her from working in Luoning's workshop in town and told her to stay home and rest.
He was responsible for earning money to support his family and raise his children.
There was good food at home, and it was all given to her and her mother-in-law.
Zhang Yue's heart gradually leaned towards Gan Qianjin, and she wanted to have a child with him so that the three of them could live a peaceful and stable life together.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jianbin suddenly appeared, and he even had a broken leg...
"Zhang Yue, open the door!" Xu Jianbin pounded on the door frantically. Zhang Yue was pregnant, which was a great humiliation for him.
He had been gone for more than half a year, and she had only just become pregnant.
The child in her belly isn't his!
That damn bitch, how dare she cuckold him!
Zhang Yue huddled by the door, tears streaming down her face, her mind a jumbled mess.
Seeing no movement inside, Xu Jianbin, leaning on his cane, kicked the door open.
The door gradually became shaky and on the verge of collapse under his ravages.
Gan Qianjin, who rushed home suddenly, saw Xu Jianbin acting crazy and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Xu Jianbin turned his head and saw a tall man approaching, looking impatient. "This is none of your business, get out of my way!"
"This is my home, why is it none of my business!" Gan Qianjin stepped forward, before he even touched Xu Jianbin.
Xu Jianbin's eyes flickered for a moment, then he fell straight to the ground with a scream.
Gan Qianjin: "..."
The door opened immediately, and Zhang Yue, with tears streaming down her face, ran out and helped Xu Jianbin up.
Xu Jianbin smiled victoriously at Gan Qianjin, thinking, "See? My woman is still on my side."
"Honey, I've retired from the army. Now I can take care of you wholeheartedly. Let's go back to our hometown!" Xu Jianbin said, holding Zhang Yue's hand with deep affection.
"Xiaoyue...no..." Gan Qianjin panicked. How could that man be so shameless?
He knew that Zhang Yue had been married to a soldier before, and upon seeing this man, Gan Qianjin felt that he had tarnished the reputation of soldiers.
Zhang Yue glanced at Gan Qianjin with teary eyes, then helped Xu Jianbin leave.
As Gan Qianjin watched her gradually disappear from his sight, his heart sank little by little, finally plunging into an icy abyss.
He still couldn't compare to that shameless man's importance in Xiaoyue's heart, haha...
When Jiang Qiongfang returned from grocery shopping, she saw Gan Qianjin standing blankly at the door. Confused, she walked over and asked, "Qianjin, what's wrong?"
"Mom, Xiaoyue is gone." Gan Qianjin's eyes suddenly reddened, and he felt pain in his internal organs.
"What?" Jiang Qiongfang's mind went blank for a moment, and she dropped the vegetable basket on the ground.
"Where did you go?"
“That man is here. They went back to their hometown,” Gan Qianjin said, his voice choked with emotion.
Jiang Qiongfang jumped up as if she'd been stepped on, grabbed a broom and left. "Qianjin, take the vegetable basket inside and make lunch. I'm going to find Xiaoyue. Don't worry, I'll definitely bring her back. You're already married, she can't leave!"
Gan Qianjin shook his head secretly. Zhang Yue's heart wasn't with him; even if they got the marriage certificate, it wouldn't change anything.
After a long while, he wiped his face, picked up the vegetable basket and went inside, feeling as if all his strength had been drained.
Gan Qianjin plopped down in the chair, covering his face and shrugging his shoulders.
"Squeak!" The half-closed door was pushed open, and the sound of light footsteps grew closer.
Gan Qianjin covered his face and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, since Xiaoyue has feelings for him, I will let them be together. I only ask that she give birth to the child and let me raise it. After all, it is my child. That man will not like her. This way, Xiaoyue will have an easier time!"
"You idiot!" Zhang Yue hugged Gan Qianjin and cried her heart out.
"Xiaoyue?" Gan Qianjin was overjoyed. He removed his hands, looked up, and sure enough, saw Zhang Yue. Overwhelmed with excitement, he hugged Zhang Yue tightly around the waist. "Didn't you leave? Why are you back?"
"You silly girl, you've been so good to me, how could I bear to leave you?" Zhang Yue's tears streamed down her cheeks and onto Gan Jinqian's face.
"What I just said was from the bottom of my heart. If you want to go with him, I won't stop you, as long as you're happy."
"I'll bring the baby back after you give birth, just so I can have something to remember you by!" Gan Qianjin wiped away Zhang Yue's tears with his rough hands and coaxed her awkwardly.
"Don't cry. You haven't enjoyed any happiness with me these past few days. Take all the savings from home, and get pregnant..."
"Stop talking, I'm not leaving, I'm not going anywhere!" Zhang Yue's tears fell like beads from a broken string.
What merit does a divorced woman like her possess to deserve such treatment from Gan Qianjin?
"Really?" Gan Qianjin could hardly believe what he was hearing, and his hands holding Zhang Yue trembled slightly.
"Of course it's true. I'm a little hungry, I'll go cook first and I'll tell you later!" Zhang Yue walked to the door, wanting to pick up the grocery basket.
Gan Qianjin snatched the vegetable basket and rushed to the kitchen to cook, as if he had inexhaustible energy.
A short while later, Zhang Yue sat in front of the stove with a bowl of sweet fermented rice and eggs, eating it with relish.
Gan Qianjin actually made her four poached eggs, which was even more extravagant than postpartum confinement.
She ate two and left two for Gan Qianjin, who was cooking, saying, "You can eat the rest!"
“You’re pregnant now, you need to increase your nutrition. I’m a grown man, I don’t need to eat this.” Gan Qianjin put down the cleaver and handed the bowl back to Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue placed the bowl on the stove. "If I eat any more, I won't be able to eat lunch. You are the pillar of our family. My child, my mother, and I will all rely on you in the future. You must have a healthy body. Eat quickly. Besides, Mom said that the nutrition in the early stages doesn't need to be too good, otherwise the baby will be too big to give birth to."
"Is that what they say?" Gan Qianjin was dumbfounded. He didn't want his wife to suffer.
"In that case, let's keep it for Mom."
Zhang Yue's expression instantly turned a little sullen. "Oh dear, it's not good to leave the ones I've already eaten for Mom, and besides, we don't know when she'll be back. Poached eggs won't taste good if they get cold. I'll make them for her when she gets back."
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife!" Gan Qianjin picked up his bowl, ate the poached egg in a few bites, and continued cooking.
While washing the dishes, Zhang Yue glanced back at Gan Qianjin, who was chopping vegetables. She thought to herself, "He's the one for me!"
She was with Xu Jianbin for so many years, but she wasn't as affectionate as she was during the few months she was married to Gan Qianjin.
"Qianjin, I took Xu Jianbin to the guesthouse and came back. I heard that the village militia put him on the train and we won't see him again. Let's live well together."
Gan Qianjin paused in his chopping, turned around, and looked at Zhang Yue, nodding heavily.
This was the last time Zhang Yue saw Xu Jianbin. She didn't hear news about Xu Jianbin again until decades later.
