Chapter 184: Agreeing

“Grandma?” Qiao Mei asked as she looked at Xia Zhe.

“Yes, this is what Grandma left for her future granddaughter-in-law. It’s yours to begin with so why should I take it back,” Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei tenderly and said.

Seeing Xia Zhe, who was cold and unsympathetic to others, being so affectionate to her, Qiao Mei could not help but want to get closer to him.

“Since it’s for her granddaughter-in-law, you can’t take it back. You can’t go back on your word in the future either!” Qiao Mei only felt at ease after confirming that Xia Zhe would not take the pendant away.

She could not bear to give such a good treasure to anyone.

Qiao Mei smiled sweetly at Xia Zhe as he held her hand and said, “Alright, I’m going back to the troops to take a look at the soldiers. I have to make some arrangements for work. Don’t walk around randomly.”

“Yes, I understand. Go ahead!” Qiao Mei nodded and said dociley.

Xia Zhe stood up and gave Qiao Mei a pat on the head before leaving.

There were three people sitting by the tree stump not far from the door, sighing and lamenting about life.

“Hey, why do you think big brother is so lucky!” Zhao Wu said.

“That’s right. Sister-in-law is such a nice person, big brother really has it good. I also want a wife!” Zhang Yong said.

Zhuang Hua remained silent. Seeing this, Zhao Wu stepped on Zhuang Hua’s foot and said, “Why are you so quiet, say something.”

“Me? What can I say? I thought that the beautiful girl was mine and that I could let my parents meet their daughter-in-law. Now, their daughter-in-law has turned into my sister-in-law,” Zhuang Hua said irritably.

“Sigh…” The three of them sighed at the same time and sat on the tree stump dejectedly.

“What are the three of you doing here and looking so listless? Are your troops ready?” Xia Zhe walked over and asked.

Zhao Wu looked up at Xia Zhe and turned his head away in annoyance.

“Huh? What’s wrong with him?” Xia Zhe pointed at Zhao Wu and looked at Zhang Yong and Zhuang Hua in confusion.

“Oh him. He also wants to have a girlfriend, or a wife,” Zhang Yong teased.

Zhao Wu angrily picked up the cap beside him and threw it over while saying, “You’re talking nonsense! Big brother, don’t listen to what he says. It’s nothing.”

Xia Zhe looked at this person and then that person, suppressing the smile on his lips and coughing lightly.

“Ahem, how about I introduce you to a few nice girls later,” Xia Zhe said.

Zhao Wu’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

“Big brother, is that true? Are they similar to sister-in-law and as nice as her?” Zhao Wu stood up and looked at Xia Zhe.

Hearing this, Xia Zhe gave him a kick.

“You deserve to be taught a lesson. That’s my wife. What do you mean by asking if they are similar to her?” Xia Zhe frowned and said.

“Hehe, big brother, I just meant it superficially.” Zhao Wu also felt that what he said earlier was a little abrupt and held his own head in embarrassment.

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll find you all better ones, is that alright!” Xia Zhe said with a laugh.

Zhuang Hua stood up and put his arm around Xia Zhe’s shoulder. “Big brother, you said it yourself! You can’t go back on your word!”

“That’s right, that’s right!” Zhang Yong echoed in agreement.

Xia Zhe nodded solemnly and said teasingly, “Yes, yes, yes, that’s what I said. Do I need to write a contract for you?”

“Hahahahahaha, it’s not impossible!” Zhao Wu said.

“Hahahahaha!” The few of them put their arms around one another and laughed.

Zheng Yuan watched Xia Zhe walk out of the tent alone before she slowly approached the group of men.

“What are you guys laughing at so happily?” Zheng Yuan smiled as she walked over.

When the men saw that it was Zheng Yuan, they awkwardly let go of one another and stood there in silence.

“Oh… we were just… just talking…” Zhao Wu stammered, not knowing what to say as he kept winking at Zhuang Hua to signal him to reply.

“Yes, we’re doing a summary on how successful this rescue mission is! There are basically no serious injuries or deaths, and the mission is completed in a timely manner!” Zhuang Hua said agitatedly.

“Yes, yes, yes, that’s what we were talking about,” Zhang Yong echoed in agreement.
