Chapter 190 Do you have to leave their relationship so clear?
"Didn't we just recruit soldiers last year? Why are we still recruiting this year? There are only so many people in our village, and every household is short of strong labor. If we join the army and lose our lives, what will our family do?"
"No, the military men stationed in the camp should also consider the difficulties faced by ordinary people like us."
There was a burst of discussion. Xiao Taohong took Li Tannian out and saw Lu Liushun holding a gong with an annoyed look on his face.
He was so good at blacksmithing that Patriarch Lu asked him to publicize it. He really didn't want to do such a thankless job.
"What's the use of telling me? I'm just here to help the old patriarch run errands. If you want to say anything, just go to the village entrance and tell the old patriarch."
After Lu Liushun finished speaking, he took the gong and went to promote elsewhere.
After being reminded by Lu Liushun, everyone headed towards the entrance of the village as if they were waking up from a dream.
This time the camp will recruit at least ten people from Lujia Village. Lujia Village originally only had about a hundred households, which meant that at least one son from each of the ten households would have to enlist in the army.
People of any era are afraid of war, and the battlefield is extremely dangerous, and you may die at any time.
People in the village only want stability, so who would want to live a precarious life of hanging among the dead?
Therefore, as soon as the villagers arrived at the village entrance, they vented their dissatisfaction.
Some people say that recruitment of soldiers usually happens every few years, and they were recruited only last year. They should not come to the village to recruit young men again this year.
Some people directly stated that they would not let their men go, saying that if their men were gone, their family would be gone as well.
Everyone was filled with sorrow, and Old Patriarch Lu also had a worried look on his face. However, the military households stationed in the camp were resolute. They only pulled out the fierce villagers who were making noise in the crowd and scolded them for about ten times, and then put their dissatisfaction to the suppressor.
Lived.
As soon as the people in the camp left, everyone swarmed into Patriarch Lu's home to express dissatisfaction and protest.
Li Tannian watched Xiao Taohong follow him in. Just as he hesitated, he was pulled to the side by Lin Yueniang.
"Sister Nian, don't worry, it won't be Lu Sanlang's turn anyway. In your big family, Lu Sanlang is the only man. If the old patriarch really writes his name on the military roster, isn't it the same as forcing you to death?
? I’m the first to disagree!”
Li Tannian looked helpless as he looked at Lin Yueniang's protective expression.
Let's not talk about whether Lu Zhi is willing to join the army. Let's just say that she is not as weak as her mother said.
Forced to death...Thanks to her mother for being able to figure it out.
Feeling helpless, Li Tannian patted Lin Yueniang's arm soothingly: "Mom, you are wrong. I can live a good life alone."
Lin Yueniang's eyes widened: "Do you really want Lu Sanlang to go to the military camp? How many people die on the battlefield every year? If Lu Sanlang has something wrong with him, what will happen to the four children he left behind?"
Although she also likes the four little ones, she can't accept that Lu Zhi left four children for her daughter!
"How do you know that something will happen to Lu Sanlang? Maybe he can kill the enemy with blood and make great military exploits?"
Li Tannian said this just to stop Lin Yueniang from thinking about other things. In her opinion, she has her own way to go, and Lu Zhi also has his own way to go. Between them, except for her treating his leg,
matter, there will be no other intersections.
Likewise, whether he wants to join the army or not is his own business, and it is not her turn to interfere.
"Sister Nian!" Lin Yueniang looked at Li Tannian with disapproval, "In the past and present, how many people have been able to make a name for themselves by relying on their military exploits? How can you be a daughter of a family without a man around you? I don't know what the people outside will do.
Bullying you!"
Li Tannian frowned and simply said straight to the point: "Mom, Lu Zhi and I have already discussed that we will make peace with him when his legs heal."
Anyway, his leg is almost healed, now it's time to let Lin Yueniang know about it.
"What did you say?" When Lin Yueniang heard this, her eyes suddenly widened. She said, "Do you know what you are talking about? Lu Sanlang treats you very well, you!"
"How is he nice to me?" Li Tannian interrupted Lin Yueniang.
Lin Yueniang's face was stiff.
It would be a great shame and humiliation for the daughter's family to be reconciled!
When she was forced to take her back to the village, wasn't she almost killed by those rumors?
She will never allow her sister Nian to take the same old path she has walked!
After looking around to make sure no one heard her words, Lin Yueniang breathed a sigh of relief, held Li Tannian's hand and walked home.
Li Tannian let her pull him while thinking about how to persuade her.
As soon as the couple left, Lu Zhi, a tall man wearing a long gown, walked out from the corner.
He heard their conversation just after coming out of the old patriarch's house.
Thinking of her words, 'What's wrong with him?', he couldn't help but frown.
Is it possible that she wanted to divorce him because he treated her badly? If he had treated her better, wouldn't she have reconciled?
On the other side, after Lin Yueniang pulled Li Tannian into the room, she continued to talk, saying that she was not allowed to reconcile.
Li Tannian looked at his mother's appearance and became more and more puzzled: "Mom, do you think I care about those rumors? What will I lose if I leave Lu Sanlang and the Lu family? I will still be myself. Then, I can do it too
Isn’t this good to take care of you and grandma?”
Lin Yueniang was so angry and anxious that even her sister Nian didn't even listen to what she said!
"Mom, this is something Lu Sanlang and I have already discussed. You should not get involved. He and I don't have this fate. If you can't accept it, you have to accept it."
Li Tannian knew that it would not be easy for Lin Yueniang to accept this matter. At that moment, after saying this, she turned around and left, leaving only time for her to digest the matter.
As soon as she left the courtyard gate, she saw Lu Zhi standing not far away.
She didn't expect him to be here, and she was stunned for a moment.
Who is he waiting for? Or, how long has he been standing there? Did he hear the conversation between her and her mother?
However, it didn't matter if I heard it, they had already agreed to divorce.
Li Tannian collected his thoughts and when he walked over, he heard him say something softly.
"Little Taohong was looking for you just now. She thought you had gone home, so she came back."
Li Tannian nodded and asked casually: "What did the patriarch say?"
Considering that his legs and feet were not good, she deliberately slowed down her pace. Lu Zhi followed closely behind her and said slowly: "He asked if anyone would volunteer to join the army. If no one volunteered to join the army, they would draw lots."
It has been decided that when the time comes, all the people in the village will be gathered together and ten young adults will be selected."
Li Tannian paused and turned to look at him: "Do you want to join the army?"
"Do you want me to join the army?" Lu Zhi asked without answering.
Li Tannian pursed his lips, confused: "What does this have to do with me? It's your business."
After saying that, she averted her eyes again and continued walking forward.
Do they have to keep their relationship so clear?
Lu Zhi looked at her slender figure, his narrow eyes suddenly filled with darkness.
