In the bedroom, Wu Hongbo stood with an increasingly serious expression.

"Honey, what's going on? You came home and didn't eat first, what were you saying to me—"

"Shut up!" Wu Hongbo snapped, looking at Deng Wenfang with displeasure.

"You're yelling at me?" Deng Wenfang wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she blamed Wu Hongbo for getting angry at her. Just as she was about to continue her outburst, she saw Wu Hongbo glaring at her with annoyance and dissatisfaction.

“Enough! Did you speak rudely to Su Yueya in the compound yesterday? Did you say things like, ‘Her husband died, and her child is ill-mannered?’” Wu Hongbo asked.

Deng Wenfang paused for a moment, then scoffed, completely unconcerned.

"Is that all? I thought it was something else. Who told you this? Are those military wives gossiping? Bah! They have the nerve to gossip. Honey, let me tell you, it was Su Yueya's son who bullied Xiaoyu first. As a mother, shouldn't I protect Xiaoyu?"

"But you, instead of helping your own son, why are you lecturing me?"

Deng Wenfang was a little unhappy, feeling that her husband was siding with outsiders.

A family needs to work together to make a good life. If the husband sides with someone else, the family won't be happy.

"That's all?" Wu Hongbo looked at his wife in disbelief. "You dare say that's all? Isn't this a big deal? Do you know how wrong you've been? You're going to ruin—"

"Alright!" Deng Wenfang said impatiently.

"Honey, you're blaming me just because you heard a few rumors from others? Aren't you going to ask me what actually happened first?"

"Su Yueya's son bullied Xiaoyu, and I helped Xiaoyu teach them a lesson. Was I wrong? Besides, I did say that Su Yueya's husband died and her child is fatherless, but isn't that the truth? Did I say anything wrong? Or am I the one who killed Lu Zhengjun?"

The more Deng Wenfang scolded him, the more she felt something was wrong. She looked Wu Hongbo up and down with a suspicious gaze, and then it suddenly dawned on her.

"Oh—honey, could it be that Su Yueya came to you first and accused you of being the villain?"

As Deng Wenfang was talking, she started rolling up her sleeves, looking like she was about to go and fight Su Yueya, which scared Wu Hongbo so much that he quickly grabbed her.

"What do you want to do?!" Wu Hongbo asked.

"What do I want to do? I want to kill that bitch! How dare she gossip in front of you? I'll rip her tongue out!" Deng Wenfang would not allow any woman to ruin her marriage. Xiaoyu is still so young; he can't lose his father.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Wu Hongbo was almost driven mad by Deng Wenfang.

"You're yelling at me again?" Deng Wenfang couldn't believe it. Her husband had repeatedly defended other women in front of her. Could it be...?

That bitch Su Yueya is indeed quite pretty, and her husband has died. Her family's financial situation is indeed quite good, just as those military wives say. Could it be that Old Wu has something on his mind?

"Wu Hongbo, tell me! Have you taken a fancy to that bitch Su Yueya? Let me tell you, we're in a military marriage. If you have any other ideas, don't blame me for making a scene in the army!" Deng Wenfang threatened.

Similar incidents have occurred in this compound before, where women who came with the army were abandoned by their husbands, but in the end, the soldier didn't gain anything.

"Don't push me to the brink! If it weren't for Xiaoyu's sake—"

Wu Hongbo simply couldn't stand listening to this; what was all this nonsense!

"Shut up!" Wu Hongbo grabbed Deng Wenfang's arm and threw her onto the bed. He pointed at her, his fingers trembling with anger.

"Deng Wenfang, watch your mouth! Do you know that what you've done will kill our whole family? You even have your eye on Dr. Su? What makes you think I would want her? She's the widow of Commander Lu. Show some respect!" Wu Hongbo shouted, his forehead veins throbbing with anger at his wife.

"Then what do you mean? You came back and were all mean to me, blaming me for this and that, which is why I overthink things..."

"Do you know who contacted me today?" Wu Hongbo calmed himself down.

He still remembered the promise he made to Liu Yuying. He had to make things clear to his wife and smooth things over with her. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened later, it probably wouldn't be so easily forgotten as it was today.

At that time, even if they begged others, they might not have another chance.

"Who is it?" Deng Wenfang still didn't take it seriously.

“Liu Yuying, Commander Liu!” Wu Hongbo said.

"Division Commander?" Deng Wenfang murmured. She wasn't familiar with the high-ranking leaders in the army, but she would occasionally mention them when chatting with military wives. Why did this name sound so familiar?

Commander Liu... isn't that him!

"Su Yueya's mother?!" Deng Wenfang finally remembered.

During a previous argument, a military wife mentioned Su Yueya's family situation, specifically her division commander mother.

"So it was her who complained to you! She's a division commander, and instead of dealing with things in the army, she's meddling in a dispute in the compound over a child. Isn't that clearly her way of supporting Su Yueya? I think it's all because Su Yueya is holding a grudge, and her whole family is abusing their power!"

"Go ahead and sue them. Even if they report it to the higher-ups, what then? They won't be able to hide the fact that Commander Liu abused his power for his daughter's sake. Let's see how arrogant they can be then—"

"Enough!" Wu Hongbo shouted.

He simply couldn't listen to it anymore.

Commander Liu chose to talk to him about this privately and let him go home to resolve it. That was giving him a chance. They should be grateful. Why would they accuse him of favoritism and bending the law?

"Do you even have a brain? Sue? You really think you'll get away with this if you do?!"

"Insulting martyrs, insulting the widows and children of martyrs—wherever you go, this is your fault, a grave mistake!"

"They're kindly giving us a chance, and you're still being stubborn. You, you really are something else!"

Wu Hongbo was trembling with anger, feeling that he simply couldn't communicate with Deng Wenfang. She was like someone who had been blinded by lard, and no matter what he said, he couldn't understand her. She even thought she was the one who was wronged. What a joke!

"Why should I? What did I do wrong? I was just telling the truth, how is that insulting them? Didn't Su Yueya lose her husband? How did I spread rumors? If you have the guts, just arrest me, I'm not afraid!" Deng Wenfang said, sticking her neck out.

She didn't think it was that serious at all.

It was nothing more than a disagreement between two children in the compound.

Su Yueya couldn't swallow her anger, so she deliberately went home to complain. And coincidentally, her family background was quite good, so she was actually threatened.

In terms of faults, she was completely without fault!

Wu Hongbo: "..."

He was utterly stunned and shocked by Deng Wenfang's remarks. He had no idea that his wife, with whom he shared a bed every day, could be so dull-witted. This was practically going to ruin their entire family!
