Xia Enruo and Gu Shaoxuan were getting out of Yuan Qiang's car.

Since the mission assigned by the Army Regiment has been completed, Xia Enruo no longer needs to stay in the army.

After having dinner at the mess hall, the two went to the guesthouse to pack their things and then took a car back to the city with Yuan Qiang.

Yuan Qiang had already made an appointment with Mao Xiangling to visit her mother at her home the next day, so when Gu Shaoxuan mentioned going home, he was the first to agree.

Gu Shaoxuan carried the pork-filled buns that the cooks had given to Xia Enruo, while Wu Daqiang filled a large bag to the brim.

Xia Enruo was too embarrassed to accept it, but Wu Daqiang insisted on thanking him and stuffed it into Gu Shaoxuan's arms.

Halfway through, Yuan Qiang took a third of it; he also loved the army canteen's signature steamed buns.

As the two walked into the courtyard, they heard shouts coming from afar.

Although it was getting dark, the two people running were still clearly visible.

"It's Sister-in-law Qiuqin and Brother Zhang Xin. What's wrong with them?"

Ge Qiuqin grabbed Gu Shaoxuan's arm and said.

Zhang Xin was seen running away in a disheveled state, occasionally turning back to curse Ge Qiuqin.

"Ge Qiuqin, Ge Qiuqin, you're really something! You actually used a fire stick to hurt your man to death. You'll be struck by lightning."

Zhang Xin had completely lost face; at least everyone in the compound had seen him flee in such a disheveled state.

In the past, everyone said that Zhang Xin was talented; half of the articles published in the military newspaper were attributed to him.

Walking around the compound, people looked up to him, after all, he was an intellectual. Neighbors' children would even ask him for help with unfamiliar words in their homework.

After all, they were different from the illiterate soldiers from the village.

But today, Ge Qiuqin completely tore off his mask, and his panicked escape was like a couplet blown away by the wind, disoriented and lost.

"It looks like Sister Qiuqin is chasing after Zhang Xin. That bastard Zhang Xin must be causing trouble at home again."

Xia Enruo felt utterly disgusted. Was this kind of person even a man?

Ge Qiuqin had long since stopped caring about the cold; she was only wearing a sweater and was waving a fire stick in the wind behind her.

"Zhang Xin, before I get struck by lightning, I'll drag you down to hell too. You're not human, you're a beast worse than a pig or a dog."

"You always beat our mothers with your fists and feet. Today I'm going to burn your arm so you won't go crazy again."

Xia Enruo and Gu Shaoxuan finally learned the whole story. Zhang Xin was a real jerk; he started beating Ge Qiuqin and the child again.

"Shaoxuan, how could your army have such a scoundrel! It's so shameful that I can't even show my face in public. With his infidelity and domestic violence, he'll be sued in court and win every time. He'll even lose his job!"

Zhang Xin ran to Gu Shaoxuan's side as if he had grasped a lifeline.

"Chief of staff, Chief of staff, that damned woman Ge Qiuqin has gone mad! She actually wants to kill me!"

Zhang Xin was still swearing in front of the two of them.

Gu Shaoxuan was already furious. How could such a despicable soldier appear in the regiment? He was always so respectable and acted like a proper gentleman when accompanying the leaders on field trips, but behind their backs, he did such beastly things.

He clenched his fist and punched Zhang Xin twice in the face.

Zhang Xin's nose suddenly started bleeding, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Zhang Xin, who the hell do you think you are? You're supposed to be a soldier, but you beat your wife and kids every day, and you even swear in front of me. If it weren't for the fact that Regiment Commander Lu values ​​you..."

I'm going to cripple you today.

Zhang Xin was a little confused. After all, Gu Shaoxuan was his superior. Being kicked and beaten was commonplace in the army. Who would dare to disobey him?

He could only suffer in silence, there was nothing else he could do. Seeing Ge Qiuqin chasing after him with a bright red stick, he dared not linger.

He covered his nose, got up and ran. It seemed no one would speak up for him here. Ignoring the cold, he ran into the dark night.

Ge Qiuqin came to Xia Enruo's side. After venting her anger, she became much more sober and felt cold.

"Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

Xia Enruo went up and took the fire stick from her hand and threw it aside.

"Chief of Staff, Xia, I've made you two laugh at me again. I really have no choice but to fight back."

My children and I are being bullied to death by this beast.

After saying this, Ge Qiuqin covered her face and cried.

Xia Enruo felt heartbroken upon hearing this. That damned Zhang Xin would be struck by lightning sooner or later.

"Sister-in-law, hurry back inside, or you'll catch a cold."

Xia Enru helped Ge Qiuqin walk back, and Tian Xiuli and Liu Cuiyun followed along the way.

Liu Cuiyun took a cotton coat from home and draped it over Ge Qiuqin.

As soon as everyone entered the house, they found the floor littered with mess and broken glass everywhere.

Zhang Zhicheng, with blood streaming down his arm, led his younger siblings.

The children, being sensible, didn't cry. When they saw their mother come in, they rushed over to her.

"Don't move the child around, be careful not to prick their foot."

Xia Enruo hurriedly called out.

"Shaoxuan, Zhicheng's cut on his arm is so deep, he needs to go to the hospital. Quickly get a cloth to wrap it up and take him to the hospital."

Ge Qiuqin wiped away her tears and got up to go with them, but was pressed back down onto the sofa.

"Alright, you're still injured. The chief of staff can go alone. I'll have my wife go with him, so don't worry. We'll help you tidy up the house at home."

Liu Cuiyun tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped it around Zhang Zhicheng's arm before leaving the house with Gu Shaoxuan.

“Sister-in-law, Sister Cuiyun is right. Zhicheng’s injury is not serious, but he needs to go to the hospital to get stitches. Shaoxuan and the others can go. Don’t you care about the children at home?”

We'll tidy up the house for you, so please don't move around too much. Be careful not to cut your feet in your slippers.

Xia Enruo and Tian Xiuli carried the three children to bed. The children were very obedient and did not cry at all.

The youngest daughter stared intently at her mother, knowing she couldn't make a fuss now, as the aunties were helping her family.

The two little ones hugged their little sister without crying once.

Xia Enruo picked up a broom and swept away the glass shards, while Tian Xiuli went home to get iodine and cotton swabs to help Ge Qiuqin clean her wounds.

"Sister Xiuli, you must check if there is any broken glass in Sister Qiuqin's wound. I'm afraid the wound will become infected if the glass is not removed."

"Okay, Xia, don't worry. I'm looking very carefully!"

The sight of broken glass all over the room and bloodstains on the floor made Xia Enruo extremely angry.

Judging from the scene, it was clear that Zhang Xin had just gone berserk again and had beaten his wife and children quite a bit.

Are they local bullies? It's hard to imagine how they bullied their neighbors back in their rural hometown, especially since they're still so arrogant in Yongning.

Heaven must be blind to allow this family to thrive and live such a happy life.

The way Erban and Zhang Lei acted so arrogantly last time, anyone who didn't know them would think they were royalty. They were so cocky!

Zhang Xin is a disgrace to society; he'll get his comeuppance sooner or later.
