Chu Li found it amusing.

"You cried because of that?"

Ruan Xianxian looked up in disbelief, "You're still not crying? Tonight I'll find you some cucumbers and let you eat a hundred of them dipped in white sugar."

Chu Liming reached out and patted the little girl's upturned tuft of hair on her head. "Then why don't you cry a little longer?"

Finally, her friends had to take turns trying to calm her down.

Walking along the dirt road leading to the farm tool shed, Ruan Xianxian still looked like she was questioning life, muttering to herself.

"The mooncakes have meat filling, and the cucumbers can be dipped in sugar... Waaah!" She cried again.

Wu Xueliang was so frightened that he almost promised never to dip cucumbers in sugar again, but Zhao Di finally spoke up for justice.

"The cucumbers in my hometown are different from those in the north, which are long and thin. They taste delicious when dipped in sugar."

It turned out that it was because they were different varieties. Although Ruan Xianxian couldn't understand it, she reluctantly accepted it.

The team leader was unusually silent today, barely managing to say hello before bowing his head to assign tasks.

This guy, being cheeky, leaned in and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong? Did someone cheat on you? Is your son even yours?"

The captain took a deep breath, but couldn't hold back any longer, "Why do you think there's meat filling in the zongzi?"

Ruan Xianxian burst into tears!

Half an hour later, she walked back as if nothing had happened. By then, all the tasks had been assigned, and she followed behind the captain.

Xiang Hongjun pretended not to know that she was deliberately avoiding being assigned tasks.

Anyway, nobody cares whether this guy goes to work or not.

"Uncle, did you beat up my sister-in-law when you went back last night?"

Xiang Hongjun frowned. "Who is your sister-in-law? Why would I hit her?"

“It’s Li Chunfen!” Ruan Xianxian analyzed for him, “She is very likely to be both my aunt and my sister-in-law now.”

Xiang Hongjun didn't understand his thought process and nodded in confusion.

"When it comes to stealing people, it's always young men!"

Everyone's out having fun, who wants to bother with some old, gray-haired girl? So, is she my aunt or my sister-in-law now?

The captain reached for the pipe on his lower back. This guy is strong, so his head must be hard too, right?

Ruan Xianxian turned and ran away, saying, "It hurts me to see you being cheated on, but I don't like hearing the truth. Uncle, why are you so hard to please?"

Holding his pipe, he chased after the Red Army for nearly a hundred meters. Due to his leg ailment, he naturally couldn't catch up with the young man and was panting heavily with anger.

Ruan Xianxian poked half her head out from behind an unidentified mud house.

"Uncle, couldn't you have secretly followed my aunt and sister-in-law when they went back to their parents' home?"

Xiang Hongjun suddenly stopped in his tracks, his pupils slightly dilated with shock.

He knew this troublemaker well. It wouldn't be surprising if Li Chunfen offended her and then came to her door with her weapons to beat her up, but this kid would never wantonly slander a woman's reputation.

With trembling hands, he tried several times to light the pipe, but each attempt ended in failure.

Ruan Xianxian sighed and walked back, helped the person sit down under a big tree, and sat down on the ground herself. She took out a special cigarette from her pocket and lit it for the captain.

He calmed down for a while, then asked in a hoarse voice, "How did you know?"

"I was following her last night, planning to put her in a sack and beat her up under the cover of darkness. That's what I saw," Ruan Xianxian said, pointing to her eyes.

That's not actually the case. These are all experiences from a previous life. Li Chunfen's affair should have been discovered a year later.

She didn't pay special attention to it in her past life, but she knew it would cause a particularly ugly and big mess.

Xiang Hongjun fell seriously ill because of this and was too ashamed to show his face for a long time.

It was obvious that Li Chunfen had gotten into trouble yesterday and would definitely run back to her parents' home tonight. She said she wanted to follow her and knock her out, and Xiang Hongjun had no doubt about it.

He finished his cigarette. "How could I possibly know who the adulterer is? Do you know?"

Ruan Xianxian hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Seeing that she opened her mouth several times but couldn't say anything, the captain waved his hand and said, "Alright! If it's difficult, then don't say anything."

That person's identity was indeed quite problematic. She was afraid that if she revealed it, her uncle would kill her to silence her before he even beat Li Chunfen to death.

He raised his head, his eyes resolute. "I'll go with you these two nights. If we can resolve this privately, we will. Listen to me, Uncle. It'll be too ugly if this gets out."

In my past life, when the captain learned that person's identity, he heard that the person had almost killed someone.

Despite the bickering between the father and son, Ruan Xianxian cares about him very much.

Cheating is not limited to men or women, and it has nothing to do with love; few people can tolerate it.

If you can tolerate being cuckolded, what big things can't you accomplish?

In his previous life, Feng Bai lived in Pingtou Village. One night, he accidentally stumbled upon his comrade's widow fighting with someone in the field.

This isn't a big deal; we're all adults, so it's understandable.

The problem arose when, as the two were getting into the swing of things, they said some offensive things.

She wasn't there and didn't know the specifics, but she could guess that the adulterer must have asked the widow who was better, him or the dead man.

In the heat of the moment, he might have uttered even more offensive and obscene words, insulting the martyrs, which is why Feng Bai accidentally killed someone in a fit of rage.

Regardless of Feng Bai's background, his identity as a soldier who shed blood and tears for his country is real. A skilled martial artist can die on the battlefield, but he should not leave the stage in that way.

Of course, she didn't believe that women should remain chaste for anyone.

So, on the night she met the weasel, when she learned that the wild mandarin ducks behind the tree were the fuse that had destroyed several families in her past life, she decisively took action and warned the two that they had been discovered.

Don't say things like, "Isn't it good to be open and aboveboard after remarrying?" If things were that simple, the old saying "It's hard to be a woman" wouldn't exist.

Aside from what happens to her personally, Ruan Xianxian rarely judges right or wrong, and refrains from commenting without seeing the whole picture.

Since then, she has observed that the pair of wild mandarin ducks have never appeared again, and Feng Bai has not followed the same path as in his previous life.

Even if Miyano beat him hard, he probably never intended for him to die!

The same goes for the battalion commander; he admitted there was a bit of personal grudge involved.

"You're coming with me? What would a young, unmarried woman like you do with me?" Xiang Hongjun chuckled.

"During the early years of our marriage, I was often in the army, and you, Aunt Chunfen, endured it all by yourself, taking care of both sets of parents and raising our children."

The absence of a husband makes me feel guilty. At first, she was just not as smart as others, but I don't know how it turned out this way.

The captain wiped his face vigorously, looking somewhat dejected.

Ruan Xianxian hit the nail on the head, "Isn't your family biased towards boys?"

Women raised in families that favor sons over daughters generally only have two possible futures.

She was severely brainwashed by her family of origin, believing that she only had value in life if she gave birth to a son, and was instilled with the strong belief that if she didn't have a son, she would be abandoned by her husband's family sooner or later.

They typically behave submissively before having a son, but once they have a son, they become incredibly powerful and domineering at home.

Either they have exceptionally strong beliefs, and as adults they are able to think independently, break free from vicious cycles, and live a good life by loving themselves and others.

However, there are also some drawbacks. Such strong women often think that if they have a daughter in the future, they must treat her well and not follow the same path as their parents and themselves.

They hope to make up for their childhood deficiencies by raising their daughters, and subconsciously avoid the question of how they would raise a son if they had given birth to one.

The unhappiness of one's family of origin can follow them throughout their life, and nowadays, very few families can truly treat sons and daughters equally...

A happy childhood can heal a lifetime, while an unhappy childhood requires a lifetime to heal.
