This frightened him. He knew that if the two of them didn't communicate well this time, it would become an insurmountable chasm for him in the future.

Almost instinctively, Zhao Qinghuai pulled Lin Ying back: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I won't bring the child back without discussing it with you again. I will never put such a problem in front of you again, and I will never make things difficult for you again."

Furthermore, in this lifetime, I could never touch any woman other than you. Not that I wouldn't, but that I couldn't.

Lin Ying, who had been in a very agitated state, suddenly froze, and her eyes regained their rationality: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Qinghuai didn't really want to say it because it was a bit embarrassing, but he couldn't care less about anything else now: "Back when I first learned about these things, I spent half a year going in and out of all sorts of places to eavesdrop on people. Sometimes I was even under someone's bed. Since then, I haven't been able to have any contact with any woman except you."

Lin Ying suddenly realized why Zhao Qinghuai was still unmarried at the age of 18. So that was the reason.

But: "Don't tell me about psychological problems, and don't say I'm the only one. I'm a medical student, and your reason won't convince me. If there's one me, there might be a second in the future. If you met me out of curiosity because of that reason, there will be another person who makes you curious in the future."

Zhao Qinghuai, my mind won't change. I won't have your child until you're discharged from the army. I don't want to be some tragic heroine, much less the pitiful Wang Baochuan who spent eighteen years in a cold cave, only to have her child stolen and end up digging for wild vegetables.

Zhao Qinghuai, you should understand me. I'm not inherently a selfless person. I can't do things that involve burning myself to light up others. You can continue on your path of kindness, you can be kind to anyone. There are poor people everywhere in this world, you can help them. But before that, remember to come back and get a divorce.

I don't want to be the one who does good deeds outside while I'm the bad guy you have to hide everything from. We shouldn't have any secrets between us outside of work. The moment you start hiding things, the problems between us begin.

If there's someone more important to you than me, then I don't need you.

After saying that, Lin Ying went straight back to her room before Zhao Qinghuai could react.

She felt useless, right? She also felt useless.

She was arguing with Zhao Qinghuai, but she didn't even dare to run away from home. She had to come back to take care of the children.

What's even more infuriating is that it's not that she doesn't dare, but that she can't.

She could go directly to the back mountain and live in the space. However, she worried that if she left, Zhao Qinghuai would go crazy, Shuanzi and Erya would be sent back to their hometown, and that child would also be sent back to continue his miserable life.

She hated this version of herself who, even when angry, still had to be rational and considerate.

When Zhao Qinghuai realized what was happening and wanted to go find Lin Ying, he saw a head stick out from behind Lin Ying's wooden cart and make a sound, signaling him to come out.

Zhao Qinghuai looked at Wang Shan, thought for a moment, and then followed him out.

Wang Shan is the regiment's political commissar; perhaps he can get the answer to this matter from him.

"Come on, come on, your sister-in-law cooked some dishes. You've finally come back, let's have a good chat."

Zhao Qinghuai opened his mouth, but Wang Shan pulled him away.

Upon arriving at Wang Shan's house, Wang Shan sent his son to fetch Zhang Shanlin.

Soon, the three of them were sitting there, drinking and chatting.

"What did you do to make your sister-in-law so angry?"

Zhang Shanlin also looked at Zhao Qinghuai: "You two had a fight? I knew we were bound to argue about this."

Wang Shan was a little confused: "No, do you know what's going on? So I'm the only one who's confused?"

Zhang Shanlin rolled his eyes: "Don't you know what he's been up to these past few days? I heard he left behind a five-year-old grandson before he left."

Wang Shan looked at Zhao Qinghuai in disbelief: "No way?"

Zhao Qinghuai gave a bitter smile: "When I left, Lin Ying gave me a thousand yuan and various ration coupons. When I arrived, the army didn't have any vehicles, so she drove me there. She could accept my older brother's two children, so I thought she could accept this child too. But I didn't expect her reaction to be so strong."

Li Yue'e, who was serving them food from outside, hadn't intended to listen to them, but when she heard Zhao Qinghuai say this, she immediately reacted: "What? You brought back another child?"
