Inside the wooden shed.

Su Haiting held onto Zhou Jiuzhen's hand tightly, refusing to let go, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string.

"Brother Zhou, please stay with me, okay? Every time I close my eyes, I see those five beasts. I don't want to live anymore. I want to go find Big Brother, sob sob sob..."

Grandma Su, who was standing next to her, chimed in, "Jiuzhen, you and Haidi are good brothers. Haidi has lost his parents and only has this one sister left. Please have pity on her for suffering so much and help her to cheer up. If you're not here, she'll definitely do something drastic again!"

"Brother Zhou, my stomach hurts so much, I don't want to live anymore, waaaaah..."

Outside the wooden shed, Ling Huanwu had long been impatient. Hearing the grandmother and granddaughter inside engaging in a moral blackmailing of another woman's husband, she pushed the door open and went in.

"Zhou Jiuzhen, it's getting dark. Don't you want to go home? Does she have a stomachache? Are you going to rub her stomach for her?"

Ling Huanwu called out to him with a cold face, giving him an ultimatum.

Zhou Jiuzhen's body jolted, and he subconsciously wanted to shake off Su Haiting's hand and get up immediately, but he was stopped by a look from Political Commissar Hao, who was standing next to him. He could only reluctantly sit down again.

Once she sat down, Ling Huanwu was completely enraged. She tossed her braid and left the place that made her eyes ache without looking back.

Seeing that his wife was really angry, Zhou Jiuzhen panicked completely. He ignored Commissar Hao's gaze and immediately stood up to leave.

"Haiting, get some rest and don't do anything rash. I'll come see you again tomorrow morning!"

After he finished speaking, ignoring Su Haiting's pitiful crying performance, he chased after Ling Huanwu as if his feet were greased.

Political Commissar Hao, rubbing his forehead, hurriedly chased after Zhou Jiuzhen, who was about to chase after his wife. He grabbed Zhou Jiuzhen and pulled him to a corner, whispering, "Jiuzhen, are you crazy? The higher-ups have already found out that there are many precious historical documents in the treasure. They want us to keep that Comrade Su calm first? If she dies, we'll have no breakthrough in the treasure matter!"

Zhou Jiuzhen tugged at his collar in frustration, his face grim. "You can't just sell me off, can you? You know my wife is pregnant. If she leaves me because of this and then aborts my child, where am I supposed to go to cry?"

Political Commissar Hao waved his hand in disagreement, displaying an air of righteous indignation and a willingness to sacrifice everything for the mission. "If your wife knew that you were contributing your beauty to find the treasure that could save the island for its future development and for the island's people to stay in their hometown, she would not only thank you, but she would also understand you. After all, I think your wife is very generous!"

"As long as you find the treasure, you'll get another second-class merit and be promoted to regimental commander, and your wife will be able to get through this crisis smoothly..."

Political Commissar Hao spoke eloquently, which made Zhou Jiuzhen feel ashamed for disregarding the overall situation.

Zhou Jiuzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he glanced at Political Commissar Hao from head to toe. "Political Commissar, you're still as vigorous as ever and quite charming as ever. Why don't you use your good looks to comfort Comrade Su? I think your wife will be very forgiving!"

In short, Political Commissar Hao's face turned completely black.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Su Haiting doesn't even like me. If you keep talking like this and your sister-in-law hears you, she'll think I'm disrespectful to my elders..."

Political Commissar Hao unleashed a torrent of anger at Zhou Jiuzhen until he met Zhou Jiuzhen's mocking gaze, at which point he belatedly shut his mouth, realizing that he had indeed gone too far.

Zhou Jiuzhen patted Political Commissar Hao on the shoulder and assured him, "Don't worry, Su Haiting won't die. I'll get close to her and take good care of her, and I guarantee I'll find out the exact location of their treasure!"

Political Commissar Hao calmed down a bit and instructed him not to let Ling Huanwu know.

After all, they have already reported the matter, and it is now classified.

Zhou Jiuzhen thought about Ling Huanwu's angry little face just now, and felt extremely troubled, but reluctantly agreed.

*

By the time we returned to the small wooden shed, it was already dark.

Ling Huanwu had already coaxed the three children into bed.

On the small bed, the three little ones lay in a row, all huddled under the covers, with only their three heads and three pairs of eyes showing, their three faces warily staring at their uncle, who was as tall as a small mountain.

They were afraid that if he got upset, he would pick them up and spank them again.

The three of them were terrified, but their aunt, who had just been whispering stories to them, turned away without even acknowledging their uncle, her face stern.

Not only that, Auntie went and grabbed a nylon bag, stuffed all of Uncle's military uniforms into it, and shoved it into Zhou Jiuzhen's hand, saying coldly, "Aren't you supposed to be taking care of your savior's sister? Hurry up and go, don't come back tonight. Maybe she'll try to commit suicide again in the middle of the night, so you might as well stay in her room!"

Zhou Jiuzhen held a bag of clothes with a gloomy expression.

That expression terrified the three little ones in the blankets so much they almost wet their pants, and they were really worried for their aunt.

After all, their aunt looked even fairer than their mother, felt soft to the touch, and smelled sweet.

If this uncle continues to beat them, they'll probably suffer even more than their mother.

Just as the three little ones covered their eyes and dared not look anymore, there was not a sound in the room.

The three little ones quietly opened their eyes and saw that their uncle had once again pinned their aunt down on the bed and was kissing her, with constant moaning sounds filling the air.

The clothes from the nylon bag on the ground were scattered all over the floor.

The three little ones quickly huddled together, trembling with fear once again.

Because the aunt who was originally hitting her uncle has now stopped moving after hitting him a few times!

The three little ones hugged each other even tighter.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Huanwu finally came to her senses and slapped him across the face.

"Zhou Jiuzhen, are you a dog? You bite people the moment you walk in!"
