"I want to eat candy, buy me some candy."

Zhou Fei glared at him unhappily. "What candy? Your mother took all the money in the house. Where would she get the money to buy you candy?"

A seven or eight-year-old boy was lying on the ground throwing a tantrum.

"I don't care, I just want candy. If you don't buy it for me, I'll go find your boss. My mom says that if you have a stepmother, you'll have a stepfather. It's true, none of you care about me."

The child's cries attracted the attention of many people, who all turned to look in this direction.

Zhou Fei felt ashamed, so she used the money she had saved for soap to buy candy for the brat.

"Here you go, I'll eat you to death."

The little boy got the candy and got up from the ground, satisfied.

"This is Li Fuguo's son from his hometown? He's grown so big! What a tragedy."

"What was Dr. Zhou thinking? Why didn't she divorce him and instead chose to raise their son with Li Fuguo?"

"You don't know this, do you? It's because of the previous whistleblower letter. If Zhou Fei and Li Fuguo don't get married, their illicit relationship is a serious offense and they will be discharged from the military."

Amidst the whispers of the crowd, Zhou Fei, enraged and embarrassed, was about to berate Li Fuguo's son when she turned her head and saw Lin Han sitting in the passenger seat of Huo Qizheng's car.

Behind their car was a military transport vehicle, loaded with all sorts of furniture.

Her eyes reddened with jealousy.

If it weren't for Lin Han, she would be the one sitting next to Huo Qizheng right now, and all that furniture would be hers too.

She could then live with Huo Qizheng in the house of a regimental-level cadre with a courtyard.

Instead of living with Li Fuguo, who had been demoted from company commander to soldier, in a small tenement building of only 20 square meters.

There was no kitchen or toilet there, and the hallway was crammed with stoves. When cooking, the whole hallway was filled with grease and smoke, and over time, the house was always greasy and could not be cleaned properly.

To use the toilet, you have to go downstairs to a public dry toilet more than 100 meters away, which can be so smelly in the summer that it can make you faint.

Zhou Fei was seething with hatred; Lin Han had stolen the life that was rightfully hers.

Sitting in the car, Lin Han was completely unaware of Zhou Fei's resentment; she was thinking about how to decorate her new home later.

When they drove to the gate of the courtyard, the people Huo Qizheng had called to help were already waiting outside.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

The soldiers greeted Lin Han in unison, as if they had been trained, which startled Lin Han, mainly because their voices were so loud.

"Hello, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work at all. We're happy that Commander Huo has moved to a new house."

Huo Qizheng and the soldiers unloaded the furniture from the vehicle together, with Lin Han leading the way.

"Put the sofa here, the coffee table there, and the cabinet in that room."

"Yes, yes, move the bed a little to the right, we need to put a large wardrobe here."

Huo Qizheng was very satisfied with the bed he had chosen.

Of all the furniture, he only had a complaint about the bed.

That salesperson clearly had never been married; how could he recommend a 2-meter bed to his wife?

This way, if his wife turns over, he won't be able to hug her anymore. 1.5 meters is just right, not crowded, and the two of them can stay close together. When they sleep at night, he can reach out and pull his wife into his arms.

Lin Han was completely unaware of Huo Qizheng's feelings and had no idea what kind of "earth-shattering" events would unfold after the two officially moved in together.

After the furniture was arranged, the room suddenly became much warmer.

The white walls paired with the natural wood furniture create a fresh and rustic feel. To avoid making the home too monotonous, Lin Han chose a dark green fabric sofa, which instantly brightened up the entire living room.

Huo Qizheng didn't understand these things; he just thought his little wife was quite well-dressed, very different from other families he had seen.

Lin Han was about to start arranging the garden when a head suddenly peeked out from the doorway.

Why are you here?
