"Aunt, I wanted to say this, but before I could, Qin Xue threatened me that if I dared to make things worse, I wouldn't even be able to work as a temporary worker. I'm scared! If my temporary job is gone, wouldn't my mom's previous layoffs be in vain? My brother and sister-in-law won't tolerate me anymore. Where will there be a place for me at home?"

Chen Zhiwei also looked aggrieved. He did not expect Qin Xue to be so tough and to be determined to fight to the death. Under such an attitude, he could only choose to retreat. A person can usually act like a bully, but when he meets someone who is truly not afraid of life and death, all his nature will be exposed.

"You believe everything she says? I really don't know what you have learned in the countryside all these years? Her father is the head of the regiment. As the old saying goes, he is a local tyrant. Do you know what a local tyrant is? Your uncle has only become a battalion commander at his age. Even if she lost your job, can her father not arrange a job for you after you two are together? Can he watch his daughter support you? Not to mention a temporary job, you need a regular job. Why don't you use your brain and think about it? You have ruined such a good opportunity. How can I help you?" Chen Lijuan's face was full of disappointment. She was very angry at her nephew's cowardly look. She didn't expect that the situation that originally had all the advantages would come to this point.

"But now... now we are back." Chen Zhiwei's face was full of regret. He was so scared at the time that he didn't have time to analyze the pros and cons of this matter. He missed the best opportunity. Now talking about these things would only make him regret it.

"So I said, I have tried my best to help you in this matter. It is entirely your own fault that you have come to this point now. There is nothing I can do." Chen Lijuan was very sincere to her nephew. She was thinking that if she could get close to the leader in the future, it would also be good for her husband. Maybe she could get a promotion in the future. Even if she couldn't be promoted to leader, she could still try to become deputy leader. As a result, it seemed like everything was in vain.

What she should think about now is how to make amends to Zhao Yun and maintain this relationship.

Chen Zhiwei's voice was filled with panic: "Aunt, I'm completely dependent on you now, you can't just ignore me."

Chen Lijuan sighed deeply, her face looking very embarrassed. "I want to help you too! But you lost today. Such a good opportunity. If it works out for you, you will be the son-in-law of the dragon. If it doesn't, you will have no choice but to break up with the other party. I never thought that in the end you would break up with the other party. We are now at a point where we can neither retreat nor advance. Forget about the girls in the military zone. Think about finding a girl from the city!"

Looking at his aunt's attitude, Chen Zhiwei realized that there was no room for maneuver in this matter. Forcing his aunt to go down might make her angry, so it would be better to leave it at that. After all, his aunt would not harm him. If he made his aunt unhappy, she would not think of him when good things happened in the future.

Not long after Song Zhi returned home, Gu Huaijin came home carrying a pile of firewood.

Seeing how hard he worked, Song Zhi felt guilty and asked, "Would you like some water?"

"drink."

Song Zhi quickly ran to the kitchen and poured him a glass of warm water. Gu Huaijin walked back from the mountain very fast, but he was also very hot. Although it was extremely cold, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Gu Huaijin took the water, tilted his head back and drank it down in big gulps. The glass of water was soon empty. Song Zhi took the teacup with great insight.

"You've worked hard all morning, take a good rest."

Now Gu Huaijin had no choice but to look her in the face and asked with a somewhat uncertain tone, "Are you okay?"

Her attentive attitude made Gu Huaijin a little scared, and he unconsciously asked what was on his mind.

Song Zhi: "...". She

She looked at him silently, then said seriously, "I suddenly realized you're a pretty nice person."

Then he recounted what happened after he left that morning. Now it was Gu Huaijin's turn to remain silent. He felt he needed to explain and prove his innocence: "People are different. You can't treat me the same as other men just because they are not good. That's unfair to me. I feel like you have too much inner drama."

She didn't know if it was Song Zhi's illusion, but she felt that Gu Huaijin sounded aggrieved when she said this. Song Zhi quickly shook her head. What kind of ridiculous idea was this?

Song Zhi smiled awkwardly, indicating that she didn't have such an idea: "Why would I think so? It's just because the things he did were so disgusting. When compared to that, I found that you are a good person." Song Zhi felt that the more she explained, the more confused she became, but she really didn't mean anything else. She just simply felt that he was quite responsible as a husband and as a man.

Gu Huaijin looked at her deeply, pursed his lips and said nothing, his expression looking a little serious.

Song Zhidao showed no sign of fear, so he interrupted with a flattering smile, "Why don't you go and light the kang first?"

Even if Gu Huaijin was angry, he was just sulking. Song Zhi would never try to coax him, but would just let him work on his own and slowly digest his anger.

Gu Huaijin still did as she said and picked up the firewood to heat the kang, thinking that she only looked cuter when she made him work.

When Captain Qin returned home in the afternoon, he saw the atmosphere at home and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Although Zhao Yun hadn't let Qin Yu and Dong Dong out that morning, they had watched everything from inside the house. Qin Yu couldn't help but complain, "It's the guy I introduced to my sister. My family has already said he's not suitable for me, and he's here to cause trouble again."

Qin Wei's originally smiling face faded visibly after hearing this, and turned gloomy: "Is it Sister Chen, the nephew she introduced to me some time ago?"

He knew about this matter, which was originally a woman's matter. At that time, the matter was glossed over. He felt that it was not good for a grown man like him to interfere, so he swallowed his anger and let it go.

Although the tone was questioning, it was a definitive rhetorical question. Zhao Yun's heart skipped a beat and he said anxiously, "This matter has already passed. You must not make any mistakes."

When he was young, Captain Qin was not as elegant and calm as he is now. He was also a young man with a bad temper. Although he did not beat his wife and was a family-oriented person at home, he was a domineering person outside. He would beat anyone who bullied his brothers to death, let alone his daughter.

Zhao Yun's worries were not unreasonable. Qin Wei really didn't want to let him go. Although the experience of these decades had not changed his character, it had also taught him ways to solve problems, more than one way. Sometimes one could solve his own troubles at a very small cost, rather than just rushing head-on into battle.
