Recently, there have been rumors in the family area that someone saw a man running out of a widow's house in the middle of the night. He was wearing a military uniform, but no one knows who he is.

I don’t even know who said that person might be Zheng Youde.

Because Chen Shuifen is not only older than Zheng Youde, but also not pretty. Although Zheng Youde is in his early thirties, he looks good, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Chen Shuifen is fierce, like a shrew, and likes to curse people at every turn. If Zheng Youde doesn't look for women outside, who will?

As for why I have become more diligent recently and started to do housework, it is because I feel sorry for Chen Shuifen, so I want to do some work to compensate Chen Shuifen.

When Chen Shuifen heard this, she was furious and threatened to go back to get a knife and kill Zheng Youde as soon as he came back.

Since Lin Tao finished her confinement, Xu Yuting often brought little Qingming to her home to play. Zhong Jing would also come to see little Yanyue when she had free time.

They are all here now. After little Yanyue finished her confinement, she felt a little less hungry than during the confinement period, but she still ate and slept better than other children.

Little Qingming was held in Xu Yuting's arms, while he was pulling at the small quilt in little Yanyue's arms.

Lin Tao, Xu Yuting and Zhong Jing all persuaded Chen Shuifen.

Xu Yuting: "I don't know what the people who spread this rumor are up to, but you can't just believe it. Although Captain Zheng is noisy at times, he doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing."

What happened back then, when Captain Zheng carried Chen Shuifen everywhere and fed her, was enough to show that Captain Zheng was a man who valued friendship and loyalty.

Lin Tao said, "Don't be impulsive. You have to make sure things are clear before you speak."

Zhong Jing also advised: "As the saying goes, young couples are companions in old age. When you were sick, Captain Zheng stayed with you. Now you even have two children. Captain Zheng doesn't seem like someone who would make such a low-level mistake."

This is probably because Zheng Youde has many of the shortcomings of most men, but in this aspect, he is really down-to-earth.

He also never thought that Chen Shuifen was ugly. Once he received his allowance, he would hand over all his wages. He would go home immediately after work and would not waste time on the road. Everyone saw all of this.

Although Aunt Fang said she didn't know about the past affairs between Zheng Youde and Chen Shuifen, she also advised Chen Shuifen to get things straight first. She couldn't just go back and argue with Captain Zheng based on the rumors spread by outsiders. This would only damage the relationship between the couple and wouldn't be what the person who spread the rumors wanted.

With so many people persuading herself, Chen Shuifen also calmed down.

She said that she must get to the bottom of this matter. If Zheng Youde really dared to do such a thing to let her down, she would immediately kill him. But if it wasn't Zheng Youde, if she found out who spread the rumor, she would tear that person's mouth to pieces.

Although Aunt Fang didn't understand what happened, she felt that Director Zheng wouldn't do that. But since so many people had already helped to persuade Chen Shuifen, she stopped talking.

Instead, she took out the pumpkin seeds she had just fried at home and asked everyone to stop talking and eat something.

Lin Manman sat next to Lin Tao and read a book, occasionally teasing Xiao Yanyue and Xiao Qingming.

*******************************

Only two or three days had passed since Chen Shuifen heard the rumor, but she actually ran into the person who spread the rumor, Huang Aidi.

She told several military wives that the man was most likely Zheng Youde, and she sounded very convincing, as if she had seen him in person.

Huang Aidi: "With someone like Chen Shuifen, it's a good thing that Captain Zheng didn't divorce her. Who can stand her? It's only a matter of time before he finds another woman outside. I think Captain Zheng is amazing that he could tolerate Chen Shuifen for so long. I would have given up long ago if it were me. I saw that widow two days ago. She's not bad looking. She's prettier than Chen Shuifen anyway. Most importantly, she looks feminine. Look at Chen Shuifen, she..."

Before she could finish her words, Chen Shuifen grabbed her hair from behind.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? I don't need you to talk about me! Huang Aidi, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. If it is really Zheng Youde, I will never let him go. If it is not Zheng Youde, I will never let you go!"

If Huang Aidi wasn't pregnant now, Chen Shuifen would have been concerned about the baby in her belly and would have beaten her up.

The words were left there. In the next few days, as soon as Chen Shuifen had the information, she went to find out who saw what happened that night and on what specific day.

On the other hand, the person who was most nervous about this matter was Lin Hui.

Since the incident with the grandmother, Shen Guobin has been treating Lin Hui badly. If it weren't for the sake of the children, he might have divorced her because his wife had died before. The number of times they spent together during this period can be counted on one hand, and it is obviously not as good as when they first got married.

Sometimes Shen Guobin came back very late, and every time he came back he was drunk. I really didn’t know what he had been doing.

This time, with such rumors, Lin Hui was very afraid that the person who was involved with the widow was Shen Guobin. She had not yet given birth to a child for Shen Guobin. What would she do if Shen Guobin really didn't want her anymore?

Now these children are closer to her than their own mother, and she can't let other women come in and reap the benefits.

Lin Hui couldn't sleep at night. Shen Guobin beside her suddenly stood up, which scared Lin Hui so much that she quickly sat up. Shen Guobin was startled and asked angrily: "Are you a ghost?"

Lin Hui didn't care and asked, "Where are you going?"

Shen Guobin said coldly: "Go to the toilet."

Although Shen Guobin said he was going to the toilet, Lin Hui was not so reassured. She still sat on the bed waiting for Shen Guobin. Only when Shen Guobin really came back did she lie down and continue to sleep.

***************************

Lin Tao returned to teaching soon after she finished her confinement. The students in her class missed her very much.

Zhong Jing did find out the news that Chen Shuifen did not.

As she now lived in the fishing village, she knew more people there. She happened to meet a few women who were talking about what happened that day, so she tried to ask if anyone knew the specific day when they saw the man leaving the widow's house.

It just so happened that one of them knew because it was his man who saw it.

That day, her husband went to a friend's house to drink and came back a little late. As a result, he saw a man in military uniform sneaking out of the widow's house. The military uniform was too conspicuous and could be recognized at once. If he was wearing a different color, her husband might not be able to recognize him because he was drunk at the time.

Because of this, the elder sister remembered the date very clearly and said, "It was October 29th. I remember it clearly. There is no mistake."

After Zhong Jing learned the news, she went to tell Chen Shuifen.

Chen Shuifen thought carefully and recalled that Zheng Youde was sleeping soundly on the bed that night. In the middle of the night, Zheng Hongxing wanted to pee. She wanted Zheng Youde to bring the urinal over, but she kicked him but he didn't respond.

"That shouldn't be him." Chen Shuifen said with a sigh of relief.

Fortunately it wasn't him. If Zheng Youde was not at home that day, with Chen Shuifen's temper, she would have rushed over with the knife to fight Zheng Youde.

The truth was finally revealed and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yuting: "I told you, it can't be your Captain Zheng's. In fact, I've seen that widow before, and I can't say she's that pretty. You should be confident, maybe your Captain Zheng likes you. Didn't you also say that you were in poor health at first, and you got sick after you got married, and you couldn't have children for several years, and you were tortured by your mother-in-law and her family. Your Captain Zheng just got promoted to company commander and can let his family accompany the army, so he immediately took you in?"

"I'm not speaking for your Captain Zheng. You told us all these things yourself. Ah Tao and Teacher Zhong were there at the time and they were listening. Although he had many problems in the past, you have reformed him and he looks like a good man now. You shouldn't doubt him based on rumors. Your Captain Zheng has been given a lot of cold shoulder by you recently, right?"

Speaking of this, Lin Tao felt like laughing.

After the rumor came out, Chen Shuifen had been holding a grudge and her temper had become much worse than before. From time to time, Captain Zheng would be scolded by her.

After Zhong Jing brought this news, Chen Shuifen became much more friendly towards him after she was sure that the man who was looking for the widow was not Zheng Youde.

When Zheng Youde returned home in the evening, he saw that his favorite pot-stuffed pork was cooked today, and there were also fried edamame and salted peanuts. The most important thing was that there was wine on the table, which was the Xifeng wine he had collected last time.

Good man, this situation really frightened Zheng Youde, and he quickly pulled over Zheng Xiangyang who was doing homework next to him and asked: "What happened to your mother today? Did you two brothers provoke her again?"

Zheng Xiangyang said: "I don't know, ask your brother."

Zheng Hongxing shook his head: "I don't know either, Dad. Did you offend Mom? This is the last time she will give us three people a beating. Will she just let it go from now on?"

Chen Shuifen happened to come out with dishes and slapped him on the back of the head: "What are you talking about, you little bastard? Who's going to pass?"

"Dad said you don't want to live anymore." Zheng Hongxing said.

Zheng Youde was so angry that he slapped him on the back of the head: "You are awesome, you little bastard have learned to wrongly accuse your father."

Zheng Hongxing snorted angrily: "What if you keep hitting me and make me stupid?"

Chen Shuifen put all the dishes on the table and took off her apron. "Your brother was often beaten when he was a child. How could he get first or second place in the exam? If you are stupid, then you have always been stupid."

Zheng Hongxing: “…”

The family of four sat down at the table. Chen Shuifen raised her glass and held it out to Zheng Youde: "Why are you looking at me? Pour me some wine."

Zheng Youde quickly filled their glasses. Chen Shuifen clinked glasses with him and said briskly, "Old Zheng, I did it."

After saying that, I felt depressed.

Chen Shuifen had a good alcohol tolerance, and later Zheng Youde brought Chen Shuifen to the island. By then, Chen Shuifen's health had recovered, but the couple did not have children yet, so Chen Shuifen often accompanied Zheng Youde to drink.

Drink when you are happy, drink when you are unhappy.

Zheng Youde felt very excited when he saw Chen Shuifen like this, and he did it too. Damn, this feeling was like going back to the time when they didn't have children yet. It was so exciting.

Chen Shuifen drank several cups in a row. Why? Because she was happy because Zheng Youde, the dead man, had not done anything to let her down.

But if this person is not Zheng Youde, then who could it be?
