Chapter 69: The Little Wife I Don’t Know Fully
"Xiao Yu, you really opened your eyes today." Qian Lan said while giving Yu Hui a thumbs up.
Yu Hui smiled embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, please stop laughing at me."
"I'm not kidding you," Qian Lan said seriously. "Sister-in-law, who really thinks you're amazing and admires you from the bottom of my heart? I said I was going to settle the score with Liu Qin, and I thought you were just going there to have an argument, but you actually pinned Liu Qin to the ground and beat her."
"You little girl, with your thin arms and legs, how come you are so good at fighting?" Qian Lan stared at Yu Hui's arms and legs with a look of curiosity.
Yu Hui smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm from the countryside and have been doing farm work since I was a child. Don't look at my thin arms and legs, I look weak, I'm very strong."
"You know, I was an orphan since I was young. I grew up eating at other people's houses in the team. I was bullied and fought with others when I was young. I got this skill from fighting so many times."
Yu Hui said it lightly, but Qian Lan felt distressed when she heard it. She patted her shoulder and said, "You have suffered."
She has had a hard life since she was a child.
Yu Hui pursed her lips and smiled, but the smile seemed forced, as she recalled the days in the orphanage.
"By the way, your Captain Gu is back. When you're at home, you should dress up and get things done early."
Got the job done?
What's the matter?
Yu Hui didn't react for a moment and looked at Qian Lan in confusion.
The latter smiled and whispered in her ear: "It's about that, the bridal chamber."
"Hole..." Yu Hui stared at Qian Lan with wide eyes, an expression that said, "How did you know?"
The original owner and Gu Huai did not have a wedding night, and she never told Qian Lan about it.
Qian Lan understood her expression and said with a smile: "From the way you walk, I can tell whether you and your Captain Gu have..."
She didn't finish her words, but smiled ambiguously.
Yu Hui: Can you really see that?
Qian Lan understood her expression again, "That's nothing. I can even tell if someone is pregnant by watching how they walk."
Yu Hui silently gave her a thumbs up.

"I'm serious." Qian Lan said seriously, "You should quickly settle the matter with your Captain Gu and have a child of your own as soon as possible. It would be best if the child is your own."
Although she is close to Beibei and Xixi, who knows whether they will still be close to her as their stepmother when they grow up.
If their mother just beckons, will these children all run away?
"Yeah." Yu Hui nodded perfunctorily.
In her previous life, she also wanted to have a family and a lovely child, so she is not opposed to having children.
But she really hadn't thought about having a child with Gu Huai at all. After all, their marriage wouldn't last long.
Gu Huai had no feelings for her, he just married her to take care of his children.
To her, Gu Huai was just a strange man she had just met.
Gu Dong and the others' attitude towards her is not as bad as before, but that's only because she, as their stepmother, can cook delicious meals for them, wear beautiful clothes for them, and take care of them diligently.
It's not because they like her as a stepmother that they accept her. What they want is their biological mother. They hope that their parents can remarry and the family can be reunited and complete.
She had said before that she would file for divorce from Gu Huai when he returned.
"Gu Huai, you're back?" Doctor Sun was surprised when he saw Gu Huai walking into the infirmary.
"I'm back, just got home. My two children got a minor injury, Doctor Sun, can you help me apply the medicine?"
When Doctor Sun lowered his head, he found that there were two children following Gu Huai.
"Who beat him?" Doctor Sun asked with a frown.
Gu Huai: "The two children were fighting with Luo Wu's children. Luo Wu's wife saw it and started the fight."
He thought she was the child's stepmother.
"The children were fighting. How could Liu Qin, as an adult, hit them? You should ask Luo Wu for an explanation."
Gu Huai laughed: "My wife has already come to my house and beat Liu Qin."
"Your wife Yu Hui?"
"Um."
Doctor Sun thought of Yu Hui complaining to the military district leaders, and felt that this was something she could do.
"She was so capable of complaining to the military district leadership because someone spread rumors about her, and then asking them to make the final decision and settle the score. It seems like she would do that."
After Dr. Sun finished speaking, he looked at Gu Huai and said with a smile, "You may not know this yet, but your wife is quite capable. There was a female soldier in the art troupe who, along with Luo Wu's wife Liu Qin, spread a rumor about your wife and a platoon leader named Wu Hai in the battalion."
Gu Huai frowned. He knew Wu Hai and he was the platoon leader he was very optimistic about.
How come he and Xiao Hui were being smeared? They were two people who had absolutely no contact.
"Just because Wu Hai saw your wife carrying a lot of things on the road and helped her take something home, and your wife offered him a bowl of water, Liu Qin and the female soldier from the art troupe started a rumor that they were having an improper relationship. The rumor spread to everyone in the military family compound and even to people in the barracks."
Just because of this, a rumor is spread? It's outrageous.
Gu Huai's face darkened.
"Director Sun asked your wife to be careful about the impact. Your wife is also very angry. She went straight to the camp to complain to the division commander..."
Doctor Sun told everything he had heard, including what Yu Hui said in front of Commander Zhan and the others.
"...Commander Zhan and Political Commissar Gao both speak very highly of your young wife."
Gu Huai: "..."
After being away from home for more than a month, he really didn't recognize his young wife anymore. Was the Yu Hui that Doctor Sun mentioned really the same person as the Yu Hui he knew?
Or perhaps he had never truly known his young wife.
Compared with the former, Gu Huai prefers the latter.
They had not been married for long and had little communication and time together, so perhaps he had not really gotten to know her at all.
Once upon a time, she was the introverted, timid and quiet one.
When she was slandered and faced injustice, she was the one who boldly went to the leader to complain and make the decision for her, with clear and well-reasoned arguments.
The child was beaten, and she came to the house to settle the score. It was she who pinned the man down and beat him violently.
People in this world are multifaceted.
Gu Huai was surprised and delighted to suddenly learn about the different side of his young wife.
Doctor Sun prescribed a bottle of blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment. Gu Huai applied the ointment to the two children in the infirmary and then took them home.
On the way, Gu Huai asked the two children, "Did your mother beat you during the days when your father was not at home?"
"No." Gu Xixi answered quickly, "Mom is very good to us. She makes delicious food for me, makes new clothes for me, buys me candies, biscuits, apples, and egg cakes..."
"He took us to the city for Children's Day and bought a ping-pong ball for my eldest brother and a small leather ball for my second brother."
So what Director Sun said about people chasing children around the military family compound and beating them until they cried for their parents was false?
