Liu Mei went into the city early in the morning. When she returned to the family compound and heard the news, she rushed over, but the matter was already coming to an end.
She nudged Yao Lixiang's elbow and asked quietly.
"Lixiang, has the commander told the new family members about the rules for the family compound?"
Yao Lixiang nodded, "Yes, it has. With this example, it's a strong deterrent. Don't worry, no one will dare to cause trouble again."
Making an example of someone is the most effective way to deter others, but it's unfair to the two little ones, Chou Chou and Nan Nan.
The little girl cried her eyes out in Zhang Tong's arms, babbling and demanding revenge for her brother. She kept waving her little fists and wouldn't quiet down no matter how she was coaxed. Zhang Tong thought she was frightened.
“Old Xiao, I’m taking the child to see Old Tao. Chou Chou also needs to have her wound checked. You stay here and keep an eye on her. You must see her leave with your own eyes.”
Xiao Dan felt sorry for the children, patted each of their little heads, and said to his wife, "Go ahead, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them."
Liang Jianning packed her bags while crying, her heart filled with resentment.
She's just found a good target; with her looks and skills, she's sure to win him over.
The class monitor, who was getting married for the first time, worked in the cafeteria, where the pay was pretty good.
He also had a sister and brother-in-law who were both soldiers. The good days of marrying him were just around the corner, but before they could even take place, their marriage was cut short.
If it weren't for that brat in front of her, she wouldn't have been so blinded by a little bit of meat.
It's also my sister-in-law's fault. If she had bought more meat to eat normally, she wouldn't have been so greedy and ruined her plans.
Ahhh, I must tell Mom when I get home that since I can't stay in the army, I'll have my older brother send all my allowances home.
He is the older brother, and he has to support his own sister and nephew.
Xiao Dan kept his word, personally escorting Liang Jianning and her son out of the compound, and instructing the guards on duty to keep a close watch on the gate and not allow them to step inside again.
Regardless of her swollen face, aching body, or painful legs, anyone who dares to bully his precious darling must pay the price.
He Zhilan shouted in her heart: "The leader is the most mighty, I'll raise the big flag for you."
surface:
“Jianning, be careful on the road with the child. With the commander watching over you, your sister-in-law won’t dare to help you. It concerns your brother’s future.”
“If you implicate your brother and he can’t send money to our mother for her old age, she’ll skin me alive. You should leave now so that our mother can have something to eat.”
Get out of here, I'm finally free.
"Waaah, sister-in-law, I'm in pain, and I don't have any money on me. Could you secretly give me some..."
"Little sister, hurry up and go. The commander is looking over here. I can't talk to you anymore. Remember to write home and let us know you're safe when you get home."
After making the gesture, He Zhilan quickly distanced herself from her, cutting all ties completely.
Playing the poor card? Everyone knows you just received a subsidy.
The leader was too lenient; he should have made you hand over all the money you had to compensate, so you would truly understand what it means to be utterly helpless.
Even if I don't receive the subsidy, what does it have to do with me? Haven't I eaten enough of what I give you before?
Want more money? No way. I'll just whisper in her ear and tell her that five yuan a month is enough to send back to her mother-in-law. It's none of her business if her mother-in-law wants to support her ungrateful sister-in-law.
Liang Jianbin is just like his wife; outwardly he's reluctant to part with her, but inwardly he's already sent her back to his hometown.
He wasn't worried about the safety of the mother and son. It was just a ferry ride. Both docks had increased patrols, and there was a boat coming in the afternoon. Once they were off the island, they would be home. What was there to worry about?
"Big brother, I can't bear to part with you..."
Liang Jianning was about to cry again when Shishi roared like a lion:
"Get lost! Stop dawdling. Do you need my help? I'm good at throwing people into the sea. Do you want to swim out of the island?"
She rolled up her sleeves, stepped forward, grabbed Liang Jianbin by the back of his shirt, lifted him up, and set him aside like a puppet. Then she clenched her fists and rubbed her palms together as she reached out to Zhu Tou Ning.
The three chickens clucked and flew over, joining their owner in their shared hatred of the enemy. They spread their wings, looking menacing, as if they would swat her away if she didn't leave.
"Ahhh, don't throw me, don't peck me, I'm leaving, I'm leaving."
Startled, Liang Jianning ran away as fast as he could, grabbing the child and fleeing.
Damn it, she looks so skinny and small, but she's incredibly strong. She could easily lift up a tall man.
She was traumatized by being pecked by three chickens, and her legs still throbbed with pain. She would never dare to let chickens near her again.
Liang Jianbin's face burned with embarrassment. He never expected to be a little chick in his life. How strange! The daughter of a high-ranking official—amazing!
I seriously suspect that if she were tall enough, she would definitely have picked me up and shaken me a couple of times before throwing me.
She chased people away, not caring what kind of impression she made on others; she was worried about her friends.
"Dad, I'm going to pick up Chou Chou and Nan Nan."
"Go ahead, and ask your mom to make some good food for Chou Chou to help him recover."
"good."
The gauze was covered in blood. Old Tao applied hemostatic medicine to Chou Chou's wound, prescribed some anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medicine, and told Zhang Tong to take it after meals and not to get the wound wet.
"Okay, I've got it." Zhang Tong nodded repeatedly.
The little girl cried herself to sleep and then got tired. She kept nodding her head and wouldn't go to sleep. Her little hands kept tugging at her ugly fingers and wouldn't let go.
“Darling, Chou Chou is injured and needs to sleep to recover. Let go of him and he will sleep with you.”
With just one sentence from Shishi, Nannan fell asleep like a little piglet the next second; it's tough on her tiny body.
After trying to persuade him for a long time without success, Zhang Tong felt both sad and amused. What a troublesome little guy, so sleepy but still stubbornly holding on.
Even when lying in bed at home, he wouldn't settle down. He would turn his little body 180 degrees and put his short legs on his ugly little belly before he could sleep soundly, which was both funny and exasperating.
When the little girl woke up, she was radiant and her ugly little face had regained its color. She was drinking milk gulping down and eating her meals with gusto, and everyone was finally relieved.
In the evening, when Mr. Tao changed the dressing on Chou Chou's wound, he noticed that some scabs had formed. He was delighted and amazed by the child's remarkable healing ability.
