Chapter 216 Who asked you?
Fortunately, nothing happened in the end.
Zhang Dongyuan patted Wang Dazhi on the shoulder: "Did you hear that? Don't let Commander Huo down. If it weren't for Commander Huo's intervention, you wouldn't even be able to be a frontline soldier."
Wang Dazhi had a shoulder injury, and he was wincing in pain, but he could only smile bitterly and say, "I know, it was my fault this time too. There's a knife above one's head. I really didn't expect Du Juan to be a spy. I stepped into a big pit. This won't happen again."
He thought to himself, "How could love suddenly happen to me? It turns out this person was planning to scheme against me from the very beginning."
He almost got tricked.
Zhang Dongyuan said, "The world is not peaceful right now, so you have to be careful in everything you do, and you can't let outsiders take advantage of you."
He paused for a moment, then a curious expression suddenly appeared on his face: "I heard you have a wife and a son in the village. Oh, your son has already been given away. I'm just curious, you already have a wife, so why are you still interested in Dujuan?"
Wang Dazhi didn't know what to say. The rumors had spread so widely that almost everyone knew about them, and he had become a laughing stock.
He didn't believe Zhang Dongyuan was unaware that Zhang Dongyuan was deliberately trying to hurt him by saying those words.
However, he still had to explain, so he could only say, "We didn't get a marriage certificate, so she's not my wife."
“You’re not right. I heard you had a wedding banquet in the village, and she even gave birth to a son for you. That would make you husband and wife.”
Zhang Dongyuan thought Wang Dazhi was a scumbag. Although his behavior was not illegal, it was immoral. So he continued, "But I heard that she recently married Li Hongxing. She takes good care of Li Hongxing's family. The old lady in the Li family is too difficult to deal with, but she tells everyone that her wife is very virtuous and cooks delicious food."
Wang Dazhi felt very uncomfortable.
He knew, of course, what a filial and virtuous woman Zhou Fangfang was; she could do a lot of work by herself, and she did it very well.
When Zhou Fangfang lived in the village, she took good care of his family. Because of this, even though he didn't like her, he never drove her away.
But now Zhou Fangfang isn't going back. She's gone to live with another man, and there's nothing she can do about it.
Wang Dazhi was very annoyed.
He could comfort himself when he was deeply in love with Du Juan, but now that Du Juan is a spy, he feels very uncomfortable.
Huo Chenzhou didn't say anything, he just smiled.
Zhang Dongyuan then asked, "Xiao Huo, what do you think? That person's name is Zhou Fangfang, right? Isn't she a virtuous wife?"
Huo Chenzhou answered flawlessly: "The wives in the military camp are all virtuous wives."
Zhang Dongyuan raised an eyebrow: "When did you become so eloquent? You manage to avoid offending anyone."
Huo Chenzhou chuckled: "It's all thanks to my wife's excellent teaching."
He's different now; he's a married man now, so he can't just praise other women, or Shen Zhixia will get angry.
Looking at Huo Chenzhou, Zhang Dongyuan felt that Huo Chenzhou had matured a lot.
He and Huo Chenzhou had known each other for many years. They were comrades-in-arms in the past. Although their relationship wasn't the best, they were still good business partners.
In the past, Huo Chenzhou was simply someone who dared to charge forward. He was physically strong, brave, and honest, so he was promoted quickly. However, he wasn't very good at speaking and didn't play any tricks. But now he's a bit different.
It seems that Huo Chenzhou is much more strategic this time than before.
It's true that the younger generation surpasses the older one.
Zhang Dongyuan felt he was getting old, and he said to Huo Chenzhou, "I am getting old after all. In the future, it will be the world of you young people. I think you will definitely be able to take my place in the future."
If Huo Chenzhou were to be promoted one more time, he would be able to reach the rank of division commander. Considering the timeline, it would be about time for him to retire.
"Commander, what are you saying? How can I compare to you? You are brave, resourceful, intelligent, and cultured. You have accumulated so much experience to reach this position. I am still far from reaching your level. But I am very grateful that you think highly of me. Don't worry, I will work hard," Huo Chenzhou said.
Huo Chenzhou's words were so eloquent that Zhang Dongyuan found it unbelievable. Huo Chenzhou was usually a man of few words, and it was rare for him to speak so much at once, let alone speak so logically.
After a long while, Zhang Dongyuan said, "You're different now that you've married a wife. You've changed a lot."
Huo Chenzhou chuckled: "My wife is very cultured. She loves reading and encourages me to read as well. She also teaches me to read. When we have free time, we read together in the yard. She occasionally shares some of the principles from the books, and I learn a lot from them."
Zhang Dongyuan: "?"
Who asked him about these things? What bad luck!
He didn't want to know.
Huo Chenzhou seemed oblivious to Zhang Dongyuan's reluctance to listen, and his smile deepened: "My wife is also very virtuous; she cooks for me herself."
Shen Zhixia rarely cooks; he usually does all the cooking. When Huo Chunyan is around, she also cooks, but only once or twice, and Huo Chenzhou can brag about it for a long time.
Zhang Dongyuan: "..."
Speechless.
He waved his hand: "Alright, there's nothing else to do today, you can all leave."
Huo Chenzhou left quickly; he didn't want to stay any longer and wanted to go home to find his wife.
However, he didn't get back until 11 p.m., and he made sure to move quietly so as not to disturb his wife.
When he opened the door, he found a dim kerosene lamp lit in front of the table, and Shen Zhixia was lying on the table waiting for him.
At that moment, he felt his heart was full.
So this is one of the benefits of marriage.
Whenever he returns, there is always someone waiting for him.
But he also felt a pang of heartache: "I already said I'm fine, why are you still waiting for me?"
Shen Zhixia yawned and asked, "What exactly happened? You still haven't told me?"
Huo Chenzhou said, "The spy has been caught. She is a soldier named Du Juan. The higher-ups suspect that Wang Dazhi has a relationship with her, so they want to investigate me. After all, I was the one who let Wang Dazhi join the front-line soldiers."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhixia asked, "Is the investigation finally finished?"
"Well, this matter has nothing to do with Wang Dazhi, so I came back too."
Huo Chenzhou said gently, "You don't need to worry."
