Zhou Xiaohui was stunned.

When she realized what was happening, she screamed frantically, "Mom, what do you mean? Why did you hit me?"

Mother Lu rolled up her sleeves and no longer begged Zhou Xiaohui in a humble manner as before.

She pointed at Zhou Xiaohui with two fingers, "You unlucky star, what on earth are you trying to do? Are you going to make my son a deputy head of a regiment for the rest of his life?"

"Zhou Xiaohui, Zhou Xiaohui, how many times have we told you? Yifan no longer has Shen Youran in his heart. Can't you just live a good life with him? What rumors are you spreading outside!"

"Look at what you've done. It's ok that you've caused Yifan to get beaten up several times, but this time you've even prevented him from getting promoted for a long time!"

"Zhou Xiaohui, why are you still alive?"

Each word Lu's mother cursed at was more unpleasant than the last. Every day Zhou Xiaohui cursed back at her, and Lu's father joined in, calling her a less than human being.

The three of them were arguing very loudly. Congcong was so scared that he hid in the room and didn't dare to come out.

At the end of the argument, Zhou Xiaohui ran out of the door.

"Don't go too far. I didn't do anything. Even if I did these things, they are between me and Brother Yifan. What right do you have to come here and point fingers at me?"

Zhou Xiaohui did not go home that night. After Lu Yifan found out about this, he scolded his parents but did not go looking for her.

He no longer wanted to cherish this relationship, and now the family is in chaos.

He would rather stay in the army a little longer than go home early.

The child is not particularly close to him and always likes to be alone.

He had nothing to miss in this house anymore, so he slept alone with the child. Zhou Xiaohui did not come back the next morning.

Congcong was old enough to go to school, so he was sent to school.

After being sent to school, Lu Yifan went to the army on his own. He continued like this for several days until a few days later, Zhou Xiaohui's mother came to his house.

After she persuaded him, Lu Yifan realized that Zhou Xiaohui had been at home all this time, and her brother and sister-in-law had already disliked her.

Lu Yifan had no choice but to buy those things and bring Zhou Xiaohui back.

On the way back, Lu Yifan told Zhou Xiaohui that in the future she just needed to do her duty and not spread rumors or cause trouble in the compound like she did before.

Then there will be no problem.

Zhou Xiaohui said nothing. She really hadn't had a good time these days since she returned home. Her brother and sister-in-law both had complaints about her.

When she went home, she didn't take anything with her, and she didn't have much money, so it would have been fine for just one or two meals, but she ate there for several days.

Every night my sister-in-law quarrels with her brother. The sounds of the quarrel can be heard in her room, but the two of them act as if nothing has happened.

She really wanted to come back, but she felt she couldn't bring herself to do it, so in the end she could only ask her mother to come back and persuade her.

It was finally quiet for a few days.

Zhou Xiaohui cooked well these two days, but Lu Yifan didn't come back when it was time for dinner.

After waiting for another half an hour, all the dishes on the table were cold, and Lu Yifan still hadn't come back. Zhou Xiaohui was a little anxious.

What is going on?

If you were sent out on a mission in the army, someone should come back and tell you.

But until now no one has said that Lu Yifan will not come back.

Congcong was a little hungry and wanted to go over to get some food, but he accidentally overturned the chair and knocked the bowl on the table to the ground.

The crackling sound startled Zhou Xiaohui. She turned around and saw that the dishes and chopsticks on the ground were broken, and most of a dish on the table was spilled.

Congcong stood aside, his hands tightly clasped together, not daring to say anything, obviously afraid.

Zhou Xiaohui was already feeling upset and didn't dare to provoke Lu Yifan for the past two days.

She was already in a bad mood, and when she saw Congcong doing such a bad thing, she picked up the feather duster next to her and grabbed the child.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I'm waiting for your dad to come back here, and you're doing something bad to me, right? Why are you like this, kid!"

Zhou Xiaohui picked up the child and hit him on the buttocks again and again with a feather duster.

The child was crying at home and Zhou Xiaohui was fighting loudly inside. This was the scene Lu Yifan saw when he opened the door.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Yifan frowned.

The others had already returned, the reason he came back just now was because he had been lying in the duel arena for a long time.

It wasn't because he was beaten too hard that he couldn't get up, but he wanted to lie there for a while and think carefully about what he had done in the past few years.

They conduct a written test within the army every two months. Their army has not made any progress from two years ago to now and has always been at the bottom.

Many people looked down on the soldiers in his team.

After thinking for a long time, he finally figured it out. It seems that he still needs to improve the team's performance. He probably won't have a chance to participate in the military district's large-scale exercise this time, but he can't go on like this.

As he limped out of the military area, he happened to meet the division commander.

The commander said a few words to him.

"You must protect everyone before you can protect your own family."

"Only if you make progress yourself can the whole team make progress."

Although it was just two short sentences, on the way back, Lu Yifan had already figured it out.

As long as Zhou Xiaohui can do her duty, she will just live with him and raise the child.

As for things in the army.

We must improve our strength.

Who would have thought that I would see such a situation when I got home?

"I was waiting for you at home, but you didn't come back even though the food was cold. I wanted to go look for you, but Congcong dropped all the dishes on the floor!"

Zhou Xiaohui's face was grim as she scolded the child, "You don't know that this is not the first or second time he has done such bad things. If I don't beat him, he won't remember it at all!"

Lu Yifan looked towards his son.

Congcong stood there. Although he was hit several times, he didn't cry. Tears kept welling up in his eyes but refused to stay.

If tears were about to fall, he would suddenly raise his head and hold them back.

Seeing his son become like this, Lu Yifan really felt that he was the most failed person in the world.

He pulled the corners of his lips, "Zhou Xiaohui, he is just a child, he just broke two bowls, what's the big deal!"

"Look at how you beat the child. Now the child can't even cry!"

"Isn't my salary enough to buy a few bowls?"
