After realizing it was a misunderstanding, Ye Zhaozhao returned to the family compound and encountered a woman carrying a basket on her back on the way.
The woman walked very slowly, seemingly heading up the mountain. The next second, she was seen clutching her stomach and collapsing to the ground.
Ye Zhaozhao quickly stopped the car and went over to check on her; the woman was covered in sweat.
"Comrade, are you also from the family compound?"
Ye Zhaozhao asked a question, and the woman looked up at her, recognizing her as Gu Yunduan's wife.
"Are you Comrade Ye?"
Knowing that she lived in the family compound, Ye Zhaozhao helped her up and examined her, discovering that she had menstrual cramps.
"Why did you go up the mountain if you weren't feeling well?"
"I'm fine, I'll just go home and get some sleep."
The woman didn't take it seriously; she used to just sleep it off when she felt unwell. Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, Ye Zhaozhao spoke up.
"Your condition is very serious. You must take medication to regulate it, otherwise it will cause serious problems in the future."
Hearing Ye Zhaozhao say this, the woman felt inexplicably flustered.
"But my family doesn't have the money for medical treatment, so I won't trouble you."
Her first concern wasn't her health, but her money.
Looking at what she's wearing, it's clear she's not living a good life.
"Get in the car first, I'll take you back."
The woman did not resist; she felt weak all over and had no strength left to fight back.
Driving all the way to her family compound, knowing that she was from Battalion Commander Song's family, Ye Zhaozhao took her directly home.
Ye Zhaozhao first filled a thermos with hot water for her to use as a hot compress, and then went to boil a cup of brown sugar and egg water for her.
There was no one at home, not even Battalion Commander Song. Ye Zhaozhao didn't rush to leave, thinking she would wait until the woman calmed down before leaving.
The woman drank brown sugar and egg water, and there was also a thermos.
She's much better now. She was tired from climbing the mountain during the day and has fallen asleep in just a short while.
Ye Zhaozhao went home after she fell asleep, and the woman came to her door the next day.
She brought only the wild fruits she had gathered from the mountain; that was all she had to give Ye Zhaozhao.
After Ye Zhaozhao accepted the medicine, she gave her some medicinal herbs and told her to drink them. She said that after drinking them, her menstrual cramps would be relieved a lot.
Xiao Nuan didn't know how to thank Ye Zhaozhao, so she could only speak well of her in the family compound.
Within a few days, everyone knew about Ye Zhaozhao's good reputation. People already had a good impression of her, and it was rare for Chu Aili to come out.
But then they heard everyone praising Ye Zhaozhao, saying that everyone in the family compound had received her help.
Chu Aili had failed to gain any advantage over Ye Zhaozhao several times, and instead had been tricked by her, so she held a grudge in her heart.
"I think you guys are really useless. Since she knows medicine, isn't it only right that she treats you?"
Upon hearing Chu Aili's words, everyone silently distanced themselves from her. There's no such thing as "should" in this world.
Chu Aili noticed this, and she wanted to say something more, but everyone was afraid of offending Ye Zhaozhao, so they quickly made an excuse to leave.
She had been upset outside, and when she got home, her son clung to her, and she watched him cry with snot and tears streaming down his face.
Chu Aili felt a sudden, inexplicable aversion.
"Mom, I want to eat meat. When are you going to buy me some?"
"All you ever do is eat! Look how fat you've gotten! When are you going to focus on your studies?"
The son had never seen Chu Aili like this before, and he was immediately terrified, crying incessantly.
No one paid any attention to what she heard. Only after Chu Aili finished scolding him did she realize that this was her own son.
But the family had no money to buy meat, so she had no choice but to take her son to the cafeteria to eat meat.
No matter what, she is a military family member, and the canteen won't kick her out.
One meal is fine, but if it's like this every time, even the head chef in the cafeteria has something to say about it.
The news that Chu Aili brought her son to freeload meat quickly spread, and everyone scoffed at it.
The military canteen has a daily food ration, and even military family members have to pay for it. I've never seen two people get food for free like these two.
Some people said that Chu Aili did it on purpose, since she receives a lot of money as a man's allowance.
"You still don't know?"
"Know what?"
An insider came forward and said that Chu Aili's husband had lent all his money to the female soldiers, which was why Chu Aili was broke.
For a moment, everyone was at a loss for words. Who would neglect their own family and instead care for outsiders?
Chu Aili originally thought she still needed to rely on a man and didn't want to make a big fuss, but she ended up seeing the man and the female soldier in the canteen.
She couldn't stand it anymore and immediately reported the problem to the military region. When the man found out, he came back and immediately started arguing with her.
Ye Zhaozhao was having dinner with the children when Bian Zhaoyue arrived.
"Zhaozhao, Chu Aili has been beaten."
Bian Zhaoyue couldn't help but laugh. Everyone disliked Chu Aili, and now someone finally got to teach her a lesson.
After hearing Bian Zhaoyue's explanation of the whole story, Ye Zhaozhao, though she disliked her, still looked down on men who hit women.
At the hospital, Chu Aili, her body wrapped in gauze, was furious. Her man had actually dared to lay a hand on her; she would remember this grudge.
Li Hongmei and her family lingered around the clinic every day. She knew about Chu Aili being beaten; she had personally witnessed Chu Aili being taken to the clinic.
After confirming that she was alright, Chu Aili was about to go home. It wasn't that she didn't want to stay, but that she couldn't afford to.
So when she saw her come out, Li Hongmei went to greet her.
They pulled Chu Aili aside, and the two of them were whispering and plotting something.
——
That day, Ye Zhaozhao had just finished class and returned to her office when she saw an extra woman standing in front of Jiangsu Su.
