Chapter 214 "Don't be afraid! Nothing will happen..."

The two sentries at the sentry post saw Commander Duan slam the door and get out of the car. They guessed that the commander was angry and were very worried about Cheng Xueru.

The jeep slowly drove into the military gate and stopped on the side of the road. Han Suijing got off first.

Seeing a big Dongfeng parked in front of him, he strode over and asked with a stern face: "What are you doing?"

The curious soldier didn't notice the commander coming back from outside. He quickly let go of Cheng Xueru's hand, his face pale with fear, and stood at attention tremblingly: "Report to the commander, we are unloading."

"Unloading? Are you sure you're unloading, and not flirting with lesbians?"

After saying this, he looked at Cheng Xueru coldly. He had a vague impression of her, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before. "Are you the wife of a soldier in the family compound?"

Cheng Xueru had an impression of the new leader in front of her. She had met him in the army auditorium some time ago when the army visited the families of military martyrs to express condolences.

But now, she is no longer a military wife, but the sister-in-law of Deputy Colonel Zhai.

The girl helped the army to collect food in various villages all year round. She had met some officers in the army several times. She was knowledgeable and courageous than ordinary military wives. She turned to look at another tall man who was walking towards her.

"Hello, Chief. I used to be a military wife, but not anymore. I..."

Cheng Xueru's voice suddenly choked up and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Han Suijing, who was watching her quietly, suddenly remembered that the girl in front of him had just received a medal from him not long ago. His tone softened, "What are you doing in the army? Is there any problem at home?"

Han Suijing found some impression of the woman in front of him from the few memories in his mind.

Cheng Xueru didn't know the identity of the tall, lazy and unrestrained man following behind her, but seeing that he also got off the jeep, he must be someone special.

She explained carefully, "I came out to find a car to take my brother and sister-in-law to the town clinic for medical treatment."

As the girl said this, she looked eagerly at a military green jeep parked not far from the gate.

She didn't dare to ask the chief to make an exception and use his car to send her sister-in-law to the town, but she hoped that he could help her find a car.

"Your...sister-in-law? Living in the compound?"

Even though Han Suijing had seen the world, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He vaguely remembered that when he applied for military martyrs' families' pension, he looked at the personal form of the martyr and found that he did not have any other relatives except his wife.

But Han Suijing remained calm, but he was a little confused. He thought that after Cheng Xueru's husband left, she married her husband's comrade-in-arms.

This kind of thing was very common in the army, especially in the 1970s.

But she asked in a more polite manner: "Does your husband have a younger brother?"

Cheng Xueru bit her lip and said shyly, "…I'm sorry, Commander, I just married Deputy Commander Zhai's eldest brother, so Deputy Commander Zhai's wife is my sister-in-law."

I originally thought that the chief would be surprised and look at her with contempt.

Before he could blink, the calm and upright commander's expression suddenly changed. "Are you saying that Deputy Colonel Zhai's wife is ill?"

"Who? Who is sick?!" Commander Duan, who was walking slowly towards this side, asked anxiously.

Cheng Xueru told the two leaders what she had seen at the family hospital, and was about to ask them to help her find a car to take the patient to the town clinic.

The chief's calm face suddenly tensed up: "Take me to see it."

"Ah? Commander, it's not good for you to go to the family compound. I came out just to find a car and send my sister-in-law to the clinic. I heard that she has been feeling very uncomfortable since last night and hasn't eaten anything..."

Before Cheng Xueru could finish her words, the scene in front of her suddenly went blank.

Two tall and straight officers hurried towards the family compound.

Commander Duan couldn't help but swear: "Last night, I heard my wife say that her husband had dragged her head and she was confused. I said to send her to the town health center for a checkup, and she said she was fine. I shouldn't have listened to her."

Han Suijing, who was walking in front, only realized at this moment that Wang Ziru was not uninjured during the fight between the couple last night.

"When I went up there last night, two people were scuffling on the ground. So you're saying that a man dragged her by her hair?"

Commander Duan was immediately furious, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Cheng Xueru didn't have time to explain clearly to the soldiers who were transporting supplies, and hurriedly chased the two men into the family yard.

On the fifth floor of Wen's home, Su Hong and several military wives couldn't help swaying in the living room as songs played on the radio.

Laughter filled the entire courtyard.

Suddenly, Huang Chunmei, who was standing in the corridor cooking, unexpectedly discovered the figures of the chief and Commander Duan hurriedly walking into the family compound.

Huang Chunmei was so shocked that she didn't even care that there was lard in the pot to cook.

Holding the spatula tightly in her hand, she walked directly to the corridor and looked downstairs. She saw that the two had already walked into the family compound. She quickly turned around and ran to the door, "Sister Hong! I saw the chief and Commander Duan coming to the family compound."

"Who? Commander Duan? And the new chief?"

Su Hong and Li Juan hugged each other and danced a friendship dance. The smiles on their faces paused for a moment. "Are you with Teacher Wen? Why did you come back so early to eat? You didn't even tell me in advance."

For a moment, Su Hong thought that the two senior officials were going to the Wen family for lunch.

He quickly let go of Li Juan, whose eyes almost popped out of her head. "Are you seeing things?"

Huang Chunmei smiled awkwardly and said, "It seems that they are not going to the Wen family for dinner. I saw that young widow from Li Village with the chief and his men. Could they be going to the Zhai family?"

"What are you doing at Zhai's house? The couple is fighting at home with the door closed in broad daylight?" The smile on Su Hong's face froze, and she sneered sarcastically.

Several military wives rushed to the corridor and saw three people hurriedly going up to the third floor and heading straight to the Zhai family...

Su Hong found it difficult to laugh and looked embarrassed, but she was unwilling to give up!

Why did the Zhai family recruit two big officials again and again? "Could they go to the Zhai family to investigate the fight last night?"

Lin Xiaowan noticed that Su Hong's face turned blue and red, and tried to break the awkward situation.

She also wanted to curry favor with Wang Ziru, but after all, they and the other military wives had moved into the family compound several years earlier than Wang Ziru, and Commander Wen’s military title was still there.

As long as he performs well, Chief Wen will definitely be promoted next. By then, Chief Wen will have the final say over the entire Ninth Division.

If everything goes well, the husbands of these military wives will also be able to move up!

At this time, on the third floor, there were already several military wives standing by the stove in the corridor making lunch.

The wives of the soldiers were so frightened when they suddenly saw the new chief and Commander Duan arriving at the family compound together that they stood there not knowing what to do.

Zhao Cuilan turned around and looked in the direction where the hurried footsteps came from. This sight almost frightened her to death, "Why is the chief here? It's over, it's over, did I not comb my hair?!"

But in the blink of an eye, two cold figures walked past her from behind and went straight into the Zhai family.

Zhai Qingsong didn't expect that when Cheng Xueru went downstairs to find a car, she actually called over two cadres!

"Where are the people? Where are they?!" Two men walked quickly into the small living room of the Zhai family. Before Han Suijing could ask anything, the thick and impatient voice of a hot-tempered boss came from behind them.

Cheng Xueru ran back all the way, out of breath, and pointed at the half-open door, "My sister-in-law is still lying in the room. I'll go get her up."

The two men's brows wrinkled at the same time. Commander Duan was anxious and put his hands on his waist, running wildly on the spot.

Cheng Xueru pushed the door open and entered the room, whispering to Wang Ziru, "Let's get up and go to the town's health center."

"No need..." The man was numb from the pain and his consciousness was a little fuzzy. He shook his head in a daze, indicating that he was unwilling to go to the town and would just delay it for another two days.

"How can it be a problem for you to drag on like this? I'll help you up and take you to the clinic to let the doctor check whether you need an injection or medication..." Cheng Xueru sat on the edge of the bed, trying to get her up, but she found that Wang Ziru's body was so limp that she had no strength at all.

Han Suijing stood outside the door and asked in a deep voice, "Do you need my help?"

"Go in and see what's going on?" Commander Duan was ordering his subordinates in an annoyed manner.

Han Suijing gently pushed open the door and saw Cheng Xueru sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him sullenly with a sullen face: "She refuses to get up."

"What's wrong with you?" Han Suijing stood at the door and glanced around the cramped little room. The curtains on the small window were half-closed, and the light in the room was a little dim.

Cheng Xueru quickly stood up and stepped aside.

Then Han Suijing walked to the bedside and bent over to check on the person lying on his side.

"You..., what's wrong with you?"

Han Suijing asked softly, then paused, slowly reaching out to touch Wang Ziru's forehead, and found cold sweat on her forehead, "Did you catch a cold?"

Wang Ziru opened her eyes with difficulty in a daze, and gradually saw Han Suijing's anxious face.

She froze.

She quickly turned her head to look outside the door and was surprised to find that Commander Duan had come to her house.

I don’t know if it was because of the dysmenorrhea that hurt all the nerves, but my emotions were extremely fragile. Wang Ziru felt aggrieved and her eyes suddenly filled with tears. Big tears flowed out of her eyes.

Commander Duan originally wanted to avoid suspicion, but when he saw his young wife lying on the bed with a sick look on her face, shedding tears of grievance, he was so distressed that he almost shed tears too.

"He's already so sick, Han Suijing, why are you still standing there? Pick him up! Send him to the sanitation center immediately!"

Han Suijing turned around and stared at the eldest uncle of the Zhai family who was standing outside the door. After watching for a while, he suddenly understood.

Last night he punished Zhai Ximo to live in a single dormitory, so the man was not at home. Wang Ziru was sick and there was no one to take care of her, so the eldest uncle in the family had to invite Cheng Xueru over.

He ignored other people's gossip, turned around, and whispered, "I'll take you to the town. Do you want to bring anything?"

As he spoke, he took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the tears from her face.

Wang Ziru didn't know whether she saw Han Suijing or not. She felt that she finally had a backer. Her eyes were like a flood, and she cried loudly while lying on Han Suijing's strong arms.

"Don't be afraid! Nothing will happen..."

Han Suijing pretended to be calm, his voice hoarse as he helped her wipe the tears from her face again and again, then hesitantly lifted the quilt and picked her up from the bed.

At the door, Zhai Qingsong saw this and didn't know what to do.

If the third brother had been at home, his younger brother and sister wouldn't have ended up like this.

Wang Ziru was completely exhausted and lay limply in Han Suijing's arms, her heart pounding. She was too embarrassed to even look at Commander Duan when she was carried out of the house.

She buried her whole face tightly in Han Suijing's chest, afraid that others would see her blushing and vulnerable look.

Han Suijing's face was tense, and he said solemnly, "I'll send her to the town."

"Tsk!" Commander Duan wiped his bearded face irritably and gave his young wife a displeased look. She was so frail, and she clearly knew she was not feeling well but she was still pretending to be strong and waiting to die at home.

When the group left Zhai's house, Cheng Xueru, who followed closely behind, discovered that all the women in the compound were extremely shocked.

He looked at Han Suijing and Deputy Colonel Zhai's wife, whom Han Suijing was holding, with a look of astonishment.

Zhai Qingsong quickly took the copper lock and locked the door, then hurried to the town and went out of the courtyard. Such a large battle immediately attracted the attention of many warriors.

An officer from some department trotted over to the jeep and said, "Report to the commander! There is an emergency call. Please answer it immediately."

Before Han Suijing put the person into the back seat of the jeep, his face darkened and he lowered his head to stare at the drowsy little woman.
