Chapter 418 Farewell



After Wu Xiuli returned to Kyoto with her two children, she has been living at home.

Wen Ziyun and Wen Ziqiu were relatively young, and they loved to play and quarrel. While the noises of children in the house would be a joyous and delightful experience for a normal person, Feng Xueying was different. As soon as the noise got louder, she couldn't help but curse or throw things.

Yesterday too, Wen Yiran went to work early in the morning.

Wen Ziyun and Wen Ziqiu woke up for breakfast and had a fight over a steamed bun, waking Feng Xueying, who was still sound asleep. It wasn't that the Wen family's housekeeper didn't make enough buns, but rather that Wen Ziyun and Wen Ziqiu had always loved playing around, even at the dinner table. It was a way for them to express their intimacy.

When Wen Ziyun and Wen Ziqiu went out to school, they said goodbye to Wu Xiuli a little louder, which scared Feng Xueying who was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.

As soon as the two children left, Feng Xueying started to lose her temper. She first threw the half-eaten porridge in her bowl at Wu Xiuli, and then smashed the empty bowl in her hand. Wu Xiuli was so angry that she trembled. Fortunately, the porridge in Feng Xueying's bowl was no longer hot, otherwise she would have been hurt by Feng Xueying's splash.

Wu Xiuli was definitely in a bad mood as her mother-in-law found an excuse to provoke her early in the morning. She couldn't help but argue with Feng Xueying.

After being contradicted by Wu Xiuli, Feng Xueying flew into a rage, throwing the entire table of food to the floor. Zhu Xiaoru tried to persuade her, but was also scolded by Feng Xueying. Xiao Ziyou, who had been sitting at the table eating obediently, was frightened and burst into tears. Zhu Xiaoru was also furious and returned to her parents' home with her child.

Wu Xiuli couldn't bear it any longer. She went upstairs, packed up her and her two children's things, and ran out to rent a house. She had had enough. She didn't want to face her moody mother-in-law every day anymore.

Wu Xiuli moved out of the Wen family's house yesterday afternoon. Zhu Xiaoru, worried that Feng Xueying might frighten her child, stayed at her parents' house last night.

When Wen Yiran returned home from get off work in the evening, he found the house deserted and felt a little strange. It was not until Aunt Li reported to him what happened during the day that Wen Yiran understood what was going on.

Wen Yiran was a little worried. He thought Feng Xueying was so irritable, maybe she was feeling unwell. Early in the morning, Wen Yiran urged Feng Xueying to go to the hospital for a checkup, but Feng Xueying had a fit. This was why Wen Ziqing saw him in such a state of disarray at the door.

Honestly, Wen Yiran was delighted to see Wen Ziqing. He thought Feng Xueying must be bored at home, which was why she was so irritable. Wen Yiran had an important meeting this morning, and with Wen Ziqing by his side, he could go out with peace of mind.

"Grandpa, I will report to the army soon, and the troops will set off for the front line in the afternoon." Wen Ziqing saw Wen Yiran looking at him expectantly, so he had to make it short.

"What?" Wen Yiran was stunned. Ziqing hadn't officially joined the army yet, so why did he have to go to the front line?

"Grandpa, I applied for it myself. I want to do my part to defend the motherland." Wen Ziqing understood Wen Yiran's doubts and quickly explained.

Wen Yiran finally felt relieved. It was no wonder he was overthinking this. The Wen family had been at the center of controversy for the past few years, and Wen Yulong himself wasn't doing his best. Wen Yiran was afraid that Wen Yulong's incompetence would lead to Wen Ziqing being retaliated against. After all, Wen Jingtao, the family's founding father, was no longer around.

"Good boy, grandpa is looking forward to your victorious return." Wen Yiran patted Wen Ziqing's shoulder, his face full of satisfaction. He didn't know when it started, but the child was already much taller than him. He had grown up and knew how to defend his country.

Wen Ziqing nodded. He always knew that Wen Yiran was concerned about him.

"Get out, all of you! You think I'm old, and you're all ungrateful." Feng Xueying's loud and angry voice could be heard from the room.

Wen Yiran's face was a little awkward. He had originally planned to let his grandson in to say goodbye to Feng Xueying, but Feng Xueying's expression made him hesitate. Wen Yiran was afraid Feng Xueying would lose her temper and say something unpleasant. His grandson was going to the battlefield, and when he left, he received scolding instead of blessings from his family. It didn't seem like a good omen.

Wen Yiran made up his mind and said to Wen Ziqing, "Child, go ahead! I'll tell grandma for you."

Wen Ziqing glanced inside the door and nodded. Feng Xueying wasn't a bad person, she just lived in her own world, believing everyone around her had to revolve around her. Judging from her current state, Feng Xueying must be ill.

When Wen Ziqing turned around and was about to leave, he said to Wen Yiran, "Grandpa, take grandma to see a doctor! Grandpa is a very good doctor, maybe he can help grandma."

Yes! Why didn’t I think of asking Brother Qingshan for help? Wen Yiran suddenly realized.

Compared to Wen Ziqing's awkward farewell scene, Zhou Yuanyuan's family was filled with joy.

Zhao Yunxiang and Zhou Zhixin's family still lived in the Guards Regiment's family building. Zhou Zhixin's Special Forces Regiment was adjacent to the Guards Regiment. Initially, the Special Forces Regiment's hundreds of special forces were selected from the best talent in the Guards Regiment, and their training grounds were also borrowed from the Guards Regiment.

As special forces training facilities continued to improve, major military regions across the country began to provide a steady stream of exceptional personnel to the Special Forces Regiment. Once the training grounds were secured, it wasn't long before the Special Forces Regiment's numbers were roughly comparable to those of the Guards Regiment. Unlike the Guards Regiment, the Special Forces Regiment's officers, at the company level and above, were very young, mostly in their twenties, and relatively few were married.

In addition to the training grounds here, Zhou Zhixin's special forces regiment also has to conduct actual combat exercises in places such as deserts, jungles, swamps, and islands. Because they have to rush to train an iron army, they have no time to build other infrastructure.

The Guards Regiment had a relatively complete set of facilities, with over a dozen family housing buildings alone. Zhou Zhixin and Ren Dahai discussed the matter and decided to borrow a few of Ren Dahai's buildings to house the families of the special forces.

Therefore, Zhao Yunxiang and her family hadn't moved for several years. However, Zhao Yunxiang herself was busy enough, with a lot of company and factory matters. Fortunately, she had Hu Sanniang to help her. Otherwise, Zhao Yunxiang wouldn't even have time to breathe, let alone go home to cook when Zhou Zhixin was home.

However, Zhao Yunxiang had gained more than just money in recent years; she had also earned respect from others. At the very least, Zhao Yunxiang had arranged for the hardworking wives of the military families in the residential complex to work in her factory. This way, the wives could earn money to supplement their family income while also having less time to gossip among themselves. This had actually improved the atmosphere within the residential complex, creating a more harmonious atmosphere.
