Some military wives who were already suspicious now openly brought it up.
"Comrade Zhao, look at yourself, you're so good to the children, yet someone is spreading rumors behind your back about why you keep them locked up at home all day."
Zhao Qinglan sighed. "Everyone knows that Li Huai and I haven't been married for long. Being a stepmother isn't easy, and it's inevitable that people will speculate. I'm thinking, I don't have a son, but I'm going to raise Da Wa and Er Wa as my own sons."

"You, you mustn't do anything rash, everyone's watching." She was genuinely afraid that Zhao Qinglan might suddenly attack without warning, and she might not be able to win.
"Ha, hit you? I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty." Last time, she couldn't help herself when she heard Qian Hongxia say that to Da Wa.
