Zhao Qinglan was sleeping at home when Wu Mei rushed over.
Da Wa and the others were doing their own things in the middle hall when Wu Mei came in and called them all "Auntie".
"Where's your mother?" Wu Mei asked.
“My mom is sleeping,” the older child replied.
"Still asleep at this hour?" Wu Mei asked, puzzled.
“My mom is too tired,” Xiaoduo added.
Is it because you went into the city again yesterday?
As Wu Mei was wondering, Zhao Qinglan, who had heard the commotion inside, quickly got up.
"Is your mother sick?" Wu Mei muttered as she walked into the inner room.
Zhao Qinglan had just put on her coat, and the buttons weren't even fastened yet.
As soon as Wu Mei entered, she saw the marks on Zhao Qinglan's neck.
She paused for a moment before realizing what it was.
Oh my god, look at her brain! Li Huai just came back yesterday, and Qinglan is already exhausted.
Li Huai was in his prime, and having not seen his wife for so many days, he was bound to be very active.
Wu Mei's face turned slightly red after she figured it out.
Zhao Qinglan naturally saw Wu Mei's reaction and felt extremely ashamed, cursing Li Huai for his lack of tact in her heart countless times.
However, she still pretended that nothing had happened.
"Sister-in-law, is something urgent?"
After buttoning up her clothes, Zhao Qinglan became more composed.
"Did you know that Wei Hong and Battalion Commander Qu had a fight yesterday?"
"You had a fight?" Zhao Qinglan was very surprised, then shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"Didn't you hear anything?"
After what happened last night, she had no energy left to listen to anything else.
Wu Meixu realized she had asked a stupid question and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Wei Hong was beaten."
"What!" After her initial shock, she asked, "Is it Battalion Commander Qu?"
"That's right. Last night, Wei Hong had a fight with Battalion Commander Qu for some reason. Later, Battalion Commander Qu slapped her and she ran away from home."
At that time, both Zhao Qinglan's and Wu Mei's families were asleep, and Wei Hong had nowhere to go. In the end, she went to the school and spent the night in the teacher's office.
This morning, Wei Hong asked for leave from school and went to the military hospital.
The handprint on her face was so obvious that even after a night, some traces were still visible. Naturally, when people asked, she would say that she and her husband had quarreled.
After Wei Hong left, the school principal was worried and came to find Wu Mei to find out what was going on.
Wei Hong got into an argument and was slapped. Now she's in the hospital, but only she went. Could the argument have been because of the medical checkup?
Zhao Qinglan felt she had figured out the truth.
Thinking that the idea for the checkup was suggested by her to Wei Hong, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Sister-in-law, how about I go find Wei Hong?"
"You're going to the military hospital?" Wu Mei asked in surprise.
"Yes, she was beaten by Battalion Commander Qu. I'm afraid she might do something rash."
"Alright, then I'll trouble you to make this trip. As for Da Wa and your house, I'll keep an eye on it for you."
Even now, Zhao Qinglan still wouldn't suggest an inspection to Wei Hong; she was just somewhat dissatisfied with Battalion Commander Qu.
It was just an inspection, why did they have to argue and even hit each other? They're really despicable.
Although the specific details of the matter were still unclear, Wei Hong seemed to be a gentle and reasonable teacher, so Zhao Qinglan did not feel that the fault lay with her.
After giving instructions to the children, Zhao Qinglan tidied herself up and went out.
Once she stepped outside, she realized that her legs were a little sore, and she couldn't help but complain to Li Huai again.
In the military camp, Li Huai, with a smile on his face, was a sight to behold, and everyone who saw him inquired about what good thing had happened to him.
Li Huai couldn't talk about the pleasures of the boudoir; he only said that he was happy that his child was obedient and successful.
Li Huai was in high spirits, which made Yang Qinmin feel uneasy.
Qian Hongxia was discovered following Zhao Qinglan and warned, and naturally told her husband about it when she got home.
Qian Hongxia was truly terrified of Zhao Qinglan and was extremely flustered. She could only ask her husband what to do.
Yang Qingmin naturally wanted to find something to hold against Li Huai and his wife as soon as possible, but Zhao Qinglan noticed. He also felt that he was alerting them, so he said he would wait and see, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.
Battalion Commander Qu's expression wasn't much better.
He felt a little regretful after slapping his wife last night, but he was too proud to go out and confront her, so he simply went to sleep.
He thought his wife would be back after going out for a while, but when he woke up in the morning, he found that no one had been lying next to him, meaning that his wife had not come back all night.
He was a little worried. As soon as he arrived at the military camp, he began to wonder whether he should wait until the lunch break to visit the military primary school.
When the principal of the military primary school went to find Wu Mei, Sun Shengli had already gone to the military camp, so he was unaware of the matter.
Li Huai's unit was quite far from the military hospital, several dozen kilometers away.
Fortunately, Wu Mei called the military camp in time to tell her husband, and soon a military jeep came out and took Zhao Qinglan straight to the military hospital.
After hanging up the phone, Sun Shengli coldly ordered Battalion Commander Qu to come over.
Battalion Commander Qu was wondering what the regimental commander wanted to see him about. As soon as he entered the regimental commander's office, he was given a severe scolding.
"If you're so capable, go to the battlefield and use it on the enemy."
"Good heavens, you've got guts! You beat your own wife, and she's in the military hospital now. Tell me, how badly did you beat her?" Sun Shengli, unaware of the details, had already imagined all sorts of things.
Upon hearing this, Battalion Commander Qu felt aggrieved.
His wife went to the hospital because he hit her; he only slapped her once.
