Soon, Sun Shengli and Battalion Commander Qu arrived.
Upon learning that his wife was at Li Huai's house, Battalion Commander Qu, who had been worried about her, finally felt a little relieved.
However, after entering the house and seeing his wife sitting there with her head down, Battalion Commander Qu didn't know what to say.
Sun Shengli gave Battalion Commander Qu a wink, signaling him to hurry up.
Battalion Commander Qu thought he could apologize to his wife privately, but he didn't expect to have to apologize in front of so many people. He was a little speechless for a moment.
Seeing that the regimental commander was clearly anxious, Battalion Commander Qu had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk up to his wife.
"Wei Hong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have hit you."
Wei Hong looked up in surprise. She hadn't expected her husband to bow down to her in front of others. After all, she knew how much her husband cared about his reputation.
However, when Wei Hong saw Sun Shengli standing to the side looking satisfied, she understood what was going on.
She suddenly felt like laughing, and also felt that this was really meaningless.
She hadn't forgiven her husband in her heart; she simply said indifferently, "I know."
She used to take him too seriously. In fact, just like Qinglan and Sister-in-law Wu Mei said, a woman should treat herself better first.
Seeing that his wife had responded and hadn't embarrassed him, Battalion Commander Qu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Huai only then realized something was wrong, but with so many people around, he couldn't ask for details and could only continue to pretend he didn't know.
Seeing that Battalion Commander Qu had apologized, Sun Shengli was satisfied and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, sit down! What are you all standing there for? I've been craving Qinglan's cooking for a long time."
With several adults and three children, there wasn't enough room at the small table, so Zhao Qinglan didn't sit down and let them eat first.
Seeing this, Wei Hong got up and went to help her.
Seeing that Wei Hong didn't sit down, Zhao Qinglan poured out some of the dishes she had prepared, intending for the two of them to eat somewhere else later.
Sun Shengli had originally planned to criticize Battalion Commander Qu a little more in front of Wei Hong, hoping to ease the tension between the couple, but Wei Hong's departure didn't give him that chance.
Wu Mei originally wanted to go and help, but there weren't enough people around the stove, so Zhao Qinglan persuaded her to go back and sit down.
After Zhao Qinglan finished cooking, she and Wei Hong sat down, and Wu Mei moved over as well.
As a result, the three men ate with the eldest child and a few others, while Zhao Qinglan and the other two women ate together.
The men sat together and started discussing things that happened in the army.
As for the three children, they simply buried themselves in their food.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to go to the military camp to work in the afternoon, Sun Shengli would have really liked to take Li Huai and the others out for a drink.
After all, such delicious food deserves to be enjoyed with some wine.
After finishing their meal, Sun Shengli and Battalion Commander Qu went home to rest.
Wei Hong and Wu Mei wanted to stay and help Zhao Qinglan tidy up, but she chased them away.
After everyone had left, Li Huai helped tidy up while asking what had happened.
Zhao Qinglan didn't hide anything from Li Huai and told him everything that Battalion Commander Qu had done.
Li Huai was a little angry when he heard this. "This Qu Jianshe, I didn't expect him to be so incompetent."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Qinglan staring at him, and quickly said, "I'm not taking his side. Don't worry, Qinglan. I can't guarantee that we won't quarrel in the future, but I can guarantee that no matter how much we quarrel, I will never lay a hand on you."
"Then I'll thank you very much." Zhao Qinglan chuckled.
Seeing that the children had all gone inside, Li Huai suddenly walked up behind Zhao Qinglan and hugged her.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Qinglan quickly looked around.
"Don't worry, the children aren't here."
"It's broad daylight, you'd better behave yourself, or people will laugh at us if they see us again."
“We are husband and wife. I’m hugging my own wife. Who would dare to laugh at me?” Li Huai said confidently.
"How come I never realized you were so shameless?" Zhao Qinglan said helplessly.
"Well, it's not too late for you to know now."
The couple chatted and laughed, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Over there, Battalion Commander Qu had just gone inside and lay down when he heard the door open again, and he immediately sat up.
Wei Hong walked into the room, sat down on the bedside table, and began rummaging through her things.
"Honey, did you go to the hospital for a checkup?"
"Hmm." Wei Hong hummed in response without turning around.
"What did the doctor say?"
"have no idea."
"No, what do you mean by that? Didn't you check? How could you not know?" Battalion Commander Qu said anxiously.
"The test results will be available in a couple of days."
"Look at you, you only say half of what you mean," Battalion Commander Qu muttered.
"Qu Jianshe, don't think I'll forgive you just because you say you were wrong. Our business isn't over yet," Wei Hong said, frowning.
"What's wrong? I've already admitted my mistake, why are you still holding a grudge?" Battalion Commander Qu said unhappily.
"Ha, admitting your mistake? Do you dare say you genuinely felt you were wrong, or that you were forced to bow your head and admit your mistake by Commander Sun?" Wei Hong retorted with a sneer.
Battalion Commander Qu was speechless for a moment.
"Having a child is never just my responsibility, yet you complain about me and even hit me. I'm truly disappointed in you. I don't want to argue with you anymore. Let's wait for my test results before discussing anything else."
After saying that, Wei Hong got up, picked up her quilt and blankets from the bed, and walked to another room in the house.
The couple had no children, and no other relatives came with them. So the bedroom was empty, containing only an empty bed and some miscellaneous items.
Now, Wei Hong plans to stay in that empty bed for a few days to let them both calm down, and she will also think carefully about the things between them as a couple.
Battalion Commander Qu was stunned when he saw his wife walk away decisively after finishing her sentence.
He thought the matter would end with him bowing his head and admitting his mistake, but he never expected it to be so serious, and he suddenly had a headache.
My wife wasn't like this before, why is she being so serious this time?
Could it be that he was influenced by Zhao Qinglan, who is said to be very fierce, because he got too close to her?
As soon as Yang Qingmin got home, he asked his wife if she knew what had happened at Battalion Commander Qu's house, leaving Qian Hongxia completely confused.
"How would I know what happened in their family?"
"If you don't know, then go and ask around. You're just idling at home all day anyway, so do something productive." Yang Qinmin said with a look of disdain.
Qian Hongxia was not angry at all when her husband said that to her; instead, she happily agreed.
Li Huai naturally wouldn't let Zhao Qinglan do anything outside the house, otherwise the children would run into them as soon as they came out.
After everything was tidied up, he immediately pulled her into the house.
His impatient manner startled Zhao Qinglan.
"Li Huai, it's still daytime, don't do anything reckless!" This guy, he's already done so many things last night, how come he still has so much energy? Doesn't he get tired?
I still have a sore back and legs. If it weren't for Wei Hong's matter, I would have been lying in bed resting long ago.
