Chapter 47: Find Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang
Huo Beichuan was a little unhappy, "Are you from Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang's family? Come on, I'll take you home."
Zhang Lai Di stepped back when she heard what Huo Beichuan said, "Uncle, we are hungry! We don't want to go home!"
Hearing the girl's emphasized words, Huo Beichuan's brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
"If you're hungry, you can go home and eat. Although it's hard to get other supplies here, it's not a problem to fill your stomach."
"Uncle, we have nothing to eat when we go home. Mom and grandma won't feed us enough. Please let us in to eat something. We are small and can't eat much."
Zhang Laidi looked at Huo Beichuan with red eyes.
"It's amazing what we've encountered this family!" Huang Xiuru heard the voices outside the house, "Sister, go out and tell your old Huo not to start this. Don't you know that someone was softened by these girls' complaints before, and then they directly relied on him. When it's time to eat, he runs to other people's houses. No one's food comes from the wind."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jintao hurried out to find Huo Beichuan, and heard Huo Beichuan say in a cold voice, "I'll take you home!"
This time his voice was very cold. Not to mention the children, even adults might not be able to withstand it. The three little girls were frightened.
"If you don't want to give me food, then don't give me food. Why are you so fierce? You have no sympathy at all. My grandma is right. You are all stingy!"
Zhang Laidie shouted loudly, but was afraid that Huo Beichuan would hit her. After all, this adult looked difficult to talk to, so she ran away quickly.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhaodi had no choice but to run away with her other sister.
"Wife, what are you doing out here? Don't worry, I will take care of this matter. I will talk to Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang tomorrow."
Huo Beichuan smiled and rubbed his wife's head.
"OK!"
The man had a plan in mind, so of course Shen Jintao wouldn't say much.
The sisters-in-law also heard what Huo Beichuan said, and after Chen Jintao went in, they expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang usually keeps an eye on Zhou, Wu, Zheng and Wang, but he never shows up when something like this happens. I don't believe he doesn't know what his family members are doing. I guess they are just waiting. Everyone didn't say anything out loud for his sake, but this family is getting more and more excessive. Alas..." Qian Mingfang said.
"It's good to have someone stand up for you, but you should also persuade your husband, Mr. Huo. You all live in the same family compound. Although he is about to be commended as a deputy regimental rank officer, it is not appropriate for him to make enemies at this critical juncture. You should just be patient," Huang Xiuru advised.
My sisters-in-law all said so too.
Chen Jintao smiled but said nothing. Since the man had made the decision, there was no need for her to stop him. Moreover, Huo Beichuan would not be afraid of Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang's interference. Chen Jintao was very confident about this. You have to know that a soldier from the countryside, without any background, had reached the regimental position at such a young age. Huo Beichuan would not be a fearful person.
What's more, they are in the right in the final analysis.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much, mainly because Chen Jintao’s cooking skills were excellent, and the ordinary food we ate on weekdays seemed extra delicious today.
After dinner, the sisters-in-law helped clean up the house and the kitchen before going back. Chen Jintao also distributed some candies to the children they brought with them. There were also sisters-in-law who had children but did not bring them along, so Chen Jintao asked them to take the candies back to their children.
They were so generous in their actions that the people who came to eat today had a better impression of Captain Huo's wife.
The next day, Huo Beichuan reported to the army. After talking with his superiors, he went directly to find Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang.
After hearing what Huo Beichuan said, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang's face turned red. He never expected that he would come to him directly.
Although he knew in his heart that his family was wrong in this matter, he felt that Huo Beichuan was a little narrow-minded. The family members should just solve the issues in the family compound themselves. Why would he come after him?
Huo Beichuan didn't care what he thought and expressed his attitude, "Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang, I hope you can control your family members and not affect other people's lives. If there is a next time, it may not be me who comes to you, but the political commissar."
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang also knew that he could not afford to offend Huo Beichuan, so he could only nod in agreement.
When the training was over, he went straight to the family compound and beat up all the wives and children in the house, except for the one who was still learning to speak.
The cries of women and children spread throughout the entire family compound. No one even wanted to come out to watch the fun, as they had become accustomed to it.
Chen Jintao put down the chopsticks in her hand, her appetite was affected, "This Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang...why is this?"
Huo Beichuan sighed, "Every family has its own problems. If he could correct his attitude, his mother wouldn't be so rampant, and the children wouldn't be brought up like that. I think the root cause of this matter lies with him. It's my fault that I didn't find out clearly in advance. I just thought that Sister Qian was a good person, and if we were neighbors with her, you wouldn't be so bored. When I applied, I mentioned that I wanted to live next to Sister Qian's house, but I didn't expect that there was a deputy battalion commander Zhang next door."
Chen Jintao shook her head. "There are such chaotic things everywhere. I just feel a little uncomfortable. How can a woman give birth to a child like this? My sisters-in-law also said that Liu Jinping is pregnant with another one. Oh my God, I dare not even think about it. Isn't she afraid?"
Huo Beichuan didn't say anything. As a grown man, it was not appropriate for him to interrupt in this topic.
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang's home...
The man was beating his daughter and wife severely with a belt.
"I must have been so unlucky to marry you. Other people's children are brought up to be obedient and sensible, but look at the ones in our family. They are no different from beggars. Do you know that Captain Huo came to me directly? I was so embarrassed that I couldn't speak. I was so embarrassed."
Wang Cuihua rarely said anything. She knew in her heart that this matter was caused by her, but her son did not dare to vent his anger on her.
I was so disgusted with the new couple who moved in. Other families didn't say anything, but they didn't get any advantage at all, and instead they came to my door. I felt very aggrieved just thinking about it.
Seeing that Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang had almost calmed down, Wang Cuihua looked at her daughter-in-law who had been holding her belly and finally spoke, "Alright, stop hitting her. Your wife is still pregnant. If you continue, something bad will really happen."
After hearing what my mother said, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang stopped, looked at the family with disgust, turned to Wang Cuihua and said, "Mom, you should visit other people's homes less often in the future, and don't make it difficult for me to live in this family compound."
