Chapter 24 If you talk about my wife again, I'll break your legs.
“I will not marry her,” Song Zhan said.
Zhong Chuchu is his sister-in-law. If he gets entangled with her, what would he become?
Is this something a human being could do?
"That's good." Shen Wanjun breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the second time since Shen Wanjun transmigrated into the book that she has won against Zhong Chuchu.
Last time, Shen Wanjun emptied the Zhong family's house and gave Zhong Chuchu a big gift package for her trip to the countryside.
This time, Song Zhan firmly rejected Zhong Chuchu, which pleased Shen Wanjun greatly; he truly lived up to his role as the male lead.
He has high ideological awareness, upright conduct, and does not engage in illicit relationships.
“But there’s something very wrong with what your sister did,” Song Zhan criticized. “You need to have a serious talk with her.”
Fortunately, he received the telegram in time; if others had found out, the political commissar would definitely have had a talk with him.
If things go wrong, a baseless accusation could be leveled against us.
Here, engaging in promiscuous relationships has serious consequences, and even rumors are unacceptable.
“I will definitely teach her a lesson,” Shen Wanjun said.
Zhong Chuchu, who is currently far away in Yunnan Province, poses no threat.
If she still doesn't behave herself after going to the countryside, Shen Wanjun has 100 ways to deal with her.
"I'm not hungry. Buy whatever you want to eat." Song Zhan lay back down, looking like a dead fish.
Shen Wanjun took the money and bought potato soup, pickled radishes, eggs, and cornbread.
Conditions in the Great Northwest are harsh, so Shen Wanjun was very satisfied to have a hot meal.
She had thought that in this day and age, people here would go hungry and become emaciated.
Fortunately, there was food, though it was rather rough.
When Shen Wanjun returned to the ward, the beds next to her were already occupied.
The family members chatted casually, while the children ran around.
Shen Wanjun placed the food on the small table and picked up the potato soup to feed Song Zhan.
After thinking for a moment, he put it directly into his mouth.
Song Zhan has a strong sense of self-respect and hates it when others pity or sympathize with him.
Furthermore, their relationship is still unstable, so she shouldn't provoke him.
It's nice not having to serve others.
After taking a sip of the warm potato soup, Shen Wanjun said, "Why are you looking at me? Eat up, it'll get cold soon."
Song Zhan was somewhat surprised. Zhang Kuan and the medic usually took good care of him, afraid that he wouldn't have enough to eat.
Shen Wanjun, on the other hand, not only ignored herself, but also started eating first.
Faced with this discrepancy, Song Zhan was not angry; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Very well, she showed no sympathy for him; she only cared about herself.
Song Zhan finished the cornbread and potato soup in a few bites.
He hadn't eaten dinner last night, and once his appetite returned, he realized that what Shen Wanjun had bought wasn't nearly enough for him alone.
"Here, have an egg. Eggs are nutritious." Shen Wanjun pointed to the egg, but didn't offer to peel it for him.
Song Zhan reached out and peeled the egg, ate the egg white, and then held the remaining yolk, somewhat at a loss.
He doesn't eat egg yolks. When he was a child, he almost choked to death on an egg yolk while fighting with his siblings over eggs.
From then on, he was terrified of that thing and would rather starve than touch it.
Zhang Kuan used to help him eat, but since Zhang Kuan wasn't here today, the egg yolk became a hot potato.
I can't throw it away, but I can't eat it either.
"Give it to me." Shen Wanjun didn't like egg whites anyway. "Look, we're a perfect match."
So, think about it and hurry up and remarry me.
Song Zhan finished the last sip of potato soup and was about to put the bowl down.
Shen Wanjun then held her bowl to his lips.
"I can't finish it all, you drink it all."
She added a lot of spiritual spring water to the potato soup, making it quite a large portion, which made her stomach feel bloated.
The potato soup that Shen Wanjun gave to Song Zhan contained no potatoes, no glass noodles, just soup.
"Tsk tsk tsk," came a dissatisfied voice from next door.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Shen Wanjun saw a woman whose cheeks were red and purple from the cold.
The northwest is windy and dusty; in winter, the northwest wind blows like a knife.
The women and children here generally have faces as red as apples, and many even have frostbite marks.
The woman's face was wrapped in a coarse cloth headscarf. "Battalion Commander Song, is this your wife?"
Song Zhan said to Shen Wanjun, "She is your Aunt Wang."
Shen Wanjun took the initiative and greeted sweetly, "Hello, Aunt Wang."
Aunt Wang frowned and said, "Sister, don't say I'm meddling. Battalion Commander Song is your husband, how could you treat him like this?"
Once one of them spoke, the other women echoed her.
"That's right, he's a battalion commander, don't be ungrateful."
“You don’t feel sorry for your husband, but we feel sorry for him too.”
Shen Wanjun was completely confused. "Sisters-in-law, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Aunt Wang said, "Commander Song was so badly injured, and you only bought some cornbread and potato soup."
"It's bad enough that the food isn't good, but you don't even feed Battalion Commander Song. You make him peel the eggs himself. A man's hands are for holding black shells, not for peeling eggs."
"Is it appropriate for you to give your own leftovers to Battalion Commander Song? It's unlucky for a man to eat a woman's leftovers."
Aunt Wang's long-winded explanation left Shen Wanjun completely bewildered.
The other women in the ward couldn't help but join in the condemnation of Shen Wanjun.
"Commander Song has been injured for over a month, and you, as his wife, only showed up today. Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd abandoned him."
"You're a wife, yet you're not as attentive to Battalion Commander Song as Xiao Zhang is."
"Yes, Xiao Zhang personally feeds them and takes care of them day and night."
"You look like a rich young lady. You wouldn't look down on our Battalion Commander Song for being a peasant, would you?"
Shen Wanjun really wanted to ignore everything and slap them a few times first.
What I do with my man is none of your business.
Why can't men eat women's leftovers? The Qing Dynasty is long gone!
Damn it, you can't call someone a peasant!
But we're all in the same hospital room, so we see each other all the time.
As Song Zhan's wife, she couldn't cause him trouble.
These days, reputation is very important, especially in this place.
Shen Wanjun lowered her head, preparing to admit her mistake and make up a few words to get it over with, so that everyone could maintain a superficial harmony from now on.
Just then, Song Zhan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a blunt knife pressed against the throat, making people unconsciously hold their breath.
Each word was pronounced with extreme emphasis, like iron nails being driven into wood, leaving no room for argument.
"We don't need you aunties to worry about our family matters."
"How you take care of your husbands is none of my business. How my wife treats me is also none of your concern."
Song Zhan's voice was calm and even, with occasional pauses and a gentle smile on his lips.
Aunt Wang didn't expect him to defend Shen Wanjun, after all, her husband had never spoken up for her in front of others.
Aunt Wang lowered her head, not daring to look at Song Zhan and Shen Wanjun, her back drenched in cold sweat.
Her husband's rank is lower than Song Zhan's. If she offends the battalion commander's wife, will her husband be targeted?
In Shen Wanjun's eyes, Song Zhan's smile was simply too beautiful.
It inexplicably makes one feel that life is worthwhile, as if it could melt all glaciers.
But in Aunt Wang's eyes, Song Zhan's smile was a blatant threat: If you talk about my wife again, I'll break your legs!
