When the regimental commander woke up, he found himself bound and lying on the floor of the military office. Seeing that he was awake, Ruan Shengpeng was somewhat disappointed in him: "I watched you grow up, how did you end up like this?"
"I'm sorry, Commander. It was me, it was me. I couldn't withstand the test, and I regret it too!"
According to his description, one time when he returned home, he found his wife and mother arguing over trivial matters, and he instantly lost the courage to go home.
He quietly left home and wandered around outside alone. There he encountered a girl being bullied.
As a soldier, he naturally stepped forward to help and even took the girl home. At the girl's warm invitation, he entered her home.
The girl was very understanding and gave him a cup of hot water, asking if he had any troubles. She also said that even if she couldn't solve his problems, she could still listen to him.
He was indeed very frustrated, so he told the girl about it. His wife and mother didn't get along, and no matter what he did, neither woman was satisfied.
Either his mother complained about him, or his wife was unhappy. He was like a sandwich filling, pleasing neither side. Over time, he preferred to sleep in the single dormitory rather than go back home.
But if he doesn't go back, others will come and call him. He has to go back to mediate the conflict between his mother and daughter-in-law for the sake of his position, but in the end he still can't resolve it well!
Sometimes he found it strange that his wife and mother were both very nice people before they got married, so why did they become completely different after they got together?
Before I got married, my mother was a very understanding person. She never raised her voice, and when I did something wrong as a child, she would never scold me but would always reason with me.
My wife was a gentle and kind person, but why did that gentleness turn into ice after we got married? She no longer looked at me shyly, nor did she smile at me anymore.
Every time she was in her room, she would either cry or complain, saying that she couldn't go on living like this!
He regretted countless times why he had gotten married. He desperately wanted to resolve everything, but his mother refused to go back to her hometown, saying that if she did, he had to bring his wife back to serve her.
Of course, his wife refused to leave, saying that he wasn't the only son, so why should he be the only one to support the elderly and have to give all his salary to his mother to manage?
Yes, his mother manages his salary. He knows why she manages his salary; her purpose is to save some money to secretly help his two older brothers.
He felt there was nothing wrong with them being brothers. He figured his own life was better now, so what was wrong with helping his older brother and nephew who were struggling?
But his wife wouldn't let it go, saying that whenever he went out on missions, she would only buy him delicious food, while she and the child could only drink a little bit of clear rice porridge.
Both children were so thin they looked like beggars, but the mother said the opposite, adding that her daughter-in-law sent all the edible food back to her parents' home, which was why the two children were so thin.
He also said that the two brats were too picky eaters, refusing to eat this or that, which was why they were so thin. He said that he risked his life outside to come back home, but he still couldn't have peace and quiet.
He was in so much pain. The girl put down a glass of wine: "Drink up, drinking will make you feel better!"
He was extremely frustrated and felt that this kind of life was worse than death. He thought, "I'll just drink. Life can't get any harder than it is now!"
So he drank it, and after an unknown amount of time, he and the girl naturally had an indescribable encounter. He panicked when he woke up the next day.
The girl was very understanding. She said she knew he was married and wouldn't ask him to take any responsibility. Then when he got up, he found bloodstains on the sheets and felt extremely guilty.
Once something like this happens, it will happen again. After that, whenever he came back from a mission, he would come here to relax, and it became his paradise.
But he would soon have to take responsibility for his actions. This time, the girl told him she was pregnant and asked him what to do. Before he could even say anything, his wife came looking pale.
Seeing him there, his eyes were lifeless. His wife rushed up and started hitting him, but he didn't dare move to let her vent her anger. But it was one thing for his wife to hit him, but she also started hitting the girl.
How could this be? The girl did nothing wrong, it was all his fault. He only went over to stop her, but why did his wife hit her head on the corner of the table and die on the spot?
When he realized his wife wasn't there, he felt a sense of relief, not heartache. Yes, relief. He was finally free from the dilemma of being caught between two women!
But after being freed, he was filled with lingering fear. He felt as if he had killed someone. He sat beside his wife and stared at her body for a long time. It was his daughter who came over to discuss it with him: "If people outside find out that you killed someone, you will go to jail, and all your efforts will have been in vain!"
He's poured so much effort into his future; how could he be content with that? But what if his wife disappears for a few days and people start asking about her?
The girl stammered, "I have a plan, but don't think I'm cruel when I tell you!"
He had to let the girl speak first, and only then did she reveal her thoughts: "Look, my figure is similar to your wife's. If I were disfigured, would it be okay for me to pretend to be your wife?"
A thought struck him: "Disfigurement is very painful, and it would also make you a completely different person. Would you be willing to do that?"
The girl said shyly, "You saved me, and I fell in love with you at first sight. I would be willing to die for you, let alone just have my looks!"
The girl's words stirred the emotions of the regimental commander. This girl truly loved him, which was why she had to put herself through such hardship. So they dug a hole and buried the dead person on the spot!
No one knows how the girl got it, but her face was ruined and unrecognizable. The regimental commander took the girl back, worried that others would notice that this was not the same person.
However, everyone was only focused on the disfigurement of his face, and no one noticed the replacement. After all, ever since his mother came to take care of his wife during her postpartum period, she seemed to be acting very neurotic and rarely interacted with outsiders!
He cautiously observed for several months, and when he saw that no one noticed it wasn't the same person, he felt relieved. What made him even happier was that the girl got along very well with his mother.
Every day when he came home, he was overjoyed to see the happy family. He eagerly awaited the baby in the girl's belly, and the girl was also very lucky, giving birth to a healthy and chubby boy.
He was overjoyed at the fact that he had an heir, completely ignoring everything around him, and even more so the existence of his two daughters!
