“Cheng Rui, you two, it’s fine if you don’t like her, but don’t confront her directly, lest someone turn around and accuse us of abusing our power.”
"And you,"
Cheng Zhuo was stunned.
"Is this any of my business?"
"What do you think? Military personnel should be accompanied by their families. Logically speaking, those who are eligible to accompany their families should be their closest relatives, such as parents, wives and children, and their own small families. Their brothers and sisters are just relatives. None of them came. What's going on with Commander Han? Why is he keeping this roundabout sister-in-law here?"
I remember that his father-in-law and mother-in-law are both still alive. There's no reason for a daughter of marriageable age to live with her brother-in-law. It's not only unreasonable, but also inconvenient.
Look, it's the middle of summer, isn't it?
This area is sparsely populated, so building a new house would be quite expensive and inconvenient. However, there is plenty of open space and mountainside. If you don't have enough rooms in your house, digging a cave dwelling to live in is much more convenient.
"Does Commander Han know that his own child is being bullied by his sister-in-law?"
Cheng Zhuo and Commander Han didn't interact much usually. Apart from meetings and training, they rarely did missions together, let alone spend time together in private. They were just nodding acquaintances.
He really didn't know anything about these things, but there was this little "phone boy" from the family compound, right? As long as the two families didn't have any deep-seated hatred, the kids could play together. Cheng Rui was actually quite familiar with these two kids.
“I know, I know. She won’t let Dashan and Xiaoshan tell anyone, or she’ll beat them up and won’t let them eat.”
"Nonsense,"
Cheng Zhuo didn't believe that.
"That's their own home. Besides, their biological parents are here, and she's just an aunt. How could she dare to abuse the child?"
"How can that be nonsense? They kept saying they were hungry, and Xiao An and I even gave them food. If you don't believe me, go ask Aunt Sun. Aunt Sun saw it and even gave me a cornbread to secretly take to them."
And Kangming and Kangjian, they all know that she bullied so many kids in the compound, but they don't dare to say anything. I'm not afraid; even when she sees me eating, she doesn't dare to snatch it from me.
Jian Dan was holding a piece of watermelon, making quite a scene, and even whispering to Cheng Chao and the other person.
"Look at this! Who's targeting you? They're even stealing your kids' things!"
Cheng Chao pushed her head back with his palm, his tone tinged with helplessness.
"Don't talk nonsense, she has nothing to do with me."
Cheng Zhuo was so angry he was about to slam his fist on the table.
"What? A dignified regimental commander, because of his sister-in-law, doesn't even care if his own son goes hungry?"
Cheng Rui shrank back in fright; he was doomed, his dad was about to get angry.
Cheng An slowly and deliberately took over the conversation.
“We outsiders don’t know the specifics of what happened, but it’s true that Da Shan and his brother were almost always hungry. There was another time, during the New Year, when you were giving out some food, Da Shan and Xiao Shan took a piece and were very happy. But their aunt came out and snatched it away, and even kicked and ruined the sand they had piled up. Da Shan was so scared that he didn’t dare to cry until his aunt was far away.”
"Yeah, that time, Xiao An, Sun Bing, and several other people were playing here. We saw them all."
After pacing around on the ground for a while, Cheng Zhuo pointed at the children.
"You guys just don't want me to have any peace and quiet."
Cheng Chao also stepped forward, wiped his hands clean,
"Second Uncle, I'll go with you."
Cheng Zhuo frowned. This kind of thing wasn't something to be proud of, and he didn't want his child to get involved.
"What are you going to do? Stay home."
Cheng Chao kept walking.
"After all, it all started because of me, so I have to make a statement. I can't let people think I'm a pushover and can be easily manipulated by them."
Second Uncle, in terms of personal relationship, we are family, but this time I really didn't come here to visit relatives.
"Officially, I was seconded here to assist with the mission. During my secondment, I was assaulted and humiliated. Shouldn't I be given an explanation for this?"
Cheng Zhuo paused for a moment, shook his head and followed. This little brat is finally going to show his fangs.
Cheng Zhuo's spontaneous departures were common, but this time, since it involved her own child, Tang Sumei was a little more concerned.
"Don't worry, this is a serious matter, your second uncle and the others will handle it properly."
Come and eat some watermelon, you must be tired today!
Jian Dan wasn't too worried. With adults around, they couldn't force Cheng Chaozhen to marry Yu Hongyan.
"Second Aunt, what time do they go to school? I'll pick you up and drop you off tomorrow."
The two children immediately looked up at her. Tang Sumei thought to herself, "They're already so big, and their school isn't far away. Why do they need to be picked up and dropped off?"
But thinking about it, the child was probably just bored, being in an unfamiliar place, so he immediately nodded.
"If you don't find them annoying, then go ahead and take a stroll."
The school here is quite large, but there aren't many children attending it. Most of them are from the family compound, and some are from nearby villages.
There are many villages around here, but very few are willing to send their children to school. Many families have only one child this age, who is already a capable worker.
This was similar in Liujiatun before, so it's not surprising that it was simple.
In the office, everyone was silent, afraid to speak. Who would have thought that Cheng Zhuo, who seemed as gentle as a dough figurine, would suddenly lose his temper? After a while, someone tried to ease the tension with a joke.
"Old Cheng, the kid's just being immature, there's no need to get so angry,"
Cheng Zhuo's face darkened.
"Whether she's sensible or not is not my concern. The problem is that they've all started targeting my child. If I don't say anything, what does that mean? Does it mean I'm condoning it?"
She spotted someone on the main road and went to intercept him.
Those who know it are that someone deliberately caused trouble, and Cheng Chao is the victim.
Those who heard rumors and were just watching the show would all think that he had done something wrong to the woman or said something he shouldn't have, so that she would shamelessly block him in the street.
What, women care about their image, but men deserve to be talked about like that?
Someone opened their mouth, only to be immediately shut down by his words.
Cheng Zhuo sighed, his tone softening again.
"If it were just because of this, I wouldn't be so angry. Kid, be tough. The fact that they took a liking to you means you're still someone worth having. Logically speaking, as your uncle, even though I didn't raise you, I should feel honored."
but,"
Cheng Zhuo slammed his hand on the table again.
"What you shouldn't have done is to so easily label a young girl as 'using her looks to seduce people.' Whose upbringing is this? Did she offend you? And you still want to hit her?"
"They don't even know you. Just because they're close to Cheng Chao, do they deserve to be publicly insulted like this?"
