After returning home, Wen Guoer helped Tang's mother in the kitchen.
In the main hall, Tang Hu, Tang He, and the three-year-old Tang Xiu gathered around Tang Zhan, who was making a nest for the wolf cubs, chattering...
"Will the puppy live in our house from now on?" Tang Xiu asked in a childish tone.
"The puppy should belong to our eldest son!" Tang Hu answered proudly.
"It was obviously brought back by Fourth Aunt." Tang He looked unconvinced.
"Aunt Four is from our eldest wife's family, so of course the puppy is also from our eldest wife's family." Tang Hu said as he was about to take the little wolf cub away.
When Tang Zhan heard this, his eyes darkened a little, and he stared at Tang Hu, which made him feel uneasy. He was so afraid of this little uncle!
"Who told you that Fourth Aunt is from your eldest wife?" Tang Zhan said in a cold tone.
"That's what mother said. Mother said that Fourth Aunt married Brother Xiaolong and is now Brother Xiaolong's wife." Xiaohu didn't understand why Fourth Uncle's face suddenly changed. He burst into tears in fear. He clearly heard mother say that. Woohoo~
Tang Zhan's face became more and more gloomy. He didn't expect that the eldest wife would have such thoughts.
Hearing the crying, people from several families came running over. Tang Hu felt even more aggrieved when he saw his mother. He sobbed and asked Li Jinhua to admit that it was she who said that Tang Long was going to marry Wen Guoer.
Tang's mother rushed over from the kitchen and was confused when she heard it... She picked up the broom and swung it at Li Jinhua!
"You are a troublemaker. I want to bring everything home. I disturb the peace in our family and even teach our grandson bad things..." Li Jinhua was knocked to the ground by Tang's mother's broom and had to hide in the yard.
Wen Guoer stood aside and watched all this. She was horrified by the eldest wife's thoughts.
This era is so harsh on women that even a single rumor can ruin a woman's reputation. A woman without a reputation is like being stuck in a quagmire, her body and mind forever trapped in filth, with no hope of redemption.
Tang Zhan saw the panic in her eyes, took her hand and took her back to the room.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you." His eyes were full of certainty.
Wen Guoer looked at him. Although they had only been together for two days, this man was full of righteousness, as if he could soothe all the anxieties brought to her by this strange world. She thought, this was probably the so-called sense of security.
"But you have to leave eventually."
Tang Zhan seemed to see desolation in her eyes, which made his heart ache. He could not tolerate her being coveted by outsiders, and he could not bear to leave her alone in this small mountain village without a name or status.
He stood up straight and said firmly:
"Comrade Wen Guoer, I'm Tang Zhan. I'm 25 years old, in good health, with no bad habits. I serve as deputy commander of the Second Field Army in the Beijing District. You're familiar with my family situation. Although we haven't been together long, I've already decided on you. Are you willing to spend the rest of my life with me? I will be loyal to my country and to you."
After saying that, Tang Zhan saluted Wen Guoer with a standard military salute, looking at her with a firm and expectant gaze. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He stood straight, waiting for her reply.
Wen Guoer's heart was pounding, and she was still repeatedly confirming in her mind, "Is he proposing to me?"
Meeting his expectant and eager gaze, Wen Guoer finally confirmed that he was really proposing to her.
Undoubtedly, this man captivated her heart! Both in appearance and temperament. Considering she hadn't met a single person of her dreams in her previous life for 25 years, one can imagine how difficult it was to meet such a man. Others had to cross mountains, rivers, seas, and ages, but she had to cross time and space to meet this man.
"I, I do." Wen Guo lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at the other person. This was the first time she agreed to someone's proposal, and she had no experience at all...
The air seemed to be still for a few minutes, and suddenly a strong force pulled her into his arms. Her breath was filled with the fresh scent of him. The man's chest was broad and warm, and she actually felt a little reluctant to leave.
"Xiaoguo, thank you for your willingness."
Wen Guoer felt his strong and rapid heartbeat. Was this man captured by her just like that? ...
Wait, what did she miss? A deputy leader? She seemed to have heard a deputy leader, a 25-year-old deputy leader? Was this a treasure?
However, it takes a lot of military merit to be promoted to this position...
