This is an attempt to use Chen Yunyun to torment them.
Xu Zhijun wants them dead!
The eldest child suddenly realized, as if waking from a dream, that this kind of man was not worthy of being his father!
Hatred flashed in his eyes, and the eldest son's eyes turned bloodshot. He quietly drew a talisman with his fingertips, and golden light flickered.
He had mastered the art of using the talisman to his fullest extent, and now he could draw it in the blink of an eye. He was just about to slap the talisman on Xu Zhijun when he wasn't paying attention.
Suddenly, a warm sensation covered his palm.
He looked up in surprise and met Chen Yunyun's smiling gaze. He was startled, "Mother?"
The rune actually landed on Chen Yunyun!
"Mother, are you alright?"
Niu Niu and Da Wa both ran to Chen Yunyun's side and snuggled up to her.
Chen Yunyun didn't seem to feel anything and patiently comforted the children.
Rong Yan and his guards put away the bedding and then left, leaving the space to this "family".
Xu Zhijun looked up and glanced at the family's harmonious and happy appearance, finding it extremely irritating.
He pointed at Chen Yunyun, intending to call her by name, but he seemed to have forgotten what his new wife's name was.
"You, come out with me." Finally, he pointed at Chen Yunyun, his tone as harsh and forceful as a command.
"Watch your brother, make sure he doesn't wet the bed."
The third child was sleepy in the afternoon and hadn't woken up yet. Chen Yunyun asked the two older children to keep an eye on him while she followed Xu Zhijun to his study.
It's called a study, but it's really just a simple room with a table and a bookshelf.
Xu Zhijun sat down at his desk and looked the unfamiliar woman up and down.
His intelligence indicated that the woman had long been broke and was borrowing money from door to door, and was about to be beaten to death if she couldn't pay it back.
Upon seeing her this time, I discovered that it didn't match the intelligence. Although this woman was dressed in rags, her complexion was not bad.
I wonder what's going on with Chen Fengjiao? Is she deliberately spreading false information?
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Xu Zhijun dismissed it. He reasoned that Chen Fengjiao wouldn't lie to him, after all, she was still waiting for him to come back and marry her.
Thinking of this, a mocking glint flashed in Xu Zhijun's eyes.
Some women don't even look at themselves; they're so easy to fool.
Even the smallest bit of sweetness is enough to trick her into doing things for him.
Although the woman in front of him differed from the intelligence, it wasn't a big problem; he had plenty of ways to deal with her.
Xu Zhijun leaned forward, tapped the table, and uttered a single word, "Sit."
Chen Yunyun cut to the chase, "Zhijun, why haven't you received your living expenses since June? Have you encountered any difficulties in the army?"
"How could that be? I send it on time every month, didn't you receive it?"
That's such a hypocrite. These days, there's hardly any surveillance. Whether it's been sent or not is entirely up to him to decide.
Seeing that Chen Yunyun didn't speak, Xu Zhijun continued, "There might have been some mistakes along the way. I'll send someone to find out what happened. You can stay here for the night and go back tomorrow."
The fact that they're in such a hurry to get rid of people suggests they have something to hide.
"Go back? Why should we go back?"
Chen Yunyun tried her best to imitate the mannerisms of the original owner's country woman, occasionally revealing a greedy look on her face.
“Zhijun, I asked around today, and at your rank, your family members are allowed to accompany you. Why don’t you ask your superior to give me a report, and I can stay here with my child?”
"Look how beautiful this building is! I've never lived in an apartment building before! Let the children live here too!"
Looking at Chen Yunyun's naive and unsophisticated appearance, Xu Zhijun felt a sense of contempt and found her increasingly disgusting.
He would never let her stay in the army, and those few burdens wouldn't stand in his way!
In the afternoon, Jiang Xinyi came to see him, pleading with him in his office to get things done as soon as possible.
Deputy Regiment Commander Jiang will be back soon.
If Jiang Xinyi's father found out about this, his future career advancement would be ruined, let alone marrying Jiang Xinyi. Xu Zhijun naturally agreed without hesitation.
He looked up at the foolish woman and thought to himself, "Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Xu Zhijun took an envelope from the drawer; it was bulging inside. He handed it to Chen Yunyun.
"This is the money I've saved. You can keep it for now. We can talk about accompanying the soldier tomorrow."
"It's getting late, you should go to sleep."
Xu Zhijun waved his hand, wanting Chen Yunyun to leave the study, but Chen Yunyun didn't move an inch. Right in front of him, she opened the envelope and counted the money inside.
"Thirty...sixty...one hundred and twenty...is this all you've saved over the years?"
Xu Zhijun had over twenty yuan every month. After sending five yuan home each month, he still had at least fifteen yuan left. He thought he could get rid of her with that little money, but Chen Yunyun wasn't going to fall for it.
When Xu Zhijun met Chen Yunyun's eyes, for a moment he felt as if this woman could see right through him.
He scoffed at himself for overthinking; she was just a greedy rural woman, and her questioning was simply because she thought the amount was too small.
Xu Zhijun was extremely disgusted and was about to pretend to respond when Chen Yunyun answered to herself, "Never mind, something is better than nothing."
Chen Yunyun took the money and went out the door.
Xu Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief, but the door was opened again. Xu Zhijun felt his anger rising and couldn't help but shout, "Knock before entering! Don't you have any manners?!"
Chen Yunyun smiled, as if she hadn't heard his scolding, "Where are you staying tonight?"
Xu Zhijun had a gloomy face. "You and the children will share a room, and your brother will share a room. I have other things to do at the team, so I'll be leaving in a bit."
What nonsense about something happening in the team? They're probably rushing to see that third guy.
