Seeing that He Tingchuan remained silent, Yun Jin grew anxious: "Honey, say something!"
Others thought He Tingchuan was disrespecting Yun Jin, and someone laughed out loud: "Oh, Yun Jin, don't say that. Commander He never lies. We all know his character. You don't need to explain."
"That's right, we're all from the same compound, everyone knows each other, right?"
"You should be grateful you can marry Commander He!"
"Absolutely! Do you know how many women want to marry Commander He? It's all because they don't have a good older brother!"
When He Tingchuan brought Yun Jin back after Yun Liye threatened suicide to force him to marry his sister, many hearts broke and they wanted to spit in Yun Jin's face.
That's shameless.
Others are demanding repayment for favors they've received.
She was different; she was forced into marriage out of gratitude.
The people in the compound all looked down on Yun Jin, that shameless woman.
They were actually jealous.
After all, such an outstanding regimental commander like Commander He didn't marry their daughters/sisters/nieces/or any other eligible women with whom they had connections.
Yun Jin finally understood how fierce it was for the original owner to be attacked by this group of jealous and insane women. No wonder she was forced to jump into the lake. If she didn't have such a strong mentality, it would be normal for her to be unable to think straight.
Unfortunately, they met their match this time.
Yun Jin wouldn't be hurt by their sarcastic and veiled remarks.
Her eyes turned cold, and she was about to unleash a torrent of abuse when she heard the man beside her, who had been silent until now, stop pretending to be mute.
He Tingchuan remained expressionless, his tone cold and laced with undeniable anger: "Is this how my wives usually bully my wife?"
The group of older women were stunned for a moment.
Huh, what does Commander He mean by this?
Why does it feel like they're interrogating me?
They must have sensed something was wrong. Don't panic, listen again.
“When I was training in the army, I didn’t stay in the compound much. I thought that since we were all military families, we would definitely help each other, so I left my wife in the compound without worry. Who knew that my wives would bully my wife behind my back?”
He Tingchuan's eyes turned cold: "If you bully my wife, you're bullying me. Do you sisters-in-law think I, He Tingchuan, am easy to bully?"
The older women's expressions changed: "Commander He, you're joking. How could we bully you? We didn't bully your wife either. If you don't believe me, ask your wife."
They passed the buck to Yun Jin.
He Tingchuan also looked at Yun Jin, his sword-like eyebrows and deep eyes silently revealing a hint of encouragement. This was the first time Yun Jin had seen a gentle expression on his usually expressionless face.
He actually encouraged himself.
What is he afraid of?
Could it be that he thinks he's someone who suffers and endures hardship?
joke.
Yun Jin's philosophy is to take life and death lightly and to fight if someone disagrees.
They've all gone all out at point-blank range, how can I not fight back?
Amidst the subtle warnings and threats from the older women, and the implication that "if you dare to tell on us, we won't play with you anymore," Yun Jin opened her mouth and uttered words that brought joy to some and sorrow to others.
Yun Jin spoke in a teasy tone, "My sisters-in-law are very good to me, and they take good care of me..."
Upon hearing this, the older women beamed with joy and couldn't wait to shift the blame: "Commander He, look, your wife said it herself. We treat her very well and take good care of her. There's no such thing as bullying her. Don't be fooled."
He Tingchuan's gaze turned slightly cold, though he didn't show any disappointment. Those who knew him well understood that he was on the verge of anger.
Commander He was displeased.
Someone's going to be in trouble!
Yun Jin seemed not to hear what the older women were saying and continued, "So you're saying that I, from the countryside, am not good enough for you, that my brother's death was worthwhile, that he gave his life to get me a good man, and that I'm just living off my brother's blood, and that I shouldn't have married you."
The moment those words were spoken, the older women stopped laughing.
They did say that.
Unexpectedly, this little vixen revealed everything in front of Commander He.
They didn't have time to glare at Yun Jin; they instinctively looked at He Tingchuan and saw that his face was gloomy and his fists were clenched so tightly that they cracked, as if he wanted to kill someone. Their hearts trembled at the sight: "Commander He... Commander He, you can't hit women."
He Tingchuan took a deep breath: "Is this how you treat military families? How dare you slander and smear the martyrs like this? Do you even know how much merit Yun Liye made?"
"You now enjoy a peaceful and stable life, and he deserves a lot of credit for it. Now that he has sacrificed his life, you not only do not respect him, but you also smear him. You have disappointed us soldiers who risked our lives and fought on the battlefield."
"Your husbands sacrificed so much and gave so much, and you not only don't feel sorry for them, but you also smear soldiers and slander the families of martyrs. Are your hearts still red?"
He Tingchuan was furious. When he said this, his eyes were sharp as knives. If eyes could kill, these old women would have been killed countless times already.
He never expected that Yun Liye would be slandered and defamed behind his back like this.
“I will tell your men what you said to my wife. If they can’t even teach their own wives well, they don’t need to stay in the army, and they don’t deserve to be soldiers who defend our country.”
The older women panicked: "Commander He... we know we were wrong. We were out of our minds and talking nonsense. We will never do it again. We apologize to your wife and to martyr Yun Liye."
He Tingchuan remained unmoved: "If you're wrong, you're wrong. You can't just let it go like this. Today you can humiliate and slander martyr Yun Liye and his relatives. Tomorrow you can slander the families of other martyrs."
