He Tingchuan glanced at the gloating woman and her protruding belly. How did she know it was a son? What if it was a daughter?
The thought of his own daughter, just like the woman before him, with red, aggrieved eyes, pitifully crying to him about being bullied, made He Tingchuan's fists harden.
He coldly interrupted the women from the compound who came to complain to him, and stood calmly in front of Yun Jin, proudly standing in a protective posture.
“My wife wouldn’t even kill an ant. She’s pregnant and has difficulty moving around. What heinous things could she possibly do?”
Yun Jin nodded in agreement, looking aggrieved and innocent.
The others looked annoyed at her feigned ignorance.
Holding a grudge, He Tingchuan spoke up: "Apologize to my unborn son."
The women in the compound: "..."
He Tingchuan stared at Cao's sister-in-law, who had offended his son, with a cold, piercing gaze. His powerful and domineering aura made the woman's heart tighten: "Does Battalion Commander Cao know that his sister-in-law has such a sharp tongue?"
Under his piercing gaze, Sister-in-law Cao, who had been singled out, looked pale and fearful, and humbly apologized, "Sister-in-law, this wasn't a slip of the tongue. Blame your wife, she really is..."
Before the woman could finish speaking, He Tingchuan defended her, saying, "My wife is very good; she doesn't need your praise."
Yun Jin looked up at the woman who had been humiliated and almost burst out laughing.
When she saw He Tingchuan looking over, she immediately suppressed her joy and put on a weak, pitiful, and vulnerable appearance, as if she were being bullied.
She even deliberately stuck out her six-month-old belly, as if to say, "If you glare at them, you can't glare at me!"
Knowing that the women were jealous of her marriage to He Tingchuan, Yun Jin, in a fit of rage, patted her large belly to draw their attention to it.
It has a strong tea flavor.
The women present watched, secretly gritting their teeth.
What is there to be proud of?
Any woman can get pregnant, does she think she's something special just because she's pregnant?
It's not like they can't have children.
He Tingchuan coldly asked Sister-in-law Cao, "Sister-in-law, tell me, I just got back and I don't know what happened. Who is slandering my wife?"
Yun Jin raised an eyebrow and almost clapped.
Although He Tingchuan was forced to marry the cannon fodder's original wife, he was fiercely protective of her.
The word "slander" is used well.
Isn't that slander?
Yun Jin vouched for herself, saying that neither she nor the cannon fodder original wife had done anything immoral.
Sister-in-law Cao said angrily, "I didn't want to make a big deal out of this, but since Commander He asked, don't blame me for not covering for your wife. Your wife pushed the new instructor, Feng Qianqian, into the lake and she almost drowned."
Yun Jin: "???"
Did I push it?
How come I didn't know?
He Tingchuan looked at Yun Jin, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, his cold and hard face blank, as if this person was not in his mind: "Who is Feng Qianqian?"
Yun Jin rolled her eyes inwardly. Who else could it be? Your future second wife. She's waiting for me to kick the bucket and take her away!
At this point in the novel, He Tingchuan had not yet met Feng Qianqian. They met three years after Yun Jin's death, when they returned to Beijing. Feng Qianqian found an opportunity to get close to him and became He Tingchuan's second wife, marrying the younger brother of the man from her previous life.
That's right, from Feng Qianqian's perspective in her previous life, He Tingchuan was her ex-uncle.
Feng Qianqian was reborn. She was originally married to the male lead's nephew and He Ziqian, but she was unhappy. She was not only abused by her husband, but also thought she was infertile and carried a bad reputation for her whole life. She was bullied and beaten by men a lot in her previous life.
Later, with the reform and opening up, the man went into business and had affairs outside. He brought back a son for her to raise. After the son was raised, he was injured in a car accident and needed a blood transfusion, only to find out that his blood type was incompatible.
It was only after a paternity test that they found out the son wasn't He Ziqian's; the man was found to be infertile, not Feng Qianqian. At that time, Feng Qianqian was already over fifty.
As her life drew to a close, even knowing that the child she couldn't give birth to wasn't hers, she couldn't change anything and could only live with regret for the rest of her life.
Thinking of everything that happened in her previous life, Feng Qianqian, after being reborn, immediately abandoned the scoundrel of her past life and set her sights on the man's uncle, He Tingchuan, who held a high position and was the top leader of the military region. After his first wife died along with her unborn child, he remained single for the rest of his life, adhering to the traditional male virtues.
How could Feng Qianqian miss out on such a good man?
At this moment, He Tingchuan, who was being targeted, was completely unaware.
"The new instructor is here to teach literacy in the family area. You haven't seen him before." Yun Jin thought of Feng Qianqian's actions. She originally came to see her jump into the lake, but after realizing that she was unwilling to follow the script, she actually harbored murderous intent.
Does a female lead like this deserve to be a female lead?
Now they're even accusing me of pushing her into the water, how shameless!
A novel only has one female protagonist. Now that I'm here, the position of female protagonist can be changed.
Thinking of this, Yun Jin narrowed her eyes. If she didn't crush Feng Qianqian today, who knew how the plot would develop in the future?
He Tingchuan nodded coldly, disliking this instructor who had slandered his wife and was not a good person.
"Did she say my wife pushed her into the water?" He Tingchuan would never allow anyone to smear his wife.
Sister-in-law Cao nodded: "That's right. If it weren't for the kind comrade who happened to be passing by and pulled him out, he would probably have drowned by now. If you don't believe me, you can find someone to confront you."
Yun Jin raised an eyebrow, so excited! Were the male and female protagonists of the novel going to meet ahead of schedule?
"Wait a minute." He Tingchuan didn't waste any more words with Sister-in-law Cao. He opened the door and went home. He took a pair of clean shoes and a stool from the shoe rack and gestured for Yun Jin to sit down.
Yun Jin was puzzled.
He Tingchuan frowned: "You don't even know to change your shoes when they're wet? How old are you? Is this how you take care of yourself?"
