An 80s female translator was spoiled rotten by a rough and jealous man.

Chapter 7 Chu Yao
Huo Qingshan was caught red-handed by Chief of Staff Lu at the training ground.

Lu Ming's face was ashen, his eyes revealing a hint of anger and undeniable authority. "Huo Qingshan, you're simply being ridiculous!"

Lu Ming's anger was palpable. "Not only did you not go to the medical office to change your dressings on time after you were injured, but you also dared to disobey the doctor's orders and resume training on your own. Do you even care about your own body and the discipline of the army? Just because others flatter you a few times as a 'King of Soldiers,' do you really think that Huo Qingshan's body is made of iron?"

While sternly reprimanding him, Lu Ming pointed to the southwest direction of the training ground: "I order you to go to the infirmary right now and find the medic to change your dressing! If I see you on the training ground again in the next few days, I will absolutely not let you off the hook!"

Lu Ming's tone was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

Huo Qingshan remained unmoved upon hearing this, and replied seriously with his neck stiff: "Chief of Staff, I know my own body. These are just minor injuries, not that precious. I can continue training."

Seeing Huo Qingshan's stubborn and unyielding attitude, Lu Ming's anger flared up again. He glared at Huo Qingshan and roared, "You'll only behave if I kick you, you brat!"

Just then, Zhong Heng, who was standing nearby, noticed with great insight that the chief of staff was really serious this time, and knew that something bad was about to happen.

He rushed forward, grabbed Huo Qingshan, and whispered in Huo Qingshan's ear, "Battalion Commander, don't be stubborn. The Chief of Staff is really angry. Let's go change the dressing first and not make a big deal out of it."

Then, Zhong Heng turned to Lu Ming, stood at attention, saluted, and said solemnly, "Chief of Staff, rest assured, I will take Battalion Commander Huo to the infirmary to change his dressing right now. I will make sure to supervise him to change the dressing properly and ensure that the mission is completed."

After saying that, Zhong Heng disregarded Huo Qingshan's wishes and half-dragged and half-brooked him away from the training ground.

Infirmary.

Chu Yao was standing at the window of the duty room, looking out from time to time, with a hint of anxiety visible in her expression.

Just half an hour ago, she deliberately found an excuse to go to the office building, pretended to run into Lu Ming, and then subtly revealed to Lu Ming that Huo Qingshan had not come to apply medicine for the past few days.

She knew that given Lu Ming's personality, he would definitely bring Huo Qingshan over to exchange the medicine.

The purpose was to create a reasonable and continuous opportunity for herself and Huo Qingshan to spend time together.

Three days ago, Chu Yao was shocked to discover that she had been reborn. However, the tragic experiences of her previous life were still vivid in her mind and she could not bear to look back.

In his previous life, his younger brother Chu Yaozu was an incompetent and reckless man who always liked to cause trouble. He dropped out of school to start a business, just like others, and ended up accumulating a large debt in less than a year.

After learning about this, Liu Xiue spent her days in tears, constantly lamenting her miserable life: "Oh dear, I am so unlucky. I worked hard all my life and finally managed to support my eldest daughter through vocational school. I thought good days were coming and I could finally enjoy my retirement, but I never expected this terrible thing to happen."

As she spoke, she pretended to hit Chu Yaozu, saying, "You unfilial son, all you do is fool around outside all day. Now you've made such a mess of things. Do you really expect anyone to clean up your mess?"

The force with which she slapped Chu Yaozu on the head was less than one-fifth of the force she used when she was angry and lashed out at Chu Yao years ago.

Chu Daqing also had a gloomy expression, sitting in the corner smoking and sighing incessantly.

During that time, the house seemed to be shrouded in thick dark clouds, and the atmosphere was gloomy and oppressive.

Chu Yaozu wasn't idle either. He pulled Chu Yao aside and whispered to her, "Sister, only you can save me now. Boss Xu is still single. After I showed him your photo, he was very satisfied with you and fell in love at first sight. He told me that if you are willing to marry him, the debts our Chu family owes can be wiped clean, and he can even give you a generous dowry."

He pleaded pitifully, "Sister, please save me! I'm still young, I don't want to go to jail. Sister! You can't just stand by and watch your own brother go to his death, can you?"

Looking at the younger brother she had raised since childhood, Chu Yao was deeply moved by his heartfelt calls of "sister."

Ultimately, pressured by her parents and pleaded with her younger brother, she obeyed their arrangement and married Chu Yaozu's creditor.

At that time, she was completely unaware of her true background, and the bond of blood made her reluctant to refuse.

In addition, the Chu couple and Chu Yaozu, that good-for-nothing, kept deceiving her, saying that the Boss Xu in the east of the city owned two machinery factories, three food factories, and a large transportation company with a huge fleet. He said that after marrying into the family, she could just wait to live a good life and be a rich wife.

So after a barrage of sweet talk and gentle persuasion, Chu Yao finally relented and agreed to the marriage.

Unexpectedly, after marrying him, she discovered that she was Xu Penggang's fourth wife; it was said that his first three wives had all died. After marriage, the man was irritable and unpredictable, and infidelity was commonplace. In addition, he would come home drunk every day and beat and verbally abuse her at will.

Whenever the Chu couple heard her complaints, they would just offer lukewarm words of comfort and advice: "When a couple lives together, there are always some bumps along the way. There will always be some frictions, big and small. As long as the two of you are willing to spend more time getting along and working things out, everything will be fine in time. These are not big problems."

In short, he adopted an attitude of indifference and detachment, showing no trace of the humble and guilty look he had when he begged her to marry him.

At first, Chu Yao was genuinely disheartened several times, and later she gave up the idea of ​​asking them for help.

She just couldn't understand how they could be so cold and indifferent to their own daughter, with whom they shared blood ties.

From childhood to adulthood, my parents have always favored my younger brother more. This kind of preference for sons over daughters is not uncommon in other families.

Chu Yao could disregard the fact that her parents treated her younger brother better than her, but right now, to them, she might not even be as important as a stranger.

Until one day, Xu Penggang was dissatisfied with the fact that her workplace was full of men and wanted her to quit and go home. After she refused, he punched and kicked her again.

This time, her resistance to the assault enraged him, and he ran to the kitchen, grabbed a cleaver, and attacked her.

After being taken to the hospital, she received thirty-five stitches and lay there half-dead for more than half a month. Not a single person from the Chu family came to see her once.

After recovering from her serious illness, she made up her mind that she must divorce Xu Penggang no matter what. She returned to the Chu family to tell them her decision.

As soon as I opened the door with my key, I heard the Chu couple and Chu Yaozu talking inside.

Chu Yaozu's voice was filled with anxiety: "Boss Xu told me that Chu Yao must return to the Xu family within three days. If he doesn't see her within three days, he'll make me pay back the money and said he'll send me to prison for life. Mom and Dad, what should we do?"

Chu Daqing flicked the cigarette in his hand twice, his lips curled down, and he spoke first: "Don't panic, your sister is still in the hospital. Let your mother try to persuade her to go back first. If that doesn't work, we'll drug her soup and knock her out. We'll tie her up and take her back to the Xu family."

He spoke in a forceful tone, and his eyes grew increasingly sinister.

Liu Xiu'e, sitting to the side, quickly chimed in, "That's how we should do it. After her father died, her mother abandoned her, leaving her on the main road at the village entrance. If we hadn't kindly taken her in, she would have frozen to death in that freezing weather. Our Chu family raised her to adulthood and even supported her through vocational school. Now that she's landed a good job as a sanitation worker, it's time for her to repay us."

Listening to the back-and-forth conversation inside the room, Chu Yao felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, a bone-chilling cold spreading throughout her body.

The truth suddenly appeared before her without any warning.

In an instant, Chu Yao's world collapsed. Her mind went blank, and she was almost numb, but the intense, dull pain in her heart was something she couldn't ignore.

Unbelievable?
Heartache?
Disappointed?
It seems to be more than just disappointment.

Over the years, she has devoted herself wholeheartedly to this family.

As a child, she would run to the fields to do farm work as soon as she got out of school, and get up early to cook meals for the family, even though she was much shorter than the stove at that time.

When my mother's shoulders ache, I immediately put down my homework and massage them for her.

I used the first money I earned from my summer job to buy my dad the cigarettes he loves to smoke.

Her younger brother was being bullied by the boys at school. She was thin and frail, but despite being scared, she would still stand in front of him.

...In the end, they treated me so cruelly.

It turns out she was adopted.

Oh, I see. That explains everything...
