Transmigrated into a child bride, she punishes scumbags, raises children, and marries a soldier.

Commander Xiao, who had just finished getting his food at the canteen, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He looked around but didn't see anything unusual. He then lowered his head to eat, but after only one bite, he couldn't eat anymore.

After all, he had just tasted meat. As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Compared to the "delicious delicacies" just now, what he was eating now was simply pig swill. How could he possibly swallow it?

Looking at the pale, lifeless radishes in front of him, Commander Xiao regretted it. He should have just eaten his fill first before speaking... So what if someone says a few words? It won't hurt him!

Why is he being so dramatic?

Actually... he's actually a pretty good cook, he just has a bad temper, but he can put up with it for the sake of food.

Ugh, that idiot! He probably fell for their trick!

Zhou Chuan originally thought that after this incident, Commander Xiao would not come back for dinner for a while, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't take it to heart at all and came back again right at mealtime the next day.

Moreover, this time they were clearly smarter. As soon as they entered the house, they didn't say a word, served themselves rice, and started eating, completely ignoring their expressions.

Zhou Chuan made a mistake. She hadn't cooked for him at all, and he had a huge appetite, so there wouldn't be enough food for lunch. But given his nonchalant attitude, she couldn't just kick him out, could she? The key point was, even if she asked, he might not leave.

There was no other way, so she could only ask Xiao Ran to bring out some rice crusts to make do: "It's okay, go get them. Auntie will bake some more for you this afternoon. Auntie is too lazy to wash rice and cook again. Go quickly."

Today she stewed a big pot of soup with two large bones and a pig's trotter. For vegetables, she only made a cucumber salad and pickled radish to make do. The soup with pig's trotter and pork bone broth and crispy rice will taste good, so she won't have to start cooking again.

While feeding the baby, she looked at Commander Xiao and said, "The three of us combined don't eat as much as you alone. Yesterday's bill only included the three of us, not you. If you come back for dinner every day from now on, you'll have to pay extra."

She couldn't let him take advantage of the situation; even if he did, she had to fix it right away.

Upon hearing this, Commander Xiao immediately forgot his previously planned strategy: "No, what do you mean? What do you mean I'm worth three of you? Do you expect me to pay you eighty a month? You're really extorting too much from me. I only have a small monthly salary. If I give it all to you, I'll be left with nothing."

Zhou Chuan remained calm and composed: "Who told you to eat so much? Saying you're worth three of me is an understatement. If you come back to eat here, you'll pay for your meals. If you don't come back to eat here anymore, then pay the amount we agreed on yesterday."

Commander Xiao shoveled down several more mouthfuls of rice, then picked up a piece of cucumber to eat with it. He felt increasingly reluctant to eat in the canteen: "I don't eat at home every day. I'll be going on missions frequently in the future, so I'll only eat there occasionally... Isn't that too much?" He'd rather eat at home. The canteen food is nowhere near as good as what he gets at home.

Zhou Chuan was a reasonable person, and after hearing what he said, he thought it made a lot of sense: "Okay, then let's calculate it by the day, at 1.5 yuan per day. Pay half a month's food fee first, which is 23 yuan. We'll settle the total at the end of the month, and refund or collect the difference. Don't worry, I will definitely not overcharge you."

Commander Xiao truly lost his appetite: "Wait a minute, why did you raise the price? Wasn't it forty? How did it become twenty-three in just half a month? You can't do this! What are you trying to do... this is blatant robbery!"

Zhou Chuan fed the little girl some stewed pig's trotters, then turned to look at him with a matter-of-fact expression: "Shouldn't I charge you a little extra for your trouble? We only needed to chop two cucumbers, but with you, I had to chop three more. All that extra work, and you're still not happy about it?" Zhou Chuan rolled his eyes as he spoke.

"If you're not happy, I'm not happy either! I'm already exhausted from taking care of two little ones, and now I have to cook for you, a grown man, on top of that. Do you know how hard it is for me? You really don't know how to be considerate at all!"

"What you said isn't wrong, but you're asking for too much. I only earn so much in a month. If I give it all to you, I... I won't be able to afford it anymore. Please ask for less, just a little less."

Commander Xiao was filled with regret. What nonsense had he spouted? He had said that all she had to do was take care of the children and not worry about anything else. Now, his face had been slapped in the face. She really didn't care, not even bothering to cook a meal.

It's too late to regret it later. Instead of regretting it now, it's better to shamelessly ask for a discount.

Zhou Chuan was speechless: "You're a regimental commander, for a few dollars... is it really worth it? You need to show the same confidence you had when we first met. It's just a few dollars, give it to me! You have to do it this way. You're haggling with a commoner like me over two or three dollars. It makes me uncomfortable. You need to show some confidence, that domineering confidence, that confidence that a few dollars is nothing!"

Commander Xiao chuckled, "I'd like to show some strength, but haven't you taken all my salary through your machinations? I'm broke right now, and I still owe Old Ma money for the broken glass... Could you be a little lenient?"

It's easy for her to talk when she's not in his shoes. She's almost swindled him out of his meager salary, and now she still has the nerve to belittle him. It's infuriating.

"It's not like you give me all your salary. I only take what I'm entitled to, and I absolutely won't take a single penny of what I'm not entitled to. I keep my word. If you're worried, I can reimburse you every month." She herself wasn't short of money and never thought of taking advantage of him. The extra money she asked for was for the two children.

When Commander Xiao saw that the other person was angry, he quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. Sigh, I really don't have much left. Look, let me do the math for you. Yesterday you said that the two children's daily expenses are forty, plus Xiao Ran's pocket money of five yuan, plus your salary of twenty-five, that's seventy. How much do I actually have in a month?"

"I really don't have that much money. Could you give me less? I need to send money back home, and there are expenses for visiting my comrades... Not to mention anything else, just the glass in Old Ma's house costs ten yuan. His wife has already confronted me several times. Could you give me less?"

If Old Ma hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known his son was so hot-blooded, smashing a whole wall of glass. The little guy got his revenge, but his father had to pay for it. Sigh!

Zhou Chuan couldn't stand seeing how arrogant he was, now counting on his fingers while pretending to be pitiful with his eyes watery. He said, "Alright, alright, I'm scared of you. Here's the deal: if you stay home for more than half a month, I'll charge you a fee for your trouble. If you stay for a few days but less than half a month, I'll be a good person and won't charge you."

After thinking it over, Commander Xiao had nothing to say. If he really had to eat at home for a whole month, he would feel bad making people work for free.

After agreeing on a price, Commander Xiao became much bolder when he came back for dinner, eating without any hesitation. Zhou Chuan always had to cook extra food for him.

Because of the new big spender in the family, Zhou Chuan often had to go grocery shopping with Li Dazui. Ever since she scared her last time, Li Dazui had never come to their house again. However, although she hadn't come, their relationship had improved quite a bit.
