Transmigrated into a child bride, she punishes scumbags, raises children, and marries a soldier.
Chapter 15: Crying and Complaining to Create Public Opinion
Zhou Chuan woke up in the afternoon. She quickly ate a sesame seed cake, drank two bowls of water, and then went out as before.
When she arrived at the military district gate, she found that the sentries had been changed. This time, she didn't say she was looking for Sun Gousheng, but instead gave Wang Yida's name directly.
Not long after, Zhou Chuan saw Political Commissar Wang come out: "Excuse me, I have to trouble Political Commissar Wang again. I was thinking that since Sun Gousheng isn't here, and I'm just killing time anyway, could you please take me inside for a stroll?"
Wang Yida really didn't want to get involved, but since his superior had tricked him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go along with it: "Comrade, entering the military region requires identity verification. Now that Battalion Commander Sun isn't here, no one can verify that you are who you are, right?"
Even the battalion commander's nickname was enough to tell him it was definitely him, but he still wanted to decline if possible. If he went in and caused any trouble, the political commissar would definitely make things difficult for him.
Zhou Chuan took out the letter of introduction she had prepared in advance: "This is a letter of introduction from our village. Our village chief wrote it for me. Is it right?" She herself came from this era, so how could she not know the importance of identity issues?
Wang Yida took the letter of introduction, read it carefully, and, confirming there were no problems, mumbled a few words to cover his embarrassment: "Comrade, your surname is Zhou, haha. We have someone with the surname Zhou in our company too..."
Zhou Chuan stared at him intently: "Is this okay?"
Wang Yida had no excuse left and had to agree to take her in. Wang Yida registered her name at the door, and Zhou Chuan pressed her fingerprint before going in.
The further in she went, the more she could hear the sounds of soldiers training, whistles, and officers roaring. Zhou Chuan found it all very interesting; it was her first time entering a military base.
Zhou Chuan followed Wang Yida for about an hour and then said she needed to use the restroom. Wang Yida looked at Zhou Chuan suspiciously but couldn't figure out what was going on, so he had no choice but to take her to the restroom.
Actually, there were only a few places he could take her to see, and they would be done in no time. Every time Wang Yida hinted that it was about time, she would deliberately drag it out, because it was too early and she was afraid that many people were still taking a nap.
Zhou Chuan was lucky; she didn't have to take any unnecessary detours. Since the army was almost entirely composed of male soldiers, there were no women's restrooms in most parts of the garrison area, except near the family quarters.
As Zhou Chuan walked, she gradually saw children playing by the roadside and a group of women chatting under the trees. She then realized that she had arrived at the family quarters.
She had originally planned to use the opportunity of going to the restroom to bypass Wang Yida and ask for help herself, but now she didn't need to; Wang Yida led her directly to the door.
When the women saw Wang Yida leading an old lady over, they asked curiously, "Political Commissar Wang, whose aunt is this, or whose nanny did they hire?"
Wang Yida immediately sensed something was wrong. He was just thinking of helping to smooth things over when the woman started crying. Seeing Wang Yida leading an elderly woman over, the women curiously inquired, "Political Commissar Wang, whose aunt is this, or whose nanny?"
Wang Yida immediately sensed something was wrong. He was just thinking of helping to smooth things over when the other person started crying.
"I'm not anyone's aunt, I'm not a nanny, I'm Sun Jun's first wife... Waaah, that son of a bitch Sun Jun got rich and now he doesn't want me anymore, my life is so miserable..." Zhou Chuan cried and was about to collapse to the ground.
Seeing her posture, Wang Yida didn't have time to think and instinctively took a few steps over to support Zhou Chuan, who was about to collapse to the ground: "Comrade Zhou Chuan, didn't you say you needed to go to the toilet? I'll take you there!"
He'd seen far too much of that rural woman's behavior in the past two years. He was truly terrified of their unreasonable demands; when they got into a rage, it was really... Wang Yida immediately reached out to help the person up.
Zhou Chuan refused. She struggled desperately, crying, "What kind of world is this? Everyone's bullying me like this..."
The women who had been chatting under the tree gathered around. Wow, today's visit was worthwhile; there's going to be a good show. They had heard everything clearly. This old lady—no, I mean, this woman—was Battalion Commander Sun's first wife.
Seeing that people were gathering around, Wang Yida realized he couldn't continue entangled with a woman. He released Zhou Chuan and stood beside him, earnestly advising him:
"Comrade Zhou Chuan, now that Battalion Commander Sun is not here, crying won't do any good. You might as well rest at the guesthouse, take a hot bath or something..." In her condition, what good would it do to find Battalion Commander Sun? Would he change his mind?
Zhou Chuan sat on the ground and continued to "cry": "What else can I do but cry? Sun Jun married me when he was ten years old. We grew up together. And what happened? I've been his family's slave for over twenty years, and his own mother has ruined me into this state... He got promoted, made a fortune, and married a city girl..."
"I'm only thirty years old this year, who would believe that? He ruined my whole life. I didn't even think about leaving alive this time..." She'd rather die than leave here, hanging around in front of them every day, disgusting that scoundrel.
Perhaps Zhou Chuan's aged appearance was too frightening, because the women present believed it. They were also daughters-in-law and knew all too well the tricks that mothers-in-law used to torment their daughters-in-law in the countryside. So they all stood up for Zhou Chuan.
"My God, so this is what Battalion Commander Sun is like..."
"My goodness, if she hadn't said anything, I would have thought she was someone's aunt. She doesn't look like she's thirty at all..."
"That's exactly right! And Battalion Commander Sun is a soldier, how could he do such a thing?"
"Commander Sun seemed like a very upright person on the surface, but I never expected him to be so wicked behind the scenes."
"Poor woman, she's been tortured like this."
"Was she a child bride?"
"That's right! Look at how she's been tortured. What family would let their daughter suffer like that? Only a child bride would..."
"If you're a child bride, life will be tough. We have one in our village, let me tell you..."
When Wang Yida heard her say that she was only thirty years old, he was somewhat moved. How ruthless must it have taken to torment a thirty-year-old like this?
Hearing the crowd discussing the child bride, Zhou Chuan cried even harder: "Isn't it just like what this lady said? The one in the village is considered good, though. Sun Gousheng, oh, Sun Jun's nickname is Sun Gousheng, but Sun Gousheng's mother is truly something else..."
"I ate wild vegetables in the spring, picked fruit in the mountains in the summer, and collected leftover sweet potatoes and peanuts from the fields in the autumn. Even then, I had to be careful that the Sun family wouldn't take them. Winter was truly miserable. If I was lucky, I could find some rotten vegetable leaves that other people had thrown away. I knew that was because the villagers pitied me and deliberately threw them away. If I was unlucky, I could only endure it. Otherwise, how could I have become so thin..."
“That Sun Gousheng is a scoundrel! He was in poor health back then, and I was the one who arranged a marriage to bring him good luck and he recovered. But when we were about to get married, he… he ran away without saying a word. Now everyone in the village is saying that I can’t hold onto a man. God, I’m still a virgin! How can I hold onto him? What can I use to hold him back?”
"I endured it all. He was gone for fifteen years. I stayed home, dutifully serving my in-laws and loving my sisters-in-law, hoping that one day he would come back and we could live a good life together... I waited and waited at home... but... Waaah... I don't want to live anymore... I might as well die... Waaah... And what did I get in return? He's living a carefree life outside, with a wife and children... What have I gained after more than twenty years of hard work? What have I become...?"
As Zhou Chuan spoke, the women also began to cry. They understood his feelings very well. Many of them had been waiting and hoping at home for many years before this day finally came.
They're lucky; the men they marry still want them, unlike her...
Seeing the women crying, Wang Yida was sweating with anxiety: "Comrade Zhou Chuan, we know your grievances, but it's pointless to say them now since Battalion Commander Sun isn't here. If I don't take you back to the guesthouse, I'll definitely let you know first when Battalion Commander Sun returns!"
Zhou Chuan sniffed: "Political Commissar Wang, I know your difficulties. I understand you're afraid of retaliation from Sun Gousheng. You subordinates are truly in a tough spot, but I really have no other choice. I'm a woman who's come all this way, begging and pleading. It wasn't easy! Just let me have a good cry! Look at me, how many more years do I have left to live...?"
As she spoke, Zhou Chuan started crying again. Oh my, she's getting more and more amazing now; she can control her tears so well without even needing ginger.
Hearing Zhou Chuan's words, the women cried even harder and began to criticize Wang Yida:
"Political Commissar Wang, please, just let her cry. She's had such a hard time..."
"Don't you have any conscience at all? Huh? That woman is already in such a state, and you're still helping Sun Gousheng?"
"This is just officials protecting each other. They're all officials, of course they'll protect their own people. It's a pity this comrade has no power or influence..."
Well, they've even brought up the issue of officials protecting each other. What can Wang Yida say? He can't say anything at all.
Seeing that everyone was speaking up for her, Zhou Chuan forced back her tears and expressed her gratitude to them: "Thank you all for listening to my rambling. You are all good people. Good people have good lives. You are all luckier than me. You married good men and became successful outside, and you still remember to bring your old wives from the countryside over."
"Unlike me, I've been watching with bated breath, and not a single person has come back. Even when they wrote home for the first time in fifteen years, they didn't mention me, this poor soul, at all. Sigh, it's all fate... My life is miserable. My father died young, and after he died, my mother remarried to an old widower in the same village, and from then on, she ignored me completely..."
"Sigh, this was my only hope in life, and now... sigh, who could have imagined it? I heard that Gou Sheng married a nurse, and they say she's very young and beautiful. I wonder how young and beautiful she really is?"
Hmph, those two hurt the original owner so badly, they'll pay for it!
The women present were now teary-eyed from Zhou Chuan's words. In their minds, they had already automatically labeled Sun Gousheng's future wife as a vixen and a womanizer. They felt no qualms about speaking ill of her.
"She has to be young and beautiful. Otherwise, would Sun Gousheng even be interested in her?"
"Hmph, she looks like a vixen, all she does is seduce men, and the way she walks, her waist sways like that, it's unbearable to look at."
"The atmosphere in our unit has been corrupted by people like them. They won't marry any decent young men, they insist on marrying men with families, and they talk about love. Pah! They're all just looking to mess around and trying to justify it."
"You don't understand. It's not that she doesn't want to find a decent young man; she wants a young man with money and power. If Battalion Commander Sun were just a common soldier, do you think that vixen would be with him?"
Wang Yida realized the seriousness of the situation and tried to dissuade them several times but failed. He had no choice but to squeeze out of the crowd and go to call for help. After he left, the women present became even more excited.
They were arguing heatedly when they heard a trembling female voice from outside.
Who are you calling a vixen?
