Wei Guo's gaze toward Zhou Chuan turned hostile. He knew that she had come with the intention of causing trouble, but he hadn't expected that she couldn't even wait one night before seeking revenge on the battalion commander's wife.

This is a serious matter. Even if the battalion commander wronged him, his current wife shouldn't be held accountable, especially since she's pregnant.

Furthermore, one of the parties involved has not yet returned, so he cannot simply listen to what she says. What exactly happened back in their hometown? Did Sun Jun make any arrangements? To put it bluntly, what if she is an imposter?

“Comrade Zhou Chuan, your behavior today has gone too far. This is the army, not the countryside, not a place where you can run wild!” Wei Guo said bluntly.

"Then please tell me, Political Commissar Wei Guo, exactly how did I act wildly?"

Zhou Chuan originally wanted to explain things to him properly, but seeing his attitude, she gave up. She understood that he had convicted her without even asking a single question!

The older women who came with Zhou Chuan wanted to say something in his defense, but they were interrupted by Wei Guo after only saying, "Political Commissar Wei, actually..."

"Let's talk to the sisters-in-law later. I need to find out what's going on with her first!"

The others, seeing that Political Commissar Wei seemed to be targeting the child bride, thought it would be a good thing if she could take the blame for this whole thing, so they didn't say anything more to explain.

"Comrade Zhou Chuan, do you know what you're doing? You're committing murder! Sister Liu is pregnant and can't be subjected to any stress. What were you planning by knocking her to the ground?"

“I know you hate Battalion Commander Sun, but no matter how much grudge you have against him, you still have to wait for him to explain things to you. Don’t you think it’s going too far to secretly visit his wife without even saying a word?”

Wei Guo now truly regrets not having found someone to keep an eye on this crazy woman. If his sister-in-law's baby were to be lost, how could he face his brother?

Zhou Chuan snorted coldly: "Commissar Wei, are you trying to be Bao Zheng, making absolute judgments? I don't understand. You, Commissar Yun, weren't even there before. Which eye of yours saw me secretly finding Sun Gousheng's wife? And which eye of yours saw me knock someone to the ground?"

"If you convict me without seeing it with your own eyes, I will risk my life to seek justice!"

Wei Guo spun around in anger: "Let me tell you, the place you're standing on right now is the army. Those tricks you learned in the countryside—crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide—won't work here, understand?"

He hasn't even settled accounts with her yet, and she's already threatening to kill herself. What's wrong with her?!

"You're asking me which eye I saw it with? I saw it with both eyes. There was such a big, living person lying on the ground. I'm not blind, how could I not see it?"

Zhou Chuan retorted, "So what if it's the military? Does that mean the military can act with impunity? They're trying to convict me without even asking any questions!"

"Do you even need to ask? The person is lying on the ground, screaming for help. I'm wondering what your heart is made of today. A pregnant woman is lying on the ground, screaming for help, and you just stand there and watch, not even trying to lend a hand?"

Wei Guo had never seen such a ruthless woman. To avenge her own family, she would actually watch a pregnant woman wait to die. That was what he thought, and it was reflected in his tone, which became increasingly stern.

“You’re a woman too, you must know how dangerous it is for a pregnant woman to fall. You knew that, yet you stood by and did nothing. Do you know what you did? Huh? That’s refusing to help someone in distress! That’s murder for money!”

Zhou Chuan was so angry he laughed: "I've been living alone for fifteen years, how am I supposed to know what it's like to be pregnant? I don't even know what it's like to be with a man! My whole life has been ruined by that Sun Gousheng!"

"You dare ask me what my heart is made of? My heart used to be made of a soft persimmon, anyone could squeeze it. Now my heart is made of stone. She's pregnant and doesn't even care about the child in her belly. I'm just a poor soul whose man she stole. How could I possibly care about her? To put it bluntly, even if she were to bleed to death on the spot, I wouldn't even blink an eye!"

What a lunatic! The original owner was harmed so badly by those two scoundrels, and she didn't stab her to death the moment she arrived, which was already quite restrained. You expect her to kindly save people? What are you thinking? You'll have to wait until tonight to dream about it.

Wei Guo was both angry and ashamed. His hand trembled as he pointed at Zhou Chuan: "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm not referring to that. You, you, you're utterly shameless! Even if you didn't do that, haven't you ever seen a pig run before?"

Zhou Chuan rolled his eyes: "I've seen pigs run, but I've never eaten pork. How would I know what pork tastes like? The pigs I raised have all ended up on your sister-in-law Liu Cuilan's bed, and I still don't know what they taste like!"

The military wives laughed when they heard this, and began to whisper among themselves.

"Yeah, we've already done it, so why are we afraid of being criticized?"

"What you said, girl, is hilarious. This couple really isn't a good person."

Wei Guo gasped repeatedly, "Can't you, a woman, at least have some sense of shame? What man would want someone like you?" Sun Jun was thankful he hadn't dated someone like her; good heavens, she said anything, had absolutely no shame! As if remembering something, he suddenly changed his mind and spoke sharply to Zhou Chuan.

"Did you deliberately try to abort Liu Cuilan's child because of that...? Let me tell you, if that's the case, you're committing a crime and you'll go to jail!"

Now the women who came with Zhou Chuan also felt that Political Commissar Wei had gone too far. They had seen the whole thing. Battalion Commander Sun's adopted daughter-in-law hadn't done anything to the woman surnamed Tian. On the contrary, it was Liu Cuilan's shameless attempt to frame her that failed, which is why she fell to the ground.

However, even though they knew that Political Commissar Wei had gone too far, only one or two of them were willing to speak up.

"Political Commissar Wei, you can't just side with Liu Cuilan because you have a good relationship with Battalion Commander Sun. What happened just now really wasn't Battalion Commander Sun's fault; Liu Cuilan fell on her own..."

Wei Guo ignored their explanations: "I know you usually look down on military wives in the city, but you should know when to stop making a scene. Sister Liu is still in critical condition. Do you have any conscience?"

Does he not know that there have long been factions in the family compound, one from the city and one from the countryside, and the two sides don't get along. They just quarrel occasionally, but now that the pregnant woman is in such a state, these people still can't distinguish right from wrong and are actually helping outsiders to fight against their own people.

His words infuriated the women present.

"What nonsense are you spouting? How are we heartless? She clearly tried to bump into someone, but missed and fell down on her own..."

Zhou Chuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Wei Guo: "It seems that Political Commissar Wei is convinced that I am going to kill Sun Gousheng's second wife. Fine, if that's how you put it, then I have nothing more to say to you."

"After all, this is your army. I'm just a country bumpkin with no relatives or friends. You, Political Commissar Wei, have such a high rank, yet you didn't even ask me a single question before accusing me of murder for money!"

"Who is your commander? Whether you arrest me and bring me before him or take me to him, I don't trust you, Political Commissar Wei. I refuse to believe that such a large army doesn't even have a place to reason with people!"

Caught between two sides, Wei Guo was furious, his face turning ashen: "What did I say? I just said a few words about the matter at hand! Liu Cuilan is pregnant. If you hadn't hit her, would she have thrown herself like that? If you didn't hit her, did she put the slap marks on her face herself? I know you're angry, but you should take it out on the person directly responsible. Liu Cuilan only got together with Battalion Commander Sun later. She doesn't know anything about what happened between you two!"

Zhou Chuan confronted him directly: "How do you know they don't know? Just now you kept saying you didn't know about Sister Liu Cuilan, but she admitted it in front of so many of us. You, Political Commissar Wei, don't understand the situation and you're just showing off your power. You disagree with the older women and say that you're a country bumpkin who can't stand city people."

"Then why don't you ask your sister-in-law Liu Cuilan how she spoke to everyone just now? If she hadn't kept threatening us with how bad things would have been, would we have just stood by and done nothing? We were only afraid of being extorted by her, weren't we? We country folk live a hard life, how could we afford to support your sister-in-law Tian's lavish lifestyle? You reap what you sow, she brought this upon herself, it's not our fault!"

The older women listened and nodded repeatedly.

"Exactly! She was the one who hit someone, but now she's blaming us. Why should we?

"Political Commissar Wei, don't be too biased. So many of us are watching."

"Hmph, I know you and Battalion Commander Sun are inseparable, but you can't treat his country wife like this. If Battalion Commander Sun hadn't brought this upon himself, would she have come all this way to find him?"

“Look at her, she’s only thirty years old, but she looks three years older than my country grandmother. The Sun family is really wicked. If Liu Cuilan’s child doesn’t survive this time, then it can only be blamed on the fact that the two of them have done too many wicked things, and even God can’t stand it.”

The women were chattering away when Wang Yida rushed out of the health center.
