Zhou Chuan cried out in pain, trying to get up, but he couldn't muster the strength. Perhaps the original owner of this body was too weak and thin; he couldn't get up for the time being. Zhou Chuan could only endure the pain and wait for his body to slowly recover.

Seeing Zhou Chuan like this, the women present couldn't bear to watch any longer. Two of the women who were nearby quickly helped Zhou Chuan up, and one of them even kindly went to their own home to bring Zhou Chuan a small stool.

Then the older women all started firing at Liu Cuilan and her husband.

"Commander Sun, you're really showing off. Now that there are new people, you've immediately forgotten the old ones. But let me give you a piece of advice: don't be so heartless, or you'll suffer the consequences!"

"Isn't that right? No matter how much you dislike her, you can't lay a hand on her. Comrade Zhou Chuan is not as pampered as your new wife, who can eat big fish and meat and can be smashed on the ground without any damage. Comrade Zhou Chuan came here begging for food all the way, and he didn't even look like a human being when he arrived."

"Neither of them are good-for-nothings. How dare a grown man lay a hand on a woman, and how dare a woman who has been educated in the city say such shameless things? They are truly a couple. I've certainly seen a lot of the world today."

"That's right, Cuilan, were you even speaking human language? Huh? If a man runs away, he might be lucky enough to find a way to make a living. But what can a woman do if she runs away? Is she looking for death? These past years have been filled with war and chaos outside. How many men have gone out and never come back? Look how thin she is. How can she possibly survive if she goes out?"

"Why are you telling her all this? She's already gotten a free ride, so she can do whatever she wants. Poor Comrade Xiao, he's had a hard life and didn't marry into a good family."

"I want to see if she'll dare say that to her daughter when she has one!"

The men didn't know what had happened yesterday. At first, they thought Zhou Chuan was Battalion Commander Sun's biological mother. When they saw Zhou Chuan hit Liu Cuilan without saying a word, they thought she had gone too far.

But by now, they realized what was going on: she wasn't Battalion Commander Sun's biological mother at all; she was clearly Battalion Commander Sun's wife.

Tsk tsk, Battalion Commander Sun's mother is quite something, how vicious she must be, she's turned her daughter-in-law into an old woman, and now she's even worse off, Battalion Commander Sun doesn't want her anymore, how can the woman not come and make a scene.

After learning the whole story, and seeing his wives speaking up for her, he just stood by without saying anything to stop it. Many people in the army had divorced their wives from their rural hometowns, and those of them who hadn't divorced generally didn't want to get involved in this kind of situation.

If they side with the man, his wife will make a scene; if they side with the woman, it's hard to explain to their comrades. So, in these kinds of situations, they usually just observe and don't take sides.

When Sun Jun saw Zhou Chuan fall to the ground, he knew he might have hit him too hard. Now, being scolded by a group of older women, his face burned with embarrassment: "I...I didn't mean to, I...sigh, I'm sorry!"

Liu Cuilan was naturally unwilling to be scolded by so many people: "How am I not speaking human language? She is a living person who was bullied. Doesn't she know how to fight back? If she can't fight back, why doesn't she run away? What's wrong with what I said? You can all see that she has been mistreated by her in-laws. Why doesn't she run away? If she doesn't run away, she will die. If she runs away, she can have a way to survive. Why doesn't she run away?"

After resting for a while, Zhou Chuan felt much better. Hearing Liu Cuilan's words, he simply stood up, as sitting down always made him feel inferior.

She stood up and stared coldly at Liu Cuilan: "You won't know the pain until you cut yourself. My in-laws are also your in-laws. I hope that one day you will be able to say this with the same courage!"

Liu Cuilan immediately realized what was happening. She looked up and said, "Don't worry, I won't be like you. I have a job and can earn money to support myself. I'm not afraid of my in-laws."

Zhou Chuan glanced at Sun Gousheng: "Did you hear that? Your wife said she can support herself. Can you send your salary back to your hometown? You've been gone for fifteen years. Are you planning to abandon your own parents?"

Sun Jun remained silent with a sullen face. He knew that his wife was just saying nice things and that they shouldn't be taken seriously. He would send money home in private, but he couldn't say it to people's faces.

Seeing that Sun Gousheng remained silent, Zhou Chuan stared at Liu Cuilan and said, "What about you? You can support yourself now, so can your husband send his savings home? For the past fifteen years, I've been the one serving his parents like a slave. His whole family treats me like a servant. Sun Gousheng has never been filial to his parents even once!"

Before Liu Cuilan could agree, the older women next to her agreed on her behalf.

"Why wouldn't she be willing? She can earn her own money, and Battalion Commander Sun's money is just sitting there anyway, so she might as well send it back to her hometown to take good care of her parents!"

“That’s right, Cuilan. With your abilities, you wouldn’t care about that little bit of money. Your in-laws are having a hard time in the countryside, so just ask Battalion Commander Sun to send them some.”

“I see that you, Cuilan, are so filial. Why don’t you bring your parents-in-law over to enjoy their retirement and show them some filial piety on behalf of your Battalion Commander Sun?”

They just couldn't stand Liu Cuilan. They were greedy and only cared about eating and drinking. They wouldn't even send a penny to Battalion Commander Sun's own parents. They were so heartless!

Zhou Chuan is also pitiful. He was completely exploited by the Sun family, and in the end, Sun Jun still bullies him.

Liu Cuilan blushed deeply: "I can support myself, but the child in my belly is my husband Sun Jun's. In short, my affairs are none of your business. You just need to take care of your own families."

"Since you've become a prostitute, don't try to act virtuous. You keep saying you're self-reliant, that you earn your own money and spend it as you please, but you don't even support your own in-laws. You're just fooling yourself. Ask everyone here, who doesn't know what kind of person you are?"
