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

It's unclear what Sun Jun whispered to Liu Cuilan inside, but after a while, only Sun Jun came out of the house.

Seeing that Liu Cuilan hadn't followed him out, Political Commissar Ma's eyes showed satisfaction. Things would be much easier from here on out. He turned to Zhou Chuan and said, "Comrade Zhou Chuan, now that Cuilan isn't here, and I'm keeping an eye on things, I guarantee Sun Jun won't dare lay a finger on you. Could you perhaps ask the outsiders to leave for a moment?"

He took two more steps closer, trying to keep his voice down: "When we talk about money later, it might sound bad to others, don't you think?" The amount of money varies from person to person, so it's best not to let others know.

Zhou Chuan thought for a moment and then agreed: "Okay, let's do it the way Political Commissar Ma wants."

When it comes to money, you really have to be very careful. Don't be fooled by their current sympathy for her; once they find out she's making hundreds of dollars in the blink of an eye, some of them will definitely change their tune.

Political Commissar Ma nodded repeatedly: "You've done the right thing by listening to me. Don't worry, our unit will make sure you don't suffer any losses in this matter."

"I've heard that similar incidents happen quite often in our military region. I suppose Political Commissar Ma is already quite familiar with them," Zhou Chuan said with a forced smile.

Political Commissar Ma chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, no, no."

Then he turned around and shouted at the crowd of onlookers: "Nothing better to do? Go train on the training field! You're all so idle!"

The men already knew what was going on; it didn't matter whether they looked or not. The women wanted to stay a little longer, but after Political Commissar Ma's harsh words, they decided it wasn't appropriate to stay any longer.

They roughly knew what the next step would be: to pay some money and settle the matter. They had seen too much of this in the past year. Before leaving, they all glanced at Zhou Chuan, sighed, and went home.

"Comrade Zhou Chuan, I think you should talk in my office. It's not appropriate inside... Cui Lan, and it's not appropriate in this courtyard either." After thinking it over, Political Commissar Ma felt that it would be better to talk in his office, so he made a tactful suggestion.

Zhou Chuan was indifferent, but Sun Jun was more than happy to accept it, so Political Commissar Ma led the two men to his office.

As soon as he entered the office, Zhou Chuan found a chair and sat down, looking calmly at Political Commissar Ma: "Political Commissar Ma, you have experience. So, according to your usual practices, how did your army deal with someone like me, a country wife who has been tormented for over twenty years and has no children?"

"What do you mean by 'method'? That's a rather harsh way of putting it. We make proper arrangements for every military dependent who comes to the unit. As for the specific circumstances of each person, that depends on the conditions of the man." Political Commissar Ma closed the door tightly and patiently explained to Zhou Chuan.

The woman seems quite aggressive; things might not go well later.

Sun Jun stood obediently to the side, looking like he would do whatever Director Ma told him to do.

Zhou Chuan wasn't fooled: "Then tell me roughly how your unit usually deals with my situation?" Whether it's being dealt with or not, everyone knows the answer, so why be so hypocritical?

Political Commissar Ma did not answer immediately. He first poured Zhou Chuan a cup of tea, then poured himself a cup, looking somewhat troubled: "Comrade Zhou Chuan, we have never encountered a situation like yours before."

There is indeed no precedent. Those who came to make trouble before were basically women who had given birth to sons. There had never been any women who had only given birth to daughters or had never given birth before.

It is extremely rare for someone like Zhou Chuan to be so confident despite not having children.

Generally, it is because they have given birth to a son that they have the confidence to make a fuss. Even if they make a fuss, they still end up getting money in return. But it is precisely because they have given birth to a son that they are not without hope when they return to their hometown. Although the son's biological father does not want her anymore, he has not said that he does not want his son. He still sends money every month. As a result, their lives are much better than before.

So, people like Zhou Chuan are indeed quite troublesome. But looking at the trouble he's caused since arriving at the military region, it'll only get worse if it's not resolved.

Political Commissar Ma frowned and tentatively asked, "Comrade Zhou Chuan, you can speak up if you have any thoughts!" He wanted to see what she thought first.

Zhou Chuan took a sip of tea and looked down at the tea leaves: "Political Commissar Ma, I come from the countryside and don't know much about these things. Why don't you give me a rough idea first, so I can have a better idea? In case I ask for an exorbitant amount, you'll think I'm being unreasonable, don't you think?"

Political Commissar Ma looked up at Sun Jun and said, "Sun Jun, what do you say? This is ultimately your own business. Although I am your political commissar, there are some things I cannot decide for you."

Political Commissar Ma gave Sun Jun a look of exasperation, urging him to speak properly. This was a big problem that would be difficult to handle if things escalated, so he had to show some sincerity.

Sun Jun was called out and didn't know what to say. All the money he had saved was with Liu Cuilan, and he had secretly sent his own savings home a few days ago. Now he really didn't have much money on him.

He whispered a few words in Political Commissar Ma's ear, and then Political Commissar Ma apologized to Zhou Chuan and left. The two of them whispered to each other outside the office for a while before coming back in.

Zhou Chuan looked at them calmly: "What, have you made up your mind?"

Sun Jun looked a little awkward: "You... how about this? I, I can give you two hundred yuan. It's just, I'm a little short on cash right now. Well, I can give you one hundred first, and then, in a year, when I'm in a better financial situation, I'll give you the remaining one hundred."

Sun Jun stammered as she finished speaking, then looked at Zhou Chuan nervously. The money was a bit small, but it was a lot of money in the countryside. She didn't have any children, so she could just take care of herself. Two hundred yuan should be enough.

Commissar Ma didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Some female comrades were easily appeased with 100 yuan, while the more assertive ones were only given 300 or 400 yuan. But those women all had several children at home. They had to raise their children and find wives for their sons, so giving them too little wouldn't do. For someone like Comrade Zhou Chuan, 200 yuan was already quite a lot.

Speaking of which, this is when liberation came, and only then did soldiers start receiving wages. Before, when they were fighting everywhere, they had no money at all.

Zhou Chuan drank her tea without saying a word. After finishing her tea, she smashed the teacup. She looked up at Sun Jun and said, "I worked as a farmhand for the landlord. I was provided with food and lodging, and I could earn ten or twenty yuan a year. I was eight years old when I came to your house. You were old enough to remember things by then. You should know how your mother treated me. After you ran away, your mother couldn't even afford a bowl of wild vegetable porridge and left me to fend for myself outside. But you didn't reduce the chores at your house at all."

“Your Sun family really made a good plan. In our countryside, even if you keep livestock, you still have to feed them grass. Your family is so lucky. They don’t even give us a single blade of grass. I have to find everything myself. I’m busy working and I have to go to the mountains to find food. I’m so tired every day that I’m not even as good as the livestock in the village. Otherwise, how could I have fallen to this state in just over ten years?”

"Don't worry about your two hundred dollars. Even if you gave it to me, I'd still find it dirty and smelly. I just want to vent my anger. Even if I hang myself after I've vented, I'll accept it. I'm going to report you to your commander. Your parents treat me like I'm not human. What kind of good person is their son? Can someone like that be an officer?"

"Don't you dare mislead the youth!"

"It's not just me, but also your three older sisters. You know where they were sold to, I know you know. How does it feel to eat the blood of your own sisters? Doesn't it taste especially good?"

Sun Jun's face flushed red: "Stop talking! Stop talking! Stop talking..."

He squatted down and kept rubbing his hair. When he was young, he didn't understand, but after experiencing more things, he understood perfectly well. It was precisely because he understood that he was in pain, in excruciating pain.

Although Political Commissar Ma didn't know the details, after hearing Comrade Zhou Chuan's mention, he could roughly guess that for someone like Sun Jun to be in such a situation, his three older sisters must have been sold to some filthy place...

His expression turned serious: "Comrade Zhou Chuan, are you threatening me?"

Zhou Chuan met his gaze with icy eyes: "Political Commissar Ma, is this a threat? I've said nothing false. If you don't believe me, you can go to Sun Jun's hometown to investigate."

Political Commissar Ma lifted Sun Jun, who was squatting on the ground, and sat him down on a chair: "Maybe what you said is true, but one thing is one thing. Sun Jun is a good comrade. Everything he has now is earned through hard work and fighting."

"Over the years, we have been fighting wars. The dangers and near-death experiences we have faced are beyond the imagination of our comrades in the rear. It is precisely because of our sacrifices and battles that you can now stand in front of us and negotiate."

"You have certainly suffered injustice, but for the sake of this new country, we have not only suffered injustice, but many of us have even lost our lives. Even among those of us who are still alive, who among us is without some kind of wound?"

"I'm telling you all this not so you can just swallow your pride. Our army isn't an unreasonable place. If there's a grievance, we'll seek redress; if there's suffering, we'll voice our grievances. However, I sincerely hope you won't let hatred cloud your judgment. Born in this era, we are all destined to suffer injustices, and we are all destined to compromise."

Commissar Ma spoke very seriously, and it's no wonder he was biased. They had survived a hail of bullets, and being alive was a stroke of luck. They couldn't afford to be ruined by a woman.
