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

Lying on the bed in the guesthouse, Zhou Chuan looked at the receipt and still felt a little dazed. A monthly salary of 15 yuan meant she would be a wage earner from now on.

The next morning, Zhou Chuan packed her bags and left the guesthouse. Political Commissar Ma found her a single room in the family compound. It was then that she learned that not all the rooms there were for officers at the battalion or company level; some were reserved for special talents, such as single military doctors.

The person who brought Zhou Chuan over was Xiao Ge, Political Commissar Ma's bodyguard. He led Zhou Chuan to the last row of the family compound, the third small courtyard to the right from the toilet.

Upon entering, Zhou Chuan noticed that the house's internal structure was somewhat similar to a two-bedroom, one-living-room layout from later generations. Currently, no one lived in the house, and Zhou Chuan was there alone for the time being. He couldn't be more satisfied with this.

After seeing Xiao Ge off, Zhou Chuan wandered around the new house. Actually, the house was just right for a family. Even if they had two more children, they could just put a bunk bed in one room and that would be enough.

Since this place was originally prepared as a dormitory, basic furniture was already provided. The room Zhou Chuan chose had a wardrobe, a desk, and a bed, which was basically enough.

Unlike other family compounds, there is no stove here. If you want, you can probably build one, but Zhou Chuan can forget about it. She's just staying here for free. If she really treats this place as her own home, people will definitely talk about her.

After Zhou Chuan finished her rounds, she started cleaning. After finishing here, she had to go to her employer's house to move her bedding. Luckily, the employer had a conscience and agreed to let her move the things he had prepared for the nanny to her house. Otherwise, she would have had to go to town to buy them.

Well, there's been a lot going on today. Tonight, she'll have to ask Sun Gousheng for money.

Before getting busy, Zhou Chuan took out the last two steamed buns he had left to fill his stomach. Commander Xiao had only given him one day to clean up before he had to go to work tomorrow. Although the furniture was all there and he didn't need to worry about it, there was still a lot of dust, so he still had to clean carefully.

While Zhou Chuan was busy with his work, the older women from the family compound, who had received the news, all came over. As soon as they entered, they looked him over inside and out.

"Comrade Zhou Chuan, what exactly happened? Why are you living here?" Good heavens, this child bride from the countryside is so lucky to be able to stay.

"That's right, Comrade Zhou Chuan. I just saw Xiao Ge leading you over. Did Political Commissar Ma help you get the house?"

"Let me tell you, none of those who came to cause trouble before have had it as good as you. Tsk tsk, you live alone now? My goodness, aren't you scared living alone in such a big house at night?"

"Wow, this house is so spacious! It feels even more spacious than my own home!"

The new house had nothing, but she kept her valuables with her at all times. She was not afraid at all if her older sisters wanted to transfer them.

"What else could it be? That damned Sun Gousheng is truly heartless to the extreme. He didn't give me a single penny. I threatened to hang myself, and Political Commissar Ma couldn't stand it anymore. He said that Commander Xiao's family was hiring a nanny and asked if I would be willing to do it. So I... sigh, I heard that it's not easy to work at his house, but I have no other choice but to give it a try."

Xiao Beichen, with that mouth of his, has no manners whatsoever. He looks young, yet he's a regimental commander. She only learned about his identity later from others. Zhou Chuan had guessed that he was at most a lowly deputy regimental commander, but she didn't expect him to be doing so well. She heard that he's not even forty yet, and he looks to be in his early thirties at most.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chuan felt sad again. "What kind of fate is this? He's almost forty, but he looks like he's in his early thirties. He's in his early thirties, but he looks like he's in his late fifties."

Zhou Chuan was lost in thought. Her older sisters, seeing her like that, assumed she was heartbroken, and considering she would have to rely on Commander Xiao's family for a living in the future...

Comrade Zhou Chuan had probably only heard a few words about it and didn't understand it very well... Once he found out, he'd probably suffer. Thinking this, the envy he felt when he first entered vanished completely, and everyone started to comfort him.

"Comrade Zhou Chuan, try to think more positively. Actually, Commander Xiao isn't that unreasonable. As long as you don't make any mistakes, he's usually quite easy to talk to."

After this woman finished speaking, there was a moment of silence. Wasn't this a bit unreasonable? How could she even say something like that?

The woman probably realized she had said the wrong thing, gave an embarrassed smile, and said nothing more.

Zhou Chuan sighed: "Don't try to comfort me. That Commander Xiao said to my face that I deserved to end up like this. Do you think that's human? How can a woman like me fight against their whole family? Even if I wanted to fight back, I would need strength."

"It's hateful that my mother remarried and abandoned me. My grandmother hates my mother for causing my father's death and won't let my uncles and elders in the family support me. You have no idea how hard my life has been. Commander Xiao doesn't know anything about the situation and just says I deserve it!"

"Oh, he also said he doesn't like gossipy women and forbids me from talking about his family. He said if I don't obey, I can't bear the consequences. I just arrived and don't know if what he said is true. You've been here longer, so you should know what kind of person Commander Xiao is."

"Ladies, please give me some advice. I asked around yesterday, and everyone said that Commander Xiao is difficult to get along with. But no one has explained exactly why he's difficult to get along with. Please tell me so I can have a better understanding."

Zhou Chuan looked at the women present with a pleading expression. The women, who had been so enthusiastic just moments before, suddenly fell silent. Goodness, they didn't dare to say anything. If he found out, he might come to their house and beat them up.

"Comrade Zhou Chuan, don't worry, you'll understand in time. Well, I have some things to take care of at home, so I have to go back."

"My vegetable garden hasn't been tended yet, I need to go back and do it."

"Oh no, I have a bunch of dirty clothes that I haven't washed yet, I have to go back and wash them."

In no time at all, they were all gone.

After walking a distance from Zhou Chuan's house, everyone felt sorry for him.

"Why did she go to Commander Xiao's house? Commander Xiao's temperament... tsk tsk."

"Sigh, I guess there's nothing we can do. We saw Liu Cuilan's attitude yesterday; she really wouldn't give us a single penny..."

"Hmph, I've never seen anyone like her. So many divorced men in our military region have remarried, and they all gave her something, more or less. There isn't a single one like her who doesn't give a penny. She's utterly despicable. Be careful she doesn't give birth to a girl this time."

"What can you do if Battalion Commander Sun likes her? A woman has to win a man's heart. If you win his heart, no matter how much trouble you cause, he will still pamper you."

Soon, they shifted the topic from Zhou Chuan to how to win a man's heart, and the discussion became quite heated.

After cleaning up, Zhou Chuan went to Commander Xiao's house to retrieve the bedding he had been promised. He had given her the house key yesterday, and on the surface, he seemed to trust her completely.

She assumed no one was home. She heard that the younger girl was being looked after by his comrade's wife, the older one had to go to school, and Commander Xiao had to go to training, so there shouldn't be anyone at home.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to move her things to avoid embarrassment later. Besides, she couldn't sleep without bedding anyway.
