Transmigrated into a child bride, she punishes scumbags, raises children, and marries a soldier.
Chapter 43 Getting ready to leave
Zhou Chuan didn't have time to think wildly and hurried back to her lodgings. She had to return the bedding roll, and after that, she had to walk to the nearby town before dawn. The journey from the military region to the town was not short, so she had to hurry.
The footsteps outside gradually faded into the distance until they could no longer be heard...
Xiao Ran realized that his father had driven away the only nanny who was kind to him, and that no one would ever bring him food again. The thought of having to endure hunger again made Xiao Ran cry uncontrollably.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, and he couldn't help but kick Commander Xiao: "Waaah, it's all your fault! You made her leave! Waaah, now no one will take care of me! Waaah..."
Xiao Beichen silently touched his son's little feet: "Don't cry!"
Xiao Ran squinted at Commander Xiao through her tear-filled eyes and said, "You're not my father. You've never cared about me since I was little, sob sob..." After saying that, she ran upstairs crying.
Watching his son's hurried upstairs, Xiao Beichen scratched his head in frustration. After a while, he gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and ran out after him. Then, the sound of a car starting up echoed in front of the Xiao family's house, and soon, the area in front of the Xiao family's house returned to silence.
It was June, and the sun was blazing outside. Zhou Chuan walked back quickly, covered in sweat. She first went to the well to fetch water and washed her face to cool off. Feeling a little better, she immediately started packing. The Lin family didn't have much stuff, just a bedding roll, which she rolled up and carried away.
On the way, she ran into some older women from the family compound. Sensing something was amiss, they curiously inquired. Zhou Chuan thought to herself, "She and that Xiao guy have already fallen so far, she's about to be kicked out, why should I care?" So she just told them what she knew.
"Commander Xiao told me to get out of here right now!"
"I can't stay any longer, I'm returning my bedding and leaving right now!"
"Hey, why didn't you guys warn me before? If I had known he was like this, I wouldn't have gone to his house and made a mess of things. Oh well, I guess I'm just unlucky. I have to go return my bedding now. Once I've returned it, I'm leaving. What a lousy place this is! I'm not staying here anymore. There's not a single good person here. Heh, I wasn't talking about you guys. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
She encountered many people along the way, and whenever someone asked, Zhou Chuan would recite the above words. The last part was intentional; seeing that they were embarrassed and silent, she picked up her bedding and left.
Hearing Zhou Chuan's seemingly complaining words, everyone looked a little guilty. It wasn't that they didn't want to help her, but Commander Xiao's temper was just too awful; he'd driven away countless nannies. They were in a difficult position too; their husbands were soldiers under his command. If they dared to say anything out of line, Commander Xiao would really come knocking on their door. That sharp-tongued man didn't care whether you were male or female; they didn't dare.
Then she thought of Zhou Chuan's experience. He could only accept being scolded by her. It seemed that they hadn't acted properly in the matter of Commander Xiao.
However, once Zhou Chuan was out of sight, they quickly forgot about the snacks and began enthusiastically discussing the Xiao family's gossip.
"Working at Commander Xiao's house isn't easy. They've gone through several nannies before, the longest lasting only a month. Now it's Comrade Zhou Chuan's turn, and he couldn't even last three days. Tsk tsk, I think his family might not be able to find a nanny in the future."
"Given Commander Xiao's temperament, he'll scold anyone, no matter who it is. The nanny is a person too, and a woman at that. Who can stand being constantly scolded like that?"
"Comrade Zhou Chuan is truly pitiful. She's probably been tricked by Political Commissar Ma this time. Battalion Commander Sun is Political Commissar Ma's soldier, and he's protecting his own, so he tricked Comrade Zhou Chuan to vent his anger on behalf of his subordinates. How despicable..."
The family compound was small, and in no time, everyone there knew that Zhou Chuan had been driven away by Commander Xiao. So, those who were close to him gathered in twos and threes to discuss Zhou Chuan's situation.
Since Zhou Chuan's outburst at Battalion Commander Sun's house, nothing major had happened in the family compound for several days. Now, with this incident, they have a new topic of conversation, and the family compound is as lively as if it were Chinese New Year.
Just as Zhou Chuan was halfway there with his bedding roll, he ran into Commander Xiao and Political Commissar Ma. Zhou Chuan, too lazy to listen to Political Commissar Ma's nonsense, spoke up first: "You've come at the right time, I can return your bedding roll to you!"
As he spoke, Zhou Chuan shoved the bedding roll into Xiao Beichen's arms. "Don't complain that I didn't wash it properly before returning it. It was already dirty when I went to your house to get it!"
After explaining everything, Zhou Chuan turned and left, not wanting to waste any more breath on them. Why bother with people he wouldn't be dealing with again?
