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

Zhou Chuan, having eaten and drunk his fill, leaned back comfortably on the headboard: "Oh, Commander Xiao, you've come to offer your condolences?"

Hearing the noise at the door, Sister Tian turned around, saw who it was, and stood up to take the child from Xiao Beichen's arms: "Why did you bring the child here? Mianmian, do you still recognize your aunt?"

Commander Xiao grinned at Zhou Chuan, forcing a tiny smile: "I made you some porridge." He then nudged his son with his leg, "Hurry up and take the millet porridge over there. You've been urging me to come over, haven't you? Go now." Xiao Ran shrank behind Commander Xiao, cautiously watching Zhou Chuan.

Zhou Chuan pointed to the empty lunchbox on the table: "How could I, a mere child bride of an old subordinate, dare to rely on you, Commander Xiao? Sister Tian is kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see me like this, so she got me food a long time ago. Otherwise, with my health, I might already be barely breathing and ready to report to Buddha at any moment. Sigh, my fate... sigh..." Zhou Chuan rubbed his slightly full belly and sighed comfortably.

Hearing this, Sister Tian also sighed, "Never mind, she's already eaten, so just leave her alone. What about you three? Have you all eaten?" Seeing that Xiao Beichen was feeling uncomfortable, Sister Tian changed the subject for him.

This woman's heart is truly vast; for her man, for her children, for her family, she can endure any hardship and suffer any torment.

But if anyone offends her, her heart is smaller than a pinhead; she can remember even the smallest thing for a lifetime.

As she spoke, she walked up to Xiao Ran and touched his little face, "Ranran, have you eaten?"

Seeing that he was still as thin as before, Sister Tian said to Xiao Beichen a few more times, "Beichen, why is your Xiao Ran still so thin? Ranran, remember to eat. Don't always run out to play and forget about mealtimes."

"Oh, big sister, you're wrong about that. Little Xiao Ran doesn't go out to play at all. He stays home every day guarding the food, counting every grain of rice before putting it in the pot for each of his three meals. He doesn't dare to eat a single extra grain." Zhou Chuan interjected. Didn't she dislike his gossip? Well, she'd let him gossip. Let's see what he can do to her.

Xiao Beichen's eyes flickered, his chest heaving slightly. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't. What they said was true; how could he explain? If anyone was to blame, it was him, the father, for being too careless and giving them leverage.

Sister Tian got angry as soon as she heard this. Holding the little girl in one arm, she punched Xiao Beichen with the other: "I was wondering why Ranran hasn't gained weight in half a year? It turns out you forgot to buy rice."

“You’re an adult, you have to eat when you’re hungry. He’s a little kid, he doesn’t know anyone here, he has to rely on you for everything. Why don’t you care about him?”

Sister Tian gave Xiao Beichen a good beating, then turned to look at Xiao Ran, who looked thinner and thinner: "You're hungry, why don't you ask your aunt? If your aunt knew, would she still care about you?"

Xiao Ran lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing the little guy's cowardly appearance, Zhou Chuan kept shaking his head: "Big sister, don't make things difficult for him. His own father is like that, how can a little kid rely on an outsider like you? Don't let him come to you for a couple of days to fill his stomach, only to be thrown back to the countryside by his father, where he won't even be able to keep the few grains of rice he has now."

Xiao Ran suddenly looked up at Zhou Chuan, then quickly looked down again.

Xiao Beichen also saw this scene. His lips trembled, and he felt as if his heart had been squeezed, causing him excruciating pain. Afraid of losing his composure, he turned to face the wall, but his slightly trembling shoulders still revealed something unusual.

Sister Tian's nose tingled and her eyes reddened. She put her arm around Xiao Chuan's small shoulder and said, "Next time you're hungry, just come to my house. I may lack many things, but I never lack food. Remember that?"

Xiao Ran kept his head down and remained silent.

Zhou Chuan was unaffected by the sadness in the room. Leaning against the headboard, she remained leisurely and said, "Silly boy, hurry up and nod. It's a waste not to eat. Every meal we eat is a bonus."

Xiao Ran glanced at Zhou Chuan and nodded obediently.

After Zhou Chuan's outburst, Sister Tian was no longer as sad as before. She said to Zhou Chuan with emotion, "This child really likes you. He listens to everything you say."

“It’s because we’re both unlucky. Look at his small frame, and then look at mine. It’s the same whether he has a father or not. My father died and I’m completely fatherless. We hit it off the moment we met.” Zhou Chuan looked at Xiao Ran with the air of someone looking at a close friend despite the age gap.

Xiao Ran silently walked up to Zhou Chuan and handed him the lunchbox: "I, I didn't mean to leave you without food. There's not much rice left. I just, I wanted to eat with you... I'm sorry." He lowered his head again after saying that. He didn't mean to starve her. He really didn't.

Zhou Chuan was initially a little angry with him, but now that she was full and satisfied, she wasn't as angry as before. Why be angry with a child? If anyone should be angry, it should be his father, the culprit.

She pushed the lunchbox back, saying, "Eat it yourself. I know you haven't eaten."

When Sister Tian saw that Xiao Ran was indeed eating porridge obediently, she understood immediately that Xiao Ran really hadn't eaten. She angrily walked over with the little girl in her arms and dragged Xiao Beichen, who had his back to them, out of the ward.

Zhou Chuan watched them leave, pursed his lips, and didn't say anything. Hmph, what's there to be wary of her about? If she's wary, doesn't she know?
