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

Before Sister Tian could finish speaking, Zhou Chuan saw Commander Xiao, who was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, stumble into the room. He didn't even glance at Zhou Chuan and went straight for the little guy.

Zhou Chuan saw that Commander Xiao, who was in a great loss of composure, was holding the little guy tightly and crying so hard he could barely breathe.

When Sister Tian came in next, she saw Xiao Beichen crying so miserably, and her gaze towards Zhou Chuan became somewhat unpleasant. Seeing Zhou Chuan's mocking expression as he watched, she couldn't help but complain, "Comrade Zhou, you've gone too far today!"

"Yes, Bei Chen has a bad temper, but haven't we all tried to make amends? We've taken you to the doctor, fed you, and even tried to comfort you. But what have you done? You've incited a child, Ranran, who is so young and doesn't understand anything. You've told him how bad his stepmother is and made him beg for food with you. Don't you think that's going too far?"

Zhou Chuan didn't take Sister Tian seriously at all, and rolled his eyes at her: "Did I say I was the stepmother? Wasn't it you who arranged it? You all heard it outside just now, Xiao Ran himself admitted that his father is already looking for a new wife. What, your army dares to do it but not admit it? You want to pin all the blame on me? Do I look like a sucker?"

"What a load of rubbish! He's his own son, yet he treats him worse than a stepfather's son, and he still has the nerve to criticize me? If I were him, I would have killed myself by now. Even if other kids were begging, they wouldn't want to follow him. What does that tell you? It means that begging is better than having his own father! And he wants to be an officer? He should learn to be a decent human being first!"

Sister Tian knew that Zhou Chuan had a point, but she was still furious: "It's easy for you to talk like that! Bei Chen is fighting all year round. He might fall on the battlefield one day and never come back. Would he dare to bring the child with him? Now that the situation is better, he immediately brought the child over. Isn't that enough?"

"You don't understand anything, yet you're spouting nonsense and ruining the relationship between a father and son. I've helped you with everything from start to finish, and this is how you repay me?"

Zhou Chuan glanced at Xiao Beichen's back and snorted: "If you know you might die, don't have children casually. If you do, you have to make proper arrangements for them."

"Even if things weren't arranged well before, we have to make up for it a hundredfold or a thousandfold now. Look how thin the little guy is. Can you honestly say that he's receiving good care?"

Sister Tian retorted, "Then why are you bringing up stepmothers? Huh? Who said stepmothers are necessarily bad? How do you expect the child to feel if you talk to him like that? If he doesn't marry a new wife, is he supposed to live a lonely life forever? He's already suffered enough in the past few decades, with all sorts of injuries. Now that he's finally able to have a better life, how can we just stand by and watch him suffer?"

“How many good stepmothers are there? Tell me, give me an example. Have you ever seen a good stepmother? Anyway, there isn’t a single good stepmother in our village.”

Zhou Chuan retorted directly, saying that in her own life, she had lived for so long and had never met many good stepmothers. Those with a conscience at most didn't mistreat her, but none of them truly treated her like their own child.

Sister Tian really wanted to give a compelling example that could slap Zhou Chuan in the face right then and there, but she couldn't come up with one no matter how hard she racked her brains.

Seeing Tian Dajia's uncertain expression, Zhou Chuan couldn't help but sneer: "Tch, no, can't think of anything? I told you there's nothing, but you still wouldn't believe me! What mother would neglect her own child to love someone else's?"

Faced with this situation, Sister Tian could not back down. Years of experience in struggle told her that the more difficult the situation, the less she could back down. In the end, she searched through her memories for a long time and finally found a stepmother who was barely acceptable.

Sister Tian was confident, and her voice became much louder: "Of course we have some! We have some in our military region. The wife of the Second Regiment Commander is a stepmother, but now she's brought the Second Regiment Commander's son from the countryside here, and he's eating and drinking well every day!"

“You haven’t seen enough of the world. Stepmothers mistreating their stepsons is something that only happened in the old society. Now it’s a new society, and those things you’re talking about are long gone. Besides, we’re here. If there really is a heartless stepmother mistreating the children of the first wife, can we just stand by and do nothing?”

Zhou Chuan scoffed: "What does that prove? That child was originally the Second Regiment Commander's son. Isn't it only natural for a father to raise his own child? How come it's the Second Regiment Commander's merit to take his son in? Are all the men in your army such cowards that they need their stepmother's permission to raise their own sons?"

Sister Tian's face flushed red and then turned pale: "You, don't talk nonsense if you don't know the situation. Our army is different from your countryside. Country people are shameless and brazen. They mistreat children for a pittance, and the villagers don't bother to care."

“In the military family compound, if a stepmother dares to mistreat a child, with so many eyes watching, she wouldn’t dare. If we find out that she secretly abuses a child, the organization will come after her and educate her. So what you’re saying is simply impossible.”

When the topic turned to organization, Sister Tian immediately became confident and composed, saying that everything was well-organized.

Hearing Sister Tian's confident assertions, Zhou Chuan jumped out of bed in anger: "I can't stand it anymore! How can you be so hypocritical! You're busy with your own family, so you say you can't take care of other people's children. What's the point of saying so many nice things? You say one thing and do another. Are you treating people like fools?"

"Take Xiao Ran for example. He's been here from the countryside for a few months now. Have you been keeping an eye on him? If you really were, would a country nanny dare to bully a child from a military compound?"

"I don't know why we changed so many nannies before, but I guess that besides Commander Xiao's bad temper, harsh words, and stinginess, they also felt that Xiao Ran was unattended, which is why they were so blatant. This matter is easy to handle. You just need to come and visit more often and keep an eye on things. But have you actually kept an eye on things?"

"You can't even keep a close eye on a child, are you going to wait until the child has a stepmother before you start watching over him? That would be ridiculous. A bunch of old women with nothing better to do all day, spying on young wives' private affairs... Tsk tsk tsk, are you planning to completely abandon your dignity?"

Sister Tian trembled with anger: "You, you, you," she said, her unsteady stance startling the child in her arms into whimpering.

However, she couldn't bother comforting the child at that moment. She leaned against the wall to steady herself and tightened her grip on the child to prevent him from falling to the ground.

Zhou Chuan didn't like any of the people here. They were all hypocrites, full of empty words but none of them did anything worthwhile. If they had put in even a little effort, the little guy wouldn't be starving.

"What's wrong with me? Only an outsider like me can see your ugly faces! The two little ones are so pitiful, and you don't care about them at all. All you know is how to arrange a wife for the old man. He's such a grown man, if he really wanted to find a woman, would he need you to worry about him? Even if you do worry, you're not his biological mother. Do you think he'll listen to you? You've lived such a long life in vain, and you still..."

"Stop talking, all of you stop talking, all of you shut the fuck up!"

Zhou Chuan was in the middle of her rant and wanted to continue, but a sudden roar interrupted her. She saw that the veins near Commander Xiao's temples were bulging, and after thinking about it, she decided not to say anything more.

Sister Tian was already so angry with Zhou Chuan that she could barely stand. She had to lean against the wall to avoid falling. Now, after hearing Xiao Beichen's shouting, she was both guilty and weak. Her physical strength prevented her from speaking, so the ward fell completely silent.

Xiao Beichen closed his eyes, took several deep breaths, and then opened them again. He looked at Sister Tian and said, "Sister, this is how my life is. You don't need to keep an eye on things for me anymore. I have a son and a daughter, and I haven't lost anything in this life."

Sister Tian wanted to persuade him further: "Bei Chen, you have a long life ahead of you, you should take another step forward..."

Xiao Beichen shook his head: "Big sister, don't try to persuade me anymore. My mind is made up. I owe Yingzi and Ranran a lot before, and I will make up for it slowly and doubly in the future."

Speaking of making amends, Xiao Beichen still felt a lingering fear. He almost lost his son today. Xiao Beichen pursed his lips, looked down at his son who only reached his thigh, and carefully touched his son's head. Well, compared to those who died on the way, he was already very fortunate.

Seeing the doting look in Xiao Beichen's eyes, Sister Tian didn't say anything more. At this point, no matter what she said, Xiao Beichen probably wouldn't listen.

Zhou Chuan calmed down and climbed back onto the hospital bed. She had done everything she could to help; the rest was up to the little one.

As for what Commander Xiao said about never getting married in his life, she didn't believe it. It wasn't that she didn't believe him, but she felt that if there were enthusiastic matchmakers like Sister Tian in the army, his insistence might not be able to continue.

Zhou Chuan's movements woke Xiao Beichen. He held his son tightly with one arm and looked at Zhou Chuan with a slightly complicated expression: "Thank you, Comrade Zhou Chuan. If it weren't for you, I, as his father, wouldn't have discovered many things."

Zhou Chuan waved his hand at him: "Forget it, I can't accept your thanks. Just take good care of Xiao Ran from now on. Even if you marry a new wife, don't forget that you still have an older son."

Xiao Beichen first glanced down at his son nervously, but seeing nothing amiss, he replied to Zhou Chuan with some displeasure, "Comrade Zhou Chuan, I will not remarry, so you don't need to say that."

“I heard you’re not even forty yet, you still have decades to live, don’t be so sure of yourself.” Zhou Chuan finished speaking and then smiled at Xiao Ran, “It’s okay, whether your father gets married or not, you can just stick with him.”

Xiao Ran hadn't cried before, but now, listening to Zhou Chuan's words, she started wiping away tears.

Xiao Beichen frowned and glanced at Zhou Chuan, then stopped explaining. With a sullen face, he silently walked up to Sister Tian, ​​took the daughter from her arms, and then left with his son.

After the father and his two sons left, only Sister Tian and Zhou Chuan remained in the room. Sister Tian felt deeply hurt after what had just happened, and without saying a word to Zhou Chuan, she also left.

Zhou Chuan was left alone in the ward. She was happy to have some peace and quiet. She had just had a big argument, which had used up a lot of energy. She thought of it as digestion. Now, lying in bed, she felt a little drowsy.

Xiao Beichen held his son's hand tightly the whole way home. When they got home, he didn't let go. He carried the baby in one arm and took his son upstairs with the other. After putting his daughter in the cradle, he took his son to his room.

The father and son sat facing each other.

Xiao Beichen didn't know where to begin. To be honest, he had spent very little time with Chuanzi. When Xiao Ran was born, they had to make a strategic retreat. The situation was urgent, and it was impossible to take the child with them. They entrusted their son to a fellow villager, and that was for more than five years.

Later, it was his comrades who fought back and helped find Xiao Ran. But at that time, he and his mother were separated. He was on the front line, and his mother was on a secret mission. They didn't even know where he was. He had no choice but to ask someone to send his son back to his hometown. After that, another five or six years passed.

He wanted to bring his child over last year when the new military region was completed. If he had brought him then, he could have seen his mother one last time...

As Xiao Beichen recalled this, he looked at his son and felt uneasy. Afraid that his son would see him lose his composure, he stood up and paced around the room to calm himself down.

Xiao Ran sat silently on the edge of the bed.

After a while, Xiao Beichen, having calmed down, sat down in front of his son again.

"Son, I'm so sorry. I've been so busy with work and neglected you all..."

Just as Commander Xiao was having a heart-to-heart talk with his son, someone else came to Zhou Chuan's ward.
