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

Seeing Zhou Chuan standing there dumbfounded, and then looking at the thin, dark-skinned boy standing next to her, they couldn't help but admire Comrade Zhou's kindness. The boy's father had treated her so badly, yet Comrade Zhou didn't hold a grudge and even thought of helping his son get meat to eat. She was truly kind.

"This child is so thin, he really needs to eat something good, otherwise he won't grow any taller."

"If Commander Xiao is willing, go to the next village to buy it. Pork is unavailable now, but we can buy chicken. If chicken is too expensive, eggs are fine too. We can't let the children suffer."

Zhou Chuan didn't know there was a village nearby, so he asked around a bit.

"It's very close. Just turn left after you go out the gate and walk for about two miles."

"But you'd better not go alone. The villagers in that village like to rip people off. If you go alone and get ripped off, you'll have no one to complain to."

Zhou Chuan asked in surprise: "They even dare to bully people in the military?"

"Are you stupid? They're targeting us. Nobody goes there. They can't even scam anyone if they want to."

"The main problem is that if you go alone and get scammed, there's no one to testify, so you can only suffer in silence. The military doesn't dare to confront the locals directly anymore. Things are different now; everything requires evidence."

Zhou Chuan nodded: "Besides the next village, where else can we buy things?"

"There's a town and a county seat, but they're both quite far. To get to the town, you can take a horse-drawn carriage from the next village, but to get to the county seat, you can only take a supply vehicle from the military, but you have to wait in line."

"However, the residential compound over there is different from ours; they can borrow cars there..."

Zhou Chuan recalled the Jeep that Commander Xiao had bought from Mi Kai last time and nodded knowingly: "It's still good to be a high-ranking official."

Several people listened and wholeheartedly agreed: "Absolutely!"

The group chatted and talked, and time flew by. Soon it was time to get the food. Zhou Chuan and the others were at the front of the line and got their food in no time. As mentioned before, it was all vegetarian. She looked at all the dishes and there wasn't a single meat dish, not even a small piece of meat.

After Zhou Chuan took Xiao Ran home, he couldn't help but ask, "Did Aunt Tian ever serve you meat when she brought you meals before? It was all vegetables for dinner, not to mention, did she ever serve you meat for lunch?"

She was afraid that she had misunderstood the revolutionary elder sister before. Although, judging from her behavior yesterday, the possibility was extremely low, she still wanted to find out.

Xiao Ran shook his head without even thinking.

Zhou Chuan persisted: "Not even once? Think about it again. I'm afraid I've misunderstood a good person, and my conscience won't allow it."

Xiao Ran thought about it again, but still firmly shook his head.

Zhou Chuan was relieved. That guy really was a scoundrel. She ruffled his hair and said, "Alright, eat your food. Auntie will take you to buy chicken tomorrow."

After leaving the Xiao family's gate, they prepared to go back.

"Girl! Girl!"

Zhou Chuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a person dart out from the vegetable rack in the neighboring yard. Without even thinking, she knew who it was.

"Hey lady, what are you doing squatting behind the shelf?"

Li Dazui grinned: "I'm squatting here pulling weeds. Hey, what did Political Commissar Ma want to talk to you about at noon?"

Zhou Chuan casually said, "Isn't it because Commander Xiao is away on a mission? He was worried and took some time to come and check on things."

Li Dazui laughed: "So that's how it is..."

Zhou Chuan, thinking about the neighboring village he was going to visit the next day, asked a question: This Li Dazui has such a great reputation, he must know a lot of details.

Li Dazui immediately ran excitedly to the fence: "You want to buy chickens? Oh, come to me if you want to buy chickens! I have chickens at home. How many do you want? Roosters or hens? Do you want eggs? I still have eggs at home. How many do you want?"

Zhou Chuan was a little confused: "Why are you selling chickens now?" She had learned some things over the past few days. The army was allowed to raise chickens, but only two or three at a time, and no more.

This is actually easy to understand. If everyone were to raise chickens in the open like in the countryside, wouldn't the residential compound become just like a chicken farm?

Li Dazui raised his eyebrows smugly: "This is one of a kind."

Zhou Chuan walked over curiously: "Didn't they say you can only keep a maximum of three?" Could it be that Li Dazui has some kind of special privilege?

Li Dazui deliberately shook his head and remained silent, keeping everyone in suspense.

Seeing her like that, Zhou Chuan flattered her a couple of times: "Big sister, you're so capable. Just tell me what you're doing. If it doesn't follow the rules, I can't buy it even if I want to, right?"

Li Dazui was not angry at all, but became even more smug: "Haha, how is it against the rules? My division commander gave me special permission. Others can raise three, but I can raise ten."

Zhou Chuan didn't believe it: "Impossible? Could it be that you've got something on him?" That's quite possible. With Li Dazui's big mouth, he might have overheard something that others don't know.

Sister Li waved her hand and said, "What? How could I, Li Dazui, do such a despicable thing?" Then, realizing she was wrong, she quickly changed her words, "Pah! I, Li Guihua, am not that kind of person."

"Let me be frank with you. I was pregnant in the first half of the year, and I was worried that I wouldn't have enough breast milk during my postpartum period, so I specially asked my teacher to give me a note. But who knew I had so much breast milk that I didn't need to kill a chicken at all. That's how I've been raising this baby until now."

Zhou Chuan stared at Li Dazui, finding it hard to believe: "Hey lady, are you just making this up to cover for your man?" Li Dazui looked to be at least forty. Forty and still having a child? You must be joking.

Li Dazui glared at Zhou Chuan with feigned anger: "Do you think I'm easy to bully? If my husband causes any trouble, I'll tear him apart!"

Zhou Chuan was still a little skeptical: "Why didn't I hear your child crying? You're not just trying to fool the commander by raising more chickens, are you?"

Seeing that Zhou Chuan still didn't believe him, Li Dazui said, "Wait here, I'll bring it to you to see." He turned around and went into the house, and soon came out carrying a swaddled baby.

Looking at the baby in the swaddling clothes, Zhou Chuan was completely convinced: "My God, it really is! The baby looks quite well-behaved and doesn't fuss at all."

Li Dazui grinned and said, "My Erbazi is so well-behaved."

"Erba Zi?" Zhou Chuan pondered the name, feeling sorry for the baby. What kind of name was that?

Li Dazui teased the child, laughing from ear to ear: "His father named him that. His father's nickname is Shunzi, and he said that Erbazi would be better. I just went with him."

After playing with the child for a while, Li Dazui took the child back home. Once outside, he started talking to Zhou Chuan about chickens again: "So? How many chickens do you want?"

Zhou Chuan thought that the source of the money was legitimate, and it didn't matter whose it was, so he asked about the price: "How much do you want? Let me make it clear first, I'm not buying it for myself, I'm buying it for Xiao Ran. I got some money yesterday, and the child is too thin, so I was thinking of buying him two chickens to help him get better. If it's too expensive here, people will say that we're ganging up on someone else's child."

Li Dazui nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I may be a bit of a chatterbox, but I'm not like some people who have bad intentions. The price I'm giving you is absolutely honest. Do you want a hen or a rooster? How many do you want? If you have more, I'll give you a discount."

Seeing her so enthusiastic, Zhou Chuan was unsure: "Sister, why are you in such a hurry to sell? Is your chicken sick?" The water in this residential compound is too murky.

Li Dazui kept denying it: "What nonsense are you talking about? My chickens are fine. My chickens are raised together with the chickens in the army. If something happens to my chickens, the chickens in the army won't be able to escape either."

Zhou Chuan dared not buy any more and turned to leave, saying, "Oh, sister, I'd rather go to the next village. You're making me uneasy." She had only been here for a few days and knew a lot about things. If she got ripped off, she would just have to accept her bad luck.

Seeing Zhou Chuan about to leave, Li Dazui panicked: "Hey, don't be in such a hurry to leave! Fine, I'll tell you the truth. My chickens—well, the army won't let me raise them anymore. I can't bear to kill them all at once. So, how about you take a few?"

In the end, Zhou Chuan didn't buy Li Dazui's chicken. The seller was too enthusiastic, which made her uneasy. Even if her reasons were plausible, Zhou Chuan didn't dare to make a move easily. She needed to find out more details before making a decision.
