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

"Big sister, Sister Li, are you home?"

Zhou Chuan and Xiao Ran had been searching for food for the chickens for two days. It was summer, and there was plenty of food to be found in the fields, but there were also many people searching for it.

These days, everyone is poor, and no one can feed chickens what people eat. So, she thought of asking Li Dazui for some vegetable seeds. Since the Xiao family's yard was just sitting empty anyway, she might as well make use of the waste and grow some vegetables. If they couldn't finish them, she could feed the chickens. It would kill two birds with one stone.

Li Dazui opened the door: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Chuan walked to the fence: "Big sister, why haven't you been pulling weeds these past two days? I've been looking for you but haven't been able to find you."

Li Dazui stood still: "What do you want from me? Hey girl, I really didn't make any money from those chickens. Think about it, where can you find chickens that are worth more than a dollar?"

So that's why he was avoiding her: "Sister, we have to speak from the heart. Those chickens of yours, feathers and blood still attached, only weigh a little over two pounds. How much do you want? Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. After all, we've known each other for a while, so I'll just swallow this bitter pill."

Hearing this, Li Dazui walked to the fence with a smile: "It's not that you're heartless, I just haven't made any money. What do you need me for? I'll definitely help if I can."

Zhou Chuan explained his purpose: "What kind of rapeseed do you have at home? If you have a lot, give me some of it."

Li Dazui was somewhat moved: "You're too kind-hearted. Not only did you help that kid get his meal money back, but you also bought him chickens. Now you're even helping him with his vegetable garden. What are you after? Sister, listen to your older sister's advice, don't do this. It's not worth it. It's not that I'm stingy with the vegetable seeds, it's just that you and your group are working for free and getting nothing in return."

Zhou Chuan felt a warmth in his heart seeing how considerate Li Dazui was of her. However, looking at Sister Li's conflicted expression, he couldn't tell whether she was reluctant to part with the rapeseed or genuinely cared for her.

"I'm just free, and the army provides me with food and drink. How can I just eat and drink for free? Am I that kind of person? I have to think about helping out in some way. It just so happens that I have a connection with Commander Xiao's son, so I thought I'd give him a hand and consider it payment for the army's meals."

She really had nothing to do, so keeping herself busy every day made her life quite fulfilling.

Li Dazui thought about it and didn't try to persuade him anymore: "You're just too kind-hearted. You wait here, I still have some vegetable seeds left over, and I also have cucumber seeds saved from last year. I'll get them for you right away." After saying that, he turned around and went home to get the vegetable seeds.

Zhou Chuan now realized that the other person had genuinely meant well for her, so he felt a surge of gratitude as he watched her retreating figure.

A moment later, Li Dazui came out with a small cloth bag: "Here are cabbages, radishes, bok choy, and chili peppers... I think you should plant some rapeseed first. It grows quickly and you can eat it in ten days to half a month."

Zhou Chuan took the cloth bag from Li Dazui and kept praising, "Big sister, you are so meticulous, making such small packets. No wonder the vegetable garden is so well-maintained; it all started from the seeds."

Li Dazui grinned widely: "What's so special about this? If we farmers can't even properly manage a rapeseed, wouldn't we be a laughingstock?"

Zhou Chuan shook his head repeatedly: "I'm also from the countryside. People from my area aren't as meticulous as you, big sister. Look at these grains, they all look like they were picked out, so plump."

Li Dazui chuckled: "Hey, you figured it out! Hehe, I was just picking it out at home during the off-season when I had nothing to do. I spent more than half a month looking at it. You have a good eye, girl, you recognized it right away."

Zhou Chuan couldn't find any more words to praise her, so he prepared to get to work: "Big sister, time waits for no one, I'll start working now."

Li Dazui blatantly sized up Zhou Chuan's small frame: "Since you're just idling around anyway, I'll help you with the work."

Zhou Chuan was genuinely surprised, but she still declined, saying, "No need, no need. This yard isn't big, at most one and a half fen of land. I can finish it in a couple more days. You still have to take care of your Erbazi, so I won't trouble you."

Li Dazui frowned and said, "You think you can do good deeds all by yourself? Alright, stop talking. I'm going back to the house to get a hoe. We can finish it quickly together. Wait for me."

Zhou Chuan looked at the rapeseed in his hand, then glanced at Li Dazui's house next door. She really was a cheerful and kind older sister. No matter what, having someone to help would make things easier.

She placed the rapeseed on the threshold, turned around and went into the Xiao family's house to find a hoe. Although the Xiao family's yard was bare, they had all the farming tools they needed. The yard was also paved with bricks to form the beginnings of a vegetable garden. It was likely that when Commander Xiao first moved in, he had his eye on the small plot of land in the yard.

I must say, working together is definitely more energetic than working alone.

"Oh dear! There are earthworms down there. Quickly, let Xiao Ran grab something to put them in; they'll be great for feeding the chickens later."

"Never mind, the child is taking a nap. I'll go in and find a jar," Zhou Chuan turned around and went to the kitchen to find a small earthenware jar. "I'll share half with you later."

"No need, my chickens don't need that much food."

"Big sister, please don't refuse. I know you're helping me today. I'm just an outsider and I don't have much say in other things, but I can make the decision about a few earthworms. Please accept them."

"Since you've said so, it would be disrespectful of you if I didn't accept it. Okay, I'll take it. To be honest, I only came to lend a hand because of you."

“I know, if it weren’t for the child being pitiful, given his father’s character, I would rather be idle than come to his house to work for free.”

"You're telling the truth. It's not just you; even we neighbors can't stand him. He'll curse anyone he doesn't like. Being cursed is the least of it; he's even kicked some young girls before. You don't know, he kicked one so hard she couldn't get up..."

Zhou Chuan grabbed Li Dazui, who was talking enthusiastically, and said, "Hey, hey, you can't do that. Kicking someone in the family compound? And kicking a young girl no less? Would a military officer dare to do that?"

“I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false?” Li Dazui looked around, especially at the head of the Xiao family, then leaned close to Zhou Chuan and said, “I’m telling you, but you can’t tell anyone else.”

Zhou Chuan quickly swore and assured him, "I only know you in the whole compound, and I have no one else to talk to. You can rest assured. Tell me what happened right now."

Li Dazui thought about it and agreed, so he moved closer to Zhou Chuan and said, "Actually, this matter can't be entirely blamed on Commander Xiao. It's mainly because that girl is shameless. Of all the people she could like, she had to like Commander Xiao."

"Commander Xiao got married, and his wife is heavily pregnant. She goes to his house every few days to cause trouble, talking about freedom of love and freedom of marriage. She's clinging to Commander Xiao on one hand, and on the other hand, she's demanding that his wife give up her place... Oh my, you haven't seen that shameless attitude, tsk tsk..."

Even now, Li Dazui still finds it disgusting when he thinks back on it. "That girl was always causing trouble. Even her own parents couldn't stand it anymore. They called her shameless. During that period, our family compound was in complete chaos, not a single day was peaceful. Later, I guess Commander Xiao couldn't take it anymore and just kicked her in front of a lot of people..."

Zhou Chuan thought about Commander Xiao's temper, and realized that he was indeed capable of doing such a thing: "I guess it's not that he can't stand it himself, but that his wife is driving him crazy. Didn't you say before that Commander Xiao's wife likes to dress up in a flamboyant way? It's probably because of this, don't you think?"

Li Dazui recalled for a while: "You know what, it's really possible. Actually, Commander Xiao's wife isn't ugly. She's fair-skinned, with an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and big, bright eyes. In every way, she's just as good as that young girl. But she can't compare to her in one thing: she's younger. Back then, quite a few people in our compound had changed to younger wives... Oh dear, this compound was in a real mess, a real mess!"

Zhou Chuan nodded in agreement: "The higher-ups did it this way, and the lower-ups followed suit. Anyone who had the means to change wives did so. I was changed too. Only my eldest sister was lucky..."
