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

During dinner that evening, Zhou Chuan casually mentioned to Nurse Liu that she was leaving. It was fine if others didn't tell her, but Nurse Liu was responsible for her three meals a day and usually took good care of her, so she felt it wouldn't be right not to tell her.

Nurse Liu was surprised: "Why are you leaving? Isn't it good to have food and drink here?"

Zhou Chuan waved his hand: "Forget it, it's not so easy to take advantage of the military. I'm going back to my hometown. Thank you for your help these past few days..."

Nurse Liu offered a couple more words of advice, but seeing that the person was determined to leave, she stopped trying to persuade them.

Zhou Chuan lay in bed that night, pondering where she would live next...

The next day, after breakfast, Zhou Chuan wrapped her personal belongings in her short-sleeved shirt. There was nothing valuable, just two towels, toothpaste, toothbrush, and a ceramic mug for drinking water and brushing her teeth. She needed these things for the journey and had to bring them with her.

The remaining washbasin was too big to carry, so she didn't take it and put it under the bed. If Nurse Liu doesn't mind, she can take it home.

She carefully kept all the money she brought, including the money Sun Gousheng had paid in compensation, and checked it over to make sure nothing was missing. Then, Zhou Chuan took the package to the family compound. She needed to ask around about renting a car, otherwise, being ripped off would be a minor matter, but being harmed would be too unfair. After all, getting from here to the nearest town required passing through a large area of ​​wilderness, and she couldn't afford to be careless.

As she approached the residential compound, she encountered two older women.

"What are you doing?"

“I’ve been in the army for a while now, it’s time to go back. If I stay any longer, I’ll just annoy people, right? I’d like to ask you, I want to find someone from the next village to take a bus, who should I contact, and is the price still the same? I’ve heard that people from that village like to rip people off, so I’m asking around beforehand.”

"What happened? Who's making you upset? Didn't I tell you to wait for news? What, the news's out now?"

"Who knows when I'll be out? I just don't want to stay here anymore. You have no idea how stifling my life is. I work for free, and people still complain about where I'm standing. They look down on me because I'm just a country bumpkin. And that Teacher Qiao even went to Political Commissar Ma to badmouth me... Fine, I can go anywhere. I'll just leave!"

"That's how it is over there. They all look down on us country folk. Do you see anyone from our village visiting us?"

"Sigh, I'm such a fool. I saw the poor kid and went to work for him for free. And what happened? The neighbor looked down on me. Not only did he scold me, but he also badmouthed me. Even Political Commissar Ma thought I was meddling. I'm such a scoundrel... Never mind, I won't say anymore. If I say too much, Political Commissar Ma will cause me trouble again."

"You don't understand, Political Commissar Ma's grandsons will be starting school in two years, so he has to curry favor with the teachers as soon as possible, right? Besides, Teacher Qiao isn't just any teacher; she's a college graduate and the principal. You can't be so sure that Political Commissar Ma wouldn't help you!"

"My goodness, there are so many intricacies in this place! I heard people call her Teacher Qiao, but I had no idea she was such a big shot, a school principal? Hey, what school principal is she? There are other schools around here, but I haven't seen any of them."

“How could such a large military region like ours not have a school? It’s built right next to the training ground, and children from nearby villages can come to study here. But it’s normal that you can’t see it, the school is still two or three miles away from the family compound.”

“There’s a special road leading to the village, so the children don’t have to use this gate to go to school.”

"My husband said it was to prevent enemy agents, I don't know if it's true, but nearby villagers are not allowed to come in through the main gate."

Why don't you call her Principal Qiao?

"They won't allow it. Teacher Qiao thinks that calling Principal Qiao sounds awkward. Who knows what she's thinking?"

"Forget it, why should someone who's about to leave ask about these things? Ladies, I'd like to find someone to help me catch the train. Could you please tell me?"

"Are you really leaving? Aren't you going to wait any longer?"

"I'll have to leave sooner or later, so I might as well leave now while it's not too hot and save myself from suffering on the way! Besides, I've offended Teacher Qiao now... I'd better go."

Zhou Chuan chatted with the people in the family compound for a few more minutes before preparing to head to the next village. The two older women gave him a final few words of advice.

"You'd better be more careful in the future and stop meddling in other people's business. These days, good deeds don't always get rewarded... Old Zhuang from the next village has a mule cart... He can make at most 50 cents a trip. Don't get ripped off."

"If you can take one more step, then take one more step. It's so hard for a woman to live alone. Listen to me, don't be shy, remarrying isn't shameful these days..."

After thanking everyone repeatedly, Zhou Chuan carried her package out of the military area gate. As she passed the guard, she glanced at the person on duty that day and realized it was a familiar face—the same young man named Ge Dali from her first day at the military area. It seemed that the sentry, who was also named Ge Dali, remembered Zhou Chuan and smiled at her.

Zhou Chuan waved to him and then followed the older women's directions to the next village...
