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

Seeing his commander's furrowed brow and anxious expression, the guard dared not utter a word and quietly followed behind. In their military region, the most feared person wasn't the commander-in-chief, but Regiment Commander Xiao. Now that his son was missing, it was no wonder the division commander was so anxious...

Zhou Chuan knew nothing about what was happening in the military region. She was busy haggling with someone when she arrived at the next village and found out that the village's cart driver had already left. She wanted to "charter" a cart to the town, but she could only wait for the mule cart to return in the afternoon. However, since she had already come all this way, she couldn't leave empty-handed. So, she bargained and haggled with the driver until she finally got a "charter price" of six cents.

According to the two women, the price was actually too high, but when the seller saw that she was a stranger and looked like that, they stuck to their price and wouldn't budge, leaving her with no choice but to be ripped off.

After getting the car sorted out, she headed back. Logically, she should have waited for the bus in the village and bought some food from a local villager for a couple of coins at noon to avoid the hassle of going back and forth. But she gave up without even thinking about it. This place was too much of a rip-off, and she didn't want to be taken advantage of. Going back to the army base would not only allow her to get a free meal, but also give them a warning. After all, she was also a military dependent.

Once outside the village, Zhou Chuan strolled around leisurely, since she had plenty of time and wasn't in a hurry.

Not long after she left, she saw two men in military uniforms walking towards her. She didn't take it seriously. She wasn't stupid enough to think that the army would actually be so conscientious as to come out and try to keep her. Being conscientious was impossible, trying to keep her was even more impossible, but they might be hoping she would leave as soon as possible.

As the person drew closer, Zhou Chuan, recognizing him as an acquaintance, didn't take him seriously and continued strolling leisurely.

Seeing her leisurely demeanor, Commander Yang on the other side was sweating profusely. Cough cough, it might also be because of the heat. However, Commander Yang was genuinely anxious. Seeing that the person on the other side was not in a hurry, he could only jog over.

Zhou Chuan saw the people opposite him start running and understood. When they got closer, Zhou Chuan greeted them warmly: "Hey, old man Yang, not bad! You're still exercising at such an old age. Are you doing field training?" Being a division commander isn't easy; you have to maintain your physical fitness at your age.

Commander Yang took a couple of breaths: "Bei Chen's child has run away from home, it's Xiao Ran. He just ran away from home, did you know about this?"

Zhou Chuan didn't react at first, but when Commander Yang mentioned Xiao Ran, she was stunned: "Runaway from home? What did you do to him? He's running away from home?" She couldn't believe it.

"Everything was fine when I left yesterday. Did one of you go and bully someone's child after I left? Was it your wife? I could tell she's no good!"

The guard standing nearby immediately shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing that her expression was normal, and then hearing her mention her husband, Commander Yang felt a pang of unease. Hearing the guard's words, he gave him a cold look and said, "Go away!" He coughed twice and awkwardly apologized to Zhou Chuan, "He's just a greenhorn, you, you shouldn't take him seriously!"

Zhou Chuan curled his lip: "I'm just an ordinary citizen, how dare I argue with your division commander's bodyguard?"

Division Commander Yang said awkwardly, "Comrade Zhou, why are you leaving so suddenly? It seems that Xiao Ran packed his bags and chased after you because he found out you were leaving. Did you say something to the child? I don't mean anything by it, I just want to know the reason."

"Really ran away from home? You're not lying?" Zhou Chuan stared intently at Old Man Yang's mouth, his heart leaping into his throat.

Commander Yang nodded: "They've been gone for a while. Xiao Ma has already sent people to look for them, and the guard company has also been dispatched. Comrade Zhou Chuan, I came to you to ask about the situation. I know you really care about that child. He's so young. If he runs away and gets lost or abducted, the consequences are something we can't bear. I'm asking you, did you say anything to him last night that might have caused the child to misunderstand?"

Seeing Commander Yang nod, Zhou Chuan also became anxious. Hearing that many people had already been sent to search, she felt somewhat relieved. However, she couldn't agree with what the old man Yang said next:

"I know what you mean. You're just trying to say that I encouraged the child to run away from home, right? Putting aside the fact that I'm not that kind of person, even if I did say something encouraging, if you treated the child well, would the child have run away from home? Take your wife, for example. If she hadn't secretly paid for the child's food and served her well every day, would the child have left?"

What misunderstanding? What misunderstanding! She stared at Old Man Yang's old face, then suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Are you afraid that the child's father won't be able to explain when he gets back, so you're trying to pin the blame on me? And you say 'I can't bear the consequences'? I think you're the ones who're scared. With his temper, if he finds out that his own son was driven away by your wife, he'll probably kill your whole family!"

Old Yang stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep: "You really didn't say anything that would mislead the child?"

Zhou Chuan rolled his eyes: "What did I say? I didn't even say goodbye to him!"

Old Yang looked carefully and found nothing unusual, then sighed and said, "Don't misunderstand, no one asked you to take the blame. I just wanted to confirm. After all, he's Commander Xiao's only child, so it's normal for us to be a little nervous."

Zhou Chuan found it rather grating: "How can it be his only child? Doesn't he also have a daughter? What, does your army also practice that kind of patriarchal system from the countryside?"

Old Yang was tense at first, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the rest: "Look at my mouth, I'm used to hearing people talk about it back home, and I couldn't control myself from saying it out loud. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Seeing that his apology was sincere, Zhou Chuan didn't press the issue: "Stop talking about abolishing feudal arranged marriages all day long. That preference for sons over daughters is the feudal dregs that should be completely eradicated. I'm doing this for your own good. If you continue to favor sons over daughters, there won't be any young girls to marry you!"

The guard beside him glared at Zhou Chuan, and Old Man Yang was almost spitting blood in anger. He glanced at Zhou Chuan, looked up at him for a while before calming down: "You..."

Zhou Chuan wasn't in the mood to continue talking to him, so he picked up his package and kept walking.

Old Yang shook his head and followed them back: "Comrade Zhou Chuan, I've already heard about yesterday's incident from Xiao Ma. I severely criticized him. Sigh, it's hard for him, having to deal with both my wife and his comrade's wife... Don't worry, it won't happen again..."

Zhou Chuan walked on by himself, saying, "It's not easy for anyone to be a person, but it's really not appropriate for me, an outsider, to keep bothering him. I've already booked a car and I'm leaving this afternoon. This place isn't where I should stay. I'd better go back to my hometown."

Old Yang noticed the tiny bundle on her shoulder and felt a pang of sympathy: "No, don't say that. If it weren't for you supporting the front lines from the rear, where would we have gotten our shoes and food? Perhaps some people have forgotten, but I, Yang Biao, haven't."

This was the first time Zhou Chuan had heard a division commander thank her, but she still humbly declined, saying, "Back then I was young and naive, I didn't know anything, and I was fooled..."

Old Yang coughed twice, "Hehe..." He looked at the distant mountains, and his heart felt a little more at ease. "Comrade Xiao, you have to trust the organization and the Party. Some of us have forgotten our original revolutionary aspirations, but the majority are still good. You can't condemn an ​​entire group just because of one person. You should at least give us a chance..."

The guards lagging behind listened to their division commander's humble plea for peace, and his eyes almost pierced through Zhou Chuan's head, who was acting "unreasonably and arrogantly." However, he only dared to glare at him.

Zhou Chuan was getting annoyed by Old Man Yang's incessant rambling. She suddenly stopped, wanting to tell him to stop talking. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, she happened to catch a glimpse of the guard's expression out of the corner of her eye.

She stopped talking and walked straight up to the guard: "What do you mean? Why are you looking at me like that!"

The guard's face turned bright red. He kept glancing between Zhou Chuan and Commander Yang, not daring to say anything out of the blue.

Old Man Yang kicked him and yelled, "Get back to your room and put him in solitary confinement!" Seeing the boy run away quickly, he explained to Zhou Chuan with an embarrassed look, "I told him to go back and put him in solitary confinement. He's just a kid, doesn't know any better!"

Zhou Chuan watched the "kid" run back and clicked his tongue: "No, we need to find a different bodyguard. You're such a high-ranking leader, it's not appropriate to hire a hothead!"

Old Yang shook his head: "The child is a good child, but he is too inexperienced and needs more experience."

Zhou Chuan just said casually, "Alright, you should go back now. I can't protect someone as high-ranking as you."

Old Man Yang naturally understood her unspoken meaning, and his brows furrowed again: "I've said so much, and you're still determined to leave? Aren't you worried at all that the child won't be found?"

Zhou Chuan pointed to his arms and legs: "Look at my skinny arms and legs, do I walk faster than you soldiers or run faster? I can't help you if I stay."

Old Yang ignored the man's skinny arms and legs: "I didn't ask you to look for him. Xiao Ma can drive around looking for him, plus a whole guard company can be sent out. You don't need to do it. I'm just thinking that the kid ran away from home most likely because he was looking for you. If he comes back and finds you're not there, won't he run away again?"

Zhou Chuan took several steps back, looking at Commander Yang with a surprised expression: "What do you mean by that? Can't I leave?"

Old Man Yang was also surprised: "Why are you looking like this? Didn't you like that child a lot? Now that the child is lost, aren't you worried at all? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

“I used to pity that child, but after what happened yesterday, I realized I’m more pitiful than him. At least he still has a father. My father died, my mother remarried, and now I don’t even have a place to stay. I’ve been here for two days, and I’ve been wronged and falsely accused... How can I have the right to pity him? I’d better get out of here and stop getting in your way!”

She was worried before, but after hearing that the army had sent vehicles and a guard company out, she stopped worrying. Xiao Ran hadn't been gone long, and he wasn't a three-year-old child who would be easily coaxed away by strangers. She estimated that he would be found soon.

"Besides, all good things must come to an end. I'll be leaving sooner or later. Instead of arguing with me, you should advise your wife to treat the kids better and not be so stingy with food. After all, it's my money. Why is she so worried about it? If it's time to buy chicken for the kids, then buy them chicken. If it's time to buy meat for the kids, then buy them meat!"

Old Yang's face flushed red and then turned pale: "It's all because of poverty. We can't even afford to eat like that at home. It's not... it wasn't intentional." Feeling a little embarrassed by Zhou Chuan's gaze, the old man sighed, "That's just her personality. She's always been like that since she was little. I've tried to persuade her, but it's no use. Sigh, she's used to a hard life. If you let her feed the child like that, it would break her heart."

Zhou Chuan shook his head: "Then there's nothing I can do. I'm not his biological mother, and I can't take care of him forever!"

Seeing that Zhou Chuan was determined to leave and could not be persuaded by any means, Old Man Yang did not insist anymore. Instead, he changed the subject: "I will have someone send you some things later. It's not easy for you to come all this way. I can't just let you leave like this."

Zhou Chuan didn't refuse when he heard there was something to take: "Don't make it too heavy, I can't carry it!"

Once they got down to business, the two chatted about their experiences on the road. Old Man Yang, as expected of someone who had traveled all over the country, knew about many places, and Zhou Chuan, who had also seen a lot of the world, found that the two of them got along quite well.
