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

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pick up the rice crusts on the ground!" Zhou Chuan looked up and saw Xiao Ran standing at the kitchen door. He then bent over and continued picking up the rice crusts scattered on the ground. "You've only had enough to eat for two days and you're already wasting food. I think you're asking for a beating!"

Xiao Ran didn't talk back when he was scolded; instead, he grinned. After being glared at, he joined in picking up the rice crusts from the ground. He gathered them all up and handed them to Zhou Chuan, asking nervously, "Auntie, aren't you leaving?"

Zhou Chuan put the soiled rice crust into a bowl and washed it with cold water, without directly answering him: "Quickly check if the fire in the stove is still burning?"

Xiao Ran then went to check on the fire. After checking on the fire, Zhou Chuan sent him to feed the chickens. After a few times, Xiao Ran forgot about the problem from earlier.

After Zhou Chuan washed the rice crust clean, rinsed it with boiling water, poured hot chicken soup over it, and served it to the children at the table, Commander Yang's bodyguard brought over the money.

Zhou Chuan took the money and counted it in front of him. Although it was only five ten-yuan bills, she felt it was better to count it in person. Of course, with her acting like this, Commander Yang's bodyguard naturally didn't give her a good look.

She counted the money and stuffed it into her pocket before looking up at the guard and saying, "Weren't you put in solitary confinement? How come you're out so soon?"

Seeing the guard's face turn bright red, she quickly reassured him, "Don't be nervous, I was just asking. Okay, I've received the money. Go back and report to your division commander."

The guard hurriedly ran away. Zhou Chuan watched his panicked figure and clicked his tongue twice, thinking, "He really lacks experience."

"Count them, count them quickly," Zhou Chuan placed five ten-yuan bills on the dining table, "Auntie is rich now."

Xiao Ran looked at the money on the table, then at Zhou Chuan, and took the money out of his pocket and put it on the table. After taking the money out of his pocket, he went to the living room and took out the money that he had buried in the bag of millet and put it on the table.

"Auntie, it's all for you!"

Zhou Chuan patted the child's head: "Keep it yourself, your aunt is rich!" She gathered up Xiao Ran's money and stuffed it into his pocket, then sat down next to him.

"Not bad, you knew to hide half of it in the basket. But you can't run away from home again. You were lucky today that you didn't run into kidnappers. If you had run into kidnappers and sold you to work in the mines, your father wouldn't have been able to find you even if he went to heaven."

Xiao Ran lowered his head; "Auntie, please don't leave."

"Eat up," Zhou Chuan pushed the rice bowl towards him. "The countryside is not as good as here. You work hard all year round and just barely make ends meet. Here, you don't have to work in the fields, and you can study and learn to read. Isn't that better than the countryside?"

Xiao Ran ate heartily; after a whole morning of fussing, he was starving. Zhou Chuan sat beside him, chatting about random things.

"...Let's go to the fields and gather some wild vegetables first, otherwise feeding the chickens rice all the time is such a waste. This afternoon I'll go to your Aunt Li's place and buy a few chickens. Seeing how much you're enjoying them makes me envious too. Eat yours, eat yours, and tomorrow I'll kill a chicken and eat it..."

After having dinner with the children, Zhou Chuan started tidying up the nanny's room. She had just said yesterday that she was leaving, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her to use the hospital bed again now. She could only stay in the nanny's room temporarily. In any case, she would leave here once Commander Xiao returned, and it would be too much trouble to keep going back and forth.

She took out all the quilts and mattresses to air them out, and threw the sheets, blankets, and mats into the yard to wash later. Chuanzi didn't go anywhere; she just stood by and watched.

After Zhou Chuan cleaned the nanny's room, he went to the well to wash the bed sheets and duvet covers, and the two chatted from time to time.

With such a commotion in the Xiao family's courtyard, it was impossible for Li Dazui next door not to hear it. After waiting for a while, she couldn't resist any longer and opened the door to "pull the weeds".

After pulling up two weeds, Li Dazui stood up, rubbed his back, and then swayed to the fence: "Hey girl, are you... very familiar with the division commander?"

As soon as Zhou Chuan saw it was her, he started complaining: "Sister Li, you've really gotten me into trouble!"

Li Dazui was somewhat bewildered: "Girl, are you being reasonable? You complained that my chicken is too small, and I haven't even said anything to you yet, so why are you blaming me instead!"

Zhou Chuan wiped the soap suds off his hands, walked to the fence, and argued with her: "You still won't admit it? If it weren't for you, would Teacher Qiao have reported me?"

Li Dazui was also surprised: "What? She complained about you? What right does she have to complain about you!"

Zhou Chuan glanced towards Teacher Qiao's house and said, "Would I lie to you? If she hadn't told on me, would I have packed my bags and gone back to my hometown?"

Li Dazui was shocked again: "What? You're going back to your hometown?"

"Big sister, what exactly did you say about her family? Huh? She's so nervous!" Zhou Chuan stared at Li Dazui with suspicion. "I only met her for the first time yesterday. If you hadn't called her Teacher Qiao, I wouldn't even know her last name. It's impossible that I let it slip."

Li Dazui denied it: "I really didn't say anything. Before she came back yesterday, did I mention her house once? No! This matter is not my fault."

Zhou Chuan stared intently at her: "You must have said something, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten so flustered and red-faced!"

Li Dazui couldn't stand Zhou Chuan's stare any longer. She looked around and then waved to Zhou Chuan: "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Zhou Chuan glanced at Xiao Ran standing beside him and then leaned over to listen.

"That's how it is..."

Zhou Chuan blinked, somewhat incredulous: "Really?" After saying that, she glanced at Xiao Ran again. There were some things she couldn't let the child know. She took out a ten-yuan note from her pocket and handed it to him. "Ranran, go to the convenience store and buy a bag of salt. If they sell candy, buy a couple of pieces to eat too."

Zhou Chuan knew the adults had something to say, so he took the money and ran to the convenience store.

"This child really listens to you!" Li Dazui looked at Xiao Ran's back and admired Zhou Chuan. She had taken the child in for almost half a year and could hear the father and son arguing almost every two days.

The Xiao family's nanny received similar treatment, causing chaos every single day. It was only after Comrade Zhou came that things quieted down a bit. There was still some noise, but it happened much less frequently than before.

“That’s just how kids are, they listen to whoever treats them well,” Zhou Chuan glanced at him and then looked away. “Big sister, are you telling the truth?”

Li Dazui's eyes widened: "I saw it with my own eyes, would I lie to you? When Teacher Qiao saw her daughter being kicked, she immediately started making a scene in Commander Xiao's yard. I see it clearly every day while I'm weeding."

Knowing the truth, Zhou Chuan's expression changed when he looked at Li Dazui: "So the person you told me about yesterday is Teacher Qiao's own daughter!" He had clearly revealed someone's private information, yet he stubbornly refused to admit it. "You wouldn't admit it just now, but now you're contradicting yourself. No wonder Teacher Qiao was so angry that day; it turns out you were the one who caused all of this from beginning to end?"

Li Dazui looked embarrassed: "Girl, I just blurted it out. I never intended to talk to you about her family. Sigh, this whole thing is a mess. I really didn't mean to. We were just chatting and the conversation drifted to that topic... It's really not my fault."

"Are you going to blame me? What did I do to deserve this?" She's really good at shifting blame. "I don't even know what the other person's last name is. My mouth is dry from talking. Pick me two persimmons to eat, hurry up. You've made me suffer so much, and you can't even afford to give me two persimmons?"

Li Dazui was in the wrong, so he had no choice but to pick tomatoes for her. He originally wanted to pick two small ones to get by, but then he heard Zhou Chuan shouting, "Don't be so stingy, pick two big ones." Helpless, he picked two that weren't that big and handed them over.

Zhou Chuan was indeed a bit thirsty, so he grabbed one, wiped it on his clothes, and started eating. While eating, he scolded Li Dazui: "You're really something, even though Teacher Qiao caught you red-handed, you still won't admit it?"

Li Dazui raised his head and said righteously, "I just won't admit it. What can she do to me? Does she dare to confront me?"

Zhou Chuan clicked his tongue. He really couldn't. He was afraid of hurting her. Anyway, Li Dazui hadn't named anyone. If she jumped out to confront him, wouldn't that be an admission of guilt? Even Li Dazui knew this, so how could a college student not know it?

No wonder Teacher Qiao was so furious. Anyone would have been driven crazy by Li Dazui's antics.

Thinking about it this way, Teacher Qiao is actually quite well-mannered. After all, he only said some harsh words, not really insults.

Zhou Chuan cupped his hands in admiration to Li Dazui, saying, "Big sister is amazing, I admire you. But I still don't quite understand why you won't admit it. Didn't you say yesterday that everyone in the family compound knew? Since everyone knows, it's okay for you to say it."

Li Dazui initially didn't want to talk about it, but Zhou Chuan kept pestering her until she finally reluctantly revealed the reason: "Sigh, my wife is struggling to make a living under her husband's thumb, so there's nothing I can do... it's tough for me too." She stubbornly refused to admit it, so there was nothing Zhou Chuan could do about it.

Zhou Chuan asked, puzzled, "Isn't your husband a regimental commander? Or... is her husband a deputy division commander?"

This time, Li Dazui didn't hesitate: "Her husband isn't a deputy division commander. Deputy division commander? What makes him so special? He's just a regimental commander, half a rank higher than my husband. My Zhigang's disadvantage is that he's too young, otherwise he would definitely be a regimental commander too."

She glanced disdainfully in the direction of Old Qiao's house, then mysteriously leaned closer to Zhou Chuan, "Actually, a lot of Commander Wen's achievements are thanks to my man. Really, I have absolutely no respect for his family..."

"Is your husband a deputy regimental commander?" Zhou Chuan was speechless when she saw Li Dazui nod rather reluctantly. She had thought they were equals who couldn't stand each other, but it turned out they weren't. "Then why were you like that yesterday?" Doesn't he know that a higher rank can have an advantage?

"Didn't I explain to her nicely... at most I just told her a couple of truths," Li Dazui's eyes darted around, "I didn't wrong her at all, she just looks down on us country folk..."

Zhou Chuan chuckled twice and then fell silent. Li Dazui had clearly said it but still refused to admit it, which was even more hateful than admitting it directly. Qiao, the wife of her husband's boss, must be so angry that her internal organs were swollen.
