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

Originally, Commander Xiao, seeing that it was almost time to move his belongings home, planned to go to the canteen for lunch. However, upon hearing from the kitchen that they were making braised pork, he hesitated to leave. After all, he had contributed both money and effort; a little meat was only fair. Besides, he could also use this opportunity to cultivate a relationship with his son...

Commander Xiao, who was secretly planning something, took his little daughter to play with after moving all the things.

Zhou Chuan had no idea what the regimental commander was thinking. She was busy at the moment, quickly cutting the meat into medium-sized cubes. She asked Xiao Ran to help with the fire while she quickly prepared the ginger and garlic. Just then, the iron pot was heated up, and she poured the cut meat into it to fry the meat first. Xiao Ran watched from the side, his mouth watering.

The meat was slowly rendered and the fat was released. It was then taken out and used to caramelize white sugar. Finally, chunks of meat and star anise were added, and water was added to simmer... The aroma wafted from the kitchen, making Xiao Beichen even more reluctant to leave.

While waiting for the braised pork to reduce its sauce, Zhou Chuan made a cucumber salad and also cracked an egg to steam with the rice to make an egg custard...

Judging that the braised pork was almost done, she took the rice washing basket to measure the rice. Xiao Ran no longer locked the door, and the bottles and jars that she had hidden before had long been moved to the kitchen.

The remaining grains weren't moved, firstly because they were too heavy to move, and secondly because moving them to the kitchen would be too conspicuous. If someone came to visit one day... it wouldn't be good to be seen by others, so the rice and flour were stored in their usual place.

As Zhou Chuan passed through the living room, she discovered that Commander Xiao was still there, and not only was he there, he was also playing with Xiao Mianmian in the living room. After glancing at him for a moment, she felt it was necessary to remind him: "It's lunchtime, aren't you going to the cafeteria for dinner?"

Xiao Beichen felt inexplicably wronged and annoyed. He glanced at his daughter on the ground, then at Zhou Chuan, who was "crossing the river and burning the bridge" and "using and discarding", and said, "What, I paid for this meat, and I can't even have a bite?"

Zhou Chuan blinked a few times. What they said made sense; they had contributed both money and effort, and it was almost time to eat. For her to send them away like that was indeed a bit...

But you can't blame her. The only thing to blame is that she got used to just the three of them at home during the days that Commander Xiao was away, and suddenly having another person... she couldn't adjust for it.

"I can eat, I can eat. You're never home, I almost forgot you existed," Zhou Chuan quickly tried to cover for himself. "Luckily I didn't cook any rice, otherwise it wouldn't even be enough for you to fill a tooth gap, haha. Just a minute, it'll be ready soon, almost ready..."

"What do you mean I'm never home? Come back and explain yourself..." Commander Xiao watched as she ran into the study, taking several deep breaths. He felt that he was going to be driven crazy by her sooner or later.

Zhou Chuan measured the rice and rushed out of the living room to the kitchen: "Don't rush, it'll be ready soon!"

Once inside the kitchen, Zhou Chuan lifted the lid of the pot and looked at the braised pork inside. She felt it wasn't enough; the person sitting in the living room was eating way too much—one of them was enough for the three of them. After thinking for a moment, she added some scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

The food was almost ready, so Zhou Chuan told Xiao Ran to wash his face and hands. Xiao Ran went out happily, but less than five seconds later, he came back with a long face: "Auntie, he's still here. He wants to eat our meat."

Zhou Chuan quickly covered his mouth, glanced cautiously towards the living room, and then whispered, "You, you, I don't know what to say to you. These were all bought with your father's money. Isn't it only natural for him to eat some?"

Seeing that his little face was still covered in dust, she scooped some water from the bucket into a basin, rinsed a towel with the water, and then helped him wipe his face, scolding him as she did so: "Remember to call me 'Dad' next time. Your dad really spent a fortune on you two siblings today, just buying cloth, cotton, and all this meat cost a lot of money..."

At this crucial point, Zhou Chuan whispered in Xiao Ran's ear, "You need to be a little sweeter with your words from now on. Don't go against your dad every time you see him. What good will it do you to go against him? Nothing. You're just being foolish. Listen to your aunt, remember to show your appreciation at the dinner table later. Say thank you, Dad, thank you, Dad, understand? If you behave well, you'll eat meat every day. If you don't behave well, you'll get a beating every day. You choose, meat or a beating..."

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Zhou Chuan glanced up and saw that Commander Xiao had somehow appeared at the kitchen doorway. Caught off guard, she felt a pang of guilt: "Um, Ranran, hurry, hurry and thank your dad! If it weren't for his money and effort, where would we have gotten this braised pork today? Hurry, hurry..."

Xiao Ran moved his lips, wanting to speak, but just couldn't bring himself to say it.

Commander Xiao glanced at Zhou Chuan for a moment before turning his gaze to his son: "Your sister's hands are dirty, you, as her older brother, should go and wash them for her."

Xiao Ran turned to look at Zhou Chuan, who nodded awkwardly: "Go, take this basin and wash." Only then did Xiao Ran take the basin to the living room.

Commander Xiao saw his son squatting there helping his daughter wash her hands before he walked closer to Zhou Chuan. Afraid his son would hear, he lowered his voice and said, "Is this how you teach him in private? And you want him to eat with a stick? When have I ever hit him? He's my own son, my own flesh and blood! He doesn't need to please me at all. I feed him meat every day!"

The two were standing very close; Zhou Chuan could even hear the regimental commander gritting his teeth. She shoved the commander, who was standing too close, away, saying, "You've sprayed spittle all over my face," and wiped her face with her hand.

"Don't be ungrateful! I'm trying to help you. You haven't cared for your child for over ten years, and now the child is distant from you. I'm trying to help you reconcile, and you're getting angry with me? Why are you so upset!"

Once she calmed down, she felt less guilty. To be honest, she was indeed helping to ease the tension between the father and son.

Commander Xiao snorted angrily, "Stop pretending! What do you mean if you don't please me, you'll be beaten every day? Have you ever seen me hit a child? Don't talk nonsense like that!"

Zhou Chuan rolled his eyes: "We don't fight, but we argue every day. The first day I came to your house, you two were arguing. Why is Xiao Ran arguing with you? Huh? Why? It can't be because he's close to you, his father! Everyone knows the truth, so why are you pretending with me?"

Commander Xiao gritted his teeth: "My Xiao Ran was just having a tantrum with me... Besides, what child doesn't have tantrums with their parents? How come it sounds different in your mouth?"

Zhou Chuan saw that he was still stubbornly insisting: "Alright, alright, don't be angry. The reason I said those things just now was just to scare him so that he would take the initiative to repair his relationship with you. After all, you and your son have been separated for more than ten years and there is no affection between you. Ordinary methods will not work. We have to use some special methods. I meant well, but you don't appreciate it and you're nagging me!"

Commander Xiao patted his chest repeatedly, panting, "Is this how you use such methods?"

"What are you doing!" Seeing his father's posture, Xiao Ran immediately stood in front of Zhou Chuan. "Are you trying to kick my aunt out again?"

Seeing that Commander Xiao was angry, Zhou Chuan grabbed Xiao Ran and said, "How dare you talk to your father like that? Have you forgotten what I just told you?" Seeing that he had deflated, he then "slapped" him.

"Your dad said he'd make sure you eat meat every day from now on, and he even told me to cook you different dishes every day. You didn't even hear him properly before yelling at him. You can't do that next time. Apologize to your dad right now, apologize!"

Xiao Ran looked up at his father, then at Zhou Chuan. Seeing Zhou Chuan constantly giving him meaningful glances, he resignedly apologized to Commander Xiao.

Commander Xiao swallowed the mouthful of blood he was about to vomit. She really was his nemesis. In just a short while, he was not only scolded, but she also had to make sure that everyone had meat at every meal from now on... The key point is that he said those words himself, and he couldn't take it back.

"See, isn't that good now? They're father and son, there's no grudge that lasts overnight." Zhou Chuan patted Xiao Ran's little shoulder and helped the two men "reconcile," but seeing that Commander Xiao's expression was getting worse, she quickly changed the subject, "Alright, don't stand in the kitchen anymore, go eat, the food is really good today, all the main dishes..."

After saying that, she quickly grabbed Xiao Ran with one hand and carried the dishes to the restaurant with the other.
