Transmigrated into a child bride, she punishes scumbags, raises children, and marries a soldier.
Chapter 98 We need to change our tempers
"Stop being sarcastic!" Commander Xiao realized he had made a mistake. There was no need for him to explain himself. "Believe it or not, it's up to you. I have nothing to hide. I haven't done anything against my conscience." He must have been out of his mind just now. Why did he have to talk so much with her?
"I never said you were unhealthy. You're the one who misunderstood and now you're blaming me for being sarcastic?" Zhou Chuan glanced at his expression and lost interest in arguing. "Fine, I'm too lazy to argue with you about this. Let's get back to Xiao Ran's schooling. What do you have to say now?"
When the topic of his son's schooling came up, he became agitated again. If his son went to school, he might fall behind in his studies and get bullied at school. If he didn't go to school, he would have to repeat a grade in the second half of the year. Elementary school is five years long, so he would be seventeen when he graduated. If he went to high school, he would be over twenty. If he went to university, he would be almost thirty.
"Given the situation, what's there to hesitate about?" Zhou Chuan was getting anxious seeing his furrowed brows and reluctance to agree.
“Xiao Ran is very resistant to going to school right now. If you force him to go, he won’t be able to learn anything. What if you push him too far and he runs away from home? It’s okay to wait a year. Good things come to those who wait. Once he adapts, he will definitely learn faster.”
"Eleven years old is already too late!" Children are a debt, Commander Xiao scratched his head in frustration. "Damn it, if I find out who bullied my son, I'll beat their father to death!"
Zhou Chuan scoffed, "Alright, stop bragging! Just tell me whether you're going to study or not?" After all this earnest persuasion, he still couldn't make up his mind. "You're supposed to be an officer, why are you so indecisive! Do you think you're like this when you're fighting a war?"
"Can war be like this? War," Commander Xiao was genuinely losing face this time, "Forget it, if I don't want to study, I don't want to study. Anyway, I haven't had many classes this semester. If I come back with a zero, I can't afford to lose face!"
"At least you did something decent!" Zhou Chuan had achieved her goal, and her anger had subsided considerably. She picked up the chair she had kicked earlier, sat down, and continued eating. "The food is all cold. It's a good thing it's summer, otherwise I would have had to reheat the food." After picking up her rice bowl, she glanced at the man surnamed Xiao. "Next time you want to say something, you'd better wait until everyone has finished eating."
She had just hit someone with her own chopsticks, and she was too lazy to go to the kitchen to get clean chopsticks, so she temporarily ate with the little girl's spoon.
Commander Xiao closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He couldn't help but admire some people: "They've got quite a heart!" They can still eat!
Zhou Chuan rolled his eyes at him: "I have a lot of things to do this afternoon. How about you do the housework after we eat?" As he spoke, he scooped up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. Hmm... he forgot to add the cooking wine.
Commander Xiao remembered the cloth and cotton he had bought that morning, so he didn't say anything more. Instead, he picked up the chair that he had kicked over earlier and resignedly found a broom to sweep up the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground.
"Don't smash things so easily next time. Let's talk this out. I... I'm a reasonable person. As long as you're in the right and it's for the good of the two kids, I'll definitely listen to you."
After cleaning up the mess on the floor, Xiao Beichen sat down opposite Zhou Chuan, ready to have a serious talk with him. "I can see that my two children genuinely like you, and you genuinely care about them, but shouldn't you change your temper?"
Zhou Chuan was enjoying his meal when he heard what he said and became unhappy: "What's wrong with my temper? Even if my temper is bad, isn't it better than yours?" He was really surprised. "Why don't you go out and find out what your reputation is like? If even one person says you have a good temper, I'll cut off my head and let you kick it like a ball!"
Commander Xiao's secrets were exposed, but he didn't deny it: "I may have a bad temper, but you're not much better. We're both the same, so let's not judge each other." He considered that since the two children couldn't live without him, he had to find a way to get along with him.
“I’m a soldier, and I have to go on missions from time to time, sometimes for a week, sometimes for several months. When I’m not on missions, I just want to be able to spend time with my children at home, and I also hope that things at home won’t be as chaotic as they are today.”
Zhou Chuan put down his chopsticks, about to retort: "Who are you calling a troublemaker?"
"Don't rush, let me finish," Commander Xiao quickly gestured to the others. "I didn't mean to criticize you. I know you're doing this for Xiao Ran's own good. I just want to say that we should talk things out. I have a short temper, and you're also easily angered. If we start fighting like this... it wouldn't be good for the child to see, wouldn't you say?"
Zhou Chuan shook his head: "I'm not trying to discourage you, but with your temper, I don't think you can change it!" The idea is indeed a good one, but the key is that it can't be implemented. They're all getting on in years, and their personalities are already set. How can they possibly change their temperaments now?
Commander Xiao, with unusual patience, advised, "I can't do it alone. Just like before, you were doing it for Xiao Ran's own good, and so was I. We don't have any real conflict. If we just spoke to each other carefully, we wouldn't have escalated the situation so much, kicking chairs and smashing bowls..."
While others were patient in speaking, Zhou Chuan was impatient in listening: "Alright, don't try to pin this on me. You were the one who slammed the table first, and you kicked the chair first. I only smashed the bowl because you forced me to."
I don't know if she's genuinely forgetful or doing it on purpose, but doesn't she have any self-awareness about her own character?
"Didn't I speak properly just now? I did, but you wouldn't listen. You, Commander Xiao, are so capable that everyone has to listen to you. I said one thing, and you said I was meddling. Your voice was so loud it almost shook the ceiling off."
"Alright, alright, I admit I was too hasty just now. Let's put this behind us and not bring it up again," Commander Xiao said, a little embarrassed as he recalled the slap he had just given. "Let's not talk about the past anymore. Let's talk about the future. I'll try my best to control my temper and not lose my temper at home. Is that alright?"
Zhou Chuan remained skeptical: "Your idea is good, but your temper is already like this, and you can't change it." Rather than changing it, it's better to adapt. "If you look on the bright side, it's really not a big deal. You have a bad temper, and so do I. If you scold me, I'll scold you back. You don't lose out, and neither do I. Isn't that great? Nobody loses out!"
"I've already compromised, can't you compromise too?" This was the first time Commander Xiao had heard such a theory. Although it sounded plausible, he still thought it was wrong. If that were the case, wouldn't his family be in constant turmoil?
Zhou Chuan continued eating: "What's the use of just talking? You should return a few times first."
After fighting so many wars and spending every day with rough men, her temper had become ingrained and almost impossible to change. He was stubborn and insisted on hitting a brick wall, but she didn't have time to play along with him.
Seeing Zhou Chuan's amused expression, Commander Xiao, brimming with suppressed anger, said, "You just wait!" and then went out.
As soon as he left, Xiao Ran ran out of the stairwell: "Auntie, am I really not going to school anymore?"
Zhou Chuan glared at him, annoyed: "Eavesdropping there?"
Xiao Ran looked anxious: "Auntie?"
"I'm not going anymore, this time it's really over," Zhou Chuan pinched his little cheek, "Are you happy now?"
Xiao Ran then smiled, pursing his lips.
Seeing that there was still a lot of food left on the table, Zhou Chuan winked at Xiao Ran: "There's still a lot left, have two more bowls with your aunt."
Xiao Ran happily went to the kitchen to get some rice.
After finishing her meal, Zhou Chuan got busy. She had to fry the pork fat she bought, and the large pork knuckle was too big to finish, so she had to marinate it. She was so busy in the kitchen that she didn't have time to go to the yard.
