"Yes, I am your future wife. I have seen your information on Wang Po's phone. You are a military commander. You are a very good catch."

Ren Rongzheng specifically mentioned the word "cell phone," a word that didn't exist in this era. After saying it, Ren Rongzheng observed his reaction.

"A cell phone?" Zhan Beiqin asked indifferently. "What is that?"

Hearing him ask that question, Ren Rongzheng breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't know what a cell phone was, then he wasn't Zhan Beiqin from the 21st century.

I knew it! It was already fantastical enough that she wore it alone, how could she wear it with Zhan Beiqin?

Coincidence, this is purely coincidental!

"Oh, it means a handwritten notepad, I'll just call it a cell phone."

Zhan Beiqin ignored this explanation and continued to ask, "Wang Po only told you that I am a military region commander, but did she tell you that I am cursed to bring misfortune to my wives? Did she tell you that my position as a military region commander is just a nominal one?"

what?

Ren Rongzheng was stunned for a moment.

“These matchmakers didn’t say anything, did they? Well, those unscrupulous matchmakers only say what sounds good.” Zhan Beiqin said as he pushed the wheelchair closer to Ren Rongzheng. “The fortune teller said I had a strong fate, but at first no one believed it, until later.”

I had a childhood sweetheart with whom I was betrothed since birth. He died in a car accident the day after we got engaged. I was on a mission with my subordinates when an explosion occurred, killing everyone in the company except me.

Although I didn't die, my leg was crippled. The army recognized my merit and gave me the position of deputy political commissar. I should emphasize that the position of deputy political commissar is dispensable in the army. There was no such position before me; it was created because I was temporarily appointed.

So it's a nominal position, with no real power. It's just that the military takes pity on me and keeps this useless person on their paycheck. I'm powerless and have a tough life, so aren't you afraid of marrying me?"

After hearing these words, Ren Rongzheng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed.

"These old women didn't say anything, but coincidentally, I'm tough, I'm not afraid! And everyone knows about how Jiang Linhai broke off our engagement because I'm infertile, right?"

"We're all comrades and colleagues. If Jiang Linhai doesn't want you, and you take her, people will inevitably gossip about you. Aren't you afraid of losing face? Besides, if you marry me, you can't be a father."

"It doesn't matter."

"OK, if it's consensual, then it's settled. When will the marriage application be approved?"

"soon."

"Okay, then we're practically husband and wife now. I've broken ties with the Ren family, and I have nowhere to stay. I'm penniless and can't afford to stay in a hotel. Since I'm about to become your wife, please take me in for a few days?"

Is she penniless now?

Zhan Beiqin's gaze fell on her pocket, then shifted to her face, and he said indifferently, "Okay, before we get our marriage certificate, you'll live in the military family compound, and I'll live in the military dormitory. After we get our marriage certificate, we'll start living together."

This man is quite conservative, which is good. People these days are generally simple and conservative.

"Yes, I agree."

Afterwards, Zhan Beiqin gave her the key to the house in the military family compound and reminded her, "I have a cleanliness obsession. Don't dirty any part of the house, or I will kick you out."

"Understood." Ren Rongzheng took the keys and smiled gratefully at him. "Thank you. You go ahead with your work. I'll be going now."

Zhan Beiqin remained silent. After Ren Rongzheng's figure disappeared from his sight, his eyes slowly darkened...

-

After leaving Zhan Beiqin's office, Ren Rongzheng hummed a little tune as he rode his bicycle all the way to the military family compound.

She was beautiful, dressed brightly, and riding a Phoenix brand bicycle, so she naturally attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered the courtyard.

"Whose relative is this? I've never seen her before, dressed so extravagantly."

“I think it’s Ren Naiyao’s eldest daughter. Wasn’t she just dumped by Battalion Commander Jiang and committed suicide by jumping into the river? What’s she doing in our military family compound?”

"Go and have a look."

Several women jogged after Ren Rongzheng, watching her enter Zhan Beiqin's courtyard. The older women exchanged bewildered glances, then hurriedly inquired around, and after finding out the details, they all smiled in unison.

"This engagement was just broken off by Battalion Commander Jiang, and Zhan Beiqin immediately took it in. If they all live in this courtyard from now on, it will be quite lively."

"Quickly, go tell Sister Jiang that Zhan Beiqin is even picking up things that others don't want. He's lost all fighting spirit since becoming disabled. This will put her completely at ease; she's firmly in her position as the regimental commander's wife!"

The "Sister Jiang" she mentioned is Jiang Shufen, the wife of the newly appointed regimental commander Zhang Laifu.

The initial candidates for regimental commander were Zhan Beiqin and Zhang Laifu, with Zhan Beiqin being the more popular choice. However, he became disabled during a mission, and the position of regimental commander fell to Zhang Laifu.

So there have always been rumors that Zhang Laifu got lucky by taking advantage of Zhan Beiqin, which has made Zhang Laifu and his wife very angry and wary of Zhan Beiqin.

Now, these officers' wives who want to curry favor with her seize every opportunity to tip her off.

Jiang Shufen arrived shortly afterward. She was a middle-aged woman in her forties, the wife of the newly appointed regimental commander, and she walked with an air of superiority.

"Zhan Beiqin picked up a woman Jiang Linhai didn't want? You must have misheard?"

When Jiang Shufen heard this, she couldn't believe it at first. Although Zhan Beiqin was disabled, he was still very proud and arrogant. He picked up a woman that the officers in the army with lower ranks than him didn't want.

"We found out for sure, we all saw her go inside. This barren hen paired with this wife-killing cripple, what a perfect match!"

After that, everyone laughed again, and then, to make Jiang Shufen happy, they said increasingly outrageous things.

A short while later, Ren Rongzheng came out of the inner room carrying a basin of water.

"You ladies are really good at gossiping behind people's backs. It's windy today, so don't bite your tongues."

After saying that, Ren Rongzheng splashed the basin of water at them. Jiang Shufen and the others couldn't dodge in time, and the water naturally splashed on them.

"Ren Rongzheng, are you trying to cause trouble just because your father is the factory director? The regimental commander's wife is right here, how dare you act so presumptuously?"

"Exactly, this is a military compound, not your dad's steel factory. With such poor upbringing, no wonder you can't have children..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ren Rongzheng slapped her across the face. It was one thing to scold her, but to say she had no manners was to insult her mother.

"Ren Rongzheng, how could you hit someone in broad daylight?" Jiang Shufen immediately rebuked.

"They assaulted someone on their very first day moving into the military family compound. What will become of them in the future?"

As soon as Jiang Shufen rebuked him, the rest of them started talking all at once.

The woman who had been slapped was furious and threw a tantrum, rushing forward to grab Ren Rongzheng's hair, but how could she give her the chance?

Seeing that a fight had broken out, they took advantage of their numbers and all joined in, thinking they would teach this arrogant girl a lesson, little did they know...

"What are they doing? A group of women fighting in public, what kind of behavior is this?"

After the afternoon training session ended, the soldiers living in the military dependents' compound went home one after another, and they saw this scene as soon as they entered the compound.

Upon seeing that Jiang Shufen was among those fighting, the subordinates immediately went to inform Zhang Laifu, who arrived and sternly reprimanded her.
