Jiang Shufen now knows she brought this upon herself, but what can she do? Things have already come to this.

"If Zhan Beiqin's official rank really surpasses yours in the future, won't I be unable to hold my head up in this military family compound forever, and won't even have any friends left?"

After saying that, Jiang Shufen started to cry, but Zhang Laifu showed her no sympathy whatsoever for her crying.

"I don't even know where to cry, and you still have the nerve to cry?"

Zhang Laifu originally wanted to read some books to calm himself down, but she started crying and he couldn't concentrate anymore.

"You can cry all you want at home. I'm going back to the military region to sleep tonight."

"Don't go back to the military region. Just stay home and sleep. I won't cry anymore."

Jiang Shufen tried her best to persuade him to stay, but she still couldn't stop Zhang Laifu from leaving. Jiang Shufen then quickly called for the children.

"Guoqiang, your father is leaving. Quickly, keep him here, Guoqiang!"

Jiang Shufen called out for a long time, but Zhang Guoqiang did not come out of the house. Seeing that Zhang Laifu had already walked out of the yard, Jiang Shufen did not even have the courage to chase after him. At this moment, she was afraid to see anyone.

"Did I call you just now? Are you deaf?"

Seeing that she couldn't keep Zhang Laifu, Jiang Shufen angrily pushed open the door and questioned Zhang Guoqiang.

“I heard you, but how could I stop Dad from sleeping in the military dormitory? In the end, isn’t Dad just angry with you?”

"You little brat, why can't you learn from Guo Chunlin? Look how sensible he is, how much he protects his mother. And you? I've wasted my time raising you. You don't protect me at all."

"You only show me other people's children, why don't you look at their mothers? It's because their mothers are good that their children are good. You're always arguing with this person or comparing them to that person."

You're constantly trying to make my dad angry. You caused this, so you need to deal with it yourself. I haven't even finished my homework yet, and I'm not going to concern myself with either of you.

"Zhang Guoqiang, you're an ingrate! I'd rather have kept a dog than you..."

Jiang Shufen started nagging again, and Zhang Guoqiang immediately covered his ears. Seeing him cover his ears, Jiang Shufen was both angry and helpless, so she could only slam the door and leave.

The military family compound is only so big, and the news of Jiang Shufen gossiping and instigating Guo Jinbiao behind his back has already spread.

Zhang Laifu didn't want to see anyone, so he walked very fast after leaving the courtyard, wanting to get to the military region as soon as possible. But unfortunately, he ran into Ren Rongzheng, who was returning his things and walking back.

"Hello, Commander Zhang."

Upon hearing Ren Rongzheng's address, Zhang Laifu could only respond with an awkward yet polite smile: "Okay."

He gave a hurried reply and quickened his pace.

Ren Rongzheng turned and watched him leave. To be honest, considering everything that had happened in the past, he felt that Zhang Laifu was not a bad person. It was just that he was unlucky to marry Jiang Shufen.

Ren Rongzheng watched him walk away. Was he planning to sleep in the military dormitory at this hour? Was he going to separate from his wife because he couldn't stand her anymore?

If that's really the case, then Jiang Shufen truly deserves it!

Thinking about this, Ren Rongzheng felt even better and hummed a song all the way home.

"Have all the items been returned?"

“They were all sent back, and those military wives were more enthusiastic than ever before when they saw me; they squeezed my hands so hard they hurt.”

At this point, Ren Rongzheng leaned closer to Zhan Beiqin and asked, "You've only just started to get promoted, and these people are already fawning over me like this. If you become the commander in the future, won't I, as the commander's wife, be able to walk sideways in this military family compound?"

“If I become the commander, you won’t live in this military dependents’ compound anymore.”

"Oh, right. Besides, I was already a well-known female entrepreneur before you became the commander. I'd rather support myself than you. You'll have to take a shower by yourself tonight. I need to check the quality of the clothes I'm going to give to Boss Cui tomorrow. I might sleep very late. You don't need to wait for me."

Zhan Beiqin remained silent, simply pushing his wheelchair away alone.

Ren Rongzheng breathed a sigh of relief; she was about to get back to work. She was quite satisfied with her current life.

Are she and Zhan Beiqin now treating each other with respect? Zhan Beiqin's temper is much better than when he first married her. Is it because he's no longer going to be a nobody and wants to become a higher-ranking official? Has his ideological awareness improved?

Who cares? As long as she's living a more comfortable life, that's all that matters.

After that, Ren Rongzheng began working late into the night. She had to carefully check the quality of the clothes, and any that didn't meet the standards had to be removed.

Ren Rongzheng was really busy until very late, carefully packing each of the selected high-quality clothes.

Ren Rongzheng yawned, feeling really sleepy, and then, unable to keep his eyelids open any longer, he fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, it was when Chu Yue came to visit.

"Madam, Miss Chu Yue has arrived."

Ren Rongzheng cleared her mind and looked around. She realized that she had actually gone to bed. She remembered that she had been busy until the early hours of the morning last night.

How did she fall asleep? Did she go to bed? It seems like she fell asleep while packing her clothes.

If that's the case, how did she get into bed? Zhan Beiqin is disabled; there's no way he could carry her into bed.

"Second sister, were you exhausted yesterday? You only just woke up now."

Chu Yue's words brought her back to reality, and she replied, "I was indeed busy until very late yesterday, and I just fell asleep while I was busy."

"I can see that. It's okay, take your time, I'll wait for you." After saying that, Chu Yue walked out and sat in the outer room to wait, acting as if she were an outsider.

Ren Rongzheng shook his head again, trying to recall last night, but ultimately couldn't figure it out.

Could it be that Zhan Beiqin's disability was faked, and that he carried her to the bed?

No, no, the two of them had already talked it out. Zhan Beiqin said he was truly disabled, and she said she truly believed it, so there's no way to doubt him anymore. He must have been too tired to think straight yesterday.

Ren Rongzheng quickly washed up, ate a quick bite, grabbed the clothes she needed to deliver, and went out with Chu Yue.

Throughout the journey, Chu Yue was like a night-blooming cereus, her smile radiant.

"You're going to see Cui Qinghe soon, are you so excited?"

After Ren Rongzheng saw through her, Chu Yue blushed and smiled.

"It's been so many days! Second sister, you must try your best to persuade him to come to my house for dinner tonight."

"Okay, I will do my best."

"Thank you, second sister."

Ren Rongzheng had arranged the delivery location with Cui Qinghe yesterday, assuming it would be at Cui's hotel. However, it turned out to be a rather grand residence with an exceptionally tall gatehouse.

The two women knocked on the door, and an elderly man of about 60 years old answered it.

Just as the two women were completely confused, the old man spoke first: "Miss Ren Rongzheng and Miss Chu Yue?"

"Correct."

"I am Mr. Cui's butler. Mr. Cui is already waiting for you two in the hall. Please come in."

Ren Rongzheng and Chu Yue exchanged a glance. Was this the house Cui Qinghe bought here? Was he going to settle here temporarily?
