62: Chapter 61 Each Struggling with Their Own Issues 62: Chapter 61 Each Struggling with Their Own Issues Zhou Hanliang was hesitating when the sound of a whistling wind reached his ears. Instinctively, he contorted his body, and a dark shadow whizzed past his ear, crashing heavily into the wall, leaving a noticeable small dent — it was an iron pen holder! Like a gust of wind, Zhou Hanliang “flew” out of the room. If he stayed any longer, his life would be over! After stepping outside, he took a deep breath and sighed heavily, dragging his heavy steps back to his dormitory. The moment his figure disappeared, the office door pushed open, and Zhou Mikang stood at the doorway, her expression cold, with a hint of subtle apology in her eyes... Early the next morning, the two met on the training field. Zhou Hanliang instinctively shrank, “I’m sorry!” he dropped the three words and sprinted ahead. It took him a while to snap out of it, and his eyes couldn’t help but turn red. The commander apologizing? It was something unprecedented, and he dared not even dream of it! If it weren’t for being heartbroken to the extreme, the commander wouldn’t have treated him that way. He didn’t know if she had gotten over it... He quickened his pace to catch up, “Commander...” He opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say, so he just shut up and ran alongside Zhou Mikang. The corner of her mouth rarely hooked upwards, her gaze lingered on Zhou Hanliang’s face, and Zhou Mikang suddenly sped up: “Twenty laps, finish them and I’ll treat you to soup buns at Little Red Mansion.” “Commander...” Zhou Hanliang immediately made a bitter face. Commander Tongzi, even if you intend to apologize by offering a meal, did you really have to add such a condition? It was just morning exercise, not a march! ... In the private room of Little Red Mansion, Zhou Mikang and Zhou Hanliang sat opposite each other, with ten empty steamer baskets piled on the table. Zhou Hanliang leaned back, contentedly rubbing his noticeably bulging stomach: “It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten my fill without spending a dime. It feels so good! Ah, if Lin Chuxia saw me now, she would definitely be incredibly jealous!” Zhou Mikang glanced at him indifferently: “Another ten baskets?” Zhou Hanliang’s eyes lit up: “Can I take them to go?” “Hmm, you can pack them in your stomach.” Zhou Hanliang immediately deflated like a burst balloon: “Then never mind, I can’t lose my life over gluttony.” Zhou Mikang stood up: “If you’re full, let’s go.” “Commander...” “What’s the matter?” “Nothing... Nothing at all.” Zhou Mikang turned back to look at Zhou Hanliang: “Were you going to ask me what I really think about Lin Chuxia?” “No... Not at all!” Zhou Hanliang was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hands, “I wasn’t going to ask that, I was wondering about our training plan for today.” Zhou Mikang snorted coldly and strode out the door. Zhou Hanliang angrily smacked his own mouth; the training plan was actually something the two of them had set together. Wasn’t he just asking for a slap by saying that? “Commander, I really did want to understand your feelings about Lin Chuxia. The recruitment plan is going to be scheduled soon, and your feelings will directly determine how I handle this matter.” He hurried a few steps to catch up with Zhou Mikang, and Zhou Hanliang decided to speak the truth. Drafting the report and all was his responsibility. He really didn’t want to guess wrong and have to redo everything. Zhou Mikang looked at him coldly: “Don’t you believe what I say?” “No...” After a slight hesitation, Zhou Hanliang bravely stiffened his neck, “Commander, your actions yesterday left me completely clueless.” “Since when did I need to report my actions to you?” Watching Zhou Mikang walk away, Zhou Hanliang once again regretfully hit his head. He knew the commander was still upset; why couldn’t he just hold back and not touch her sore spot for a while longer? Ah! Pulling out the special recruitment letter Xu Zhenghong gave him last night, he became conflicted again. Should he really transfer Lin Chuxia to the medical team according to Division Commander Xu’s intentions? What if he had misunderstood and that provoked the commander Tongzi’s wrath? He didn’t even want to think about it. With the commander’s fierce temper, if she didn’t eat him alive, she would definitely flay him alive! ... “Aunt Xiaojuan, I’m so sorry, this is all my fault.” Looking at Lin Baojuan whose head was bandaged, leaving only her eyes exposed, Chuxia felt terrible. Right after Aunt Lin Baojuan dropped her off at Dalin Village and returned to her own home, she was beaten up. Had it not been for Luo Xiaoqiong’s grandmother’s house in the same village as aunt, they still would not have known that such a malicious act had befallen Lin Baojuan. “Baojuan, why didn’t you send us a message?” Zhao Yulan was also full of guilt, “If it weren’t for your protection of Chuxia and taking the side of our family, this would never have happened.” “Ah!” Lin Baohe sighed deeply, looking at his daughter, “Chuxia, kneel down to your Aunt Xiaojuan!” “No need... no need...” Lin Baojuan hurriedly stopped him, “Brother, what are you doing? Whether this beating was orchestrated by Xue Guohong is still uncertain. Brother and sister-in-law should not take the blame on themselves. It’s precisely because I was worried you might overthink that I didn’t notify you. As the village Women’s Director, I have offended quite a few people. To be honest, it’s hard to say who was behind this.” “Chuxia, kneel down!” Lin Baohe insisted. The post-nineties Lin Chuxia, truly had some aversions to kneeling, but right now the face-swollen Lin Baojuan probably ended up this way because of her, causing her legs to bend unconsciously as she knelt down. “Little aunt, I, Lin Chuxia, swear that in this lifetime, I will honor you just as I honor my parents! Whatever my parents have, you will have as well; however I treat them, I will treat you the same!” Lin Baohe nodded with satisfaction; his daughter really had become sensible. He didn’t need to teach her; she knew what he wanted her to do. Seeing his little sister hurt like this, he felt an indescribable discomfort; yet, frustratingly, he was powerless to seek justice for her. The kind of pain that pierces the heart is something those who haven’t experienced it could never understand. Ever since they were little, it had only been his little sister protecting him. Although the oldest brother and the third brother were siblings, they never remembered him when it came to good things; only his little sister would never forget about him. Among the four siblings, their parents cared for him the least. This always puzzled him, but he could never find the reason. The little sister was the only daughter, so their parents were lenient with her. Even so, whenever there was a disagreement between him and his parents, the little sister had always sided with him. Just as he was puzzled by the coldness from his parents, he couldn’t understand why his little sister treated him so well. Upon reflection, it was probably because when they were children, the oldest brother and the third brother didn’t want to play with her, while he was the only one willing to take her with him wherever he went. But for him, that companionship was mutual. Every time he said this, his little sister would just smile and shake her head; the next time, she would still do what she wanted. This time was no exception. After finding out the truth, his little sister didn’t hesitate to stand by his side, which led her to this outcome. He believed that whatever she said about offending people by becoming a women’s director was all to comfort their family, hoping they wouldn’t carry a psychological burden. Now, with his sister’s head bandaged, he couldn’t see her real face, but he could imagine that to be bandaged up like this, the wound must be severe. That day, he and Zhao Yulan had no intention of sending their daughter to Xiao Lin Village; thinking back, both he and Zhao Yulan were terrified. If it weren’t for his little sister being there, the consequences now might not have been bearable for them. “Chuxia, get up. Little aunt knows you’re a filial child. Good, little aunt is looking forward to you marrying into a good family, and honoring your little aunt.” Lin Baojuan moved closer to the edge of the bed and extended her hand to help Chuxia up, but due to pulling at her wound, she froze in place. Noticing the pained expression on Lin Baojuan’s face, Chuxia quickly stood up and sat beside her, letting her lean on her. “Little aunt, I want to acknowledge you as my godmother, from now on, you have to love me as if I were your daughter.” “Silly child, little aunt has always loved you as her own daughter.” Lin Baojuan moved back, resting against the quilt, “Now I have another daughter to take care of me when I’m old. Second brother, second sister-in-law, I’m taking advantage of this, and you can’t regret it.” Knowing that she was trying to lighten their guilt, the couple choked up, also family... If all their relatives were like this, how happy would they be? “Bang!” “Clang!” Two loud noises startled Chuxia, causing her to shiver involuntarily. She knew this sound too well—the sound of a ladle falling into an iron pot, and it had to be intentional! The only people in the house were the little aunt and her mother-in-law, so without asking, it was clear who made the move. That meant, what little aunt had said about her mother-in-law feeling sorry for their family, sending them food that day, was all false. To put it bluntly, these past years, little aunt had deceived them! With a fake display of happiness, she let them accept her help with a clear conscience. “Just eating without working, freeloading all day long, always clucking away, but never see you hatching anything...” The accusatory yelling in the courtyard, wave after wave, accompanied by the clucking of hens and scurrying noises. Poor hens, just because they are so common in the countryside, do they always have to bear the blame? When others are too cowardly to address their issues directly, everything falls upon them, yet they still lay eggs for their owners... Lin Baohe, who had always thought his sister married into a good family, fiercely slammed his hand on the side of the bed: “Baojuan, are you trying to make me lose face?” Zhao Yulan’s eyes also reddened, “Yes, Baojuan, by doing this, how can your second brother and I face you in the future?” “Second brother, second sister-in-law, you’re overthinking it. My mother-in-law had an argument with someone these past few days and had nowhere to vent her anger. Her memory isn’t good; she probably forgot you were still here.” A bad memory, yet she can still quarrel with nowhere to vent her anger? How absurd this lie is... “Little aunt...” Chuxia, also teary-eyed, was at a loss for words. No matter if she was truly her aunt by blood, such a relative was deeply moving! —– Stay tuned for the second release (to be continued.
