Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.

Chapter 136 Suspecting Huo Yanchuan of Using Public Office for Personal Revenge

"I'll talk to Xiaowan properly, Commander. Please let me go this time. I don't want to always hide behind you. I want to carry out a mission alone and prove myself." Hao Gang said with a serious expression.

Since he joined the army, he has always gone on missions with the regimental commander.

He's not young anymore, and if he doesn't make any meritorious contributions, he'll eventually have to retire from the military like everyone else.

He knew the commander was doing it for his own good, but he was different now than before.

He's now married with Xiao Wan, and he wants her to have a good life with him.

"In that case, you can go and apply to the political commissar yourself." Hearing Hao Gang's words, Huo Yanchuan did not stop him.

He's right; if you want to make a name for yourself, you have to work hard.

Since this is his own choice, it's not appropriate for others to try to persuade him otherwise.

Hao Gang was also very excited to receive Huo Yanchuan's permission.

He and Peng Xiaowan didn't stay long and went home to prepare.

After returning home, he told Peng Xiaowan about it.

Upon hearing this, Peng Xiaowan was shocked and worried: "You're going to lead the team on a mission alone?"

Hao Gang nodded. "Yes, I've already spoken to the regimental commander, and he's agreed."

"Won't there be any danger?" Peng Xiaowan was still a little worried.

This is, after all, his first time leading a team alone. What if there is any danger?

Besides, they had only been married a short time, and she didn't know when he would be back. Of course, she was reluctant to let him go.

Hao Gang put his arm around her shoulder and sat down, comforting her, "Don't worry, your man isn't as weak as you think. I'll finish the mission and come back as soon as possible. Just stay home and wait for me."

"Then...then I'll go pack your luggage."

Peng Xiaowan knew that this was his decision, and as a military family member, she had to accept it.

When she married him, she was already prepared to be a military spouse.

In the past, when Huo Tuan went out on missions, Xiao Rou would wait for him to come back at home in the same way.

Now it's her turn. Even if she's reluctant to separate, she has to part ways this time.

Peng Xiaowan had just stood up when Hao Gang grabbed her hand. "No rush, sit down and keep me company."

"Xiao Wan, now that you've married me, I have to make sure you live a good life. I didn't have much ambition before; I just wanted to coast along in the army until the day I was discharged. But now, I want to earn a military merit for you."

When Hao Gang said these words, his face was more serious and earnest than ever before.

Peng Xiaowan was deeply moved, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"I don't want any military merits, I just want you to come back safely, Hao Gang. Promise me you'll come back safely."

As Peng Xiaowan spoke, tears streamed down her cheeks.

Hao Gang tenderly wiped away her tears, gently coaxing her, and continued to comfort her, "Okay, I promise you, I will take good care of myself and come back safely."

"When are you leaving?" Peng Xiaowan asked him, having composed herself.

"It's not certain yet. We'll see how things go tomorrow or the day after."

Peng Xiaowan nodded. "Then I'll go make something to eat."

Hao Gang put his arm around her waist and said softly, "No rush."

After he finished speaking, he pulled her onto his lap, lowered his head, and kissed her.

Peng Xiaowan nervously placed her hands on his chest, feeling somewhat shy and instinctively wanting to push him away.

But considering that he was leaving in a couple of days and didn't know when he would be back, she let him start to "act recklessly".

"Why are you being so well-behaved today? Aren't you shy anymore?" Hao Gang asked with a smile after noticing that Peng Xiaowan's shoulders had relaxed.

Ever since they got married, she has been incredibly shy every time they do this kind of thing.

Although they didn't finish their wedding night because he was drunk.

But he made up for it the next day.

The first time, she even closed her eyes and didn't dare to look at him, so she just closed her eyes and put her hands in front of her chest.

Hao Gang also liked her shyness. He was always afraid of scaring her, so he would gently restrain himself.

But tonight, he didn't want to restrain himself anymore.

Hearing Hao Gang's words, Peng Xiaowan blushed and gently pushed him.

"Wait a minute, let me change my clothes."

Hao Gang: "..."

"Why change clothes now? Change them later when you're done."

He was all set, but his wife wanted to change clothes. This was just too much for him.

"No, I want to change now." After saying that, Peng Xiaowan pushed Hao Gang away and got up to get clothes from the closet.

She hasn't even worn the lingerie she bought with Wenrou at the department store last time.

She was conservative by nature, and although Wenrou looked very nice in her clothes, she never dared to wear them out, afraid that someone would recognize her and she would feel embarrassed.

Although she married Hao Gang, it was always Hao Gang who initiated that affair.

She felt even more embarrassed to wear such clothes in front of him, fearing that he might say something suggestive that would make her blush.

So she could only try it secretly when no one was home.

But tonight, she suddenly thought of that dress.

If I don't show it to him tonight, I don't know when I'll have another chance.

Xiaorou said that men all like this.

If this had happened in the past, Peng Xiaowan would have thought she was definitely crazy.

But today, for some reason, she must have been influenced by gentleness, because she started to become bolder.

Hao Gang could only wait for Peng Xiaowan to change her clothes. After she finished changing and came over, Hao Gang subconsciously looked up and stared at her, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Wife, you..."

Hao Gang stared at the person in front of him in disbelief. Was this really his wife?

"What's wrong?" Peng Xiaowan saw his shocked look and shyly covered her chest with her hand.

Seeing Hao Gang staring at her intently, Peng Xiaowan felt a pang of regret.

"Should I change back?" she said, turning around to change her clothes again.

After Hao Gang realized what was happening, he quickly got up from the bed, walked over, picked her up horizontally, and placed her on the bed.

"Don't change it, it looks great."

As Hao Gang spoke, he could no longer hold back and lowered his head to kiss Peng Xiaowan's neck.

He never expected his wife to wear such clothes. And the lingerie made her figure look even better.

In the past, he would never have imagined that his wife would be so bold.

Before Peng Xiaowan could even ask him if he liked it, he immediately showed through his actions that he not only liked it, but liked it terribly.

He used to always restrain himself in these kinds of situations, but today, he completely lost control.

Peng Xiaowan eventually fainted from his torment. When she woke up the next day, she was so ashamed of what had happened that she covered herself with the blanket.

"Honey, I'm going to the army. I've already cooked your meal and left it in the pot. I'll go to the school later to ask for a day off for you. Get some rest," Hao Gang said with a satisfied look on his face as he left.

Peng Xiaowan responded softly, and only after Hao Gang left did she stand up, supporting her waist.

Hao Gang's application was approved by his superiors quickly, but Zhou Dayong, who applied at the same time, was not so lucky.

His application was stuck at the point with Huo Yanchuan, who did not approve it.

When Zhou Dayong learned of this, he was so angry that he went straight to their door.

"Huo Yanchuan, come out here."

Wenrou was at home comforting her daughter when she heard the noise. She went outside and saw Zhou Dayong standing at her door, looking like a shrew.

"Zhou Dayong, what are you doing?" Wenrou looked at her daughter, who had finally been coaxed to sleep, and was woken up by Zhou Dayong's shout. Her expression was not very good.

Zhou Dayong looked at Wenrou and said, "I'm looking for Huo Yanchuan. Tell him to come out."

Wenrou looked at Zhou Dayong as if he were a lunatic. "Go find him at the army base. He's not home yet. If you shout at my door again, I'll never forgive you."

Looking at the child in Wenrou's arms, Zhou Dayong thought that he should have had a child too, but unfortunately Shen Qingshuang had a miscarriage, otherwise his child would have been born soon.

Thinking of this, Zhou Dayong's face turned even uglier.

This mission was originally a good opportunity for him to make a name for himself, but in the end his application didn't even pass Huo Yanchuan's test.

He certainly had reason to suspect that Huo Yanchuan was settling a personal score.

He just didn't want Wenrou to get credit for what happened between them.

"What's wrong?" Just as Zhou Dayong was about to go to the army to find Huo Yanchuan, his voice rang out from behind him.

As soon as Huo Yanchuan and Hao Gang entered the family compound, they saw Zhou Dayong standing in front of his house, talking to Wenrou.

Upon seeing Huo Yanchuan return, Zhou Dayong immediately questioned him, "Huo Yanchuan, on what grounds did you reject my application report?"

Huo Yanchuan looked at him coldly and gave a reason on the spot: "You are not qualified."

"I'm not qualified? Then why is Hao Gang qualified? Huo Yanchuan, as the regimental commander, it's one thing to settle personal scores, but now you're showing such favoritism towards your subordinates. Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the General Military Region?"

Zhou Dayong pointed at Hao Gang, refusing to believe that his skills were inferior to Hao Gang's.

Huo Yanchuan frowned. He was originally supposed to go, but now it had become a spot that Zhou Dayong and several other battalion commanders were vying for.

Did they really think this mission would be so easy to complete?

Are they all so eager to make a name for themselves?

As Zhou Dayong and Hao Gang's superior, he did have some opinions about Zhou Dayong for personal reasons.

However, he had carefully considered who to send on this mission.

In his mind, Hao Gang was reliable and steady, and more suitable than Zhou Dayong, which is why he rejected Zhou Dayong's application.

He just didn't expect that Zhou Dayong would want to take this opportunity to make a contribution.

"I'm not showing favoritism to anyone. Based on the mistakes you made before, I can't let you go. This is the result of discussions among the higher-ups."

Huo Yanchuan didn't want to pay any attention to Zhou Dayong. After he finished speaking, he walked towards Wenrou, took his daughter from her arms, and held her in his arms.

"I admit I made some minor mistakes before, but I made up for them by performing meritorious service last time. Political Commissar Zhao said I could go, so why don't you agree? Aren't you afraid I'll report everything you've done to the General Military Region? If you don't want me to have an easy time, I won't let you have an easy time either."

Zhou Dayong was going all out this time; he didn't want to waste such a good opportunity to make a name for himself.

In his view, Huo Yanchuan's desire to stop him from going was simply to pave the way for his good brother Hao Gang.

He was afraid that if he made a contribution, he would be overshadowed.

Upon hearing Zhou Dayong's words, Huo Yanchuan's face darkened, and he raised his foot, kicking Zhou Dayong away without any mercy.

"Who do you think you are, to think you can actually threaten me?"

Huo Yanchuan never took Zhou Dayong seriously. He was holding a child in his arms, but that didn't stop him from beating Zhou Dayong.

When Shen Qingshuang saw that Zhou Dayong had been beaten, she rushed over and helped him up from the ground.

"Huo Yanchuan, what right do you have to hit someone? Even if you're Da Yong's superior, you can't just hit someone for no reason!"

Huo Yanchuan glanced at the two of them, worried that they might frighten his daughter, and coldly warned them one last time, "Get out of here."

Wenrou finally understood why Zhou Dayong was so angry when his application to perform meritorious service was rejected by Huo Yanchuan.

"Let's go home." Huo Yanchuan reached out and took Wenrou's hand, carrying his daughter in his other arm, and walked towards home.

Zhou Dayong was still unconvinced, so he got up and went to the military base again.

"Did you really reject Zhou Dayong's application? He just said he was going to report you to the General Military Region. Will he be in trouble?" Wenrou asked worriedly after they got home.

Huo Yanchuan walked into the house, picked up his other daughter and comforted her, saying to Wenrou, "It's okay, don't worry."

"You're not really taking revenge for me, are you? Is that why you stopped Zhou Dayong because of me?" Wenrou asked again.

"In your eyes, is your man such a petty person?" Huo Yanchuan felt a little jealous when he heard Wenrou ask this question.

She glanced at him gently. "Who knows?"

When a man gets petty, his pettiness is smaller than the eye of a pin.

Although he didn't say it, Wenrou was certain that he was definitely bothered by what had happened between her and Zhou Dayong.

Once, when she mentioned Zhou Dayong's name in bed, the man went berserk and kept tormenting her.

"However, won't doing this make people think you're too biased towards Hao Gang? Zhou Dayong and Hao Gang are at the same level after all. If you don't let him go, and he complains to the leaders, will it really be okay?" Wenrou continued to ask.

She wasn't worried about Zhou Dayong; he had nothing to do with her, and whether he could make a contribution was even less of her concern.

She was just worried about the impact on Huo Yanchuan. What if Zhou Dayong really complained to the General Military Region?

"Zhou Dayong's personality isn't suited for this mission. Since he's so eager to make a name for himself, let him go. I'll tell the political commissar tomorrow," Huo Yanchuan said coldly after considering the matter.

I'm afraid that his eagerness to make a name for himself might influence others.

But he's already made a scene here. If he still doesn't agree and detains the person, his superiors will come and ask him to release them.
