Chapter 23 He's jealous.
Hao Gang could tell from Huo Yanchuan's expression that he was jealous.
No, who said before that he lived in the military dormitory and didn't go home often?
How could you forget so quickly after only a few days?
"It was my sister-in-law who let me in," Hao Gang quickly explained, knowing his commander's temper.
Wenrou heard the sound and came out to see Huo Yanchuan returning. She then echoed Hao Gang's words, saying, "Yes, I made a lot of food today, and he hadn't eaten yet, so I asked him to come over."
Seeing that Wenrou had already said that, Huo Yanchuan didn't say anything more, but just glanced at Hao Gang.
Hao Gang clearly sensed the warning in her eyes, so he quickly finished the noodles in his bowl and said to Wenrou, "Sister-in-law, I have something to do at the army, I have to go now."
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Wenrou to say anything and just slipped away, afraid that if he was any later, he would be called away by Huo Tuan for training tomorrow.
"Huh? Why are you in such a hurry?" Wenrou came out when she heard the noise, but the person was nowhere to be seen.
He usually eats two bowls, but today he only ate one bowl and then ran off.
Seeing this, Huo Yanchuan said, "Don't worry about him. He has hands and feet, so we don't need to worry about his meals anymore."
Wenrou found it strange; why did she get the feeling that Huo Yanchuan had some kind of problem with Hao Gang?
"How can you, a regimental commander, be so petty? He doesn't eat that much food." Wenrou thought Huo Yanchuan was complaining that Hao Gang ate too much, and couldn't help but say.
Huo Yanchuan: "..."
He was gently scolded, and not knowing how to explain, he could only shut up.
"I just heard Hao Gang say that you like smoked fish noodles. Why don't you try it and see if it tastes like what you're thinking?" Wenrou turned around and went to the kitchen to bring Huo Yanchuan a bowl of noodles.
Upon seeing this, Huo Yanchuan sat down.
Looking at the smoked fish noodles in front of me, I subconsciously asked, "How did you learn to make these noodles?"
He remembered that Wenrou and Zhou Dayong were from the same place; they were both from Qinshi, true northerners. How could they make southern noodles?
"There's a really good cook in our village. I heard his ancestors even cooked for people in the imperial kitchen. I learned from him," Wenrou casually made up an excuse.
I can't exactly tell him that I learned it in my past life; he probably wouldn't believe me anyway.
Huo Yanchuan looked at her, but he didn't suspect anything.
He picked up a mouthful of noodles and ate it. The taste was almost identical to what he ate when he was a child, and even better than what his mother made.
Perhaps he was really hungry, because Huo Yanchuan finished a bowl of noodles in just a few bites.
Seeing this, Wenrou served him a second bowl.
He even finished the soup by the end, which shows how delicious Wenrou's cooking was.
After finishing his meal, he finally got down to business with Wenrou.
"The military plans to cultivate a piece of land in this family compound area, and each household will be allocated a piece of land to make it easier for everyone to grow crops."
This was done because everyone is currently idle, and it's not good for them to be making noise all day.
Furthermore, with people from nearby villages actively joining the program, as military dependents, they should set an example and take action.
"That would be wonderful! It would be great to be able to eat food that we grow ourselves." Wenrou readily agreed.
Although she hasn't been here long, she already considers this place her home.
Huo Yanchuan had initially worried that she wouldn't adapt to life here, but now it seems he had worried unnecessarily.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Huo Yanchuan walked over and opened the door, where he saw his subordinates, Company Commander Zhu and Zhu Chao, standing at the door.
"Commander Huo, you have to stand up for me. I don't know what your husband said to my wife today, but now she's making a scene at home." Zhu Chao complained as soon as he saw Huo Yanchuan.
His family used to be perfectly fine, but now his wife is making such a fuss that she's almost divorcing him.
This is all thanks to gentleness.
If this matter isn't resolved, what will he do in the future?
Huo Yanchuan was also puzzled. He didn't know how Wenrou had gotten involved in Zhu Chao's family affairs.
At this moment, Wenrou heard the noise and came out. When she saw Company Commander Zhu and Aunt Zhu not far behind him, she understood what was going on.
"Since you've come looking for me, I have to have a serious talk with you. Are you even a man? Your wife was bullied by your mother, she has so many injuries, are you blind? Can't you see that?"
Wenrou gets furious whenever this is mentioned. This man doesn't protect his wife; instead, he comes over and questions her.
If she hadn't intervened, who knows what kind of beating Wang's wife would have received?
We're both women, so I didn't say anything before because she couldn't see it, but now that she can see it, I have to care.
Zhu Chao didn't expect Wenrou to be so eloquent, nor did he expect that he, who was originally in the right, would end up being scolded by her.
Huo Yanchuan had figured it out. He had heard about Zhu Chao's family affairs before, but he thought they were just family matters, and as his superior, he couldn't interfere.
But hearing these things from Wenrou today, I realized that Zhu Chao's family situation had become so serious.
His face darkened, and his aura turned several degrees colder.
Zhu Chao glanced at Huo Yanchuan. Although he didn't say anything, he felt a chill creep down his spine.
Hearing Wenrou's words from not far behind Zhu Chao, Aunt Zhu hurriedly stepped forward, pointed at Wenrou, and complained, "It was you! You're the one who instigated my daughter-in-law to come home and cause trouble for me. Not only did you interfere in our family affairs, but you also hit me!"
Zhu Chao was even more furious when he heard that Wenrou had actually hit his mother.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to Wenrou, "No matter what, this is my family matter. Even if you are Huo Tuan's lover, you shouldn't be meddling in this."
"If it's not a family matter, then it's okay to interfere?" Wenrou asked directly when she saw Zhu Chao still saying that at this point.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Chao asked, looking puzzled.
Looking at the gentle-looking woman, Aunt Zhu suddenly had a bad feeling.
Just then, Wenrou glanced at Huo Yanchuan, then pointed at Aunt Zhu and said, "I want to report that Aunt Zhu is colluding with human traffickers and trying to sell her own granddaughter. Sister-in-law Wang also knows about this."
"You...you shouldn't talk nonsense, I didn't say that." Aunt Zhu hurriedly retorted upon hearing Wenrou's words.
At this moment, Sister Wang also came over and pointed out, following the gentle words, "Zhu Chao, take a good look, this is your mother. I was afraid of affecting you, so I didn't tell you before. These days she has been trying to find ways to sell Xiaoya."
Zhu Chao was stunned when he heard about this. At this moment, Huo Yanchuan looked at him with a serious expression and said coldly, "As a military family member, if you have any dealings with human traffickers, you can forget about wearing this military uniform."
