Chapter 25 Huo Tuan is too protective of his own.
"You..." Zhou Dayong originally thought that with his intervention, Wenrou would at least restrain herself a bit, but he didn't expect her to be so arrogant.
"This is a military family compound. Aren't you afraid I'll report this to my superiors?" Zhou Dayong glared at Wenrou, suppressing the anger on his face.
Wenrou laughed when she heard his words. "Superior? Is the superior you're talking about my husband?"
Zhou Dayong blurted out something inappropriate, forgetting that Huo Yanchuan was now his superior, and his expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
"Big brother, what are you standing there for? Why don't you beat her up and avenge me?" Zhou Chunmei anxiously reminded him from the side.
If she can't beat Wenrou, can't she beat her older brother?
Zhou Dayong was wearing a military uniform. Did he not want the uniform anymore? And he still dared to hit someone?
"Shut up," Zhou Dayong shouted at Zhou Chunmei.
Wenrou started the fight, and they were in the right. If he had continued to retaliate, things would have been complicated.
He had just been disciplined last time, and this was a very sensitive time for him. He couldn't afford to make a mistake at this time.
"No matter what, you shouldn't have hit anyone. Apologize to my sister and my mother," Zhou Dayong said coldly to Wenrou.
Wenrou laughed when she saw that Zhou Dayong was actually ordering her around.
"An apology is out of the question. Not only that, I'll also make your family pay for my reputational damages."
The Zhou family not only spread rumors about her everywhere, but also manipulated her; she remembers all of these things.
She originally planned to settle accounts with them when she got back, but she didn't expect them to come here.
In that case, past accounts can be settled gradually.
"What do you mean by damage to reputation? I've already compensated you with two thousand yuan. What more do you want?"
Hearing Wenrou's gentle words, Zhou Dayong never imagined she could be so greedy.
"What? Two thousand yuan? You gave all my school money to that bitch Wenrou?" Zhou Chunmei immediately became agitated upon hearing this.
That was her money for attending nursing school, why should Wenrou take it?
Wenrou only just realized that the money Zhou Dayong gave her last time was actually raised by the Zhou family; however, it was also money she had given to the Zhou family.
Even the matter of Zhou Chunmei wanting to attend night school was persuaded by her to persuade Zhou Dayong's parents.
Over the years, if she hadn't been subsidizing the Zhou family, how could Zhou Chunmei have managed to finish junior high school?
As for applying to the nursing school, she had to pull a lot of strings and buy a lot of study materials for her before she could barely pass the exam.
Zhou Dayong's parents also favored sons over daughters, and they never supported Zhou Chunmei, a girl, going to school.
It is thanks to her perseverance that Zhou Chunmei is who she is today.
In her previous life, Zhou Chunmei graduated from a nursing school and later got a job at a top-tier hospital in the city through her connections. She also married a surgeon and lived a happy and fulfilling life.
Later, instead of being grateful to her, she felt ashamed of her and always looked down on her.
When she was finally squeezed dry by the Zhou family and driven out of her home, reduced to a beggar, Zhou Chunmei passed by without even glancing at her.
When she thinks about these things now, it's as if they just happened.
Without his help in this life, Zhou Chunmei's desire to continue her studies is probably just a pipe dream.
When He Cuihua heard that the two thousand yuan had gone into Wenrou's pocket, she was so angry that her chest ached. She was determined to find a way to get that money back.
"I don't care, you have to give me my money, or I won't leave." Zhou Chunmei clung to Zhou Dayong, pulling on his arm and crying incessantly.
Zhou Dayong's ears hurt from her noise, so he pulled his arm away and said impatiently, "Stop crying and shut up."
Seeing that Zhou Dayong wouldn't help her, Zhou Chunmei went to ask Wenrou for help herself.
"You bitch, that's my money! Give me back my money!" she said, lunging at Wenrou.
Just then, a large hand grabbed her arm and flung her away again.
Huo Yanchuan rushed over when he heard what had happened. Although he knew that Wenrou would never let him suffer, he couldn't help but worry for some reason.
As soon as she arrived, she saw someone rushing towards Wenrou, clenching their fists.
Without a second thought, Huo Yanchuan coldly grabbed the man next to him and threw him out.
Commander Huo was a well-known cold-faced tyrant and a tough guy in the army, and his strength was no less than that of a gentle man.
Zhou Chunmei was thrown two meters away and immediately fainted.
"Chunmei, my daughter, what's wrong? Don't scare your mother!" He Cuihua rushed over and cried out when she saw Zhou Chunmei faint.
"Are you alright?" Huo Yanchuan asked as he walked over to Wenrou.
Wenrou shook her head, looking at Zhou Chunmei who had already fainted in the distance with a shocked expression. She never expected that Huo Yanchuan would be even more ruthless than her.
He's used force, will he be alright?
"This is a military family compound. Let's see who dares to cause trouble here." Huo Yanchuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wenrou was alright. Then he looked around and his gaze fell on Zhou Dayong. His aura suddenly turned several degrees colder.
Seeing Huo Yanchuan openly protecting Wenrou, Zhou Dayong questioned with a gloomy face: "Commander Huo, even as the commander, you can't lay a hand on people? Those are my mother and my sister. They came all the way from so far away to see me. They were bullied like that by Wenrou just now, and now you've laid a hand on them. You have to give me an explanation for this, or I'll go to the political commissar and let him judge."
Zhou Dayong met Huo Yanchuan's cold gaze without the slightest fear.
Huo Yanchuan ignored Zhou Dayong's words. He turned to Wenrou, his tone even softening to a level he himself didn't realize, "Did you strike first?"
He was just asking casually; even if Wenrou had started it, he could have helped her deal with it.
When Wenrou met Huo Yanchuan's gaze, she felt that as long as he was there, there was nothing she couldn't handle.
She shook her head and pointed to Zhou Chunmei not far away, saying, "They provoked me and insulted me first; everyone else saw it."
Huo Yanchuan nodded, then ordered Hao Gang and the others behind him, "I now have reason to suspect that those two are suspicious individuals trying to infiltrate the family compound. They dare to insult military families with impunity; we need to investigate them thoroughly."
"Huo Yanchuan, what do you want to do?" Zhou Dayong was so angry when he heard Huo Yanchuan protecting Wenrou in front of so many people that he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Huo Yanchuan's collar.
Hao Gang, standing behind Huo Yanchuan, also changed his expression slightly. No, their commander is so protective of his own, is there really no one who can do anything about it?
No matter what, my sister-in-law did hit someone. Besides, things have already gotten to this point, so the best solution now is for them to apologize to each other privately.
But he also knew that with Wenrou's temper, it was probably impossible to get her to apologize.
