A domineering country girl flirts with her son, and Commander Huo can't resist.

"Gu Yu, stop arguing with Aunt Guo. We're young people, we should back down when necessary."

"Just let her buy it first. Otherwise, the two of you blocking the way is wasting everyone's time, don't you think?"

With just a few words, Lin Wan shifted the blame onto Le Guyu.

It was clearly Guo Caifeng who cut in line and acted unreasonably, but now it seems like Le Guyu is being petty, causing everyone to have to wait in the back.

Feeling the disapproving looks from everyone, Yue Guyu's face immediately turned red, and the corners of her mouth drooped down.

Just as she was trying to move aside so that Guo Caifeng could buy it.

Qiao An stepped forward.

She hates people who act superior because of their age the most. Others may spoil her, but Qiao An doesn't want to.

She bought all these things; if she doesn't sell them to Guo Caifeng, what can she do?

"Wait!" Joan grabbed Le Guyu's shoulder. "We've been waiting in line for so long, and she just cuts in line like that? Has she no shame?"

"Qiao An! What's it to you? Why are you everywhere?" Guo Caifeng pouted, her words filled with resentment.

Qiao An ignored her and instead looked at Lin Wan, "Lin Wan, since you're so kind, why don't you switch places with Guo Caifeng and let her line up with you? You can go and line up again."

"Why should I give it to her?" Lin Wan said subconsciously.

"Exactly! So why should Le Guyu let her cut in line?" Qiao An retorted. "Guo Caifeng is so old, and you're young. You should step back and give her your spot, then there won't be any problems. It won't waste everyone's time."

Lin Wan clenched her fists, too angry to speak. Qiao An always managed to stir up trouble for no reason and even use her own words to attack her.

Hearing Qiao An's words, Le Guyu felt more confident and remained motionless, refusing to give in.

"Joan, are you just jealous that we're doing well? There's only so much food on the truck, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I don't get any food today, I'm not letting you off the hook!"

"If you go and queue up now, you might be able to buy something. If you don't queue up, I guarantee you won't get a single thing!" Qiao Anfen said without backing down.

"Qiao An! Are you targeting me?" Guo Caifeng slammed the basin on the ground, put her hands on her hips, and started cursing.

"So what if I cut in line? It's better than you going out and doing those shady things, isn't it?"

The words of Guo Caifeng caused a great stir. Everyone forgot about the vegetables on the truck and turned their attention to Guo Caifeng.

"What did you say?" Qiao An really didn't know when she had started doing such shady things.

"Don't think everyone doesn't know. You've been away from the compound these past few days, and everyone's saying you went south to buy fertilizer."

Guo Caifeng spat on the ground, "Pah! You, a little woman, can buy so much fertilizer in just two days in the south? I don't know about other things, but I know a lot about fertilizer. I'm a country girl."

"These things are allocated according to plan; the commune gets exactly what it gets. How did you manage to get so much? Going out and flirting with other women while heavily pregnant, aren't you afraid your child will be born without an anus!"

"You filthy whore, ridden by a thousand men and stepped on by ten thousand, still trying to fool me..."

"—Smack!"

With a sharp crack, Guo Caifeng staggered and fell onto the back of the truck.

When Qiao An looked up, she saw Huo Jiyun, whose eyes were filled with anger and whose palms were slightly red.

My husband looks so cool when he hits someone.

Everyone was stunned; Huo Jiyun had actually hit Guo Caifeng.

It is important to know that soldiers must never fight with civilians; this is a major taboo.

What's more, the other party was an elderly woman over fifty years old.

Guo Caifeng covered her face, and only when the intense pain rose did she realize that she had been hit.

She had only been in the compound for two months when she was beaten up again, and each time it was by the Huo family.

Last time it was Qiao An; they're both women, so we let it go.

But this time it's Huo Jiyun!

Huo Jiyun is a soldier, how could he hit himself?

"They're hitting people! Soldiers are hitting people! This is outrageous!"

Guo Caifeng sat down on the ground, wailing and crying, slapping her thighs with both hands.

"Guo Caifeng, can't you be reasonable?!" Le Guyu couldn't stand it anymore. "Was what you just said even human language? We all heard you smearing Qiao An with your own dirty words, and you deserved that slap!"

"That's right! Even if you complain to Commander Wu, you won't listen!" Yue Na said angrily. She had never seen such a shameless person.

Li Shaoyun frowned. Guo Caifeng's words were utterly vile. Not to mention Huo Jiyun, even she, the women's director, wanted to grab Guo Caifeng by the hair and slap her a few times.

"Guo Caifeng, stop making a scene. If this gets out of hand, your son will lose face."

When her son was mentioned, Guo Caifeng didn't back down at all; on the contrary, she became even more enthusiastic.

"My son is also a regimental commander! Huo Jiyun hitting me in front of so many people is a slap in the face to Zeng Fushun!"

"Yes, Aunt Guo is so old. Even if she said something wrong, you can't hit her. That would damage the unity between the military and the people and affect the image of our soldiers."

"Besides, what Aunt Guo said makes sense. After all, who would believe it if a woman went to the south to buy fertilizer on her own?" said Lin Wan.

Huo Jiyun slowly turned his head, his sharp eyes fixed on her as if he wanted to poke holes in her.

Lin Wan's eyes twitched. Over the years, Huo Jiyun had always helped her and her son. Although he spoke coldly, he had never looked at her like that.

It was as if they would devour her alive at any moment.

"Husband," Qiao An called softly.

Huo Jiyun then turned around and said, "I'm sorry, I made you suffer."

He looked around, and finally his gaze fell on Guo Caifeng.

"I know who Qiao An is better than you do. I won't allow anyone to gossip about her. Today I only slapped you once."

"If there's a next time, I'll break your legs!"

Just as he finished speaking, Zeng Fushun and Xia Xiaoyun were walking home together, passing by the square.

Upon seeing her son, Guo Caifeng got up and ran over, pointing to her swollen face, "Son! That bastard Huo Jiyun hit me!"

"Look at my face! He's a soldier! How dare he!"

At the same time, Qi Yunsheng also returned.

Guo Caifeng became even more excited upon seeing him, "Boss! You have to stand up for me! Huo Jiyun hit me!"

Qi Yunsheng frowned; he disliked Guo Caifeng completely.

However, if Huo Jiyun assaulted a member of the public for no reason, he would definitely not escape the punishment he deserves.

"Huo Jiyun! What are you doing? This is my mother! Forget about her, what did she do to you that you want to hit her?"

"She's so old, if you hurt her and cause her any health problems, I'll never forgive you!"

Zeng Fushun was a filial son. He knew that his mother had spoken recklessly last time, but this time he heard Huo Jiyun say that he would break his mother's legs!

Even though Huo Jiyun has made outstanding military achievements, everyone is a regimental commander. Why should he treat his mother like this?

Xia Xiaoyun, who was standing to the side, touched her belly without saying a word, but instead moved a few steps to the side.

"Fu Shun, don't panic. We need to find out what happened first. I don't believe Commander Huo would hit someone for no reason."
