Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiuer also shoveled a few pieces of meat into her bowl and quickly followed to watch the excitement.

How could Aunt Wang and Uncle Ding miss out on such a spectacle? The group quickly ordered their food, grabbed their bowls, and rushed out. Guo Mingyuan could only sigh, holding his little girl, "Come on, little girl, eat your meat, let's not go join the fun, okay?"

Outside the courtyard stood Wang Lili and her father, Deputy Division Commander Wang, both looking distressed. Wang Lili even looked rather disheveled, as if she had been severely scolded.

And Chen Yuchun and her mother. Chen's mother curiously sized up Zhou Yanshen and Su Wanqing who had followed them out, while quietly saying to Chen Yuchun, "This Comrade Zhou is a good one. He's good-looking and has been promoted to deputy division commander. I only heard from your father today that deputy division commanders are promoted by suppressing their merits. You must make sure you hold onto such a good person."

Chen Yuchun whispered, "I want to too, but he already has a wife."

Chen's mother said with some regret, "Let's see. Maybe the two of them aren't a good match."

As they were talking, Zhou Yanshen and Su Wanqing came out, followed by a large group of people.

When Deputy Division Commander Wang saw the person come out, he slapped Wang Lili several times, saying as he did so, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. It's all because the child was ignorant and almost ruined the reputation of Comrade Zhou and Comrade Su. I've already given her a good talking-to when I got back, and she knows she was wrong. Please, both of you, be magnanimous and don't hold it against her. If she dares to cause trouble again, I'll be the first to object."

He's really scared now—he was promoted to deputy division commander just before retirement, while Zhou Yanshen was promoted to deputy division commander despite having his achievements suppressed. The two are not even in the same league.

His spendthrift daughter had offended someone; the person had only been there two days and had already gone around the compound complaining to all the leaders. He was almost driven crazy by this and just hoped that being humble and submissive today would make the person quiet down.

Zhou Yanshen said calmly, "I'm apologizing to my wife."

Deputy Division Commander Wang quickly smiled apologetically: "Yes, yes, it's to apologize to Comrade Su. What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to Comrade Su. You should learn from him. He's someone who has made great contributions. I heard he's a leader at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and made great contributions in his original place as well. Unlike you, who stays at home all day without even a job."

Wang Lili's eyes were red as she reluctantly stepped forward. Looking at the crowd of onlookers behind Su Wanqing, she felt utterly humiliated: "I'm sorry, Comrade Su, I was reckless these past two days. I shouldn't have incited everyone to cause trouble, and I shouldn't have spread rumors to slander you and Comrade Zhou. I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again."

Su Wanqing gave a light "hmm": "It's okay. I don't usually hold grudges, but I hope you remember that public property is no one's private property. Don't treat the organization's territory as your own backyard. Instead of eyeing other people's houses and land, you should think more about how to contribute to the organization. You're still young, so broaden your horizons and focus your energy on the right things."

Chen Xiuer and Aunt Wang secretly gave a thumbs up from behind.

Just then, Aunt Xie from next door and Commander Li also came over. Aunt Xie said, "Tell me, if you had apologized earlier, wouldn't everything have been fine? You had to make a scene until Comrade Zhou complained before you were willing to back down."

Wang Lili gritted her teeth in anger, but couldn't refute him. She glanced at Zhou Yanshen and thought that this man was too petty—he had only asked a few people to argue, and today he was complaining everywhere. Such a small matter had made the higher-ups personally reprimand her father and make her apologize in person. Was it really necessary?

Zhou Yanshen nodded indifferently, then looked at Chen Yuchun. His eyes clearly said: She's apologized, now it's your turn.

Chen Yuchun suddenly felt hot and embarrassed, her face flushed.

With so many people watching, how could she—the daughter of a high-ranking military commander—apologize to a country woman? She couldn't do it!

Chen's mother tugged at Chen Yuchun's sleeve and immediately said, "Oh dear, this matter is partly Yuchun's fault. But Yuchun meant well. You two don't know, Yuchun has lived in this military compound since she was little. She's a kind-hearted girl who wouldn't even step on an ant. She's a doctor, and she's always doing good deeds to treat and save lives. This time, she was instigated by someone; she didn't do it on purpose..."

In short, it probably wasn't her daughter's fault.

Zhou Yanshen's eyes turned cold: "It seems I haven't reported enough to the organization. I'll go back now and write a detailed report, and resubmit it tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuchun panicked, and so did her mother.

Today's incident reached Commander Li's ears, making him lose face. He came back furious and immediately ordered them to come and apologize. If they come again tomorrow...

Chen's mother quickly said, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Comrade Zhou. It's all our fault for not educating our child properly. Comrade Su, please forgive us. It was all a misunderstanding. Yu Chun is young and doesn't know any better. She will definitely be more careful in the future. Please forgive her for her good intentions. I will definitely discipline her properly and never let her cause you any more trouble."

Su Wanqing ate her rice while watching Chen's mother perform her monologue.

Zhou Yanshen stared at Chen Yuchun from the side, his eyes pressing: "Comrade Chen, please apologize in person."

Chen Yuchun bit her lip and finally said unwillingly, "I'm sorry, I was reckless this time..." By the end, her eyes were red, as if everyone had bullied her.

Seeing this, Chen's mother felt sorry for her and simply moved closer to her: "Look, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Now that we all know each other and are neighbors, we'll see each other all the time in this residential area. We'll have to look out for each other in the future. Oh, Comrade Zhou, your wife's belly is quite big. If she needs to give birth, you can find Yu Chun. She's a doctor at the military hospital, and her skills are amazing. Usually, people can't get an appointment with her."

Aunt Xie chuckled, "Old Chen's family, don't make me laugh here. Dr. Su is a deputy chief physician on secondment at the military hospital, her title is several levels higher than your daughter's. She's a miracle doctor, why would she need your daughter to give birth?"

Chen's mother looked at her daughter with a shocked expression. Chen Yuchun nodded awkwardly and tried to pull her mother away quickly—it was too embarrassing!

Chen's mother's face instantly turned ugly, but she was pushed away by Aunt Xie:

"Alright, alright, stop with the small talk. We have serious business to discuss. Dr. Su, my son came to talk to you about something. Our military canteen doesn't have much food in the winter. My son talked to Old Zhang in the logistics department today, and the other party immediately said that oyster mushrooms are a great thing, and they can't even be bought from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It would be great if you could supply them, and he's willing to sign a contract with you."
