80s Military Accompanying: The Heirless Tycoon Pampers His Pregnant Wife

Seeing her so anxious was rare for Ye Zhengting, who couldn't help but chuckle. He looked up at her and asked, "If you were Chen Sanmei, would you secretly run back to the village alone?"

"No!" Shen Fenghe shook her head decisively without even thinking.

"Having experienced mudslides firsthand, and more than once, even adults would be terrified, let alone little kids. Who would dare to run back alone? Even if we wanted to go back, we would call an adult or bring three or five friends with us."

"Besides, Chen Sanmei is a bit timid. This morning, her mother went to get food, and she was too scared to go to the toilet alone, so she asked me to take her there."

"So, she wouldn't have sneaked out, but would have been hiding somewhere in the camp, though it probably wasn't Luo Cancan who hid her," Ye Zhengting analyzed, stroking his chin.

"Why?" Shen Fenghe asked, puzzled.

Ye Zhengting said, "She's timid. If Luo Cancan had really kept her hidden for so long, she would have run out by herself long ago. If she couldn't run out, she would definitely be crying her eyes out."

"You mean she hid herself? Why? Who is she hiding from?" Shen Fenghe was increasingly confused.

Ye Zhengting laughed, thinking she was too caught up in the situation to see clearly. "Didn't you ever play hide-and-seek when you were a kid?"

At dinner time, Chen Sanmei crawled out of a large, temporarily unclaimed wooden box and then searched all over the camp for Luo Cancan.

Upon seeing her, the adults breathed a sigh of relief, and her mother quickly pulled her aside to ask her about the whole story.

Just as Ye Zhengting had guessed, Shen Fenghe raised her elbow and nudged his arm, praising with a smile, "Commander Ye is not only physically strong, but also quite intelligent."

Ye Zhengting frowned, unable to tell whether it was a compliment or a dig at him.

"Where's that chubby lady? She said she'd give me the remaining half of the chocolate after we finished playing hide-and-seek."

Chen Sanmei was still thinking about the remaining half of the chocolate. She had been munching on the previous half for a long time; it was indeed very filling and delicious. She had never tasted such a delicious snack before.

"I'll get it for you!" Yu Li hurriedly replied, then rushed back to her tent, rummaged through Luo Cancan's pocket and pulled out the half-eaten chocolate that had already gone limp. When she handed it to Chen Sanmei, she deliberately raised her voice, "Cancan is really something, she's sick herself, but she still has to play games with Sanmei."

"She was playing hide-and-seek with my third sister, so why did she lie to my sister-in-law and go to the village to look for someone? In the end, she even fell into a mud pit herself. It looks like she tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead." Zhu Jing also raised her voice, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

Yu Li was speechless.

Suddenly noticing Shen Fenghe struggling with Ye Zhengting, her gaze darkened, and she loudly questioned, "Shen Fenghe, you went out with Cancan, how come she fell into the mud while you were unharmed?"

"Did you push her down?"

"Huh?" came a murmur of surprise.

Everyone looked at Shen Fenghe standing next to Ye Zhengting, their eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

"Yu Li, shut up!" Zhu Jing yelled, hands on her hips. "I already said Luo Cancan tried to steal a chicken but lost the bait. Didn't you study Chinese? Do I have to spell it out for you? Who pushed whom?"

"Tell me! You're just taking advantage of the fact that Can Can is sick and can't speak, deliberately throwing dirty water on her." Yu Li also put her hands on her hips.

"Why would I need to throw dirty water on her? She jumped into the mud herself; she doesn't need anyone else to smear her!" Zhu Jing sneered.

"you……"

I'll only say two things.

Just as Yu Li was about to start cursing in a fit of rage, she was interrupted by Shen Fenghe's voice, which was neither too loud nor too soft.

Shen Fenghe stepped forward and looked at Yu Li calmly. "Firstly, I was tricked out by Luo Cancan. Secondly, she knows the distribution of mud pits in the village better than I do."

After saying that, she stepped back and stood next to Ye Zhengting.

Two sentences silenced the surroundings and made it impossible for Yu Li to continue her argument.

Because nobody's a fool.

Back in the tent, Shen Fenghe and Ye Zhengting sat side by side on the bed and recounted to Zhu Jing, who was sitting in a folding chair, the whole process of how she was tricked out by Luo Cancan and almost pushed into the mud.

"She would have dared to make a move if it was just the two of us at the time, so there's no evidence to prove she pushed me."

"I'm so angry!" Zhu Jing clenched her fists, wishing she could rush into the two sisters' tent right now and beat Luo Cancan into a pulp.

"Forget it, disaster relief is the priority right now. Didn't Dr. Li say that we'll deal with Luo Cancan after we get back to the military region? She'll definitely be punished." Shen Fenghe comforted her.

"Yes, and she's reaping what she sowed, isn't she?" Ye Zhengting nodded in agreement.

"Brother! Are you just going to stand by and watch others bully your wife?" Zhu Jing was dissatisfied with Ye Zhengting's rational and calm attitude. "Aren't you angry? Don't you feel sorry for your wife?"

Ye Zhengting told her, "Your sister-in-law won't let anyone bully her."

"But you, you always explode at the slightest provocation, blowing your brain out, and in the end you can't solve anything," he scolded Zhu Jing again.

Zhu Jing became even more displeased and suddenly stood up. "If my sister-in-law were my wife, I would break a finger of anyone who dared to lay a finger on her!"

Ye Zhengting rubbed his forehead.

Shen Fenghe laughed.

"Hmph! Brother, you should be glad I'm your sister and not your brother, otherwise I would definitely try to steal your sister-in-law."

After saying that, Zhu Jing strode away, deliberately making a loud "clattering" sound as she slammed the tent door shut.

"That Zhu Jing! She's so outspoken, she says whatever comes to mind." Ye Zhengting smiled helplessly, then turned to Shen Fenghe and asked, "Do you feel wronged?"

"Mm." Shen Fenghe nodded.

Ye Zhengting frowned slightly. "Then what do you want me to do?"

Shen Fenghe said, "Move your butt. You've wrinkled all the clothes I'm going to wear tomorrow. I only brought this one change of clothes."

Ye Zhengting looked down and was stunned.

"Uh! Excuse me."

He quickly stood up, leaning on his cane, and said, "Let me iron it for you."

"Where did you get the iron?" Shen Fenghe asked.

"No need for an iron." Ye Zhengting waved his hand, first unfolding the shirt that he had sat on until it was wrinkled on the bed, and then using an enamel cup filled with hot water to smooth out the wrinkles.

"Isn't this just an iron?" Shen Fenghe smiled knowingly.

"Do you know how people in ancient times ironed their clothes?" Ye Zhengting turned to look at her.

Shen Fenghe asked uncertainly, "Like this too?"

Ye Zhengting nodded: "The principle is similar, both are for ironing, but you put red-hot charcoal into the iron and wait until the bottom is hot to the touch before using it. They call this kind of iron a 'fire iron'."

"Understood." Shen Fenghe bent down and used both hands to smooth out the area he had ironed several times to improve the ironing effect.

"When we get back, I'll take you to the department store in the city to buy new clothes," Ye Zhengting suddenly said.

He didn't look at her, nor did he stop moving his hands. His voice was very soft, like a gentle evening breeze that didn't stir any ripples in her heart...
