After transmigrating into the body of the female supporting character's biological mother, she

"I don't accept things like reading an apology letter, like before."

Song Fang has read apology letters before, but she just doesn't learn her lesson.

This is also why Lin Zhilan took direct action this time.

For these thick-skinned people, reading an apology letter on the radio is probably like tickling an itch; they feel no fear whatsoever.

Song Fang and Cai Laifeng didn't seem to care much.

They don't have jobs, so what can we do to them, whether we punish them or not?

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a glance and remained silent.

Political Commissar Zhuang knew exactly what was going on.

He had heard the whole story.

It was indeed wrong of Lin Zhilan to smash things and hit people, but there were reasons for it.

Su Lang is still in the hospital, and Xu Yueyun has suffered a heart attack. Anyone would be anxious in that situation.

He favored Lin Zhilan, but as the leader, he had to follow the rules, so he could only give both sides equal blame.

Political Commissar Zhuang pondered for a moment, then made the decision: "Fighting, regardless of whether you're right or wrong, is wrong. Dr. Lin, go back and write a self-criticism and submit it."

Lin Zhilan nodded without arguing.

"As for you..." Political Commissar Zhuang's gaze fell on Song Fang and Cai Laifeng's hands, "You deliberately spread false information and provoked the patient's family. This is a life-threatening act! Our army cannot tolerate this kind of evil practice. You are not employed, but Zhou Jianjun is an active-duty soldier. This punishment will be borne by Zhou Jianjun."

Zhou Jianjun's expression changed.

Political Commissar Zhuang continued, "Battalion Commander Zhou, go back and make a public apology in front of the entire battalion. I will report this matter to your regiment, and we will discuss the specific punishment later."

When Cai Laifeng heard that her son had been implicated, she immediately exploded.

She plopped down on the ground, her legs digging into the earth. "My God! Is it easy for my son to be a soldier? Why are you punishing him? He wasn't even in the fight! If you want to punish someone, do it to me!"

"That's enough!"

Political Commissar Zhuang slammed his hand on the table, causing the teacups to jump.

His voice was filled with barely suppressed anger, "Zhou Jianjun, aren't you going to take your mother back home? You have ambition, but you should also encourage your family. The army isn't a place for you to fool around and throw tantrums, and you absolutely cannot have any thoughts of harming others!"

Zhou Jianjun, his face stiff, bent down to help Cai Laifeng.

When he put his arm around his mother's arm, he used a little force, and his eyes were frighteningly deep.

As soon as Cai Laifeng met her son's gaze, her crying immediately subsided.

She shrank back, no longer daring to cause trouble, and stood up sheepishly.

Zhou Jianjun was unhappy.

He thought that at most, Song Fang and Cai Laifeng would have to apologize, or like Grandma Ma, they would be sent back to their hometown and that would be the end of it.

He never expected that he would be the one to be punished.

This is a real stain on his record.

The year-end performance evaluation and commendation may fall through, and future promotions are also in doubt.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jianjun's gaze towards Lin Zhilan changed.

As soon as he stepped out of the office, Zhou Jianjun said to Lin Zhilan, "Dr. Lin, my mother and Song Fang are being unreasonable and have caused you trouble. Next time, if you need anything, just come to me directly. There's no need to make such a fuss. You're a respectable person; why make things so ugly? Right?"

Lin Zhilan had already planned to leave with Wang Rou, but stopped when she heard this.

"What does Dr. Lin think?" Zhou Jianjun asked with a smile.

Lin Zhilan stared at him for two seconds.

Then he raised his hand, and with a "slap," a crisp and loud slap landed squarely on Zhou Jianjun's face.

Everyone in the corridor was stunned.

Zhou Jianjun subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, looking at Lin Zhilan in disbelief.

Lin Zhilan withdrew her hand and slowly smoothed the hair that had fallen around her ears, her movements elegant and composed.

She turned her head to look at Political Commissar Zhuang who had come out, and said with a smile, "Political Commissar Zhuang, I hit someone again. The punishment can be more severe. I will follow the organization's arrangements."

Political Commissar Zhuang opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Cai Laifeng was stunned by Lin Zhilan's move and it took him a while to react. He tried to grab her again but was stopped by the soldiers next to him.

Lin Zhilan glanced at the family with disdain and pulled Wang Rou home.

Cai Laifeng continued to cause trouble, demanding that the leaders arrest Lin Zhilan and put her in jail.

Commissar Zhuang's head was throbbing from her nagging, and his tone was clearly impatient. "How we punish her is our business. If you two hadn't stirred up trouble, how would things have escalated to this point? Don't you have any self-awareness?!"

Cai Laifeng was so startled by the shout that she took a step back, her lips twitching slightly as she looked at her son.

Zhou Jianjun kept his head down and didn't say anything.

Lin Zhilan pulled Wang Rou back home. Su Bingcheng came out of his room when he heard the noise. He was stunned when he saw the injuries on their faces and bodies. "What happened? Did you fight?"

"Um..." Lin Zhilan said a little embarrassedly, "I'll just play casually."

Su Bingcheng: "..."

After Lin Zhilan and Wang Rou finished applying medicine to each other, Su Bingcheng also learned the whole story from his daughter-in-law.

Su Bingcheng said with a dark face, "This family is utterly shameless! Don't go next time, let this old man go instead! Aren't they just taking advantage of their age? I'm an old man too, and I don't have a job! I'm not afraid of anyone with nothing to lose, I'll beat them up every time I see them!"

"Dad," Lin Zhilan chuckled, "their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both women, and you still hit women?"

Su Bingcheng's eyes reddened. "They're trying to kill your mother, why should I care if they're women or not?"

The old man was truly furious.

Lin Zhilan and Wang Rou exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and patted his back. "Don't be angry anymore, old man. Except for their little baby, I beat up their whole family. Isn't that enough to vent your anger?"

Su Bingcheng shook his head, "Look at your injuries. You've injured the enemy a thousand, but you've also lost eight hundred of your own. What a loss, a huge loss!"

Lin Zhilan was both amused and exasperated. "I know, Dad. Next time I go to fight, I'll definitely call you."

Su Bingcheng sighed, "Is Su Lang really alright?"

Lin Zhilan's smile faded. "He's not in any immediate danger. He was stabbed twice in the abdomen, and his spleen was removed."

Su Bingcheng patted his knees twice with his large hands. "It's alright. As long as people are alive, that's the best thing that can happen."

"Yes," Lin Zhilan replied.

"Your mom seems to be awake!"

Before Lin Zhilan could react, Su Bingcheng rushed into the room.

"Yueyun, are you alright?"

"Old Su, where's Zhilan? Call her over here for me." As soon as Xu Yueyun opened his eyes, he immediately looked around for Lin Zhilan.

Lin Zhilan quickly went inside, took her hand, and said, "Mom, I'm here."

"Zhilan, how is Xiaolang?"

"Su Lang is fine. He should have been transferred to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department by now. Shall I go with you to see him?"

"Okay, okay." Xu Yueyun nodded hurriedly.

"Zhilan, your mother's health condition..." Su Bingcheng hesitated before speaking.
