She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

Huo Xiuyuan looked at Shen Tang with a deep gaze and said in a low voice:

"It's okay if you can't answer, just pay attention. Sit down!"

Shen Tang's gaze was so direct that it made him feel flustered, and he almost didn't know how to continue speaking.

Huo Xiuyuan wasn't trying to make things difficult for her; he was just reminding her to pay attention in class.

Shen Tang straightened his back and said loudly:

"From a humanitarian perspective, treating prisoners of war well is the right thing to do. But I'd like to say something from a more realistic perspective—"

The classroom fell silent, and everyone looked at Shen Tang.

She continued, "The enemy on the battlefield is first and foremost 'human beings.' They also feel fear and long for home. If we let them know that they can live, eat their fill, and write home after laying down their guns—their will to fight will crumble. That's strategy."

She paused, then added, "Chairman Mao said that 'disintegrating the enemy's army' is one of the three major principles of our army. Treating prisoners of war well is the best way to disintegrate them."

"Wow—Shen Tang, you're amazing!" Zhao Wenjing was the first to applaud.

Then everyone started clapping, and Yang Xinyue clenched her fists.

How could Shen Tang know so much? Compared to her remarks, my own thinking was too superficial.

Huo Xiuyuan looked at her in shock, somewhat incredulous.

How did a rural girl with little education come to know these things?

Moreover, what she said was reasonable and well-founded, and she even knew the three major principles.

Shen Tang smiled and raised her chin. After all, she was preparing to become a representative of the National People's Congress before she transmigrated into the book.

This is a required course.

"Excellent and comprehensive," Huo Xiuyuan praised. "Sit down!"

Shen Tang winked at Huo Xiuyuan, who coughed lightly and continued lecturing.

Sun Qian frowned and whispered, "Hmph, it must be Commander Huo giving her private tutoring."

Sun Qian's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

"You, stand up," Huo Xiuyuan said, pointing at Sun Qian.

Sun Qian stood up hesitantly.

"Say what you just said again," Huo Xiuyuan said coldly.

"I...I didn't say anything..."

Sun Qian kept her head down, not daring to look at Huo Xiuyuan at all.

Commander Huo's aura was so powerful that it made her feel a little suffocated.

"Gossiping and shirking responsibility. A person with that kind of character shouldn't be in the performing arts troupe." Huo Xiuyuan's voice was icy, and his eyes were sharp.

"I...I was wrong," Sun Qian quickly apologized. "I shouldn't have made those wild guesses."

"Stand and listen to the lecture, copy what's taught in this lesson three times, and hand it in tomorrow," Huo Xiuyuan said coldly. "I've said it before, character is more important than ability!"

Sun Qian was like a mute eating bitter herbs, unable to express her suffering.

Sun Qian borrowed Yang Xinyue's notes and started copying them after class, until her hands and neck ached from copying.

She had never written so many words in her entire life.

She hurriedly ate dinner, then came back and continued copying.

Zhao Wenjing leaned over to take a look, frowned, and said, "This scribbles, will Commander Huo approve it?"

Sun Qian glared at her fiercely, "It's none of your business."

After dinner, Yang Xinyue kept looking in the mirror, changing her clothes one after another.

Liu Ping looked at Yang Xinyue and said enviously, "Xinyue, all your clothes are so beautiful!"

Liu Ping's parents were farmers, and she was the only one in her family to move to the city.

She sends most of her salary home, leaving her with no money to buy clothes.

Yang Xinyue smiled and turned around: "Does this look good?"

Yang Xinyue was wearing a white dress with small pink flowers, which made her look exceptionally delicate.

"Yes, it looks good." Liu Ping praised sincerely.

Yang Xinyue sat down at the table and began to comb her hair.

Zhao Wenjing looked at her coldly, "What? Are you going to meet your lover?"

Zhao Wenjing doesn't like Yang Xinyue.

She looks harmless, yet she has an ambiguous relationship with another woman's husband; in ancient times, this would have resulted in her being drowned in a pig cage.

Yang Xinyue ignored her and pretended not to hear, continuing to put the hair clip on her head.

Zhao Wenjing looked at her and thought to herself.

The training institute for this performing arts troupe requires a report to be submitted before going out during the day; and for their safety, it closes early at night.

Is Yang Xinyue dressed like this because she's planning to climb over the wall and get out?

Zhao Wenjing's eyes darted around, then she got up and went out to find Shen Tang.

Shen Tang was making clothes in Ge Aihua's courtyard.

She had promised to make a dress for Ge Aihua and Huo Xiuyuan, but hadn't finished it yet. Now that she had some time, she came over.

She designed a skirt suit for Ge Aihua, the length of which reached her knees, so that it was neither dignified nor stiff.

After reviewing the design draft, Ge Aihua quickly bought the fabric, and Shen Tang wanted to make it as soon as possible.

"Shen Tang, I have something to tell you."

Zhao Wenjing whispered her guess in Shen Tang's ear.

Shen Tang raised an eyebrow.

I haven't even gotten revenge for the sewing needle incident yet, and she's practically offering herself up for me?

Yang Xinyue looks so quiet and gentle, how could she be so bold as to secretly meet with Lu Jingshen at night?

Shen Tang's original goal was to get rid of the scumbag and focus on her career; she never intended to fight with Yang Xinyue.

But now that Yang Xinyue has declared war, she can't just sit and wait to die.

A smile appeared on Shen Tang's lips.

Then let's spend some time playing with them.

"Shen Tang, what are you grinning about? Yang Xinyue is trying to steal your man!" Zhao Wenjing said anxiously.

"Keep an eye on her. I'll go with you and we'll catch her in the act," Zhao Wenjing said, patting her chest.

Shen Tang smiled and said, "We're not going to catch someone cheating, we're just going to watch the fun."

Zhao Wenjing looked puzzled. She reached out and touched Shen Tang's forehead.

"You don't have a fever either?"

Shen Tang took her hand and asked, "Do you think Lu Jingshen is a good man?"

"Of course not!" Zhao Wenjing frowned. "What good man would eat what he has while eyeing what he doesn't?"

"So, I don't plan to keep him," Shen Tang said, "but we can't just let those two cheaters get away with it so easily."

Zhao Wenjing was too lazy to think, so she simply said, "Whatever you say, we'll do."

"Go back now, don't make a fuss, and play it by ear."

Zhao Wenjing responded and returned to her dormitory.

Shen Tang's eyes darkened.

If she directly exposes their affair, although it will embarrass them, the damage will be minimal. They can get married eventually, and over time, they'll still be a loving couple.

She's going to play a big game, making them lose everything.

As darkness fell, everyone went to bed.

Sun Qian was still hunched over the table copying notes when Yang Xinyue gently tugged at her and whispered:

"Sun Qian, my stomach hurts, come with me to the outhouse."

Zhao Wenjing suddenly opened her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curved up.

They're going to have an affair!

"Oh, wait a minute, I still have one more time!" Sun Qian said impatiently.

Yang Xinyue bit her lip and said, "We can copy it when we get back, there's no time now."

Sun Qian glanced at her and stood up helplessly.

The two left the dormitory together.

Zhao Wenjing immediately stood up and peered out from the doorway.

Shen Tang got out of bed. "I ate too much for dinner, let's go digest."

Zhao Wenjing exclaimed excitedly, "I'm going too!"
