After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 109, Episode 0113: The Origin of the Injury
Lin Yuexi and Leng Xingchen both looked speechless, but they couldn't bring themselves to use this to rebuke Fang Jianshu.

This is how most common family relationships are now: men are the breadwinners and women are the homemakers. Men rarely care about household matters, and many won't even pick up a fallen oil bottle. Women, on the other hand, manage both the home and the outside world, whether they are working or not.

If a gay man stays at home all the time, he will be looked down upon.

Moreover, elders nowadays have a lot of power, and as long as parents don't go too far, it's not considered a big deal by outsiders.

Take Fang Jianshu's family as an example. If Zhang Xiaofang hadn't gone too far in letting her two sons rely on the charity of others, even if she often beat her children at home, no one would have thought she was wrong.

They often hear the saying: "There are no parents who are wrong."

No one thought there was anything wrong with Fang Jianshu, who was unaware of his family situation. Men are out there working hard, so why should they have to worry about their families?
Da Mao is already twelve years old. As for whether Fang Jianshu had noticed that the two children were not living well over the past ten years, Lin Yuexi and her brother felt it was unlikely that he hadn't. It was only possible that in Fang Jianshu's heart, the two children were not as important as his wife, so he selectively ignored them.

As for why he suddenly 'woke up' now?
As Fang Jianshu recounted his story, the brother and sister almost rolled their eyes at him without giving him any face.

It turned out that one of Fang Jianshu's comrades saw Zhang Xiaomang getting along very intimately with a male comrade. Fang Jianshu not only knew the male comrade but was also very familiar with him; he was Zhang Xiaomang's older brother, her own brother.

Given this relationship, Fang Jianshu didn't take it seriously at first. After all, they were siblings, and it seemed normal for them to be close to each other.

But men are men, and while they may understand, they still feel somewhat uncomfortable and unconsciously start observing them more closely.

Then Fang Jianshu himself also discovered that Zhang Xiaomang and her older brother's relationship was unusually close.

Fang Jianshu's romantic mind suddenly snapped out of its daze. He no longer viewed Zhang Xiaomang with any scruples. When he discovered that Zhang Xiaomang treated her older brother's children like treasures, but treated his two sons like dirt, he completely exploded.

Leng Xingchen: "If I haven't lost my mind, then it was Zhang Xiaomang's older brother who broke your leg, right?"

Lin Yuexi: "..."

What?
He silently clicked his tongue in his mind.

Who has ever had such a sudden and terrible breakup that they ended up in such a miserable state?

Seeing Lin Yuexi's curiosity, Leng Xingchen, who was feeling aggrieved for the two children, decided not to give Fang Jianshu any face anymore and told Lin Yuexi the whole story of Fang Jianshu's injury.

Fang Jianshu moved into the dormitory because he wanted to divorce Zhang Xiaomang. He didn't mention Zhang Xiaomang and her older brother, only the two children. As a result, several leaders disagreed with Fang Jianshu's decision to divorce, feeling that Zhang Xiaomang should be given another chance.

The news that the two were getting a divorce reached Zhang Xiaomang's family. Four days ago, in the afternoon, more than a dozen members of Zhang Xiaomang's family rushed to the military base to demand an explanation from Fang Jianshu.

"At the time, this fool only said that Zhang Xiaomang hadn't raised the two children well. Then the Zhang family members all chimed in with their own opinions, making it seem like they were in the right. They blamed the fool for neglecting his family, and they also blamed his parents for often taking their things as favors. In short, they said Zhang Xiaomang had a hard life, and that the fool was heartless to divorce her."

Fang Jianshu was honest and straightforward, and he couldn't argue with those people at all. He also didn't reveal Zhang Xiaomang's affair with her older brother, so the higher-ups couldn't take the initiative to intervene.

Then, as the Zhang family was talking, they started to fight. First, Zhang's mother tried to scratch Fang Jianshu, and Fang Jianshu raised his hand to block it. By sheer coincidence, this block knocked Zhang's mother to the ground. The Zhang family immediately said that if he could hit his mother-in-law, he must also beat and scold Zhang Xiaomang. They swarmed over and started punching and kicking Fang Jianshu.

If it weren't for the leaders and soldiers who were standing by and stopped him, Fang Jianshu wouldn't have gotten such minor injuries.
"No, this nature..."

Leng Xingchen frowned and nodded at her, "Dignity cannot be violated." Lin Yuexi understood; this meant that at least those members of the Zhang family who had acted at the time had been arrested.

"Are they really that clueless, or just plain stupid? What are they after?"

Just arguing, especially against someone like Fang Jianshu, might actually give the Zhang family an advantage. But to actually fight, especially inside the military...
Leng Xingchen couldn't help but roll her eyes this time, "I guess there was originally some kind of picture."

They were just too foolish to think that the army was like their rural hometown, and that it was just a family matter.

Fang Jianshu was so embarrassed that he almost buried his head in his chest. This time, he had completely lost face in the army.

Seeing his expression, Lin Yuexi was unsure whether she should tell him that Zhang Xiaomang was pregnant, as he seemed unaware of it.

After thinking about it, I decided to tell her anyway: her heart was truly biased, leaning towards the military.

"Um, when I came up, I ran into Zhang Xiaomang on the fourth floor."

Fourth floor?

Leng Xingchen's heart skipped a beat, and he looked sharply at his younger sister. Was that what he meant?

Fang Jianshu looked at Lin Yuexi in shock, the color draining from his face visibly.

The fourth floor houses the gastroenterology and gynecology departments, and at that moment, the only department the two of them could think of was gynecology.

Lin Yuexi felt a little pressured by the stares, but she still recounted what she had seen on the stairs.

"I think you should know this. If you're not at fault..." Lin Yuexi's gaze swept over Fang Jianshu's dangling leg, "Aren't you feeling aggrieved by this loss?"

It's not hard to guess what the Zhang family was thinking. Whether they knew Zhang Xiaomang was pregnant or not, they went to Fang Jianshu to reason with him because they wanted to gain the upper hand and put the Zhang family in the right first.

If they didn't know Zhang Xiaomang was pregnant, then it was for compensation. If they did know, Lin Yuexi guessed, it was to force Fang Jianshu to acknowledge the child in Zhang Xiaomang's belly.

However, this speculation is based on the premise, "Comrade Fang, is the child in Zhang Xiaomang's belly yours?"

Fang Jianshu, who had just been shocked, looked completely devastated. He didn't seem to understand the question at first, and after a while, he shook his head, his eyes red and his teeth clenched.

Lin Yuexi, lacking any empathy, voiced her speculation: "My brother said that if no one had stopped you in time, your injuries would have been much worse. But I see that your injuries aren't much less severe. Does this mean that the Zhang family attacked you with extreme force?"

It wasn't really just her family helping her vent her anger.

It's no wonder Lin Yuexi had this guess. Fang Jianshu is someone who often goes on missions, so his skills must be quite good. Even if many people from the Zhang family ganged up on him, even if Fang Jianshu only dodged and didn't fight back, they couldn't have broken Fang Jianshu's leg without using any real force.
Moreover, there were other leaders and soldiers present at the time. Whenever the Zhang family made a move, someone would step forward to stop them. The Fang family could only injure Fang Jianshu at the very beginning of the fight, before anyone could react.
