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

Chapter 51, Episode 0051: The Innocent Liu Huai
The old lady wasn't very magnanimous to begin with, and when she got back, she was scolded by Deputy Commander You, who was feeling sorry for her daughter-in-law after listening to her complaints. So the old lady started to resent Liu Huai, whom no normal person would have any connection to.

The old lady's hometown is a place with a strong culture of whistleblowing, but at this point, she really hadn't thought about reporting Liu Huai.

First, the atmosphere in the military is different. What is a soldier? They are brothers who can rely on each other in times of crisis. Reporting goes against their core values. Not only do the soldiers hate it, but the leaders also hate it. Although there are no explicit orders to prohibit it, everyone is not stupid.

Secondly, the old lady still needed to get money from Deputy Regiment Commander You to support her son's family. Although Deputy Regiment Commander You was filial, he was not blindly obedient. If the old lady offended him, he would really be ruthless and drive her away. She was afraid.

Most importantly, the old lady was confident that she could control Deputy Regiment Commander You's wife, Mao Dahua. Deputy Regiment Commander You was either at work or on missions, and he was rarely at home. If she could control Dahua, then the old lady would be in charge of the household.

Deputy Regiment Commander You and his wife both favored sons over daughters, and the old lady was even more so.

Before Mao Dahua went to join the army, her three daughters were born in her hometown. The old lady always talked about her, calling her a hen that couldn't lay eggs, saying that she had cut off Deputy Regiment Commander You's lineage, and often threatening to divorce her.

Mao Dahua was already a person who favored sons over daughters. After the old lady's actions, she felt even more guilty for not leaving a child for her man. She felt even less confident and afraid that the old lady would really divorce her.

So she lived like a child bride in the countryside, doing the most work, eating the least food, and being the family's punching bag. She didn't dare tell her husband about her grievances.

But things are different now. Everyone says this pregnancy will be a boy, so Mao Dahua is starting to feel more confident and assertive.

She was still afraid of the old lady, so she didn't dare to resist her at all, but she had the confidence to complain to Deputy Regiment Commander You.

Deputy Regiment Commander You was not blindly filial to his parents. When he heard his wife say that the money he worked so hard to earn and the good things he asked his comrades to buy for him were all sent back to their hometown by his parents, he was shocked to learn that his pregnant wife had not enjoyed a single penny or eaten a single bite of the good things that her parents had bought for her.

He was furious and personally started tidying up the old lady's things, grabbing her and trying to get rid of her.

The old lady was terrified by him and repeatedly promised that she would never do that again and that she would take good care of Mao Dahua.

Hua Dahua was already more than eight months pregnant and was about to give birth. She did need someone by her side. After Deputy Regiment Commander You threatened the old lady, he stopped insisting that she be driven away.

The old lady was indeed frightened and dared not continue to plunder things from her hometown. Moreover, Deputy Regiment Commander You had entrusted all the money and tickets to his resourceful eldest daughter, so the old lady couldn't plunder anything.

After finishing his pear, Liu Huai washed his hands and sat down. He continued, with a somewhat complicated expression, "A while ago, the old lady's eldest grandson from her hometown caused trouble. He bullied a young educated youth. That educated youth was a tough nut to crack and insisted on accusing him of rape. The village officials intervened and talked for a long time before they finally reached an agreement. This year, their village's quota for returning to the city was given to that educated youth, and the old lady's family also compensated the female educated youth with five hundred yuan."

The old lady's family was basically supported by Deputy Regiment Commander You. Where would they get five hundred yuan on their own?
So they went to the old lady for help.

But the old lady's power to manage the household was taken away, and she couldn't touch a single penny. All she had left was less than ten yuan that she had saved when she was in charge of the household.

Just as the old lady was anxiously trying to think of a solution, another telegram arrived from home, saying that her eldest grandson had been arrested.

At this point, the crime of rape would inevitably result in punishment, and the old lady, who doted on her eldest grandson, felt as if the sky had fallen.

Then, in a bizarre twist of her mind, the old lady directed all her hatred toward Liu Huai. She felt that if Liu Huai hadn't refused to give her malted milk powder, Mao Dahua wouldn't have blamed her for having malted milk powder to drink, and there wouldn't have been the incident of her being stripped of her power over the household. In that case, she would still have the few hundred yuan given to her by Deputy Regiment Commander You, and her eldest grandson wouldn't have been eating peanuts.

Although Lin Yuexi couldn't see any connection between them, the old lady's thought process was strangely inexplicably filled with hatred for Liu Huai—the kind of hatred that demanded he pay for her eldest grandson's life. Thus, a whistleblower letter appeared, devoid of any evidence and riddled with typos so numerous that it took a whole platoon of leaders a long time to decipher its general meaning.

Hearing this, Lin Yuexi didn't know whether she should be shocked or not. She realized that many of the gossip she'd heard since going to the countryside were completely unbelievable to a normal person...

I don't understand it, but I'm deeply shocked!
"So, the real purpose of the leaders inviting you is to stop this kind of trend."

Liu Huai nodded. "You Dayong has been demoted. Not only was he reduced from regimental level to battalion level, but he was also transferred to a civilian position. It won't be easy for him to get promoted in the future."

"Moreover, You Dayong is of a certain age. If he hadn't been demoted, he wouldn't have needed to be demobilized. Now that he's a battalion-level officer, his demobilization is only a matter of one or two years."

The old lady single-handedly ruined You Dayong's future.

Going on a mission makes all my comrades anxious and worried. It's ridiculous. We might as well all be sent home together.

After eating the melon Liu Huai brought back, Lin Yuexi returned the favor by telling Liu Huai about the melons from Aunt Wu's house.

After hearing this, Liu Huai's eyes lit up: "What a coincidence! When I passed by the commune on my way back, I saw Li Bing being arrested. I heard that the city sent people down to arrest him. He has a lot of charges against him, and he'll be punished severely."

"tell me the story."

"Okay, first of all, let me clarify that I don't know if what happened is true or not. I just heard it from the people around me while I was watching the show."

Lin Yuexi nodded with a smile. "Well, some gossip is true, some is false. Let's just enjoy it for fun."

"When I passed by, Li Bing had already been detained by people from the city committee. He was wearing a black leather jacket. Oh, right, he wasn't arrested at his own home."
Lin Yuexi: Exciting!

“I heard from people around me that everyone in the area knows about Li Bing and that young widow. Li Bing didn’t try to hide it. He just treated it like he had two wives. He would stay at home one day and stay at the young widow’s house the next day. He never avoided people when he came and went.”

Lin Yuexi: "Isn't Li Bing's wife going to take care of this?"

Liu Huai pursed his lips to show his contempt for Li Bing: "I heard that Li Bing's wife's family is not very good. Marrying Li Bing was no different from selling her to him. If she suffers grievances with Li Bing, no one from her family will stand up for her. On the contrary, they will only advise her to be obedient and honest."

Liu Huai continued in a cold, deep voice, "Li Bing broke both of his wife's legs. Of the two sons and one daughter his wife gave birth to, only the daughter stayed at home. The two sons were sent to a very remote rural area by him. People around said that when the two sons left, they had no luggage at all, and they left in tattered clothes with bare hands."

Did you understand?

When dating, you must first see clearly whether the other person is a good person or a bad one, otherwise not only will you suffer, but your children will also suffer!

Li Yuexi had absolutely no interest in dating and completely missed Liu Huai's good intentions. She exclaimed "Oh ho!" and cursed, "Scumbag."
