The mother of the era is reborn to support her cannon fodder children!

Chapter 283 "The Resilient Rose"

Gu Chenghuai saw it, and he also saw the train police officer next to his wife. He immediately felt that something must have happened.

Fortunately, it wasn't too crowded. He took a long stride and walked quickly toward his wife and children.

He looked at Lin Zhao as usual.

"Was the journey smooth?" Gu Chenghuai's eyes were gentle, his gaze fixed intently on his wife, so intense that it was impossible to look away.

"It went quite smoothly." Lin Zhao smiled. Having dealt with the enemies who had harmed Qian Bao in both her past and present lives, this trip was worthwhile.

She didn't mention the little incident, not wanting the twins to be so quick to speak.

Especially Hengbao.

"Daddy, a bad guy is bullying Mommy!" he babbled. "Mommy got slashed with a knife and is bleeding a lot! Daddy, you have to get revenge for Mommy, that bad guy is so wicked!!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chenghuai's face, which had been as warm as a spring breeze in March, instantly turned as cold as ice, his pupils deepened, and his appearance was truly terrifying.

He moved his arm, as if he wanted to put it on Lin Zhao's shoulder to check where she was injured, but then he was afraid that she had hurt her shoulder, so he withdrew his hand just before putting it down and cupped his wife's face in his hands.

"How did you get hurt? How could you get hurt just by riding in a car? Who hurt you...?" Gu Chenghuai asked anxiously, firing off a string of questions.

The young man, who was brave and invincible on the battlefield and never hesitated to kill the enemy, lost his composure at this moment.

Yu Bao said, "We encountered bad people on the train. My mom was scratched because she was trying to punish the bad guys! The doctor on the train applied medicine to my mom!"

Hearing that the medicine had been applied, Gu Chenghuai's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.

"Come on, let's go back to the unit and have Fourth Brother take a look at you." He put his arm around Lin Zhao's shoulder, carefully shielding her in front of him, and said in an unquestionable manner.

"Sun Yeli, take the luggage."

Sun Yeli quickly replied, "Don't worry!"

Lin Zhao was led forward a few steps. She stopped and used her good hand to hold her husband's arm. "Sister Tong was in the same carriage as us. She helped us a lot along the way. She's traveling with her child and is with the army. Let's go back together. It'll be good to have someone to help us on the way."

Gu Chenghuai stopped, instructed his two sons to keep an eye on their wives and prevent their mother from being hit by someone, then turned to get his own luggage.

“You help Sister Tong,” he said to his comrade.

Sun Yeli glanced at Gu Chenghuai smugly.

See? He just says he's very useful!
Without him, what would Gu Chenghuai do?
Sister-in-law Tong was with the army and had much more luggage than Lin Zhao. She was worried about what to do, but with the help of the soldiers, she was relieved.

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

Sun Yeli waved his hand generously, "Sister-in-law, you're too kind. It's just lending a hand, it's nothing."

To give the Gu family of four room to speak, they trailed behind.

"Sister-in-law, what's the deal with the bad guys Yu Bao and Heng Bao were talking about?" Sun Yeli asked curiously.

"Lin Meizi is a capable woman, she's really amazing!" Sister Tong praised her first, whetting Sun Yeli's appetite, and then vividly described how Lin Meizi fought against the human traffickers.

"Listen to me, this is what happened..."

She spoke with great passion, spittle flying everywhere, as if she had witnessed it herself.

After learning the whole story, Sun Yeli cast an admiring glance at Lin Zhao in front of him.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

When he first saw Gu Chenghuai's wife and child, he thought Lin Zhao was pretentious and had a lot of petty-bourgeois problems.

Who are they?

Stereotypes are deadly!
This is clearly a strong and resilient rose.

Catching a human trafficker can save so many families; Comrade Lin has done a great service.

Gu Chenghuai also learned about what happened on the train from the twins.

He looked at Lin Zhao disapprovingly, "You've already told the train police, why are you still interfering? What will I do if something happens? What will happen to our four kids?"

"Comrade Lin Xiaozhao, when we talked on the phone before, didn't I tell you not to meddle in other people's business and to protect yourself and Yu Baoheng?"

"You clearly promised..."

Even though he was furious, he stayed firmly by Lin Zhao's side, afraid that she would be touched by someone who didn't know any better.

He hadn't seen Zhao Zhao's arm injury, so it was impossible for him not to worry.

The two boys, in particular, said that the blood was flowing like a gushing stream.

"Stop reading, I'm about to faint..." Lin Zhao had just finished the car ride and felt lightheaded; she couldn't withstand such constant nagging.

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Chenghuai dropped his luggage, put his arm around his wife's shoulder, and asked, "Why are you almost fainting? Is it because of excessive blood loss?"

The young man bent down, put one hand under her knees and the other around her shoulder, and lifted her up in his arms.

"I'll carry you away, and when we get home, your fourth brother will take a look at you."

Before Lin Zhao could react, her body was suspended in mid-air, and she could hear the pounding of a heartbeat in her ears. She slightly raised her eyes and saw that someone's face, bathed in sunlight, was exceptionally handsome.

Realizing the location was inappropriate, she patted Gu Chenghuai's hard chest.

"...Put me down! We're outside!"

Thankfully there aren't many people around, otherwise it would be a real disaster.

Gu Chenghuai didn't let go; instead, he tightened his arms, bringing the soft body in his arms even closer to him. He held Lin Zhao's injured arm in place, saying, "Don't shake your arm, or the wound will reopen."

Knowing his wife was uncomfortable, he said to Sun Yeli and the others who were slowly catching up, "My wife is dizzy. I'll take her to the car first. Please watch my luggage for me, and I'll come back to get it later!"

Sun Yeli glanced at his comrade with a mischievous look and said loudly, "Go on, go on, we'll wait."

Gu Chenghuai led Lin Zhao to the black mid-size sedan, opened the door, and placed her in the seat.

"A military vehicle? Is that against regulations?" Lin Zhao shifted his position, enjoying the seat and finding the four wheels quite comfortable.

"Does your man look like someone who would break the rules? Don't worry, Cat Egg's dad lent me some money. We'll pay for the gas. We won't take advantage of public resources, and no one will say anything," Gu Chenghuai said calmly.

His wife and children had come from afar, so he had to do his best to make them comfortable.

I was already planning to borrow the car, but I didn't expect Chief Ning to offer to do so. Cat Egg wanted to borrow it too, but he didn't let me.

"That's good." Lin Zhao felt relieved and curiously touched everything around.

Gu Chenghuai leaned against the car door with his left hand, looking at his wife with a look of delight, his brows full of smiles.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Zhao glared at him and gave an order, "Hurry up and get your luggage. My and your two sons' daily necessities are all in there, as well as some food for you."

"I'm off now, thank you for your hard work, my wife." Gu Chenghuai left with light steps.

The twins were both misers, and fearing that their belongings would be stolen, they stayed where they were with Sun Yeli and the others.

By the time Gu Chenghuai reached the place where the luggage was kept, the two brothers and Sun Yeli had already become familiar with each other.

An adult and two children were talking with smiles on their faces, while a thin little boy watched them intently from the side.

"Dad!" Hengbao saw his father and immediately forgot about his new acquaintance, Uncle Sun.

"Where's my mom?" Yu Bao only cared about his mother.

"It's in the car," Gu Chenghuai replied, bending down to pick up his luggage and leaving the spot.

"You two stay close, or you'll get lost," he said.

The twins gripped their father's military green shirt, one on each side.

"Tear gently, don't mess up my clothes," Gu Chenghuai reminded his two sons.

He hadn't seen his wife in a long time, so he needed to be mindful of his image, otherwise Zhao Zhao might not like him anymore. Lin Zhao: "??"

A moment later, the twins saw a four-wheeled vehicle, and their identical eyes suddenly lit up.

"Dad, is this your car?" Hengbao asked loudly.

“Your dad isn’t that capable of using a military vehicle.” Gu Chenghuai glanced at his two sons and put their luggage away.

"Then keep up the good work, Dad!" Yu Bao said encouragingly.

He climbed into the car, and Hengbao followed his brother. After the two brothers got in, they didn't forget to pull Tongtong, whom they had only known for a few days, along. Tongtong was Tong's sister-in-law's son.

Sister Tong exclaimed, "Oh dear! I'm benefiting from Sister Lin's generosity; I even have a car..."

She was a straightforward and unreserved person, and she sat down with her sister-in-law.

"Yu Bao and Heng Bao, move over a bit, don't be so cocky!" Lin Zhao said to his two sons from the passenger seat.

The two brothers obediently shifted their butts.

Gu Chenghuai opened the driver's side door and got in.

"You can drive?" Lin Zhao blurted out.

Gu Chenghuai glanced at her with a smile, casually lighting his lighter. "What's so strange about it? I think I mentioned it to you before..."

"?!" Is there?

Lin Zhao forgot, "Is that so? Then I must have just overlooked it."

Gu Chenghuai glanced at her, his eyes calm and undisturbed, yet Lin Zhao could see a hint of resentment in them.

It's like saying: Are you still my wife? You don't care about me at all...

Lin Zhao glanced away guiltily.

"Cough..." She really didn't remember.

"With your abilities, it's not surprising that you can do anything." Lin Zhao turned slightly to the side and lowered her voice to coax someone.

The usually calm and composed Battalion Commander Gu was coaxed into pouting.

"Are you hungry?" he asked.

"It's alright." Lin Zhao hadn't showered for several days and felt terribly uncomfortable. Her immediate need was to take a shower. "Is there a place to shower?"

“We have one at home.” Gu Chenghuai didn’t mention how much effort he had put into building that separate bathroom.

"Hmm?" Lin Zhao was surprised, but her eyelids curved involuntarily, and her bright smile was more radiant than the flowers blooming by the roadside.

"Are you all ready?" she asked, her tone light and surprised.

Gu Chenghuai nodded, looking ahead as he drove. "Of course, if you're coming, I'll definitely have to be prepared. You've had a long and tiring journey, I can't let you clean up after yourself."

Zhao Zhao just arrived and doesn't know anyone. What should we do?
Besides, he couldn't bear to see his wife suffer.

Lin Zhao's heart softened, and her voice became gentler, "You have to train and clean the house all the time, it must be so hard for you. You should wait for me to clean it up."

"It's not tiring at all." Gu Chenghuai glanced at her, and just thinking about Zhaozhao coming filled him with energy. How could he be tired?
Lin Zhao understood his gaze, a smile curved her lips, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.

Sun Yeli: He shouldn't be in the car; he should be under the car.

Feeling that the wattage was too high, I tilted my head back, closed my eyes, and let my body sway left and right.

Getting married is nothing special, show off, Gu Chenghuai is such a heartless guy when it comes to women.

Less than an hour later, the car arrived at its destination. The unfamiliar faces in the car registered at the door, and Gu Chenghuai drove inside.

They drove straight to the family compound.

Upon seeing the car, the three children ran over.

"Yu Bao, Heng Bao!!!" Cat Egg's voice rang out, "Are Yu Bao and Heng Bao here?"

Upon hearing this, the twins rolled down the car window and excitedly waved their arms when they saw Cat Egg, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.

"Cat Egg!!"

"Cat Egg!!!"

After Sister Tong and the others got out of the car, clearing a path, the two brothers jumped off the car like cats, pounced on Maodan'er, and jumped around excitedly.

"Cat Egg, it's been so long since I've seen you! You've grown so tall!" Hengbao gestured. "Do you eat meat every meal? Otherwise, how could you grow so fast?"

"No," Cat Egg pondered, then answered his two friends' questions seriously. "It's probably because I'm a few years older than you and eat more, that's why I grew so fast."

The two Gu family boys exchanged a glance, their resolve to eat an extra bowl of rice at each meal only strengthened.

Cat Egg was also very happy to see Lin Zhao. The handsome and healthy little boy obediently greeted her, "Aunt Lin."

"It's Cat Egg, you've grown taller." Lin Zhao smiled. "I'm relieved to see you're doing well."

Cat Egg felt a warmth in its heart and offered to help carry the luggage.

At this moment, Meng Jiusi came out and said, "What are you doing standing at the door? Come inside."

Gu Chenghuai was worried about Lin Zhao's arm injury and said to him, "Fourth Brother, Zhao Zhao's arm is injured. Can you take a look?"

Lin Zhao couldn't help but glare at him.

That guy talks so fast! He's probably muttering to himself!
Meng Jiusi's gaze fell on Lin Zhao's arm, his face showing an eerie calm. "How did you get hurt?"

Now it was the twins' turn. They carried their luggage and recounted Lin Zhao's incredible feat once again.

"Trying to be a hero, huh? Come inside," Meng Jiusi said calmly.

After saying that, he turned and went into the house, his back view conveying a sense of impending doom.

Lin Zhao pinched her man and obediently followed.

Gu Chenghuai smiled.

It takes several people repeating it for Zhaozhao to remember.

In the courtyard, Meng Jiusi took out the family first-aid kit, which he had specially prepared for his brother-in-law's family just in case. Little did he know that they would need it so soon.

When he came out, Lin Zhao took off her white cotton-linen shirt, revealing a sleeveless long dress underneath, and the gauze on her arm was very noticeable.

Seeing that the young man was suppressing his emotions, she took the initiative to speak up, "Young man, don't be angry, there's a reason for this."

Meng Jiusi unwrapped the gauze from his sister's arm, and seeing that the wound was healing well, his expression improved slightly.

"You say it and I listen."

"He spoke, which means there's room for negotiation." Lin Zhao said angrily, "That human trafficker was the culprit who tried to abduct Qianbao! I finally found her, how can I let her escape, don't you think?"

Meng Jiusi: Yes, but we can't risk ourselves.

Lin Zhao continued, “At first I didn’t think of taking any risks and told the train police about it, but that villain was lucky and somehow managed to evade the train police’s search and ended up confronting me… I saw that she was trying to escape, and I thought I definitely couldn’t let her get away. If such a heinous person escaped, I don’t know how many families would be broken apart, so I… I rushed up to her.”

"I only went up because I was confident. You know I'm strong and know some martial arts, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone for it. I'm not tired of living."

Meng Jiusi applied the medicine powder she had prepared to her younger sister, and glanced at Lin Zhao when she had a moment, "You're so brave, how did you get injured?"

Lin Zhao: Is the young man mocking her?

I can't tell from her expression, so it probably isn't...?

"How was I supposed to know she was carrying a switchblade? So I... I was careless, really careless."
