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

Chapter 303 "A Good Tongue"

After that, Hengbao's playful nature subsided a bit, and he set aside an hour each day to do his homework.

After the two brothers finished writing, they went to Gu Chenghuai on their own initiative to ask their father to show it to them.

The homework at this time is very basic, not as difficult as in later generations, making it easy for children and worry-free for parents.

Gu Chenghuai only needs a few minutes to finish looking at his two sons' homework.

Lin Zhao didn't need to interfere at all.

That evening, after dinner, Gu Chenghuai asked his wife to go for a walk, and Lin Zhao happily agreed.

The twins weren't home; they went to Ning's house again, saying they wanted to sleep with Cat Egg tonight.

Neither of them had any objections.

With the child away from home, the couple has it so much easier; they don't even have to put the child to sleep, and they can do whatever they want.

As the sun sets, it paints most of the sky orange-red.

There weren't many people on the road, but you could occasionally see a few children running around, making quite a commotion.

"Kids have so much energy," Lin Zhao sighed.

Gu Chenghuai glanced over, and a big kid met his eyes, his body visibly stiffening. He called to his underlings and quickly moved to another spot.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao's forehead was covered in question marks.

"Huh? Why did they all run away?"

Gu Chenghuai said indifferently, "I don't know, I probably have to go back and do my homework."

Lin Zhao suddenly realized, "Oh, I need to hurry up and write it, or I'll have to make up my homework."

She felt that this was a rare quality in the military, and remarked, "I found that the military is quite good. The children are disciplined and organized, there are many other children around, and it's less of a hassle."

Seeing that his wife enjoyed military life, Gu Chenghuai's stern face softened with a smile, and he was in a very good mood.

Unfortunately, his good mood didn't last long, and he was soon affected by others.

"Battalion Commander Gu?" Bai Taohua appeared a few steps away, her two daughters standing obediently beside her, politely greeting him.

Lin Zhao, the Invisible Man: "..."

really interesting.

Gu Chenghuai frowned and ignored him.

When he first arrived at the military region, he was considered a troublemaker by the instructors. He acted and spoke as he pleased, showing no respect to anyone.

For the sake of his wife's reputation, Bai Taohua didn't say anything to mock her for being blind, which shows his good upbringing.

"Wife, shall we continue spinning?" Battalion Commander Gu, with his usually cold face, looked at his wife with an indescribable tenderness in his eyes.

"Go ahead and turn, why not?" Lin Zhao smiled, clearly not taking Bai Taohua seriously.

The couple ignored Bai Taohua, but Bai Taohua was not so self-aware or embarrassed. As if she had just noticed Lin Zhao, she covered her mouth and giggled, saying in a low voice, "This must be my sister-in-law, right? It's my fault, I didn't even see her. I deserve a beating, I really deserve a beating!"

She lightly patted her face twice, blaming her two daughters without any sense of reproach.

"You two too! My eyesight got worse from doing needlework, and now yours is too? Is this how I taught you?! Get back to someone!"

Bai Taohua isn't exactly a morally upright person, so how could the children she teaches possibly be any better?

The two little girls looked at Lin Zhao with dissatisfaction and provocation, and reluctantly called her "Aunt Lin".

Lin Zhao was a talkative person who would speak her mind if she was unhappy, so she immediately said, "There's no need to force yourself like that."

The two girls surnamed Bai immediately glared at each other, their expressions indignant.

The younger one pointed at Lin Zhao and shouted, "You vixen!"

When Bai Taohua set her sights on the promising Battalion Commander Gu, she often told her two daughters... that they were going to have a new father, a tall and handsome man with a promising future, a high salary, and who would protect them...

Upon learning that Lin Zhao was coming to visit, Bai Taohua threw a tantrum at home that day, uttering many unpleasant words, all of which were overheard by her two daughters.

This led to the scene where the little girl confronted Lin Zhao.

Before Lin Zhao could speak, Gu Chenghuai's eyes darkened. His cold gaze swept over Bai Taohua and fixed on the two little girls. His face was devoid of warmth, and his voice was frosty. "Where did you learn to swear? Apologize to my wife!"

He had been to the battlefield, and even when he suppressed his aura, the children in the family compound would avoid him like the plague. But now, his aura was completely unrestrained, scaring the two Bai sisters into trembling.

The little girl who was cursing didn't dare to move, tears streaming down her face, her body pressed against her sister, trembling like a leaf.

Seeing Gu Chenghuai's cold face, Bai Taohua was also afraid. She hurriedly stood in front of her daughter and forced a smile, "The child is still young and doesn't understand. I apologize on her behalf."

She looked at Lin Zhao apologetically, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, the child's father is gone, there's no one to raise her..."

Before Bai Lianhua could even finish her attempt to show weakness, Lin Zhao interrupted her with a smile, casually asking, "Is the child's father gone, and the mother half-dead too?"

Bai Taohua was taken aback by her words, her mind went blank for a moment, and a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

Lin Zhao's gaze was indifferent, and her voice was unhurried, "Although I've just arrived, I've heard what the sisters-in-law say about your two girls: hardworking, sensible, sweet-talking... I don't see any of these positive comments. She just opens her mouth and calls a stranger a vixen. Where did she learn that?"

"This is a disgrace to the hero's reputation..."

Zhang Ping happened to overhear these words.

Zhang Ping: "!!"

What a silver tongue!

She was speechless when she first saw the white peach blossom.

“Yes,” Zhang Ping said loudly, walking over to Lin Zhao and standing opposite the Bai mother and daughter. Her tone rose, “Lin Zhao has only been here for less than a month. Where does your daughter’s malice come from?”

"Bai Taohua, did you say something unpleasant at home that your daughter overheard and copied you, then told Lin Meizi about it!" Although the tone was questioning, the words were spoken with great certainty.

Zhang Ping and Bai Taohua are enemies. She may not know the man in her bed well, but she knows her enemy inside and out.

—White peach blossoms may appear gentle, but they are actually full of bad intentions. It's not impossible that they will reveal their true colors at home.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Ping raised her voice even louder, "That must be it! Bai Taohua, I know you too well. You have a dark heart, you can't stand seeing others do well, you're disgusting, I despise you!"

Lin Meizi was standing next to her, but she was too embarrassed to mention the news she had heard before, about Bai Jianren having her eye on Battalion Commander Gu.

Zhang Ping had spoken to Bai Taohua many times and knew that she was a smooth talker. She spoke very quickly when talking to Bai Taohua, leaving Bai Taohua no chance to get a word in edgewise.

Bai Taohua covered her face, her body trembling, and cried out in a choked voice, "My husband, why did you leave so early, leaving your wife and daughter to be insulted? Life is so hard. I should have gone with my husband back then."

Her two daughters cried along with her.

Seeing this man pull the same trick again, Zhang Ping's eyelids twitched, a bad feeling creeping over her. Sure enough, her husband approached, glancing at Zhang Ping with displeasure before looking at Bai Taohua. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Did Zhang Ping bully you again? Tell me, if she bullies you again, I'll divorce this vicious woman!"

Bai Taohua glanced timidly at Zhang Ping, shaking her head with tears streaming down her face. "No, sister-in-law didn't bully me. It's me... I shouldn't be alive. Sister-in-law misunderstood me. I don't blame her..."

Zhang Ping's husband angrily retorted, "Sister-in-law, don't speak up for her! She's a vicious woman. If it weren't for our children, I would have divorced her long ago!"

The man and woman, one a connoisseur of tea, the other a scoundrel, made Lin Zhao frown as he listened to their conversation.

"I said..." Comrade Lin, who was straightforward, couldn't help but interrupt the two of them, "There are other people here, you guys are really not treating us like outsiders."

His gaze swept over the two of them, with a scrutinizing and probing look in his eyes. "I'm new here. If I hadn't known beforehand... I would have thought you two were a couple."

That was practically a killer statement.

Who would dare not cherish their reputation?
The two tacitly distanced themselves from each other.

Bai Taohua burst into tears, her voice filled with despair, "Sister Lin, how could you say such a thing to me? You're trying to force me to my death..."

"In such a short time, the word 'death' has circled around your mouth several times. I'm very curious, Comrade Bai, do you have a habit of using death to manipulate people?" Lin Zhao impatiently interrupted her sobbing.

Those around them thought about it carefully and realized it seemed to be true.

Zhang Ping was furious because the man sided with Bai Taohua. Seeing Lin Zhao's barrage of insults, she excitedly grabbed Lin Zhao's hand and said, "Sister Lin, I'm not good with words, I can't talk as well as you. That's just how it is. Bai Taohua is good at crying, she can make even the wrong seem right through her tears."

Thinking back on the past, she felt a lump in her throat and spoke her heartbreaking story: "When I was about to give birth to my baby, my husband was called away by Bai Taohua. I collapsed in the snow, bleeding profusely, and almost died. If it weren't for my sisters-in-law's help, the grass on my grave would be several meters high by now. My poor baby was stuck in my belly for too long, and was born looking sickly. Is it wrong for me to hate Bai Taohua?!"

Zhang Ping looked at the onlookers and shouted, "Why do you call me a shrew? Do you think I have no tolerance? Tolerance my ass! I don't believe that if your children turned out like that, you would greet Bai Taohua with a smile!"

She pointed at the white peach blossom and poured out all the grievances she had held for years, "Just because she can cry, just because she lost her man, I have to swallow all my grievances, why?!"

Speaking of what happened back then, Zhang Ping's body was trembling, because of anger, but even more so because of guilt towards her child.

The fact that her enemy was doing so well tormented her heart every moment.

Zhang Ping's husband said impatiently, "Why are you still talking about this now? Can't you just stop being so petty? Your stinky ass can run and jump all the time."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chenghuai couldn't help but retort, "Shut up!"

He looked at Zhang Ping's husband, his calm voice concealing a well-hidden sarcasm and coldness, "You're a husband and a father, can't you take some responsibility?"

Honestly, even a passerby couldn't stand it.

His wife was so upset, and instead of comforting her, he even complained. What kind of man is he?!
Thank goodness he wasn't one of his soldiers, otherwise he would have trained him to death to wake him up. Damn it, Chun Chun has been eating too much!
Lin Zhao's eyes showed admiration.

As expected of the man she chose, look, even righteous and evil sword immortals would be reduced to ashes if they came near.

Gu Chenghuai caught a glimpse of Zhaozhao's gaze, and his expression nearly faltered.

What an adorable wife.

The onlookers whispered among themselves.

"Is that so? Why would they protect an outsider instead of their own wife? Anyone who didn't know better would think they were having an affair."

"Sister Zhang really had a tough time. Her baby cries were so weak when she was born, like a kitten, and she almost died..."

"Sister-in-law Bai does cry a lot."

Some people had long seen through Bai Taohua's unusual nature and snorted, "It's strange, isn't it? When Sister-in-law Bai has something to do, she doesn't call any of the young men, but insists on calling men with families. Is it because the young men can't be called? If they can't be called, we'll have to report this to our superiors. The leaders say they want to build a harmonious and loving military environment, and such indifference won't do..."

"They're very efficient!" The woman, who had received help from the young soldiers, couldn't help but say. "Those young men are quick and hardworking. Whenever we need help, they're always there to lend a hand."

"Yes, yes, when I first came to join the military, my husband was away on a mission, and two young men helped us."

The young soldiers are all enthusiastic, so where is the problem?
As a result, everyone stopped looking at Bai Taohua with such intense gaze.

Bai Taohua knew perfectly well that her reputation had been ruined, and her heart sank as she stared at Lin Zhao with resentment in her eyes.

Gu Chenghuai was very perceptive; his cold gaze shot over, and Bai Taohua quickly lowered her head, her mind completely blank.

This scene also caught the attention of those around them.

One of the women punched the man next to her hard and yelled, "Look! A real man knows how to protect his wife! You used to criticize me because of Bai Taohua, you heartless bastard, Chen Shimei!"

Her husband gave a pleading laugh and said in a low voice, "How was I supposed to know she was like that? I always listened to you and stayed away from people, to save face for your man."

"Hmph, you'll be washing clothes for the next two weeks," the woman said, seizing the opportunity to make her demands.

"to make."

Bai Taohua lost all face and dignity, so she left when no one was looking.

Zhang Ping glanced at it, pretending not to see it.

Today, the disguise of the white peach blossom was torn away, and the pent-up anger in my chest eased a bit.

She looked at Lin Zhao with her red eyes and said enviously, "Lin, you are so lucky. Battalion Commander Gu is a smart man. You didn't marry the wrong person."

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law's life will only get better and better."

Today is over, shouldn't that man with a shitty brain wake up a bit?
Zhang Ping smiled bitterly, not mentioning her husband, and only said, "Yes, my eldest and second sons have grown up and know how to care for their mother. With them around, I have hope for the future."

She almost completely denied the value of her man.

The clueless man broke down completely, asking, "Zhang Ping, what do you mean?"

He sneered, "So you're saying I haven't contributed anything to this family?"

Zhang Ping ignored it.

The man's anger, which had been building up in his chest, surged higher and higher until he roared furiously, "Speak! What does it mean to not speak! If we can get through this, then let's get through it; if not, then forget it!"

Gu Chenghuai turned to cover his wife's ears, his eyes filled with displeasure. "Keep your voice down, you're disturbing my wife! We're outside, not at your house."

Zhang Ping's man choked, "..."

He turned and left in anger.

Gu Chenghuai thought he was clueless, and he also thought that Gu Chenghuai was obsessed with women and had no heroic spirit at all.

Lin Zhao pulled down Gu Chenghuai's hand, nudged the man with her elbow, and praised, "Well done!"

Gu Chenghuai thought to himself that he genuinely found the person noisy and somewhat brain-dead. By the way, he learned the word "brain-dead" from Zhaozhao, and he understood it as someone with a mental illness.

That's very apt.

The news reached Qian Guiying's ears, and she said to her husband with a reproachful tone, "I told you we shouldn't have kept her here, it would cause trouble. Look at all the trouble she's caused!"

Qian Guiying felt at first glance that Bai Taohua's eyes were too lively and that he was not a peaceful person, and this was indeed proven to be true later.

The person has already stayed, and I can't send them away without a proper reason. It's really worrying. Today's incident... might be an opportunity?
