A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Seeing the siblings like this, Lu Congyue joked, "Why are you two looking like sick chickens with no energy at all? What? Did you sneak out to beat up Ge Jiangtao last night? Didn't you sleep?"

Shang groaned, pressing his hand against his head, "Don't even mention it. I drank too much last night, and my head is killing me when I woke up."

Shang Hua lowered his head and said, "I just didn't sleep well."

Monk Lu Congyue looked at her with suspicion for a moment.

Something's wrong! Something's really wrong!

When did Shang Hua start speaking in such a soft voice?

"What happened last night?" Shang asked immediately.

Shang Hua's face turned red instantly.

She didn't sleep well last night. As soon as she fell asleep, she had a dream, and in her dream, she saw Peng Wanzhou's big lump, and then...

She had a falling out with Ge Jiangtao before her divorce and has been celibate ever since. How could she have such an outrageous dream? It's utterly shameful.

"Oh my god..." Shang Jiang suddenly shouted, "Sis, you haven't made a mistake and gotten back together with Ge Jiangtao, have you?"

He had seen his sister with this lovesick look before, back when she was dating Ge Jiangtao. Every time Ge Jiangtao was mentioned, she would look like this, which gave him goosebumps.

Shang Hua snapped back to reality and slammed his hand on the table: "What nonsense are you spouting? I'd rather die than make up with him! That bastard, I'm going to report him to the political department today. He doesn't deserve to wear this uniform!"

Lu Congyue and the monk exchanged glances, realizing that something big must have happened.

Shang Hua suffered so much after marrying Ge Jiangtao, and even after the divorce, she never said she wanted to strip Ge Jiangtao of his military uniform. Now she's saying something like this, which means Ge Jiangtao must have done something to completely enrage her.

"Sister, what did he do?" Shang Jiang asked seriously.

Lu Congyue's expression also turned serious: "Did he come back to look for you after he left last night?"

This matter would come out sooner or later, so Shang Hua didn't hide it from them and told them that Ge Jiangtao had actually been staking out her home last night and had even harassed her.

Shang Jiang suddenly stood up, veins bulging on his forehead.

"That beast, I'm going to kill him!"

Lu Congyue's face turned ashen: "General Shang, calm down and listen to Sister Shang's instructions."

Shang Hua raised his hand and slapped Shang Jiang on the forehead: "You should at least learn from Yue! Always resorting to violence, do you think you're still young? None of you need to worry about this. I'll report him and get him fired!"

"Sister Shang, is it really possible for you to sue him? There were only the two of you at the time, and you have no evidence even if he denies it..." Lu Congyue frowned and reminded her.

Shang Hua froze, then coughed lightly: "I have a witness, Peng Wanzhou was there at the time, he saw it."

"Peng Wanzhou saw it? He just stood there watching? That bastard, I'll go teach him a lesson! Someone like him wants to be my brother-in-law? Dream on!" Shang Jiang was furious again.

Shang Hua rolled his eyes at him: "Did I just say nothing at all? Why are you so impulsive? If Peng Wanzhou had just stood by and watched, would I still be sitting here safely? He got into a fight with Ge Jiangtao last night and got injured."

Shang Jiang got scolded again, but he was used to it and continued to complain: "I already beat up Ge Jiangtao, how could he possibly get hurt? Useless piece of trash!"

Shang Hua looked at his bruised and swollen face, his lips twitching: "Are you sure you beat up Ge Jiangtao? Your face... it looks like he beat you up?"

He was still choking.

"If Shang Jiang is like this, Ge Jiangtao's condition is probably even more serious," Lu Congyue said. "It seems he'll have to take leave to recuperate at home for the next few days."

"Yes, that's right!" Shang Jiang immediately perked up. "You know me best. During the martial arts competition, I was evenly matched with Ge Jiangtao."

Lu Congyue and Shang Hua were too lazy to pay attention to him. Lu Congyue said seriously, "Sister Shang, Ge Jiangtao won't sit idly by. There will definitely be trouble later. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."

Shang Hua raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when Lu Congyue quickly added, "There are some things I can't help with, so don't force it."

He couldn't explain it too clearly in front of Shang Jiang, but Shang Hua could understand.

"What can't you help with? And you won't let my sister force me? What do you mean?" Shang Jiang sensed something was wrong and pressed for an answer.

"It's nothing, it's none of your business!" Shang Hua was too lazy to explain to him and said to Lu Congyue, "I know!"

Lu Congyue breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly took an envelope out of his pocket and placed it on the dining table.

"Sister Shang, this is the money I borrowed from you before, I'm returning it to you."

"You're asking my sister for money?" Shang Jiang shouted, his face full of indignation. "Did my sister lend you money? Sister, why won't you lend me money when I ask?"

Shang Hua picked up the envelope, opened it, glanced inside, and nodded: "I was going to say I didn't need to return it, but now... I'll take it."

"Sister!" Shang Jiang retorted, still unconvinced.

Shang Hua's face darkened, and she glared at him: "You spend all your time in the army, you don't have anywhere to spend money, and you don't even have a girlfriend... How come you've ended up asking me for money? Where has all your money gone?"

Upon seeing his sister's outburst, Shang Jiang shrank back and remained silent.

Shang Hua ignored him and asked Lu Congyue, "Why didn't you bring your wife and children?"

"They went out to see the sights. I came to deliver the money, and now that I've finished, I have to go find them."

After he finished speaking, he was about to take his leave when Shang Hua called out to him, "How many days are you staying?"

"I can stay for another three to five days, but I'm not sure, it depends on how the work progresses," Lu Congyue replied.

"Alright, I'll finish what I'm doing first and then go find your wife." Shang Hua nodded.

Lu Congyue became wary again: "Sister Shang, why do you keep bothering my wife? Didn't you always dislike her before?"

"Don't worry, I don't eat people!" Shang Hua scoffed. "I just think she's an interesting person and want to chat with her."

They wouldn't say what they were going to talk about, so Lu Congyue couldn't get any information out of them. He could only nervously say that he would bring Zhuang Qingxiang and the three children over when he had time.

After leaving the Shang family home, Lu Congyue wiped his sweat and sighed.

If my wife finds out that I made the trip without her permission, I wonder if she'll be angry when she wakes up...

Since Lu Congyue was an outsider, Shang Hua didn't want to involve him. After Lu Congyue left, Shang Hua took Shang Jiang with him to file a complaint.

Ge Jiangtao had taken three days off and was recuperating at home when someone came to call him to the political department.

"Looking for me? Something's up? I've already taken the day off."

Last night, he fought with Shang Jiang first, and then with Peng Wanzhou. When he came back, his face was bruised and swollen, which terrified his mother and sister-in-law, and his little nephew cried loudly in fear.

Fortunately, there were ointments and mercurochrome readily available at home. His sister-in-law applied the medicine for him, and it was estimated that the swelling would subside in three days. At this time, what did those people from the political department want to do by calling him over?

"Little Zhao," he called to the messenger, "do you know why I've been called over?"

Xiao Zhao said coldly, "You'll find out when you get there!"
