A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.

Li Jianjun didn't expect his sister-in-law to be so fierce; they started fighting before he could even exchange two sentences.

He's a soldier; if he were to lay a hand on his sister-in-law, he would lose all face if word got out!

After making those harsh words, Lin Yinyin asked, "Where is the hospital? I need to see my sister."

She had originally planned to take some malted milk powder and brown sugar mooncakes to visit Li's seriously ill father, but now it seemed completely unnecessary!

Those who disrespect their older sister are dreaming!

"I'll take you there." Seeing that Lin Yinyin was trying to avoid trouble, Li Jianjun didn't want to cause any more trouble.

He's always been someone who hates trouble!

"But first, come home with me to get two changes of clothes. Then I'll take you there."

"it is good."

Lin Yinyin had no objection; she also wanted to see what kind of life her sister was living!

Li Jianying sat on the ground, watching her brother ignore her. Her sobs gradually subsided, and she stared venomously at Lin Yinyin's back for a long time without looking away.

***

After passing two rows of neat brick houses, Li Jianjun stopped in front of a residence with a small courtyard.

"We're here, this is it."

Lin Yinyin stepped through the door and was stunned by the scene before her.

This is a two-room house with blue bricks and tiles. The base of the walls is marked with straight edges made of broken stones, making the small courtyard square.

In the center of the yard is a small vegetable garden, with distinct ridges and rows, planted with various lush green vegetables, and several rose bushes in full bloom along the edges of the vegetable patch.

The windows were clean and bright, and strings of dried chili peppers and dried green beans hung under the eaves. Even the firewood in the corner was stacked neatly. It was clear that the lady of the house was a clean and meticulous person.

"Yinyin, your sister is very thoughtful. She grows all the vegetables in the yard and spends her free time taking care of them, saying that she feels more at ease eating vegetables that she grows herself."

Upon entering the house, a faint scent of soapberry wafted over, and the kitchen stove was gleaming, with not a trace of grease on the rim of the pots.

"Yinyin, my family has two rooms. My dad, Jianying, and I share one room, and Huizhi and I share another. Now that you're here, I'll be staying in the dormitory."

Lin Yinyin wasn't happy about her brother-in-law's concession. Instead, she wondered how her sister managed to live in such a small house, taking care of her seriously ill father-in-law, dealing with her mother-in-law, and accommodating her spoiled sister-in-law.

"Yinyin, Jianying is spoiled by my mother and has a bad temper, so don't take it to heart."

"Once Dad is feeling better, I'll have her apologize to you and Huizhi." His words were half reassuring and half probing.

Lin Yinyin didn't reply, but sneered inwardly. "You think your dad's better? If he's not, then he just doesn't want to apologize."

Lin Yinyin was too lazy to argue with him, and simply said coldly, "I only care about my sister."

If she suffers even the slightest injustice, I don't care who the other person is, her fate will be far worse than today.

Li Jianjun opened his mouth, but the words he wanted to say, "Don't speak too harshly as a family," stuck in his throat.

My sister-in-law is not someone to mess with; she has a fiery temper, like a little chili pepper, and she's quick to act and doesn't hold back. What if she goes against my mom?

His mother was even more stubborn than Jianying. She was a woman of her word and could not tolerate anyone challenging her authority.

Li Jianjun got a headache just thinking about it, which is why he wanted to go to the hospital with him.

He thought he should discuss it with Huizhi and see if his sister-in-law could leave quickly or get married soon.

The two grabbed their things and headed straight to the hospital. Little did they know that the news of what happened that day had quickly spread throughout the compound, saying that a beautiful and formidable younger sister-in-law had come to Commander Li's house—she was incredibly fierce!

Even the shameless sister-in-law was beaten until she bled. The two slapped each other as soon as they met, and the sister-in-law's arm was broken.

Lin Yinyin was unaware that her reputation as a "tiger mom" had spread.

Meanwhile, in the office of the commander of the Second Regiment.

The man, who was clenching his fists anxiously and peering out on one tiptoe, finally spotted his deputy commander.

"Vice Regiment Commander, you've finally arrived!"

As soon as Chi Peng reached the door, he saw Jiang Feng's anxious look and said irritably, "Why aren't you home taking care of your leg? What are you doing here? Don't you want your leg anymore?"

"No, Deputy Regiment Commander, I saw that guy coming."

Who is it?

Jiang Feng leaned forward and lowered his voice, "That fierce woman, like an eagle."

"Did you see clearly?"

"It shouldn't be wrong. I glimpsed her in a military vehicle; she was on a bus at the time. Later, I wanted to tell the regimental commander, but he kept taking naps. Before I could say anything after we got off the bus, the communications officer came to urge him to attend an emergency meeting, so I had no choice but to wait for you here!"

"Are you sure it's her?"

"Probably! Deputy Commander, if it's true, what do you think she's doing here? Is she trying to cling to our commander?"

"Go back to the hospital first, I'll handle this. Also, can you tone it down a bit? That gossipy look in your eyes, the commander will definitely give you a piece of his mind if he finds out."

"I understand, but Vice Commander, if that woman really comes, you have to let me know."

"Let's go, let's go!" Chi Peng waved his hand.

After Jiang Feng left, Chi Peng picked up the internal phone.

"Hello, I am Chi Peng, deputy commander of the Second Regiment. I would like to inquire about the registration status of visitors to the family compound today."

"Good afternoon, Deputy Regiment Commander. There are a total of six visitors entering the hospital this afternoon. Three of them are family members of the First Regiment, two are family members of the Second Regiment, and one new face is the sister-in-law of Battalion Commander Li Jianjun of the First Regiment. All registration information is complete."

"Oh? How old are the relatives of that battalion commander? What are their characteristics?"

"Registered name is Lin Huiyin, age 18, from Kunming Province, about 1.6 meters tall, slim build, looking for her older sister Lin Huizhi at the military region!"

"Lin Huiyin?" Chi Peng put down the phone and repeated it again.

Although they share a similar name, Lin Yinyin, they may not be the same person.

The regimental commander once said that the woman, as eagle-like as she was, had lost all her family members. If it were her, how could she have an older sister?

There can't be such a coincidence in the world, right?

Army General Hospital.

Lin Huizhi was carefully opening the lunchbox; her wrists, beneath her blue cloth shirt, were so thin they looked as if they would break at the slightest touch.

"Mom, I made shredded potatoes, your favorite braised cabbage with pork cracklings, and a bowl of rice today."

Grandma Li leaned back in the chair, her gaze sweeping over the food in the lunchbox, her face darkening.

"Why is there no meat?"

I clearly heard Jianjun tell you yesterday that you got paid. So, all your wages are for eating this bland, watery soup?

"Mom, the hospital cafeteria sold out of meat dishes early today. These were all that were left when I went. I'll go earlier to queue up tomorrow..."

"fart!"

Old Mrs. Li slammed her chopsticks on the ground. "How can the cafeteria not have meat? I bet you're just unwilling to give me any!"

My Li family went to great lengths to marry you, not so you would be a miser!

You've been married into this family for so many years and haven't even laid a single egg. Jianjun wanted to get promoted in the army, but because of your reputation for not laying eggs, you've missed so many opportunities!

Now you won't even give me a bite of meat, I think you're trying to kill me by outliving me!

Lin Huizhi didn't say a word of explanation. She just picked up her chopsticks, took a steamed bun, and went to the corner of the ward to slowly eat it with plain water.

She knew her father-in-law had heart disease and couldn't be stimulated.

As expected, Old Man Li was woken up by the noise. Looking at his wife's expression, he guessed what had happened. "Old woman, say less! This is a hospital. Huizhi has it tough, running around taking care of us every day..."

"What business is it of yours if I insult her?"

Old Mrs. Li turned around and vented her anger on her husband, "If she hadn't brought bad luck to our family, would you be lying here?"

I think you're completely bewitched by her!

She's occupying a military dependent's quota, and Jianying still hasn't found a job. And you, of all people, are siding with outsiders!
