Chapter 88: None of them are good people. Who are they trying to impress by fighting like dogs?
"Yan Chuan..."
"Battalion Commander Song..."
The moment Song Yanchuan appeared, several voices rang out in the courtyard at the same time.
Zhang Meili and Li Yuxiang, in particular, saw Song Yanchuan as if he were their savior.
Song Yanchuan strode over to Qin Yingxue's side, not even glancing at them, and looked at Qin Yingxue with concern: "How are you? Are you hurt?"
Qin Yingxue shook her head. Seeing that the first thing Song Yanchuan did upon returning was to care about her, she couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.
After confirming that Qin Yingxue was unharmed, Song Yanchuan looked at Zhu Huiwen, his brows furrowed and his expression somewhat grave.
The smile that had just bloomed on Zhu Huiwen's face froze instantly, and she stood there somewhat at a loss.
Soon, Song Yanchuan glanced past her at the Wen siblings, and finally fixed his gaze on Zhang Meili and Li Yuxiang, a cold expression on his face, and took a step forward.
Zhang Meili and Li Yuxiang subconsciously took a step back and swallowed hard.
“Ms. Zhang, Commander Liu is back! Should I go and invite him over to uphold justice, or should we go together…”
Before Song Yanchuan could finish speaking, Zhang Meili's expression changed drastically, and her legs went weak, almost causing her to kneel down.
"Commander Song... I was bewitched by Li Yuxiang and she deceived me! Please, for the sake of how good my husband has been to you, just pretend you don't know anything about this. If you really want to find someone, go find Li Yuxiang; she's still after you..."
"Zhang Meili..." Before Zhang Meili could finish speaking, Li Yuxiang, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, immediately became anxious, "You were the one who couldn't stand it, saying that Battalion Commander Song didn't give you face yesterday and made you lose face, so you dragged me here to cause trouble. How can you put all the blame on me..."
"Alright, you two!" Qin Yingxue said sarcastically from the side. "Neither of you are good people. Who are you trying to impress by fighting like dogs? Yan Chuan, stop wasting your breath on them. Take them directly to the regimental commander and see if they dare to come here and cause trouble again!"
"No..." Zhang Meili, weighing two hundred pounds, quickly knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly, "Song Yanchuan, you can't let Lao Liu know... I promise, I will take a detour next time I see your family, and I will also keep an eye on Li Yuxiang and make sure she doesn't appear in front of you."
“Zhang Meili, you…” Li Yuxiang glared at her hatefully, wishing she could pounce on her and tear her apart.
"What do you mean, 'what ... what do you mean, ' what do you mean, ' ' ' ' ' ' ''s' face was full of anger.' " If you hadn't shamelessly coveted Battalion Commander Song, I wouldn't have been dragged into this mess by you! Get out of here right now, or if I ever find out you dare to come looking for Song Yanchuan again, I'll break your legs...'
While pulling Li Yuxiang along, Zhang Meili began to lecture her, her plump body surprisingly agile at that moment.
Amid Zhang Meili's curses, the two quickly disappeared from sight.
Zhu Huiwen and the Wen siblings stared wide-eyed, unable to close their mouths for a long time.
Qin Yingxue was also somewhat surprised; Zhang Meili wasn't actually as foolish as she had imagined.
At the very least, they know how to weigh the pros and cons and are adept at recognizing the times.
If they continue to stand here, the final outcome will only be worse.
"I'll go cook." Seeing that no one was in the yard, Zhu Huiwen quickly pulled the Wen siblings to the kitchen.
"Mom, wait a minute." Song Yanchuan called out to Zhu Huiwen.
"You guys chat, I'll cook today." Qin Yingxue saw that Song Yanchuan's expression was serious and left some space for him.
Upon arriving in the kitchen, Qin Yingxue first took out the rice, washed it, and started cooking it before beginning to prepare the dishes.
Five abalones were first kept in water, then their internal organs were removed with a knife, and then a brush was used to scrub them...
Song Yanchuan's voice would occasionally drift into the kitchen, saying nothing more than telling Zhu Huiwen not to be soft-hearted, to fight back if bullied, and not to be afraid of anything, as he would back her up, etc.
Qin Yingxue bought two ounces of vermicelli from the mall, soaked it in warm water, and then placed five abalones on a plate, topped with vermicelli and her own homemade sauce.
After thoroughly cleaning the blue crabs inside and out with a brush, chop them into pieces and set them aside on a plate.
Seeing a pumpkin and a bunch of chives on the ground, Qin Yingxue quickly peeled and chopped the pumpkin, washed the chives, and cracked three eggs.
Four dishes for five people is about right.
After the rice was cooked, Qin Yingxue began steaming the abalone, continuing to wash and chop it.
The vegetables had just been washed when Zhu Huiwen came in.
Qin Yingxue glanced at it; her eyes were slightly red, clearly indicating that she had been crying.
“Yingxue, I’m here…” Zhu Huiwen’s voice was still slightly hoarse.
"Mom, just cook two dishes, I can do it, you go and rest." Qin Yingxue didn't want to interfere in their mother-son affairs, and she didn't know how to bring it up.
"Yingxue, do you also think that Mom made a mistake because she was too weak-willed?" Zhu Huiwen asked Qin Yingxue, her eyes red.
"Mom, I know you're kind and gentle, and you can't handle arguing or fighting with people! It's okay, I'll take care of fighting from now on, and you can cheer me on from behind! Yan Chuan didn't actually blame Mom, it's just that we can't be by your side all the time, and he's worried that you'll be bullied when he's not around."
Qin Yingxue tried to be tactful.
"Mom knows, Yingxue, you're a good person!" Zhu Huiwen wiped her face, took a breath, and said, "I'll be stronger in the future and won't let you worry."
"Mom, don't worry, Yan Chuan and I will stay by your side as much as possible. Besides, not everyone in the military family compound is as eccentric as these two we met today!" Qin Yingxue comforted her with a smile.
"Yes, this pumpkin was brought over by Grandma Wu next door." Zhu Huiwen nodded, her complexion gradually improving.
"Grandma Wu? Mom, you already know your neighbor after just one day?" Qin Yingxue's face showed an expression of amazement.
Zhu Huiwen blushed slightly and said shyly, "I was tidying up in the yard, and Grandma Wu was picking vegetables in the field. Yingxue, let me tell you, sandy soil doesn't mean you can't grow anything. Pumpkins, melons, loofahs, sweet potatoes are easy to grow and have high yields. Also, Grandma Wu is good at teaching us. If you put some soil in a wooden box, you can still grow all kinds of vegetables, like scallions, leafy greens, and garlic sprouts..."
Seeing Zhu Huiwen getting more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes shining and her whole demeanor changing, Qin Yingxue also smiled happily.
Dinner was cooked by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law together. The stir-fried pumpkin and stir-fried eggs with chives were made by Zhu Huiwen.
Each person received one abalone, and Qin Yingxue distributed them directly after they were served.
Spicy blue crab, but unfortunately no rice cakes.
But everyone was eating with their mouths full of oil.
Seeing everyone enjoying the meal so much, Qin Yingxue felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"Mom, Yingxue, I have to go on a mission tonight and can't be with you."
After the meal, Song Yanchuan made the announcement.
"Huh? Didn't you just get back and you're already going on a mission?" Qin Yingxue asked, somewhat surprised.
"Ouyang Jian is in some trouble, I must take men to provide support..."
