Nan Sheng was well aware that as long as she took good care of Li Liangbai, Lin Han’s future in the military region would be promising.

The soldiers who had gone out on a mission returned earlier than the demoted personnel. This mission was not as dangerous as expected, but there had been a small – scale conflict. If not handled properly, it could have led to a war between the two countries. Fortunately, the situation did not escalate to that extent.

Li Gongliang was extremely proud on his way back. He had performed brilliantly in this mission and was waiting for Commander Ye to praise him. Instead, he was called in and scolded severely.

“What on earth is wrong with you two as a couple? Are you being biased against girls? Let me tell you, Li Gongliang, the top leaders have said that women can hold up half the sky. Feudal ideas won’t do!”

Li Gongliang hung his head lower and lower as he was being scolded. He didn’t dare to ask Commander Ye what exactly had happened.

After scolding enough, Commander Ye told Li Gongliang, “Go to the military doctor and pick up your third child. She was badly beaten and needs to be well taken care of. If I hear that you and your wife beat the child again, don’t even think about getting a promotion in the future.”

These words were quite serious. Li Gongliang left the commander’s office, seething with anger. He was so angry that he wished he could tear his wife, Yuying, into pieces.

All the merits he had fought so hard for outside were ruined. The bonus and honors were all gone!

What bothered him the most was that he was met with cold looks when he went to the military doctor to pick up the child. On his way home, everyone who knew him advised him to be nicer to the child. Their words sounded good, but they all had sons and daughters. How could they understand his pain? Even Commander Ye’s family doted on their son to the sky!

Li Gongliang went home full of anger. When Yuying saw her husband coming back, she was so scared that she didn’t dare to say a word and just stood there meekly.

She whispered, “Husband, are you hungry? I’ll go and prepare a meal for you right away!”

Li Gongliang carried the child into the house. There was not a trace of pity in his eyes for what the child had suffered. Seeing that the eldest and the second child were not at home, he immediately closed the door and took off the belt around his waist.

Yuying knelt down with a thud. Her face turned deathly pale with fear, but she didn’t dare to plead for herself because she knew that if she made a sound, she would be beaten even more severely.

However, this time, Li Gongliang changed his tactics. The more silent Yuying was, the harder he beat her. It seemed that he wanted the whole building to know that he was beating his wife. Yuying let out shrill screams, which were extremely terrifying.

The neighbors upstairs and downstairs all knew that Yuying was being beaten, but no one came to persuade him. They all said that she deserved it.

Wangdi, who had just got home, was so scared by her parents’ actions that she curled up into a ball, but no one cared about her feelings.

Li Gongliang really laid into Yuying this time. When he saw her lying on the ground, unable to get up, he finally felt a little better. At the same time, a crazy idea popped into his mind.

Since this incident had made such a big fuss, maybe he could use the excuse of loving the child to get rid of this woman who was of no help to his future.

When Nan Sheng came home in the evening, she saw that her daughter’s eyes were red. She asked the child with concern, “What’s wrong, Qiqi? Who bullied you?”

Siqi hugged Nan Sheng tightly and didn’t say a word. She looked extremely aggrieved. Sizhe took the lunch box and explained for his sister.

“Mom, my sister was scared by what happened across the way. Uncle Li brought Wangdi back today and beat Aunt Yuying severely. Her screams were so horrible.”

Kids are timid. Li Gongliang beat so fiercely and Yuying screamed so loudly. The two families lived so close to each other. It would be strange if Siqi wasn’t scared. Even Sizhe was afraid that Uncle Li would beat Aunt Yuying to death.

Nan Sheng was furious. Those people across the way were really out of control. Did they really think she had a good temper?

She turned around and went to the opposite door, pounding on it. “Battalion Commander Li, Yuying, come out for a moment!”

The whole building was paying attention to what was going on in the Li family. Moreover, Nan Sheng didn’t knock gently. She really banged on the door, leaving no face for them at all.

Her actions immediately attracted the attention of the neighbors upstairs and downstairs. They all lowered their voices and started silently watching the drama.

Yuying dragged her injured body to open the door. She forced a bitter smile and said, “Sister – in – law, if you have something to say, just tell me. Liangzi is asleep.”

Nan Sheng said expressionlessly, “Then please wake him up. Now! Right away! Immediately!”

Nan Sheng had been the director of the revolutionary committee for some time. When she frowned, she was quite intimidating. Yuying didn’t dare to look her in the eye and could only go into the room to wake her husband up.

When Li Gongliang was woken up, his eyes were full of hatred, as if he wanted to kill her.

Yuying stammered an explanation, “It’s Sister – in – law across the way who wants you to go out and say something.”

Li Gongliang got up angrily, still taking the time to tidy his clothes. When he came to the door, he quickly put on a different expression.

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, Sister – in – law. I was so tired from the mission that I fell asleep and didn’t hear you knocking.”

Although Li Gongliang spoke politely, Nan Sheng was not going to give him a good look. She was really disgusted. Neither of this couple was a good person.

“Battalion Commander Li, I heard that you came back and started beating your wife. The whole building could hear it. You may feel better and be able to sleep, but my Qiqi was so scared that she cried all afternoon. How do you plan to solve this?”

Li Gongliang immediately showed an apologetic smile.

“I’m really sorry, Sister – in – law. I just brought Wangdi back and couldn’t control my temper for a moment. It won’t happen again in the future. Tomorrow, I’ll buy some snacks that Qiqi likes and send them over. Please don’t let Qiqi be angry with me.”

Nan Sheng concluded that he was a hypocritical villain.

She made up her mind to keep Lin Han away from Li Gongliang. People like him had a strong sense of revenge and should not be offended easily unless you were sure to defeat them.

Thinking of this, Nan Sheng softened her tone.

“Don’t blame Sister – in – law for speaking bluntly. Since I moved here, your family has been causing trouble every few days. Even the most patient person would be annoyed. Let’s just let this go this time, but if there’s a next time, I won’t be so lenient!”

Li Gongliang’s voice became even more apologetic as he apologized to Nan Sheng again.

“It’s all my fault. I’ve caused you trouble, Sister – in – law!”

However, in his heart, he was thinking, Why is there such a big difference between wives?
