Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 498 - 344: Domineering

The second watch of the night arrived.

-------------

After listening to Chuxia’s attempt to console her, Yun Doudou couldn’t help but give a bitter smile, "Maybe in my mom’s view, everything she does is for my own good, but I just can’t agree with her approach.

She believes that when a man and a woman form a family, it’s not because they have great feelings for each other, but because of interests.

A man from an ordinary family marries a woman from an ordinary family to find someone to share life’s burdens, to have a companion for the journey ahead.

A man from a well-off family marries a woman from a well-off family to gain an ally who can be of help, to broaden his prospects even further.

These two principles are what she firmly believes in, so she absolutely disapproves of me being with Zhou Hanliang, because in her view, Zhou Hanliang is with me just to get more from me, not really because he likes me as a person."

"I won’t be embarrassed to say, since I returned home, my mom has always been trying to set me up with Mei Yitong. By the way, do you know who Mei Yitong is?"

"Hmm, I know, he’s the man who used to like Ye Meiru together with Zhou Mikang," Chuxia said, using Ye Meiru as a point of reference to make it clear who Mei Yitong was.

"You’re quite well-informed," Yun Doudou said with surprise, staring at Chuxia, "Aren’t you feeling a bit sour, saying it so calmly?"

"Sour about what?" Chuxia spread her hands, "When they were together, I didn’t even know where I was, so what right do I have to feel sour? Besides, what’s there to be sour about? It’s not Ye Meiru who is married to Zhou Mikang now, it’s me."

"You really think positively. I only found out about Commander Zhou and Ye Meiru recently too, I learned about it when my mom took me to visit the Mei family not so long ago.

I was worried for you at the time, afraid that you wouldn’t be able to accept this since they had been together for several years, and Commander Zhou had stayed out of relationships for her for many years. Are you really not bothered by it?"

"Why do I feel like you’re hoping that Zhou Mikang and I will have conflicts?" Chuxia gave Yun Doudou a sideway glance, "Could it be that you like Zhou Mikang too and are thinking of breaking us up?"

"Cut it out..." Yun Doudou pushed her playfully, "I’ve never dared to have inappropriate thoughts about Commander Zhou, and I’m not hoping you’ll have conflicts with him. I just think that if it were me, I definitely couldn’t get over this emotional hurdle. I’m afraid you’re bottling it up inside and it’s going to make you sick, so I was trying to get you to talk about it. And now you turn around and accuse me of being interested in Commander Zhou, let’s not go there."

"I get what you mean..." Pause a moment, Chuxia said, "I tried to recall, and honestly, I don’t have much to say about Ye Meiru right now.

In fact, ever since she came back, she’s been actively seeking reconciliation with Zhou Mikang, hoping to get back together with him, but he refused her.

So, she married a man she didn’t like. I can only say she’s also a pitiful woman. Of course, I don’t mean I pity her, I mean she has brought this misery upon herself, which is pitiful but she’s unaware of it. Such a person, they’re asking for it, and deserve the pity they don’t realize they need.

So, what do I have to be jealous about? I should be thankful to her, without her, how could I have had the chance to marry Zhou Mikang, right?"

"That’s true." Yun Doudou nodded with a smile, "It seems I need to learn from you, to look on the bright side of things. That way, what I see will also be different."

"That’s more like it," Chuxia smiled as she pointed at Yun Doudou’s handbag, "With just that tiny bag, holding all your belongings, how are you going to live?"

"When I left, I broke off relations with my mom. I didn’t want to take any of her stuff, plus, with her temperament, if I really took something of hers, she would definitely make more trouble. Anyway, this time I’ve made up my mind. I can’t keep indulging her and doing things her way. If she can’t come to terms with it, I’m determined not to go back. Chuxia, you’re my friend, you won’t just abandon me, right?"

Chuxia shrugged her shoulders, "I don’t have the ability to take care of you. For this matter, we should ask a few of the big BOSSes to arrange something."

Yun Doudou looked puzzled, "What’s a big boss—dead?"

It’s normal for people of this era not to learn English and not to understand. Thinking of how people spoke during this time, Chuxia explained, "It means big leader."

Yun Doudou nodded in sudden understanding, "Oh, I get it, you mean waiting for your husband to come back and help arrange things."

Chuxia: "..." Can we not keep saying ’husband’? It’s too formal...

Just then, Zhou Mikang pushed the door open, first nodded at Chuxia, then turned to Yun Doudou, "Where’s Zhou Hanliang? How come he left you here?"

"I don’t know, I ran away from home." Yun Doudou intentionally squeezed closer to Chuxia, "Regimental Commander, you have to help me. I need a job. I’ve run away from home, I need a place to stay, and your wife has already agreed to help me. Please, see what you can do."

Chuxia looked at her speechless. Could you be any more shameless?

"Ran away from home?" Zhou Mikang sat down opposite them, looking at Yun Doudou with a serious face, "Tell me everything in detail."

Yun Doudou straightened up and reported in detail the fallout she had with Lan Ailian. At the end, she threw a sheepish smile at Chuxia, "I didn’t mean to keep it from you, I just didn’t know how to tell you. But even though her intellect is damaged, I think she’s happier than me. Anyway, she seems to be happy every day."

Chuxia was even more speechless. Big sister, can you not be so out of touch? Would you be willing if your intelligence regressed to that of an eight or nine-year-old? Some people really don’t know the pain of standing and talking.

Probably noticing Chuxia’s skepticism, Yun Doudou quickly explained further, "I’m not saying that it’s good my sister was injured. What I mean is, dealing with a mom like mine, someone like my sister would be happier."

Chuxia: "..." Well, she still didn’t know what to say. Anyway, for her, she couldn’t accept regressing in intellect.

"Actually, what I mean is..."

Zhou Mikang interrupted her, "Alright, no need to explain any further. Now, focus on your own issues. You said you’ve run away from home, let’s hear your current plans."

Yun Doudou’s expression turned serious, "I just want Zhou Hanliang to see my determination. For him, I can do anything, and I’ll wait for him until he returns.

I want to go back to the medical team. Regimental Commander, if possible, I request to be transferred to Unit 401; I want to be with Chuxia and the others.

I don’t have many friends in this city; they are my best friends, even though we haven’t known each other long. But I believe we’ll be friends for life."

"You should talk about this with Zhou Hanliang personally. Whether I will help you or not will depend on his intentions," Zhou Mikang said as he stood up. "Chuxia, you stay here with Doudou for now. I will go look for Hanliang."

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Hanliang followed Zhou Mikang back, looking excited. Upon seeing Yun Doudou, his eyes instantly lit up, but then he grew nervous and gave Zhou Mikang a glance, grinning foolishly.

Chuxia felt exasperated. Men of this era are really...adorable, but why isn’t Commander Tongzi as cute? Can’t he smile a bit more instead of always trying to act cool?

She sneakily rolled her eyes towards the unsmiling Commander Tongzi, thinking, what, is it going to kill him to crack a smile?

Before she finished her silent criticism, she saw Commander Tongzi kick Zhou Hanliang on the butt, "Stop grinning like a fool, speak up!~"

Stumbling from the kick, Zhou Hanliang quickly straightened his expression and looked at Yun Doudou, "Doudou, you’re here."

Chuxia: "..." Isn’t that blatantly obvious? Can you say anything more pointless?

Zhou Mikang: "..." How did I end up with such an idiot; this is so embarrassing!

A blush tinged Yun Doudou’s cheeks as she nodded at Zhou Hanliang, "Yeah, I’m here. Have you come back too?"

"Let’s go." Zhou Mikang grabbed Chuxia and started to walk out, unable to bear it any longer. These two kept saying silly things to each other before, and it looked like they were about to start again. He didn’t want to waste his time with them.

As the car left the compound and turned towards the increasingly crowded city center, Chuxia looked at Zhou Mikang in surprise, "Where are we going?"

"When Dad and Mom return home, I won’t be able to see them off, so I’ll take the time now to get their things in order, and I’ll buy you a few outfits while I’m at it. When I’m not here, you’re not allowed to buy clothes or dress up too pretty. Got it?"

Chuxia: "..." That’s too domineering! She was going to say something grateful, but it seems she really was too naive...(To be continued.
