Transmigrated as the Evil Stepmother, I Bully the Whole Family, Yay! Chapter 148

Lin Han had to leave for a mission that afternoon, but Ou Yaosheng's actions left him uneasy. Upon returning to the military district, he imdiately reported the matter to Commander Ye.

Commander Ye reassured him, "Go ahead with your mission without worry. I’ll assign a skilled soldier to protect your wife. Lin Han, no one dares lay a finger on anyone under our military district’s protection."

After Lin Han left, Commander Ye promptly made a call to higher authorities. A re county revolutionary committee director like Ou Yaosheng had the audacity to provoke them? He would be dealt with severely!

At the town governnt office, after Lin Han’s display of drawing his gun, no one dared trouble Nan Sheng further.

When the ti ca, the military district dispatched personnel to the county governnt to arrest those involved. All revolutionary committee mbers connected to Ou Yaosheng were taken away. With guns drawn, resistance was futile.

This ti, Cao Guoxiang wisely stayed out of sight, fearing he might be implicated.

Since Ou Yaosheng was part of the revolutionary committee, the city committee was imdiately notified. While Ou Yaosheng himself wasn’t significant, the committee’s reputation couldn’t be trampled upon.

Negotiations with the military district ensued, offering nurous concessions to secure Ou Yaosheng’s release. However, he was stripped of his position as county director and reassigned to a remote, desolate location.

The military district had initially intended to make an example of Ou Yaosheng, but the committee’s offers were too generous to refuse. Sotis, it was better to show leniency.

Commander Ye specifically sent Zhang Yiheng to inform Nan Sheng of the outco.

"Sister-in-law, Commander Ye asked to relay that the matter has been resolved. Ou Yaosheng was beaten half to death and transferred to a remote area. You can work without concern—no one will dare trouble you again!"

Nan Sheng was naturally relieved, though she felt uneasy about having a young soldier accompany her to and from work.

"It’s no trouble, ma’am. We’re used to rigorous training anyway," the soldier reassured her.

Commander Ye was thorough. Even though Ou Yaosheng had been transferred, he insisted on assigning protection for a while longer, fearing potential retaliation.

On her day off, Nan Sheng bought gifts and visited Commander Ye’s ho. "Is Sister-in-law ho?"

Huang Xiaofang, having just finished breakfast, wondered who could be visiting so early. Opening the door, she smiled warmly. "Little sister, why stand outside? Co in! Don’t be so formal next ti."

Nan Sheng handed over the at and pastries she’d brought. "I’ve been busy with work and haven’t had ti to visit. I was afraid no one would be ho."

Huang Xiaofang flushed at the generous gifts. "Both Lao Ye and I are here. But really, you already sent so many good things through Lin Han during the New Year. How can we accept more this ti? I absolutely can’t take these."

Just then, Commander Ye erged, drawn by the commotion. Nan Sheng insisted, "Please accept them, Sister-in-law. I’ve caused so much trouble for Commander Ye and the military. If you refuse, I won’t be able to sleep peacefully."

Huang Xiaofang had heard from her husband about the incident and how Nan Sheng’s actions had inadvertently benefited the military district. But she wasn’t as articulate as Nan Sheng and could only glance at her husband, leaving it to him to decline.

"Lin Han’s wife, if you really want to thank us, take these back and just bring two bottles of your family’s ginseng wine instead. The taste is exceptional," Commander Ye said.

Not only was the liquor fine, but the ginseng infusion gave it a bold, unforgettable flavor—so much so that even Division Commander Yao had ntioned it longingly in his presence.

Nan Sheng laughed. "It’s hardly proper to take gifts back. There’s only one bottle of ginseng wine left at ho, but I’ll send it over shortly. Once the next batch is ready, I’ll have Lin Han deliver more."

After chatting for over an hour, Nan Sheng took her leave. Huang Xiaofang eyed the at on the table with delight.

"Lin Han really married well. Unlike Li Gongliang, whose wife cost him his military rits."

"What do you know?" Commander Ye’s tone turned sharp. "As a husband and father, if he only runs from problems instead of solving them, how can he expect to achieve anything?"

His anger stemd from Li Gongliang’s recent divorce petition, which he’d torn up imdiately. After all, Yuying had stood by him for years—how could he discard her so callously?

Huang Xiaofang pursed her lips, feeling she and her husband would never see eye to eye.

Back ho, Nan Sheng prepared a lavish al for the children. Staring at the leftovers, her mind wandered. If Lin Han were ho, nothing would remain.

She had to admit—she missed him too.

Sizhe handled the dishes while Siqi clung to Nan Sheng, sighing like a little adult.

"Mom, when will Dad co back? I miss him."

Nan Sheng didn’t want to dwell on Lin Han’s absence—it only made her feel emptier. Playfully, she rubbed her eyes until they turned red. "Sweetheart, don’t ntion your dad. I’ll start crying if you do!"

Siqi, taking her seriously, quickly comforted her. "Don’t cry, Mom! Dad will be back soon. With and Brother here, you’re not alone!"

By the ti Lin Han returned from his mission, the Li household was in turmoil.

No matter how others pleaded, Li Gongliang was determined to divorce. Yuying refused outright, threatening to hang herself and the children in their ho if he proceeded.

The residential building was on edge. Though Yuying had stopped beating the children since Wangdi’s return, most neighbors now supported Li Gongliang’s decision—until her suicide threat silenced them.

Even the Lin children trembled at the thought of opening their door to find bodies hanging across the hallway.

Sizhe turned to his parents. "Dad, Mom, I heard hanged people look terrifying. Can you please talk to them? What if Auntie really goes through with it?"

With the two families living so close, even Sizhe and Siqi peeked nervously at the Li residence, fearing the worst.

Nan Sheng agreed this couldn’t continue. "Lin Han, won’t the military district intervene? The constant fighting is unbearable—especially for the kids."

Having returned with minor injuries, Lin Han was temporarily exempt from training and could return ho on ti. He soothed his family, "Commander Ye won’t approve Li Gongliang’s divorce. Don’t worry."

No sooner had he spoken than another argunt erupted next door.

For once, Yuying stood her ground. "Li Gongliang, I’ll never agree to divorce. Give it up!"

Her face had grown gaunt from stress, yet Li Gongliang showed no rcy, berating and striking her freely.

He was adept at manipulation. Though Yuying hadn’t laid a hand on the children since Wangdi’s return, he loudly accused her of abuse, ensuring the entire building heard.

As expected, public opinion shifted in his favor.

Were it not for Commander Ye’s intervention, he’d have gotten his freedom long ago.
