Chapter 186 I'll Kill You (1/2)

Regiment Commander Zhang has been ruined by his wife. Even Director Wang of the Political Department said so, and he will probably face criticism in the army in the future. The investigation of Wang Ru and Li Qiao may also implicate him.

"You troublesome thing, what nonsense are you spouting with them every day? If you're going to say something, why leave so much evidence against you? What's the point of your brain?"

Now Director Wang has a problem with me, I'll make sure he gets what's coming to me.

Commander Zhang dragged Zhang Qiang's mother into the house and slammed the door shut with a bang, saying, "Let's see how I deal with you."

Then came a brutal beating.

Zhang Qiang's mother's mouth was stuffed with a tattered rag, and she could only make muffled sobs through her nose.

Commander Zhang pulled out his belt, stripped off her clothes, and whipped her severely.

Still not satisfied after finishing his cigarette, he kicked her hard before leaving.

"You wretched woman, if you dare cause me any more trouble, I'll break your legs."

Zhang Qiang's mother collapsed to the ground, exhausted. She hadn't been beaten in a long time; when they were young, Zhang Qiang's father often liked to beat people.

Later, when Zhang Qiang became more powerful, he rarely resorted to violence for the sake of the child.

The beating Zhang Qiang's mother received today left her unable to get up from the ground for quite some time.

"It's all that damn Lin Han's fault. Why did she have to get involved in foreign trade exports? Couldn't she have just smuggled it?"

She deliberately tried to harm me, you damned woman, I will never let you get away with this.

Lin Han started doing tie-dye in the yard after getting up in the morning.

She asked Gu Qizheng to collect some of the jacaranda flowers from the jacaranda tree in her yard before he went to work in the morning.

After chiseling out the juice, I added some water to dilute it. Then I tied the white cotton cloth I had bought earlier with strips of cloth and soaked it in the colored juice.

These juices are not easy to color. After soaking for more than an hour, Lin Han put the enamel basin containing the cloth and juice on the stove to heat it and use the high temperature to fix the color.

After these steps are completed, the dyed white cloth is taken out of the basin, rinsed clean with water, and the binding strips are untied, and a piece of tie-dyed cotton cloth is made.

Lin Han bought these cotton fabrics to make cushions.

I bought a lot of cotton fabric, and we also have a large bag of cotton at home, so I'm planning to make a cushion for everyone in the family.

Qin Shuman and Gu Huaiming can place it by their bedside when reading before bed, Grandpa Gu can place it on his recliner for his afternoon nap, and Grandma Jiang can place it on the sofa for her to lean on when resting. As for Gu Qizheng's, she requisitioned it.

After making the plan, Lin Han began cutting the fabric. Having learned from her experience of making a pregnancy pillow for herself last time, she was already proficient in using the sewing machine.

I finished six cushions in one afternoon.

After get off work in the afternoon, Grandpa Gu said at the dinner table, "The matters in Shanghai have been dealt with. Huaiming will be taking the train back to Beijing today."

The family breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, with the old man smoothing things over and Gu Huaiming personally going to Shanghai to make the arrangements, everything would have been foolproof. However, since it concerned Lin Han's identity, everyone was still a little worried.

Now that I've heard from Grandpa Gu that Gu Huaiming has finished dealing with his business and is coming back, I'm very happy.

"I'll make hand-pulled noodles tomorrow. Dumplings before boarding, noodles after disembarking. After a long train ride, a hot bowl of noodles is just right."

Qin Shuman still felt sorry for her old man. He had been away for more than half a month, and she wondered if he had eaten and slept well, or if he had lost weight.

Lin Han only knew that Gu Huaiming had gone to Shanghai on a mission, but she didn't know exactly what he was doing. Since military personnel's schedules are usually kept secret, she didn't ask.

But seeing everyone's relaxed smiles, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
