Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside Chapter 1679: Mom, Are You Possessed?

Company Commander Jin is a smart man, but he can be a bit muddled when it comes to women.

His confusion arises from the belief that women must rely on men to survive, which led him to mistake Ms. Xiao Ji, a vicious widowed concubine, for Little Huabai.

After learning about everything Ms. Xiao Ji had done, he was quite frightened and eventually realized the truth.

There was no way not to awaken; Qin San Lang had just slain the royal general of the Rong people, earning great merit, and after the Kangrong war ended, Kid Qin was sure to be promoted.

Moreover, Kid Qin had the ability to lead everyone to merit, along with a wealthy and resourceful wife who could produce insect attractant, making following such a person certainly worthwhile.

After all, everyone was familiar with each other; following Qin San Lang after his promotion was far better than working under any new Troop Commander.

Thus, Company Commander Jin went to great lengths to show his contrition, fearing that Qin San Lang would dislike him and not take him along after his promotion.

Qin San Lang wanted to refuse, but Gu Jinli agreed, saying, "We all came to the Northwest to fight against the Rong together. If any of your family members fall ill and I have the medicine, I certainly won’t stand by and do nothing."

No joke, considering how much of her medicine they had consumed; if she ignored them now, wouldn’t she be at a loss?

She had to take care of it; only this way could she win people’s hearts.

Upon hearing this, Company Commander Jin was overjoyed and hastily thanked her, "Thank you, Mrs. Qin."

He also said to Qin San Lang, "Thank you, Company Commander Qin. Well, I’ll go back to work now; you all take your time to chat."

He was afraid that Qin San Lang would change his mind, so he quickly slipped away.

Gu Jinli watched the situation and whispered to Qin San Lang, "He doesn’t seem beyond help. And the Housekeeper Zhong and his wife were sent by Mrs. Jin. They both are capable. After the incident with Ms. Xiao Ji, the Jin Family won’t dare cause trouble anymore. Don’t worry, I won’t wear myself out."

Company Commander Jin was skilled in warfare, with fewer schemes than Company Commander Cao, and had a smart and capable official wife, making him worthy of continued cooperation.

Moreover, Company Commander Jin’s handling of Ms. Xiao Ji, as well as the cousin and sister-in-law from the Tang Family, was noteworthy.

Although angered that Ms. Xiao Ji nearly harmed his family, he did not kill her. Instead, he instructed Housekeeper Zhong and his wife to watch over Ms. Xiao Ji and the cousin and sister-in-law from the Tang Family and send them back to their hometown after the war ended.

The cousin and sister-in-law of the Tang Family should not have any future dealings with the Jin Family and should be treated as non-relatives.

Ms. Xiao Ji would be dealt with by Mrs. Jin, who could choose to sell or release her, but not to kill her. Although she was not good, he could not bear to take her life.

Qin San Lang sent someone to investigate this news, and upon returning, informed Gu Jinli. Both felt that although Company Commander Jin was confused about women, he was not devoid of humanity and was quite devoted.

Such a person could be appropriately used.

"If the Jin Family seeks help, have Erqing or Feng Jin handle it. You shouldn’t trouble yourself," Qin San Lang still did not want Gu Jinli to worry about outsiders and gave this instruction.

Gu Jinli smiled and nodded, "Yes, I know, don’t worry."

She glanced towards the courtyard by the second gate and frowned, "Why haven’t Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu arrived yet? It’s already past the fifth watch of the Xu time."

Shortly after she said this, the Niu Dabao family appeared at the second gate.

Normally quite bustling, this time the family seemed dejected until they exited the second gate. Seeing them, the Niu Family People started to talk and laugh.

However, Niu Dabao had a few scratches on his face, likely from a fight with Mrs. Kuang.

Mrs. Kuang’s eyes were red and swollen, indicating she had cried.

"Sorry, sorry, for keeping everyone waiting so long, hahaha!" Niu Dabao said loudly, then awkwardly laughed a few times. Feeling too awkward, he hurriedly gave Mrs. Kuang a push.

"What’s there to push? My three sons just chased away the Rong bandits, and now you want to take them away to court death. Can’t an old lady have a fight with you?!" Mrs. Kuang glared at him and scolded, turning Niu Dabao’s face red with embarrassment.

Niu Dabao retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting, woman? I’m taking them to earn merits!"

"Bah! Don’t talk to an old lady! Just seeing you makes me angry." Mrs. Kuang scolded, then looked at Da Jin, Erjin, and Sanjin, "My sons, you must take good care of yourselves. Don’t just think about merit; the most important thing is to come back alive, understood?"

Honestly, the three Da Jin were a bit unaccustomed to Mrs. Kuang’s sudden affection.

Growing up, they were often beaten with firewood by Mrs. Kuang because the family was poor and couldn’t offer rewards to the soldiers. They didn’t dare to put on airs like sons of a Company Commander and were often forced by Mrs. Kuang to work for the soldiers’ families like long-term workers, with their mother overseeing their labor.

But their mother suddenly telling them to focus on themselves and take care of themselves better was truly unfamiliar.

Niu Sanjin, careless and carefree, laughed, "Mother, you’re exaggerating. We’re really capable, just wait for us to come back with military merits and be generals to honor you."

Niu Erjin also said, "Yes, mother, don’t cry. There are so many people here; it’s quite embarrassing. Besides, you’ve been fierce for so many years, and now you’re suddenly tearful; we really can’t get used to it. You should recover and be fierce, so we can leave with peace of mind."

Mrs. Kuang’s face turned green upon hearing this, suppressing her anger, "What do you mean? You’re not happy when I’m good to you?"

Niu Erjin replied, "No, mother... it’s just that we’re not used to it, and given your robust build, it suits you better to be fierce. Being tearful is rather funny."

A dainty young woman sobbing is beautiful, but when a big-boned figure cries, it looks scary.

Mrs. Kuang couldn’t hold back anymore, and in anger, she snatched Niu Dabao’s waist knife to hit Niu Erjin, "Funny? I’ll show you funny; I’ll beat you, you impudent boy!"

"Ah, like this, we’re at ease!" Niu Erjin said, laughing despite not being afraid.

But after a while, he grimaced in pain, quickly pleading, "Mother, stop, I’m wrong! Please stop, it hurts!"

"Serves you right!" Mrs. Kuang stopped after a few smacks, then looked at them, "If you want to go, then go, but return fully intact. If you dare come back missing a limb, don’t blame me for kicking you out!"

The three Da Jin’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, pointing at Mrs. Kuang together, "Ah, that’s our real mother!"

Sudden affection and tears for them seemed like she was possessed. This was better; this was their real mother.

Seeing Mrs. Kuang glaring at them, the three quickly added, "Mother, rest assured, we’ll definitely come back safely and not disgrace you!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Kuang looked at her three adult sons, almost wanting to cry but held back. Turning to Niu Dabao, she returned the waist knife to him, scolding, "You too, come back in one piece."

"Oh!" Niu Dabao smiled, his wife finally acting normal again. He adjusted his waist knife and advised, "You too, take care of yourself, don’t wrong yourself."
