Gossiping in the 1970s Compound, While the Stone-Faced Officer Eavesdrops on My Thoughts

[Military Wife Who Loves the Gossip] [Her Thoughts Are Heard] [Cold-Faced Battalion Commander] [Protective Husband and Face-Slapping] [Sweet and Satisfying Period Drama]

Shen Tang wakes up in the 1970s as a newlywed known throughout the military compound for being a pushover. Right from the start, her vicious mother-in-law and a group of people corner her in her room, using iron pincers to pry open her dowry chest.

Everyone assumes she'll bow her head and accept her fate. Instead, she sobs with red-rimmed eyes on the outside while her mind, bound to the [Gossip System], lets loose: "Go on, pry it open! Pry up the third brick in the kang bed in the east room, too! That's where you hid the martyr's compensation money you stole!"

The cold-faced officer Lu Ye is just returning to discuss a divorce. He hears her thoughts outside the door, his face darkens, and he kicks it open.

When the security department finds an oilcloth bundle hidden in the kang bed, and her vicious mother-in-law collapses to the floor, everyone in the compound is stunned. How is this new bride so lucky?

Even more outrageous, Shen Tang glances at a neighbor and says, "Sister-in-law Wang next door has a radio transmitter hidden under the rice jar!" She glances at the star of the art troupe: "She's planning to drug my husband!"

Lu Ye stays composed on the surface, but behind the scenes he follows his wife's thoughts and goes on a rampage. Once Shen Tang has had her fill of gossip, she packs up her dowry and gets ready to run. The cold-faced commander pins her against the door, the corners of his eyes red. "Honey, you've helped catch every enemy agent in the whole compound. Now you want to abandon your husband and home?"
