Chapter 185 The Outgoing Wang Haiyan
"Hehehe, don't slap me in the face! We'll wait and see!" His class monitor slapped him and said.
"Squad leader, it's questionable whether he'll even get a wife. With that attitude, what girl would marry him?" another soldier berated him.
"That's right, even if your wife isn't very assertive, you still have to appease her. Who would marry you just so you can show off and they can suffer?" one of the female soldiers said.
"We can't just take advantage of our strength to beat our wives! Instructor Tong said that anyone who beats their wife or commits domestic violence will have their limbs crippled!" said the group leader of another group.
"What five limbs? Don't humans only have four limbs?" a cute girl asked curiously.
"Yes, yes, it's limbs! Limbs! I misspoke!" The male soldiers, embarrassed, admitted their mistake.
See, the conversation has gone off-topic!
"These brats, they just spout nonsense!" He blushed as he thought of what Tong Yuheng had said about crippling his limbs.
"Hahaha! That's right, I'm talking about crippling all five limbs. I'll cripple the four normal limbs for you, but the wife who's being abused by her husband has to choose whether or not to cripple the fifth limb herself!"
Tong Yuheng, who came from a world fifty years in the future, didn't feel that having an extra limb was something he couldn't talk about, and even used such a civilized alternative language to describe it.
"There's no bad habit of beating wives in our family; all the men are good men who listen to their wives!" Li Chengsong took the opportunity to confess.
"I know, I'm just reminding them that disciples trained by the Tong family are absolutely forbidden from committing domestic violence against their wives and children!"
"Oh, by the way, after training, when I go to the Ancient Martial Arts Association to register my family as an ancient martial arts clan, I'll take you with me. You can learn more about their rules, etiquette, and the grudges and feuds among them."
"Okay. So, am I considered your disciple or your fellow disciple? Under what status in the Tong family should I register?" Li Chengsong didn't mind registering as the Tong family's future son-in-law as a martial artist, but he was worried about whether Yu Heng would accept it!
"Just like my dad, don't register as a martial artist, just be my contact person. After all, you have a regular position in the military, don't let your ancient martial arts identity affect your promotion. Keep your ancient martial arts identity a secret from outsiders."
"Yuheng, thank you!" He felt so lucky to have met his partner, who had thought so much for him.

Tong Yuyao was participating in the military recruitment assessment at this time. The county had reserved a few spots specifically for her, in accordance with the requirements of the military, and the selection was based solely on ability.
The main purpose is to give young people who are physically strong but cannot get a spot in the village for various reasons the opportunity to be selected to join the army.
Standing next to a group of burly young men from the north, Yu Yao, who was 1.65 meters tall, appeared rather petite and delicate, and was constantly being sized up by a strong girl who was half a head taller than her.
"Comrade, why are you staring at me like that? Are you nervous?" Tong Yuyao asked her.
"Hehe, it's okay, I'm not nervous! I just think you're too thin. What if I hurt you during our competition? How about I treat you to lunch?"
"Oh, thank you. But have you ever thought that I might be able to beat you?" Tong Yuyao said with a smile, this strong girl was quite interesting.
"Impossible! None of the men in our village can beat me. Look at you, how much do you weigh? You're definitely not as strong as me!" This strong woman was very confident in her strength.
"Okay, looks like you're really strong!" Tong Yuyao didn't want to argue with her about who was stronger. This girl was obviously a bit stubborn and only believed in her own reasoning.
"My name is Wang Haiyan, from Liujiatun. What's your name?" The burly girl was quite talkative and seemed to have a natural affinity for people.
"My name is Tong Yuyao, and I'm from Chenjiatun."
"Tong Yuyao! You're from that family of educated youth who came to the countryside from Yan City?" Wang Haiyan remembered. "No wonder you're so fair-skinned and beautiful! You're from the family with seven sisters, right? Your mother is amazing!"
"Huh? How is my mom so amazing?" Tong Yuyao asked, puzzled.
"Having given birth to seven daughters and raising them all so well, isn't that amazing?"
Yu Yao was about to nod when she heard her continue, "For Liu San, the most successful man in our village, to be willing to marry her even if it means he has to live with us, that's quite an achievement! Actually, there are other young women in our village who want to marry him, but he doesn't even look at them! Isn't your mother exceptionally beautiful?"
Wang Haiyan was full of curiosity, but meant no harm, and Tong Yuyao didn't know how to answer her.
"My mom is very gentle and virtuous. The fact that they got together can only be described as fate..." Tong Yuyao said perfunctorily.
"Yes, it's fate! Look at you, you've studied for a few more years, so you're much better at talking than me! Hahaha, it's fate that we can join the army together!"
Tong Yuyao: Is this the same thing? How did I end up with such a silly goose?
"Let's talk this over. How can we take down these stinky men and get ourselves involved? How about we team up and fight them one by one? I'll fight them head-on, and you can stomp on their feet and kick their groins, driving them all out of the circle!"
Tong Yuheng: I was wrong, she's not silly, I'm the silly one! Looks like this girl has gotten into quite a few fights in the village!
Wang Haiyan was still talking to herself, thinking her idea was great, "That's settled then, I'll protect you! What do you say? You don't have any objections, right?"
"No! No! Thank you!" Tong Yuyao replied with a smile.
"No need to thank me, I'll do my best to protect you! I also hope to have a female fellow villager join the army with me, so we can look after each other..."
Wang Haiyan, being a chatterbox, talked on and on, and Yuyao learned about her family situation: she had three sisters but no brothers, she was the second oldest, and she was the strongest of the three sisters; her father raised her as a boy.
The villagers sometimes said that their family line had ended without a heir, which made her mother cry in the house. She would then run out and yell back, and even beat up the boy in the family!
For the sake of her sisters, she fought many times with the boys in the village. As the fights went on, those boys all became her followers—they were beaten into submission.
Having been bullied since childhood, she had become a nightmare for children of the same age in several surrounding villages. When they heard that she was going to join the army, everyone practically celebrated her departure with gongs and drums.
Last year, her older sister found a son-in-law who moved in with her family. He's quite hardworking and reliable, so she doesn't have to work so hard in the fields anymore. Her brother-in-law can work alongside their father, and her younger sister can help take care of the family. She's always wanted to join the army, so she signed up.
Soon it was Tong Yuyao's turn to be called, and she quickly stepped forward to accept the on-site interview.
"Name, place of origin, and what are your strengths?" a man in military uniform asked her.
"My name is Tong Yuyao, I'm from Yanshi, and I graduated from high school. I'm good at writing, I can write promotional articles, and I can also make blackboard newspapers and draw chalk pictures. I can also translate general literary works into English. Last year, I participated in the provincial mathematics competition and won second place overall."
