You'll understand when you grow up.

If they were in that situation, they might make the same choice as Su Yueya in order not to upset the children too much.

Therefore, the military wives all felt that Su Yueya and her two children were really too pitiful.

"These two kids are so well-behaved, they don't cry or make a fuss. If it were my kid, his dad was gone, he'd probably cause a huge mess! It's heartbreaking!"

"Isn't that right? What an obedient child! He's never seen his father since he was born. It's really... sigh!"

"Commander Lu is a great hero, a good soldier, and our role model! That Deng Wenfang is so foul-mouthed, saying such things in front of the children! Oh my, seeing their aggrieved looks, on the verge of tears, really breaks my heart..."

They were all mothers, and all military wives, so they could empathize with Su Yueya's current situation and felt sorry for her.

At the same time, they disliked Deng Wenfang's actions even more.

Deng Wenfang not only stood against Su Yueya, but her outrageous remarks also put her in direct opposition to all military wives.

She has narrowed her own path in life, and yet she thinks that others are targeting her!

"That Deng Wenfang is really inhuman and doesn't speak like a human being. Take today's incident for example, what did she do right? She even said that throwing the cat was nothing, but I think it's just a lack of respect for life!"

"Yes! The kitten was bought with money, and it's a living creature, yet people treat it so carelessly! Does someone like that deserve to be a mother?"

"To be honest, if I were Yueya, I wouldn't even want my son to apologize. What kind of thing is this! Wu Feiyu attacked the cat first, so the one who attacked first should apologize!"

"So Yueya has a big heart, she suggested apologizing to each other, but Deng Wenfang wasn't happy about it! But then she realized we were all on Yueya's side, so she chickened out and was willing to apologize. But after apologizing, she had to be sarcastic and say such hurtful things to the two kids..."

"I feel ashamed to live in the same compound as someone like that!"

"With the way she raises her child, I think she'll get into trouble sooner or later! Right now, he's just a little kid, so it's nothing serious since they're all from the same compound. But when he's older and no longer in this compound, will people still spoil him? Dream on!"

The military wives began discussing what had just happened, expressing their dissatisfaction with Deng Wenfang's actions and their sympathy for Su Yueya.

Su Yueya had no interest in this scene and did not stay to continue "playing the victim".

She is now more concerned about the mental health of her two little ones.

"Xiaoyuan, An'an, let's take the milk home together, okay?" Su Yueya asked.

"Um."

The two children lost interest and didn't want to play outside anymore.

Holding the milk, Lu Si'an and her brother were led by their mother, one on each side, as they slowly walked towards home.

They went out happily, but when they returned, their smiles were gone, replaced by gloom and dejection.

The two little ones had never been so silent as they were at this moment.

Su Yueya was heartbroken.

"Are you still sad?" Su Yueya pretended to be cheerful, trying to comfort her two little ones. "Don't you believe Mommy's words? Daddy is really just doing a mission. Once he finishes his mission, he will come back to see Xiaoyuan and An'an. Daddy loves you very, very much!"

"However, he has more important things to do now, so he has to leave you. Actually, Dad is also very sad, so Xiaoyuan and An'an should be more understanding of Dad, okay?"

“Trust Mom!” Lu Siyuan said immediately, forcing back her sadness. “It’s just that I miss Dad so much…”

"I miss Daddy, An'an misses Daddy too, boo-hoo—" Lu Si'an almost burst into tears, but when she realized she was really about to cry, she immediately bit her lip to stop herself from actually crying.

She's not usually this strong!

But for some reason, her mother seemed to be very sad as well, so Lu Si'an didn't want to cry anymore. She didn't want her mother to be sad while also comforting her and her brother.

Su Yueya's eyes instantly turned red.

She could endure anything, let alone Lu Zhengjun's departure for the greater good of the country, which she absolutely supported without any hesitation.

But faced with two innocent children, Su Yueya really couldn't ask them to bear all of this as well...

"Yes, Mom misses Dad too, just like Xiaoyuan and An'an. Dad misses us too. Our family misses each other. We will be together someday, we definitely will!" Su Yueya said, trying to smile.

"We definitely will!" the two little ones said.

When we got home, all the other members were already home.

Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an, who usually come to welcome everyone with boundless energy, were unusually listless today, which immediately made their family members feel that something was wrong.

"An'an, why don't you come over and let your little uncle hold you?" Qiao Gaoyang took the initiative to walk to Lu Si'an's side and picked her up from playing with milk.

When I hugged her, I saw her red and swollen eyes.

"She cried?" Qiao Gaoyang was shocked.

He subconsciously looked at Lu Siyuan, because the two siblings were always together, and if Lu Si'an cried, then Lu Siyuan would definitely know.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Lu Siyuan's eyes were also red.

What's wrong?

“Come on, you two tell your uncle what happened? Did your mother beat you for being disobedient?” Qiao Gaoyang asked with reasonable suspicion.

In this family, the only person who can be slightly strict with the two little ones is their biological mother, Su Yueya; everyone else indulges and spoils them without any limits.

“No, Mom would never hit us,” Lu Siyuan said, without explaining why.

“An’an said,” Qiao Gaoyang asked Lu Si’an again.

She shook her head too.

Qiao Gaoyang became even more puzzled.

Finally, they found Su Yueya, who told them everything that had happened that day. Only then did the adults understand why the two little ones had such pitiful expressions, as if they had been crying.

"I'm so angry!" Qiao Xinruo slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

She truly hadn't expected that there would be such a clueless military wife in the compound. She had thought that Mo Youyou's family was the most problematic, but it turned out there was someone even more capable.

"How can she say such things in front of a child? Is she even human?"

Qiao Xinruo only regretted that she wasn't there at the time. If she had been there, she definitely wouldn't have been as gentle as her sister. She would have gone up and torn Deng Wenfang's mouth apart, or made a big scene and dragged Deng Wenfang to the army to find the leaders and let them judge the matter!

Lu Zhengjun sacrificed himself for his mission, and in the end, his wife and children were humiliated by other military wives?
