This matter is not difficult to investigate; Sister He had already gathered the military dependents of the regiment together.

Because it was Wang Cuixiang who said it, people are still hesitant to expose her.

When He Dajun heard Wei Aiguo say that he wanted to apologize to Deputy Regiment Commander Xing, he felt something was wrong and ran to tell his mother.

Sister-in-law He knew this was a huge scandal. In her anger, she even brought in the people from other groups who were spreading rumors.

When Commander He arrived, almost all the people who spread the rumors were there! That made things much easier. A direct confrontation would reveal the exact origin of the rumors.

“This is your regiment’s business, don’t involve me,” said the wife of the second regiment commander.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? It's too late now. The division commander and deputy army commander both know about your spreading rumors. You'll have to explain yourselves to the higher-ups later!"

The families of soldiers from the Second Regiment got involved, and the regimental commander couldn't escape either. Regimental Commander He also summoned him…

Fang Shengjie was very unhappy after making the phone call. Everyone felt sorry for him. His maternal grandmother had always been the one in charge at home.

Several people were with Fang Shengjie, and they all said that since the things were all together, Sister Song assumed that everyone had brought them together and wouldn't ask who brought what. Fang Shengjie didn't need to worry about it.

Fang Shengjie is at an age where vanity is naturally a strong factor. His parents' impending divorce has already made him lose face. And then this happened today…

"Look, how come they're coming back from the shooting range?"

"Let's go take a look."

The facts are very clear: Wang Cuixiang's attempt to take advantage of Song Yan failed, and unexpectedly, she harbored thoughts of revenge. The military dependents, without distinguishing right from wrong, followed the rumors. Led by Sister He, the dependents of the First Regiment didn't actually spread the rumors. It was the dependents of the Second Regiment who were talking about it enthusiastically.

The regimental commander of the Second Regiment was furious. What were these old women doing, showing off like that? The division commander and Deputy Army Commander Wang caught them red-handed.

Eight or nine family members of soldiers from the Second Regiment testified that Wang Cuixiang was spreading rumors. She couldn't deny it even if she wanted to.

Wang Cuixiang not only used foul language and spread rumors, but her behavior was also... she wanted to see young, naked soldiers... no one dared to mention that again. But even Deputy Regiment Commander Xing felt that he was being cuckolded.

The final resolution of this matter was left to Commander He. However, the most important point was that Wang Cuixiang must apologize to Comrade Song Yan and obtain his forgiveness.

There was no other way to do this, since the military does not have the right to dispose of the families of its soldiers.

Deputy Commander Wang and Division Commander Qiu gave the leaders of both regiments a thorough dressing-down. How did they manage the families of their soldiers? Shouldn't soldiers be responsible for their own families first? And this is the mess they've made! Deputy Regiment Commander Xing must submit a profound self-criticism…

When Commander He recounted what had happened, he let several teenagers hear the whole story.

Qiu Hai was furious. Sister Song went to treat and save lives, and instead, she was treated so badly...

“What should we do? We ate her cooking, shouldn’t we stand up for her?” Xu Liangsheng said.

The moment they mentioned standing up for their sister, the children looked at each other. It was because they wanted to vent their anger for Fang Jinghua that they got into trouble.

Qiu Hai: "When it comes to venting your anger, there's a method to it, and you have to be reasonable, right? I'll call my mom and ask her what to do. So we don't end up causing trouble again if we don't handle things properly."

Qiu Hai called his mother's performing arts troupe. When his mother heard that Comrade Song Yan had suffered such injustice, she was shocked. Who was Song Yan? He was their benefactor! It could be said that her eldest son's happiness for the rest of his life was entirely due to him. If Qiu Hai's mother hadn't retained a shred of reason, she would have rolled up her sleeves and given that deputy troupe leader's wife a good beating. She took a few deep breaths.

“Son, you did the right thing. Ask your mother about this. This isn’t something that can be solved with a beating. Listen to me…” Qiu Hai kept nodding.

"Let's go tell Sister Song!" Qiu Hai led the way and left first.

When Song Yan returned from fishing, she noticed that none of the military dependents who had been chatting outside were there. She started cleaning the fish as soon as she got home.

Qiu Hai and a few other guys came over and recounted what had happened. Song Yan sighed in agreement. She felt that Wei Aiguo wasn't the type to suffer such a loss.

"Alright, let them say whatever they want. I think the military will eventually give me justice."

I went fishing really early this morning. We're having fish for lunch today.

Xu Liangsheng pointed at the fish and exclaimed, "These fish are quite big, sis! Did you catch them all?"

"Of course. You can eat as much as you want at noon." Song Yan himself also wanted to eat fish.

“Sister Song, we only give you two cents a day. You feed us such big fish, aren’t you losing out?” Wang Jinhui asked.

"I caught this fish, as I just said. I didn't spend a single penny!" Song Yan prepared to clean the fish.

Qiu Haiha and Wang Jinhui hesitated. Qiu Haiha's mother said that they didn't need to loudly support Song Yan.

This noon, Qiu Hai and Wang Jinhui went to lunch with their father. Then others will know Qiu Hai and Wang Jinhui's identities.

They should act as if they are familiar with Song Yan and show him respect in every way. Naturally, those who want to speak recklessly will think twice before they speak.

If Qiu Hai and his friends don't want to eat in the cafeteria, they can just take their food from Song Yan and go to their dads. There's no need to worry about taking advantage of Song Yan. If they take too much, Qiu Hai's mother will definitely pay it back for them later.

Qiu Hai and his friends weren't completely ignorant of social etiquette, and they could guess why Qiu Hai's mother had asked them to do this. But they hadn't expected the fish to be so large for lunch; was it appropriate to take it away?

"What's wrong with you two?" Song Yan noticed that Qiu Hai and Wang Jinhui were looking at each other, and knew that something must be wrong.
