She didn't dare to look, she really didn't have any courage at all. Even though she had already made the worst plan in her mind, she didn't dare to imagine how she would feel when this worst plan came true.

"It's okay, it's okay, ma'am. Brigade Commander Zhan is very capable, he will be fine."

His skills?

Yes, when he was carrying out the mission, he was the only one who came back alive from such a dangerous mission, but he had already escaped death that time, could he escape this time?

"Madam, your elder sister is back."

At this moment, Wang Yuxia hurried back. When Ren Rongzheng heard Aunt Jin's words and saw Wang Yuxia running towards her, his heart felt like it had stopped beating.

She was particularly afraid that Wang Yuxia would bring her bad news, so when Wang Yuxia stood in front of her, she didn't even dare to ask.

"Rong Zheng, don't worry. I've carefully looked through the two lists, and Brigade Commander Zhan's name is not on them."

After hearing this, Ren Rongzheng was so scared that her body became limp. Wang Yuxia and Aunt Jin quickly supported her.

"real?"

"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you about something like this? Brigade Commander Zhan is safe and sound, don't worry."

After confirming it was true, Ren Rongzheng placed her hand on her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. After she breathed a sigh of relief, she quickly asked, "Are there many soldiers who have injured the king?"

"Quite a few. The injured soldiers have been sent to the hospital immediately and are receiving treatment. The bodies of the fallen soldiers will also be transported back as soon as possible."

"Then...were there many soldiers who died? Who were they?"

Wang Yuxia's expression was very solemn when she heard Rong Zheng's question. After all, she had lived in the military compound for so many years, and these soldiers' soldiers had been her neighbors for many years. And more importantly...

"Sister, please speak up. Were there many soldiers who died? Who were they?"

Ren Rongzheng's voice was trembling when he asked this question. Those were living lives, soldiers with wives and children, and they would never come back. Who wouldn't be heartbroken?

"There are seven soldiers on the death list, one of whom is... Deputy Political Commissar Zhang."

"Deputy Political Commissar Zhang?!"

Is it really Zhang Lai Fu?

Hearing this, Ren Rongzheng suddenly felt dizzy. Wasn't she just having a nightmare? Aren't dreams always the opposite of what they actually are? Why did it become real?

Ren Rongzheng really couldn't accept it. How could Zhang Laifu, such a good person, suddenly... ?

Ren Rongzheng was helped to the notice booth by Wang Yuxia and Aunt Jin. As soon as he approached, he saw Jiang Shufen slumped on the ground, crying loudly.

"My old Zhang, why is it you? Why is it you? I knew you would definitely rush forward, you idiot, why are you rushing forward on the battlefield?

If you die, what will happen to me and my child? How will my child and I survive? Why did it have to be you? Why did it have to be you? Why did you abandon us?"

Jiang Shufen cried inconsolably, and the people around her also cried. They were all neighbors who had lived together for so many years, and this was only the first list of casualties.

The war continues, and there might be a list of casualties like this every day. If not today, what about tomorrow? How many days will it take before I can finally let go?

Ren Rongzheng couldn't help crying, thinking about when she had just moved into the military compound and met Zhang Lai Fu, it seemed like it was just yesterday.

Even though her relationship with Jiang Shufen was so bad, Zhang Lai Fu could be said to be selfless. When she wanted to divorce Zhan Beiqin, he even persuaded her.

How could such a good person never come back?

"Sister Jiang, please accept my condolences."

The military wives rushed to comfort Jiang Shufen, but how could they mourn over such a thing? She was truly devastated.

Ever since she married Zhang Lai Fu and came to join the army, she has been a housewife and has relied on Zhang Lai Fu for her survival. She has never thought about what would happen if he was no longer in her life.

"I can't live anymore, I really can't live anymore. Lao Zhang, why did you leave like this? Take me away... Take me away too!"

At this moment, no matter what grudges they had before, they all disappeared, and she was just a poor woman who lost her husband.

Because of the list of casualties, the military wives, who had originally boosted their morale, became like eggplants hit by frost and had no energy to do anything.

In fact, the same thing happened to Ren Rongzheng. She returned home like a walking corpse and sat on the bed in a daze.

"Rong Zheng, you didn't sleep well last night. Why don't you take a nap?"

"I can't sleep, and I'm afraid to sleep."

Afraid to sleep?

"I'm afraid I'll have another nightmare when I fall asleep, and the faces of the dead soldiers will appear in my dreams again. I'm even more afraid of seeing Zhan Beiqin..."

She was really scared. She was afraid to sleep now, afraid of having nightmares after falling asleep. She was also afraid to stay up like this, because staying up like this would only make her more wild and worried.

So what should we do?

"It's just a coincidence. You just happened to dream about it, and then it happened to come true. Don't think too much about it."

"This is real, isn't it, sister? We're not dreaming now, are we? Did Deputy Political Commissar Zhang really die?"

Wang Yuxia also wanted to say that this was not true, that she was just dreaming, but it was just the fact, so she could only lower her head.

Ren Rongzheng couldn't help crying, and then said worriedly, "Who will be on the casualty list tomorrow? When will this war end?"

This kind of life was torture every day, and the key point was that there were still more than three months left, because Zhan Beiqin had not returned when she gave birth in her dream.

Is it that the war will last this long, or is it that during this period, the battle of Beiqin has already...

Thinking of this, she felt a real pain in her heart.

"What should I do, big sister? I have a very bad premonition, I'm so scared..."

"Don't be afraid, everything will be fine. Brigade Commander Zhan will definitely come back safely. Let's not go to the factory today and just rest at home."

Factory?

The factory is basically full of military wives. She didn't expect that the factory would be hit by war not long after it opened. In this situation, how could the military wives still have the mood to work?

"Sister-in-law, you and Lin Musen will be in charge these days. Recruit a new batch of female workers. Prioritize those left-behind rural women. They can do the work. We need to make preparations for both scenarios."

"Okay, Rong Zheng, I'll go with Lin Musen now and I'll be back to accompany you before dark."

"Thank you for your hard work, big sister."

"Don't say that. I'm going first."

After Wang Yuxia walked out, Ren Rongzheng continued to sit on the bed in a daze. Why did this happen?
