Yu Xiangnian understood Xiaojie. Although the child was a little naughty, he was sensitive and sensible, and knew how to try not to cause trouble for her and Cheng Jingmo.

Therefore, Xiaojie will not fight with anyone unless he is mad enough.

Duan Yuanlong shrank back, hiding behind his mother, and said, "He fought with me, and when he couldn't win, he hit me on the head with a rock."

The family member angrily said to Yu Xiangnian, "Longlong's head was cut so badly, and he even needed two stitches. Don't you feel bad for your child?"

Yu Xiangnian showed no expression. "Then I'll ask Xiaojie."

Yu Xiangnian leaned down, facing Xiaojie, and said, "Xiaojie, why did you and Duan Yuanlong fight?"

Xiao Jie still clenched his fists and said angrily, "He's talking nonsense!"

"What did he say?" Yu Xiangnian asked again.

"He said... he said..." Xiao Jie choked up before he could finish, "My uncle is dead!"

Yu Xiangnian's expression changed.

The onlookers looked at each other, and finally everyone's eyes fell on the family member.

The family member's face showed panic for a moment, then calmed down.

Yu Xiangnian's voice grew colder. "What else did he say?"

"Duan Yuanlong said that after my uncle died, you would definitely remarry, and then I would become an unwanted child again." Xiao Jie started crying as he spoke.

"Don't cry." Yu Xiangnian took out some toilet paper from his pocket and wiped Xiaojie's tears. "I won't abandon you."

Then he stood up straight, staring coldly at the family member, "Sister-in-law, you heard why the children fought. Your child must apologize to Xiaojie!"

"Apologize?!" The family member snorted coldly, as if he had heard a joke. "My dragon head was broken, and you didn't even ask your Xiaojie to apologize! Xiaojie hit someone, and you think you're right?"

Yu Xiangnian said, "Your child did something wrong first, so Xiaojie broke his head."

The family member argued, "That's what Xiaojie said! My Longlong would definitely not say that!"

As she spoke, she pulled Longlong out from behind her and said to him with her head down, "Longlong, tell them, did you say those words?"

She lowered her head, and no one else could see her winking at Longlong, hinting that Longlong should not admit it.

But before Longlong could say anything, Dong Jiannan stood up and said, "Duan Yuanlong said it, I heard it!"

Daya also stood up and said: "I heard it too. Xiaojie was almost crying with anger at that time, so he fought with him."

Feng Aiqun was also present at this time. She had been elected to the Family Committee some time ago. This situation was the perfect time to demonstrate the role of the Family Committee.

She squeezed through the crowd and said, puffing out her chest with a very proud look, "Sister-in-law Yuling, this is your Longlong's fault. How can you say that about Deputy Commander Cheng's family? Make Longlong apologize!"

After saying that, she winked, meaning that it was no big deal and that she could just apologize and be done with it.

Sister Yuling also understood Feng Aiqun's meaning. Besides, although she had never experienced the temper of that evil woman Yu Xiangnian, she had seen it with her own eyes.

She pulled Longlong from behind her and came in front of her, scolding him harshly: "How can you say such things?! It's not your fault, go and apologize to Xiaojie!" Then she dragged Longlong in front of Xiaojie.

Longlong pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, "Xiaojie, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those words. I apologize to you!"

After Longlong finished speaking, Sister Yuling pulled him away.

Yu Xiangnian said calmly, "Sister-in-law Yuling, don't leave yet!"

Sister Yuling paused and looked at Feng Aiqun in panic.

Feng Aiqun couldn't guess what Yu Xiangnian was going to do, so she gave him a look that said, "Don't panic."

Yu Xiangnian said clearly, "You have to apologize too!"

When she heard that she also wanted to apologize, Sister Yuling turned around and said angrily, "Comrade Yu, don't push your luck! There's a conflict between the children, why should I apologize?"

Yu Xiangnian's expression was stern. "If you hadn't said those words in front of the child, would he have said that?"

Yu Xiangnian knew that many family members must be discussing the death of Cheng Jingmo and others in private. She had to make an example of them today to stop this rumor!

Sister Yuling opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Cheng Jingmo went out on a mission, and you spread rumors behind his back saying he was dead? You're also a military family member, and you don't wish them well. Saying such things, don't you feel guilty? Don't you feel unworthy of the title of military family member?"

"Don't mention that he doesn't know his current situation. Even if he died, it was for the country and the people. You should teach your children to learn from their spirit of selfless dedication, instead of telling them that I will remarry and Xiaojie will become an unwanted child!"

Every word Yu Xiangnian said was powerful and moved the military families present.

Everyone put themselves in her shoes and think about it. If your man was out on a mission and someone said this behind his back, he would be even angrier than Yu Xiangnian!

Sister Yuling's face turned pale and then red, then red and then pale, "I... I didn't say that!"

Yu Xiangnian said, "Why don't you ask Longlong if you have ever said that?"

Sister Yuling quickly covered Longlong's mouth.

Her reaction said it all.

"I didn't mean it. I didn't have any bad intentions. I didn't want anything to happen to Deputy Captain Cheng and the others. I just said it casually, but I didn't know the child would hear it." She explained embarrassedly.

Yu Xiangnian said: "Whether you did it on purpose or not, it has caused harm to my family."

Feng Aiqin quickly intervened, "Sister-in-law Yuling, you were wrong this time too. How could you say those things? You should apologize too!"

The family members standing by also said with deep emotion: "It's time to apologize!"

After apologizing in front of so many people, Sister Yuling felt like slapping herself twice.

Why would you say those things in front of the kids?!

She was silent for a long time, and after a long period of mental preparation, she finally spoke, "Yes... yes... I'm sorry, Comrade Yu, I shouldn't have said those words."

Yu Xiangnian was not one to let go even if she was right. She said, "I accept the apology. Please don't say such things again."

Yu Xiangnian held Xiaojie's hand and walked home. Xiaojie had grown to the height of Yu Xiangnian's chest.

The two figures, one tall and one short, look like mother and son from behind, very harmonious.

Back home, Xiao Jie hung his head in guilt, "Aunt, I've caused you trouble again."

"No." Yu Xiangnian led Xiaojie to sit on the bench and sat down opposite him. "You did nothing wrong. You are protecting our family."

Xiaojie raised his face and looked at her with shining eyes.

Yu Xiangnian added, "But I have a suggestion for you. If you encounter a situation like this in the future, you can hit them as hard as you can, but don't use rocks or sticks or anything like that. If you hurt someone, you'll be in trouble."

"Yeah." Xiaojie nodded.

After a pause, he continued, "Aunt, what happened to my uncle?"
