Seeing Qi Guoqiang remained silent, Wu Qin could only bite the bullet and pretend to be pitiful. "Dad, Guoqiang and I have had a rough time these past few years. My health broke down when I gave birth to Weidong. I've been seeking medical help everywhere, but to no avail. We haven't saved anything, so I'm hoping Guoqiang's position will change so he can get a higher salary and we can have a better life."
Old Xu was also a sharp-tongued person. He had always disliked the couple, but now he couldn't help himself. "Then let him move? What did you say to Lao Qi? You don't think that the military doesn't have any selection or assessment for promotions. Just let anyone say something and they'll get promoted, right? What are you daydreaming about? Besides, there's something seriously wrong with your thinking. You need to be investigated."
Wu Qin was startled, her face turning pale. She had heard of people being put in solitary confinement for investigation due to ideological problems. "No, no, there's definitely nothing wrong with my thoughts. I just said that, I didn't mean anything else."
"Why did you come here to say this if you don't have any other intentions? Do you think the three of us are senile or foolish?" After saying this, Old Xu squinted at Qi Guoqiang and said, "Do you know how many military achievements Mo Nan has made last year? Don't just stare at the chair under his butt with envy. Ask how much blood and sweat he has put in before sitting on that chair, and then think about whether you are worthy of it."
Qi Guoqiang lowered his head even more. He regretted that he shouldn't have come today.
Seeing that this path was a dead end, Wu Qin immediately changed her mind. "Dad, Weidong will be back from school in a couple of days. He's always admired you and dreams of becoming a soldier like you one day. I'll bring him to you and you can help me teach him."
Weidong?
Old Qi couldn't even remember what Qi Weidong looked like. He had never seen him many times in his memory, and he never called him grandpa when they met. Ha!
"If you don't bring it here, I don't have time to teach it. You two can just teach it now. Is there anything else? Go ahead and don't come here again."
Old Qi's voice was calm, but every word he said hit Qi Guoqiang and Wu Qin hard in the face.
Qi Guoqiang was too embarrassed to stay any longer. He didn't even have the courage to look up at his father. He just responded softly and turned to leave.
Wu Qin didn't want to leave, but Qi Guoqiang had already left. It was meaningless for her to stay and say anything. She could only fake a smile and say a few polite words before chasing after him.
Before Wu Qin even left the door, Qi Guoqiang was also outside not far away. Old Xu's sighing voice could be heard, "Marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations. This saying is absolutely correct."
When Wu Qin heard this, she staggered and almost fell flat on her face. If she hadn't had some sense left, she would have really wanted to rush over, slap the old man in the face, and then tear his mouth apart.
What he said clearly meant that Qi Guoqiang was in his current predicament because he married Wu Qin, an unvirtuous wife.
At this time, Mr. Qi spoke up, "Neither of us is a good person, so no one should blame anyone else."
Qi Guoqiang also heard it, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he was too embarrassed to refute.
On the way from the Western-style building area to his residence, he thought a lot.
The scene of his father always complaining about his father in front of him when he was a child, the scene of his father trying hard to please him and his sister after returning home, and no matter how cold he and his sister were to him, he would follow them with a smile and play with them.
Later, his father's position became higher and higher, and he spent less and less time at home. His and his sister's lives became more and more busy. In order to be the object of others' envy, his mother enjoyed everyone's attention while constantly complaining at home that his father was incompetent, never came home, only knew how to take money home, and never wanted to accompany her.
