Zhao Feifei whispered:
"I need to speak with Commander Zhou. Is Commander Zhou home?"
Zhao Feifei had been standing at the door for a while. She wasn't a very bold person, let alone someone who would do something so shameful.
Zhao Feifei had used up most of her courage on the way, and when she arrived at Commander Zhou's house, she hesitated.
Just then, Aunt Zhou came out, and Zhao Feifei mustered up her courage again, ready to do as Aunt Zhou said.
Sister-in-law Zhou looked Zhao Feifei up and down:
"You're Zhao Feifei?"
Zhao Feifei thought that Sister-in-law Zhou had also heard the rumors, and she was secretly delighted:
"I'm Zhao Feifei, does my sister-in-law know me?"
Aunt Zhou decided not to leave and led Zhao Feifei into the house:
"Old Zhou, Zhao Feifei has arrived. You can ask her anything in person."
Seeing that Qiu Zean was also there, Zhao Feifei's eyes widened. Instead of standing next to Qiu Zean, she moved closer to Song Chunwei.
Song Chunwei seemed to have bumped into something dirty and quickly hid next to Commander Zhou.
He'd better be careful; he's still a bachelor. If Zhao Feifei can't get back at Qiu Ze'an and starts targeting him, he'll be in deep trouble!
Commander Zhou looked at Zhao Feifei:
"Comrade Zhao, just say what's on your mind."
Zhao Feifei murmured:
"I, I, I wanted to talk about my relationship with Brother Ze'an?"
Commander Zhou pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth:
"Ze'an, I heard from Ze'an that you and Ze'an are neighbors?"
Zhao Feifei nodded:
"Our two families lived in the same compound and grew up together as childhood sweethearts."
Chiu Tse-an clarifies:
“I’m 25 and you’re 20. I grew up with my maternal grandparents until I was 10 and never even met you. I joined the army at 16. You were only 11 when I joined the army. How can this be considered childhood sweethearts?”
Song Chunwei's divine assist:
"It's like a child-friendly version of childhood sweethearts, Comrade Zhao is so proud of his ability to coax children."
Zhao Feifei hurriedly defended herself:
"That's not how it is. My family and Ze'an's family are very supportive of my relationship with him!"
Song Chunwei sabotages:
"Wow, what a mess! Ze'an doesn't want to, but his family does. Comrade Zhao, are you trying to marry into Ze'an's family?"
Zhao Feifei shook her head:
"I...I'm not marrying into Ze'an's family, I'm marrying Ze'an himself. I really like Ze'an..."
Song Chunwei continued to undermine:
"Comrade Zhao, you don't care at all whether your brother Ze'an has taken a liking to you or not!"
"You just pick him, is this some kind of princess choosing a husband? As long as you agree, Ze'an's opinion doesn't matter?"
Zhao Feifei subconsciously looked at Qiu Zean, hoping that Qiu Zean could help him out of this predicament.
At this moment, Qiu Zean was looking at Song Chunwei with admiration, and Song Chunwei gave Qiu Zean a rather smug look.
Don't just admire it; I won't skimp on any of the benefits you deserve.
What are the benefits?
You made a tank out of bullet casings, you know what I mean.
Qiu Zean: I don't understand a thing.
He's still helping Zhao Feifei. Qiu Ze'an hasn't gone crazy yet. He's practically applauding Song Chunwei now. This is practically a stand-up comedy routine. He's really dismantled the stage perfectly!
Zhao Feifei lowered her head:
"My family and Uncle Qiu's family have already made arrangements, and Brother Ze'an will be with me..."
Qiu Zean interrupted Zhao Feifei:
"Comrade Zhao, my father is just looking out for my opinion. He knows I'm avoiding you like the plague, so he has no intention of trying to match us up."
"As for Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao, I made it clear when I went back last time. Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao also said that they only treat me as a nephew and feel that the two of us are not suitable. When you said that the two families have already made arrangements, who are you referring to who made arrangements with whom?"
Zhao Feifei was speechless after being rebuked. Uncle Qiu had never revealed that he wanted her to be his daughter-in-law; it had always been Aunt Zhou who relayed the message.
After her brother Ze'an explained things to her family, her parents arranged a new blind date for her. The blind date turned out to be the third son of the Lin family, who was completely useless.
She didn't want to marry the third son of the Lin family; how could he compare to her brother Ze'an?
Zhao Feifei bit her lower lip:
“Brother Ze’an, we’re already, we’re already together, how can you say we’re not suitable?”
"I know you've been blinded by those vixens outside. I don't blame you, and I'm willing to give you another chance."
Zhao Feifei's words came out so quickly that even Qiu Zean didn't have time to react.
Qiu Zean thought that since they had broken Zhao Feifei up, she couldn't cling to him anymore and make things so ugly!
Sister-in-law Zhou couldn't stand it any longer and pressed on:
"You're saying you're with Ze'an? What proof do you have?"
Zhao Feifei covered her face, looking embarrassed.
“I, I have a handkerchief with fallen blood.”
This was the last trump card Aunt Zhou had prepared for her before she set off. The two of them had agreed that this trump card would not be used until the very last moment.
Zhao Feifei felt that she had already found Commander Zhou, and this was the last moment. She had to get Commander Zhou on her side now.
Qiu Ze'an was so angry that his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. If Zhao Feifei weren't a woman, he would have loved to punch her in the mouth right now.
Aunt Zhou nudged Qiu Ze'an with her elbow, telling him to calm down. Aunt Zhou chuckled and said:
"Comrade Zhao, do you know that hospitals can check whether someone is a young woman or a newlywed?"
Aunt Zhou was in charge of mediating all the big and small matters in the family compound. Even if she hadn't seen this kind of thing herself, she had at least heard about it.
Zhao Feifei suddenly looked up, staring at Aunt Zhou in disbelief. Aunt Zhou nodded firmly.
"If you make up such things, you're framing a soldier, which is illegal. Not only will it implicate you, but it will also affect your father. Think it over carefully. Once you understand, we'll pretend we didn't hear what you just said."
This kind of thing is bad for a young woman, and it's not much better for Qiu Ze'an either. If it's possible to avoid getting involved, Sister-in-law Zhou still hopes that Qiu Ze'an won't get involved.
Zhao Feifei was completely bewildered at this moment, unsure whether what Sister Zhou said was true or a trick to deceive her. She had never heard of such a thing being investigated.
Actually, this is purely a matter of information asymmetry. Qian Huijie lived in the compound, so naturally she had heard about and knew about such things, but how could she possibly tell her own daughter about such sordid matters?
Although Aunt Zhou lived in the compound, she was a mistress who rose to power, and everyone despised her. Nobody wanted to associate with her, and she was really out of touch with everyone.
Aunt Zhou herself wasn't very educated and had no idea that hospitals could perform this test.
It's gotten to this point, and Aunt Zhou hasn't said anything about investigating it. Zhao Feifei still leans towards the idea that this is a scam. Zhao Feifei calms herself down:
"How could I make up such a thing? I even brought my handkerchief."
After saying that, Zhao Feifei took out a clean white handkerchief from her pocket, with a striking red stain on it.
