Chapter 46 Raising Someone Else's Daughter (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Shen Jiang squatted down in front of Xu Qingmo and wiped the dirt off her face with his hand.
"Dad knows that Momo wants to protect everyone, but you are still young, so safety comes first. Listen to Dad, don't go to dangerous places in the future. If you really want to go, I can take you with me when I have time off."
Shen Jiang couldn't be too harsh on Xu Qingmo.
Xu Qingmo blinked her innocent big eyes, "When can Daddy rest?"
"It's not certain yet. I have a mission assigned to me recently, which requires me to be away for a week. Momo, stay home and listen to your mother. I'll ask you if I can take a leave of absence when I get back."
Shen Jiang gently touched the tip of Xu Qingmo's nose.
Xu Qingmo wrinkled her little nose. "Don't worry, I'm very capable."
Shen Jiang was still worried, so he asked Wang Jing and Xu Qingmo to talk to her.
Wang Jing said, "Mo Mo can go wherever she wants, as long as she doesn't do anything bad."
Shen Jiang, "..."
He hugged Xu Qingmo tightly, showing her immense affection.
"Momo should be wearing a little dress and playing happily in the family compound." Shen Jiang hopes that she can grow up safely and happily.
After all, both Wang Jing and Xu Qingmo had suffered too much injustice and hardship in Xujia Village.
Now that he has brought them into the family compound, he is doing everything in his power to ensure that Xu Qingmo and Wang Jing can live a better life.
“Dad, I can play in the family compound or outside. Mom says I can do whatever I want. Dad, you need to change your mindset and be like Mom, you need to trust me,” Xu Qingmo said.
Shen Jiang sighed. This was the first time his daughter had asked him for something.
Although he was still worried, he did not refuse.
He nodded helplessly. "You can move around freely, but you have to promise Dad that if you encounter any danger, you must run away quickly. Don't be reckless. Go home and ask me for help, okay?"
The family of four walked towards the family compound, and the soldiers at the gate saluted Chen Jiang.
Shen Jiang returned the salute.
Wang Jing led Lu Ting by the hand, and Lu Ting held a rabbit in his hand, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
Many people expressed their envy.
Xu Qingmo saw Wang Xiaohu and his mother Cai Qinqin appear at the door of her house and warned, "Dad, didn't you say you'd come looking for me if there was danger? Well, here comes the danger."
Wang Xiaohu cried and made a scene, trying to snatch the black fish from the soldier's hand, but the soldier simply wouldn't give it to him.
"I'm sorry, a young girl gave this to me, saying she wanted to give it to Commander Shen. Commander Shen hasn't gone home yet, so I can't give you this fish."
Cai Qinqin's face darkened. "Why are you so stubborn? That little girl is only a few years old. How could she possibly catch a fish as big as mine? Look, my Xiaohu is soaking wet, and his father's arm is injured. This blackfish is perfect for stewing for his father. Hurry up and bring me the fish."
"No, that's against the rules."
"Are you out of your mind? I've explained so much to you, why can't you understand?" Cai Qinqin was extremely frustrated.
“I said no, and that means no. We’ll give it to you when Commander Shen comes back. I’m not in a position to decide whether to give you this fish right now.”
Wang Xiaohu grabbed the man's leg and bit down on his calf.
He snarled as he tried to snatch the fish, shouting, "Give me back my fish! It's mine! Xu Qingmo took it!"
"What are you doing?" Shen Jiang shouted angrily, and strode forward.
The soldier carrying the fish breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the newcomers. "Commander Shen, you're finally back! This little girl asked me to bring this fish over. I hadn't seen you return, so I was thinking of taking the fish back to the gate, but Company Commander Wang's family stopped me from leaving."
Wang Xiaohu cried and made a fuss, "The fish is mine, I caught it to make soup for my dad."
Actually, he wanted to eat fish, but he hadn't been able to catch any.
Adding to the fact that Xu Qingmo had treated him so badly today, he directly called Cai Qinqin over to fight for the fish together.
"You say the fish is yours, what proof do you have?" Shen Jiang questioned.
“I’m older than Xu Qingmo. Look, my clothes are all soaked, and I’ve been bitten by leeches on my legs. All of this proves that I jumped into the river.” Wang Xiaohu repeated what Cai Qinqin had taught him beforehand.
Cai Qinqin put her hands on her hips and said, "Commander Shen, you can't just protect your new wife and children and not give us justice just because you just married a new wife. We will never leave."
Wang Xiaohu: "Give me the fish, give it to me!"
Xu Qingmo rolled her eyes. "Didn't you tell anyone that you lied in the water and scared the fish away?"
Wang Xiaohu felt a little guilty. "No, nothing like that happened."
Everyone could see his guilty look.
Xu Qingmo continued, "When you were bitten by a leech, did you cry out for help? Did I help you get rid of the leech?"
Wang Xiaohu remained silent and lowered his head.
"If I had known you wanted to steal my fish, I shouldn't have helped you get rid of the leeches and let them suck all your blood," Xu Qingmo said deliberately, trying to scare you.
Wang Xiaohu was terrified of leeches, and his arm around Cai Qinqin trembled.
Tsai Chin-chin felt very sorry for her son, especially after hearing that he had been bitten by leeches.
"Commander Shen, is this how you usually educate your children? What were you thinking, letting her deliberately scare my Xiaohu?" Cai Qinqin asked, her face showing dissatisfaction.
“My sons are very well-behaved and obedient. He was just telling the truth. If you’re not happy about it, Sister Cai, you can stop coming to my doorstep.” Shen Jiang directly defended Cai Qinqin and Wang Xiaohu, shooing them away.
Tsai Chin-chin blushed and couldn't stand up straight.
She thought that if she deliberately mentioned that Company Commander Wang's arm was injured, Shen Jiang would definitely give her the fish, since he had given her family many good things before.
Now they are treated with a completely different attitude, which Tsai Chin-Chin is clearly not used to.
Without thinking, he sarcastically remarked, "What's so great about you? You married a married woman and are raising a daughter who isn't even your own. The day you're no longer of any value, she'll devour you whole, leaving not even bones behind."
Cai Qinqin reluctantly led Wang Xiaohu away.
Shen Jiang's expression changed, and he called out to the mother and child, "Wait a moment."
Cai Qinqin thought Shen Jiang had come to his senses and was going to give them the fish, so she immediately turned around happily.
Shen Jiang spoke righteously and seriously, “My marriage with Wang Jing was approved by the higher-ups. Her daughter is my own daughter. As for what kind of life our family will lead in the future, that’s none of your business. What you should be worried about is that you’re already this age and haven’t given Wang Lianchang a son or daughter yet. You’re raising his ex-wife’s son. What right do you have to come here and mock me?”
Tsai Chin-chin was too frightened to look Shen Jiang in the eye.
