Chapter 87 Commander Yang's Childhood Sweetheart
Gao Aijin panicked as soon as she heard this, "Boss, at most I just took a few sweet potatoes from her, I didn't mean to kill her!"
Song Shifeng glared at her angrily, "The person was killed during your looting, and you still have the nerve to say you didn't!"
"It's no use talking to me. Go tell the police station instead!"
Song Shifeng also gave Gao Aijin a cold look. If it weren't for this responsibility, he would have wanted to hit her too!
"Boss, so many people saw it. She was the one who made things difficult for us first. We were hungry, so of course we needed food!" a man complained reluctantly.
Song Shifeng felt even more disgusted and walked away with disdain. "You don't need to explain to me. Robbing is stealing, and killing someone means going to jail!"
Du Ruoxia glanced at Song Shifeng after hearing his words, and her resentment towards him lessened considerably. She was determined not to let these people off the hook!
"Sister, did my mother die in vain?" Tie Zhu looked up at Du Ruoxia with teary eyes.
Du Ruoxia sniffed and shook her head. She stroked Tiezhu's head to comfort him, "Tiezhu, your sister will definitely get justice for your mother!"
Tiezhu stayed by his mother's side, weeping. The villagers tried to comfort him, but the people who had harmed him, though showing remorse, did not seem to repent.
Du Ruoxia learned once again that good people are often bullied, while evil people are not necessarily punished by heaven.
She saved these people through the prophet, but also harmed others; indeed, there is a cycle of cause and effect.
“Sister, it’s not your fault, it’s theirs! Mother said you’re a good person, you did it so that the food could last longer,” Tiezhu replied, sobbing.
Du Ruoxia pursed her lips. Although Xu E was very outspoken, she could see through such subtle things, while those who claimed to be kind and innocent were completely unaware.
"Tiezhu, you have to be strong. Your brother needs you. If you need anything, tell your sister!" Du Ruoxia stroked Tiezhu's head to comfort him, and Tiezhu sat next to his mother and nodded emphatically.
Tie Zhu lost his mother and will be in a difficult situation for a long time. The only thing she can do to help him is to provide financial assistance.
Grandpa Gao Songbai walked over, looking at Du Ruoxia as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Du Ruoxia breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. "Grandpa, Gao Songbai is alright, and his leg has been saved."
Grandpa Gao Songbai wept with joy, "Comrade Du, thank you. I'm so sorry. You clearly instructed us to protect the grain properly, but they..."
Grandpa Gao Songbai couldn't continue, and covered his face to weep. Du Ruoxia shook her head, "It's hard to guard against a thief even after a thousand days. Some things are destined."
"But I feel so guilty, Tiezhu's mother is innocent!" Grandpa Gao Songbai pounded his chest and stamped his feet.
Du Ruoxia sighed, "This is probably the unfairness of fate; it's just that I didn't plan things well."
Du Ruoxia always thought that as long as a person has hands and feet, and is physically strong, they should not go hungry.
The floodwaters haven't receded, and with no food left, what will happen to the children and the elderly?
She forgot that human nature is immeasurable, and there is no bottom line to human nature!
"It's tough on Tiezhu's two children, they're still so young. What does his father do?" Du Ruoxia asked, concerned about Tiezhu's father's job.
Grandpa Gao Songbai sighed, "His father was a cook, cooking for people at a newly opened restaurant."
Tie Zhu's father was a chef, which was a skill he possessed.
"However, the wages aren't much higher than farming, and you can't take your children and wife with you," Grandpa Gao Songbai added.
Du Ruoxia had a better idea of what to do; perhaps she could help Tie Zhu's family.
"Wang Hu, keep an eye on this later." Du Ruoxia looked at Wang Hu.
Wang Hu nodded, "Okay!"
After Wang Hu finished speaking, he glared fiercely at Gao Aijin, who was so frightened by his gaze that she didn't dare to look in his direction.
"Comrade Du, are we just going to let them go like this?" Wang Hu said through gritted teeth.
Du Ruoxia shook her head, squinting at Gao Aijin's direction, "Minister Song did nothing wrong, but it only vented his anger, how can it quell my hatred!"
After hearing this, Wang Hu's gloomy mood finally eased a bit, and he looked at Du Ruoxia expectantly, waiting for her to continue.
“Some people, you save them now, they think they’re safe and sound, but it won’t be the same next time!” Du Ruoxia said slowly, then glanced at the sky.
"What do you mean?" Wang Hu was completely confused and couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't mean anything. If I don't want to save someone next time, I won't. Some people's nature will never change," Du Ruoxia said calmly.
Wang Hu scratched his head, looking puzzled, while Du Ruoxia had already moved on to the next injured person.
With the addition of two doctors, even though there were quite a few people with superficial injuries, they did not panic.
Just as it was getting dark, the child started crying because he was hungry, and Du Ruoxia remembered that the food was on the plane.
It was already getting dark when the second group arrived. Everyone was excited when they saw the steamed buns brought down from the plane.
"It's food! It's food!" someone shouted excitedly.
"I want to eat! I want to eat!" Some people had already rushed forward to block the way.
They had forgotten about Xu E lying on the ground, and ignored the injured person. They grabbed the steamed buns and started eating them on their own.
Song Shifeng instructed his assistant to distribute steamed buns, and he also took some steamed buns and distributed them to the injured.
After he finished distributing the bag in his hand, he walked over to Du Ruoxia, looking apologetic and about to speak.
Du Ruoxia ignored him and walked directly to the other side with Wang Hu.
Song Shifeng sighed and chased after them. "I stopped you for the sake of the bigger picture. If everyone resorts to violence to solve problems, there will be no rules in our country."
"Besides, if you do that and are investigated, you will also be implicated."
Du Ruoxia smiled indifferently. As long as it didn't affect Yang Zeyan, she let them do whatever they wanted!
Looking at Song Shifeng with a clear conscience, Wang Hu said, "They deserved it. Comrade Du did the right thing!"
Song Shifeng asked, "Comrade Du, you said you are a military dependent, which soldier's dependent are you?"
Wang Hu spoke first: "Comrade Du is the wife of our regiment commander Yang."
Song Shifeng frowned, went over Wang Hu's words in his mind, and understood the meaning behind them. His first impression was that it was absurd.
"Stop talking nonsense. Does your Yang family member know anything about women besides sleeping in military camps? Only that stupid girl from the Peng family is waiting around." Song Shifeng said irritably.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our Yang Regiment is wholeheartedly devoted to the country, we just haven't met the right person yet." Wang Hu looked at Song Shifeng with displeasure, then nervously looked at Du Ruoxia.
Du Ruoxia watched the two exchange words calmly, without making a sound.
Seeing that she remained silent, Wang Hu immediately gave her a guilty smile, and Du Ruoxia also smiled and spoke up.
"What girl from the Peng family? Is she prettier than me?"
Wang Hu immediately looked anxiously at Du Ruoxia and explained, "Comrade Du, don't listen to his nonsense. The Peng family girl has nothing to do with our Yang Regiment. They're just spreading rumors; it's not true!"
Du Ruoxia looked at him with a half-smile, "So there is such a person, and he's very good-looking? Yang Zeyan's childhood sweetheart?"
Wang Hu glared at Song Shifeng, then assured Du Ruoxia, "I swear on my life that Commander Yang has absolutely no feelings for that woman whatsoever!"
Du Ruoxia stopped looking at him and turned to look at Song Shifeng.
Seeing Wang Hu's tense attitude, even the slow-witted Song Shifeng understood that it was true; the person in front of him was actually Yang Zeyan's wife.
He asked uncertainly, "Are you really married?"
