Chapter 94: Give Zheng Guoqiang an eye drop
Xie Yun saw Director Yan out and said to her, "When I came back last night, I suddenly thought of a question that I don't quite understand. Could you tell me about it?"
"Tell me, what's the problem?"
"Do soldiers need to file a marriage report when they get married? According to the original plan, Zheng Laosan came back to get married this time, so has he already filed the marriage application? Now that he can't get married, how will he explain this to his military superiors and comrades when he returns?
He wouldn't say that Wu Mei suddenly regretted her engagement and didn't want to get married anymore, right? Would Wu Mei be accused of "destroying a military marriage"? Would that have any impact on her?
She had originally planned to meet Director Yan tonight to discuss this matter with her. It would be great if she could persuade her to write a letter to Zheng Guoqiang's troops in the name of the brigade to explain the situation.
Now that we've met, let's just talk it out.
Yan Guixiang was taken aback by her question. She had never really thought about this question. "Military men and women must file a marriage report when they get married, and the political department will issue a certificate. He and Wu Mei haven't officially married yet, so it certainly can't be said that they're 'destroying a military marriage.'"
When he returns, his comrades will undoubtedly ask him about it. He won't lie and say he's married; he'll definitely say he didn't. As for the reason for not getting married, whether it's a matter of fact or an attempt to shift the blame and put the blame on the five beauties, that depends on his personal conduct and integrity.
Xie Yun smiled and said, "What about his character? After such a big incident yesterday, did he go to the brigade headquarters to talk to the leaders?
Before he returned, his mother had called Wu Mei over to work as a servant. He was unaware of this, so it was understandable. But what happened yesterday morning happened right in front of him; he knew about it and acquiesced. He was largely responsible, and couldn't blame it all on his mother and sister.
Moreover, when Wumei was robbed in the county town, she was shocked and scared. Comrade Zheng Guoqiang didn't even say a word of comfort. As a soldier, he didn't even care whether the robbers who endangered the safety of the people were caught. He just counted his belongings and took Zheng Lanping to a restaurant when he found nothing was missing.
The dogs shook their heads when they saw his performance.
After all, everything happened because of him. Did he say anything?
Did he stand up and say something to demonstrate the responsibility and duty of a soldier? Did he apologize to the five beauties?
Yan Guixiang shook her head. "No. According to reliable intelligence, he only came out to fetch water twice today. He kept his head down the entire time and didn't initiate conversation with anyone. The rest of the time he was working at home, a never-ending job.
I went to Wu Mei's house after lunch and she was fine. She didn't seem unhappy and seemed normal. I asked her about it, but Zheng Guoqiang didn't go to her, didn't try to make amends, and didn't apologize.
Xie Yun was surprised and asked, "Do you have another source of information?"
Yan Guixiang smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Xie Yun applauded, "Amazing! No wonder you all know everything! How big is your intelligence department? What are the requirements for joining? Do you think I can do it?"
Yan Guixiang laughed heartily. "You have no chance. Forget it."
There's no intelligence department here. They just ask the women to help keep an eye on things when there's something going on. They don't keep an eye on others when there's nothing going on! And the ones doing this are all married women. Binbin, an unmarried girl, is out of the question.
Today, someone even went to visit the Zheng family and observed the situation. There were four patients whose real or fake status was unknown, all in bed resting, two pregnant women who needed to be attended to, and five children who needed to be taken care of. It would be great if Zheng Lanping didn't cause more trouble, as she couldn't help at all. The family of 12 all depended on Zheng Laosan for their survival.
I don’t know if they were pretending to be sick too thoroughly or if they were really seriously injured, but these people really didn’t get out of bed, and they ate, drank, defecated and urinated in the room. Zheng Laosan started living a life of taking care of feces and urine early on.
The female comrade who went to gather intelligence had a very interesting expression when she came out. But she said Zheng Laosan's expression was even more interesting, like a living dead.
Xie Yun said: "That's such a pity."
Then, she curled her lips and said, "It seems that Zheng Laosan's character is not very good.
I think, for his own sake, he could easily have told his comrades back home that Wu Mei had broken her promise and changed her mind at the last minute, or even claimed she was marrying someone more privileged and looked down on him as a soldier. Then what kind of image would our young women from Liushu Village have in the eyes of the People's Liberation Army?
He might even tell others that the members of our Liushutun Brigade ganged up on him, helped his fiancée break off the engagement, and turned a blind eye to the harm suffered by his family.
If he said that, what kind of image would our Liushutun Battalion have among the military leaders? Would it have any impact on our battalion?"
The more she listened, the more solemn Yan Guixiang felt.
Originally, when Xie Yun first mentioned this, she hadn't taken it too seriously. The army was so far away, and even if Zheng Guoqiang said it was the five beauties who caused the marriage to fail, it wouldn't have had much of an impact on them, and there was no need to pay special attention to it.
However, if this incident eventually affects the image of the entire Liushutun Brigade in the army, then things will be very bad.
This involves the issue of recruiting soldiers and may also affect Liushutun's image with higher-level leaders.
After all, in essence, the military and the government are inseparable. Martial law is everywhere now!
She said to Xie Yun, "Your worries are justified. I'll go back and think about what to do. Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to our Liushu Village."
Xie Yun smiled and said, "With you and the captain here, I have nothing to worry about. I'm just curious, so I'm asking."
☆
Yan Guixiang left with her straw raincoat and hat.
She quickly went over the whole situation in her mind, thought about all the potential negative impacts this incident might have on Liushu Village, and made a decision: to strike first.
She will write a letter to the army as soon as possible, explaining in detail the cause and effect of the incident and how to deal with it, and ask the army to strengthen the personal quality education of soldiers, so as to "be the first to complain."
Being a military wife isn't easy, and you're so utterly inconsiderate and allow your family to abuse and mistreat your wife. Who would dare marry a soldier in the future? If this gets out, all soldiers will be single forever! Your actions are affecting not only you, but also the image of all soldiers in the hearts of the people!
The matter of Zheng Guoqiang could be a big deal or a small one. She had thought of it in a small way before, but now, thanks to Xie Yun, she started to think of it in a big way, and her thoughts were even broader than Xie Yun's.
Zheng Guoqiang is a soldier of the people, but the members of Liushutun are also the people! The army and the people are like fish and water. Is there any need to say who is more important?
They, the common people, must "think highly of themselves" and value themselves! What's wrong with the common people? The common people are the foundation! They are the pillars!
What’s more, now is the era of people’s dictatorship!
If things really get out of hand, anyone can take control of the government!
It all depends on who is the bravest, who is most willing to take risks, and who has the least concerns!
