Gu Yanli understood with a look of understanding, "With so many people, it's inevitable that there will be a few termites."
But he added, "Thinking about the humiliating treatment their families received, we outsiders can't help but feel chilled."
Gu Yanli's eyes were red as he spoke. "I was thinking about how I was out there fighting for my country, while my wife was being beaten and kicked on the ground, and my sixty-year-old mother was kneeling on the ground begging them for mercy..."
Gu Yanli felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't continue speaking.
Wei Hongtao sympathized with him and said, "Don't be sad. How can we let our soldiers bleed and cry?"
"Don't worry, if you trust me about this matter, I will definitely seek justice for you!"
Gu Yanli looked up and said, "I naturally trust the old company commander."
"Just believe it. If you believe it, leave it to me."
As they were talking, Wang Zhihua came over with a stove and some processed rabbit meat.
Wei Hongtao patted his hands and said, "Leave this matter to me. I will give you an explanation later."
"Let's not talk about anything else now, let's eat."
"Try this rabbit you brought."
"It's snowing heavily, and thanks to you, I also have this blessing."
Gu Yanli only said, "Sister-in-law's cooking skills are still the best."
Wei Hongtao also agreed with this, "That's right, that's right, your sister-in-law's cooking skills are impeccable."
Wang Zhihua felt embarrassed and said to Wei Hongtao with a smile, "Stop bragging like a self-promoting melon seller."
After she finished speaking, she put away the dishes and chopsticks, brought two more dishes, some washed vegetables, and some wine, and said, "You guys eat, and tell me if there's not enough food."
Gu Yanli asked, "Sister-in-law, don't you want to eat with us?"
Wang Zhihua waved her hand and said, "There's more in the kitchen. My child and I will eat in the kitchen. It's warmer there."
"Eat, both of you!"
Wei Hongtao also said, "We two will drink and eat slowly."
Gu Yanli didn't say anything else.
He sat down with Wei Hongtao, and after two glasses of wine, Wei Hongtao began to persuade him, "Brother, if you really want to treat me as your brother, then listen to my advice."
Gu Yanli clinked the wine glass in his hand with his to show that he would listen.
Wei Hongtao took a sip and continued, "You are now a battalion commander. If you continue to stay, I don't say how high your rank will be, at least you can become a regular regiment commander in the end." Wei Hongtao couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "A regular regiment commander, but you can't be promoted later. You turned back, and you turned back now, that's not the same thing!"
"When you come back, I'm afraid all of us will call you leader."
Gu Yanli immediately touched the wine glass with both hands and said, "You are joking!"
Wei Hongtao took another sip and said with a smile, "It's true."
"It's really not worth it for you to turn back now."
Gu Yanli raised his glass again and clinked it with Wei Hongtao's. His voice was choked with sobs and his eyes were red. "If my family hadn't been bullied, I..."
He choked and couldn't speak any more.
Wei Hongtao quickly raised his hand and patted his shoulder to comfort him, while scolding those people, "These idiots are really lawless."
"How dare you bully my sister-in-law? Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for her."
"As long as you trust me."
"Do you believe me?" Wei Hongtao asked with a red face.
He hadn't even had a few drinks when his face turned pale.
Gu Yanli wiped his eyes and raised his glass to clink with him again. "Believe it, even if others don't, I still believe you, Captain."
After that, the two of them clinked glasses several times in a row.
When Gu Yanli walked, he could hardly walk steadily.
Wei Hongtao was not in much better condition either. He collapsed on the sofa at home and couldn't get up.
Wang Zhihua urged Gu Yanli to rest for a night before leaving, but Gu Yanli refused to agree and told Wang Zhihua dazedly, "Go back and pack up, pack up, I have to go back to the army in the next two days."
Fortunately, the snow has subsided.
Gu Yanli got on his bike and left without asking Wang Zhihua to see him off, asking her to go back and take care of Wei Hongtao.
Gu Yanli left in the snow. Wang Zhihua returned to the house and helped the collapsed Wei Hongtao back inside, complaining, "Why didn't you drink a little? Why did you have to drink yourself into this state? What did you want?"
Wei Hongtao just smiled and said, "You have to drink, you have to drink..."
Although Wei Hongtao was lying there, he stood up after being helped by Wang Zhihua, and went into the house with Wang Zhihua smiling.
Wang Zhihua helped the man onto the bed, ran some hot water, and wiped his hands and face before asking, "What's he doing here?"
Wei Hongtao lay there dazed, "How do you know I'm here for something?"
Wang Zhihua laughed, "Do you really think I'm stupid?"
"I've been with you for so many years."
"If I were to come see you normally, I'd buy some canned food or wine."
"He even specially prepared wild goods to come here, so he must be in trouble."
Wei Hongtao nodded and huddled under the covers. "Yes, something happened. Did his wife get bullied by those investigating speculation and profiteering at home?"
"You decide this? How do you decide this?"
"No, it was just a misunderstanding. Those people wanted to make some money."
"Besides, Yan Li is now the battalion commander!"
"Hoo~" As the words fell, a deafening snoring sound was heard.
Wang Zhihua stamped her feet in anger, "It's really a case of drinking from a bottle."
They really drank from bottle to bottle. The two of them drank more than two bottles of white wine.
Fortunately, Gu Yanli was not that drunk.
I drank quite a bit and rode my bike home in the snow. The road was quite difficult to walk on. Although I said I rode, when we were in a large group, we all pushed the bikes home, which was very painful.
When Gu Yanli got home, it was already dark.
The shoes on his feet were completely wet.
When I went to Wei Hongtao's house in the morning, my clothes were half wet, and now they are completely wet on the way back.
