"Why is he pitiful?" Qin Wan was very curious. How could this man be pitiful when he became a team leader at such a young age?
Wang Liming looked around, then leaned over to Qin Wan's ear and said mysteriously:
"Our captain, I heard, has a tough life. His mother died when he was born, so he grew up with his grandmother. When he was ten, his father died too. From then on, he depended on his grandmother for everything."
Qin Wan frowned and asked doubtfully:
"It's nothing, there are many people who live with their grandparents, and no one says they are pitiful."
She believes that even though both her parents are dead, she still has her grandmother's love, and this kind of life can be considered happy. If even this is considered pitiful, then how should we define those children who have no parents and are exploited by their grandparents?
Wang Liming lowered her voice and continued:
"Our team leader is called Shi Yongfeng. I heard that his father died in a fight. His grandmother always believed that he was the one who brought bad luck to his parents. So she treated him very badly since he was a child, often beating and scolding him."
Qin Wan opened her mouth in surprise and looked at Wang Liming in disbelief. She had never expected that this unshaven, expressionless man was the biggest villain in the original book, and she had never expected that this seemingly strong and confident man had such a tragic childhood.
Wang Liming sighed and continued:
"Furthermore, his grandmother always told him in front of him that he was a hindrance to his parents and that he had killed his own son and daughter-in-law. This caused him to bear a heavy psychological pressure since he was a child. It wasn't until he joined the army and sent a lot of allowances home that his grandmother treated him better. But after he returned from military service, his grandmother started nagging him again, saying that he was an unlucky star and would sooner or later kill him."
Qin Wan couldn't help but sigh:
"I never thought that the captain was hiding so much unknown pain." No wonder he looked so serious.
Wang Liming nodded vigorously and said, "So, even though he looks so majestic now, he's actually quite pitiful."
Qin Wan agreed: "You're right, it's a bit pitiful."
Wang Liming continued, "Don't rush to sigh. I haven't finished yet. In fact, he has even more pitiful people."
"Okay, tell me quickly." Qin Wan urged.
"The captain's grandmother had been ill for many years and was in poor health. One day, the captain heard people say that he was harming his grandmother and that if he could stay away from her, maybe her health would get better. So he secretly decided to stay away from her.
At that time, the army was recruiting soldiers, so he signed up. After the experience, his various indicators were exceptionally good. So he became a soldier.
"What happens after joining the army?" Qin Wan felt that it was time for another turning point.
"After joining the army, his rank kept rising, and his grandmother's health also improved. At the age of 24, he was promoted to company commander. At that time, everyone said he made the right choice to join the army. But that same year, he broke his leg while trying to save a comrade, so he was discharged from the army."
Qin Wan thought to himself: This is not just a little pitiful, it's bad luck. As for saying that the captain is unlucky and is hindering others, that is pure nonsense.
The reason why his grandmother's health improved after he joined the army was that the allowance he sent home made it easier for her to receive medical treatment.
Wang Liming added:
"After he returned from military service, his grandmother arranged for him to be betrothed. She ended up betrothing three girls in a row, but all three girls met with accidents. As a result, everyone said the captain had a hard fate and was unlucky in marriage. Families that loved girls were afraid to promise them to him."
After Wang Liming finished speaking, Qin Wan asked her, "Is he married now?"
"No!" Wang Liming shook her head. "His grandmother is worried all day long that he won't be able to find a wife. She's asked someone to find him a suitable one, but no one dares to agree. They're afraid that if they introduce a girl to her, something might happen to her and they won't be able to explain it."
After hearing what Wang Liming said, Qin Wan couldn't help but feel sympathy for the captain.
At this time, Wang Liming said again:
"Even now, the captain is already 27 or 28 years old and still lives alone. I heard his grandmother is so worried that she's sick."
After hearing what Wang Liming said, Qin Wan wanted to say, this brigade is so unlucky, isn't it what people call a curse? But when he thought about how everyone now opposes such statements, considering them feudal superstitions, he didn't dare to say it.
Since I don't want to talk about this topic anymore, I'll just change it. So,
"By the way, Liming, do you know what happened to the captain's three wives?" It's not that Qin Wan has a strong desire for knowledge, but she feels that there must be something fishy here.
She felt that it might be normal for one or two of a man's wives to have accidents, but if three of them happened in a row, that was definitely not normal.
"Well, I really didn't notice this. I'll ask the old educated youth when he comes back later. Why did I forget to ask him then?" Wang Liming said with some regret.
Even though she arrived half a day earlier than Qin Wan, her gossipy nature has been exposed.
As they were talking, everyone had already placed their food in the corresponding places.
"How are we going to eat? With the old educated youth?" Qin Wan asked curiously.
"Of course, with the old educated youth." Liu Dong put the food away and answered Qin Wan's question as a matter of course.
Zhang Erxiu also echoed, "We're new here and have nothing, so of course we want to be with the older educated youth."
Zhou Hongmei also said: "In fact, being with the old educated youth has many conveniences. We don't have to worry about anything in the future. It's enough for those old educated youth to worry about it."
