Shen Hongxiang then told her husband what Fang Jinghua had said.
Old Fang rubbed his temples in annoyance. "Wei Aiguo is highly regarded by Lao Zhao. I didn't pay much attention to him before, and the special forces brigade that Wei Aiguo is in is not under my jurisdiction."
Jinghua's antics have caught me off guard.
Wei Aiguo's family was ordinary, even quite poor. But he was an outstanding man. I learned that his wife was a sent-down youth.
"No wonder! She doesn't look shy or timid; she's a city girl!"
Old Fang told his wife about Wei Aiguo's situation, "A young woman who can support a family and is quite well-off, how can our Jinghua compare? She wouldn't even know if someone sold her off!"
"You, a dignified deputy division commander, are you afraid of a mere soldier under your command?" Shen Hongxiang said half-jokingly.
"So what if I'm the deputy division commander? Do you think I can just let a soldier live or die as he pleases? Don't bully me because I'm poor, do you understand?" Old Fang said irritably.
"I understand, don't be angry. You're worried that the girl might not know her place and give others a handle to use against her. Wei Aiguo, a new recruit, has already earned a second-class merit, and now he's injured and hospitalized. Not to mention he still has a military merit waiting for him, Jinghua's reputation for bullying wounded soldiers is too awful. And it doesn't make sense either."
You're a soldier from a rural background, you know how tough it is! You understand the hardships of a junior soldier even better. I understand!
Old Fang patted his wife's shoulder and said, "Wei Aiguo is good-looking and a war hero. Jinghua admires him and is always around him, but she hasn't fallen for him at all. His character is acceptable."
"How did you know?" Neither the wife nor the husband had told her about their daughter's embarrassing incident, and even her own mother didn't know.
Shen Hongxiang was quite pleased to hear Jinghua's constant complaints about Wei Aiguo today.
Old Fang looked at his wife with a troubled expression. "It's not like our daughter has been clueless for a while now. How could I not investigate carefully? Dong Qi knows about this too, and he's been criticizing Jinghua in every word!"
"This girl has embarrassed her uncle's family!" Shen Hongxiang sighed, rubbing her forehead.
Old Fang: "We don't know what the future holds. Countless old comrades have gotten themselves into trouble. Dad is disabled, so he can't get involved in anything. I'm afraid Jinghua will become too arrogant and drag our family into it."
Don't forget about your fourth brother. If someone wants to get rid of him but can't find any dirt on him, they can target his relatives!
Shen Hongxiang was worried! "Old people are like children. Mom didn't experience those things, so she doesn't care. And in the last two years, her temper has become more and more like a child's."
Dad felt that Mom had suffered so much with her, so he listened to Mom in almost everything!
I know I've put you in a difficult position.
"What are you saying? My mother treated me like her own son back then. She didn't mind that I was a poor boy, and she still married her precious daughter to me."
"Jinghua is a girl, that's all! As for those two boys, I'll definitely send them to the army." Old Fang made up his mind; his son couldn't let his mother-in-law spoil him like this anymore. "Besides, I'm not making a mountain out of a molehill regarding Wei Aiguo's matter. Old Zhao is extremely protective of his own. I don't want to have any conflicts with him at work."
I'll prepare some things tomorrow, and I'll ask Lao Zhao to take me to see Wei Aiguo.
This is also my stance.
