"My beautiful lady, please don't get angry with such an rude person! I'll help you wipe the ink off your pen. It's my pen that caused this trouble." Song Yan was dressed neatly with no patches on his clothes, and his eyes were particularly bright. He spoke with a serious expression.
The sales clerk burst out laughing.
Shen Hongxiang hadn't gone far, so she could hear her. She came back angrily, "Who are you calling rude? Try saying it again."
"From the moment I saw you, you started yelling and shouting at me. This is my new fountain pen, and you threw it on the counter, didn't you? You've dirtied the counter with ink! And now you're pointing your finger at me!"
"Old comrade, you're pointing one finger at someone else, but the other four are pointing at yourself." Song Yan's voice was clear yet calm, showing no sign of anger. Her words only served to highlight Shen Hongxiang's utter unreasonableness.
"You...you...you're so quick-witted!" Shen Hongxiang was furious; how dare he call her "old comrade."
People who wanted to buy things gathered around.
Salesperson: "I saw you smash someone's pen. You also dirtied the counter."
Song Yan: "Beautiful lady, please don't say that. Her husband is a deputy division commander, while my husband is a soldier. I can't afford to offend her."
No sooner had Song Yan finished speaking than some onlookers murmured, "Who would dare to do something like that? Go report her!"
Shen Hongxiang was furious; the truth was completely different. If her family wanted to use their official positions to pressure them, they wouldn't have let their daughter lose her job or their son end up in the police station.
"I will return everything on this to you without missing a single item, plus interest." Song Yan said, shaking the paper that Shen Hongxiang had just written on.
Shen Hongxiang realized she'd fallen into Song Yan's trap. Without thinking, she reached for the paper. "Give it to me!"
Song Yan nimbly dodged backward, "Everyone, be my witness, look, she's already made a move."
Shen Hongxiang paused. If she reached out to snatch it again, would Song Yan try to extort money from her? The key was that she definitely wouldn't succeed. The spot where she'd been kicked last time still ached faintly.
Shen Hongxiang turned and left in a fit of rage.
“I will send your writings back according to the list,” Song Yan shouted.
Shen Hongxiang forced herself not to turn around; cold sweat broke out on her back. What would happen if Old Fang found out she really returned the things?
If Song Yan knew what Shen Hongxiang was thinking, she would just chuckle at her.
Deputy Division Commander Fang seems to be a better person than you. Men aren't always capable of anything, and you're the first person I need to be wary of. I'm afraid you'll use underhanded tactics against Wei Aiguo.
Did Wei Aiguo want Song Yan to adopt Bai Shuang? He definitely wanted to. But he neither used morality to coerce Song Yan nor forced him, and even considered the difficulty of buying food.
Song Yan should protect a husband like this!
Those who could harm Wei Aiguo should be kept in check. They're not even close enough to control Shen Hongxiang's old house!
Secretary Fang has stepped in. Old Shen's daughter is still the same. Shouldn't we let him know?
Didn't they say they'd treat General Shen as their uncle? Secretary Fang made Wei Aiguo call him uncle. Being an elder isn't something you do for nothing.
The sales clerk thought Shen Hongxiang was very rude, saying, "Don't pay attention to someone like that. See which one you like now, I'll show it to you."
There's a military region nearby, and people there don't seem to care much if it's said to be the home of a military leader. Everyone in society is equal, and the military would never bully ordinary people, so what's there to be afraid of…
Song Yan had money and tickets, so he bought quite a lot of things. The sales clerk was astonished.
Passing by a state-run restaurant, Song Yan bought a few steamed buns, and she also went into a photo studio...
When Song Yan went to find Wei Aiguo, an old woman was sitting next to Wei Aiguo, and he was pouring water for Wei Aiguo from a teapot.
"...Thank you, Auntie!"
"What are you saying, young man? You're injured, I'm just getting you a cup of herbal tea, it's nothing. Don't thank me!"
The water you brought definitely doesn't taste as good as my herbal tea.
"On such a hot day, drinking your herbal tea is so refreshing."
"I'm glad you're comfortable. Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat. You can wait patiently for your wife."...
From the moment Wei Aiguo started waiting for the bus in his wheelchair, people offered to help him, whether he was getting on or off the bus.
This is the respect that ordinary people have for a soldier.
Soldiers are respected and cared for. Military dogs, who also shed blood and sweat, should also be treated well.
Song Yan wanted to adopt Bai Shuang but had reservations. Suddenly, she stopped worrying. She decided to approach Bai Shuang; if Bai Shuang allowed her to get close, then she could decide what to do next.
When Wei Aiguo saw Song Yan, he said, "You've bought everything you need."
The old lady immediately recognized her as someone's daughter-in-law. "This young woman is really beautiful," she said. The old lady praised Song Yan profusely before leaving.
Wei Aiguo: "Let's take the car back."
"Okay. I bought some steamed buns, let's eat these to tide us over!"
The train we're on now is the earliest one going back; the latest one is four hours later.
"Can we get off the bus halfway and go check on Bai Shuang?"
"Great!" Wei Aiguo agreed with the suggestion...
Wei Aiguo carried his identification and said he was looking for Xiang Zhoushan. A short while later, Xiang Zhoushan came out to meet them.
When Song Yan saw Bai Shuang again, he almost cried. Bai Shuang had become even thinner.
"Can I touch it?" Song Yan had only touched it once, when he was setting Bai Shuang's bones.
Xiang Zhoushan talked to Bai Shuang in a rambling manner, basically saying that Song Yan had treated it before and was now coming to see her again.
Bai Shuang glanced at the people around her, then lowered her head and showed no further reaction, letting Song Yan stroke her as he pleased.
