He Jianian listened intently. Song Yan was going home? Had something happened at home? He Jianian secretly felt smug.
Having obtained the proof, Song Yan carefully tucked it into his pocket. Turning around, he saw He Jianian's smug smile. Caught red-handed, he paused, then snorted, thinking, "Song Yan, you can't do anything to me now."
“Captain, I’ve received a lot of care from you since I came to the brigade, and I’m very grateful. I didn’t want to do anything to betray you, but even a rabbit will bite when cornered! I’m desperate now. I don’t care about anything anymore. Your grandson will be born without a father!” Before the captain could understand what Song Yan meant, Song Yan turned to look at He Jianian. “He Jianian, your eyes are dark, you couldn’t sleep last night, could you? You’ve done too many bad things, this is retribution.”
He Jianian has been waking up in the middle of the night frequently lately, and after hearing Song Yan's words, he actually started to believe it.
Song Yan said, word by word, "He Jianian, I'm going to accuse you of burglary today, and I'll personally send you to jail." After hearing Jiang Xiaoxiao's instructions, Cheng Yousuo ran to the brigade leader's house. Song Yan's intention was for him to play the good cop, while she would play the bad cop. This was practically doing her a favor for nothing!
…
Song Yan's words startled He Jianian so much that she jumped up, exclaiming, "Are you crazy?!"
"Whether I'm crazy or not, you'll find out soon enough." Song Yan grabbed He Jianian by the collar and dragged him outside the brigade leader's yard, so fast that the people inside didn't have time to react.
"Song Yan, if you don't want to live your life properly, that's your business. Don't drag me down with you. Let go of me." He Jianian was completely defeated and only managed to break free from Song Yan when they reached the outside of the yard.
Wu Meili reacted faster than her father. "Song Yan, how dare you cause trouble in my house! You've really gone too far!" Wu Meili shouted as she started scratching.
Song Yan quickly shoved He Jianian forward, and Wu Meili immediately scratched his face. Four bloody marks immediately appeared on He Jianian's face.
"No, I didn't mean to scratch my husband!" Wu Meili had no intention of scratching her husband!
"Stop! What's going on?" Song Yan was capable, and Wei Aiguo was someone not to be trifled with. The captain certainly didn't want to break ties with her unless absolutely necessary. Besides, he felt that Song Yan was smart enough not to come knocking on his door for no reason.
"Dad, are you still my dad? Song Yan came to our door today, aren't we going to hold him accountable? What kind of captain is as spineless as you!" Wu Meili is a master at stabbing people in the back and causing trouble.
"You, you..." The captain was furious.
"Song Yan, you little bitch. I'm not done with you today." Saying that, he rammed into Song Yan.
Wu Meili was pregnant, so Song Yan was still somewhat cautious. Otherwise, he would have let her miss her target and nearly killed her.
Just as Wu Meili was about to bump into him, Song Yan quickly pulled He Jianian away…
The commotion had been going on for quite some time. A large crowd of villagers had gathered to watch the spectacle, and now they were finding it hard to bear the sight. Wu Meili had knocked He Jianian flat on his back.
"Wu Meili, let me tell you, you damaged my reputation and affected our marital relationship. It's not too late to sue you for disrupting a military marriage. I'm only letting you off the hook because of your father. If you don't know what's good for you, we'll see each other at the police station." He Jianian's only advantage is marrying Wu Meili, right? Today, he'll show him. Even if he were Wu Meili's son, it wouldn't make a difference.
The beautiful woman, who was about to throw a tantrum, suddenly stopped.
Even Song Yan himself didn't know if Wu Meili's actions constituted disrupting a military marriage. But Wu Meili was guilty, so bluffing worked.
"What exactly happened? He Jianian, what have you done now? Song Yan, you are a military family member, you should have some self-awareness. Where is your manners?" Captain Wu felt that ever since Meili and Song Yan clashed, he had lost his dignity and prestige.
Wu Meili stood there sobbing, He Jianian was still on the ground, and Song Yan stood in the middle with a hateful look on his face.
Captain Wu was furious.
This is the scene that Cheng Yousuo saw when he arrived.
Before he could speak, Song Yan spoke first.
"Captain Cheng, I'm accusing He Jianian of theft, and I want to take him to the police station. You're the militia captain, isn't this under your jurisdiction?"
“This matter is under my jurisdiction. But isn’t it all in the past? Didn’t you let it go back then because of the brigade leader’s face?” Cheng Yousuo was also confused. He knew Song Yan was looking for trouble, but he didn’t know why.
"I wanted to let him go, but he's ungrateful and stabbed me in the back. Xiaoxiao, show the letter to the brigade leader." People are biased; expecting the brigade leader to make an impartial judgment is impossible. He Jianian, you've made me unhappy, so I'll make things difficult for you.
"Song Yan, you've already taken the money, and now you're going to back out?" Wu Meili was frightened, and Song Yan was clearly angry. He Jianian had been home with her the whole time, doing absolutely nothing!
"Song Yan, you can't sue me after you've taken the money!" He Jianian was terrified; he hadn't expected Song Yan to be able to back out at any time. He wrote a letter to his mother, instructing her to make Song Yan's grandmother swear not to tell anyone about him before telling her—what a mess his own mother had made!
"Look, this is the bribe money that bribed me. I'll hand it over in a bit." Song Yan waved the money in his hand.
Captain Wu read both letters and concluded that He Jianian was both stupid and wicked.
From the few words in the letter, you can tell that Grandma Song Yan is no pushover. How could she entrust someone like that with keeping a secret for you? She's truly wicked, and her wickedness is spot on.
But he didn't expect that Song Yan was someone he couldn't afford to offend!
The brigade leader and Li Yuanzhao had visited the supply and marketing cooperative once. Director Liu of the cooperative was not only warm and welcoming to Song Yan, but also spoke to him casually, as if he were talking to family. He even invited Song Yan to his home to find his wife.
The brigade leader went there to cultivate a good relationship with the director. Otherwise, if other villages follow suit and start weaving next year, why would Director Liu choose your Qingshan brigade?
After the trip, the captain was relieved.
This is Song Yan's ability.
Fortunately, he never intended for the girl to have a long-term relationship with him. Once the child was legitimately born, they could live their own lives. He Jianian was too weak to lift a finger and couldn't earn a living. He would let Meili know that love, in this case, couldn't put food on the table. Whether they could make a living together was their problem.
If Captain Wu were to choose, would he protect He Jianian or defend Song Yan? He wouldn't even need to consider it. He Jianian's only use was to give the beautiful child a legitimate father. His purpose was fulfilled. He was dispensable from now on.
Wu Meili and He Jianian both called him "Dad." Given Captain Wu's authority, it wasn't impossible for him to keep Song Yan from leaving the brigade. Other captains had done it before. But was it worth it for someone like He Jianian? Definitely not!
Besides, Captain Wu really looked down on He Jianian. He was definitely the kind of person who could share wealth but not hardship.
The captain's thoughts raced through his mind in an instant.
Everyone is now looking at Captain Wu, waiting for him to explain what He Jianian has done this time. But how can Captain Wu explain this? The captain then looked at Song Yan, as if to say, "Your own family matters are your own business."
