"But I didn't expect this man to be such a person in private. The daughter-in-law went back and told her brothers on her mother's side about this. When they heard that the little girl they had always doted on had suffered such an injustice, they came straight to the officer's house, beat him up, and then forced him to file for divorce."
"But this girl is a good person. She gave birth to the child and has not remarried. Her family is also quite open-minded and has not suggested looking for another family for her. She is now the director of a well-known factory in Beijing and has raised the child well. She also forced the officer to write a letter of severance of ties. Regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, he has nothing to do with it."
"The daughter-in-law was also a determined person at the time. She deliberately spread the word that the doctor said the child might be a girl. The officer knew he was in the wrong because the child was his immediate superior and it was just a daughter. So he signed the agreement, saying he didn't recognize the child and wouldn't have to care about him in the future. Both parties signed it. In the end, it turned out to be a boy. The family had the nerve to come to the door, but they were kicked out."
"Because the two families live relatively close to each other, this child has known his background since he was young. However, he was raised very well by his mother's family. He knows the story of his mother and father, but he has never been in contact with his father's family. He doesn't want to acknowledge this father either."
"Later, the officer's mother realized that her ex-daughter-in-law and grandson really wouldn't come back, so she thought about finding another one for her son. However, these two men were not as honest as they appeared to be. Coming from ordinary families, they simply didn't like them, so she thought about finding someone from a military compound."
"But everyone in the compound knew who they were. It's impossible for anyone living here to come from a bad family. Of course, they wouldn't send their daughter to live with this family. So, he's been single ever since and hasn't found a good one. He drinks every day. Later on, he even beat his mother up and sent her to the hospital several times."
"We also sent people to communicate with the mother, but she said the injuries were all her own and had nothing to do with her son. We couldn't do anything about it. Later, because no one was watching, this man dared to drink directly in the army and harass his own soldiers. We couldn't say anything because he only harassed them and didn't beat or scold them."
"The officers under him were very dissatisfied with him and even brought the matter to our attention. However, we couldn't deal with him because of the officer's father. We were very troubled by this matter at that time. The officer was angry about what he said and pushed him. His head hit the steps directly. There were quite a lot of people around and they all saw it."
"Immediately send the child to the hospital. The head wound wasn't serious, but it was still quite scary with the blood all over it. He needed two stitches. An officer assaulted a child. But I'm still in the army, and Xiao Zhen's father has some influence. Because of this, the man was successfully expelled from the army."
"I asked Xiao Zhen privately if he was really knocked down by this guy. Xiao Zhen didn't answer me, but I know he must have somehow learned that we were upset about this guy, which is why he did this. Xiao Zhen has been training with us since he was a child. How could he not be able to avoid a drunkard?"
At this point, Mr. He's eyes were a little red. "This kid has been sensible since he was young. When his parents passed away, he persuaded me, saying that he would be there in the future. He was just a little kid at the time, but he said he would protect me. I didn't expect that he would actually do it later. Whether it was joining the army or later retiring from the army to go to the countryside because our family's reputation was too big, he always did his best."
Han Wanying nodded and said to Mr. He in a comforting tone, "Things will get better and better in the future. Our country will develop better and better, and we won't need more soldiers to sacrifice in the future."
Mr. He said, "The future of the world belongs to you young people. It's time for us old people to retire."
Then he smiled and said to Han Wanying, "My biggest hope now is that you and Xiao Zhen can be fine, and everyone can be fine. I am old too, and in a few years I won't be able to move. In the past, I always thought about defending my country and my family. Now that I am old, I just hope that the people around me can be fine."
Han Wanying only understood what Grandpa He meant. In the past, they put the country first, but now they just want to think about their own family.
Han Wanying and Mr. He enjoyed the meal very much. After a brief chat, they prepared to leave.
After walking out of Uncle Chen's door, Mr. He turned to Han Wanying and asked, "Wanying girl, where are you going now? Are you going back to the guesthouse or somewhere else? I'll ask the driver to take you back with me."
Seeing that it was getting late, Han Wanying replied, "If it's convenient, could you take me to the Imperial Capital Hospital here?"
Mr. He nodded and asked with a hint of worry in his tone: "It must be convenient. It's so late, and you're still going to the hospital. Are you feeling unwell?"
Han Wanying shook her head and explained, "No, a friend I met recently was hospitalized, and I have to go and see him. Otherwise, I'm not very reassured."
When Mr. He heard that Han Wanying was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
