Chapter 133 The Most Beautiful Military Wife

The autumn wind was howling. Zhang Yuandong left a little late today. It was already a little cold in the evening. He hurried home and met the fourth regiment's battalion commander Liu and his wife on the way. Captain Liu was holding a half-grown child in his arms. The couple complained to each other as they walked towards the family building.

Zhang Yuandong didn't want to get involved in what was going on between the couple, but when he suddenly heard Lin Yue's name mentioned in their conversation, he slowed down his pace and followed behind them. He only heard Captain Liu scolding, "A little girl needs to be hospitalized just because she has diarrhea. She's really rich."

His wife muttered, "You think I am thinking, isn't it that Lin Yue who is meddling in other people's business and insisting on taking her to the hospital. I told you that she doesn't need to be hospitalized, why is there so much trouble! Hey, why is this child still not awake, is she pretending?"

As she said that, she stretched out her hand and pinched the child. Seeing that she really didn't react, she cursed in a low voice and said, "Nothing will really happen, right? No, I must go to that Lin Yue's house tonight and ask her to pay the money again!"

Captain Liu stopped suddenly, freed one hand, and poked his lover's head a few times, cursing: "Is there something wrong with your brain? I am just a small battalion commander, and I may have to retire next year. How can you have the courage to cause trouble for Captain Zhang's family? Don't you know..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Zhang Yuandong following behind the two of them, and his face froze instantly.

Zhang Yuandong nodded to the two and said, "My wife has a very good temper and is a very kind person. Please be understanding if she does anything wrong. If you have any problems, please come to me and I will solve them for you."

Captain Liu could tell that Captain Zhang was speaking in a sarcastic tone. He suddenly remembered the miserable appearance of Captain Liu of the Sixth Regiment. It was said that he had trained with Captain Zhang for a week and was abused like a dog, but he did not have any serious injuries. He went to the hospital for a check-up, but they just said it was muscle strain and he could not even get a leave. Now he even took a detour when he saw Captain Zhang's family. It was not because he was afraid of Captain Zhang's wife, but it was really more terrible to offend her than to offend Captain Zhang.

Captain Liu shuddered and said quickly, "It's nothing. My son just likes to talk nonsense. Don't take it to heart!"

Zhang Yuandong glanced at the child in his arms and knew something must be wrong, but he didn't say anything and just walked away. After walking a long way, he could still hear the couple arguing behind him.

When he got home, Lin Yue had already prepared dinner and was sitting at the desk with a few children, writing something. Seeing him coming back, Lin Yue went to meet him and asked, "You came back a little late today. Was there anything that delayed you?"

Zhang Yuandong nodded and told her what happened on the way. Lin Yue looked back at the children and secretly told Zhang Yuandong what happened at noon. Lingling and Wanli were already grown up and had their own self-esteem, so she couldn't say bad things about them in front of them.

She told Zhang Yuandong about the situation and said incredulously, "I saw that her daughter was in a bad condition. How come she was taken out of the hospital so soon? I have already paid the money, and they don't have to spend any money. Why don't they take good care of the child?"

"I'm not sure. I see the child hasn't woken up yet, but it shouldn't be a serious matter, otherwise the hospital wouldn't agree to discharge them."

Lin Yue was not so optimistic. The child had been in a coma for so long, it was impossible that it was just because of diarrhea. When Lin Yue thought of Xu Xiaofang pushing the child at noon, she felt uneasy, fearing that the child had bumped into something and fell into a coma. She wanted to go and see, but it was someone else's child after all, and she and Xu Xiaofang didn't get along, so it would be useless to go.

Zhang Yuandong patted Lin Yue on the back and comforted him, "Don't think too much about it. I'll go to the hospital with you after dinner to ask about the situation."

Lin Yue shook his head: "Have you forgotten what you said yesterday? Tonight, "The Great Conqueror" is playing, and you said you would take the children to watch it. I have already told them, and I can't go back on my word. After dinner, you take them to the movie, and I will go by myself."

After all, they are other people's children. She can go by herself. There is no need to disappoint children because of other people's affairs.

Zhang Yuandong knew that she was a person with her own ideas, so he nodded helplessly and said, "Don't worry about other people's affairs. Look what I brought back."

He took out a thick red cloth from his clothes and unfolded it. It turned out to be a banner. Lin Yue saw the words on it and his face turned red. There were eight big characters written on it: "The most beautiful military wife who is brave enough to save people". The first and last characters were Lin Yue's name and the unit number.

Zhang Yuandong left late just for this reason. He pulled out the supporting pole and hid the golden flag in his arms. He originally wanted to give Lin Yue a surprise, but he didn't expect to encounter such a bad thing.

When several children saw the banner, they ran over cheering. They were even more excited than Lin Yue and Zhang Yuandong. They kept shouting that their mother was the most beautiful military wife and wanted to hang the banner in the most conspicuous place in the house.

The family had just finished dinner when Wang Tingting knocked on his door.

Wang Tingting had just gotten off work, and she came to Lin Yue's house as soon as she got back. She came to pay Lin Yue back, but her words were as unpleasant as ever, "Here, this is the ten yuan deposit you paid. I didn't expect you to be so generous. You're rushing to pay for someone else's child's hospitalization. Do they remember you?"

Lin Yue said helplessly: "The child became like this after eating the food Ling Ling gave him. I can't just ignore it."

"Who said it was Lingling's fault? Our Lingling did nothing wrong. On the contrary, she was so kind. She felt sorry for her friend and gave all the delicious food to her friend. How could such a well-behaved and kind child do anything wrong? Come here, Lingling, come over to Aunt Tingting!"

Ling Ling flew over and gave Wang Tingting a kiss on the face. She was particularly passionate today, probably because she felt uncomfortable, and she was particularly happy that someone was protecting her.

Lin Yue said helplessly: "You can't do this, it will spoil the child's habits!"

Wang Tingting didn't care: "That's nothing, our Lingling is great, Auntie Tingting wants to teach you to dance, do you want to learn?"

Ling Ling nodded frantically: "Is dancing like what is shown in the movies? It's so beautiful, I want to learn it!"

Lin Yue didn't take it seriously and asked, "I paid 10 yuan in advance to the hospital, why did it all get refunded?"

"Originally there were some examination fees, but this afternoon the couple insisted on taking the child out of the hospital, and we couldn't stop them. This is a military hospital, and we already take care of families, so the hospital leaders waived the examination fees."

Wang Tingting curled her lips and continued, "That child is also pitiful. She has such severe anemia and is too weak. The hospital wanted to give her a blood transfusion, but the couple disagreed, saying it was unlucky..."

Lin Yue was a little worried. "Is it okay for her to be discharged from the hospital like this? I don't think Xu Xiaofang is someone who can take care of a child."

Wang Tingting put Lingling down and walked towards the door, saying without looking back: "Then don't worry about it. Not long after she left, the hospital leader went to look for Aunt Liu. She should have arrived at Captain Liu's house by now."

When she got to the door, she turned around and said, "Don't take the blame on yourself. The child is not doing well. She doesn't have enough food to eat and has to do housework. If it weren't for the fact that her illness was triggered all at once and you happened to catch her, she would have died quietly sooner or later. If this can attract the attention of the leaders in the camp, it might be a good thing for her."

Lin Yue really didn't expect that the child was so seriously ill. "I heard from the doctor that he would be well soon after staying in the hospital for two days. Why is it so serious?"

"Her biggest problem right now is anemia. It's an emergency. Give her blood transfusions for two days and she'll be almost fine. But that doesn't mean she's fine. If we leave it alone, it's bound to cause serious problems."

Lin Yue nodded. In fact, she had seen a lot of such things in her hometown in the past few years. Life was hard in the past few years and girls were not valued. Many families felt that it was a kindness to give them some food and prevent them from starving to death. As for the children's health, what could they do if they didn't live up to their expectations? Even if they died, it was fate.

In fact, Lin Yue really felt powerless during those years. She might be able to secretly benefit the collective, but it was extremely difficult when it came to individuals.

After dinner, Zhang Yuandong saw that she looked listless, so he winked at the children, and they pestered her to go to the playground to watch a movie.

Lin Yue was entertained by a few children and soon forgot about those unhappy things.

This matter soon came to a conclusion. Liu Erya was sent to the hospital again that night. This time, Xu Xiaofang didn't have the face to ask Lin Yue for money again, because the biggest responsibility for the child's condition lay with her. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to take the blame and didn't dare to make a fuss again.

On the third day, Aunt Liu informed everyone that children over the age of eight must go to primary school, and no later than nine years old. And regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, if a family is found to be abusing their child, their eligibility to accompany the army will be revoked.

Many people were unhappy when this was said. "We have so many children at home, how can we afford to send all of them to school? Besides, we have met the requirements for accompanying the troops, why can we cancel it just like that?"

It was difficult to gather the military families in the family compound, and Aunt Liu couldn't notify every household, so she only selected one household on each floor to notify, and that one household was responsible for the rest.

The person in charge of notifying Lin Yue at this level was Wang Tingting. She was chosen for no other reason than her status. No one dared to mess with her too much. When she heard someone say this, she said bluntly, "First of all, this is not what Aunt Liu meant. It is an order issued by the military region. Don't tell me if you have anything to say. Wait until your man comes back and go and mess with them. Let them go to the leader. Secondly, primary school in the military region has never been free. This is a benefit for military families. When did you have to bear the responsibility!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Sure enough, when the men came back, the military families heard from them what happened at today's meeting. It was exactly the same as what Aunt Liu had notified them of, and even more serious. The leader said directly: "You can't even take care of your own children. How can I trust your character and entrust you with the important task of defending our country!"

Originally, men didn't care much about their children at home, but after hearing this, they took this matter to heart. When Lin Yue passed by the corridor at night, he heard many people getting angry because of this matter.

Lin Yue felt much more relieved, as if a huge weight had finally fallen from his heart.
