The three of them took the bus back. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the compound, they saw a large crowd gathered there. Crying could be heard from the crowd, and the crying was so heart-wrenching, as if someone had died.
As she got closer, Xia Anyan heard a familiar voice.
She squeezed through the crowd and then heard Sun Xiuzhi crying: "My husband went out on a mission and hasn't come back yet. My daughter is being driven to her death back home. Leader, you can't just ignore this!"
"I only have these two daughters. If anything happens to them, I won't be able to live. Boss, you must help me and my daughters!"
Sun Xiuzhi cried so hard, so sadly.
Standing in front of her was none other than the military leader, the very same Commander Cui they had just been talking about.
Commander Cui is going out to pick up his wife today.
He couldn't find a wife because he looked too fierce.
He married this woman when he was twenty-eight. The couple didn't fall in love at first sight; he pursued her.
At the time, everyone thought that their relationship was like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung, and that his wife was after his status.
But his wife has always been a pillar of the performing arts troupe; even without him, she has always been the most dazzling.
Even more so because of him, his wife was about to leave her beloved stage. He was too heartbroken to believe what those people were saying.
Sure enough, no sooner had he been transferred here than his wife resigned, planning to come and follow him, and perhaps have another baby.
For the sake of his wife's career, he didn't have children for several years after they got married.
Seeing that he was getting on in years, his wife felt sorry for him and brought up the topic of having children. Commander Cui was now quite eager to bring his wife over to have a baby as soon as possible.
As a result, they were stopped as soon as they stepped out the door.
Commander Cui rubbed his temples, looked at the person on the ground crying uncontrollably, and sighed: "Xiao Su, go to the train station and bring your sister-in-law back. Tell her I have some matters to attend to at the army base."
Xiao Su was Commander Cui's bodyguard and had been transferred from there as well, so he naturally recognized Commander Cui's wife.
He was also the one who knew best how good the relationship was between his division commander and his wife. Now, the division commander was being stopped by his wife from the compound. If she knew, she would probably sigh again: "The old women in the compound are such a drag on the family."
Xiao Su responded and turned to leave.
After everyone left, Sun Xiuzhi cried even louder and told them about what had happened to her two daughters.
"Commander, leader, you must help me! If even you won't help me, I really don't know what to do."
“My mother-in-law is trying to drive me to my death. If she can’t stand me, she can just hit me. Why did she have to sell my two daughters? How old are they? How could she, as their own grandmother, do such a thing?”
Sun Xiuzhi was forced into a corner.
She had been waiting for several days without any news. She called the brigade and the brigade leader said that her two daughters had already been taken away by those two families.
Her husband isn't home, and she can't go back herself. Is she really going to just stand by and watch her two daughters be sold?
When Xia Anyan came in, she heard what she had said and then realized what had happened. It turned out that the matter from a few days ago was still unresolved.
She frowned and looked at Commander Cui.
She had heard Sun Xiuzhi call out to Commander Cui while she was outside, so this must be the person they were discussing at noon.
Judging from his appearance, he does seem a bit fierce, but he should be a person who gets things done.
She didn't immediately go forward to help Sun Xiuzhi, but stood on the outside, looking inside and waiting to hear what was happening.
"Comrade, please get up quickly. I didn't say I wouldn't help you."
“If what you said is true, I can call the local police station right now and have them handle this matter.”
Even after Commander Cui had spoken, Sun Xiuzhi still shook her head and cried fiercely.
Her face was covered in snot and tears, and she looked quite disheveled, but she didn't care at all: "Commander, if this matter were really so easy to resolve, then I wouldn't have come here to find you."
Commander Cui frowned, not quite understanding what she meant.
Sun Xiuzhi wiped away her tears and hurriedly said, "I reported this matter a few days ago and contacted the police in my hometown, but their efficiency is really too poor. When I called the captain of our brigade today, I heard that the police there have not taken any action yet."
"Commander, I have no other choice but to come to you. Even if you punish me later, I will accept it. I may not be able to save my two daughters first. They... they are really too young."
Commander Cui had always longed to have a daughter, a beautiful little girl like his wife.
Now I heard that Sun Xiuzhi's mother-in-law disliked that the two children were girls, so she sold them off. How could Commander Cui not be angry?
After he got angry, his expression became even fiercer, causing those around him to involuntarily take two steps back.
"Don't worry, I will personally oversee this matter. I will definitely find your two daughters within three days." Commander Cui gave a direct deadline.
He had no idea that he would fail.
If he really fails, then he doesn't need to be a division commander anymore.
Since he's in this position, he has to do his job well, especially someone like Sun Xiuzhi.
She worked diligently in the compound, while her husband worked hard outside; they were role models for everyone.
If he can't solve the problems in the rear areas of those military comrades, then he doesn't deserve to wear this uniform!
Xia Anyan stepped forward at this time.
She stepped forward and grabbed Sun Xiuzhi's arm: "Sister-in-law, the ground is cold, get up quickly."
"I was standing at the back and couldn't squeeze in, but I heard everything you said. Didn't the division commander already agree? Quickly thank the division commander!"
Xia Anyan winked at Sun Xiuzhi.
Sun Xiuzhi immediately understood her meaning, and quickly stood up and bowed to Commander Cui: "Commander, thank you so much."
“I apologize for bothering you this time. When my husband returns, we will personally bring our daughter to thank you.”
Commander Cui waved his hand.
That's not what he wants; he just wants to resolve all the injustices.
But at this moment, his attention fell on Xia Anyan.
This woman's demeanor is completely different from everyone else's; could it be...?
