Chapter 44 It's the incompetent man who blames the woman.
Soldiers' families are inherently aware of the fact that they are often separated from their loved ones. Aunt Tang opened her mouth, but suddenly felt that Cen Yan's words made sense. It is true that Qi Jingchuan has earned a lot of merits through real fighting, but only the families themselves know the hardships of soldiers' families.
Aunt Tang felt a pang of sadness. "You're right. Commander Qi is so lucky to have married such a beautiful wife like you. It's a blessing he's accumulated over a hundred lifetimes." If possible, Aunt Tang didn't want her future son-in-law to be a soldier either.
With just a few words, Cen Yan brought tears to the eyes of the gossiping women gathered under the tree. Being a military spouse is good, but it's also difficult! Sigh, Cen Yan is a perceptive young woman; she has already grasped the hardships of military marriages at such a young age.
"Aunt Tang, it's getting late, I'll head back now." Cen Yan left with a smile, her graceful figure becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.
She's gone, but her legend lives on in the family compound. For example, when the older women talk about her in private, they praise Cen Yan not only for her good personality but also for her quick and efficient work.
He even praised her for her full hips, slender waist, and impressive breasts, saying she could easily tame any man. He wondered if Commander Qi would still have the energy to train the troops in the future...
These words meant nothing to the sisters-in-law, but to Wang Manman they were extremely sarcastic, bringing tears to her eyes. A bunch of short-sighted, ignorant women. What's so great about Cen Yan? She has no manners whatsoever. Is she worth these women gossiping and praising behind her back?
Just wait, you'll soon find out just how ill-mannered and awful Cen Yan is.
Over the next two days, Cen Yan focused on preparing for the wedding. Qi Jingchuan had bricks delivered and sent a soldier with construction experience to help build the bathroom, which she was responsible for overseeing.
Then, select some inconspicuous furniture and decorations from the space, move them back to the family compound through several intermediaries, and make it look like a proper delivery to avoid arousing suspicion by the appearance of something out of nowhere in the house.
While Cen Yan was busy with her own affairs, Qi Jingchuan was not having such a good time. After finishing a day of training, he received confirmation that his marriage application had been blocked, so he immediately went to Commissar Lu's house.
They asked him what happened and why his marriage application was blocked.
Political Commissar Lu did not answer Qi Jingchuan's question immediately. Instead, he stood by the window and lit a cigarette. "Jingchuan, do you know the identity of this Comrade Cen Yan?"
"I know. It was an arranged marriage for me when my elders were alive," Qi Jingchuan replied in a cold voice, though still respectful.
Seeing that he was still pretending to be ignorant, Political Commissar Lu bluntly exposed the truth: "Besides that, she's also a capitalist's daughter, the richest woman in Shanghai! She's on this year's liquidation list! Jingchuan, do you know what marrying a capitalist's daughter means to you? It means your future is over!"
“If I keep my promise and marry my fiancée, my future will be over. When did my future need to be paved by a woman? Teacher, only incompetent men blame women when they encounter difficulties. I believe the organization is not so shallow as to look at me with prejudice just because I married a capitalist’s daughter.”
Qi Jingchuan stood with his hands behind his back, chest out and head held high, speaking each word with a resounding force, which infuriated Political Commissar Lu.
"You're just making excuses! The organization certainly won't blame you for the problem, but there's no guarantee that someone with ulterior motives won't use this to make a big deal out of it!"
“If you want to help Comrade Cen Yan, you can do it in other ways. For example, you can recognize her as your sister and let her register in your Qi family’s household. Or I can find her a good marriage. You don’t need to marry a woman you don’t like and take such a big risk.”
"Teacher!" Qi Jingchuan's face darkened, and he hesitated to speak. "This is a private matter between Cen Yan and me. Please proceed with the process immediately and approve my marriage application."
