Tang Wanning thought he would have to spend some more time talking to his mother, but he didn't expect her to agree so easily.
"Then let's go back to the guesthouse. Let's not buy anything today and save the money for wholesale shoes."
Now that the decision has been made, Su Meijuan no longer hesitated, "Okay, then we'll buy it when we make money."
The mother and daughter were thinking about buying some sneakers in bulk, so they didn't want to have the big meal.
They wanted to save some money and bring back a few more pairs of sneakers, so after having a quick dinner, they returned to the military guesthouse.
-
military camp.
After Xu Zhenhua and Wu Lifang were taken away, they were kept in the detention room until the results of Shen Qinian's investigation were reported back, and then the leaders began to discuss the outcome of the two's handling.
Since there was no precedent for this incident, and the military wives were talking about it and clamoring for Xu Zhenhua to receive the punishment he deserved, the punishment was even heavier than the original crime of bigamy.
After Li Xuewen received the result of the treatment, he immediately went to the detention room.
At this time, Xu Zhenhua had long lost the high spirits he had in the morning, and he became completely lifeless.
After all, he was about to lose his proudest military identity, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to a man.
Seeing Xu Zhenhua like this, Li Xuewen just felt that he deserved it!
Such a good girl was actually tricked by him like this. If he said so, the punishment was too light and should be more severe.
Xu Zhenhua heard the noise coming from the door and looked over. When he saw that it was Li Xuewen who came in, his lips trembled a few times, but in the end he said nothing.
The look of wanting to say something but not wanting to, wanting to ask but not daring to, made Li Xuewen sneer.
Are you scared now?
It's a pity it's too late.
Li Xuewen said in a cold voice, "Xu Zhenhua, the result of your handling has been announced."
Xu Zhenhua hung his head, not daring to speak. Li Xuewen saw this and said directly without caring about his reaction:
"Although you and Tang Wanning didn't file a marriage report, you held a wedding banquet in the village, and for over a year, she has lived in your house as the daughter-in-law of the Xu family.
She took care of your parents, housework, and crops for you. During this period, you were in a de facto marriage, so you committed bigamy.
Not only that, you concealed the fact that you were dating Wu Lifang and became pregnant before marriage. This matter has a truly detrimental impact, so after consultation with the leadership, we have decided to expel you from the military and sentence you to two years in prison in accordance with the law."
After hearing Li Xuewen’s last words, Xu Zhenhua felt like the sky was falling.
He thought the worst outcome would be expulsion from the military, but he didn't expect to be sentenced.
His face turned pale, and his hands began to tremble slightly. "Why is this happening? Why am I being sentenced?"
"This is the result of careful consideration by our leaders. If you're dissatisfied with the outcome, go and speak to them," Li Xuewen scoffed. "By the way, you also have to return Tang Wanning's dowry intact. In addition, you must compensate Tang Wanning with an additional sum of money. After all, she's been by your parents' side, taking care of the household for you over the past year."
As he spoke, Li Xuewen handed a notebook to Xu Zhenhua and said, "She has taken care of your parents for more than a year, so calculate it as a year and a half, 40 yuan per month, which means 720 yuan for a year and a half.
The one-time compensation for loss of reputation is 300 yuan, plus the 300 yuan betrothal gift, for a total of 1,320 yuan."
I thought Xu Zhenhua was miserable enough being expelled from the military and sentenced, but I didn’t expect that he would have to pay compensation!
Especially when he heard the compensation figure of 1,320 yuan, Xu Zhenhua was completely stunned.
Where did he get so much money?
The wedding had already cost a lot of money, and Xu Zhenhua also gave Wu Lifang a large sum of betrothal gifts. Now he only had more than 300 yuan left on him.
Even if he sold himself, Xu Zhenhua couldn't come up with 1,320 yuan. Moreover, even if he wanted to sell himself, there was no guarantee that anyone would buy him.
In that case, let's just start. He has been sentenced and expelled from the military anyway, so what is there to be afraid of?
Besides, it was that bitch Tang Wanning who harmed him to this point, and now she actually wants to take back her dowry and even wants to make a fortune from him. It’s a nice thought.
Xu Zhenhua frowned slightly, his eyelids drooping, and said weakly:
"Captain Li, my monthly allowance is so little, and I'm going to marry Wu Lifang, so I've almost spent all my savings. I'm really broke right now, so even if I wanted to pay, I'd be powerless."
Watching Xu Zhenhua's change from disbelief at the beginning to nervousness and then to pretense now, Li Xuewen had already seen through his thoughts.
He is indeed a scumbag. Knowing that he has been expelled from the army, he doesn't even want to pretend anymore.
Li Xuewen's voice was cold, and he looked at Xu Zhenhua with disdain: "Xu Zhenhua, don't think I don't know what you are thinking.
Let me be clear with you: if you can't come up with the money, your two-year sentence could become five years, or even longer."
Hearing Li Xuewen's words, Xu Zhenhua, who was about to start, suddenly raised his head, and the hope in his heart disappeared in an instant.
I only heard his nervous voice, "Deputy Battalion Commander Li, I just forgot that there are more than 300 yuan in the box under the bed in my dormitory.
Add to that the 500 yuan I gave Wu Lifang as a betrothal gift, and that's over 800 yuan. You can ask Wu Lifang for the remaining amount. If it's not enough, there are still my parents to help. You must not increase my sentence."
Seeing Xu Zhenhua's face looking like his father had died, Li Xuewen gave him a meaningful look, which made Xu Zhenhua lower his head guiltily.
Immediately afterwards, Li Xuewen hurriedly walked straight towards Wu Lifang's detention room.
After pushing open the door, Li Xuewen saw that Wu Lifang looked listless and slumped in a chair. After all, the punishment for her crime of destroying a military marriage could not be light.
In addition, the military wives were outraged yesterday, and she initially tried to conceal important information, which made the impact of this incident extremely bad. So if nothing unexpected happens, she should also be expelled from the army.
At this moment, Wu Lifang was extremely regretful, regretting why she had placed her bet on Xu Zhenhua.
In the end, not only did he not gain any benefits, but he was also expelled from the military.
If both of them are expelled from the military, how will they live in the future?
Could it be possible that I could go back to the village and farm?
But she had finally managed to escape from the countryside through her own efforts, and now she was going back to the countryside.
Thinking about the days that seemed to be coming to an end, Wu Lifang felt very desperate.
Just when she was crying uncontrollably, she suddenly heard the door of the detention room open, and standing at the door was Li Xuewen.
Wu Lifang sobbed and asked, "Deputy Battalion Commander Li...Deputy Battalion Commander Li, have the punishment results been announced?"
