"Who is your husband?" Sheng Qing asked knowingly.
Gan Qi's eyebrows curved, her eyes were full of smiles, and she tried her best to act like a virtuous military wife. "His name is Jiang Chengshi. You didn't come to my husband's promotion banquet last time because of the mission. I understand. Thank you for your hard work."
"My house is just ahead, just a few steps away. My family has been thinking about you for a long time, and finally we have you here. Please do me the honor of having a meal with me this time."
Sheng Qing looked at her with a puzzled look, "Isn't Jiang Chengshi's wife from Malaysia? How come it's you?"
"She was shameless and did something wrong. She divorced my husband because of a disagreement." Gan Qi cast a warning look at Ma Lai again, as if to say: Jiang Chengshi's promotion is a foregone conclusion. It will be useless for you, a powerless village girl with a bad record, to report her.
Once Jiang Chengshi officially becomes the team leader, it also means that Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen’s good days are about to end.
"Gu Zhiqing, I'm so sorry, my honesty is on par with your partner."
Gu Wanwan raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, and said calmly, "Jiang Chengshi will never be as good as my boyfriend. If he were the head of a regiment, my boyfriend would have been a division commander long ago."
Gan Qi choked in dissatisfaction, "All the comrades from the army are here, is it fake? Gu Zhiqing, are you worried that my husband will threaten your girlfriend's status? And the division commander, it's unreliable to jump several levels."
Qian Mei'e spat at her, "Jiang Chengshi jumped four levels and thought it was reliable? Brother Chen is still the undisputed king of soldiers. What achievements did your Jiang Chengshi have?"
Gan Qi couldn't explain it at all. She herself didn't understand how Jiang Chengshi could have been promoted several levels.
Ma Lai Di had been paying attention to Gu Wanwan's reaction. Seeing that she was always confident of victory and not worried at all about Jiang Chengshi's revenge later, she suddenly recalled Jiang Chengshi's performance in the army. It was impossible for such an ordinary ex-husband to be promoted for no reason. He must have been lucky or someone had schemed against him.
"Captain Sheng, I want to report Jiang Chengshi for having affairs with both men and women. He is unworthy of being an officer."
Gan Qi didn't expect that at the critical moment, Ma Lai Di really didn't care about her son's future and wanted to drag the Jiang family into the water. "Captain Sheng, don't listen to her nonsense. It was Ma Lai Di who drugged people and ruined their innocence. He smeared the reputation of the Jiang family. If you don't believe me, ask the villagers."
Some of the villagers, in order to please the future head of the group's wife, directly attacked Malay.
"Ma Lai-jian wanted her natal family over her husband and son, and she almost killed Gu Zhiqing's good sister Zheng Zhiqing."
"She did all kinds of bad things. She was jealous and resentful of Gan Qi. No wonder her own son recognized Gan Qi as his mother. She even sent her biological parents to jail. She was not disciplined in private. She accepted the betrothal gift from the butcher of Qingshan Village and deliberately regretted not marrying her."
"Gan Zhiqing is very nice to Jiang's parents-in-law. Jiang Chengshi even praised her as a good wife and a loving mother. Only a fool would choose Ma to watch."
“…”
Gan Qi looked gloating, and she was very pleased with the villagers' compliments and flattery.
As soon as Jiang Laotie and Jiang Guadui got the news, they rushed to the scene with smiles on their faces, "Captain Sheng, we are sorry to have embarrassed you. Please come with us to Jiang's house."
Only Jiang Chengshi was left, still acting like the "team leader", waiting for Sheng Qing and the others to come in person.
Sheng Qing raised his hand and said expressionlessly, "Jiang Chengshi, wait a moment, we need to find Jiang Zhengyi first."
Jiang Laotie was secretly delighted, but said unforgivingly, "Did Jiang Zhengyi make a mistake? Just go ahead and arrest him. He and I are not biological father and son, so you don't need my consent. We will definitely cooperate with the organization."
"Fortunately, Qian Mei'e and I divorced a long time ago, otherwise I would have been implicated by them and their son sooner or later."
Widow Jiang turned her head to look at Qian Mei'e and smiled sarcastically, "Gu Zhiqing finally cured Jiang Zhengyi, but Jiang Zhengyi is useless. He still wants to return to the army? Unless the sun rises from the west."
Gu Wanwan pushed Qian Mei'e in front of her and said, "Your family's wedding is coming."
Qian Mei'e sorted out her confused thoughts, led Sheng Qing to the new home, and stood outside the gate and shouted, "Zhengyi, Captain Sheng is here to see you."
Jiang Zhengyi took a deep breath, puffed out his chest and stepped out of the door, "Hello, Battalion Commander!"
Sheng Qing patted his shoulder and took out a letter of appointment. "Good boy, you will be the deputy battalion commander in the future. Auntie, you will be able to follow the army in a while, and you will have a good life in the future."
These words were like a bomb, shocking the villagers.
Qian Mei'e covered her mouth and finally burst into tears of joy, "Really? My son returned to the army and got a promotion?"
Gu Wanwan smiled and said, "He's not the platoon leader, but the deputy battalion commander."
"When I get promoted in a while, he will be the battalion commander without any surprise." Sheng Qing's attitude was serious and affirmative, "Jiang Zhengyi, work hard. The military merit that belongs to you cannot be taken away by anyone."
Jiang Zhengyi was so excited that he couldn't express it in words and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Gan Qi was dumbfounded. "How is it possible? Could you have made a mistake? He has been retired for a long time. How could he have achieved military merit? Could it be that he took advantage of my husband?"
Jiang Laotie was afraid that his son would be taken advantage of, so he quickly stated again and again, "Captain Sheng, my Jiang family has nothing to do with Qian Mei'e and her son, you can't confuse them."
Widow Jiang really couldn't accept that Qian Mei'e and her son had turned the tables, and she said unwillingly, "He's just a deputy battalion commander. My son is a regiment commander, several levels higher than Jiang Zhengyi."
Sheng Qing was so angry at the ugly faces of the Jiang family that he laughed, "I heard it right, it is you Jiang family who are fanciful. I know Jiang Zhengyi has nothing to do with the Jiang family. He was promoted to battalion commander because of his military merits and strength. Jiang Chengshi is far inferior to him."
Jiang Laotie was not happy to hear others belittle his son. "My son is the regiment commander, and you are just a small battalion commander. How dare you offend the regiment commander's parents? Be careful or I will have my son expel you."
Gu Wanwan clicked her tongue twice and started to criticize anyone she was upset with, "Your Jiang family owns this army? Do you think this is ancient times? Do you want to drag him out and chop his head off? As a parent, don't you have any idea of your son's ability? The fact is that Jiang Zhengyi is better and more capable than Jiang Chengshi. If he doesn't get promoted, who will? His serious leg injury is proof of his military merit."
"And you? You took the opportunity to spread rumors that he was fired for doing something wrong. When he was injured, you cut off his escape route and refused to give him medical treatment. You forced him to make room for your son. You were worried that Jiang Zhengyi would threaten your son, and you even seized his retirement pay to give to Widow Jiang and her son. It turns out that they are not your biological children. No wonder you don't care about Jiang Zhengyi's life or death."
The villagers were so shocked that they opened their mouths. "So this is the truth. Even if Jiang Zhengyi is not his biological son, why didn't Jiang Laotie divorce Qian Mei'e?"
"I remember that Jiang Zhengyi was the first to join the army, and it was Jiang Laotie who forced Jiang Zhengyi to recommend Jiang Chengshi, otherwise Jiang Chengshi would still be working in the fields."
"Jiang Chengshi is not Jiang Laotie's biological son, so Jiang Laotie is too kind to Widow Jiang and her son, isn't he? Is there some hidden relationship between them, uncle and sister-in-law?"
