As Lu Jingnian watched Jiang Yue leave, the warmth of her fingertips still lingered on his face. He subconsciously touched his face, then realized what was happening and immediately closed the door and chased after her.
Jiang Yue had a loud voice, and everyone ran out when they heard the noise.
"What happened to Battalion Commander Lu's family?"
When one of the women saw Jiang Yue run out with her hair disheveled, as if she had just been in a fight, and seeing her crying so pitifully, she asked in shock.
“Sister-in-law, my second uncle asked us to treat my second aunt, and we agreed. But he said it would cost three thousand yuan, and you really can't afford that much money. As a result, my second uncle beat me and Jingnian. We are the younger generation and didn't dare to fight back, but my second uncle still wouldn't let us go. He insisted on going to the army to make trouble for the leaders.”
"Sister-in-law, you say Jingnian is unfilial? Tell me, how bitter our lives are!"
Lu Jingnian supported Jiang Yue, who was crying as if she was about to faint, and said in a grief-stricken voice, "I'm sorry, Yueyue, it's all my fault."
What did you do wrong?
Jiang Yue cried even more aggrievedly, "Your parents died early. Although your second uncle and aunt never fed you when you were little, made you sleep in a leaky cowshed, and beat you at the drop of a hat, almost beating you to death several times, what can you do when they are your second uncle and aunt?"
"They went too far with Battalion Commander Lu."
The military dependents who came out after hearing the commotion were stunned by Jiang Yue's words.
They never imagined that Battalion Commander Lu, who usually had a cold face but was always willing to help others, had such a miserable childhood.
Political Commissar Yu, who happened to arrive, overheard Jiang Yue's words. He knew about Lu Jingnian's situation.
Commissar Yu walked over angrily, looking at Lu Jingnian with a pained expression, "Old Lu, what happened to your clothes?"
Did they hit you?
Lu Jingnian kept his head down and didn't say anything.
When Jiang Yue saw Political Commissar Yu, his identity immediately came to mind, and she immediately complained, "Political Commissar Yu, you know our Jing Nian, he's too kind."
He never said anything when he was bullied. His second uncle was really unreasonable. His sisters-in-law all saw it. When they came to find Jing Nian, I happily took them home. I never expected that they would beat me and Jing Nian for money.
Three thousand yuan, Jingnian and I really can't come up with that.
But my second uncle said that if we didn't give it to him, he would complain to the leaders, saying that Jing Nian was unfilial and that he would force Jing Nian to leave the army. Wasn't he trying to drive Jing Nian to his death?
"That's too much."
Commissar Yu's eyes turned red with anger. "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Our leaders will definitely not let Jing Nian suffer any injustice. I'll go and see for myself. They will definitely not let them distort the truth."
"Political Commissar Yu, we'll go with you. We absolutely cannot let those two slander Battalion Commander Lu."
Several military wives also stepped forward, saying, "We saw with our own eyes that Battalion Commander Lu's wife happily brought the man home when those two people came. We want to testify to that."
"Thank you... thank you everyone!"
Jiang Yue thanked them with tears in her eyes.
With so many people testifying for Lu Jingnian, it will be absolutely impossible for Lu Dajiang to use kinship to morally blackmail Lu Jingnian again, whether this time or in the future.
Lu Dajiang and Wang Huahua had already been led into the military's office for receiving military families, where they were pretending to be innocent and pitiful as they complained to their superiors.
"Boss, we really have no other choice but to come to you."
It wasn't easy raising Jingnian, and we really don't want to make things difficult for him unless absolutely necessary. But his aunt is seriously ill, and we really have no other choice, leader.
You are Jing Nian's superior; he will definitely listen to you. Please, please let Jing Nian give us some money to pay for her aunt's medical treatment.
Wang Huahua also cried, "Boss, the doctor said I won't survive if I don't have surgery."
I want to live, please.
The leader's expression was rather unpleasant. It turned out that these two people were the uncle and aunt who had almost beaten Lu Jingnian to death. Lu Jingnian was now his precious son. Did these two people want to ruin Lu Jingnian by saying such things?
Although he was angry, the leader still spoke to the two of them in a kind manner: "Don't be anxious, I have heard the whole story."
"Boss, my wife and I don't want anything else, we just want Lu Jingnian to pay for his aunt's medical treatment."
Lu Dajiang emphasized this while sobbing.
How can you have such a big face?
The leader smiled and nodded, then said to the clerk standing to the side, "What are you still standing there for? Go and call Lu Jingnian over here."
"yes!"
The clerk glanced at Lu Dajiang and his wife resentfully, then turned and left the office.
As soon as he went out, he saw Political Commissar Yu leading a group of people walking quickly toward him, and Battalion Commander Lu and his wife were also there.
"Political Commissar Yu, why did you bring so many people with you?"
The clerk asked, "Commander Lu's family has arrived, and the leader asked me to come out and call Commander Lu to his office."
"That's exactly what we came here for."
Political Commissar Yu pointed at Lu Jingnian and Jiang Yue, "See? They came to ask for money and then beat people up when they couldn't get it. I'll go and talk to the leaders about it."
The clerk then noticed that a button on Lu Jingnian's clothes had been torn off, and Jiang Yue, whom Lu Jingnian was supporting, had messy hair. It was obvious that they had been in a fight. The two of them looked so disheveled that they might have been beaten by one side. Fortunately, there were no visible injuries on either of them.
Political Commissar Yu bypassed the clerk, walked directly to the leader's office door, knocked symbolically twice, and then pushed the door open and went inside.
A large group of people followed them in, which startled the leader.
"Yu Xiangdong, what are you doing?"
Are you planning a rebellion?
Bringing so many people to his office, does he think this is a vegetable market?
