Chapter 73 The only way is to get married
In the afternoon, Xiaomei was cleaning the bluestone slabs in the yard when there was a sudden knock on the door.
“Knock knock knock~”
It was Aunt Wang from next door. Xiaomei smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, you're here."
She walked into the yard with a smile, and saw Lin Qingqing sitting under the awning reading a book. She took the initiative to walk over and said, "Little Song's wife, are you reading? I have something to tell you."
"Sister-in-law, please sit down and talk."
She knew that Aunt Wang had a job in the army, and she came to her specifically to tell her about it at work, so it must be true.
Xiaomei handed over two cups of tea with a smile and went to continue cleaning the slate.
"It's like this. Xiao Song's wife, Zhang Jingwan from the art troupe, has been saying things like she and Xiao Song are having an affair. That's all false. Everyone in our compound knows that she has feelings for Xiao Song, but Xiao Song has always ignored her."
"This time, Xiao Song brought you back. We all know that Xiao Song has already reported your marriage. She even came to see Xiao Song and caused this scene again this morning. This behavior is extremely problematic. The commander and the political commissar have decided to transfer her to another unit. Don't worry, the unit will not let military families suffer any grievances. The unit will handle any problems that arise."
These words were taught to her by her own man. She was also surprised when she was called to know the outcome of the matter. The military compound was full of women, so it was normal for them to have some quarrels. It had never been handled so seriously before.
She thought these were probably Xiao Song's requests, just to turn a blind eye to the situation.
Lin Qingqing was also surprised when she heard this. Where there are many women, there are many troubles. The army was a bit "overthinking" about how to deal with this matter. If Zhang Jingwan was transferred like this, it would be estimated that no army would be willing to accept her, and she would end up being retired.
But these were all her own fault. Thinking this in her heart, Lin Qingqing smiled and said, "Thank you, army."
"Xiao Song said your family is treating us to dinner tonight, right? If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
Lin Qingqing smiled and said, "I'm almost ready. If there's anything I can help with, I'll definitely tell my sister-in-law directly."
"Then you can read. Sister-in-law still has to go to work."
"Thank you for making this trip, sister-in-law." Lin Qingqing got up and walked Aunt Wang to the door.
Aunt Wang went out, still muttering in her heart, isn't Xiao Song's wife from the countryside? Why does she like reading books? She just looked carefully and saw that it was a medical book.
Art Troupe
As soon as Captain Zhang returned to the regiment, he called Zhang Jingwan over and told her the result of the commander's handling of the case. This kind of handling had to be reported to the entire unit, so she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.
Tears immediately streamed down Zhang Jingwan's eyes, and she sat down on the ground with a thud.
How could it be like this? How could it be... That woman was just from the countryside, with no family background at all, so why would the army protect her so much?
Song Yiyuan must have contributed to this, was it just because of that face?
The more Zhang Jingwan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She had done so much in the past three years, but Song Yiyuan remained unmoved. It turned out that she was not pretty enough. She should have realized it when she saw that woman.
She felt so pitiful, and she was unwilling to be transferred or retired, letting her enemies laugh at her pain.
She stood up, wiped her tears, and looked at Captain Zhang: "Aunt, you have to think of a way for me. If I am transferred with such a reputation, which unit will want me? If I retire directly, Song Yiyuan and the others will laugh at me even more."
"Speak softly so no one can hear you. Are you still thinking about Song Yiyuan?" Zhang Xiaofang poked Zhang Jingwan's forehead in annoyance.
Zhang Jingwan is her niece's lover, but no one in the army knows about it. Her niece is a pillar of the art troupe, and if others knew about their relationship, they would be drowned in spit.
She had used her connections with her family to arrange for her niece to work under her. Her family's idea was to train her niece well so that she could marry someone with a good family background and a high position in the army in the future so that they could help each other. However, she didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
His niece was very ambitious and had been obsessed with Song Yiyuan for the past few years. There were many good men in the army, but she didn't even look at them.
Zhang Jingwan's face was pale with anxiety. She shook Zhang Xiaofang's arm and asked, "Then... Captain, please think of a solution for me. I just want to go to the 957th Unit."
Zhang Xiaofang glared at Zhang Jingwan fiercely: "Are you anxious now?"
She thought about this on the way back.
"If you want to stay, the only way is to get married." Zhang Xiaofang stared at Zhang Jingwan and expressed her thoughts.
"Who to marry?" Zhang Jingwan blurted out.
She doesn't want to marry someone worse than Song Yiyuan.
Zhang Xiaofang saw her expression and knew she had figured it out, so she said, "Hasn't Zhao Xingguo, the deputy commander of the Third Regiment, always liked you? His family is also from Shanghai, and he earned his position as deputy commander himself, so he has a better future."
Zhang Jingwan lowered her head and thought about Zhao Xingguo. She had liked Song Yiyuan for as long as he had been waiting for her. He had been very good to her over the years, but he was not as good-looking or as tall as Song Yiyuan, and his family background and ability were also weaker than Song Yiyuan's.
But what my aunt said was true. Looking at the entire 957th Unit, no one was better off than Zhao Xingguo.
"Since the leader said he's good, then let him be."
Zhang Xiaofang took Zhang Jingwan's hand and said with a smile, "You won't feel wronged if you marry him. The good days are still to come. I'll go to him tomorrow to test his opinion."
Although Zhang Jingwan was unwilling, it was better than marrying someone she didn't know who he was.
She and Zhao Xingguo are both soldiers. Song Yiyuan's country wife is not good-looking at all. I'm afraid she can't even find a job. Even if Song Yiyuan asks someone to find a job for her, she can only find a job in a factory.
Thinking this in her heart, she felt much better.
There is a lot of time to come, and she will make life difficult for that country woman.
