Chapter 231 Do you have a child who is homeless?
The Wen family was in the midst of a commotion. Su Hong was sitting on a rattan chair, no longer as carefree and relaxed as she usually was when she leaned back and listened to the radio.
Instead, her eyes were red from crying, and the handkerchief in her hand was wet with tears and snot.
"Tell me, what did Yiting do wrong? She was a little girl pursuing her own happiness, and the army made such a big fuss to investigate her..." Su Hong said as tears rolled out again.
Li Juan was so angry that she stomped her feet. People who didn't know the truth thought that Wen Yiting was her daughter who had been living away from home.
"That's right! Wen Yiting is just a bit lucky, why do these people hold on to this little thing and won't let her go? She is still so young, it's normal for her to be ignorant."
"Sister Hong, have you noticed that when Wen Yiting was investigated by the army this time, Deputy Colonel Zhai was not affected at all? Don't you think this is very strange?" Song Ling leaned against the door of the Wen family, holding a small round mirror to look at her own daughter's appearance, and turned around to glance at Su Hong.
Everyone knew that Wen Yiting was pursuing Deputy Captain Zhai. They had heard from Wen Yiting herself that they had been in love since they were studying at university in Kunming District.
There was no need to hide this matter, but when Zhai Ximo returned to his hometown to visit his relatives this year, he not only did not divorce his country wife, but brought that woman to the army.
Recently, the discussion in the family courtyard has subsided.
"That's right!" Li Juan put her hands on her waist and said angrily with a mean look, "Wang Ziru must have arranged it with Commander Duan in private. Commander Duan can investigate this matter if he wants to. If he doesn't investigate, what can Wen Yiting do?"
Under everyone's persuasion, Su Hongren's image as calm as a chrysanthemum also collapsed.
In order to explain the situation to his daughter, he appeared in the downstairs of the regiment office building accompanied by several women.
The regiment headquarters office building belongs to the core office area of the army. Not only are there two sentries standing guard downstairs, but wives of soldiers from the family compound are usually prohibited from entering.
Without the order from the regiment headquarters, even soldiers in the army were not allowed to enter the office building.
The sentry standing in front of the building stopped them and said, "The regiment office building is a key military location. You are not allowed to enter without permission."
"My dear little soldier, we don't have to force our way in. Please be kind enough to inform Commander Duan that I want to see him." Su Hong sniffed and wiped her nose with a handkerchief while begging.
"You go back first! Once the regiment headquarters gives the order, someone will go to the family compound to invite you." The sentry replied formally.
The women were very unwilling to be turned away outside the regiment office building.
"It seems that what Lin Xiaowan said makes some sense. The regiment headquarters is an important military location. Others cannot enter without invitation. But why can Wang Ziru come in and out freely, while Sister Hong's husband is a division-level cadre, and he cannot enter!" Huang Chunmei said sarcastically.
Su Hong finally put aside her pride and went to the regiment headquarters in person to ask Commander Duan for help, but in the end she couldn't even enter the office building.
How could she give up so easily?
Just stand outside and hope for a miracle.
As a result, Su Hong did not wait for any miracle. Instead, she heard that Commander Wen was also investigated by the army!
"Why are you investigating Wen Yuan?!" When Su Hong heard the news, her eyes went dark, her legs went weak, and she hurriedly grabbed an official who was coming out of the regiment headquarters to inquire about the situation.
"This is an investigation procedure initiated by Kun District, and it is a military secret! How would we know what kind of situation Commander Wen is in? Sister-in-law, please don't make it difficult for me..." The clerk pushed Su Hong's hand away and hurried to another office building.
The women who still insisted on staying with Su Hong looked at each other, and gradually some of them left quietly.
Lin Xiaowan was the first to leave.
Li Juan glanced at Lin Xiaowan's back and muttered in her heart:
Not long ago, they went to Baiteng Town to support the front line. Everyone saw clearly that Xu Changhe had done a good job in his position, but Commander Duan ordered him to be demoted and sent to the most remote and difficult unit in Yunnan Province to be the second in command.
And Commander Wen was only a deputy general, his military rank was not as high as Xu Changhe's, and his qualifications were not as good as Xu Changhe's...
Li Juan pretended to make an excuse that she forgot to turn off the stove at home, "Oh, I'm afraid the honeycomb coal I added this morning is about to burn out. I'll go back and add some more honeycomb coal."
The others saw that Li Juan quickly severed her ties with the Wen family, and their relationship with Su Hong was not that close to begin with.
One by one, they made up an excuse, saying that they had this or that family problem, and left the regiment office building and returned to their families' quarters, for fear of being implicated by the Wen family.
"These women are really something! Nothing has happened to our Wen family yet, yet they run away so fast!" Su Hong stood there in a daze, feeling sad but powerless.
Right now, there may be only one way: to ask Wang Ziru for help.
After returning home from Li Village, Wang Ziru hung the half-dried clothes she brought back on the balcony, closed the door, and took a nap.
I began a beautiful life of waiting for my kids to get home from school without any worries.
While she was half asleep, there was a knock on the door. Wang Ziru thought that Zhai Ximo was looking for an excuse to come back and cause trouble for her, so she didn't plan to get up and open the door.
But the person outside the door seemed determined not to give up.
She got dressed, went out and opened the door. Just as she was about to scold him, she saw a woman who could not possibly appear outside the Zhai family's door.
"I'm sorry to bother you..." Su Hong's eyes were red, and there were two red spots on her face. She held a wet handkerchief in both hands, wiped a handful of snot, and said humbly, "I have something to discuss with you. Can we go inside to talk?"
Wang Ziru rubbed her eyes and came back to her senses after a while: "Come in."
After letting the person in, Wang Ziru picked up a chair from the small living room and placed it at the door. "What's the matter that made you come to see me?"
Ever since the two women had a falling out at the Wen family last time, they acted like strangers to each other for a while, so Wang Ziru didn't know why Su Hong suddenly came here.
Su Hong looked at the chair that was deliberately placed at the door, but she had no intention of sitting down. Instead, she pleaded in a low voice, "I came to you today to tell you that if my daughter Wen Yiting has done anything to let you down, please don't take it to heart for the sake of her youth."
"She stole my man and destroyed my marriage, and you want me to ignore it?"
Tears welled up in Su Hong's eyes, and she wanted to sing a sad tune: "Wen Yiting was ignorant and did some wrong things. I am her mother and I did not educate her well. Now I apologize to you on her behalf."
Wang Ziru raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, stood in the small living room, and asked coldly:
"Is it because Mr. Wen has never found other women outside that you can't understand the bitterness and pain of a man fooling around with vixens outside? So you think I can always tolerate this kind of thing?"
She realized that the army must have started an investigation into her daughter, and she was anxious. She didn't care that she was the wife of the deputy division commander, and she shamelessly came to her to plead for mercy.
If one can plead for leniency in matters such as destroying a military marriage, then it can only be said that there is no law in the military.
The corridors on the third, fourth, and fifth floors of the family compound were filled with excited eyes.
Zhao Cuilan, who lived next door to the Zhai family, followed her husband to the army and lived in the family compound for so many years. She was able to see with her own eyes that Su Hong, such a high-ranking woman, lowered her face to plead with Wang Ziru. She was so excited.
She simply moved a chair outside her house, put it there, chewed an apple, and eavesdropped through the wall.
Su Hong had never been slapped in the face like this in her life, but she didn't care. She sniffed, and suddenly knelt down in front of Wang Ziru with a "thump".
"No matter how much harm Wen Yiting has caused you, I, as your mother, will make it up to you, okay?"
"We can give you compensation... as long as the Wen family can afford it."
Wang Ziru listened to her words quietly, and suddenly curled her lips: "You are older than me, I can't bear your kneeling, so get up."
Outside the Zhai family’s door, Zhao Cuilan stood up from her chair and leaned against the door, looking stunned.
She also didn't expect that Su Hong would kneel down and beg Wang Ziru for mercy in order to protect herself!
The women in the family compound all had their pupils trembling.
She is Su Hong!
Although she had been suppressed by Liao Fengjiao in the past few years, Liao Fengjiao still did not dare to confront Su Hong head-on easily.
Not to mention letting Su Hong kneel in front of her.
Compared with the excitement of the family courtyard, every office in the Youth League Headquarters is filled with a cold air.
Zhai Ximo knew that he could not escape the fate of being investigated this time, so after some struggles, he took the initiative to go to the chief's office.
"Deputy Captain Zhai! The commander is working, you can't go in!" Song Jian stopped the officer outside the door.
"I have something very important to report!" Zhai Ximo pushed Song Yan away and walked into the chief's office with his thin figure.
At this moment in the chief's office, Commander Duan sat on the sofa and stopped smoking. It was a rare occasion for him to be like his uncle, leisurely making and drinking tea.
When he calmed down, he had the same elegance and gentleness as his uncle.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the door. The man who was leisurely drinking tea changed his expression slightly and turned back to glance at the figure who broke in.
Commander Duan smiled grimly. The Kun District Investigation Team was on their way to the Ninth Division, but they hadn't found him yet. How could he be so impatient as to come forward and confess his fooling around?
Han Suijing was talking to Guangzhou on the phone before his business trip. He looked up at the young cadre who had barged in despite the guards' obstruction, and raised his face resolutely, "What do you want?"
Then he spoke briefly to the person on the other end of the phone and hung up.
Zhai Ximo stood in front of his desk and just glanced at Han Suijing with a look of obvious mockery on his face. "Report to the commander! I have new information to report."
"What's new?"
"This matter may be related to you, Chief. Otherwise, I will report it directly to Commander Duan?" Zhai Ximo had never felt so happy in his heart. He could actually control Han Suijing in this life!
Commander Duan was still drinking his tea leisurely and didn't answer. After a while, he thought that this guy might be talking about his fooling around with Wen Yiting, but Wen Yiting was pursuing him unilaterally!
The atmosphere inside is extremely subtle.
After a long while, he suddenly asked, "Do you think Wen Yiting will admit that she was only pursuing you unilaterally?"
The tone was light, but still cold, arrogant and unkind!
"What I want to talk about is the true identity of my son!" Zhai Ximo looked at Han Suijing with a mocking expression, "Back then, my wife married me and gave birth to a child only 7 months later. This child is definitely not my biological child! So, Chief, do you think this child is yours?"
Han Suijing stood up suddenly and angrily said, "What did you say?!"
