Chapter 275 Commander: I'll just pretend it never happened
The next morning, Wang Zongming took a bus into the city and went to the Armed Forces Department.
It was his first time to visit the Armed Forces Department. After coming out of the train station, he asked several fellow villagers before he found the Armed Forces Department compound in the county town.
"Comrade! I'm from Longwan Village. Excuse me, where is the cafeteria of your armed forces department?" Wang Zongming was not as smart as his younger brother Zonghao. He was honest and seldom came to the county town. When he arrived at the gate of the armed forces department compound, he didn't dare to go in.
Fortunately, Wang Zongming saw a man in uniform coming to the compound to work, and he hurried to ask him.
"The cafeteria? It's behind this building. You can see it if you walk along the side path."
Wang Zongming also saw a stone road next to the gray building and nodded, "Thank you for the trouble."
I walked along the path to the back of the small building and saw a bungalow with its vermilion door open. The smell of food wafted out from inside.
He walked to the door, looked inside, and called out, "Zonghao, Zonghao."
Wang Zonghao thought he was hallucinating because he missed home too much, until he noticed a figure outside the kitchen and immediately turned around to look.
"Brother?! Why did you come to the city?"
As soon as the two brothers met, Wang Zongming told his younger brother about the big things that had happened at home.
Before he finished speaking, Wang Zonghao slammed the table and said, "Did the Han family really say that my sister is not worthy of Han Suijing?! Bullying the Wang family is just country folk, so this is not the way to bully people!"
Although Wang Zonghao doesn't like the old woman of the Zhai family, his sister will definitely not divorce her brother-in-law for no reason, and she will not be entangled with Han Suijing.
After he calmed down, he stood up from the stool and said, "After breakfast, I will go find Zou Bu."
"They will come to dinner in a while. You go talk to Zou Bu and ask him for a favor. But don't let Han Suijing know. The Wang family has completely fallen out with the Han family. My parents went to the Han family yesterday and were treated like that. I don't want to have anything to do with the Han family anymore." Wang Zongming said angrily.
"This kind of thing cannot be known to other people. After all, it is not a public matter..." Wang Zonghao had seen more of the world, so he told his brother about it immediately. The two brothers decided to wait until everyone in the courtyard had breakfast before going to the front office to find Minister Zou.
In order to avoid suspicion, Wang Zongming discussed with his brother and went out, finding a secluded place outside the Armed Forces yard to wait.
After breakfast, Wang Zonghao quickly cleaned up the kitchen before closing the door and going out to meet his brother.
After the meeting, Wang Zonghao went to the front office building to take a look at the door of Zou Bu's office. There was no one else in the office that morning.
Wang Zonghao hurried downstairs and waved to his brother, and the two brothers went upstairs together and went to the Zoubu office.
Ten minutes later.
"I really didn't expect that so many things would happen when Deputy Colonel Zhai took his sister-in-law to the army!" When Zou heard that Zhai Ximo had divorced his wife, and that his sister-in-law might now marry the most brilliant son of the Han family, he could not say he was shocked, but he was so surprised that the cup in his hand fell on the table.
Wang Zongming was also very embarrassed: "My parents came home last night and both cried. We are all worried about my sister, so I would like to ask Zou Bu to see if he can make some concessions and let my father talk to my sister."
"Otherwise, when the old couple from the Han family arrive in Yun Province, my sister will definitely be the one who suffers." Wang Zonghao's eyes turned red with anger, and he wanted to run to the Han family and give them a good scolding, but they also knew that the Wang family did not have the confidence to do so.
Zou Bu seemed embarrassed. "You guys go back and do your work first. Let me think about how to deal with this matter. If I can get in touch with them, I will let you know then."
After watching the two Wang brothers leave, Zou Bu suddenly stood up from his chair and walked back and forth in the office.
"That's Han Suijing! He actually fell in love with the daughter of the Wang family..."
Wang Zonghao was very smart. He only told Zou Bu that his sister might want to marry Han Suijing and did not mention anything about the child.
Therefore, Zou Bu felt that this matter was enough to make people want to gossip.
He sat in his office and thought for a long time, then took action and tried to call Yunnan Province.
"Since this phone call cannot be made to Han Suijing, then it can only be made to the department closest to Han Suijing, which is the commander's secretary's office?" After thinking so, Zou opened the address book on the table and called the secretary's office of the Kun District Command.
In the morning, Commander Duan returned to the office after a meeting, and Secretary Lu followed him into the office.
Report truthfully: "Commander! I just received a call from the Armed Forces Department in Han Bingtuan's hometown. They said they wanted to talk to Han Bingtuan's fiancée. What do you think I should do about this?"
"The Armed Forces Department in Han Suijing's hometown? People from the Armed Forces Department know my young wife?" Commander Duan raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this, turned around, and looked at Secretary Lu with interest, "Who is the other party?"
"It is said that the Wang family wants to talk to Comrade Ziru."
"Wang's parents?" Commander Duan pursed his lips slightly, speaking in a nonchalant voice. After a while, he said, "Call Han Bingtuan and ask him to come to my office."
"Yes! Commander!"
Li Junfeng came in with a few documents and passed by Secretary Lu. "Commander, the two families must have had a quarrel last night. I saw Han Bingtuan's eyes were red this morning."
Commander Duan lazily leaned back in his chair, tapping the edge of the table with his fingertips, and said leisurely, "It seems that Han Suijing can't handle his parents."
Based on his understanding of Han Suijing's weak character of being afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, he knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat his powerful parents and grandmother at home.
He can't even protect the woman he likes, what a wimp!
Unlike him, he doesn't even look at his uncle when he gets angry.
"Humph, I want to see what other magic weapons the Han family boss has in his hand."
Li Junfeng looked like he wanted to gossip, and he secretly observed the commander's expression. He saw a smile on his face, and his tone was casual, "If nothing unexpected happens, Han Tingzhang will be in Feiyun Province again."
Not long ago, the two had an unpleasant encounter in the Ninth Division, and Duan Yanzhi still remembered this grudge with Han Tingzhang.
He wanted to see with his own eyes what methods Han Tingzhang could use!
Han Suijing soon appeared in front of Commander Duan.
"Commander! Are you looking for me?"
"Well," Commander Duan looked up and down at his best subordinates, and then said slowly, "I heard that Bao'er's grandparents wanted to talk to their daughter, and the call was made to the headquarters. What do you think we should do about this?"
Suddenly, Han Suijing was startled. After a while, he asked coldly, "Did they call through the county's armed forces?"
"Probably," Commander Duan closed his eyes slightly, looking relaxed, leaning back in his chair, his fingers lazily resting on his waist, tapping his shoulders and arms from time to time, "It's up to you. If you don't want them to call, I'll pretend nothing happened."
"The Wang family wants to talk to their daughter. I can't stop them, nor can I pretend I don't know. You..." Han Suijing gritted his teeth, his face stiff, "Send someone to notify Ziru to come over and answer the phone later."
Commander Duan said 'hmm' in a drawn-out tone, his lips slightly curved, "Okay, let's do as you say. Let her come to the headquarters to answer the phone at night. There will be too many people during the day to see her, so other officers won't see her and ask questions."
He had heard from his grandfather last night that during this period, Wang Ziru agreed to give the old man injections every day to help him recuperate, so he just needed to arrange for someone to pick her up.
After this communication, Commander Duan instructed Secretary Lu to call the Cangnan County Armed Forces Department back.
The Cangnan County Armed Forces Department received a call from the Yunnan Provincial Headquarters. Zou felt that things were going relatively smoothly, so he hurried to the cafeteria to tell Wang Zonghao, "Let your brother go home and ask your father to come to the city. The secretary of the headquarters said it will be eight o'clock tonight."
Wang Zonghao rushed out and asked his brother to go home quickly to ask his parents to go into the city.
At noon, Wang Ziru and her children were having lunch with Mr. Duan, and Han Suijing passed by.
When he saw the mother and daughter, he greeted them gently and then sat down to have lunch with them.
After finishing the meal, while the old man went upstairs to his room to rest, he called Wang Ziru out the door and told her, "Mom and Dad want to talk to you on the phone. Go to the commander's office to pick you up at 8 o'clock in the evening."
"Well, actually they are too nervous. There is no need to disturb the commander."
Wang Ziru could guess without asking that her parents must have had something bad happen at Han's house yesterday and they were angry and worried about her, so they tried their best to contact her.
Han Suijing held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, my parents can't do anything."
"Oh, I suddenly remembered that last time I borrowed money from the commander, I asked Zhai Ximo to write an IOU. It seems that I have to pay back this money first and ask Zhai Ximo for it later." Wang Ziru suddenly thought that she still owed the commander some money.
During this time, she also thought that she should clear up all past relationships.
Han Suijing opened his mouth and said, "I can just give it back to him, you don't have to."
"I'm also using the money you gave me to pay it back! It's okay, I borrowed it in the first place, so I should pay it back."
In the afternoon, after giving Mr. Duan the third dose of medicine for the day, Han Suijing took his mother and daughter back to the Queen Hotel.
When Wang Ziru returned to the hotel, she learned that hot water was available during this time period, so she asked Han Suijing to take the children to the shower room to take a bath.
We had a simple dinner in the hotel restaurant.
After it was completely dark, Han Suijing was about to go out to send his fiancée back to the army headquarters, but Commander Duan had already arranged for Li Junfeng to come and pick her up.
"You just stay in the hotel to take care of the child. Maybe you won't have much time to spend with the child in the future." Wang Ziru had a vague feeling that although Han Suijing was her biological father, he might have very little time to spend with her child in the future.
When she arrived at the military base by car, all administrative departments had closed for the day.
Only the headquarters was brightly lit.
Following Li Junfeng into Commander Duan's office, Wang Ziru felt very guilty. Ever since the last time they were forced to separate in the hotel, they have been avoiding each other whenever they see each other.
But I didn't expect to meet him at the headquarters late at night because of these trivial matters. "Commander! I'm sorry to trouble you this time."
"What trouble? It's just a phone call." Commander Duan turned around, his narrow eyes raised, his nose straightened, and he stood up from behind his desk. "Talk to your parents. They tried every possible way to contact you."
After a pause, he realized that she was the only one who came to the headquarters, "Why didn't you bring your child?"
"It's not good for children to overhear adults talking." Wang Ziru didn't even dare to raise her head to look at the other person, but took out an envelope from her pocket, handed it over respectfully with both hands, and said weakly: "I borrowed money from the commander last time. I'm sorry it took so long to return it."
