Lu Rong never imagined that her first visit to the military region would be to see her son's tombstone.
She fantasized that when her son returned from his mission, Wanyue would be eligible to accompany him to the military base. She also imagined that when Wanyue became pregnant and Xiaohui grew up, she could come and take care of Wanyue and the child.
She'll get to see the prosperity of the big city then. She'll be able to enjoy the blessings of her son and daughter-in-law, having lived in such a big city, thanks to her son and daughter-in-law's good fortune. She'll be able to enjoy her later years.
Man proposes, God disposes.
Her son is dead.
Lu Rong had a guess, but she didn't dare tell Wan Yue.
She felt that her son was not dead. They say that a mother and son are connected at heart, and she felt that her son was still alive.
But she could only keep these words to herself. If her son was not dead, it must be the country's decision. If she rashly exposed her son's whereabouts, then her son would really never come back.
The car drove to the military compound, where the young wives were washing clothes in the yard.
Mu Fan was a well-known bachelor in the military region. Seeing that he had a good-looking woman and an elderly woman in his car, people assumed that he was his wife and mother.
A few clueless people said, "Commander Mu, is this your wife?"
Mu Fan glanced at the man.
His subordinate's wife once wanted to introduce her younger sister to him, but he politely declined, saying he already had a fiancée at home. However, she was still persistent and wanted to force herself on him, get him drunk, and force him into marriage.
If it weren't for the fact that his man was a brother who had gone through thick and thin with Lu Yunzhou, he would have abandoned him long ago.
He suppressed his anger and said, "Get out."
The man, seemingly oblivious to the situation, automatically pressed closer, saying, "Oh, young lady, why are you dressed so plainly? Commander Mu is a high-ranking official; even if you don't wear bright red and green, you should at least wear a dress, otherwise people will look down on you."
Mu Fan was seething with anger.
Qiao Wanyue glanced at her, "Dressed like a butterfly, people who know you might think you like festive things, but people who don't might think that someone's butterfly has come to life and is running around scaring people."
The young wives in the family compound stared at Qiao Wanyue, who seemed unassuming but was actually quite formidable.
The woman understood.
Qiao Wanyue scolded her.
Her face darkened, and she rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight.
"She is Commander Lu's wife, Qiao Wanyue, who has come to take Commander Lu home," Mu Fan introduced directly.
The woman's body stiffened.
Lu Yunzhou's young wife.
She couldn't help but slap herself. What had she just said? If her husband had made fun of Lu Yunzhou's wife and mother, he would have killed her!
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't know." The woman's expression immediately changed.
Qiao Wanyue said expressionlessly, "Commander Mu, please take us there."
Qiao Wanyue helped Lu Rong out of the car.
Lu Rong's face was pale as he leaned on his daughter-in-law and walked forward.
"Lu Yunzhou got married?"
"She looks like a country woman, not good enough for Commander Lu. Although she's pretty, she's still not as good-looking as Wen Bing."
I heard that Lu Yunzhou died, and Wen Bing hasn't eaten or drunk anything for three days.
"Wow, he's really devoted."
"It's a real pity about Commander Lu. If he could have come back this time, he might have been promoted."
The family compound wasn't large, and their conversation, which they didn't deliberately lower, all reached Qiao Wanyue and Lu Rong's ears.
The group arrived on the third floor. Mu Fan took out the key and opened the door. It was a three-bedroom apartment, allocated according to Lu Yunzhou's position. It was already furnished, and there was a large "double happiness" character pasted on the door.
Lu Rong was envious. She stood at the door and said, "I'm not going in."
Qiao Wanyue also shook her head, "I'm not going in either."
This is a military house. After Lu Yunzhou passes away, the house will be taken away and will soon have a new owner.
They don't need to go in.
Mu Fan knew they were afraid of being reminded of their loved ones by seeing familiar objects.
