The day after being called in for a talk by his supervisor, Xie Songqing stopped going to work.
Tian Wenxiu looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why didn't you go to the army today?"
Xie Songqing leisurely held his teacup, took a leisurely sip of tea, and said calmly, "I'm not going."
He could have retired smoothly in a few years.
However, when the leader spoke with him yesterday, he realized that there was no need to wait those few more years.
He didn't blame Fu Shen in his heart. After all, he had such a family to rely on, and being forced to step down early was something that was bound to happen sooner or later.
Tian Wenxiu looked puzzled. "Why didn't you go?"
Xie Songqing glanced at her sideways, "Didn't you already expect this day to come? Why are you asking me why?"
Just as Tian Wenxiu was about to say "I don't know," she suddenly seemed to remember something important, abruptly put down the rag she was wiping, and said excitedly.
“I’m going to go and ask them how long they’re going to keep this up! My two younger brothers are in prison, constantly getting minor injuries. I’ve already been very lenient by not confronting them, and now they’re even affecting your work.”
With that, she hurriedly turned and prepared to leave.
Xie Songqing slammed the teacup down on the table with a loud "bang," startling Tian Wenxiu so much that she froze.
Xie Songqing said sternly, "What right do you have to go to them? Yesterday, the commander told me that your father's behavior constitutes human trafficking! They haven't even started thinking about how to deal with your father yet, and if you go and cause trouble, you might send your father to jail too. Let's see what you do then!"
When Tian Wenxiu heard that her father was a human trafficker, her face turned pale instantly, her heart tightened, and she said in a trembling voice.
“How could my dad be a human trafficker? He didn’t sell anyone.”
In her view, only selling a child to someone else constitutes human trafficking. Her father merely stole and abandoned the child; how could he be considered a human trafficker?
After all, it's no small matter for someone to be inexplicably accused of being a human trafficker.
Xie Songqing was so angered by Tian Wenxiu's remarks that he sneered and angrily questioned, "What's the difference? Huh, I'm asking you, what's the difference?"
Then, his tone softened slightly, "You'd better not do anything now, just quietly and obediently wait for my discharge notice to come down, and then we'll leave this place together. Didn't you see that your son and daughter-in-law aren't even bringing their grandson back on their leave? Haven't you thought even a little bit about why they don't want to come back?"
Tian Wenxiu was well aware of why her son and his family didn't want to bring their grandson back during their holidays, but knowing it didn't stop her from confronting them; she simply couldn't swallow her anger.
She had lived in this military unit since she got married, for decades, and enjoyed her time there for just as long.
But now she's been made so miserable by these two young people, who are even related to Tian Huanyan. Only she knows the resentment she feels.
It was Sunday, and Su Yue was cutting a watermelon for Ping An inside the house when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
She told Ping An to wait a moment, then got up and went out to open the door.
Seeing Tian Wenxiu standing outside the door, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Yue's eyes.
After all, the fact that they had a grudge against the Tian family was already common knowledge in the army.
Now that Tian Wenxiu has come knocking after so long, it seems he has reached his limit.
This was the first time Tian Wenxiu had seen Su Yue up close, and she found that Su Yue was a pretty girl.
However, when she thought of how ruthless the other side was in spreading rumors about her in the army, Tian Wenxiu's eyes turned cold.
She wasn't stupid; she knew perfectly well that one of the couple was specifically targeting her two younger brothers, and the other was specifically targeting her, all to make her lose face in the army.
Seeing that Tian Wenxiu was just staring at her with hostile eyes and didn't say anything for a long time, Su Yue was too lazy to continue the confrontation and prepared to close the door.
Seeing this, Tian Wenxiu hurriedly said, "Wait, I have something to tell you."
Su Yue's lips curled slightly, and she coldly replied, "Speak."
She wanted to hear what the other person had to say to her.
Tian Wenxiu paused for a moment, glanced around warily, and then said, "Let's not go inside to talk."
