Aunt Qiao looked at Wang Jingyi; she recognized who she was.
Political Commissar's Wife!
I heard he was mentally challenged and adopted a woman who was married off and was of no use to his family as his daughter.
I haven't had a chance to meet the political commissar's wife since I arrived a few days ago, but now I finally have the opportunity.
Since this woman likes her daughter so much, if we let her choose one of our own "money-losing" children to take home and raise, I wonder if she would agree?
Whether it works out or not, let's test the waters first.
Aunt Qiao forced a fake smile and said insincerely, "Oh my, you must be the political commissar's wife? You look so young! I heard you have twin sons, what a blessing! You even recently adopted a goddaughter. Some people long for daughters but can't have any, so they have to adopt from other people. In my opinion, it's better to raise a child from a young age than to adopt one already. That way, you can raise them with a close and loving relationship. Unlike our family, we have four girls, and not a single boy."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jingyi subtly glanced at the military wives standing to the side.
Her decision to adopt Su Yue as her daughter wasn't something she didn't want people to gossip about, but telling Aunt Qiao about it at this crucial juncture carried a deeper meaning.
During the days that Aunt Qiao has been here, she has almost always been arguing with Pan Daniu. She has rarely been seen interacting with other military wives, so it is likely that one of these military wives has leaked the information to her.
When Wang Jingyi's gaze locked onto one of the military wives, the wife lowered her head guiltily, not daring to meet her eyes.
Everyone present understood the unspoken meaning behind Aunt Qiao's words—she just wanted Wang Jingyi to take a child home and raise it, didn't she?
That's incredibly shameless.
Wang Jingyi said coldly, "Look at what you're saying. Does Battalion Commander Qiao not even have enough to support his own child? Should I report your family's situation to the organization, especially Battalion Commander Qiao's?"
This old lady is really bold; she actually came up with the idea of "selling" children to her.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Qiao's face stiffened, and she hurriedly waved her hands, saying, "No need, no need! I have a lot of things to do at home, I'll go back first!"
If this is reported to the organization, how will her son stay in the army?
Her son had warned her long ago that she could cause trouble for Pan Danu, but she must not involve the organization, or she would have to pack her bags and leave.
Pan Daniu watched her mother-in-law flee in a panic, a cold smile flashing in her eyes.
They're making a huge fuss about trying to smear her, as if they want everyone to know and hear it.
Upon hearing that it would affect Qiao Honghai's future, he ran faster than a rabbit.
The mother and son thought she should agree to a divorce easily, but they shouldn't even consider it.
She can no longer have children, and the Qiao family should bear at least half the responsibility.
She had tried to talk to them properly. She said that if she wanted a divorce, Qiao Honghai would have to give her half of his monthly salary. She was infertile and no one would want her if she wanted to remarry.
But they not only refused, they also spoke ill of her, saying that she had delayed Qiao Honghai for nearly ten years, otherwise the Qiao family would have had a grandson long ago, and they were unwilling to give her a single penny.
Since they won't give her a way out, then don't blame her for being ruthless. At worst, she'll fight to the death and make sure they're childless!
Pan Daniu regained her senses, turned to look at Wang Jingyi, and said sincerely, "Thank you for helping me lift Daya up."
Two years ago, she had a fight with Wang Jingyi, but she didn't expect that the other party would not hold a grudge at all.
Wang Jingyi said gently, "You should love your own daughter. How can the children grow up happily if you two are always arguing?"
Pan Daniu held Daya's little hand tightly and said with a firm look in her eyes, "I know what I'm doing. All of this will be over soon."
She had discovered that Qiao Honghai was secretly communicating with people from the cultural troupe, and that woman's hometown was in the village next to theirs.
When she first came to join the army with her children, Qiao Honghai didn't have time to pick her up. On the way, he ran into Liu Yuzhen, who was returning from visiting relatives.
Liu Yuzhen helped her a lot along the way, and when she learned that they were going to the same unit, she warmly invited Liu Yuzhen to visit her home in the future.
