Su Yue nodded. "I also think the military will find them sooner or later. Her behavior is abandonment, or to put it more bluntly, she's a human trafficker who doesn't take money."
Fu Shen smiled gently, but did not reply. He simply lowered his head and continued washing the dishes.
"He's just a human trafficker who doesn't charge money," Su Yue told Wang Jingyi, who then told Yang Guohua, who then spoke with Qiao Honghai.
The couple is going through a divorce, and the mother-in-law is looking everywhere for someone to send her granddaughter away.
If this behavior gets out, the military's prestige will be lost.
The military can't interfere with how Qiao Honghai's mother gives her granddaughter away to be raised by others in the village, but if it were done within the military, it would be a big problem.
After washing the dishes, Fu Shen poured bathwater for Su Yue and carried it to the bathroom.
Before going to sleep, Su Yue turned to look at Fu Shen beside her and asked softly, "Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"
She wasn't worried that Fu Shen would become obsessed with his son like Qiao Honghai; she just wanted to hear it.
Fu Shen gazed tenderly into Su Yue's eyes, "I love both sons and daughters, but I hope our first child will be a son."
Su Yue frowned. "Why?"
"Don't frown."
Fu Shen raised his hand and stroked Su Yue's furrowed brows. "The first one is our son. He can help me with many things. He can protect his mother when I'm not home. And if we have a daughter in the future, he can protect her too."
Su Yue was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's really hard being our son. He has to protect his mother and his sister as well."
Fu Shen pondered for a moment and nodded, "Being our son is indeed a bit tough, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all, I'm a soldier, and I can't be home often, so we have to rely on him."
Su Yue reached out and gently touched her belly, which was not yet showing, her tone soft and affectionate.
"You can't say that. You'll scare him. I'm strong enough to protect myself. He just needs to grow up safely and healthily."
Fu Shen did not refute, but a meaningful smile flashed in his eyes. In any case, whether the child is a boy or a girl, he will train him.
The next day, Fu Shen went to work as usual, while Su Yue sat at her desk, practicing calligraphy diligently as always. After a while, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
She put down her pen, got up and opened the door, and saw that it was guard Zhao Jian.
She had previously sent a letter to Tang Yunyun, and he had helped her write the address code on the cover. They had also chatted for a few minutes, so she knew his name.
Zhao Jian spoke a little faster: "Comrade Su, your village's Party Secretary, Tang Jianguo, called you. He said he would call back in ten minutes and asked you to answer it. He sounded a little anxious."
Su Yue's expression tightened, and she quickly nodded, "I'll go right now."
She was puzzled, wondering why Uncle Tang had suddenly called.
As soon as Su Yue arrived at the guard room, Tang Jianguo called.
She answered the phone, "Uncle Tang, what can I do for you?"
On the phone, Tang Jianguo's voice was anxious: "Su Yue, is Su Xiaomei with you? She said she was going to find Jiang Huaidong and asked me for a letter of introduction. Before she left, she told Liu Meili that she would call back when she got to the army. It's been a few days and she hasn't called back yet, so I'm asking you if she has arrived at the army."
Su Yue looked surprised. "I didn't see her. Her train ticket is for what date. It only takes two days to get from home to Bincheng."
"What date is Su Xiaomei's train ticket?" Tang Jianguo was probably asking Liu Meili on the phone.
Su Yue heard Liu Meili raise her voice and answer, "12:05 a.m. on the 13th."
Tang Jianguo repeated those words to Su Yue verbatim.
Su Yue frowned. "Today is the 21st. Su Xiaomei should have arrived long ago. She hasn't arrived yet. Could something have happened?"
Liu Meili suddenly shouted on the other end of the phone, "Su Yue, don't talk nonsense! How could my Xiaomei be in trouble?"
Su Yue silently moved the phone receiver away from her ear, speechless.
