The two soldiers looked at Qiao Honghai, who was now acting like a shrew, his former dignified battalion commander image completely gone.
I don't know what to say for a moment?
After he finished venting, Aunt Qiao continued to curse Pan Daniu at them.
Qiao Honghai was still agreeing with him.
Another soldier, unable to bear it any longer, said in a cold tone, "Battalion Commander Qiao, you think you've done nothing wrong. But when the time comes to hold you accountable, you won't be any better off."
Qiao Honghai's already pale face instantly stiffened. He seemed to remember something, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
He didn't wake up until midnight, and the first thing he said urgently to Aunt Qiao was, "Go back and burn the letter that Yuzhen wrote to him."
Aunt Qiao looked puzzled: "Why burn it?"
The doctor said her son could no longer have children, and he divorced Pan Daniu. She was even planning to use letters to threaten Liu Yuzhen into marrying into the family.
Qiao Honghai was both anxious and angry: "If I don't burn it, I'll just wait for the army to find that letter and punish me."
Aunt Qiao was still confused: "Why is the army punishing you? You and Yuzhen were just writing letters, which doesn't pose a big threat to you. If we're talking about a bigger problem, it's a female comrade like Yuzhen."
She had seen letters written by female educated youth to the village chief's son. When those letters were discovered, the village chief's son got away scot-free, but the female educated youth were different.
The village chief's son did not agree to the two being together. The female educated youth was bullied by the local ruffians because she was too old to find a wife. She didn't dare to say a word and had no choice but to beg her family to take her back to the city.
Qiao Honghai was really infuriated by Aunt Qiao's way of thinking. "Why do you think the army is punishing me? I had an extramarital affair, why are you telling me why the army is punishing me?"
Having extramarital affairs would result in having one's head shaved in a humiliating way and being sent to a farm for reform through labor. Since her son was a soldier, this absolutely could not be discovered. Aunt Qiao stopped talking and just nodded silently, promising to go back tomorrow to find the letter and burn it.
After a while, she muttered somewhat resentfully, "Why didn't you find a place to burn it after looking at it? You brought it home instead."
Qiao Honghai was too embarrassed to admit that he was overjoyed to see Liu Yuzhen agree to be with him. While Pan Daniu was out of the room and he was helping Daya and the others take a bath, he secretly read the contents of the letter. How could he bear to burn it?
The soldier's words reminded him of the letter, which is why he fainted from fright.
He urged impatiently, "Don't say so much. Remember to burn the letter when you get back tomorrow. The letter is in the pocket of the military overcoat hanging by the window in my room. If you don't burn the letter, I'm doomed."
Thinking about these things, Aunt Qiao had long forgotten about hearing the words "money-losing goods" and hurriedly walked towards the dock with her head down.
Seeing that Aunt Qiao had walked away, Su Yue said softly, "Come out, she's gone."
Daya breathed a sigh of relief, then solemnly reprimanded Siya: "Siya, from now on we won't have a milk or a father, only a mother."
Two-year-old Si Ya, innocent and unaware, was frightened by Daya's stern tone and burst into tears.
Daya's tone remained unyielding as she continued, "Didn't you see how she bullied us and Mother at home?"
Er Ya quickly came to Siya's rescue: "Siya understands."
Da Ya looked at Su Yue and Wang Jingyi again, and said firmly, "She is rushing back now, definitely to find the letter. We need to deliver the letter to the police station as soon as possible."
Even a seven-year-old girl understands this principle, so Su Yue and Wang Jingyi naturally understand it as well.
Without saying much, they took the children to the bus station to catch their bus.
Upon arriving in the county town, one tricycle was not enough to accommodate everyone, so they hailed two and headed straight to the police station.
When the police officers at the local station heard that they wanted to see Pan Danu, they promptly refused.
Su Yue: "Pan Daniu didn't commit a crime that will send her to the guillotine tomorrow. She only slandered someone, and that person is not dead. Why won't we see her?"
