Within the elite regiment, everyone knew the son the old woman mentioned—the one who saved Company Commander Xu's life in a critical moment. To repay this debt, Company Commander Xu not only raised his comrade's son but was also forced to marry his comrade's sister, abandoning the woman he had loved for many years. His life afterwards became a complete mess. But now, what happened to this old woman?
She died because she sent her comrade's wife to another man's bed, and that woman died. In the end, her comrade died because of his own wife?
Wasn't he killed to save Company Commander Xu?
There were other people around at the time, and they all saw that it was that comrade who stepped forward to shield Company Commander Xu from a fatal bullet!
All three of them were furious. If there really was something going on, then... how pitiful was Company Commander Xu?
The most hateful thing is this old woman. It seems that all of Xu Lianchang's misfortunes originated from this heartless old woman!
If it weren't for her, how could Company Commander Xu be the way he is now?
He's probably already happily married to the woman he loves, and he should have children by now, at least a bit older than the regimental commander's son!
"You mean, your son's death on the battlefield was largely due to your daughter-in-law's affair?"
Suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, the man asked through gritted teeth!
The old lady nodded slightly: "Yes, because the regulations weren't so strict back then, and we could communicate, so I wrote a letter to my son about it!"
"Your son has never written to you, so where did you get his contact information?" Although the regulations were relatively lax at the time, every soldier had to go through layers of review before writing home. Each soldier had a different code name and used a different address. Moreover, the details had already been investigated.
The old lady's son was another capable assistant under the regimental commander. Their group was always at the forefront of the battlefield and was almost never allowed to contact outsiders unless something major happened!
Later investigation revealed that the old lady's son had never written a letter to his family!
The old woman stammered, her expression somewhat flustered: "I...we...we got the contact information from a man! He gave me money to send my daughter-in-law to someone else's bed. Even that letter was written by him, and he was the one who mailed it!"
"You're so obedient? She's still your daughter-in-law, the mother of your grandson, and you'd send her to another man's bed for money?"
The old woman shook her head again: "No, that's not how a hero should act. I didn't want to either. She's my daughter-in-law, but... but if I didn't do that, that person would tell the police what I did back then, and I had no choice! Besides, there was a lot of money involved, so in the end..."
"So you're going to sell your daughter-in-law?"
Damn, this person isn't just utterly depraved, he's worse than a beast! He's even defiling the very word "beast"!
"I...I was forced into it too, but in the end I still gave her a proper burial!"
What kind of twisted logic is that?
If you kill someone, can you atone for your crime by burying them somewhere? Who made that decision?
Where was the person buried?
"That patch of land in my backyard!"
This is because they couldn't let anyone know, so they were buried at home, and the person who buried them ran away. No one would suspect anything!
