As they spoke, the group bowed to Yang Yufen and her companion.
"No, no, no, it's his honor. I sent him to the army hoping for this day. He just went missing and there's no definite news, so he's still alive. It's just that my daughter-in-law is wronged. If she's not pregnant yet, the army can help them get a divorce so they can each live their own lives."
Yang Yufen's words struck, and the hearts of several leaders trembled. This was getting worse!
The group exchanged glances.
Political Commissar Zhao stepped forward: "Aunt Yang is a person of high ideals, and Comrade Qin Nian is also one of our good revolutionary comrades. Comrade Shen Xianjun is missing, and we will do our best to find him and never give up on any of our good comrades."
"Rest assured, until Comrade Shen Xianjun is found, his allowance will continue to be paid as usual. Aunt Yang and Comrade Qin Nian must take good care of their health; health is the most important thing."
Yang Yufen thought that her allowance would stop after her son went missing, but she didn't expect it to continue. However, since he had been missing for two years, she was afraid that the allowance would not continue indefinitely, and she would have to find something to do.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your help, military and country. My daughter-in-law is pregnant and can't have any major emotional fluctuations. I'll take her back with me and stay here to take care of her until the baby is born and can go to school."
Upon hearing this, the leaders felt guilty for betraying the trust the masses had placed in them, but they also felt that this was a good thing. If Qin Nian encountered any difficulties, they could help take care of her. They would then talk to the leaders of the research institute about taking extra care of Comrade Qin Nian.
“I had the military vehicle take Aunt Yang and Comrade Qin back to the research institute.”
"No need, no need, we came by tricycle, we can get back by ourselves."
The leaders were still worried, so they sent someone to accompany the person back to the research institute and then return to report.
"No wonder Comrade Shen Xianjun has been able to make meritorious contributions repeatedly. How could a child raised by such a mother be bad? How sensible she is! I heard that she even participated in the militia and was the Iron Lady of the commune."
The leaders sighed.
Qin Nian didn't dare to speak the whole way home. She was supposed to take her mother-in-law shopping for clothes today, but they didn't buy a single piece. She also learned this news. She didn't know how to comfort her mother-in-law.
"Don't worry, Niannian. Even if Xianjun is gone, Mom can still take good care of you. Just focus on your pregnancy and work if you want. Make sure to keep a happy mood, so that it will be good for you and the baby."
Before Qin Nian could figure out how to comfort her mother-in-law, she received comfort and a hug from her mother-in-law. The gentle, feather-like comforting touches on her back made Qin Nian's tears fall uncontrollably.
"Mom, I know, don't worry. I have a salary. As long as I keep working at the research institute, we can stay in this courtyard for as long as we want. Mom, we'll stay here from now on."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law comforted each other.
Dean Hu and Professor Wen were very worried when they received the news.
They were the ones who arranged this marriage, and now that they've just gotten married, the man has disappeared. They say he's missing, but even the military can't find him, so the chances of him being alive are slim. What are we going to do?
What's even more terrifying is that Qin Nian happens to find out she's pregnant at this time. Qin Nian's husband was raised by a widow and is her only son. He definitely wouldn't want Qin Nian to divorce her husband and not want the child.
So Qin Nian was thus tied to the Shen family.
Moreover, the two of them lived through that era. To put it more negatively, Qin Nian's mother-in-law might blame Qin Nian for her son's death. No matter how good things were before, people's hearts are fickle.
Dean Hu, without even taking a break, led his wife towards Qin Nian's courtyard.
Upon reaching the door, the two hesitated to go in. They listened for a moment but heard no unusual sounds, which only fueled their growing fear.
Could something have already happened?
"Nian Nian! Nian Nian!" Professor Wen called out twice.
Upon hearing the noise, Yang Yufen responded first, telling Qin Nian to wait inside while she went out to open the door.
