Ren Rongzheng just sat on the bed in a daze. This incident had a huge impact on her.
The person who came to her mind now was Zhang Lai Fu. From the first time she met him after entering the military compound, to the last time she met him when she went to his house and told him that she wanted a divorce, it felt like it was all just yesterday.
Was this person, who was so vivid in her memory, gone just like that? Had he gone to the battlefield and never come back?
"Madam, please have something to eat. You've been working here for most of the day."
Aunt Jin was very worried when she saw Ren Rongzheng's condition and hurried to persuade her, but now it was very strange. She was so easily hungry in the late stages of pregnancy, but now she didn't feel hungry at all.
"I'm not hungry. Aunt Jin, go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me."
"Why……"
Aunt Jin sighed deeply and then had no choice but to go out, leaving Rong Zheng sitting alone until dark, until Wang Yuxia and Chunlin came back together.
When Wang Yuxia came back and saw that she was still like this, she immediately asked Chunlin to do his homework and she went in herself.
"I heard from Aunt Jin that you've been sitting like this all day and haven't eaten yet. At least eat something. Even if you don't eat, the baby in your belly will have to eat too."
"It's okay. I'm not hungry yet. I can eat later when I feel hungry."
"Alright then." Since Ren Rongzheng was so insistent, Wang Yuxia couldn't force him. She quickly reported her work, "Lin Musen and I have already posted recruitment ads in the surrounding villages. As soon as we posted them, many people called to inquire.
Even if the military wives really can't do it, they will fill in. They are basically housewives who do a lot of needlework at home, so they will get the hang of it quickly."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, big sister."
Just as Ren Rongzheng finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside. Many military wives had arrived. Ren Rongzheng then realized that it was almost time for the news broadcast.
Now that the casualty list has come out, there should be the latest news about the situation in the war zone, so the military wives are all concerned and rush over to read the news.
After the news started, the first thing that was broadcast was the current war with Country B.
[Through the continuous efforts of our war correspondents, we have learned the current situation in the war zone. The fighting between the two sides is fierce and there are casualties on both sides.
Some experts say this war could last several months, or even longer. We ask our people not to panic and to firmly believe that the final victory will belong to us.
After that, the screen played the video footage taken by the war correspondents in the war zone, but there was no scene like the river of blood and corpses everywhere in Ren Rongzheng's dream.
But it was really the kind of continuous gunfire and hail of bullets shown in TV dramas. Who could feel at ease after seeing this situation?
After watching the news, the military wives were all in despair.
"It's going to take months? How can our men possibly come back if it takes that long? The casualty list is submitted every day, and who knows when..."
She didn't dare to say anything else after that as she was already choking with sobs. The other military wives also joined in crying, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn.
"Everyone, please stop crying. Crying is useless. We can't do anything but wait patiently. Everyone must be strong. We can't collapse before our men return!"
So Ren Rongzheng couldn't convince herself, but she had to encourage everyone in this way, which was also to encourage herself.
"Even if everyone cries to death here, it won't bring our men back safely. Stay calm and wait patiently for news. Believe that we will win, and believe that our men will return safely. If not... we must be strong. After all, life must go on. We have to look forward no matter what, right?"
After Ren Rongzheng finished speaking, she tried hard to hold back her tears. Before, the military wives would respond to her with great emotions, but now there was only crying.
"Shall we go see Sister Jiang and the others?"
After crying for a while, one of the military wives suggested it, and they went. In fact, Ren Rongzheng didn't want to go, not because of the previous grudge with Jiang Shufen, but because she couldn't bear to see that kind of scene.
But all the other military wives had gone, and she had followed them. Now a psychological counselor has come to Jiang Shufen's home, but it is of no use. The pain of losing a loved one cannot be relieved by a few words of comfort.
At this time, Zhang Guoqiang had also returned from school. The mother and son were hugging each other and crying bitterly, which made everyone else shed tears as well.
"Lao Zhang, if you leave like this, how are we, an orphan and a widow, going to survive?"
“Dad…Dad!”
Especially Zhang Guoqiang's crying. It was really painful to see such a young child losing his father. Ren Rongzheng quickly touched his belly and walked out.
After coming out, I saw Jiang's mother standing outside. Jiang's mother had been suffering a lot these past few days, and it was obvious that she had aged many years.
"I heard you have a TV at home. Can I come over to your house and listen to the news?"
After Jiang's mother finished speaking, she was afraid that Ren Rongzheng would disagree, so she quickly added: "It was all my fault for what happened before. I was a bastard. I apologize to you, and you just let me..."
"You can go if you want."
Ren Rongzheng said nothing more and walked out. Mother Jiang was quite touched when she heard this and quickly said behind her, "Thank you."
Now the war is what everyone is most concerned about, and every citizen is worried that the enemy will come here.
Cui Qinghe has naturally been paying attention to the war situation, and of course his business has also been greatly affected.
"Boss Cui, why don't we go back to the south? The south is farther from the island and relatively safer. The market here isn't doing well right now, so we might as well give up as soon as possible."
His secretary suggested this to him, and Cui Qinghe immediately replied, "Don't believe everything you hear. It's normal for business to be affected during wartime. There's no need to worry too much."
After Cui Qinghe said this, his secretary didn't say anything.
"Have Yi Shi Zhengrong's goods been delivered this month?"
"No, logically speaking, we should pay liquidated damages. But even if we deliver the goods, we probably won't be able to sell them. Otherwise, we might as well just return them while she can't deliver them."
"I see. Let me think about it."
Cui Qinghe certainly knew that Ren Rongzheng’s factory was full of military wives, and they certainly had no mood to work now.
Just as he was thinking about it, his cell phone rang. It was his family in the south calling. He couldn't help but answer the call. In fact, he knew what his parents wanted to talk to him about.
