Not long after Commander Dou returned home and sat down, his wife rushed over: "Where did you send your brother? Release him right now!!"
Commander Dou sneered: "You still have the mind to worry about your brother? You should worry about your children! I've already reported what's going on here to your superiors!"
"My lifelong reputation has been ruined by your brother, completely ruined! From now on, your children will all be affected by me, and their futures will be jeopardized! When your children find out, won't they resent you?"
The old woman's face turned deathly pale, and her lips trembled slightly: "How could you report this to higher authorities? Wouldn't it have been better to resolve it directly? How could you tell everyone?!"
"As long as Ruan Shengpengjia's little girl doesn't tell anyone, the matter can be covered up. How could you be so stupid as to expose it to the authorities!"
"Go now and tell them you've made a mistake, and tell everyone in the know to shut up!"
Commander Dou looked his wife up and down in surprise. He had always known that his wife was a bit materialistic, but when did she become like this?
And what did he mean by "shut up"? No wonder his brother-in-law would do such a thing. He sneered, "Looks like I've been blind to your true nature. What exactly have you been doing behind my back?"
The old woman's eyes darted around: "I didn't do anything! Nothing happened!"
"That's good. Now that this has happened, I can still retire early and go to a retirement home. If you had made a mistake, I probably wouldn't have felt comfortable going!"
Commander Dou is someone who has made contributions to the country. He longs to retire and go to a nursing home to play chess with a group of old folks.
The old woman's hands trembled, and Commander Dou's heart sank. He closed his eyes and said, "What exactly did you do? Tell me the truth!"
Commander Dou stood up and roared out the last sentence; his dream was probably about to be shattered!
The old woman stammered, "My brother bought those medicines in your name. I gave him your seal!" These words made Commander Dou slump back into his chair. He was finished!
Yao Tongjia was unaware that the military region's power was about to change hands. The medical room suddenly became busy, and it was previously estimated that about 100 people had received the medicine.
However, some people got hold of this medicine and gave it to others, which eventually spread to nearly 200 people. Each person had to have their pulse taken and acupuncture performed, which made Yao Tongjia's hands tremble as she held chopsticks.
That day, when Dr. Huang saw Yao Tongjia performing acupuncture, he praised her, saying, "Your speed is now even faster than that of veteran Chinese medicine doctors. You've made great progress!"
Yao Tongjia was also very happy. She could feel her own progress. After working hard for half a month, many people's conditions were brought under control.
Except for a few who drank too much and still needed treatment, most people have returned to normal. This time, Yao Tongjia was finally able to leave work and came home to find the dining table full of food.
She was quite surprised. Was this prepared for her because they knew she would be able to leave work on time today? However, she quickly shook her head, as she hadn't even said what time she would leave work.
Turning around, she saw Ruan Shengpeng carrying out dishes: "Is there some happy occasion today?"
Ruan Shengpeng was also very happy to see Yao Tongjia: "You must be exhausted! I went to see you in the medical room earlier, but you were so busy that I didn't get a chance to say hello!"
Yao Tongxu brought out the dishes: "Sis, you can finally leave work on time!"
Xiao Gengwu also came out and saw Yao Tongjia: "Eat quickly, and get some rest early tonight!"
Seeing that her mother hadn't come out yet, Yao Tongjia asked, puzzled, "So many dishes, and they're still not finished cooking? What's the occasion today?"
“Dad got a promotion, and everyone’s been busy lately, so we haven’t eaten together in a long time. We’ve made a feast!” Yao Tongxu said as she set out the bowls and chopsticks.
"Promotion? Promotion to deputy army commander?" Yao Tongjia had a general idea. Ruan Shengpeng was a division commander before, and the next level above a division commander was deputy army commander. He couldn't possibly jump directly to army commander, could he?
Ruan Shengpeng nodded: "He is the deputy army commander, but he will act as the army commander in some of the duties later!"
Yao Tongjia was a little puzzled, but Ruan Shengpeng explained: "Commander Dou's arrival was too sudden this time, and the deputy commander also fell ill. You know that people get old and their physical functions are not good."
Yao Tongjia immediately understood what Ruan Shengpeng didn't say next: Ruan Shengpeng wasn't qualified enough, so the deputy commander was temporarily filling the position until he was qualified enough to take over.
He's now called the deputy army commander, but he's actually exercising the powers of an army commander. But won't that make people jealous? After all, Ruan Shengpeng is definitely young.
When Ruan Shengpeng heard Yao Tongjia's question, he shook his head: "The more than ten years I spent outside were not for fun. I will be made up for the credit for those years in the future."
He was in a hurry to find a wife and children before, so he refused to take a position in Beijing. Now that his superiors have asked him to come back, they feel that he deserves a better position.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, we should promote him again.
Yao Tongxu was a little worried: "Won't anyone be jealous of you?"
"Jealousy? Anyone who's jealous will be sent on undercover missions. Anyone who wants a promotion can go ahead!"
That kind of work is extremely dangerous and involves being separated from family for a long time, so no one would willingly offer to do it.
Yao Yanxin washed her hands and came out. Seeing everyone waiting for her, she scolded, "You're all hungry, you can eat first, why are you waiting for me?"
"Mom has prepared such a big table of dishes, of course we're waiting for you. Sit down quickly and let's toast Dad together, wishing him a successful career and that I can become a playboy who roams the capital!"
Ruan Shengpeng happily picked up his drink and clinked glasses with everyone: "Ah Xu can just talk, but don't actually run rampant in Beijing. Your dad isn't qualified!"
Yao Tongxu took a sip of his drink: "I was just saying it, I would never actually do it!"
Yao Tongjia thought of Commander Dou: "Dad, where did Commander Dou go?"
Ruan Shengpeng sighed: "The leader originally asked him to go to the nursing home, but he refused. Although he didn't buy the medicine this time, it did have his seal on it."
"As the commander of an army, he couldn't even protect his own seal, causing harm to so many soldiers. He felt guilty and went back to his hometown!"
"Fortunately, you discovered it in time and treated the soldiers in the army, so it did not affect the combat effectiveness of the Beijing area. Otherwise, Commander Dou would probably be facing a military court."
In that case, all his children would have to be evacuated. In fact, Commander Dou really has to thank Yao Tongjia for that.
Yao Tongjia thought of the old lady from the Dou family: "I don't ask for their gratitude, I just hope that the old lady won't resent me!"
Yao Tongjia's guess was correct. Commander Dou was also from a peasant background. He gave up everything to return to his hometown, hoping that the leaders would take into account his hard work over the years.
It could ensure that the future of several children would not be affected, but the old lady went from heaven to earth, and she was completely distraught. The countryside was full of mud, and the chicken droppings on the ground made it impossible for her to put her feet down.
She hated Yao Tongjia to the extreme in her heart!
