Battalion Commander Hong's face showed an awkward expression for a moment, and he glanced at Xiao Yichen out of the corner of his eye: How should we respond to that?
The people around also stiffened upon hearing this.
They had all heard about it, after all, they were from the military, and they knew that Xiao Yichen had been put in solitary confinement.
However, this incident was indeed hurtful!
No wife would accept being reported by her husband.
They even claimed to be spies!
There are a lot of spies now, but it's not to the point that you'd even suspect your own spouse.
In particular, this was a misunderstanding.
Everyone turned their attention to Xiao Yichen.
There was a hint of sympathy in their eyes!
This is a difficult matter!
Then he walked away.
After all, it was Xiao Yichen's private matter, and not something that could bring him any face.
We're all men, we all understand.
The smile that Xiao Yichen was already forcing on his face became even thinner.
Seeing the sympathetic looks from her comrades, her long eyelashes drooped.
A silent, self-deprecating laugh.
In this case, I can only say that he deserved it.
Seeing his brother's condition, Battalion Commander Hong had a better idea of what was going on.
"Sister-in-law, yes, it's true, it really is. Let's tell you the truth. We can't lie about this!"
He was indeed wrong, and I criticized him for that.
But to be fair, aside from this one thing, his performance was pretty good.
Back then, weren't you a suspect? Well, Lao Xiao reported it to us, and we have to say, you were.
We admit it.
However, at that time, some people demanded that Lao Xiao divorce you and sever ties with you.
He didn't agree to that!
Moreover, he remained resolute and did not budge even when he was put in solitary confinement.
Later, even when they were almost about to take off their clothes and leave, they still wouldn't budge.
Sister-in-law, we all know how much Lao Xiao loves this greenery.
We've all seen how hard they've worked for honor.
But he's willing to give up all of that in order to be with you.
Just for that reason, give him another chance.
Look at Lao Xiao, he's principled, disciplined, and inflexible in his work.
However, we have to say something fair.
He definitely has feelings for you!
We still have to live our lives, don't we?
I heard from those rascals that you're pregnant.
For the sake of the child, we won't be sad. From now on, we'll keep all of Lao Xiao's allowance and won't give him any pocket money.
He'll be poor to death.
Sister-in-law, listen to your brother's advice: Lao Xiao's heart for you is more precious than gold.
Let's see. If Lao Xiao continues to treat you well, we'll keep him. It'll be good for him to earn money to support your child, right?
Su Ruobai just listened.
When she heard that Xiao Yichen was in solitary confinement because of her marriage.
Her eyelashes, as delicate as small fans, trembled slightly.
Then the eyelashes droop.
It left a shadow on his face.
Xiao Yichen was also a little anxious when he saw his wife like this.
"Honey, I really know I was wrong. I'll change, I promise I'll change."
"We have a baby, right? If we get divorced, the baby won't have a father anymore, will he?"
As for taking the child back, he didn't even dare to think about it!
Su Ruobai gently stroked her belly with her fair fingers.
With his head slightly lowered, no one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing that Su Ruobai didn't speak, Battalion Commander Hong didn't dare to forcefully persuade her.
Raise your wrist and look at your watch.
He looked up at the two of them and said, "It's getting late, time for lunch."
"Sister-in-law, this is your first time here, so please do me the honor of having lunch with me."
Then, without waiting for Su Ruobai to agree or not, he winked at Xiao Yichen and said, "Old Xiao, let's go eat hot pot."
I heard the state-run restaurant has some new dishes they've introduced; a few of my brothers have tried them and they all say they're good.
Xiao Yichen nodded in agreement and urged Su Ruobai to join him: "Wife, it's time to eat, let's eat."
"You haven't been back for so long, let's go to the state-run restaurant and order some of your favorite dishes."
Battalion Commander Hong chimed in, "Yes, sister-in-law, this is our tradition."
Whenever family members come to visit, we treat them to a meal at a state-run restaurant. After all, it's Haishi, and it's not easy for them to come all this way.
Su Ruobai almost burst out laughing when she heard this.
Every time family members came, he would invite them to a state-run restaurant.
It's still a city in Shanghai, after all; it's not easy to come all this way.
Leaving aside how much it costs to go to a state-run restaurant, do they even have those grain coupons and meat coupons?
When did our country's soldiers become so wealthy?
But then I realized that this was just nonsense he made up to get me to agree.
It can be considered a kind intention.
Su Ruobai agreed.
This is a sincere invitation.
"Okay, let's also invite those guys from yesterday; they helped a lot yesterday."
However, let us treat you. I'm from Haishi, and I can't let you treat me when I'm here."
Upon hearing this, Battalion Commander Hong frowned, clearly indicating that he did not want to agree.
We can't let a military wife treat us to a meal!
They've already arrived at the military base.
Captain Hong took a step forward and extended a calloused hand, repeatedly refusing.
"No, sister-in-law, it's like this..."
Xiao Yichen turned to the side and used one hand to press down the hand that Battalion Commander Hong was using to refuse.
He even used his whole body, almost imperceptibly, to shield Battalion Commander Hong behind him: "Okay, wife, it's on us."
"Da Long and the others have really helped us a lot, so it's only right that they treat us."
His tone was sincere and his attitude was serious.
