"Tingting, you don't have to be strong, but just think about it, you still have me. I will bear it with you. Once they know, they will know. Let's leave here and never appear in front of them again. Even if I retire from the army, I will take you away from here."
"Build an army."
"I can give up being a soldier, but I can't live without you."
He checked her wrist again. Fortunately, she had arrived in time and the wound she had cut was not deep.
He picked her up and said, "Tingting, I'll take you to the hospital."
"No, I don't want to go to the hospital. I don't want to see those people." She resisted instinctively.
"But your injury."
Zhang Jianjun didn't want her to suffer any more injuries, but he couldn't bear to watch her wounds bleed to death.
Just when he was looking for something to bandage Jiang Ting, Xu Nuannuan arrived.
Xu Nuannuan was immediately frightened when she saw the mess in the room, Jiang Ting's bruised little face, and bleeding wrist.
"What's going on? What happened to Tingting? Why did she cut her wrists?"
She hurried over to check Jiang Ting's wound and stopped the bleeding.
She didn't bring a shoulder bag when she came here, and she couldn't take anything from the space, so she asked Zhang Jianjun to find a clean cloth to bandage Jiang Ting's wound.
Later, she asked Zhang Jianjun to carry her to the bed to rest, and they all sat by the bed to watch over her.
Her hands were a little cold, so Xu Nuannuan held them in hers to warm her.
"What's going on?" she asked Zhang Jianjun.
Jiang Ting is not so scared now that she has Zhang Jianjun and Xu Nuannuan guarding her.
It was also because she had just been to the gates of hell and saw Zhang Jianjun grieving for her. She suddenly felt that her death was so not worth it. She was not even afraid of death, so why should she be afraid of gossip?
Zhang Jianjun found it difficult to talk about that matter, "Nuannuan, don't ask now."
"I won't ask anymore."
Jiang Ting told her, "Sister-in-law, remember what I told you before? That Hu Xingbang... He actually told it out loud, and everyone here knows about it."
"Ah! It's because of this."
The punishment we gave Hu Xingbang last time was too lenient. We should have pulled out his tongue and see how he could tell the story.
"Sister-in-law, I admit that I was too fragile. When I heard others talk about this, I prepared myself mentally.
This isn't my fault. I can't let myself be wronged just because someone else is being mean. I told myself I can ignore the rumors. As long as Jianjun doesn't despise me, why should I care about what those insignificant people think of me?
"Tingting, don't think like this anymore. You will always be the most important person in my heart," said Zhang Jianjun.
Jiang Ting nodded. "I'm sorry, Jianjun, for making you worry about me."
"Tingting, I just want you to be happy."
Jiang Ting continued to tell Xu Nuannuan, "I originally thought I could handle it. But when I went out, I realized I overestimated myself. I looked at those people talking, and I thought they were all talking about me, discussing me, belittling me, and despising me. I even felt like I was standing naked in front of them. I'm really too fragile. I'm back home, and I can't forget their accusations against me, nor can I forget that love affair. I guess the only way to get rid of all this is if I die."
"Ah~." Xu Nuannuan sighed heavily, "Everyone has emotions sometimes. Sometimes we try to persuade others, but when we encounter such emotions, we can't persuade ourselves.
We all understand that you can't bear it when you encounter something like this. But Tingting, your sister-in-law still blames you. You just want to end your life like this. Have you ever thought about us? What should we do if anything happens to you?
"Sister-in-law, I was too fragile. I couldn't persuade myself. At that time, I just wanted to be free."
"Oh, silly girl. After going through the gates of hell, are you still afraid of a few people in the world of the living?"
"I." Jiang Ting was speechless. "Sister-in-law, I don't know. When I was surrounded by rumors, I saw those people looking at me strangely, and I couldn't control myself."
"Then let's not live here anymore. I just bought a courtyard house in Beijing. Let's live there. If we don't see the people here, we won't miss them anymore."
"Oh, sister-in-law, I'll go."
Jiang Ting agreed immediately, and Zhang Jianjun also expressed his support, saying that as long as Jiang Ting was happy, anything was fine.
But Jiang Ting thought about it and realized that even if she left the military region, Zhang Jianjun would still be here.
He still has to endure rumors and gossip.
She left, leaving him alone to bear the slander caused by her.
She took a deep breath and changed her mind.
"Sister-in-law, I, I don't want to leave again."
"Why?"
Xu Nuannuan and Zhang Jianjun asked her together.
"Because I found that I couldn't get out of the shadow of that thing, it was because I was running away. The more I ran away, the more afraid I became, and the more afraid I became, the more cowardly and timid I became.
Even if I get through this today, I still won't be able to handle anything else in the future. I want to face them head-on, and also face that painful past head-on. I must defeat it, not let it defeat me.
"Hey, sister-in-law will face it with you. Anyway, looks can't kill. We don't care what they think of us, as long as they don't say anything that will seriously hurt us.
It's like Hu Xingbang is about to leave here, and no one will mention this matter again. Those people will stop talking about it after a while, and it will be over soon."
"That beast should be dead," Zhang Jianjun said. "He went berserk in the solitary confinement room and might have killed himself."
"That's even better. The bad guys got punished in the end. God still has eyes."
Jiang Ting was greatly relieved when she heard the news.
It's not that she likes to gloat over other people's misfortunes, but who wouldn't be happy to hear that their enemies are in trouble?
Hu Xingbang was the person who hurt her the most. From now on, he could never use this thing to hurt her or the people around her.
Jiang Ting cheered herself up and asked Xu Nuannuan and Zhang Jianjun to go out for a walk with her.
Originally, the two men wanted her to rest for a while, but after her repeated insistence, they agreed.
It was almost dusk, and there were still a few old ladies who didn't have to cook sitting together chatting, but no officers had come back from get off work at the barracks.
Jiang Ting glanced at the old ladies, who didn't seem as scared as before. Seeing Zhang Jianjun and Xu Nuannuan smiling at her, her heart warmed even more.
She felt very calm and stopped having wild thoughts. No matter what the old ladies said, it had no effect on her at all.
She is still herself, why bother with unnecessary looks and judgments from others?
Zhang Jianjun and Xu Nuannuan felt a little relieved when they saw that she was in normal mood.
"Tingting, I'll come and accompany you tomorrow."
"Damn it, sister-in-law." Jiang Ting suddenly felt a little guilty: "I said I would take care of you for my brother, but in the end I asked you to take care of me."
Xu Nuannuan smiled and said, "So you have to be stronger. Your sister-in-law is still waiting for you to take care of her. And your nephews and nieces, don't forget what you promised me. You have to help me take care of the children."
"Sister-in-law, I will." Jiang Ting also laughed.
At this moment, Zhang Jianjun suddenly remembered Guan Xingyao and apologized to Xu Nuannuan, "Nuannuan, I might have hurt Xingyao again this time. Let's go see him."
"Hey, let's go find him."
