The courtyard was quiet.
Song Nanting looked at Tian Xiao'e who was crying bitterly, and a thousand alpaca horses were galloping through her heart.
They were just talking casually, and this person came to them?
Obviously not, this is Xu Hongbo’s direct leader who came to see him.
Song Nanting said, "Mrs. Tian, what are you doing? My husband doesn't care about the private affairs of his subordinates. For things like this, even if you want to find your direct leader, you should find the regiment political commissar. The regiment commander doesn't care about this."
Tian Xiao'e stopped crying when she heard this. "Isn't Captain Lu also a leader? How can he not control his own soldiers? As a captain, are you going to just watch your subordinates bully others?"
Thinking of her grievances, Tian Xiao'e started crying again, feeling extremely aggrieved. They had been dating for several months and she had given her heart to him, but he said such cruel words to her just because of such a small matter. What was the value of all her efforts over the past few months?
Tian Xiao'e simply sat there and said, "Captain Lu, if you don't care about what happened today, then I won't leave."
Good man, this is a false accusation.
Song Nanting said to Auntie Song, "Auntie, please help call the people from the Political Department and the Family Committee and tell them the situation. If they come to deal with it, please get rid of them immediately. If they don't come, don't blame me for being rude. Even though I'm pregnant, it's still easy for me to beat someone up."
Tian Xiao'e looked up in astonishment, "You, you dare to hit me."
"You are just bullying us, and we are not allowed to fight back. Just because my man is the head of the regiment, we have to suffer this loss in silence? Bah, wishful thinking." Song Nanting was not an officer, so she didn't have to worry about so many things. She stood there with her hands on her waist and spoke loudly, "I tell you, any man who wants to bully me, Song Nanting, has not even been born in this life. I think you have forgotten how your mother-in-law was beaten."
Tian Xiao'e glared, "If you bully me, I will sue you."
Song Nanting laughed. "Then you better hurry up. If you go and sue me, I can save myself some trouble. It will be a good opportunity for the higher-ups to see how the widows of martyrs in our unit blackmail people and damage the reputation of our officers."
While they were talking, Aunt Song had already run out.
Lu Jianan was making a fire. Seeing that the time was almost up, he pulled out two sticks of firewood and put them out. He turned his head and glanced at Tian Xiaoe and said, "I don't care about this. I won't care even if you stay here today."
There was no expression on his face, and no emotion could be heard in his words.
Others couldn't see it, but Song Nanting knew that the man was angry.
Hua Yingyue also advised, "Hurry up and do what you need to do. You can solve the problem between you and Captain Xu however you want. There's no need to say that you are arranged to marry someone just because you are his direct superior."
Tian Xiao'e looked at this family and felt a little worried.
She knew that the Lu family was not easy to mess with. But she thought that was in the past, when her husband and mother-in-law were still there, and her mother-in-law was hated, so people ignored their family. Now her husband has died, her mother-in-law is gone, and she is so pitiful to be alone with four children, so she thought that maybe they could take care of this matter out of pity for her?
People from the Political Department and the Family Committee said that this matter could not be forced, but she felt wronged and had to find someone to help her reason.
But what is the Lu family’s attitude now?
Is there no one to take care of her?
Thinking about the several disobedient children at home, Tian Xiao'e was suddenly filled with grief and burst into tears.
Song Nanting was getting angry. Hua Yingyue pulled her aside and said, "Don't be impulsive. Wait for the people from the Political Affairs Department to come and see what they say."
People in the Parent-Teacher Association Committee are used to playing the peacemaker and not offending either side, but people in the Political Department are different. Now that things have gotten this bad and innocent people have been implicated, they have to intervene no matter what.
Suddenly, there were noisy footsteps outside, and the director of the political department came over with a few people. When he saw Tian Xiao'e sitting in the yard crying loudly, Director Zheng of the Political Department felt his head was about to explode.
"Comrade Tian Xiao'e, what are you doing?" Director Zheng had been able to persuade her kindly before, but now he could only speak harshly, "Comrade Tian Xiao'e, you can't just do this because you are pitiful, can you? If you continue like this, I will have to repatriate you to your hometown according to the military safety regulations."
Tian Xiao'e looked up in astonishment, "Director Zheng..."
Director Zheng also criticized her at noon, but she didn't take it seriously. He had always advised her in a kind way most of the time, so why did he say such harsh words now?
Director Zheng said sternly, "Comrade Tian Xiao'e, count for yourself how many troubles your family has caused in the past few years. Time and again, no matter whether it is the Family Committee or the Political Department, no one has investigated. Now that Captain Zhao's body is still warm, you, a widow, not only do not know how to restrain yourself, but also cause trouble every day. Captain Zhao has made great contributions to the country and is a national hero. Aren't you smearing him with your actions?"
He spoke seriously, and Tian Xiao'e's head felt like it was buzzing.
Although she had lived in the military family compound for more than ten years, she always felt that the national cause was still far away from her. Suddenly one day someone mentioned her man's contribution to the country, and the shock to Tian Xiao'e's heart was different.
But she still didn't understand. Aren't men fighting outside for their wives and children? Now that her wife and children were in trouble, why didn't the army help her?
It's not easy for a woman like her to raise four children. Is it wrong for her to want to find someone to help raise the children?
Why did the troops not only not help, but instead say such things?
Tian Xiao'e also became angry and stood up to question loudly.
Director Zheng was speechless. "Didn't the army solve the difficulties your family faced? Because your family was in difficulty, the army arranged a job for you. Other military dependents' salaries were more than 20 yuan, but you only made more than 30 yuan. No one would make it difficult for you to ask for leave, right? Your children must have eaten a lot of other people's meals in the compound, right? It was okay to eat for a few months, right? Don't you see how many officers' families have heavier burdens than you? People should be conscientious. No one wants to see Captain Zhao sacrificed. You can say that the army owes your family, but you can't say that Captain Xu and Captain Lu owe you. Can throwing a tantrum solve the problem? As a mother of four children, have you set such an example for your children, letting them learn to throw a tantrum from you?"
Director Zheng said in a resounding voice, "No matter who it is, no one wants to see this situation. Ask yourself, is this mother qualified? You blame your child for not understanding you, you blame Captain Lu for not helping you, and you blame everyone for not standing by you. Ask yourself, have you explained to your child why you did this? Have you made them feel at ease? You can find someone else, but they are not the matchmaker. Who can arrange everything for you?"
"If you can live in this compound, you can live there. If you can't, we will transfer your household registration back to your hometown."
