Chapter 141: Xu Dajun’s Guarantee

When the military wife heard He Shulan's evaluation of her man, she suddenly laughed, her smile mixed with bitterness, "I said that."

She couldn't hide the injuries on her body from her partner. The man asked her twice, and every time she said it was her mother who beat her, Dajun didn't believe her and insisted that his mother was kind and not that kind of person.

After so many times, she no longer wanted to talk about it.

Finally, she had someone to talk to. After she finished speaking, the military wife burst into tears. She forced a smile and whispered, "What can I do? As a mother-in-law, I have to be more tolerant."

Chu Sangning blurted out anxiously: "What's the point of giving in or not? Mother-in-law can't just hit people casually."

If the girl's parents knew about this, they would definitely be heartbroken.

He Shulan looked at Chu Sangning who was extremely angry and smiled, "I am also worried about your temper, but your father said that Xingyan and his family are all simple people, and they would not do such a thing as beating their daughter-in-law."

He Shulan was applying medicine to the army's wife, while Chu Sangning was teasing the little girl beside her with candy.

She looked about five or six years old, short and skinny like a skeleton. Chu Sangning stuffed two candies into her mouth. The little girl covered her pocket and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, sister."

They sat from noon to afternoon, until the troop training was over, and then Jiang Xingyan, Qiao Xiangye, Zhou Yongzhuo and a group of people walked home.

When Qiao Xiangye returned home, he saw someone cleaning the house diligently. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing?"

He Shulan pulled the man aside and told him the whole story. Qiao Xiangye frowned, unable to believe that such a thing could happen before his eyes.

The mother-in-law abused her daughter-in-law, but Xu Dajun, as her husband, did nothing about it.

Qiao Xiangye was so angry that he cursed on the spot and asked the soldier with him to call Xu Dajun over.

After the man arrived, Chu Sangning looked at him carefully. The man was neither tall nor short, with a square face and thick earlobes, and did not look like a treacherous person.

When Xu Dajun came in front of Qiao Xiangye, he was still puzzled, "Captain, you are looking for me."

"Dajun, as a man, protecting your wife is your most basic responsibility." Qiao Xiangye sighed, pointing at the woman crying silently on the sofa, "Look at what your wife has become like at home."

The woman also pulled up her sleeves to reveal her arms. Her arms were covered with bruises and scars, and it didn't look like the injuries were recent.

"Why are you here? Where's mom?" Xu Dajun blurted out subconsciously.

He Shulan sneered. Originally, this was someone else's family affair and she shouldn't interfere. However, the wives and daughters-in-law of the military men were living a life that was neither human nor ghost, and He Shulan, who was such a Buddhist, couldn't stand it.

She said, "Dajun, I'm an experienced person too. I know that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law may not get along naturally, but as a man, you should have your own responsibilities, right?"

Suddenly talking about responsibilities and what to take on, Xu Dajun was confused, he smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, just say whatever you want to say."

"Okay, your mother has just arrived and she not only abused her daughter-in-law but also stole vegetables from the family's building. She even plucked my niece's spinach seedlings."

Xu Dajun looked at the mysterious face of the leader opposite him and his heart skipped a beat. Spinach seedlings?

He recalled the stir-fried dishes he had eaten a few days ago, which included some spinach sprouts. At that time, he asked his mother where she got them.

Later, Xu Dajun remembered who his mother asked him to give the spinach seedlings to, and he never asked again. However, he never expected that his mother had stolen the spinach seedlings.

As a filial son, Xu Dajun immediately began to defend his mother, "Captain, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, my mother is from the countryside and is used to taking advantage of others. She is a shallow-minded person. Please don't bother with her."

Qiao Xiangye didn't say anything, but his eyes showed even more disappointment with Xu Dajun. Compensation and apology were understandable, but it was unlikely that he could erase the mistake with just a few words, right?

After talking about stealing vegetables, there was also abuse. Perhaps because she was in Qiao Xiangye's house, Dajun's wife dared to complain to her husband. She cried and her nose turned red, "Dajun, these were all caused by mom."

"How is that possible? You two are so good at taking care of things when I'm at home." Xu Dajun has seen it many times with his own eyes: when he was at home, his mother helped take care of the two children, and his wife cleaned the house.

He sat on a chair to eat and rest, and was so happy to see the loving mother-in-law and the filial daughter-in-law that he couldn't stop smiling.

The woman sobbed, "I'm just pretending at home. If you don't believe me, ask my daughter."

Speaking of the concubine, the woman became even more confident. She hugged the concubine and said aggrievedly: "Mom also said that she would sell our concubine to the widow's family."

Xu Dajun knew about this. His mother mentioned it to him. Xu Dajun disagreed at first, but he couldn't stand his mother's earnest advice.

"Son, you can't be careless about this matter. What's so good about a little girl? If you really like her, it won't be too late to take her back when the widow is gone and the girl has grown up."

"Your top priority now is to have another boy. It's so lonely to have a golden egg at home. The more children the better. If you feel that you are too busy, just tell mom. I am old and I will stay at home to take care of your children."

Xu Dajun thought the same thing, but he never thought that before he even discussed it with his wife, the matter had already reached the ears of the regiment commander.

He tried hard to wink at his wife, but the woman covered her face and kept crying. He was powerless and had to make the promise in front of Qiao Xiangye with a gloomy face.

"Whatever is for sale or not is fake. Mom would never do that."

The woman continued to cry. Xu Dajun gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from his back molars: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, our daughter will not go back to her hometown."

Jiang Xingyan watched the whole process from the side, including Xu Dajun's dark face and reluctant promise. He saw it all and was very puzzled. Why would a biological father be willing to send his own child away?

Could it be because she's a girl?

Jiang Xingyan thought: If I had a girl, I would definitely treat her like a baby. Not to mention giving her away, he might get angry if someone else touched her.

As for the incident of abusing his daughter-in-law, Qiao Xiangye severely criticized Xu Dajun and sternly warned him that if it happened again, he would not be tolerated.

Xu Dajun bowed and apologized to Qiao Xiangye and He Shulan, then left with his wife and daughter-in-law. He Shulan suddenly slapped her head and thought of a package that had arrived not long ago.

"Sang Ning, there is a package for you, sent from Lu City."

Chu Sangning did not open the letter. After dinner, she and Jiang Xingyan took a stroll around the family building to digest the food. The moonlight was bright and there was no one around. Jiang Xingyan and Chu Sangning gradually approached each other and were about to hold hands.
