Zhou Fei sat in Minister Wang's office and cried.
"Minister Wang, my parents forced me to accept those things. Li Fuguo was eager to bribe me, and my father thought highly of him, so he forced me to associate with him."
Because the identities of the military region commander and the head of the organization section are quite sensitive, they dare not openly accept gifts, so they use my name to amass wealth.
I was originally an orphan, and I am already very grateful to my parents for adopting me. I dare not disobey their orders.
But now that their scheme has come to light, they want to force me to marry Li Fuguo in order to protect their own reputation.
"I don't want to. I don't like him. He's my life's happiness!"
Zhou Fei was crying her eyes out, heartbroken, while Minister Wang of the Political Department across from her looked grave.
"Comrade Zhou, I am aware of the matter you raised. The Political Department will continue its investigation. Go back and wait for the results."
Zhou Fei stood up, took a couple of steps, then turned back to ask again, still worried.
"Minister Wang, if I don't want to marry Li Fuguo, I don't have to, right? Military marriages are protected by law. I'm a female soldier too, and no one can force me to marry someone I don't like, right?"
Minister Wang nodded, "Yes, marriage must be voluntary for both parties; no one can force anyone."
Zhou Fei then came out of the political department office with a sense of relief.
Since neither Li Fuguo nor Gu Huaiming, the couple, are helping her.
Then she had no choice but to make them all "die".
Why would you want her to go to hell if others don't?
After returning home, Lin Han did not choose to tell Qin Shuman about it immediately.
The matter is still unresolved, and discussing it would only cause her more trouble. Besides, she believes her uncle can handle it properly.
"Hanhan, why are you so late today? Are you starving?"
Lin Han clung to Qin Shuman's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Aunt Qin, I wandered around a bit on my way back and smelled other people's food, but none of it smelled as good as my Aunt Qin's cooking. The more I thought about it, the craving got, so I came back as soon as possible."
Qin Shuman patted her arm happily, "You have such a sweet tongue. Auntie will get you some rice. If Lao Gu doesn't come back for dinner, we'll eat first and ignore him."
"Okay, then I'll help serve the dishes."
The two set out the food at a small table in the courtyard. Lin Han took out a bottle of peach-flavored sparkling water from her spatial storage, poured it into a glass bottle, and brought it out.
Since Zhou Fei isn't home, I naturally want to share good things with my aunt.
Qin Shuman took a sip and felt lots of tiny bubbles running around in her mouth, which felt strangely tingly.
"Hanhan, what is this? Auntie has never drunk it before."
Lin Han made it up: "This is sparkling water, which is just juice made from fermented peaches."
"Oh my, you made this yourself?"
Lin Han felt guilty. "Yes, I learned this from someone before. I fermented it myself using peaches."
Fortunately, Qin Shuman didn't let Lin Han teach her how to do it, otherwise Lin Han would have been exposed.
"It's delicious. It's very refreshing to drink this in the summer. I'm going to brag to your uncle tomorrow. He's not coming home for dinner, and Hanhan made me this delicious juice herself."
Lin Han thought Qin Shuman was so cute. She wasn't at all old-fashioned like someone who was almost fifty, and she was quite good at accepting new things.
After the two finished eating, they sat under a tree in the yard to enjoy the cool shade. Zhou Fei returned from outside and went straight into the bedroom without greeting Qin Shuman.
Since falling out with the Gu family, she only comes home to sleep, spending the rest of her time in the hospital.
Qin Shuman sighed helplessly when she saw Zhou Fei enter the room.
"I felt sorry for her back then; both her parents had died, and none of her relatives cared for her, leaving her only with an elderly and ailing grandmother... Sigh~"
Zhou Fei suddenly opened the door and came out...
