In the evening, Song Yuzhou returned home.
Jiang Zhining looked at his serious expression and asked with concern, "Did something happen in the army?"
Song Yuzhou turned and looked at her. He met her gaze and was silent for a moment before saying, "Actually, there was something unexpected during this mission."
So Song Yuzhou simply told her about the ambush.
"Although we finally took advantage of this accident and successfully counterattacked, we cannot ignore the facts behind this incident." Song Yuzhou said solemnly.
Looking at his expression, Jiang Zhining agreed, "Of course we need to investigate this matter."
She has always believed that there are no absolutely good people in this world.
Most soldiers are kind, but some are tempted by interests.
There are also some soldiers whose minds are simple and who are exploited.
These possibilities cannot be ruled out.
"You said the commander has started investigating. Is there any progress now?" Jiang Zhining asked.
Song Yuzhou shook his head: "The commander asked the officers who participated in the previous discussion, but he has not found any useful clues so far."
Jiang Zhining was silent. With the current level of technology and the lack of surveillance, it was not easy to find clues. Whether it was true or not depended entirely on the mouth and whether there were eyewitnesses.
"Let's eat first and think about it later." Jiang Zhining said softly.
Song Yuzhou nodded, then walked towards the small dining table.
Song Ye had already eaten in advance, so the four of them ate around the table with peace of mind.
The meal was very quiet and no one said a word.
After filling his stomach, Song Chen washed the dishes consciously.
Xixi wanted to help but was stopped.
"Xixi, you are still young and a girl, so you don't have to wash dishes." Song Chen said truthfully.
Xixi held her face in her hands and asked curiously, "Why? Xixi saw that it was always Auntie who washed the dishes at Xiaohuzi's house."
"I am a man, and men are stronger than you girls. The strong should take care of the weak, that's what they should do." Song Chen said seriously.
In his opinion, there is order of seniority, and as an older brother, he should protect his younger siblings.
It is also the responsibility of men to take care of and protect women.
Listening to his words, Xixi seemed to understand and said sweetly, "Then when brother gets old, Xixi will take care of him. Xixi is younger than brother, so she will be younger than brother by then."
"..." A frown popped up on Song Chen's forehead. He actually felt that what Xixi said was not wrong.
Jiang Zhining watched Song Chen and Xixi get along, with a smile in her eyes: "If Song Chen hadn't turned evil, he could have been a warm and domineering boss."
"What is that?" Song Yuzhou, who happened to hear this, asked in confusion.
Jiang Zhining hugged his waist and leaned against him softly: "It is a very powerful existence."
"Oh, I can become stronger too." Song Yuzhou hugged her back, "I'll be promoted to the full group leader in a few days, and my salary will increase by 30 yuan."
Jiang Zhining looked up: "Really? My man is really excellent."
Looking at her shining eyes, Song Yuzhou scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"I just don't earn as much as you, my wife is so capable." Song Yuzhou said proudly.
Jiang Zhining smiled and said, "I'll make money and make our family prosperous. You'll make military achievements and reach the top of the army. In this way, we'll both become better versions of ourselves."
Seeing the expectation in her eyes, Song Yuzhou nodded: "Okay!"
Suddenly, Jiang Zhining had an idea: "I have a solution."
Song Yuzhou was puzzled.
"I have a way to make the person who leaked the army's secrets admit it himself." Jiang Zhining's eyes flashed with cunning.
"What method?"
"We spread the word that a magical stone had appeared, and if you just place your hand on it..."
So the next day, a miraculous event spread throughout the villages near the military compound.
Jiang Zhining was strolling around the compound, listening to everyone chatting, and came forward: "What are you talking about, sister-in-law?"
"It's the captain's wife. We heard someone unearthed a magical stone yesterday. The stone has a magical power. If you put your hand on it, you can tell whether what others say is true or false."
"Is there such a thing?" Jiang Zhining was surprised.
"Yes, it's spread everywhere. I heard that the man who dug up the magic stone was suspected of stealing a neighbor's chicken, but the magic stone proved his innocence. The man was so happy that he even worshipped the magic stone."
"I also heard that someone suspected his wife was having an affair with a widower, so he borrowed the divine stone to verify it, and it turned out to be true. The man was so angry that he beat up the wife, and she finally admitted it."
"I also heard that..."
"Is this sacred stone really so magical?"
Jiang Zhining spoke at the right moment: "The world is full of wonders, and everything has a spirit. I had a college classmate who was mentally unstable for a while. Later, her parents heard that there was a magical spring deep in the mountains, and drinking it could drive away evil spirits."
"And what happened next?"
"Later, her parents went looking for it and finally found the spiritual spring. My classmate drank the water from the spiritual spring and immediately returned to normal. So this magic stone may really have magical properties."
Following Jiang Zhining's words, everyone believed it even more.
After all, this era was still very feudal and superstitious, especially for soldiers and their wives who mostly came from rural areas, who believed it even more firmly.
Seeing this, a smile flashed in Jiang Zhining's eyes.
In just two days, the story of the magic stone had spread, and it was even made to sound more magical. Many people believed that it really had miraculous effects.
In the hospital, Jiang Zhining completed the discharge procedures and began to pack her luggage.
Song Ye sensibly helped Jiang Zhining clean up.
After packing up his things, Song Ye bowed deeply to her: "Mom, you have worked hard during this period."
Seeing his serious look, Jiang Zhining caressed his head lovingly: "Since I am your mother, I am willing to take care of you."
Song Ye raised his head, his clear eyes filled with determination: "If Mom gets sick in the future, I will take good care of you."
Jiang Zhining raised the corner of her lips and pinched his cheek: "Stinky boy, please don't curse me."
Song Ye quickly became nervous. He was worried that she would misunderstand him, so he hurriedly explained, "Mom, that's not what I meant. I..."
Seeing that he was so nervous because of her words that his eyes were filled with tears, Jiang Zhining quickly said, "Silly child, I'm just kidding. I know you just want to take care of me. You are a good child, I always knew that."
Song Ye quickly held back his tears. Song Chen said he was a crybaby, but he was not.
"I want to be a good son." Song Ye stated his position firmly.
Jiang Zhining laughed out loud: "Then I'll have to wait and see."
Although Song Ye didn't understand the meaning of the idiom, he nodded heavily: He had to be nice to Jiang Zhining so that he wouldn't be abandoned.
Jiang Zhining wanted to carry the luggage, but saw Song Ye rushing to carry it.
He wanted to show off his appearance and make Jiang Zhining feel distressed.
"Where is Dad?" Song Ye asked curiously.
"He's solving a big problem." Jiang Zhining kept the secret.
After casting the net for so long, it's time to close it.
