Chu Jingqiu smiled and gently patted Xiao Yihan's hand. "Yihan, your battlefield is not here. This is a women's war. Don't worry about it. I'll kill them!"
Xiao Yihan glared at her and said, "No, your belly is so big, and you're still messing around. Just don't worry about this matter."
Chu Jingqiu pouted and deliberately changed the subject. She touched her belly and joked, "Baby, look at your daddy. He's too strict and has started to restrict our personal freedom!"
Xiao Yihan was amused. He also touched Chu Jingqiu's belly and said, "Baby, how come you have such a naughty mother? Your belly is as big as a ball, but you still want to go out and run around. You are not obedient at all...!"
Suddenly, Chu Jingqiu and Xiao Yihan widened their eyes at the same time.
Xiao Yihan said excitedly and incoherently: "Xiao Qiu... I... I think I felt the baby kick me."
Chu Jingqiu also said excitedly: "Yes, yes, they moved, I just felt them move.
Yihan, it seems they can understand our conversation. We must persist in prenatal education and talk to them more. We must give birth to three smart and lovely babies."
Starting from the next day, Chu Jingqiu asked Lele to closely monitor Feng Aiju. During the day, he would watch her directly on the surveillance camera, and at night, Lele would simply stay at her house to monitor her.
Within a few days, Chu Jingqiu discovered something wrong with Feng Aiju.
That day, the postman delivered a letter. After Feng Aiju received the letter and opened it to read, Gao Jintian went home.
Frightened, she quickly stuffed the letter under the mattress and started cooking.
Lele took this opportunity to steal the letter in Feng Aiju's envelope into the space, and Chu Jingqiu took a quick look at it.
The letter was written by Gao Jintian's daughter. The general content of the letter was to ask Gao Jintian to send some more money home.
In the past, I sent five yuan home every month, which was enough for the children and the elderly to spend if they lived frugally.
But this year, her eldest son's wedding cost all the family money, and she still owes tuition for this semester. If she doesn't pay, the teacher will let her expel her.
In order to save money, grandpa hasn't taken medicine for several months.
She hoped Gao Jintian would send more money home. It didn't matter whether she went to school or not, as long as he could at least buy some medicine for her grandfather.
Chu Jingqiu thought that Gao Jintian was a battalion-level cadre and had been in the army for so many years. Even if he had been disciplined in the past, his salary should be at least 100 yuan.
Even if he dislikes his ex-wife, he won't make his three children and his parents suffer!
Judging from Feng Aiju's expression, Gao Jintian must have sent a lot of money home. It is very likely that she withheld some of it secretly, so she hid the letter secretly for fear that Gao Jintian would see it.
This kind of person who is disrespectful to the elderly, does not treat children well, and is worse than pigs and dogs should be punished.
In that case, let’s give her an appetizer first!
Chu Jingqiu found the right time and asked Lele to throw the letter in front of the house of Cao Yuefen, who was the most willing to spread gossip in the family compound.
As expected, Cao Yuefen did not disappoint Chu Jingqiu. She might not be able to read, so after picking up the letter, she ran directly to a group of people who were enjoying the cool air under a tree and found a literate military wife to read it to her.
Because there was no envelope, everyone read the letter but still didn't know who it belonged to.
The letter begins by addressing him as "Dad" and ends with "daughter Xinzhen."
Everyone started talking at once.
Cao Yuefen moved the bench forward and said, "There aren't many people in our family compound whose children are still studying in their hometowns!
Also, since the eldest son is already married, this man should be quite old, right?"
Juxia, the military wife, said, "It seems Gao Jintian's eldest son got married this year. He was away on a mission at the time, and Feng Aiju wasn't well yet, so neither of them returned. But I don't know if his daughter's name is Xinzhen."
A soldier's wife with a thin face said, "It's definitely not her family. Feng Aiju said she sends twenty yuan back home every month. And when the eldest brother got married, the betrothal gift was one hundred yuan, and the banquet expenses were over one hundred yuan, all of which were also paid by Feng Aiju. This letter doesn't seem to be about her family."
Just then, Gao Jintian and Niu Jianfeng came over together.
Cao Yuefen hurriedly asked, "Captain Gao, is your daughter's name Xinzhen?"
Gao Jintian glanced at everyone in surprise, "Yes... yes! How did you know? Did you see her?"
Cao Yuefen walked over with a look of disgust on her face and slapped the letter into Gao Jintian's hand. "Take a look, is this letter from your family?"
Gao Jintian hadn't read the content yet, only glanced at the signature. He smiled and nodded, "This is a letter written by my daughter. How did her letter end up in your hands?"
Cao Yuefen said with disdain: "We picked it up from the ground. Captain Gao, if the letter really comes from your family, I have to advise you to treat the old man and the child left by his ex-wife well!"
The thin-faced military wife snorted coldly, "Exactly. What I hate most in my life is people who are unfilial. They don't care when the elderly are sick, and they don't even have money for medicine. This is simply a broken conscience."
The military wives all looked at Gao Jintian with unfriendly eyes and began to condemn him.
"It's true that if you marry a stepmother, you will get a stepfather. I don't ask for great wealth, but at least I want my children to have a family and go to school!"
"He was bragging every day about how much money he gave back to his family and how generous he was. It turns out he has such a dark heart."
Gao Jintian was stunned by what everyone said. He picked up the letter suspiciously and read it quickly. The more he read, the darker his face became.
He quickly explained: "I really didn't know about this matter. We send 20 yuan home on time every month.
The money for the eldest son's wedding and the children's schooling were sent separately. There must be some misunderstanding.
Don't jump to conclusions, I'll go back and ask Aiju. Who knows, the money I sent back home might have been stolen by someone with ulterior motives!
After saying that, he ran back home in shame.
As soon as they got home, Feng Aiju brought the meal over with a smile, "Lao Gao, you haven't eaten yet! I made some dumplings specially today, let's eat quickly!"
Gao Jintian sat down on the sofa with a dark face, staring at Feng Aiju with cold eyes for a while.
Then without a word he took out his key and brought out an iron box from the locked cabinet.
Feng Aiju hurriedly stopped him, "Lao Gao, why are you digging through the money box if you don't want to eat? If you want to spend money, I'll give it to you. Let's eat first. It will be bad if the dumplings clump together."
Gao Jintian pushed her away, opened the box and took a look.
He picked up a few deposit slips and threw them in Feng Aiju's face. "Feng Aiju, this is the money I asked you to send home! You didn't send it back at all, did you?"
Feng Aiju hurriedly picked up the deposit slip and said, "Lao Gao, please listen to my explanation. I really sent it all back!"
Gao Jintian slapped the letter in front of Feng Aiju and said, "You sent it all back. You only sent five dollars a month, and you haven't sent it for two months.
There is no money for my eldest son's wedding, my father's medicine, and my daughter's schooling. Where did their money go?
