After she left, Lu Jingchuan's indifferent gaze fell on Aunt Jiao, and his voice was very calm: "Aunt Jiao, the army is already investigating my mother-in-law's case. I will inform you later. If you are interested, please check the notice board later."
Aunt Jiao twitched the corners of her mouth, looking a little embarrassed: "Deputy Captain Lu, I have no ill intentions. I was just talking nonsense before."
"Everyone has the right to freedom of speech. You can be suspicious, but after the investigation results come out, I hope you won't say too much. If you say too much, it may be suspected of destroying internal unity." Lu Jingchuan said and went back to the house.
Lu Jingchuan came back, and Captain Sun also came back with his team. They stood at the back and heard what happened clearly.
Seeing that the wives of the soldiers from the three regiments had gathered here, even those from the East District Family Compound had come over, Regimental Commander Sun glanced around calmly and said in a serious tone: "You are quite enthusiastic about watching the fun."
"We are just wandering around with nothing to do." A family member from the East District smiled awkwardly.
Captain Sun's face looked unhappy, but he didn't say anything else. He said to the families of the first group, "Okay, everyone go home and mind your own business."
The family members of the group were all very worried about Bai Shuixian, but after confirming that there was no problem, they didn't talk much about it and followed the men home.
Aunt Jiao turned around and saw Yuan Anbin. She was particularly enthusiastic towards him, "Deputy Battalion Commander Yuan, you're back too."
Yuan Anbin thought her smile was strange. He usually only said hello to her when they met on the street, and they had no other contact.
He heard the whole process of what just happened and heard clearly what Aunt Jiao said. The intention in her words made people think more.
Now she was inexplicably enthusiastic towards him, and Yuan Anbin felt something was wrong. He said in a very cold tone, "Aunt Jiao, we are not familiar with each other."
After saying that, he carried the luggage in one hand and held Gangzi in the other, and called out to Yuan's mother: "Mom, go home."
"Why."
Yuan's mother hurried to catch up, looked back at Aunt Jiao, frowned, and hurriedly followed her son home.
The family members of the group followed the men from their families and the other onlookers had to disperse. Aunt Jiao and Chen Ying looked at each other and followed the crowd.
As soon as the Yuan family mother and son arrived home, Yuan's mother immediately served her son tea and food, and immediately asked him: "An Bin, you are really not familiar with Aunt Jiao?"
“Not familiar.”
Yuan Anbin was holding Gangzi in his arms, feeding him the local specialties he had brought back from outside. When he saw his mother asking about Aunt Jiao, he looked up and said, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Thinking about what had just happened, Yuan's mother had a bad feeling and quickly told him what had happened during this period.
Yuan Anbin frowned after hearing this, "Mom, I'm not considering this right now, so don't make any random arrangements for me."
"I didn't make any arrangements for you, and I won't interfere this time. Your father also told me not to interfere."
"It was Aunt Jiao who came to me on her own initiative. After Chen Ying came here, she often brought her here to play. Her words and deeds conveyed that sentiment. I didn't promise or give a definite answer. I said that everything would wait for you to come back, and you could make the decision yourself." Mother Yuan was glad that she didn't interfere.
Yuan Anbin's tone softened as he said, "Mom, I'm not considering it right now. Chen Eryan and the others were making a fuss here before, and it had a very bad influence. I didn't handle my family affairs well, and my superiors were quite disappointed in me."
"Now that I've finally gotten my divorce, I'm going to focus on my work. I need to take more steps forward while I'm still young."
"As for looking for another one, don't worry about it, Dad. I didn't say I wouldn't look for one. There's no rush now. Let's wait a year or two, until Gangzi grows up and goes to school."
Seeing her son had a plan, Yuan's mother was relieved. "Okay, okay, I understand. Until you find someone else, Mom will help you take care of Gangzi here. I promise to take good care of him. You can focus on your work and don't worry about home."
Yuan Anbin smiled when he heard this. He gave her the local specialties he had brought back and said to her cheerfully, "Mom, our mission went very smoothly this time. We all made contributions. The regiment commander and deputy commander should all be promoted. This time, the commander and deputy commander gave me an important task, and I completed it very well. They praised me, so I should be able to move forward."
Taking a step forward means being promoted to battalion commander. With promotion in military rank, salary and allowances will also increase.
Yuan's mother was very happy. "Okay, okay, this is a big happy event for our family. When things are settled, you can call your father and let him be happy too. Because of your divorce, your father has been upset and worried about you all day long. He can't sleep well at night."
"Okay, I'll call him later."
Having a promising son was the greatest comfort to parents. Mother Yuan immediately went to pour water for him to take a bath, and said happily, "Linglong will bring us a chicken today. I will stew it for you tonight."
"Mom, are you getting along well with my sister-in-law recently?" Yuan Anbin asked.
"The wives of the regiment are all easy to get along with and nice people. When you're not at home, they help me out. I've gotten to know them a long time ago. And your Aunt Bai, Deputy Regiment Commander Lu's mother-in-law, is also nice. She often gives Gangzi food. Gangzi now goes to their house every day."
"As for what happened just now, I think someone was jealous and plotted something bad behind the scenes."
"Your Aunt Bai is a good person. Unlike some city people who look down on others, she is very kind to others."
"Last time, I twisted my waist while carrying firewood. I couldn't bear to spend money to see a doctor, so she gave me some medicine and a massage. It healed in two days without me spending a penny."
"They are both very nice, mother and daughter. They often help me with chores and chop firewood. There are many southern vegetables that I have never seen and do not know how to grow, so they taught me."
“…”
Although Yuan's mother usually talks a lot with Aunt Jiao, she has a better relationship with the family members on the first group.
She had not seen much of the world in the countryside, but she still knew the crime of possessing banned books.
When Aunt Jiao tried to frame Bai Shuixian, her impression of her changed. Whether Aunt Jiao did it intentionally or unintentionally, the words she said could really kill someone. Fortunately, Bai Shuixian had a work permit and was not afraid of investigation by the army.
The mother and son were talking at home, and Bai Shuixian also followed them to the office. At this time, she was telling her own stories and experiences to Commander Zhu and other leaders.
Her life experience was full of ups and downs, and there were many things that needed to be verified. The army had to focus on registering the situation, and also contacted Tancheng on the spot to verify.
It was not difficult to investigate events from the past twenty years, but it took some time to contact the higher-ups. However, after making a few phone calls, I was able to contact the old leader successfully.
