After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 228, Episode 0236: Disgusted by the Behavior of Certain People (Part 1)

Leng Xingran quickly found out who the father of the child in Wan Zhiqing's belly was. Xu Zhichuan had someone tell Wan Zhiqing's parents and the child's father's future spouse about Wan Zhiqing's pregnancy. Zhang Ze asked someone to put up a big-character poster at the child's father's workplace.

After receiving the news, Wan Zhiqing's parents did not make a fuss, but quietly went to the Hongxing Brigade.

Kewa's biological father's new wife also went to Hongxing Brigade. Unlike Wan Zhiqing's parents, she didn't try to cover for Wan Zhiqing. Instead, she went there openly and told everyone she met about it, making it known to everyone.

This is essentially a firsthand account from the person involved, which is far more credible than rumors from who-knows-where. Many people who weren't completely irrational realized that Xu, the educated youth, was indeed wronged!
But how many people can honestly admit they're wrong?
I was just repeating a few harmless remarks from someone else; if you can't stand it, it's because your mental capacity is too weak.

Why do you care so much when others don't? Did we hit the nail on the head?

It was just a few words. If it's not true, it's not true. Can't you just pretend you didn't hear it?
As such.

In short, they couldn't possibly be wrong. Even if it caused irreversible consequences, it wasn't their fault, but rather the fault of the person who spread the rumors, who misled everyone.

What's even more frightening is that even if the truth were presented to them one day, many of them would still believe that the truth is nothing but sophistry and would still relish talking about rumors.

However, Xu Zhichuan and the others no longer cared about these things.

They've already left that place, and now even important news might not spread, let alone a rumor from such a remote area.

Zhang Hongying sighed helplessly. To comfort the somewhat pitiful Xu family boy, she told him something she had heard when she first came to the Northwest.

That was about the family of a company commander under Leng Zhi.

"The company commander was named Zhang Chunsheng. He was from a village called Jingxia in the south. Jingxia Village is very remote. There is no road that can be traveled by car. There is only a small mountain path that our ancestors used to walk in and out of the mountains. It is winding and twisting, and in some places it is right next to the cliff."

“Almost no one from their village goes out to work. Zhang Chunsheng is the most successful person in their village, and the only one who has left in the past few decades. Therefore, Zhang Chunsheng’s family has a high status in the village and receives a lot of preferential treatment.”

“Zhang Chunsheng’s wife’s family was from a more remote village than Zhang Chunsheng’s village. When they couldn’t make ends meet, they gave away their daughter with 20 jin of sweet potato rice.”

Saying it was a gift was a nice way of putting it; in reality, it was just sold for the price of twenty catties of sweet potato rice.

Zhang Chunsheng's grandfather was the previous brigade leader of the village. Their village was relatively conservative, and some systems were not yet widely implemented. The village committee basically still followed the old way of succession, with the position passed down from father to son and then from son to grandson.

The current head of Jingxia Village is Zhang Chunsheng's uncle.

Therefore, Zhang Chunsheng's parents' lives were not worse than those of other people in the village; at least they did not suffer from hunger or cold.

Unfortunately, Zhang Chunsheng was not healthy when he was a child. He was thin and small and often got sick. He didn't look like a child who could stand up on his own.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were very anxious, as this was their only son.

A Taoist priest passed through their village and said that Zhang Chunsheng's fate was too weak, and he could see things that others could not. Those things were yin in nature. If you can't see them, you won't be affected, but if you see them, you will know that they exist, and you will be affected by their yin energy, which is why the child's health has always been poor.

To change this, he must be matched with a qualified and strong wife. Their fates will then be intertwined, and those evil spirits fear a qualified and strong person. Zhang Chunsheng will be protected by a strong and strong wife, and his health will naturally improve gradually.

Just then, Zhang Chunsheng's wife's family wanted to take her away to exchange for grain, so Zhang's mother quickly took her to see the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was delighted when he saw her; this was truly a match made in heaven, and the young girl was immune to all evil!

So the little girl was taken back to Zhang Chunsheng's house.

Amazingly, after the little girl arrived at Zhang Chunsheng's home, Zhang Chunsheng's health actually improved, and he gradually became no different from a normal person.

Hearing this, everyone felt a little uneasy. However, such things are not uncommon in rural areas. Some of them happened in the previous generation, while others are still happening now. They are just making excuses, and everyone around them tacitly pretends not to know anything.

Shouldn't we then say that the little girl was bullied by the Zhang family, and that Zhang Chunsheng wronged her?
Seemingly sensing everyone's thoughts, Zhang Hongying slammed her hand on the table in displeasure. "What are you all thinking? Zhang Chunsheng is a soldier, after all. If he doesn't even have that much awareness, he doesn't deserve to wear that uniform."

Everyone: "..."

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

They really wanted to ask, "Aren't these kinds of things common?"

Many men divorce their wives from the countryside, citing incompatibility as the reason, and then turn around and marry a pretty young woman from the performing arts troupe or a pretty young nurse from the hospital.

However, seeing that Zhang Hongying was truly angry, no one dared to say it aloud, for fear of being beaten.

Doesn't Zhang Hongying know?
she knows.

It was precisely because I knew this, and even more so because I was disgusted by the behavior of certain people, feeling that they had tarnished that green uniform, that I became angry.

“The Zhang family is good. I met Zhang Chunsheng’s mother, and she not only said that her family was very grateful to Wu Ranran, but her actions also showed that she really loved Wu Ranran.”

In my country today, military personnel generally need to be at the battalion level (including deputy battalion) to allow their families to accompany them. There's no other way; we're poor, and every penny has to be spent wisely.

Only the soldiers at the company level (excluding deputy company commanders) of the Northwest Corps were allowed to bring their families with them. One reason was that it was less expensive; digging a cave dwelling in the mountains cost manpower rather than money. Another reason was that the Northwest was too harsh, and having family members come along not only helped take care of the officers but also comforted them.

After Zhang Chunsheng was promoted to company commander, he immediately applied to bring Wu Ranran to the Northwest. At that time, the two had been officially married for less than a year, and Wu Ranran was pregnant. Zhang's family was worried about Wu Ranran's safety on the road and that she would not adapt well to the Northwest, so they specially arranged for Zhang Chunsheng's eldest brother to be the escort. Zhang's mother accompanied Wu Ranran to the Northwest and stayed to take care of her.

Zhang Chunsheng is only 24 years old this year, but he is already a company-level cadre. He has no background; he has relied entirely on his own hard work and struggle.

With such a background, Zhang Chunsheng's future is naturally promising.

Moreover, he was quite good-looking, with the square face that was most popular in this era, a tall man of 1.88 meters, affectionate towards his wife, and filial to his family.

It can be said that, apart from his family background, he embodies all the expectations that young girls of this era have for their future partner.

In particular, he won first place in the entire corps in the competition at the end of the year before last.

Goodness, just like the male protagonist in a novel, he immediately attracted the attention of many female supporting characters, casual viewers, and even random passersby.
