Chapter 55 Marrying a Widow

Among their comrades-in-arms, Qin Yun and Huo Jingyuan held each other in high regard, their relationship being both that of mentor and friend. Only he knew that Qin Yun had a younger brother.

"You mean, Qin Yun's younger brother married his widowed sister-in-law?"

Marrying a widowed sister-in-law was still relatively common in this era. Widows have always been a topic of discussion, as long as the person is filial enough and has a younger brother-in-law of suitable age.

It's generally considered unwise to let one's sister-in-law become a widow.

Huo Jingyuan nodded.

Several years ago, when Qin Jin was transferred from another military region to the Northwest, he recognized Qin Jin's identity as soon as he saw that familiar face.

The expression on the Youth League Committee member's face gradually turned serious, and he slowly said, "No, she absolutely cannot stay in the Northwest Military Region. I will personally transfer Qin Jin out of the Northwest Military Region."

"Need not."

"What do you mean you don't need to?"

The Youth League Committee member jumped up from his seat, his brows furrowed as he glared at Huo Jingyuan, his eyes blazing with fury. He said angrily:

"Back then, she stabbed you in the heart with a knife. You, the living devil, almost went to the underworld to meet the king of hell. I'll handle the matter of transferring Qin and Jin away."

Back then, after Qin Yun's wife learned of her husband's sacrifice, she kept asking around about the situation on the battlefield and learned that Huo Jingyuan was also in that battle.

She found Huo Jingyuan with a knife in hand and questioned him frantically, "Why wasn't it you who died? Why? Give me back my husband's life!"

As he spoke, a sharp dagger pierced Huo Jingyuan's chest.

He offered no resistance.

Huo Jingyuan knew that his sister-in-law had suffered a mental breakdown and needed to vent. Moreover, Qin Yun had not only saved him on the battlefield, but also nearly a hundred soldiers who had penetrated deep into enemy territory.

So he willingly became a punching bag for his sister-in-law to vent her anger on.

Afterwards, when he woke up from the intensive care unit,
I learned that my sister-in-law had left the Northwest.

Huo Jingyuan shook his head: "There's really no need to transfer him. Qin Jin is at a crucial time for cadre promotion right now. If we transfer him from the Northwest, he'll have worked for nothing for several years." Each military region has different standards for cadre promotion. The only thing they agree on is that if a soldier is transferred to another military region, he needs to stay for several years before he can participate in the promotion process again.

"you!"

The Youth League Committee member gritted his teeth, unsure of what to say for a moment. After a long pause, he let out a long sigh, "Then you'll have to tell your partner to be careful."

"I know."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Ci stretched and realized she could leave work early. She went to the doctor's office, leaned against the door frame, and winked at Yu Qing.

"Let's go, Dr. Yu."

When she wasn't busy at work, she would already be imagining herself on stage. Her flowing sleeves would dance in all directions, but she would also need the accompaniment of drums.

If you add a drum.

The sight of water sleeves striking the drum is a true visual feast.

On her way home, Wen Ci saw many new family members moving in with their luggage. Yu Qing suddenly asked curiously, "With the position of 'Living Yama' (a powerful and influential figure), how many rooms are allocated in the apartment?"

“A three-bedroom apartment,” Wen Ci replied.

Yu Qing blinked in disbelief. Although she knew that the Living Yama's military rank was regimental commander, she was surprised that he could be assigned a three-bedroom apartment.

The surrounding three-bedroom apartments are very quiet.

"Is no one living around here?" Yu Qing asked.

Wen Ci nodded: "There's no one here yet, but it'll probably get lively in a month or two."

She asked Huo Jingyuan a few days ago why the married political commissar in charge of the entire regiment hadn't moved into a three-bedroom apartment yet.

Huo Jingyuan told her that the reason the Youth League Committee hadn't moved into the three-bedroom apartment yet was because his wife was still out of town, and he didn't like the empty family compound.
