1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1456 You're repaying kindness with enmity

Commander Ye also lost his temper: "Fine, then so be it, investigate right here."

He glanced at the children being held in their parents' arms, then pointed to the last child who had been revived and said, "You tell us."

Chu Xue had never seen this child before, nor did she recognize the woman who was half-embracing him, so she asked Fu Yancheng in a low voice, "Whose child is this?"

Fu Yancheng leaned close to her ear and said, "Feng Cunguang, the second son of Deputy Battalion Commander Feng of the Second Regiment."

Feng Cunguang pointed to the boy on the ground who had already lost his breath: "When we came over, he was already struggling in the water. Since we always played together, we thought we would go down and save him, but who knew that the more he struggled, the further away he went."

I had already grabbed him, but he held on tightly and wouldn't let go. I was pulled down and swallowed several mouthfuls of water. I was terrified, so I called for help from the people on the shore. Some of the people who had come with me ran back to their families' quarters to get help, leaving only Zixuan and Jiang Tao on the shore.

He was a little embarrassed as he said this, after all, he was just a twelve-year-old kid, and he had to call on two seven- or eight-year-old kids to save him. If it weren't for the officers on duty at the military gate who came to his rescue, he didn't want to think about what would have happened.

Perhaps startled, Feng Cunguang shivered.

After hearing what he said, Commander Ye looked at the woman from before: "Did you hear that?"

The woman immediately put her hands on her hips and raised her voice sharply: "Whatever he says is what he says. Who saw it? Don't try to fool me!"

Just then, a few older children led a group of men and women over.

The man in the lead saw the child lying on the ground and rushed over, shouting, "Mao Dan, kid, wake up! Don't scare Grandpa!"

Then came the old man's heart-wrenching cries: "It's all Grandpa's fault, Grandpa has ruined you!" The villagers who had come over also wiped away their tears. Some tried to go forward and comfort the old man, but he couldn't hear anything. He just held his grandson's small body and wailed loudly.

Chu Xue learned from the villagers who came from Baifu Village that the child's mother had run away with a man from the road construction team because the Zhang family was living in poverty. After being a bachelor for several years, his father married a widow whose husband had died.

Because his biological mother ran away with someone else, his father already disliked him. After his stepmother came into the family, he had an even worse time. Forget about getting enough to eat; being able to eat one meal a day and being beaten and scolded was considered a good day.

Every time the old man of the Zhang family tried to protect the child, the woman would bully him even more behind his back. The old man no longer dared to protect him and could only save some of his own food to secretly help his grandson.

Seeing that the old man was not ready to recover for a while, Commander Ye told the village secretary of Baifu Village, who had rushed over, what had just happened.

The village secretary already knew what had happened on his way there. Some children in the village saw the eldest grandson of the Zhang family fall into the water and ran back to the village to call for help.

The children who stayed behind saw some of the soldiers' children go into the water to rescue people, and later they saw soldiers jump into the water and rescue them. However, the Zhang family's Maodan was the farthest from the shore, so he was rescued the last.

The village secretary said with a stern face: "Zhang family daughter-in-law, it's wrong for people to go into the water to save others, but instead of thanking them, you're trying to extort money from them. You're repaying kindness with enmity and disgracing our Baifu Village."

The woman retorted, "How can you believe what a few children say?"

At this point, the children's parents objected: "My child never lies. You're trying to turn the tables on me now that you can't get away with it. You're shameless."
