A well-behaved girl was deceived while searching for her husband; she married a childless military o

Sun Mingyong was taken to the police station, where he vehemently denied the marriage fraud.

He told Deputy Director Li Jianlin, "Officer, I really didn't commit marriage fraud. Wei Hongmei and I were introduced by our parents, and we liked each other, so we honorably got our marriage certificate. I absolutely didn't lie to her!"

Li Jianlin, his face grim, said, "What's the deal with Qiao Lanshu in Guangzhou? She has your letter, and in it you lied to her, saying you were the battalion commander of the Independent Second Battalion, and that if you married Qiao Lanshu, she could come with you to the army!"

Sun Mingyong added:

"Yes, I admit that I had a fleeting romantic thought about Comrade Qiao Lanshu. I once thought about pursuing her and marrying her, but since starting a family with Hongmei, I have never been back. I haven't seen Comrade Qiao Lanshu for many years. The contents of the letter were just to make Qiao's mother happy. Qiao's mother is not in good health, and I was worried that she would not be able to bear it if I told her the truth."

Sun Mingyong said so much, and although he kept explaining and making excuses, the contents of the letter were indeed beyond doubt. He was just trying to put it in a less serious way.

At this moment, Qin Yuanzheng, who was sitting next to Li Jianlin, suddenly spoke up. He asked Sun Mingyong, "Qiao's father sent you a telegram and wrote you a letter, telling you that Comrade Qiao Lanshu was coming to Longcheng City to find you. Why didn't you go to the station to pick her up?"

Sun Mingyong: "..."

Sun Mingyong was taken aback by the question. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "She has a letter of introduction, and she's a grown woman. Even if I don't pick her up, she can stay at the guesthouse. It's not a problem, is it?"

Hearing this, Qin Yuanzheng became even angrier.

Sun Mingyong's ability to say such a thing clearly shows that he doesn't care about Qiao Lanshu's safety.

He never imagined how helpless and lost a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl would feel when she got off the train and stepped onto this completely unfamiliar land.

Qin Yuanzheng was dressed in civilian clothes; he had long since taken off his military uniform. Therefore, Sun Mingyong always thought he was a temporary worker at the Public Security Bureau.

Until Qin Yuanzheng suddenly stood up, walked towards him with a gloomy face, and kicked him in the chest.

Sun Mingyong was kicked against the wall. He clutched his chest, his vision blurred with pain, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

His head was buzzing, and he was curled up on the ground, half-dead.

Li Jianlin was startled by this sudden movement and jumped up.

He didn't know why Qin Yuanzheng suddenly became furious.

He quickly ran over, grabbed Qin Yuanzheng's arm, and whispered, "Calm down, calm down, don't kick him to death."

Qin Yuanzheng said coldly, "Just because he dared to impersonate a military officer and use the name of a battalion commander to commit fraud, he should be arrested and sent to a labor camp, not to mention that he is also involved in marriage fraud."

Deputy Director Li Jianlin nodded: "Indeed, that's a crime of impersonating a military officer."

Qin Yuanzheng felt that executing Sun Mingyong outright was already showing mercy. This kind of person should be captured and sent to the most arduous and exhausting Haixi Prison Farm to reclaim wasteland, and never be allowed to return for the rest of his life.

Since Qin Yuanzheng had said so, the approval process was simplified. It was supposed to require the military's stamp and signature anyway, and since Qin Yuanzheng was there, Li Jianlin handed the judgment directly to Qin Yuanzheng for signature.

Sun Mingyong was sentenced to twelve years of labor reform in a prison farm, in the most arduous and exhausting Haixi Prison Farm.

Furthermore, even if he serves his full sentence in twelve years, he will not be able to return.

Because his household registration is there, he has to stay there for the rest of his life.

Before he was sent to the labor camp, people from the Municipal Revolutionary Committee came over.

They gave Sun Mingyong ideological education and criticized him severely for a long time.

Finally, as a typical example, Sun Mingyong was made to tour various units and factories, and was publicly criticized at the National People's Congress so that everyone would take it as a warning and not repeat such mistakes.

Sun Mingyong paid a heavy price for the mistakes he made.

Even if Wei Zhengye wanted to help, he was powerless once the army got involved.

After all, no one will help him.

His daughter, Wei Hongmei, returned to her parents' home with her two children, crying and pleading with Wei Zhengye: "Dad, please think of something! The children can't be without their father."

Wei Zhengye was also troubled. Looking at his disappointing daughter, he said, "There's no turning back now. If it were just the Revolutionary Committee and the Public Security Bureau, I could still try to find connections and think of a solution. But the army has gotten involved. Tell me, what can I do?"

Wei Hongmei cried, "How could the soldiers have time to meddle in such trivial matters? Just because he impersonated a military officer and sent a letter home?"

Upon hearing his daughter's words, Wei Zhengye instantly flew into a rage. He slammed his fist on the table and demanded:

"Isn't that enough? He's been hiding things from both sides, using fake identities on both fronts! He deserves it! You divorce him immediately, get the divorce certificate, find a new father for the children, and once you transfer the children's household registration to their new father's address, there won't be any problems. From now on, just pretend Sun Mingyong never existed, understand?"

Wei Hongmei shook her head and cried, "Mingyong has been very good to me and the children. Dad, I can't live without Mingyong."

Wei Zhengye was extremely disappointed in his daughter.

This daughter was spoiled by him since she was a child. She has never experienced hardship and does not know the complexities of human relationships.

Sun Mingyong was just nice to her, and she was completely devoted to him. She never thought that Sun Mingyong would treat her so well, since she was plain-looking and a little chubby.

She believed Sun Mingyong when he said he fell in love with her at first sight.

Sun Mingyong praised her for being beautiful and virtuous, saying that he would only love her for the rest of his life, and she believed him completely.

Wei Zhengye tried to reason with her, but she wouldn't listen, and he couldn't teach her anything.

He stood up angrily and snapped at her:

"Your dad almost lost his job because of this. The factory manager told me to go home and avoid suspicion. It's been several days now, and no one has come to tell me to go back to work. Think about it, if I lose my job, how will I support you and the children with your meager salary?"

Hongmei, you're almost thirty. Be more realistic and think these things through properly, instead of spending all your time on love and romance, making yourself a laughingstock.

After being scolded by her father, Wei Hongmei tearfully led her children home.

However, she soon moved back to her parents' home with her children.

Because the dormitory she lived in was allocated to Sun Mingyong by the food factory, and it has now been taken back by the food factory.

Wei Hongmei previously disliked working at the food factory because it was too tiring, so naturally she didn't have a house.

She's currently unemployed, and Wei Zhengye can no longer pull strings to get her a job, so he's having her help out at a relative's unlicensed clinic to earn a few dollars for the time being.

……

Sun Mingyong's case caused a huge uproar in Longcheng City.

As everyone knows, Qin Yuanzheng personally took action to deal with Sun Mingyong's matter.

However, everyone assumed that Qin Yuanzheng took action because Sun Mingyong was impersonating a military officer to commit fraud.

What no one knew was that Qin Yuanzheng was actually venting his anger on behalf of Qiao Lanshu.

Qiao Lanshu caught a cold again this time, and even had a fever, whether she was frightened or something else.

Unfortunately, I have to postpone my desire to go home for another two days.

She spent all her time lying in the guesthouse, too afraid to even leave the house.

I just want to recover quickly and go home. Going to the countryside is fine; it's better than staying here.

At the door, the young Company Commander Yang, carrying two thermos flasks in one hand, knocked on the door: "Comrade Xiao Qiao, I've brought you some hot water. May I come in now?"

Qiao Lanshu nodded, her voice thick with nasal congestion and slightly hoarse, and said, "Please come in."

Yang Lianzhang pushed open the door to room 203 of the guesthouse, glanced at Qiao Lanshu sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), wrapped up like a dumpling, with a quilt around her body, and thought she was somewhat cute.

His face flushed, he placed the thermos on the opposite windowsill and said, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, have you finished your medicine? Would you like me to get you some more?"

In the past few days, Qin Yuanzheng has arranged for Company Commander Yang to stay at the guesthouse, saying it was to protect and take care of Qiao Lanshu.

But Qiao Lanshu knew that this was the person Qin Yuanzheng had introduced to her.

He came here partly because he was worried about leaving Qiao Lanshu alone, and partly because he genuinely wanted to bring the two of them together and create more time for them to spend together.

But actually, it wasn't just Qiao Lanshu who didn't have this idea.

When Company Commander Yang saw Qin Yuanzheng carrying Qiao Lanshu back to the guesthouse, he also began to regard Qiao Lanshu as his sister-in-law.

He assumed that Commander Qin liked Qiao Lanshu, but Qiao Lanshu disliked Commander Qin for being infertile, so the two were having a falling out.

As Qin Yuanzheng's subordinate, he dared not say much about his superior's affairs.

Anyway, he's always busy running around, but he's quite diligent and efficient in getting things done.

Qiao Lanshu knew that Company Commander Yang was keeping his distance from her, so the two of them got along relatively easily.

Qiao Lanshu hesitated for a moment, but couldn't hold back any longer. She asked, "Company Commander Yang, why haven't we seen your Regiment Commander Qin these past few days? Is the army very busy?"

While diligently sweeping the floor, Company Commander Yang said, "Oh, our regimental commander? He was busy interrogating prisoners the other day."

Qiao Lanshu was surprised: "Your unit still has prisoners to interrogate?"

Company Commander Xiao Yang hurriedly said, "No, no, it was interrogated at the Public Security Bureau. They said he was impersonating a military officer and committing marriage fraud or something. He has already been sent to a labor camp."

Company Commander Yang paused for a moment, then said, "I heard that the regimental commander was very angry at the time and kicked the other man, almost killing him on the spot."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu muttered to herself, "Your regimental commander is so fierce."
