The wife took the baby to live with the military commander, and the commander washed diapers every d

"What? Qin's wife?" The women were shocked.

"Yes, Auntie, I can't talk to you anymore. My sister-in-law has been traveling for several days, and I need to take her to the guesthouse to rest."

After saying this, he picked up his things and continued walking.

After walking some distance, Tan Jianguo said, "Sister-in-law, don't mind them. Those older women don't know the reason. Just explain it to them."

She was afraid her sister-in-law would misunderstand.

"It's okay, I didn't care about that." She's new here, and no one knows her yet, so it's normal for people to misunderstand.

Tan Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his sister-in-law say that.

After they left, those older women started chatting amongst themselves.

"That really is Deputy Regiment Commander Qin's wife. Wasn't she supposed to be a country girl? How come she's so beautiful, just like a city girl?"

"I heard that Deputy Regiment Commander Qin's wife is an educated youth. Educated youth are from the city, so it's not surprising that she's pretty."

"I hadn't heard that Deputy Commander Qin had a girlfriend before. He went to visit his family and came back to find that he was already married. Could there be some hidden story behind this?"

The person who said this was an auntie. She had taken a liking to Qin Xiang'an before and wanted him to be her son-in-law.

Her daughter was very satisfied and said she would marry no one but him. She was thinking that when he returned from his studies in Beijing, she would have her husband talk to Qin Xiang'an about it.

Before they could even say anything, Qin Xiang'an went home to visit his family, and when he returned, he was already married. He submitted his marriage application as soon as he got back to the army.

She was so angry that she couldn't eat for several days.

When her daughter came home from school and heard about this, she made a huge fuss, insisting on marrying Qin Xiang'an. She even went to find Qin Xiang'an and tried to throw herself into his arms without saying a word, saying that she wanted to marry him and make him divorce his wife.

Qin Xiang'an's face darkened. He dodged her attempt to pounce and kicked her to the ground. Qin Xiang'an's expression was terrifying.

Qin Xiang'an was ruthless enough to report her directly to her superiors, saying that her daughter had ruined a military marriage and even tried to physically assault him.

In the end, her husband was severely warned and punished by his superiors, who said that he had not raised his family properly and that his daughter had ruined his military marriage. If her husband had known about this beforehand, he would probably have been punished even more severely.

The next day, her husband sent her daughter back to her hometown, and she was not allowed to return without his permission.

So when they heard that Qin Xiang'an's wife was coming to join the army, even if she was an educated youth, she would have to do farm work in the countryside, so she must not be very good-looking.

But she wasn't what I expected. She was good-looking and had a good temperament. Although she was a bit thin, she looked like a city person. She didn't look like a country bumpkin who was used to doing farm work.

So the aunt's face looked very bad.

"Who knows? But Deputy Commander Qin is really lucky. He found a beautiful wife, though she's too thin. She'll be better off gaining some weight," the old woman said.

"Indeed, and the clothes she's wearing are also beautiful. I'll ask her how they were made sometime, and I'll make one for my daughter too."

The old woman said, "Come on, with your daughter's figure, how much fabric would that take? Even if it were made, your daughter wouldn't look as good in it as other girls. What if the clothes rip up?"

"Go away, you old woman, how can you talk like that? So what if my daughter is fat?"

"Being a little chubby is a sign of good fortune. Someone like that Deputy Regiment Commander Qin's wife, who's all skin and bones, how pretty can she be? You'd feel uncomfortable holding her."

The old woman said, "Oh dear, you're just being a sour grapes. But it's true that Deputy Commander Qin's wife has lost a bit of weight. When Deputy Commander Qin comes back, I'll tell him to give her a good boost."

"By the way, Yingzi, you have to keep a close eye on your daughter. Deputy Regiment Commander Qin's wife is here. Don't let your daughter cause trouble for her, or it will get to the leaders, and your husband will be implicated again."

I already made a note of it last time. If this causes any more trouble, it could lead to a demotion.

It wasn't easy for Commander Fang to climb to his current position.

Qian Yingzi's face turned ugly after the old woman's words. "Auntie, what are you saying? My daughter already knew she was wrong. How could she do such a thing?"

"We still need to keep a close eye on them, lest they do something that you'll regret later."

The old lady was only offering this friendly reminder because she had known them for many years and had watched Xiaoying grow up. If the other person didn't listen, then it was none of her business.

Meanwhile, Shen Jingyue was taken to the guesthouse by Tan Jianguo.

The guesthouse consisted of rows of single-story houses.

Tan Jianguo helped her register, then took the key and led her to her room.

The room was small, containing only a kang (heated brick bed), a table, and a chair.

"Sister-in-law, stay here for a few days. I'll go and see if I can apply for a family compound for you later."

"Okay, thank you so much."

"No trouble at all. Qin and I are sworn brothers. He even saved my life before. Now that your wife is here, just let me know if you need any help."

Tan Jianguo helped her put her things away and said, "Sister-in-law, the canteen is right in front of the guesthouse. If you're hungry and want something to eat, just go there."

As he spoke, he took some money from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Keep this money and tickets for now. Buy whatever you need. Don't worry about the money."

"No, no, I have these myself, why would I need your money?"

"Sister-in-law, keep it. Don't worry about the money and tickets. When Lao Qin comes back, I'll have him pay me back."

He simply placed the money and tickets on the table.

"Then you should rest well, sister-in-law. I'll go and talk to the boss about your situation now, and I'll come and let you know when I have some news."

"By the way, there are public bathhouses here, near the cafeteria, on the same street. If you don't know where they are, you can ask someone. The people here are very kind and honest."

"The outhouse is in the last room. Just go out and walk straight ahead until you see it."

"Okay, thank you, I understand."

Tan Jianguo left after he finished speaking.

When Shen Jingyue saw the living environment, she was almost completely disappointed and even considered giving up.

Fortunately, I still have room for maneuver, otherwise I would really find it hard to accept.

When Qin Xiang'an comes back, if he's a good person, she'll stay together; if not, she'll take the child and get a divorce, and ask him to help her find a job. She'll never go back to where she was before.

If all else fails, she can find a job herself. The child will definitely stay with her, and she can raise the child alone in the future.

Shen Jingyue had thought everything through, but she didn't know how long it would take for Qin Xiang'an to return. Also, since the original owner had married him, she should have remembered what he looked like.

Why can't I remember anything at all?

I wonder what they look like. I hope they're not too ugly, otherwise...

Qin Xiang'an, whom she had been longing for, was currently leading a team outside the border of Yunnan Province, meeting up with a team that had just escorted scientific research experts back from abroad.

When they arrived to provide assistance, they were still engaged in a fierce firefight with the enemies tracking them.

Fortunately, Qin Xiang'an arrived with his men in time; otherwise, they would not have been able to hold out for long due to insufficient ammunition.

We can't afford to be caught and wiped out when we're almost home.

Qin Xiang'an led his men to repel the enemy, and then covered their escape from the area.

They only stopped when they reached a safe place, because all of them were seriously injured.

Their team consisted of nine people, but only five returned, along with four experts who escorted them back.

In order to create an opportunity for them to escape and to cover their escape, the other four comrades remained forever in a foreign land.
