The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 72 Abandoning the Family

Everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei panted and said again:

"Just now, Captain Gu received a call from Captain Xiao from the county armed forces department. He said that someone was missing. He and his comrades from the armed forces department have looked for him, but they couldn't find him."

Xiao Wei took another breath and said:

"Commander, Captain Xiao asked you to go to their house and see if the 40 yuan he had saved is still there in the locked drawer of their room, which contains a Quotations from the Past. There are also 10 kilograms of food coupons."

As soon as Xiao Wei finished speaking, Zhou Guoliang jumped over the one-meter-high wall and entered Lao Xiao's yard.

Political Commissar Xu and Xiao Wei also climbed over the wall. After Liang Xinyue and Fu Chunhua were shocked, they quickly ran out of the door and ran into Battalion Commander Xiao's house.

This was the first time Liang Xinyue came to their house, and there was really a foul smell.

There were clothes everywhere, for children and adults, some that looked worn, some that seemed to have been washed.

When the two of them came in, Zhou Guoliang and the others were already flipping through the book of quotations from ancestors.

"Nothing at all."

Zhou Guoliang and Political Commissar Xu both looked gloomy. Zhou Guoliang immediately said:

"I'll go to the county right away."

Political Commissar Xu said anxiously:

"The other car hasn't been repaired yet, and this one has been driven away by Lao Xiao. How are you going to get there?"

"A bicycle. And another bicycle."

Political Commissar Xu caught Zhou Guoliang who was about to run away:

"Your leg injury hasn't fully healed yet. It will take you two or three hours to get to the county. Besides, it's useless for you to go. So, I'll call the Armed Forces Department and ask them to send someone to bring Lao Xiao back. Then we can discuss it. I'll send a telegram to Lin Xiaoju's former unit to see if she has returned."

Zhou Guoliang clenched his fist and hit the drawer hard, leaving a crack on its surface.

Liang Xinyue subconsciously reached out and held his fist:

"Guoliang, you..."

Zhou Guoliang sighed:

"Take good care of the children, Political Commissar. Let's call the regiment to inquire about the situation and ask them to keep an eye on Lao Xiao. I'm afraid Lao Xiao will do something wrong in a fit of anger."

These days Liang Xinyue also felt that Zhou Guoliang's feelings towards Xiao Shun and Gu Sanding were different.

Zhou Guoliang was very sad about what happened to Old Xiao.

Political Commissar Xu nodded, looked at Lao Xiao's home again, and with a heavy face, he returned to the regiment with Zhou Guoliang and Xiao Wei.

Liang Xinyue and Fu Chunhua looked at each other again, and then walked out again, closing the door behind them.

When she came back and saw the four children still happily playing with foxtail grass, Liang Xinyue didn't know what to say.

Fu Chunhua whispered:

"How could you do this? How could you do this? These are all my own flesh and blood. How could I bear to give them up?"

Even though Liang Xinyue herself had never given birth to a child, she couldn't imagine what a mother would think of abandoning two such young children.

Looking at the faint smiles on Yaya and Dongdong's faces when they were playing, Liang Xinyue felt like crying.

When Zhou Guoliang and his companions returned to the regiment, Gu Sanding came out from the regiment office to greet them, also with a worried look on his face:

"Lao Zhou, I'll go to the county and bring Lao Xiao back."

Zhou Guoliang said nothing with a dark face. He walked quickly to the desk, picked up the phone and started calling:

"Hello, I am from the Iron and Steel Regiment. Please connect me to the Xihuai County Armed Forces Department."

After the call was transferred, someone from the Armed Forces Department answered the call.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Guoliang, the commander of the garrison's Iron and Steel Regiment. May I ask about my regiment's..."

Before he finished speaking, someone from the Armed Forces Department replied:

"Yes, yes, Captain Xiao is here."

Then, it was Lao Xiao who answered the phone.

"Old Zhou."

After calling out "Old Zhou", Xiao Shun became choked with sobs and became speechless.

He is very wronged!

But he felt even worse!

When several people in the office heard him call "Lao Zhou", their eyes became red.

Gu Sanding turned around and punched the wall twice, leaving red marks on the snow-white wall.

He doesn't deserve it for his brother!

Zhou Guoliang also choked up a little, took a breath and said:

"How are you doing over there? Any news?"

"Well, a comrade just sent a message from the station saying that she got on a bus to the city. I...I can't leave the county without permission. I plan to return to the regiment immediately."

Political Commissar Xu let out a long sigh.

He was afraid that Lao Xiao would not know the seriousness of the matter and impulsively leave Xihuai County to look for someone, which would violate military discipline.

Let's come back first, as long as we can make sure that Lin Xiaoju went to the city. Zhou Guoliang also thought so:

"I went to check. The money was gone, and neither were the food coupons. She must have left with a plan. Please ask a leader from the Armed Forces Department to answer the phone."

Xiao Shun handed the phone to Minister Li who was standing beside him.

"Old Zhou, I'm very sorry. We went looking for her as soon as we got the news. We just received news that someone who looked almost like her got on a bus in the city, and I heard that she even asked for directions to South City."

"I have called the city government, and they will send someone to confirm. As long as she wants to leave voluntarily, we cannot force her to stay. If we cannot persuade her to come back, we can only find a way to send a comrade to send her to her family."

"Okay, thank you. I feel relieved by your arrangement. I was also worried that something might go wrong for her, a female classmate, walking so far alone. If you have any news about her, please let us know at any time. By the way, her original workplace was the supply and marketing cooperative in Nanshi. After we confirm that she has returned, we will contact her workplace."

"Okay. Captain Xiao is fine, don't worry. He will be back to the regiment soon."

After hanging up the phone, several people in the room didn't know what to say.

Old Xiao suffered a heavy blow this time.

Lin Xiaoju's secret departure not only hurt Lao Xiao, but the bigger problem was what to do with the two children?

Also, Lao Xiao hit her on impulse that day. If she went back and reported Lao Xiao for hitting someone, that would be a big deal!

Lao Xiao shouldn't have hit anyone, and Political Commissar Xu was prepared to warn and punish Lao Xiao.

But a series of things happened and I didn't have time to do it.

Although she is my wife, she is a common people.

People who know about it say it is understandable, but those who want to make a fuss about it may take it as an opportunity to blow it out of proportion.

I asked Lao Xiao to take Lin Xiaoju to the hospital today, hoping to help them ease their relationship.

Of course, I also hope that Lin Xiaoju will get better soon so that I can come back and take care of my child.

Lao Xiao barely slept last night, and before he left, the political commissar specifically told him to be nicer today and take good care of her. No matter what, she is the mother of your child.

Once her injuries and the child's injuries have healed, and she is willing to return to the city, let her take the child back.

Old Xiao had no other choice but to nod his head in agreement. The incident of Lin Xiaoju losing her daughter made Old Xiao realize that she really didn't like staying here. It seemed that he had made a mistake to force her to stay.

However, no one expected that Lin Xiaoju would abandon this family and leave alone.
