Hearing the sound, everyone turned around to look. Zeng Rou came back from the other direction.

She was wearing a green military cotton coat and a bright red scarf around her neck, which made her look even more beautiful and graceful.

Coupled with her aggrieved look, she really made me feel pity for her.

Shen Huaishan was captured by her on the spot.

"Comrade Zeng, don't worry. No one can drive you out of the 32nd Regiment!"

After saying that, he turned around and glared at Zheng Lifen, who had remained silent throughout the whole process.

"Have you had enough of this? Yaoyao is young and naive, and you ordered her to embarrass herself, right?"

"She is the same age as Manman. Manman is gentle and well-behaved. Look at what you have taught our daughter to be like."

In front of outsiders, Shen Huaishan did not give Zheng Lifen any face at all.

Zheng Lifen was good-tempered and didn't argue with him, but Shen Yao couldn't stand it anymore.

She sneered, "As the saying goes, it's the father's fault if he doesn't teach me well. Even if I grow up crooked, I'm afraid it's your responsibility, Shen Huaishan, right?"

"But you're busy being someone else's dad and protecting someone else's daughter, so of course you can't take care of me!"

"It's just your own fault. How dare you put the blame on my mom? Who gave you the face to do that?"

"you you……"

The more sharp Shen Yao's words were, the angrier Shen Huaishan became.

Just when he was about to take action, a surprised voice came from behind.

"What's going on? Did a fight just break out at the base?"

Shen He, who rushed back with Zeng Rou, was extremely surprised when he saw the mess on the ground!

And there were dozens of people coming back with him.

Shen Yao sneered and retorted: "Yes, our base was just attacked by bandits and we were almost wiped out!"

"I remember that your mission, brother, was to assist Dad in defending the position. So I want to ask you, where did you take those people?"

He came back with Zeng Rou, maybe it has something to do with this old green tea girl?

After Shen Yao said this, Shen He instantly realized the seriousness of the matter.

His expression changed. "I...I was just going to complete a mission. I didn't know the bandits would attack!"

"Aunt Zeng said that a water source was found five miles northwest. This is a major discovery!"

"If we can find a water source nearby, we can quickly settle down and reclaim land!"

"Even if we find the water source, do we need so many people to check it out?"

Shen Yao sneered and directly exposed the loophole in Shen He's words.

"I'm afraid you're worried about encountering bandits on the road and being unable to protect Zeng Rou, so you've transferred so many people away, right?"

"Platoon Leader Shen, is this considered dereliction of duty?"

"I……"

Although it was Shen Huaishan's idea to let him lead the troops to protect Zeng Rou.

But Shen He, realizing the seriousness of the matter, would certainly not reveal the truth.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't think it through, but fortunately nothing serious happened."

"Yaoyao, I'm your brother. Do you really have to make such a big deal out of it?"

"Platoon Leader Shen, do you think this matter shouldn't be taken too seriously?"

As soon as Shen He finished speaking, Qin Chen turned around and questioned him.

"If you hadn't taken so many troops with you, how could the regiment be powerless to fight back when those bandits attacked?"

"I will report this matter to your division headquarters and deal with it seriously!"

Neglecting one's duties almost resulted in the destruction of the position, which is no small matter.

If the incident really reaches the division headquarters, neither the Shen family father nor his son will have a good ending!

Shen Huaishan was of course panicked and quickly pleaded: "Captain Qin, although Shen He was certainly wrong in this matter, it didn't cause any serious consequences, did it?"

"So you give him a chance and let this matter go, okay?"

"I will definitely discipline him strictly in the future, what do you think?"

It is true that like father like son. This matter is so serious, but he still wants to cover it up.

Qin Chen despised the behavior of the father and son and couldn't help but frown.

Without waiting for him to express his opinion, Shen Yao spoke again without any politeness.

"Since Big Brother has brought people to protect Zeng Rou and go find a water source, you wouldn't be unaware of this, right?"

"You knew they were going to the water source, and just now, when their lives were at stake, you sent people to look for Zeng Rou! You're really worried that something might happen to her!"

As she said this, she turned to look at Shen He, who had a grim expression on his face.

And Zeng Rou lowered her head guiltily, afraid that the fire would burn her side.

"And Captain Zeng, I'm curious about the size of the water source you mentioned."

"Is it so big that you think you should bring so many people to investigate?"

"If you don't understand the rules of the army, you should go back to Urumqi and be your arts squad leader!"

In fact, Zeng Rou also knew that it was against the rules for Shen He to bring so many people with her.

But in order to publicize her achievement, even though the water source she found was just a small stream, she still took people there with great fanfare!

Now that serious consequences have occurred, she certainly doesn't want to bear them.

So she gritted her teeth and said, "It's not up to me to decide how many people to send with me."

"Yaoyao, can you please not pick on me?"

Zeng Rou's eyes were filled with tears when she said this, and she felt so wronged.

Shen Huaishan was still feeling sorry for her when Shen Yao burst out laughing.

"You mean, it's Shen Huaishan and Shen He's responsibility to bring so many people with them, and it has nothing to do with you?"

After saying this, she looked at the Shen family father and son sarcastically.

"Some people are so stupid, they don't even realize they're being used as pawns!"

Shen Yao's words instantly made the three of them change their expressions.

Qin Chen said expressionlessly, "I will report today's situation to the leadership truthfully. Captain Shen, please make the decision on how to explain it."

After saying this, Qin Chen turned around and left.

Shen Yao did not hesitate. She turned around, supported the sad Zheng Lifen, and went straight back to their resettlement house.

When they returned to the room, Zheng Lifen, who had been tense for most of the day, couldn't help but burst into tears.

She hugged Shen Yao tightly, feeling extremely heartbroken.

"I originally thought it didn't matter that your father had no feelings for me. As long as he treated you and your brother well, I wouldn't mind."

"But I didn't expect him to be so cruel that he wouldn't even care about your life!"

"Yaoyao, Mommy is sorry for making you suffer!"

Zheng Lifen is the most soft-hearted and a rare loving mother.

Seeing her crying so sadly, Shen Yao patted her back comfortingly.

"Mom, don't be sad!"

"Anyway, you've already filed for divorce. Once you separate, we'll live our own lives."

"Whatever happens to Shen Huaishan and Zeng Rou has nothing to do with us!"

"Ah."

After so many years, Zheng Lifen has considered divorce.

But she was worried that the children would not understand, so she kept it to herself.

Now that she has Shen Yao's support, she certainly feels powerful!

Just as the mother and daughter were talking, Qin Chen's voice came from outside the door.

"Aunt Zheng, can I come in?"

Hearing this, Zheng Lifen quickly wiped the tears from her face and turned to open the door.

After the door opened, the tall and strong Qin Chen walked in carrying a large box.

Before Zheng Lifen could even ask, he smiled and said, "When my dad sent me here, he asked me to bring something for Aunt Zheng."

"There are some soap bars, a few clean uniforms, some canned food, army biscuits, and other things that you can use here."

Although Qin Yecheng was not destined to become a couple with Zheng Lifen, he has always taken good care of her over the years.

Especially at this critical juncture, Zheng Lifen was even more touched by his thoughtfulness.

Seeing Zheng Lifen's tears in her eyes, Qin Chen put the things on the table in the room.

She said awkwardly, "I still have work to arrange, so I'll take my leave now!"

"Auntie Zheng, have a good rest!"

After saying this, Qin Chen turned around and left.

When Shen Yao saw this, she immediately remembered that she still had important things to do.

So she quickly turned around and rummaged through the drawers and found something.

He chased after him without hesitation.

"Captain Qin, please stay!"
