Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

After weighing the pros and cons, Qi Zhengyang had no choice but to sacrifice his pawns to save his king.

He nodded and said, "Yes, she seduced me."

While taking notes, the other person said, "Then tell me, how did she seduce you, how did she destroy your family, and how did she ruin your future?"

Having come this far, in order to clear himself of any wrongdoing, Qi Zhengyang could only present a logically coherent account of his accusations against Du Mei.

The next day at the meeting, he used this document to accuse Du Mei in front of everyone in Daben Township of how she seduced him, how she destroyed his family, and how she ruined his future.

Some people who were unaware of the truth believed it and felt particularly sorry for Qi Zhengyang, so they egged him on to break off his relationship with Du Mei.

Among them were people who knew the truth, who knew that the two of them were a couple who had consensual sex.

They cast disdainful glances at Qi Zhengyang's behavior.

Qi Zhengyang was put in a difficult position and had no choice but to comply with the public's demands and publicly announce that he was severing ties with Du Mei.

……

Yuan Wenjie returned on the sixth day after he left.

He still drove the jeep from the armed forces department to Daben Village.

However, he did not return alone; Su Jinru's third sister and her family of three also returned with him.

It turns out that Su Jinyu's husband, Ma Chunsheng, was once Yuan Wenjie's subordinate. When they were both in the Southern Theater Command, they fought side by side in several battles.

Later, Yuan Wenjie went on a secret mission and was transferred to the Northern Military Region.

After that, they went about their own business and didn't keep in touch.

Unexpectedly, on this same day and at the same time, they all arrived at the armed forces department of Nanyang County, a small place.

The two stared at each other, their eyes wide, for a long time before they dared to believe their eyes.

"Commander Yuan, what brings you here?" Ma Chunsheng asked with great surprise.

"He's already a division commander," Minister Ye reminded him.

Ma Chunsheng said, "Yes, yes, we've been apart for six years. With your abilities, it's well-deserved that you're now a division commander."

Yuan Wenjie patted Ma Chunsheng on the shoulder.

Then he glanced at Su Jinyu behind him, who looked remarkably like Su Jinru.

Are these your wife and children?

"Yes, yes, this is my wife, Su Jinyu. We're in the same unit. She's a medic. This is my son, Xiao Shitou. He's strong and healthy, isn't he cute!"

Ma Chunsheng's tone was filled with pride and arrogance.

Yuan Wenjie pinched the child's chubby little face with his hand.

"You little rascal, you've got some serious guts! You've raised such a spirited little boy."

"Commander Yuan, oh no, Division Commander, what about you? Your wife has given birth to a big, healthy son for you, hasn't she?"

"What sister-in-law? You have to call her elder sister."

As he spoke, Yuan Wenjie winked at Minister Ye.

Minister Ye hesitated for a moment, then understood and burst into laughter.

Ma Chunsheng was somewhat bewildered by the laughter.

"Minister Ye, what are you laughing at? You two aren't hiding something from us, are you?"

Minister Ye suppressed a laugh and said to Ma Chunsheng, "Regimental Commander Ma, Comrade Su Jinyu, aren't you going back to Daben Village? Division Commander Yuan is also going to Daben Village. It's perfect that you're going the same way, so let's go together!"

Ma Chunsheng asked in surprise, "You're going to Daben Village too?"

"You're allowed to go, but I'm not?"

"That's not what I meant. I meant, what are you doing in Daben Village?"

"What are you going there for?"

“My wife’s family is from Daben Village. To be honest, we’ve been married for four years and our child is two years old, but I’ve never even stepped foot in my in-laws’ house.”

"That's because you're so immature. Your child is already two years old, and you haven't even visited your parents-in-law yet."

"You know, as soldiers, we have no choice in what we do!"

"I have time to have a son, but not time to visit my elders."

"Yes, yes, it was my fault."

Yuan Wenjie waved to Minister Ye: "Minister Ye, we're leaving!"

Minister Ye tossed him the car keys.

Yuan Wenjie took the keys, picked up the little stone, opened the car door, and put it inside.

Ma Chunsheng and Su Jinyu moved their luggage into the trunk of the car.

The car quickly headed towards Daben Village.

Yuan Wenjie and Ma Chunsheng talked about some things that happened after they parted ways.

Later, Yuan Wenjie returned to the Southern Military Region to participate in several missions, but they were all secret operations, so Ma Chunsheng had no idea that Yuan Wenjie had ever returned.

Ma Chunsheng, on the other hand, was always on the front lines, going wherever there was fighting.

He rose from a company commander to a battalion commander, and then to his current position as a regimental commander.

Now that the war is over and the troops have been reassigned and reorganized, he finally has time to visit his father-in-law and then go back to his hometown to see his parents.

Ma Chunsheng said that he and his wife got married in the military, and their parents had never met each other.

I'm just writing to let you know.

However, both sets of parents were understanding. After all, they were both going to the battlefield and might become martyrs at any time. Moreover, they were not young anymore and it was time for them to get married. So, with the leaders' witness and assistance, they got married and had a child.

Now that things are peaceful, I heard that the higher-ups want to assign them to a military post somewhere, but I don't know exactly where yet.

Yuan Wenjie said, "Perfect timing, I'm also going to a place to station troops, let's go together with our wives and children."

Ma Chunsheng: "Where is your wife from?"

"You're from Daben Village! Maybe we're even relatives!"

Su Jinyu, who had been silent until now, said, "Commander Yuan, what's your sister-in-law's name? I know everyone in Daben Village."

"She also has the surname Su, so she might even be related to you!"

Su Jinyu was surprised: "Could there be a mistake? Among all the families with the surname Su, only my family is in the entire Daben Village."

"There's no mistake, her surname is Su, and her name is Su Jinru."

"Ah! What?"

"My wife, her name is Su Jinru."

"Su Jinru, isn't she my older sister? Your wife is my older sister?"

Ma Chunsheng also exclaimed in surprise.

"So, you knew all along that my wife, Su Jinyu, is your wife's younger sister? No wonder you said you couldn't call her sister-in-law, you should call her elder sister. No wonder you and Minister Ye were laughing so inexplicably just now!"

Yuan Wenjie burst into laughter.

"Who told you to be so stupid? The hints were so obvious, but you couldn't understand them."

Ma Chunsheng's focus, however, was on his former boss, who was now his brother-in-law, but still held a superior position.

He chuckled awkwardly, "Then you'll be my brother-in-law from now on?"

"you do not say!"

Compared to the two excited men, Su Jinyu was filled with suspicion.

How did you and my older sister meet?

"We met by chance five years ago."

“You’ve known each other for five years, but my older sister has never mentioned you to me.”
