It seems that since the adoption of godparents, Yun Shu's parents' three-day visit to the countryside to investigate Xie Yicheng went quite smoothly.

Besides their face-to-face interactions, let's examine Xie Yicheng's personality and conduct, as well as his feelings for Yun Shu. Xie Huaiqian wasn't just spending all his time traveling and enjoying life with his future son-in-law during this period.

The fact that he and Lin Huiwen have a good friend like Wang Min here naturally indicates that other connections can also play a role. They both came from the military, only their systems changed after leaving the military, but they still have a bond.

Moreover, Xie Yicheng spent four years in the military from the age of sixteen to twenty. Both the Xie and Lin families started their fortunes in the military, so they naturally had a more detailed understanding of Xie Yicheng's background and information.

Three days was just the right amount of time. After spending three days in Fengsheng Brigade with their daughter, the couple, who were being hosted by Wang Min in the county town, received a message from their old comrades-in-arms.

After much searching, they finally found Xie Yicheng's former military superior, the same person who helped Xie Yicheng transfer to civilian work, and learned some details about Xie Yicheng's transfer.

After all, it is common knowledge that although Xie Yicheng is not from a military family, he has already risen to the rank of officer in the army in four years. In theory, he has a lot of room for promotion. He is still young, and if he has the opportunity to further his studies, he can think about a broader future.

But he was forced to retire from his position as platoon leader. You should know that the company commander above him was a veteran with poor physical condition and was riddled with injuries and should have retired to the second line or retired to recuperate long ago.

If Xie Yicheng persists in his advice, he might be able to advance further and become a 20-year-old company commander. It's not like he was promoted on the spot; it's already quite remarkable that he's reached this level at such a young age.

But he changed careers, so Xie Huaiqian concluded that there must be some unknown secret behind it.

……

Of course, Xie Huaiqian had no intention of prying into anyone's privacy. However, since Xie Yicheng was his daughter and might even be his future partner, he had to be cautious from a father's perspective.

He couldn't gamble on even the slightest possibility that Xie Yicheng was a good person.

Therefore, he eventually contacted Xie Yicheng's former regimental commander, the one who helped his class transfer to civilian work. Fortunately, that regimental commander's current partner, the political commissar, was an old comrade-in-arms of his, so the relationship wasn't too distant.

With the political commissar acting as a go-between, and Xie Huaiqian not wanting to get back at Xie Yicheng, who still felt sorry for such a good soldier who had been demobilized, the regimental commander told Xie Huaiqian everything he could about that incident.

Of course, the main reason is that he has been promoted by half a level in the past six months, and that crazy woman who targeted Xie Yicheng has successfully ruined her whole family, so she has only herself to blame.

So the leader didn't have so many taboos anymore.

The cause and effect of the matter were obvious, and Xie Huaiqian sighed repeatedly after hearing it.

Their family had heard about that lady's affair even in Beijing. After all, the military had made an example of her, and those who were eager to "boost morale" weren't entirely wrong about it this time.

But it's a rare good deed he did.

I never expected that this Xiao Xie was one of the main figures in that incident.

……

Having received what he wanted, Xie Huaiqian felt a little more at ease with Xie Yicheng. After all, as long as Xie Yicheng's character was sound, that was the best outcome.

After chatting with his old comrades over there for a while, Xie Huaiqian didn't reveal too much about why he was inquiring about this matter, but his old comrades could guess some of the reasons.

After all, Lao Xie's eldest son wasn't in the Northeast Military Region, so he certainly couldn't ask them for information about matters concerning his eldest son. The only possible culprit was his two remaining daughters.

Xie Huaiqian has one son and two daughters. His youngest daughter is still young. A few years ago, when he went to Beijing on a business trip, he attended the little girl's one-month celebration. Now, his youngest daughter should still be in elementary school.

The only possible one is the eldest daughter. I heard that she has been sent to the countryside as an educated youth. Considering Xie Yicheng's hometown, the political commissar suddenly smiled and patted his partner, who was still lamenting for his good soldier.

"Alright! What's with all the sighing?! That kid would have been ruined if he hadn't changed careers back then, but he's doing just fine now that he's changed."

"Besides... I think this kid's going to be something special in the future~"

The political commissar was somewhat emotional, and he was also happy for Xie Yicheng. There were some things he didn't say, but that didn't mean he didn't know about the relationship between Xie Huaiqian and his wife Lin Huiwen.

"With the mindset and wisdom to 'take it or leave it,' the courage to retire gracefully, and the support of the Xie and Lin families, your future won't be any worse than if you were to struggle in the military!"

……

The regimental commander was puzzled. He wasn't familiar with Xie Huaiqian, and if it weren't for the fact that the political commissar had a good relationship with him, he wouldn't have been able to blurt out so much all at once.

But when his political commissar suddenly made such a remark, the regimental commander's quick wit suddenly kicked in at this critical moment. He grabbed his political commissar's arm and wouldn't let go, insisting on getting to the bottom of it.

Even a scholar like the political commissar couldn't handle this brute. He could only reveal a little about Xie Huaiqian's background and the possible purpose of looking for a son-in-law. Then he repeatedly told the regimental commander not to tell anyone about it, since it was not a good thing to make it public.

The commander was surprised that the brat from back then would have such good fortune. He was initially pleased and happy for Xie Yicheng. The frustration and resentment he felt because of that incident back then were also relieved.

After realizing what had happened, he immediately assured his political commissar that he would never tell anyone! Even if he was drunk, he wouldn't say a word to his wife!

Fortunately, the regimental commander was somewhat trustworthy in this regard, and besides, they hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time, so the political commissar was relatively at ease.

Of course, this matter wasn't taboo, and it wouldn't really matter if it got out. But the political commissar knew the principle of "it's better to do less than more," so he instructed the regimental commander not to say anything.

You should know that the scoundrel who ruined his whole family did so because he said a few extra words while arguing about his son, which brought disaster upon his family.

Since then, the small square in the military family compound, which was usually a place for people to chat and relax, has become deserted. The gossipy women and wives who used to love to talk nonsense are now afraid to go out! They are afraid that they might say something wrong and cause trouble for their husbands/sons.

Occasionally, someone would approach them enthusiastically and strike up a conversation, prompting suspicion that they might have ulterior motives and be trying to ruin their family. As a result, the relationships between people in the once lively and pleasant family compound became quite delicate.

But this is actually quite good; their ears are much more relaxed when they get home from get off work.
