A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

From his leader's words, Song Wenyuan knew that he had already read the contents of the letter, so he opened the envelope in his office.

The letter begins with information about the wife's ancestors three generations back, and includes the official seals of the neighborhood committee, workplace, and police station.

Then came the wife's own situation, which was recorded on several large pages.

Seeing that Song Wenyuan was reading slowly, Li Bowen couldn't help but remind her, "The background check for military dependents isn't usually that strict. As long as her work unit and neighborhood committee stamp it to prove that her background is fine, that's enough. I called them and asked them to check it carefully."

Song Wenyuan did not reply, but continued reading the contents of the letter.

The first page is a resume of my wife from childhood to adulthood: elementary school, junior high school, dropping out of high school in the second year to take over my parents' work... Each item has a corresponding stamp.

However, when he turned to the second page and saw that his wife had given her job to her younger sister, his pupils suddenly contracted.

After his wife gave birth, his family wrote to him about it, so in addition to the fixed ten yuan every month, he would often ask someone to send some supplements back home. However, his family never mentioned that his wife had given up her job, and he always thought that his wife had a salary.

Song Wenyuan continued reading and saw that his sister had taken the house allocated to his parents-in-law by the factory to get married, while his wife's household registration had been transferred to the brigade where his family lived... His face grew darker and darker.

Some of the sheets of paper did not contain the documents required for the military dependent application, but rather information that the investigators themselves obtained during their visits to the village.

The text describes how his wife was mistreated by her husband's family after giving birth to their daughter, how his daughter was bullied in the village, and how his wife, who used to work in a textile factory, couldn't even afford a penny for her daughter's medical expenses when she almost died from a head injury.

His sister collected the money he sent home every month, and he thought it was because his wife was kind-hearted and used the money to support his mother-in-law.

So after his wife and daughter arrived here, he still had the ten yuan sent back as usual, as a filial offering to his parents.

The results of it?

They took over his wife's job while she was pregnant, and their savings were probably emptied in various ways, otherwise how could they have ended up in such a state?

It was at the moment her daughter nearly died that the wife finally snapped out of her silence and went to town to get back the money her sister had promised to subsidize her.

His sister was unwilling to give up, so she brought her brother-in-law back to the village and caused a scene. The incident ended with mediation by the brigade leader and the village party secretary. The letter of introduction for his wife was also issued by the brigade after this mediation.

As the second child in the family, Song Wenyuan was always the least noticed one.

So after graduating from junior high school, when his parents expressed their unwillingness to support his continued education, he resolutely chose to join the army.

Although he was neglected by his parents during those years, they still raised him to adulthood, so he has always been grateful.

He knew his parents always favored his eldest brother and his brother's son. He didn't mind sharing some of the things he sent back with the eldest son's family. But he never expected that they would be so biased, so biased that they would turn their backs on his own daughter and refuse to help her when she was in danger.

She's their own niece and granddaughter!

Everyone says that people are made of flesh and blood, how could they be so cruel?

Everyone assumed that the wife had come to the military base with the children because she wanted to live a better life with him. But after getting back what was rightfully hers, she only wanted to come to the base to divorce him.

Song Wenyuan didn't know what emotions he was feeling right now. There was pity for what his wife and daughter had suffered over the years, anger at being deceived by his family, and heartache at how they had tormented his wife and daughter.

They say you have to consider the owner before beating a dog. He sends money back home every month, and that's how they treat his wife and daughter.

Seeing the silent Song Wenyuan, Li Bowen stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him, "The border conflict is tense, this isn't your fault..."

Song Wenyuan interrupted his superior: "This is my mistake! Even if I didn't have time to go back, I should have given them enough attention in the letter. If I had done that, my family would never have dared to treat them like that."

Thinking of his wife's resolute words today, Song Wenyuan's heart was bleeding.

Li Bowen naturally knew that his subordinate was right. If Song Wen had given the mother and daughter enough attention on a regular basis, his family would not have treated his wife and daughter this way. He was just trying to comfort them.

His subordinates were not the type to shirk responsibility, but Comrade Anning seemed to have a strong personality.

Their relationship is likely to be a long and arduous one.

He really just said it casually on the warship that day, but he actually came true.

Thinking of this, Li Bowen sighed deeply, walked to the window, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Let's go through the procedures for accompanying the military first."

Aren't you worried that she'll insist on divorcing you?

“If we don’t follow the military dependents’ procedure, she’ll have to leave the military by next month at the latest. I won’t even be able to see her then. How can I find a way to make amends?”

"True," Li Bowen exhaled a puff of smoke. "And then?"

"Use Chen Hai's identity to win her back."

"Cough cough cough cough!" Li Bowen choked on a puff of smoke. "She doesn't even know Chen Hai is you. Aren't you breaking up a military marriage?"

Song Wenyuan said matter-of-factly, "Otherwise what? Tell her my identity and then let her bring her daughter and file for divorce? Besides, me pursuing my own wife is not only not breaking up a military marriage, but actually protecting one. If I didn't pursue her, this family would fall apart!"

Li Bowen had nothing to say to his twisted logic: "If you want to do it, then do it. Just don't come looking for me when you can't cover it up later."

"This is my own family matter. Even if I can't handle it, I won't come to you."

"Just remember what you said." Li Bowen stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. "Speaking of which, your wife's award is coming soon. We were originally planning to do it together with your medal conferment. But now that you've caused this mess, you can forget about participating."

"Logically speaking, I should be lying in a hospital bed right now, waiting for you to award me the medal."

"You know you should be in bed, right?"

Song Wenyuan chuckled but didn't say anything.

"Alright, I'll handle this for you. But let me tell you a secret, your wife's reward this time is no small matter. If you don't hurry up and win her back, the others might really make their move."

"What reward?"

"The document hasn't been stamped yet, so you can't know that."

Song Wenyuan: "..."

After leaving Li Bowen's office, Song Wenyuan went to the logistics department immediately and stopped sending the ten-yuan allowance back to his hometown.

He had been away on missions, and he always asked his comrades in the logistics department to help him send money home.

Since he has been sending money back home for so many years, and his family still refuses to help his daughter in her time of need, and torments his wife, then there is no need for him to continue sending money.

In addition, he wrote a letter back home, unilaterally informing his family of the matter.

This way, they won't have to go to the post office if they suddenly don't receive their money, and it will also help them get justice for their wife and daughter.
