Chapter 144 Zhou Dayong Kneels and Begs for Forgiveness
"Qingshuang, how could this happen? How could Dayong desert?" He Cuihua asked with a worried expression.
Shen Qingshuang was also stunned when she heard the news. She frowned and shook her head, saying, "I don't know either. Dayong is definitely innocent. He was supposed to be rewarded for his service, how could he be a deserter?"
The news that Zhou Dayong had deserted has now spread throughout the compound, and everyone knows it.
Shen Qingshuang watched as Huo Yanchuan returned safely, but her husband Dayong was labeled a deserter by him. There must be something fishy going on here.
"No, I have to go find Huo Yanchuan and ask him for the answers." After saying that, Shen Qingshuang rushed out and headed straight for Wenrou's house.
At this moment, Huo Yanchuan and Wenrou had just arrived home. Before the young couple could even have a proper chat, Shen Qingshuang's voice came from outside.
"Huo Yanchuan, what makes you think my Dayong is a deserter? How could Dayong possibly be a deserter? Explain yourself!"
Upon hearing the sound, Huo Yanchuan frowned.
Wenrou followed behind Huo Yanchuan and they walked out together.
"Shen Qingshuang, why did Zhou Dayong desert? Go ask him! What's with all this crazy behavior coming here?" Wenrou looked at Shen Qingshuang and said coldly.
Is Shen Qingshuang out of her mind? The news that Zhou Dayong was a deserter has not only spread throughout the compound, but now even the General Military Region knows about it.
Instead of making a scene here, she should think more about what to do.
Shen Qingshuang stared at Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan; of course, she didn't believe it.
"My Dayong could never be a deserter, unless someone is trying to frame him. Huo Yanchuan, do you really think no one knows what you've done?"
Shen Qingshuang looked at Huo Yanchuan. She had originally planned to wait for Zhou Dayong to return before reporting that Huo Yanchuan was a spy, but now that Zhou Dayong was in trouble, she couldn't wait any longer.
"I really don't know what I did?" Huo Yanchuan sneered disdainfully.
He didn't take Shen Qingshuang's words seriously, nor did he think he had any leverage over her.
Wenrou frowned slightly when she heard Shen Qingshuang's words, but she suddenly remembered Shen Qingshuang's trip back to the countryside some time ago, and she had some guesses in her mind.
Sure enough, after hearing Huo Yanchuan's words, Shen Qingshuang loudly proclaimed in front of them, "Huo Yanchuan, no one in our compound knows you're a spy, right?"
At this moment, everyone else in the courtyard heard the noise and came over.
Everyone was shocked to hear Shen Qingshuang's words.
"What? Commander Huo is a spy? How is that possible?"
"Yes, how could he possibly be a spy?"
"If he were a spy, how could the military not have found out?"
Upon hearing Shen Qingshuang's words, Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan exchanged a glance.
Unexpectedly, after Shen Qingshuang went back to her hometown and investigated for a long time, all she found out was this matter?
Wenrou found it amusing. "Shen Qingshuang, you need evidence to support your claim. What makes you think my man is a spy?"
Shen Qingshuang knew that Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan would not admit it so easily, so she pointed to the child that Wang Saozi was holding behind Wenrou.
"These two children are Huo Yanchuan's offspring, the ones you had with that spy in the countryside. You two were already having an affair when Huo Yanchuan was still a spy. Wenrou, do you dare deny it? The spy that Dayong and his villagers arrested back then was Huo Yanchuan."
Shen Qingshuang believed she had gathered enough evidence, and she had already sent He Cuihua to take the evidence to Political Commissar Zhao.
Once Huo Yanchuan's identity is revealed, let's see if they can still be so calm.
Wenrou took the child from Wang's arms, looked at Shen Qingshuang, smiled and said, "I really have to thank the Zhou family, otherwise I wouldn't have met Huo Yanchuan so quickly, and I wouldn't have been able to have his child."
"You..." Shen Qingshuang did not expect Wenrou to react like this.
However, at this moment she suddenly realized something.
"So you're admitting that the person that night was Huo Yanchuan?"
However, she didn't expect Wenrou to admit it so easily.
Huo Yanchuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing Wenrou's gentle words.
He looked at Wenrou with a complicated expression. What happened that night was something neither of them wanted to bring up.
He originally thought that Wenrou was still bothered by it, after all, they had almost divorced because of it before.
But he never expected that Wenrou would say it so calmly and naturally in front of Shen Qingshuang and so many people in the compound.
"Why wouldn't I dare to admit it? He is now my husband and the biological father of my two children. I not only admit it, but I am also very grateful that it was him that night."
Just as Wenrou finished speaking, He Cuihua led Political Commissar Zhao and Zhou Dayong into the family compound.
The gentle voice, neither too loud nor too soft, reached Zhou Dayong and He Cuihua's ears at the same time.
Zhou Dayong stood there, looking at Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan in disbelief.
"Xiaorou, what did you mean by what you just said? You said the person that night was Huo Yanchuan? He's the biological father of your two children? He's the spy the villagers arrested?"
Zhou Dayong didn't want to believe what he was hearing. He looked agitated and couldn't accept the fact.
He Cuihua's eyes widened when she heard this. She hadn't expected that the man was actually Wenrou's current husband.
How could all of this be such a coincidence?
"Yes, if it weren't for your Zhou family drugging us and trying to bring us together, I wouldn't have ended up marrying Huo Yanchuan by some twist of fate. He is the biological father of my child." Wenrou looked at Zhou Dayong with a mocking smile on her face.
"In that case, I really have to thank your Zhou family. Because of this incident, I saw your family's true colors and found my own happiness."
Wenrou had never felt so free and at ease before. Talking about these things made her feel much more relaxed and cheerful.
"No...it's impossible, how could it be Huo Yanchuan?" Zhou Dayong still couldn't accept this fact.
Wenrou should have been his fiancée. If it weren't for this incident, she and Huo Yanchuan would never have had any connection.
"Zhou Dayong, look at yourself! How did you end up like this? A deserter! Do you even deserve the uniform you wear?"
Looking at Zhou Dayong now, Wenrou really couldn't understand why she had to marry him in the first place.
She still remembers those things from her past life clearly. This time, Zhou Dayong will pay the price for his actions.
"Xiaorou, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Can you give me another chance? I really know I was wrong. I can't live without you. We used to love each other so much. I know you still have feelings for me. Things shouldn't be like this between us."
In front of so many people, Zhou Dayong knelt down directly in front of Wenrou and wept bitterly.
Only now has he truly come to understand his own heart; the only person he loves is still Wenrou.
If that incident hadn't happened, he would probably be married to Wenrou now, have his own children, and be living a happy and fulfilling life.
At this moment, Shen Qingshuang saw Zhou Dayong kneeling in front of Wenrou and angrily went forward to pull his arm.
"Zhou Dayong, what are you doing? I'm your wife, the one you've registered your marriage with! Get up!"
Seeing her husband kneel before another woman was like a public slap in the face for Shen Qingshuang.
Looking at the amused gazes of those around her, she felt she had never been so humiliated before; she had lost all face in this moment.
"Zhou Dayong, you're not just letting me down, you're letting yourself down. You've already destroyed any feelings we had for each other. There's no way I can have you in my heart anymore. I only love my husband and my child now."
Wenrou looked at Zhou Dayong and thought about how he had married Shen Qingshuang in his previous life and lived a happy life in the army. How could he possibly still think about her suffering in the countryside?
The reason he's kneeling down in regret is simply because Shen Qingshuang couldn't give him what he wanted.
"No...it's impossible, I don't believe it." Zhou Dayong couldn't believe it. How could Wenrou not have feelings for him? They used to have such a good relationship.
Shen Qingshuang could no longer hold back. She looked in the direction of Political Commissar Zhao, pointed at Huo Yanchuan and Wenrou, and shouted, "Political Commissar, Huo Yanchuan is a spy, and Wenrou is involved too. You must have them arrested!"
At this moment, Political Commissar Zhao felt a headache coming on as he watched this scene.
He walked over with a cold face, looked at Shen Qingshuang and Zhou Dayong with a serious expression, and angrily rebuked them: "Nonsense."
Political Commissar Zhao originally didn't intend to make this matter public, since it was a misunderstanding that Huo Yanchuan was mistaken for a spy, but this also involved his own private affairs.
But now that he's heard someone bring this up again, if he doesn't explain, Huo Yanchuan will be labeled a spy for life.
He looked at everyone and said, "Who said Huo Yanchuan was a spy? He was caught in the enemy's trap and that's why he was mistaken for a spy. He reported this a long time ago, and the leaders of the General Military Region and I have known about it for a long time."
"How is this possible?" Shen Qingshuang was originally full of confidence, but now she was slapped in the face on the spot and was stunned.
She looked in the direction of Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan and saw that they looked very calm. At this moment, she realized how stupid she had been.
"So...so you were all in cahoots to mess with me?" Shen Qingshuang clenched her fists tightly as she looked at Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan.
She asked Huo Yanchuan unwillingly, "You were perfectly fine back then, so why did you lie to me and say you were infertile? Otherwise, I would never have been able to marry Zhou Dayong."
Huo Yanchuan said expressionlessly, "There was never any possibility between us, and I never even thought about marrying you. Why would I bother lying to you? You think too highly of yourself."
"You..." Shen Qing Shuang's face turned pale with anger upon hearing his words.
At this moment, He Cuihua finally couldn't stand it anymore. What were her son and daughter-in-law doing?
"You all go back now, you've completely disgraced the Zhou family," He Cuihua said, grabbing one person with each hand and preparing to lead them home.
"Wait a minute, Zhou Dayong can't leave," Political Commissar Zhao said at this moment.
"The military hasn't decided how to deal with him yet."
"Sir, my son Dayong would never desert. You must have made a mistake. I'll take him back and question him properly," He Cuihua explained to Political Commissar Zhao.
"How could it not be? Everyone saw it. If Zhou Dayong hadn't deserted, my husband wouldn't have lost a leg. They were comrades-in-arms. He trusted Zhou Dayong so much, but what did Zhou Dayong do at the crucial moment?" Just then, Peng Xiaowan's voice came over.
If we just let Zhou Dayong go back like this, then Hao Gang's leg will have been lost for nothing.
At this point, Peng Xiaowan must seek justice for her husband, and Zhou Dayong must be dealt with seriously.
Seeing Peng Xiaowan, Wenrou also stood by her side and said, "We really can't let this go. Hao Gang not only lost a leg because of him, but he also lost his future and his military career. How can he have the face to go back?"
"Xiaorou, I'm the one who's sorry, it has nothing to do with Dayong. If you're angry, you can take it out on me. Dayong doesn't know anything." He Cuihua had lost her previous arrogance and her tone was pleading.
Zhou Dayong is now the sole breadwinner of their family, and they are counting on him to live a good life.
Her two youngest sons are still young and rely on Zhou Dayong's earnings to support their family, so he absolutely cannot be harmed.
"So it was your husband who caused my son to lose a leg. I trusted you so much, Shen Qingshuang, give me back my son's leg!" At this moment, Ma Qiuying rushed over upon hearing the noise and slapped Shen Qingshuang hard across the face.
She had previously thought Shen Qingshuang meant well, but what had she done under her instigation?
Now she has offended both her son and daughter-in-law and is being sent back to her hometown.
Thinking of this, Ma Qiuying was still not satisfied after slapping Shen Qingshuang, so she pounced on her and grabbed Shen Qingshuang's hair, and they started wrestling.
Ma Qiuying worked on the farm year-round, so she was very strong. Shen Qingshuang couldn't beat her at all and could only take the beating.
Seeing the commotion, Aunt Feng rushed over and pulled them all apart.
"Stop arguing, I accept the military's decision. Mom, Qing Shuang, pack your things and go back to our hometown." Zhou Dayong knew he couldn't escape this time.
Upon hearing that she had to go back to her hometown, Shen Qingshuang simply couldn't accept it.
She married Zhou Dayong because she saw his promising future, but now that his future is gone and he's facing disciplinary action, she doesn't want to go back to his rural hometown with him to suffer.
"Zhou Dayong, let's get a divorce," Shen Qingshuang said at this moment.
Zhou Dayong laughed when he heard her words, laughing so loudly that tears streamed down his face.
He looked at Shen Qingshuang, his eyes filled with hatred.
"If I hadn't listened to you and been so eager to prove myself, how could I have deserted? Shen Qingshuang, if you want a divorce, you can do it in your next life."
His future is ruined, and the culprit is Shen Qingshuang. She can forget about getting rid of him.
