Chapter 2 Going to Settle Accounts with the Army
Seeing Wenrou leave without looking back, He Cuihua quickly reacted and shouted towards the door, "Wenrou, come back here! The army is not a place for a woman like you. If you go there, you will ruin Dayong's future."
Unfortunately, no matter how much she called out, Wenrou seemed determined and completely ignored her.
"Old Zhou, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and send a telegram to Dayong, saying that Wenrou has gone to the army to find him." Seeing that she couldn't stop Wenrou, He Cuihua quickly shouted at Zhou Manfu.
At this point, Zhou Chunmei also started to panic.
"Mom, what should we do? My older brother is getting married in the army in a few days. If Wenrou goes there now, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."
He Cuihua was startled when she thought about the gentle change in her demeanor and what she had said.
"Do you think she might already know what we did to her?"
Zhou Chunmei's expression changed slightly, but she quickly denied it, "Impossible. Only our family knows what happened that night. Even my eldest brother doesn't know. If we don't tell her, how could she possibly know?"
"Could it be that spy?" He Cuihua thought of the strange man again at this moment.
A few days before Zhou Dayong and Wenrou got married, the village suddenly caught a spy who was seriously injured and unconscious. So the village secretary had him carried to a small house next to the granary and locked up.
They didn't want Dayong and Wenrou to get married in the first place, so they came up with this idea.
As long as the news that Wenrou was slept with by a spy gets out, it will make her and the Zhou family unable to hold their heads up in the village. At that time, they will be able to do whatever they want to her.
The Zhou family did indeed plan very well, but they didn't expect that the gentleness they knew now was no longer the same gentleness they used to be.
"No matter what she knows, the most important thing now is to stop her from ruining my brother's good deed. I heard that the new sister-in-law is a city girl from Beijing and knows people in the military region. She can pave the way for my brother's future development in the army. What is that bitch Wenrou?" Zhou Chunmei covered her face and said fiercely.
"Yes, yes, I've already had your dad send a telegram. Once your older brother sees it, he'll figure something out."
Since Wenrou's reputation is already ruined, if she dares to cause trouble at the military region, everyone will know that she has an immoral lifestyle and slept with other men before she was even married.
Thinking about this, they weren't so worried anymore.
After leaving the Zhou family, Wenrou walked all the way to the town and bought a train ticket to Ning City.
She remembered that Zhou Dayong's unit was located in the Northwest, which was quite far from where they were; it would take three days to get there by train.
She took out the money she had brought from the Zhou family and roughly counted it; the various tickets added up to about a hundred yuan.
I took out a few dollars and bought some biscuits and canned goods, planning to eat them if I got hungry on the train.
With the remaining money, she found a place and secretly sewed it into the innermost part of her clothes, just in case she was robbed on the train.
After preparing her things, Wenrou waited for a while and then saw the train arrive. She was pushed onto the train by the crowd.
She held something in one hand and instinctively protected her stomach with the other.
Although she was reluctant to accept it, she was now more than three months pregnant with the child of the spy she had never met.
In her past life, the doctor said she was pregnant with twins, but in the end, in order to support the Zhou family, she did heavy work all day long, and her nutrition was not up to par, so she still couldn't keep the babies.
At that time, she also felt that the child was not meant to be with her. Even if she gave birth to the child, she would never be able to hold her head up in the village for the rest of her life because her biological father was a spy.
But now, she feels that since she has a second chance, these two children are a gift from God. No matter who their biological father is, she will give birth to them and raise them well.
She bought a sleeper berth, and after boarding the train, she found her seat, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
Meanwhile, on the military region side, Zhou Dayong's telegram was intercepted.
"Commander Huo, this is a telegram from Zhou Dayong's hometown."
The man glanced at the contents of the telegram, his face cold and serious. "Regardless of where the telegram came from, to prevent spies from infiltrating, from now on, hand it over to the intelligence department first. Only proceed with further processing after confirming there are no problems."
"Yes."
Since that incident three months ago, the whole country is cracking down on espionage, and they dare not relax their efforts in the slightest.
So Zhou Dayong was unaware that the urgent telegram that was supposed to be delivered to him had been sent to the intelligence department first.
He knew that Wenrou would willingly sign the annulment letter he sent back, so he never expected anything unexpected to happen.
Five days later, the news that he was going to get married in the military had already spread throughout the military region, and the family compound of the military unit was filled with joy.
Wenrou took a train for three days, then changed to a tractor and two oxcarts along the way, finally arriving at the town closest to the army base on the afternoon of the fourth day.
As it was getting late, she found a guesthouse in town and stayed there for the night.
The next morning, before dawn, Wenrou got up, packed her things, and headed to the 431 border defense unit where Zhou Dayong was stationed.
Located in the Gobi Desert, the wind and sand here are so strong that people can't open their eyes.
Wenrou walked for about three or four hours before finally arriving at her destination at dawn.
However, she was stopped by a guard as soon as she arrived at the entrance of the military family compound.
Upon seeing this, Wenrou quickly explained the situation.
"Comrade, I am a family member of Zhou Dayong. I need to speak with him."
Everyone in the military region knew that today was Zhou Dayong's wedding day, so when they heard that she was Zhou Dayong's family member, they assumed that she had come from her hometown to attend the wedding. After checking her identity and confirming that there were no problems, they let her in.
As Wenrou entered the family compound, she heard a series of firecrackers going off in the yard.
"Someone's getting married?" Wenrou looked surprised, and subconsciously moved to the side, thinking that the accounting was not urgent and she shouldn't disturb the newlyweds.
She saw the newlyweds emerge from the house amidst cheers and applause, their faces beaming with happiness.
It was at this moment that she finally saw the faces of the two newlyweds clearly. The bride was wearing a red wedding dress and looked very beautiful, and the groom... was none other than her fiancé, Zhou Dayong!
At this moment, Zhou Dayong was wearing a crisp green military uniform, his hair was combed smoothly and shiny, and he was smiling with a smug look on his face.
She knew that Zhou Dayong had gotten married and had children while in the army, but she didn't know that his wedding day was today.
