Jiang Yao agreed with what Battalion Commander Zhu said. Besides, it was fine if they were abducted and sold to other families as foster children, but those who had their limbs broken and crippled by human traffickers and had to beg for money were the truly pitiful ones.
Battalion Commander Zhu and Company Commander Yang still had other matters to attend to, so they parted ways after a short conversation. When she got home, the first thing Jiang Yao did was to hide something in her backpack. She had been stuck with Lu Xingzhi almost 24/7 when she returned to her hometown, so she didn't have time to do it at all.
Seeing that Lu Xingzhi's birthday was in a few days, Jiang Yao was really afraid that she wouldn't have enough time, so she spent the next few days folding paper cranes whenever she had time.
Lu Xingzhi had returned to his hometown for three days and finally coaxed his wife, who was about to divorce him, back to him. This news spread like wildfire in the army. Those who had spoken ill of Jiang Yao in private didn't dare to say a word after Jiang Yao returned to the army. Some people even avoided Jiang Yao the moment they saw her, afraid that Jiang Yao would settle accounts with them in the future.
When Battalion Commander He found out that Jiang Yao had returned, he brought his wife and mother-in-law to the Lu residence that night. Battalion Commander He's mother-in-law was also a person who doted on her daughter and son-in-law. When she found out that her mother-in-law had caused such a big commotion in the army, she rushed over to the army before the New Year to take care of her pregnant daughter.
As long as it wasn't Old Madam He, Jiang Yao didn't give Battalion Commander He and his family any face when she saw them. Lu Xingzhi's reaction was still very cold. He sat on the sofa and cast a glance at the people who came in. He didn't stand up.
After Battalion Commander He came in, he wasn't in a hurry to speak to Lu Xingzhi. Instead, he apologized to Jiang Yao. "My mother was the one who thought she was right when she heard about what happened and wrote a report. Then, she spread the news everywhere. I'm very sorry. It was my negligence and I didn't find out in time to stop it. I don't know how to apologize for causing you harm."
To be honest, Battalion Commander He was a very honest person. The moment he came in, he didn't rush to speak to Lu Xingzhi. Whether it was because he was smarter than the average person or because he sincerely understood that Jiang Yao was the one who had been hurt the most, his words and sincere apology made Jiang Yao feel a little better.
"Come in and have a cup of tea." Now that Jiang Yao felt better, she was more tolerant of people. She smiled at Battalion Commander He's wife. Seeing that Battalion Commander He's complexion had improved over the past two days, she knew that Battalion Commander He's life would be much better if someone else took care of her.
Battalion Commander He probably felt Jiang Yao's kindness and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he held his pregnant wife's hand and led her into the house.
"Company Commander Lu's wife, I'm Xiao Liang's mother. What happened before must have affected you greatly, right? In the end, it's the He family's fault for this matter. When you weren't back yet, we were especially worried. We even discussed going to your hometown in a few days to personally apologize to you. Now that we see that you and Company Commander Lu are fine, we're relieved. "
"Let bygones be bygones. Let's not talk about it anymore." Jiang Yao personally poured a cup of tea for the three of them. Although Lu Xingzhi didn't say anything, Jiang Yao could tell from Lu Xingzhi's attitude that Lu Xingzhi wasn't going to continue pursuing the He family's responsibility.
