Chapter 576: Chapter 0576 Collective Wedding 2_1

They didn’t have a supporter like Bai Xue, and even Bai Xue, who did have one, had to obey orders and marry Su Junlin. What about them, without power or prestige, burdened with reprimands and a bad reputation, left isolated? Not everyone has the courage to face an old man with wrinkled skin and grey hair after marriage, even if that old man has power and prestige that others admire.

Jin Zhuzhu and Du Xiaotao had no other wishes except to find a revolutionary companion who could overlook their past. They were willing to wholeheartedly advance and retreat with their revolutionary comrades.

"There’s nothing wrong with their character, I’ve known them for several years now. They both come from good, respectable families. Jin Zhuzhu’s father is a secretary in their county committee while Du Xiaotao’s father is a deputy regiment leader in the Capital Military Region," Fang Ning said, "Du Xiaotao fell in love with a male soldier in the cultural troupe. The young people, they inevitably exchanged love letters secretly. Since they couldn’t be alone in the troupe, and had no chance to speak out, they wrote their feelings down in letters. The two didn’t go public, it was the man who wasn’t willing to, saying he didn’t want others to gossip, to suggest he was interested in Du Xiaotao because of her family background. After they were found out, the man put all the blame on Du Xiaotao, saying she was using her father’s position to pester him and he had no choice but to reply to her letters. If he didn’t, Du Xiaotao threatened to expose their affair, using her father to have him expelled from the cultural troupe."

At this point, Fang Ning, her face full of disgust, described how after so many years of performing together in the cultural troupe, she hadn’t realized his despicable character. He was truly shameless for blaming Du Xiaotao when it was clear he was the one to pursue her first. Everyone knew the truth, but hadn’t spoken out.

But what does it matter if all the blame fell on Du Xiaotao? He was also punished, and lost Du Xiaotao in the process, proving that a loss outweighs a gain.

Feng Qingxue had never expected the two female soldiers to have such prestigious backgrounds. Considering that those who appealed to her, like Sang Hong and Han Ping, were all from ordinary peasant families, she honestly told Fang Ning, "All of them are of good character. They are not as prestigious as Comrades Jin Zhuzhu and Du Xiaotao but, if they’re willing to meet with me, they can notify Zheng and arrange for them to meet. However, they have made it clear that they do not care about past circumstances or any punitive actions in consideration for their future lives."

Fang Ning nodded and said: "What use is there in coming from a good background? If the character is not upright, no matter how good the background is, it won’t work! The fact that they don’t mind Jin Zhuzhu and Du Xiaotao’s current disciplinary actions shows that they are a hundred times better than Li Tielin."

Li Tielin happened to be Du Xiaotao’s love interest.

Good name, low character.

"What is the situation with Jin Zhuzhu? I need to clear this up with the brothers in advance," Feng Qingxue asked, realizing the importance of complete transparency in matters of the heart. Once the truth becomes known after marriage, misunderstanding may arise, which could in turn affect revolutionary sentiments.

"Jin Zhuzhu," Fang Ning hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Her situation is even harder than Du Xiaotao’s. While Du Xiaotao and Li Tielin simply exchanged love letters and confessions, the content in Jin Zhuzhu’s letters was more explicit. The person in question is Mr. Lin, a well-respected singing teacher of ours and is actually the one who pursued Jin Zhuzhu when she was just fifteen. He told Jin Zhuzhu that he planned on divorcing his talentless wife who failed to connect with him and then become Jin Zhuzhu’s revolutionary partner."
