Chapter 826: Chapter 0826 After New Year’s Day 1

After New Year’s Day, Feng Qingxue received a call from Jiang Xiaoyue.

"Qingxue, everything’s arranged. Just have Lu Tianjun sign up, and as long as he meets the standards, no one’s going to weed him out because of his background," Jiang Xiaoyue’s straightforwardness was just as before, and she couldn’t help but bring up Xibao, "Is Xibao with you? Let him talk to me, even if he can’t crawl through the phone, it’s okay."

Feng Qingxue chuckled, "Unfortunately, Xibao and Fubao are both not by my side."

Jiang Xiaoyue was taken aback, then slapped her forehead, "Right, it’s Sunday today. I’m calling from my dad’s place. Did Big Brother Lu take the kids out to play?" That would explain why the two kids weren’t with Feng Qingxue.

Feng Qingxue was especially fond of children, she simply couldn’t bear to let them out of her sight for a moment.

"Xiaoyue, I’ve just discovered today that you’re quite smart!" Feng Qingxue laughed.

"I’ve always been very wise and brave!" Jiang Xiaoyue was anything but modest, then she lowered her voice, "By the way, Qingxue, I have to tell you something, whether you want to tell the person involved, that’s up to you and Big Brother Lu."

When Feng Qingxue asked what it was, Jiang Xiaoyue covered her mouth with her hand and spoke into the receiver, "It’s about Chen Chen. Remember Bai Xue said that Chen Chen borrowed fifty yuan from her? At the time, because Bai Xue was there, Sister Fengying and I didn’t say anything, but after that, did I tell you about the disgusting things Chen Chen did when she returned to the Capital?"

"No, what did Chen Chen do?" Feng Qingxue asked. If Jiang Xiaoyue called it disgusting, could it be a matter of a relationship between a man and a woman?

Jiang Xiaoyue hummed in affirmation, "You told us that the informant for that inspection was Chen Chen. We were so annoyed with her, we kept our distance and didn’t mingle too much. She just brought it upon herself."

"What did she do?" Suddenly using the term "brought it upon herself" seemed serious.

"Chen Chen borrowed fifty yuan from Bai Xue. She didn’t dare to go to the hospital for an abortion and found some midwife from who knows where. She drank a decoction made with safflower provided by the midwife, gave thirty yuan to her, and sure enough, she had a miscarriage. Luckily for her, Chen Chen was fine, and with the remaining twenty yuan, she recuperated for a month or so, then hooked up with that commissar, only to be caught by his wife. But the commissar’s wife didn’t dare to make it public, fearing it would affect her husband’s career. Instead, she targeted Chen Chen everywhere, causing nothing but turmoil. Many people are laughing at Colonel Wan Xinguo, who’s stationed far away, oblivious to the green hat on his head. Hearing this makes me feel disgusted. Colonel Wan is stationed at the border, and it’s incredibly unfair that he ends up with such a result!"

Although Wan Xinguo was older and Chen Chen younger, and they weren’t well-matched in appearance, no one had forced Chen Chen to marry Wan Xinguo. When the military arranged marriages for female soldiers, they mostly did so with the women’s consent, without pressuring them, and even gave them room to choose their own husbands—many had chosen their own husbands.

Weren’t there many young women in the arts troupe who hadn’t married? Jiang Xiaoyue was one of them, so was Tao Zhenzhen.

Feng Qingxue thought Chen Chen must have something wrong with her head. She knew well how important men’s and women’s conduct was in that era. She had previously reported someone for this very reason, leading to people in the arts troupe being disciplined and now looked down upon, yet she herself was messing around after getting married.

Was that commissar any younger than Wan Xinguo? Probably not?

To be a military region’s commissar, one would only be older, not younger, than Wan Xinguo.
