MWSB -Chapter 14 Liu Qingyue: “Then Find Me a Husband!”

Liu Qingyue’s tearful complaint aroused the sympathy of quite a few
people.

Liu Wanwan was dumbfounded.

She had thought that after Liu Qingyue was falsely accused, she would definitely
become anxious and start stumbling over her words. Then Liu Wanwan would be able to manipulate her.

As long as she insisted that the two of them had some kind of relationship, the
matter between herself and Zhou Heshan would surely be forgotten by everyone.

After all, Lu Fengting’s rank was higher than Zhou Heshan’s.

The higher the position, the longer people would gossip about it!

Who could have imagined that Liu Qingyue’s way of dealing with it would be so
simple and brutal—she simply started crying?

“My stepmother took my father away from me, and I was left all alone.
That’s why I thought I’d come all the way to the island to join the troops…” Liu
Qingyue sobbed for several seconds before continuing. “Who would have thought that the younger sister
my stepmother brought into the family would even steal my fiancé from me!”

“Why is my life so miserable? I’m just too pitiful!”

“I might as well find a river and drown myself. If I’d known this would
happen, I would have rather had the deputy regiment commander not saved me back then. I ended up being
falsely accused like this! I should just go die… You saved me for nothing, and now I’ve even
damaged your reputation…”

Liu Qingyue was quite good at acting.

After hearing those words, the military wives also felt that Liu Wanwan was
absolutely disgusting.

Many of them had also come from distant mountain villages to accompany their husbands
stationed with the army, and things like this happened frequently in their villages as well.

Stepmothers would mistreat their stepdaughters while treating their own biological
daughters better.

But who would have thought that someone would even try to steal another woman’s
marriage arrangement?

Everyone hurried forward to comfort Liu Qingyue.

Seeing Liu Qingyue crying like this, Zhou Heshan became extremely impatient.

“Can you stop crying? You keep going on and on about how miserable you are.
Aren’t you just trying to get comfort and sympathy? I never imagined you were this kind of
person!”

Zhou Heshan was still speaking when several military wives had already turned around
and spat toward him.

“You were the one who wronged this young woman first, and now you’re
actually trying to turn around and blame her? Aren’t you ashamed?”

“The leaders should deal with this properly. Someone like you doesn’t
deserve to be a deputy battalion commander at all!”

The military wives were extremely agitated, while Liu Qingyue sat on the ground
wiping away her tears.

“Half a month ago, I went home to visit my family. On the way back, I heard
that someone had fallen into a lake, so I jumped in and rescued them. I never expected that saving this
female comrade would cause her so much pressure.”

Lu Fengting straightened his body.

“Just now, I said that your conduct is extremely inappropriate. This matter
must be reported to our superiors. We’ll go together right now, and I’ll take this opportunity
to explain my own situation to the higher-ups as well.”

He would not cover up for anyone, and he would make sure to explain the entire course
of events.

After hearing those words, Zhou Heshan was completely speechless.

With an ugly expression on his face, he walked a few steps in one direction, then
remembered that Liu Wanwan was still behind him. He turned around and left with her.

“Young lady, come with me as well. Trust us—the higher-ups will
definitely give you a reasonable explanation.”

After saying this to Liu Qingyue, Lu Fengting got up from the ground and followed
behind him to find the regimental commander.

After walking a few steps, Liu Qingyue turned around and looked at the military wives
who had spoken up for her just now.

“Thank you, sisters-in-law, for standing up for me.”

After saying that, she even gave them a deep bow before running after Lu Fengting and
catching up with him.

Once she left, the military wives began whispering among themselves.

“This young girl really is a good person. She’s polite, and she’s
so pretty, too.”

“It’s a pity that her life is so miserable. She thought she’d found
someone she could rely on, but she never expected him to hurt her so badly. What a sin!”

“Her younger sister isn’t a good person either. She knew perfectly well
that her sister and brother-in-law had an engagement, yet she still went and seduced him!”

“Flies don’t land on an egg with no cracks!”

“I hope things work out for them after they leave this time. That girl has
suffered enough already!”

The group went together to see the brigade commander.

The brigade commander had already heard from his guard about what had happened over
there. He was still furious in his office, thinking that these people had simply gone too far.

Although their navy had been training on the island all this time and information was
relatively hard to come by, something like this could not possibly be kept completely under wraps. If word
got out, wouldn’t that be terribly embarrassing?

He had been planning to find them and have a talk with them later, but he hadn’t
expected them to come to him first.

“Come in.”

At the brigade commander’s words, the group entered his office.

Once inside, they lined up and stood at attention. Liu Wanwan was still sniffling and
sobbing, but after Zhou Heshan tugged at her, she finally stopped crying.

After making sure everyone was standing properly, the brigade commander said,
“I’ve already gotten a basic understanding of what happened earlier. Now, tell me exactly what
happened.”

“Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou, you go first.”

There was naturally nothing Zhou Heshan could hide in front of the brigade commander,
so he could only explain the situation truthfully. Of course, he left out the part about how he and Liu
Wanwan had gotten involved with each other first.

He simply said that Liu Wanwan was already carrying his child, so she wanted to
change the marriage arrangement between the two families so that she would marry him instead of Liu
Qingyue.

Things had already reached this point, so his marriage to Liu Wanwan had to go
through.

After all, the matter of the child had already come to light.

The brigade commander listened to the entire story and then sighed.

“This really is your fault. From the very beginning, you should have made the
engagement clear to the female comrade.”

Zhou Heshan curled his lips.

The Liu Qingyue of the past had insisted on clinging to him. If he’d dared to
tell her the truth back then, who knew what kind of trouble she would have caused?

The brigade commander stopped looking at Zhou Heshan and turned his attention to Liu
Qingyue beside him.

“I’ve gotten a clear understanding of the situation. Deputy Battalion
Commander Zhou is indeed at fault here. Comrade, how do you want to resolve this matter?”

“Now that there’s already a child, we can’t make them get rid of it. So
we’ll have to find another way to resolve this. As long as your solution isn’t based on those
things, tell me. I’ll make the decision for you.”

Liu Qingyue wasn’t dissatisfied with what the brigade commander said.

After all, she had played a part in stirring up trouble too. Yet the brigade
commander hadn’t criticized her and had even asked her how she wanted to resolve the matter. That was
already quite considerate of him.

When Liu Wanwan heard the brigade commander’s words, she really wanted to speak
up, but she also knew that he was the highest-ranking officer in the naval unit. If she said something
inappropriate, it could affect Zhou Heshan.

So she could only force herself to swallow her words.

And once she’d held them back, she felt uncomfortable all over!

Liu Qingyue thought for a moment, then lowered her head aggrievedly and began to
sob.

“I came all the way here from thousands of miles away to join the army as a
military spouse. Everyone in my village and all my relatives know about it. If I go home now, I’ll
definitely become a laughingstock!”

Since she’d already come all this way, she didn’t really want to
leave.

Going back to the village and arguing with all those distant aunts and relatives
would be far more troublesome than simply staying here. Besides, after everything she’d experienced in
her previous life, she definitely wouldn’t fall into the same traps again in this life.

“Since the brigade commander asked me how I want to resolve this, then I’d
like to ask the army to help me settle my lifelong marriage. Give me a husband!”

Liu Qingyue blurted it out as though she were throwing a tantrum.
