Chapter 7: Can You Give Me Some Help?

Responsibility?

Hearing these two words, Shen Mingzhi couldn’t help but find it a bit funny.

She was only trying to save her life, bringing the letter that Zhang Ping had asked someone to send to her to seek refuge with the Jiang family. She clearly hadn’t done anything, yet Mother Jiang wanted her to take all the responsibility.

To be honest, she was unwilling.

‘Aunt Jiang, I haven’t done anything. I’m just going to clarify the matter. If it’s not my fault, I can’t admit to it randomly,’ Shen Mingzhi stated clearly.

She looked back at the two children.

In this era where it’s easy to be wrong, she had to cherish and protect her life even more.

However, Shen Mingzhi’s attitude angered Jiang Yinyin.

Jiang Yinyin pointed her finger at Shen Mingzhi’s nose, but before she could scold her, she was pulled aside by Mother Jiang.

Mother Jiang’s sharp eyes swept towards her, and Jiang Yinyin immediately understood and didn’t dare to speak anymore.

Mother Jiang said patiently, ‘Just go and clarify the matter. You are a smart person. If you clarify it, we will all have a way out.’

‘Okay.’

Shen Mingzhi responded softly, and then she slowly rolled over from the bed.

Having just given birth, and to twins, Shen Mingzhi’s body was very weak!

She hated that her movements were as slow as a snail, and she had no strength.

‘Aunt Wang, help her a little. And! Find her a hat!’

Although Mother Jiang didn’t like Shen Mingzhi, she was a woman who had just given birth and was going to the military to help her son and husband. If she didn’t take good care of Shen Mingzhi,

If something happened on the way, or if she was seen by others, she would definitely be criticized.

Since Mother Jiang had ordered it, Aunt Wang immediately followed suit.

She helped Shen Mingzhi and put a hat on her head, and also stuffed cotton in her ears. When they went out, she also wrapped Shen Mingzhi in a military coat.

Mother Jiang instructed Jiang Yinyin, ‘We’ll all go with her. Later, you and Aunt Wang will help her more, and make sure nothing happens to her, do you hear me?’

Mother Jiang patted the back of Jiang Yinyin’s hand, emphasizing her words intentionally. How could Jiang Yinyin dare not listen?

And so, the group arrived at the military headquarters.

Shen Mingzhi used a lot of effort to get to the second floor. There was no elevator at this time, and it exhausted her.

As soon as she reached the door, she heard people talking.

‘Messing around with men and women is a serious crime!’

‘And she’s a martyr’s widow, that’s the most serious crime. If the circumstances are serious, she can be shot directly…’

Martyr’s widow, messing around with men and women, wasn’t that pointing at her and Jiang Shaochen?

Shen Mingzhi couldn’t listen to what they said next, and she rushed in, ‘You can’t just talk nonsense here without investigating clearly. I came here with my husband’s will to ask his comrade-in-arms for help!’

After shouting these words, she took out the will that Zhang Ping had left for her from her pocket.

But before she could show the will to them, Shen Mingzhi felt dizzy and her whole body was floating!

She staggered, but fortunately a pair of strong hands supported her from behind.

It was Jiang Yinyin.

Jiang Yinyin’s tone revealed a bit of displeasure, ‘Shen Mingzhi, can you give it a little effort? Don’t fall down before you’ve even clarified the matter!’

Shen Mingzhi grabbed a chair in front of her to steady herself.

She was a woman who had just given birth to two children, and in her opinion, it was already very helpful for her to stand here.

But now, it wasn’t the time to argue with Jiang Yinyin about these things.

Shen Mingzhi quickly took out Zhang Ping’s will, ‘You just talk about how martyrs’ widows are supposed to be treated, but I haven’t enjoyed the treatment of a widow for a single day!’

No one took the will, so Shen Mingzhi slapped the will on the table.

It was the military’s stationery, and only military personnel had the right to use the military’s stationery.

The two men in military uniforms next to them were dumbfounded!

‘This big sister, sit down and talk slowly.’ One of the men immediately wanted to help Shen Mingzhi sit down, ‘Quickly pour some water for this big sister!’

Another man picked up the thermos and ceramic cup to pour water.

Shen Mingzhi stopped them, ‘I’m not here to drink water. Didn’t you take away Commander Jiang and his son Jiang Shaochen? The Jiang family has taken extra care of me. Even though the eldest son Jiang Shaoan is dead, they are still willing to fulfill their son’s last words to help me. If it weren’t for them this time, I would have died with my children!’

‘The Jiang family sent me to the hospital, signed for me, and took me home to take care of me. What did they do wrong? Why are you going to shoot Jiang Shaochen?’

Shen Mingzhi’s face was dark, and she was extremely indifferent.

The two men looked surprised, ‘We didn’t say we were going to shoot Jiang Shaochen?’

Another man said, ‘This big sister, are you mistaken?’

Mistaken?

Shen Mingzhi didn’t buy it, she grabbed one of the men’s collars, going all out –

‘Didn’t you two just say that messing around with men and women is a serious crime, especially for a martyr’s widow. Isn’t that referring to me and Jiang Shaochen?’

‘The Jiang family just helped me, and they have to suffer such bad luck?’ Shen Mingzhi was very dizzy, but she still held on, ‘According to your logic, will everyone who helps me be so unlucky?’

‘I lost my husband, but my husband sacrificed himself, it’s not my problem. You’re doing this on purpose to spread the rumor that I’m a jinx, and you’re bullying me as a widow!’

Shen Mingzhi’s voice went from angry to choked with tears, accusing them, ‘I just gave birth to a child, and you’re going to treat me like this, isn’t this bullying us orphans and widows with no one to support us! I want to see your leader!’

Shen Mingzhi shouted at the top of her lungs, getting louder and louder.

The two men had never seen anything like this before, and for a moment, they were also in a panic.

At this time, Shen Mingzhi also pulled Jiang Yinyin.

Jiang Yinyin immediately understood and joined the ranks.

“It hasn’t been long since my eldest brother sacrificed himself. Before he died, he told us that if the wife of a comrade-in-arms came to find him, we must take good care of her.”

“My eldest brother is gone, and my second brother thinks that the most important thing in life is loyalty, but he just saw that this Sister Shen was pitiful as an orphan and widow, but you guys are good, you actually used this as an excuse to arrest my brother and father!”

‘Everyone says that the military and the people are of one heart, but I think someone is deliberately trying to kill my brother!’

‘The Jiang family is my great benefactor. If my great benefactor has an accident because of me, I will never be at peace in my life. Then I might as well run over and kill myself in your office!’

With Shen Mingzhi’s deliberate momentum and Jiang Yinyin’s cooperation, the entire building was filled with their crying.

The two men had a big headache.

Finally, the leader was alarmed.

As soon as the leader entered the door, he saw Shen Mingzhi and Jiang Yinyin crying and wailing.

What he didn’t expect was that as soon as Shen Mingzhi saw the badge and shoulder badge on his chest, she rushed towards him, ‘Are you the leader?’

‘I am.’

The leader saw Shen Mingzhi, wearing a hat and cotton in her ears, she was a woman who had just given birth.

A woman who had just given birth actually had so much strength?

Shen Mingzhi quickly came to the leader, ‘Jiang Shaochen…'”
