When Qin Zhiyuan left, he did not forget to leave a red envelope for his child. There was not much cash in it, only ten francs.
This is also the upper limit of favor exchanges stipulated by Lan Fang. Any more is considered inappropriate.
At the entrance of the hospital, Qin Zhiyuan met Duke. He had just come out of the police station and now he ran non-stop to the hospital to visit Liu Henshui.
Fortunately, Duke is not Chinese, and he does not have the habit of celebrating the Spring Festival, so it is not unkind to torment him like this.
Westerners are actually very selfish. Including the police station, there are many people who get off work on time at six o'clock in the evening, even if someone reports a crime.
This does fully protect the rights of the police, but it is always a bit inhumane.
Qin Zhiyuan is not prepared to do this in Lanfang, because social functional departments are not ordinary service industries, and it is not appropriate to copy the requirements of ordinary people.
Civil servants must have a spirit of dedication. If they don't have a spirit of dedication, it's better not to humiliate themselves.
Compared to the mutual understanding between Zhang Henshui and his wife, Sergeant Major York was much more emotional. Even when he saw a senior general like Qin Zhiyuan, York had no intention of giving up.
What do I want, my Chinese boy and that bitch die, including that brat, if the neighbors and the police hadn't come quickly enough, they would have paid the price yesterday, and that would have been a reprimand for their behavior.
Undue punishment.
York's emotions were still agitated. The hatred for his wife was a mortal hatred that could not be eliminated so easily.
The damage caused by the world war to people is far more than the superficial ones. The buildings destroyed by the war can be rebuilt, and the economy damaged by the war can be restored, but the damage to people's psychology cannot be compensated. It requires emotional comfort, and it takes a long time.
time.
For York, his emotional world has been destroyed.
Perhaps during those days when he was a prisoner, his love for his family and his care for his wife were his only support.
Now it seems that that weak pillar has collapsed.
York, we are all soldiers, I can understand your mood, and I can also feel your pain, but life will always go on, the past is past, we have to move forward, right? Qin Zhiyuan tried to appease York
mood.
Qin Zhiyuan can understand York's mood very well, but so what?
By some mistake, now that things have evolved to the current situation, it is definitely impossible to go back to the past state, so we can only find ways to resolve the hatred.
Even if we take a step back and say that Zhang Henshui and his wife divorced and went to Lanfang with their children, while Zhang Henshui's wife and York went back to continue their lives, that would not be the best solution. It would bring three people, no, four people,
Including the children, it will bring a long period of pain to the four people.
Qin, I know you are a big shot, and I am very grateful that you can take the time to see me, but I will not forgive that boy and that bitch because of this. Let me be rude, if I were replaced by you, then you would
What do you think York insists on.
York's expression was cold, his heart had been swallowed up by pain, and he could not listen to any persuasion.
It is very dangerous if this kind of emotion continues to spread, and it may lead to anger on others because it cannot be vented in time. This is how many violent incidents endangering public safety occur.
York, I have seen your performance on the front line. You are a very good guy, brave in battle, and not afraid of life and death. So now, when your life is facing another battlefield test, why can't you be equally brave? Qin Zhiyuan
Decided to take drastic measures.
York's behavior is actually fear.
Fear of an uncertain future, fear of no one caring, fear of a life without love.
In fact, for York, even without that unhappy marriage, he can start another love life. The experience on the battlefield shows that York is not a weak person.
But at the same time, York is also an extremely selfish person.
Such people can't stand the indifference of others. They are usually good at using violence to solve problems, which is why he beat his wife before. So when York came home and saw what his home was like, he lost control of his emotions.
Not being brave is a dishonorable act. I will always be fearless. Of course York will not admit it.
So what is your behavior now? When a woman no longer loves you, you persist in pestering her. No matter if you love her or hate her, you have no right to do so. You asked me just now, if such a thing happens
What should I do about me? So now that you know how to put yourself in my shoes, if you were your wife, what would you do after hearing the news of your husband's death? Is it because Qin Zhiyuan gave a fatal blow to a dead person to keep his integrity for the rest of his life?
hit.
Hearing Qin Zhiyuan's question, York was dumbfounded for a while, and then he asked Ai Ai: At least she should confirm
This is strong rhetoric. Qin Zhiyuan took advantage of the victory to pursue: Confirmation: The war is raging, thousands of miles apart, life or death is uncertain. How can you ask a woman to confirm that you are a soldier? Then you should know that on the battlefield, many times it is impossible to confirm, such as those directly hit by artillery shells.
The person who was hit and whose limbs were broken, even if it is you, can you confirm it?
There was no DNA testing in the 1920s. If you were directly hit by a shell, the most likely result would be to be classified as missing.
For example, the US military has similar regulations. If soldiers die in battle and their faces cannot be restored, they will be classified as missing, and they will not even be considered dead.
At least she can wait and see if I will come back after the war, then this situation will not happen. York still refuses to give up.
But the more likely scenario is that you will not come back. Your wife has received your death notice. If it were you, would you wait for time to verify the authenticity of this news? At that time, your wife had three elderly people to support. The following
There are two more children, what do you want her to do? You don’t know the origins of those two children, right? They are the children of your brother, who was also a martyr who died in the battle. It was confirmed by the Ministry of War, but your brother’s wife has been married to someone else.
Marry, why don't you ask her, why don't you insist on staying and waiting for news about your brother? Qin Zhiyuan is patient.
In fact, York's family is a microcosm of France as a whole.
France lost about 1.4 million people in the world war. This is just the death toll. You must know that the total population of France is less than 40 million.
Moreover, most of the dead in France were young adults, so the damage caused by the war to France can be imagined.
I can't ask others to do anything, I can only ask myself and my own wife. York was in a low mood.
In fact, York also knew that he shouldn't be more demanding, but the tone in his heart just couldn't be relieved.
Think about it, when York finally escaped from the hell of the prisoner of war camp, he returned to his home full of hope and was ready to welcome the warmth of his wife, but he found that his wife had given her warmth to another stranger, which York couldn't accept.
But from the moment the Army Department determines that you have been killed in action, the binding force of your marriage has automatically expired. Whether it is legally or customarily, your marriage relationship has been dissolved. If someone must be responsible, then only
It could be those guys from the Army Department, and it was precisely because of their sloppiness that the following series of things happened. Qin Zhiyuan diverted the trouble to the east.
In fact, it is not a case of diverting misfortune to the east. If we really want to be held responsible for this issue, then we can only hold the French Ministry of War responsible.
Without that death notice, there would not have been this series of follow-up questions.
I I don't know York has no words to say.
Man, I know you are sad and I understand your pain. But we are all men, why can't we be more relaxed and relaxed like a real man and do what a man should do. Qin Zhiyuan expressed his sincere words.
But what should I do? The war has destroyed everything for me and my family. I have no brother, no father, and now I have no wife. I know nothing but fighting. And now there is no war. What should I do?
How to live, how should my mother live, how should the children left behind by my brother live? I don’t know. I don’t know what to do. Many times I wonder why I didn’t die on the battlefield and why my brother died instead.
It wasn't me York broke down and sat on a chair in the reception room crying.
Under Qin Zhiyuan's patient guidance, York finally let go of his emotions completely, showing weakness and powerlessness that he had never shown before.
To be honest, it is easy for a seven-foot-tall man to cry like this and arouse people's sympathy, especially for a true battlefield tough guy like York.
Brother, it's not your fault. Qin Zhiyuan stood up, went over to hug York's shoulders, patted York's back, and kept saying: Everything will be fine. The war is over, and the greatest misfortune is gone. As long as we
If you can face it with strength, life will be better
York hugged Qin Zhiyuan's waist, rested his head on Qin Zhiyuan's chest and abdomen, and cried heartbreakingly.
Perhaps even during the days in the prisoner of war camp, York never cried.
Perhaps it was because York didn't even cry when he heard the news of his brother's death.
Perhaps it was because York didn't even cry when he saw the brothers who shared life and death around him being killed one by one.
But at this moment, York was crying like a child.
When a man sheds tears, he doesn't shed them lightly, just because he hasn't reached the point of being sad.
Even the military police waiting on the side couldn't help turning away. This scene was really sad.
It took a long time for York to calm down.
Qin Zhiyuan asked softly: York, do you trust me?
Of course, Qin, you are the hero in the hearts of all French soldiers. We trust you extremely. We used to discuss you often. At that time, my biggest wish was to be transferred to the Fifth Army. York still had red circles in his eyes, but he could hear
Sincerity in your words.
If you trust me, then be strong. Although the war is over, soldiers will not be abandoned by society. You can start a new life if you are willing. Qin Zhiyuan gave York enough confidence.
I want to join the Foreign Legion and leave this sad place, is that possible? York's eyes were full of hope.
Of course, York, if you join the Foreign Legion, then I can guarantee that your parents will live happily for a long time, and your brother's children will be well taken care of. You will also have a warm family again, with a gentle and quiet wife.
Qin Zhiyuan promised to give birth to three or five lovely children.
This is certainly not Qin Zhiyuan's delaying strategy. In fact, the Foreign Legion is recruiting a large number of experienced soldiers, who will be sent to Lanfang to engage in work unrelated to their home country.
Of course, one more thing, York, the Foreign Legion does not allow wife beating. If you continue to do that, I guarantee you will be punished. Of course Qin Zhiyuan has not forgotten this issue.
Er, Qin, I can't do it anymore. York obviously lacks confidence.
At the very least, this is a relatively perfect result.
