?Chapter 505: Chapter 495: The Model Military Spouse Chapter 505: Chapter 495: The Model Military Spouse The old commander tapped on the desk repeatedly with his finger, a subconscious motion he made when deep in thought. The young officer standing before him knew this well and stood ramrod straight, letting the old commander ponder to his heart’s content.

Indeed, at this moment, the old commander was recalling how several of his old comrades had come to his home to celebrate the New Year. Everyone who saw the couplets pasted beside his front door had praised them, saying, “Good, the writing is excellent, and the matched pair as well.” Whenever he heard these words, he’d respond with a proud, enigmatic smile, leaving others baffled.

“It was you who insisted on showing off the couplets, and we all followed suit by praising them. Why are you acting all mysterious now?” Eventually, after the old commander spread the word, everyone high-up in the military circles of the Capital knew about Li Hongjun, that young soldier, and his talented wife who was currently attending university.

The old commander emphasized that the New Year’s couplets were the work of Shen Yunfang, then went on to describe how talented she was, how she used resources around her to turn the impossible into the possible. He mentioned how she had summoned Hongjun’s eldest sister’s family to help, all to create a pretext to aid the sister’s family in paying off their debts and escaping poverty. The old fellows all nodded in approval; folks like them appreciated those who were warm-hearted, down-to-earth, and hardworking. Thus, they unanimously stated that Comrade Shen Yunfang was truly an exemplary military spouse.

In the first half of the year, the bodyguard reported to the old commander that Yoshida Hidemitsu from Japan’s March Company was pestering Shen Yunfang. Upon hearing this, the old commander was enraged. He didn’t doubt Yunfang’s intentions for a moment and immediately assumed that it was that Yoshida causing trouble, flirting around. He ordered to have that Yoshida sent back to his country right away.

However, this involved foreign relations. At a time when the country desperately needed rebuilding, handling such international matters became extremely important. Although the old commander held a high position and considerable power, he couldn’t just rely on his personal biases and conclude that the problem lay solely with Yoshida Hidemitsu. If Shen Yunfang had acted improperly, then they couldn’t blame only the Japanese.
