The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 336 Argument
You, now you ask me to be fair?
Jiang Cheng's eyes widened, and he raised his hand and pointed at Cai Yuanming's nose: "Damn it, speak with conscience!"

"How have I, Jiang Cheng, ever let down your Cai family? Yes, I got my start with your father's second regiment... but don't you see what the situation was like back then?"

"Rong Shihong is going to eat your Second Regiment and Dapingzhuang. Did I, Jiang Cheng, touch a penny of the arms and public funds seized by Duan Zhigui? All the things we have collected have gone to Dapingzhuang."

"When Xiyingchang was building a garrison, the Hai family built a horse farm... Did I use a cent or a dime from your Dapingzhuang?"

The series of words was like a heavy machine gun sweeping across the area, shocking Cai Yuanming so much that he stood there in a daze, completely speechless.

"Feilan, Feilan, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Cai Yuanming's face turn pale, Hai Pingchuan licked his lips in embarrassment and quickly stepped forward to hold him, "Stop talking! We are brothers, why do we have to..."

Jiang Cheng, however, shoved him away with his hand, walked up to him quickly and glared at the speechless Thief Lao Er: "Let me ask you, have I ever treated Xiao Juan or the Cai family badly along the way? Is there anything in Dapingzhuang that I am not in charge of?"

Cai Yuanming sighed deeply: "Stop talking! Anyway, you think the Cai family is not powerful enough, so you did the right thing, right?"

Jiang Cheng half raised his head and sneered: "Don't say such nonsense - I'm asking you, do you want to be an official?"

Cai Yuanming suddenly raised his head and looked back absentmindedly: "Jiang Feilan, are you serious?"

Seeing that the two were getting more and more angry, Hai Pingchuan quickly pulled Cai Yuanming and said, "Second brother, what's wrong with you? Just give in, let's..."

Cai Yuanming took off his military cap and threw it on the ground: "I quit."

His tone was extremely calm, but his eyes showed a bit of disappointment, "I'll take Xiaojuan back to Dapingzhuang!"

After saying this, he turned around and left with a pale face, which made Jiang Cheng so angry that he spat, "Damn it, Xiaojuan is my wife and Chengye is my son. If you want to leave, just leave. Don't..."

Hai Pingchuan was really furious and punched him: "Jiang, are you crazy? Is being a military commander so great or being in charge of the 29th Division so great? If you keep doing this, I will take Huixin away!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Hai Huixin's voice could be heard faintly from outside the door: "Brother, if you want to leave, you go first! I won't follow you and make trouble."

The two men turned their heads and looked in surprise as Hai Huixin really stuck her head in through the crack in the door. Her beautiful face was now blue from the cold.

"Why...are you here too?"

Seeing Zhang Tingxue following behind Hai Huixin, Jiang Cheng was happy for a moment, but then his face became tense again, "Didn't I tell you all? Don't come to Changchun for the time being, it's still chaotic here."

"Especially Xue'er, you are still pregnant..."

Hai Huixin walked up to him with a smile and put her arm around him affectionately. She tilted her head and smiled, "If we two sisters hadn't come, how would we have known that you and your second brother had also started fighting?"

Zhang Tingxue also came up and punched him lightly with her pink fist: "What's wrong with you? After quarreling with Xiaojuan, you quarreled with her brother again? Can't you live like this?"

Looking at her slightly bulging belly, it was almost four months. Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly at her and pinched her face: "I'm not idle either, why are you arguing over such a good thing?"

Hai Huixin turned around and poured water from the thermos on the table for Zhang Tingxue, while saying, "It was my third sister. She said she would come to Changchun with her brother-in-law for just half a day. My sister and I were thinking that since my third sister was coming, we might as well go to Changchun together."

Zhang Tinghui is back from the United States?
"Is our sister so fast?"

Jiang Cheng smiled, "Why didn't you say so earlier... This is really showing off! Changchun is in such a mess." Zhang Tingxue took the hot water from Hai Huixin but glared at Jiang Cheng, "Look - this is really useful and useless. You didn't welcome us two sisters to come, but you're happy that the third sister is back?"

That’s different. Your sister came back to help me build it.

"Xue'er, you are so boring that you even want to be jealous of your sister."

Jiang Cheng had heard before that the third sister was always a decisive person who never changed her mind, and even Old Zhang himself couldn't do anything about her - it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Then he called Ye Hai over and asked him to find someone to clean up the bedroom in the western-style building. He asked his two wives to sit down and then asked them in detail.

It turned out that long before the Kuanchengzi conflict, Zhang Tinghui and his wife had returned to China by ship from the United States - but Jiang Cheng was fighting in Jilin, so no one told him.

It is said that he brought back a lot of good things. After discussing it, the two sisters decided to take the north route and act as the vanguard... Cao Shiying also missed Hai Pingchuan, so several of them came together.

And because Cai Chanjuan had to take care of Chengye, she left her in Siping to look after the house first.

"You two, why did you rush here in such a cold weather? You should have called me so I could have sent a car to pick you up."

Jiang Cheng was talking, but Zhang Tingxue, who was holding the hot water, poked his nose with her fingertips: "Don't change the subject... I'm asking you a question, what were you arguing about with Yuanming just now?"

Even if he had a conflict with Cai Yuanming, it was ultimately an internal conflict in Changchun, and he didn't want his superiors to know about it.

"It's just a trivial matter - he feels that I am supporting the Hai family and promoting them, while neglecting Dapingzhuang and the Cai family."

At this point, he sighed deliberately and said, "No one can treat everyone equally, but I really didn't intentionally favor one over the other."

"Xue'er doesn't know about the Dapingzhuang incident, but Huixin knows it all. Yuanzong is the leader of our group, and I believe I have done my best for the Cai family."

Hai Huixin stood up and stood beside him, gently massaging his sore shoulders: "Don't be angry! I understand you... I understand you too."

"But if you really go against the Cai family now, how will people look at you in the future? Everyone in the army knows about your relationship. If you suddenly reveal someone, Lao Guo and the others will definitely be worried."

Jiang Cheng stopped talking.

After a while, he raised one hand and patted Hai Huixin's small hand on her shoulder, then said, "I know."

"Hey, we are all made of flesh. This matter... is more troublesome than fighting on the front line."

"Huixin, since you are staying here today, please go and persuade them on my behalf - but speaking of this matter, were you two the ones who gave money to Yang Yuting?"

The two wives smiled at each other at the same time. Zhang Tingxue put the teacup beside her and said, "How could I have imagined that? It must be Sister Hai's idea!"

"She felt that since Yang Yuting had committed such a serious crime, the commander-in-chief had left him a way out, and that there might be a day when he could be reinstated. So the two of us sisters discussed it and asked my classmates in Beijing to buy him a small courtyard and give him some money."

It turns out to be you two.

Before, it was Hai Huixin who helped him to win over Jiang Dengxuan, so that he had an informant in Fengtian; Yang Yuting would be back in half a year to help the commander-in-chief with construction and reorganization of the army, so it would be a good idea to stir up some cold storage in advance.
