Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

Chapter 518 My Manman is just being a hero!

On the eve of the move, Brigade Commander He, Dean Huo, and Dean Zhang rushed over from their workplaces to visit Qiao Manman.

"Lu Yuan, are you really determined to spread the news?"

"The truth will eventually come out. The family compound had already suspected it, so there's no point in trying to cover it up."

"Fine, anyway, Manman did this to save people. If those military families dare to say anything rude, I'll punish their husbands to death!"

Qiao Lingyue rolled her eyes at him: "If you're so capable, why don't you prevent Manman from going on missions? Hindsight is 20/20, how can you not be more annoying!"

Commander He awkwardly touched his nose: "Whether you believe it or not, I really didn't put Comrade Xiao Qiao in any danger!"

"You didn't put her in any danger, how could she have gotten injured and unconscious? What, is my Manman just bored and has to play the hero?"

Commander He thought to himself, this is not about playing the hero, but about being a true hero.

Although it is unclear what exactly happened in Dong Province, it is not difficult to infer from the vague and incoherent reports that Qiao Manman played a pivotal role in the "arrest" of Meng Peiyu.

"Grandpa, let's not talk about that. Manman did it voluntarily. It's not Commander He's fault."

"Of course it's not his fault, he wasn't even there. You were right next to Manman, but you were completely useless!"

Qiao Lingyue took her anger out on Lu Yuan, scolding him until he looked sullen.

"Grandpa, I was wrong. I'll let my wife beat and scold me as she pleases when she wakes up!"

"Humph!"

"Alright, alright, don't be angry, Lu Yuan already knows he was wrong. Besides, things haven't gotten to the worst point yet, have they?"

Xie Susu tried to smooth things over and finally calmed Qiao Lingyue down: "Tomorrow is a great day for moving, let's all be happy, be happy!"

"Yes, yes, Old Qiao, there's no use talking about that now. We should just support Manman!" Huo Wangshu patted his shoulder.

Dean Zhang also stepped forward: "That's right, with a few of us old guys here, let's see who dares to complain!"

Qiao Lingyue's mood improved a bit, and she nodded, "Thank you for your help!"

"Well, Manman is the backbone of our research institute. If I don't support her, who will?"

"Yes, Jing Cheng is the top student at our Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and his niece is my niece!"

"By the way, Commander Lu, Ms. Xie, and Elder Qiao, we would like to formally recruit Researcher Xiao Qiao into our team. We would appreciate your approval!"

Huo Wangshu took out a contract: "She was too stubborn before and refused to sign a formal contract."

But we are not ungrateful, and we cannot ignore her enormous contributions to the aerospace field.

Even though she's unconscious now, this honor is rightfully hers.

"You'll have to ask Lu Yuan about that!" Xie Susu turned her head: "Son, what do you think?"

Lu Yuan refused decisively: "Manman doesn't care about these empty titles!"

"But her name should be recorded in history books."

"Does not being a formal member of the research institute mean she doesn't deserve to be remembered in history?"

"Yes, of course we are. But right now, we know what's going on and can vouch for her."

What about future generations? Will they wonder how someone not officially recognized could have made such an outstanding contribution?

Since she deserves half of the medal, why wasn't she promoted to a permanent position?

Is there some unknown inside story behind this?

Commander Lu, I hope you will consider this carefully and not let Researcher Xiao Qiao suffer any injustice!

Huo Wangshu's words were truly heartfelt. Even Qiao Lingyue and He Jingcheng were somewhat moved by them.

"Nephew-in-law, why don't you sign it for Manman?"
