Among the comrades from their batch, Qin Yun and Huo Jingyuan shared a mutual admiration. Their relationship was one of both mentor and friend. And only Huo Jingyuan knew that Qin Yun had a biological younger brother.
"You mean Qin Yun's brother married his brother's widow?"
Marrying a brother's widow was still a relatively common practice in that era. Widows were always the subject of gossip, a situation often resolved if the family was dutiful and had a younger son of marriageable age.
They generally wouldn't let their daughter-in-law remain a widow.
Huo Jingyuan nodded.
A few years ago, when Qin Jin had just transferred to the Northwest from another military region, Huo Jingyuan had seen that familiar face and immediately guessed his identity.
The commissar's expression gradually grew solemn. He spoke slowly, "No. She absolutely cannot remain in the Northwest Military Region. I will personally handle getting Qin Jin transferred out."
"There's no need."
