Chapter 2059 Death of the Captain

Joan froze for a moment, unable to understand the logic of Medea's words.

Why should you work more if you are ingenious, and deserve to be bullied if you co-author an honest person? How can there be such a reason in the world!

It was Feniya who was well-behaved and sensible, and when she noticed that Joan and Medea were arguing, she hurried over to smooth things over.

"Master, you can teach me how to make papaya drink, just guide me by the side, and I will do the hands-on work."

"Count me in too!" Menia excitedly rolled up her sleeves and joined in the fun.

"Alright then." Joan suddenly noticed that the Hall of Silence was no longer "silent".

The giant sisters are really good at doing housework. With their help, Joan made ten papayas into papaya milk in less than half an hour, and tried to stew them in a "magic pot". The flavor is better than iced ones. More mellow and silky.

Joan and Medea drank two large cups of papaya milk, which made their bellies round, and the remaining half of the pot was rounded up by Fania and Menia.

The giant sisters are really not as tall as Bai Chang, and they have a surprisingly large appetite. In the end, Menia picked up the pot and licked it so smooth that she couldn't get enough of it.

"The two of you sisters will live with me from now on and help me brew blood mead. I dare not say anything about other treatment, but papaya stewed milk is enough!"

Medea's generosity immediately won the hearts of the giant sisters. Menia praised her as the "most considerate employer" she had ever met, which made Joan a little jealous...

That night, Gray Bird also came back, and the four women chattered like a festive celebration.

Joan originally planned to stay in the Temple of Silence for a few more days to help Medea brew "Blood Mead", but after only staying for three days, he received a letter from Audrey, telling him that something had happened at Mrs. Anderson's house, urging him to go back quickly a trip!

After reading the letter, Joan's heart sank!

Audrey would never write a letter to urge him to go home because of trivial matters, but he didn't say clearly in the letter what happened to Mrs. Anderson, which made him feel very uneasy, and immediately bid farewell to Medea, Gray Bird and the giant sisters , Hastily cast a spell to teleport home.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, Joan heard crying, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. He hurried into the house, and Mrs. Anderson was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, covering her face and sobbing, while Hailar and Audrey were trying to comfort the heartbroken old woman.

Holden saw Joann's figure at the window and hurried over to meet him.

"What happened?" Joan asked.

Holden first glanced back at Mrs. Anderson, and then gave him a wink: "Let's talk upstairs."

Qiao An nodded uneasy, and followed him upstairs.

"Joan, do you know Mrs. Anderson's son?" Holden asked in a low voice when he reached the second floor.

"I've met him a few times. His name is Bob Anderson. He seems to be an active cavalry captain."

The reason why Joan bought this house was mainly because Bob Anderson needed a sum of money to buy a captain's rank, so as to increase the "gold content" in the eyes of his girlfriend's parents. For the sake of her son's future, Mrs. Anderson sold the old house to Joan, a tenant, in exchange for a large sum of money, and finally helped her son realize his wish.

Later, Joan met Captain Anderson twice at home. The young man was handsome, eloquent, likable, and quite proud of his career and love, but he had nothing in common with an academic nerd like him Make friends.

Not long ago, Joann heard from Mrs. Anderson that her son was appreciated by his superior, Lieutenant Colonel Henry James, in the army, and that he would be promoted soon, and that his relationship with the congressman's daughter was going well, and he was considering getting engaged. young talents.

"You suddenly mentioned Captain Anderson. Could it be that something happened to him?" Joan asked Holden.

Mr. Poet nodded heavily.

"Just this morning, Mrs. Anderson received a letter from the Civil Affairs Bureau, which was stamped with the seal of the military region. The old lady was illiterate, so she asked me to read the letter for him. I opened the envelope and saw that it was a death notice. Book."

Joan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked, "Captain Anderson... sacrificed?"

Holden nodded and sighed: "The official document only said that he was attacked while performing military duties in the Vymur Valley last Saturday, and unfortunately died in the line of duty. It didn't mention the details of Captain Anderson's sacrifice, and asked his family members to collect the body and pension...I put This was told to Mrs. Anderson, and the poor old woman fainted immediately."

"She is so old, and her physical condition has not been very good. She suddenly learned such bad news, and she couldn't bear the blow at all... The situation was very dangerous at that time. Fortunately, my sister was there, so she quickly cast her magic spell, and at least she was rescued. , You have also seen what happened later, the old man was so sad that he couldn't stop crying, we couldn't persuade him, so we had to ask you to come back and find a way."

Joan nodded, deeply sympathizing with Mrs. Anderson's experience. However, the old man has lost his favorite son, the white-haired man sends the black-haired man, and the sympathy of others is sympathetic. How can he feel the pain of bereavement? No amount of words of comfort is powerless.

"What should we do next?" Holden looked blank.

"Anyway, let's take care of Captain Anderson's funeral first." Joan replied in a low voice.

The two went downstairs, and it happened that Mrs. Anderson's eldest daughter and second daughter rushed over together when they heard the bad news, and they were embracing and weeping with their mother.

Joan had a discussion with Audrey and Hailar, and felt that the old lady had taken care of everyone all these years and treated them as her own juniors. Now that they are in misfortune, they should also do their part. Captain Anderson's funeral expenses are It can be regarded as a token of affection for the four of them to share equally.

Audrey told Mrs. Anderson and her two daughters about everyone's plans, and the three women expressed their thanks repeatedly.

Seeing that Mrs. Anderson's mood had improved, Hailaer discussed with the two young wives, planning to leave the youngest daughter at home to take care of her mother, while the eldest daughter went out to handle Captain Anderson's funeral.

Mrs. Anderson's daughters are ordinary housewives who don't know how to handle the process of receiving pensions and the body of their brother. Seeing how pitiful they were, Hailaer offered to accompany them on a trip to negotiate with the relevant departments.

Joan, Audrey and Holden also intend to go with them. When it was time to leave the house, Mrs. Anderson suddenly proposed that she would also go together. If she could not see her son's body with her own eyes, she would never believe that Bob Anderson was no longer alive. , Maybe the army made a mistake, and the person who died was not her son. This kind of misunderstanding is also possible, right?

Everyone couldn't bear to persuade her to face reality. Since the old man insisted on going and it was not easy to stop him, he hired a carriage and took the Anderson family to the military area.
