Chapter 41 Chu Dashan, you really raised a wonderful daughter!!!

"Aunt Cao, Aunt Wang, Aunt Feng."

Chu Lulu called out the names in order, matching each person to their assigned number.

Actually, she could call her sister-in-law, but Sister Lu holds grudges. There's nothing that can be done about family members, but when outsiders call her sister, she calls her aunt.

"Aunt Cao, can you tell me who spread this message?"

She smiled, and her voice was soft, but her eyes were different from before; they had a sharp edge and were no longer misty.

Aunt Cao glanced at the sisters behind her, and finally gritted her teeth, "It's Li Xiuhong."

"She was standing under that big tree in the family compound when she said it, and she described it in great detail."

"They also told the families to keep a close eye on their husbands and not to go to brothels..."

Since she had already spoken up and offended one side, she couldn't afford to offend Chu Lulu as well.

She had long been fed up with what the Li family was doing.

Li Xiuhong!

Chu Lulu narrowed her eyes. What a small world!

Even though she knew Gao Zhi was Li Xiuhong, she never had any other thoughts about Wang Chengjun.

After all, men are like devils when it comes to words.

In her opinion, all the blame lay with Wang Chengjun, and had nothing to do with Li Xiuhong.

But Li Xiuhong should never have smeared the soldiers of the Independent Battalion.

“Aunt Cao, this is not just a matter of my reputation, but the reputation of the Independent Battalion, and its reputation in the outside world.”

"Me alone and the entire independent battalion? Li Xiuhong dares to say that, but do you dare to believe it?"

Aunt Cao was a little embarrassed. At the time, she felt it was exciting, but she didn't think about the credibility issue. Now that she thinks about it, it's not credible at all!

It sounds obviously fabricated.

"I don't care about my reputation, a person's name, or a tree's shadow. You cricket at me because you don't understand me."

"Once you get to know me, you'll naturally know what kind of person I am."

"We can't afford to tarnish the reputation of the Independent Battalion!"

"Others may not know how desperately these soldiers fought, but don't you women know?"

Independent battalions have twice the training volume of regular troops. While regular troops face numerous dangerous missions, the mission of independent battalions is to walk on the edge of a knife.

Before each mission, they would write their wills and make arrangements for their affairs.

The three women lowered their heads, ashamed of what they had said.

"Aunties, I need you."

"I want to sue Li Xiuhong. Can you testify for me?"

Aunt Wang and Aunt Feng hesitated, but Aunt Cao stepped forward and said, "I can."

"We were wrong. We slandered soldiers for the sake of momentary satisfaction. I will testify."

“I can write down the names of the people Li Xiuhong slandered when I saw them under the big tree.”

After saying that, she looked at her two other elderly friends and said, "What about you? I'm not forcing you. I just want peace of mind."

Aunt Wang and Aunt Feng exchanged a glance, finally sighed, and stood beside Aunt Cao, saying, "We're willing."

Chu Lulu smiled. One political education class a week is indeed effective.

These people may be gossipy, but they're not bad at heart.

They also have their own sense of right and wrong.

"But... Sister Lu, we'll never cricket you again. About what happened before..."

Aunt Wang spoke with some difficulty. They had spoken so harshly back then, and if they heard someone talking about them behind their backs, they would want to tear their mouths apart.

Can……

Her husband was ruthless and had given her a stern warning: if she continued to talk about others behind their backs, she should go back to her hometown.

But she just couldn't control her mouth.

Only now do I feel a little scared.

“I said I don’t care about my reputation.”

"Will I become that kind of person just because others portray me as such?"

"But aunties, instead of spending your time relaying messages, why don't you get some work done for me?"

Her herbal face cream is selling like hotcakes, and demand exceeds supply...

It has to be said that the sister-in-law at the state-run restaurant and Aunt Wu at the guesthouse promoted her too much.

"Get to work?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuihua thought, "She's capable of doing the work."

Anyway, she doesn't like cricket fighting with others. She just tidies up her daughter every day and then pastes matchboxes for herself. It's just to pass the time. She might as well help Sister Lu.

"Here's the thing, I've had a lot of herbal face creams ordered, and I can't handle it all by myself. I need a few helpers recently. I won't let you work for free; I'll pay you."

"However, the quality and quantity need to be verified before the wages can be determined."

Instead of doing all the work yourself, it's better to delegate it.

She's already missing classes, which is absolutely unacceptable.

"I'll do it."

Aunt Cao stretched out her hand, then said shyly, "It's just what I need to do to control my mouth."

With work to do, she no longer wanted to gossip or talk behind people's backs.

"I'll do it too."

"I'll do it too."

Aunt Wang and Aunt Feng were completely subservient to Aunt Cao, as Chu Lulu could tell from their behavior just now.

Sure enough, one person made a statement, and the other two followed suit.

"Me, me, me."

Zhang Cuihua straightened her clothes, afraid she might forget herself.

Chu Lulu agreed. With four people working, she wouldn't need to do much about the herbal face cream.

And so, the basic team behind the herbal face cream was formed.

Chu Lulu walked to the commander's office and knocked directly on the door.

"Enter."

Commander Jiang raised his hand, signaling Xiao Jinli to stop reporting, and then looked towards the door.

His guards always stop people from entering, and there are only a handful of people in the entire military region who can knock on his office door at will.

And Chu Lulu is one of them!

"Commander, you must do me justice!"

She started crying before she could even get a good look at the office.

Commander Jiang's lips twitched, and he pressed his temples. Chu Dashan was as hard as steel; how could he have raised such a girl?

He can act!

Speak slowly.

"Why are you crying? Speak properly. If you're right, I'll definitely side with you."

Commander Jiang looked at her and quickly spoke, afraid that if he was too late, he would miss his turn.

After all, they already have experience.

Chu Lulu then wiped away the tears she had squeezed out.

Huh?

Why is Xiao Jinli here too?

Seeing his furrowed brow, she gently waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Commander Jiang looked at her with a hint of annoyance, but his expression was full of affection.

"Li Xiuhong said, 'I set up a brothel in the army and let the men of the Independent Battalion go there to visit the brothel every day.'"

"Commander, I have never cared about my reputation. I accept whatever accusations or slander I may have."

"After all, Li Xiuhong is a military family member, a doctor at a military hospital, and a talent of the country. I can tolerate it."

Commander Jiang's expression was barely holding back. You're going to hold back? Do you even know the word "hold back"?

Just because he didn't show up doesn't mean he wasn't paying attention.

No one in the entire military region can escape his eyes if he wants to investigate or keep an eye on someone.

He also knew about the classified files reported by the military hospital—others might not know, but he did!

National talent...

Are you talking about Li Xiuhong?

Chu Dashan, you've really raised a good daughter!
