Chapter 99 What right do you have to kick me out of the family compound? (Seeking monthly votes)

"How are you going to not let me off easily? I think all you're good for is your sharp tongue." Hong Lanlan was not intimidated at all.

Cai Qinqin reminded the people around her, "Don't stop me. I must punish Hong Lanlan properly today, otherwise she won't know who she is in the future."

"Never mind, we're all from the same residential compound, we see each other all the time."

"That's right, try not to get angry."

"Go home, everyone. You all have things to do at home."

Tsai Chin-chin and Hung Lan-lan were both pushed into the house.

As soon as Cai Qinqin arrived home, before the crowd had dispersed, she grabbed a broom and rushed out, barging into Hong Lanlan's doorstep.

Hong Lanlan took out a broom from the house, and the two of them started fighting.

Song Cuiping realized something was wrong and immediately ran out of the family compound to report the matter to her superiors. Soon, her superiors sent people over to investigate.

Shen Jiang was assigned as the representative for this review. He appeared at Hong Lanlan's door with two soldiers. Cai Qinqin grabbed Hong Lanlan's hair, and Hong Lanlan grabbed her hair in return. Neither of them was willing to give in.

Shen Jiang roared, "Let go of them all!"

The two men merely glanced at Shen Jiang, remaining unmoved.

Shen Jiang ordered his soldiers to forcibly separate the two women, but Cai Qinqin and Hong Lanlan continued to curse each other.

More and more people gathered to watch.

With a stern face, Shen Jiang growled at the two of them, "What kind of behavior is this? Don't you know fighting is prohibited in the family compound? You're both mothers, yet you act so irrationally. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Tsai Chin-chin addressed Shen Jiang, "Hong Lanlan started the trouble first; I was just defending myself."

Hong Lanlan: "She was the one who started it by accusing me of seducing her husband. She tried to make me unable to stay in the family compound with just her words. It's clear that she has ulterior motives."

"Isn't what I said the truth? Speak honestly, didn't you seduce Wang Shun to get him to give you money?"

"The money I'm giving you is for my child's medical expenses. It was your son, Wang Xiaohu, who injured Ziqian's legs and feet. Isn't it only right that you give him the money?"

"You say Xiaohu injured Zhang Ziqian's legs, but I insist that this did not happen."

"If you keep acting like this, no one will get along with you."

"If we can't get along, so be it. Lone wolves are the best. I'm not willing to associate with mediocre people." Tsai Chin-Chin didn't back down at all.

Seeing that the two were arguing more and more fiercely, Shenjiang scolded them to stop talking.

Tsai Chin-Chin was still unconvinced, but she didn't continue arguing because of Shen Jiang's presence.

Hong Lanlan stepped forward and took the initiative to talk to Shen Jiang, telling him about what had happened in the past few days.

Tsai Chin-Chin found it very unpleasant to hear and immediately interrupted her.

"What do you mean I'm picking a fight? What do you mean you're not going to stoop to my level? You're good at pretending to be a good person, but too bad, you can't keep up the act. I have to expose your true colors." Cai Qinqin looked ready to start a fight.

Hong Lanlan did not argue with her, but looked at Shenjiang with tears in her eyes.

Shen Jiang spoke sternly, "Cai Qinqin, if you continue like this, I will report your current behavior to the higher-ups and apply for your removal from the family compound. You will never be allowed to set foot here again."

"Why should I leave the family compound? I don't agree!" Cai Qinqin couldn't stand this injustice.

“This isn’t something you can just disagree with. Let me tell you, it’s not your place to tell others what to do here.”

Cai Qinqin looked at Shen Jiang suspiciously, "Why are you speaking up for Hong Lanlan? Did she give you something in return?"

"Cai Qinqin! If you continue to slander soldiers, I'll report you right now and have you removed from here." Shen Jiang was already enraged.

Seeing his angry expression, Cai Qinqin felt a little flustered and fell completely silent.

Hong Lanlan seized the opportunity to speak up, "You heard it too. Cai Qinqin loves to make up stories and spread rumors in the family compound. She's been saying everywhere that my eldest son isn't Zhang Xiang's. If this gets to Zhang Xiang's ears, he'll definitely divorce me."

Cai Qinqin glared at Hong Lanlan, "Didn't you also make up stories about how no one wanted me when I got married, and that only that widower Wang Shuncai still reluctantly married me?"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Shen Jiang's head began to ache.

"Alright, enough talk. I have two options: First, you shake hands and make peace, and don't fight anymore. Second, I will write a report and upload it for review, and you will both be asked to leave the family compound."

Tsai Chin-chin disliked Hung Lan-lan, and Hung Lan-lan disliked her in return.

However, they were naturally unwilling to leave the family compound.

Although it's noisy and chaotic in the family compound every day, life there is much better than back home.

The thought of shaking hands and making peace with Hong Lanlan made Tsai Chin-chin feel suffocated.

She tentatively asked, "Can we make up without shaking hands? Let's stop arguing and pretend this never happened."

“No, you not only have to shake hands and make up, but you also have to sign a guarantee that you will never quarrel together again,” Shen Jiang reminded him.

Tsai Chin-chin looked troubled. "I can't read a single word. You want me to sign a guarantee? Isn't this just making things difficult for me?"

Hong Lanlan gave her a disdainful look. "You can't read, but I can. No wonder you always disagree with what I say. You're illiterate."

“I don’t like hearing that. There are plenty of illiterate people these days, how come it’s considered shameful in your mouth?” Cai Qinqin immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.

Hong Lanlan's words also aroused dissatisfaction among others, who all condemned her.

Hong Lanlan quickly backed down.

Shen Jiang reminded him, "You don't know how to sign, but you should know how to put your fingerprint on, right?"

Tsai Chin-chin nodded, "I know how to do that."

"I'll provide a guarantee here. If you think it's acceptable, just put your fingerprint on it."

“I can’t read, how am I supposed to know what’s written on it? Isn’t this just making things difficult for me?” Cai Qinqin said with a troubled expression.

Shenjiang said, "I promise I'll read the written guarantee to you. Once you're satisfied, you can sign it. That should be fine, right?"

"That's fine," Cai Qinqin finally nodded.

Hong Lanlan watched it like watching wild monkeys play a trick—brainless and laughable.

Tsai Chin-chin suddenly realized something, "I only mentioned the illiteracy issue; I haven't agreed to shake hands and make peace yet."

Shen Jiang, "So you've chosen the second option—leaving the family compound?"

Cai Qinqin gritted her teeth, thinking that she would also need to submit a report to higher authorities regarding the situation in Shenjiang, and even then, the higher authorities might not approve it.

Whether she will be kicked out of the family compound is not something Shen Jiang can decide.

Thinking of this, Cai Qinqin grew bolder, "We are all military families. The higher-ups arranged a family compound for us so that our husbands wouldn't have to worry about anything while they're on the front lines. What right do you have to make the decision to kick me out? I won't accept this!"
