If Song Yan didn't want her to kowtow, she wouldn't have the chance. Wang Cuixiang finally understood that she could only sit slumped on the ground and take the beating.

"I'll talk, I'll talk..."

Wang Cuixiang said she had taken someone's things, and Song Yan asked if the person had given them to her willingly. Wang Cuixiang wanted to say yes, but Song Yan was holding the bamboo stick in his hand, so she didn't dare...

Wang Cuixiang not only took advantage of the family members in her troupe, but also took advantage of people from other troupes who were more shameless.

"Do you all think this kind of person should be beaten?"

"Should!"

Do you think she has any shame?

"No!"

"She bullied me because I'm an outsider. She ruined my reputation. How could she be so shameless?"

"Shameless!"

"Even if you beat me to death, it won't be enough."

Wang Cuixiang didn't want to say much, but if she stopped, Song Yan would beat her up. She slowly counted who she had taken advantage of. Who could be happy to be taken advantage of?

Song Yan wanted to help everyone recall the times Wang Cuixiang had taken advantage of them.

No one can match Wang Cuixiang when it comes to shamelessness; she's also dark-skinned, strong, and incredibly powerful. That's why she's succeeded all these years.

Wang Cuixiang successfully provoked everyone's anger.

When Lao He and Lao Xing arrived, they overheard the military families responding to Song Yan's words in unison.

He Dajun was annoyed by Wang Cuixiang; she always made his mother angry. When he found his father, his words were quite amusing. "Dad, Uncle Xing, come quick! Aunt Xing is acting like a jerk at Aunt Wei's door, she even tried to... she even tried to pull down someone's pants... now they're fighting."

Old He was startled. "What did you say?"

Everyone says Aunt Xing is incredibly wicked…

This is what Sister He said afterward.

The earlier words of He Dajun set the stage, and now the military family members disliked Wang Cuixiang. All the women were watching the spectacle, and surprisingly, no one tried to break up the fight. Old Xing felt utterly humiliated, so he went into the crowd, grabbed Wang Cuixiang, and dragged her away.

"Wang Cuixiang is such a disgrace to our military families. Everyone, do you think she was beaten well?" The person who shouted was the wife of the Second Regiment Commander. She had lost face because of the rumors, and her husband had been dragged down with her; how could she not be angry?

"good!"

I don't know who started clapping. The applause started as Wang Cuixiang was being dragged away.

…Wang Cuixiang was beaten again after returning home.

"...Others hit me, and you hit me back. That little bitch started it. Women fighting is a women's business, it has nothing to do with you, why did you hit me..."

Commander Xing was exhausted from fighting. "I'm finished, you know? Because of you, I've lost my chance to study. You didn't want to go home and farm, did you? Let me tell you, you have no choice but to go home and farm."

Wang Cuixiang knew about the training program. She was stunned for a moment. But then she thought, what's there to be afraid of? Old Xing would have a job after his demobilization. Her husband was reluctant to part with his military uniform, but Wang Cuixiang didn't care.

"Old He won't even report it to the authorities. And you're making a scene. Can't you at least let me leave with some dignity?"

Old Xing still held onto a sliver of hope, but now everything has been shattered.

What he didn't know was that Wang Cuixiang had just said she took someone's things. At first, everyone thought it wasn't a big deal that one egg belonged to one family and another to another.

But when everyone gets together, it adds up to quite a lot!

Why put up with this? It was really satisfying for Song Yan to beat up Wang Cuixiang. Who doesn't want to live a carefree life? Everyone's not stupid. Old Xing has been a deputy for so many years, and with what happened with Wang Cuixiang, he'll definitely be transferred to civilian work.

Old Xing was discharged from the military, and Wang Cuixiang, having gotten her hands on him, simply left. The other women grew increasingly angry.

The wife of the Second Regiment Commander asked everyone to recall how much Wang Cuixiang had taken advantage of them. After all, only a small part of the story was told.

People say she just kept a record…

Those present had filled an entire page with notes about what had happened over the past few years.

"No, I'm going to report her. What's the difference between this and accepting bribes? No, it's extortion. Didn't Lao Xing know she took so much stuff? So what if you men are her subordinates? Bureaucratic practices aren't allowed these days." The Second Regiment Commander's wife was furious.

Later, those who heard about this went to the wife of the Second Regiment Commander to request a record of what had been taken from them…

Whether Lao Xing knew about it or not, no one knew. But all of these things added up to quite a bit.

The wife of the Second Regiment Commander took the registration documents and several women to the regiment to file a complaint. Old He looked at the densely packed pages of paper; this matter was no longer something the regiment could handle, and he had to report it to a higher level.

This kind of thing is like a flood bursting its banks; once the dam breaks, it can't be stopped. When the higher-ups came to investigate, the families of the soldiers in the regiment all testified to each other, saying that Wang Cuixiang took such and such things at such and such times, and who was present at the time, etc.

Old Xing wanted to leave with some dignity, but he didn't manage that. Old Xing wasn't demobilized. If he had, he could have been assigned a job in the local area. He was discharged from the military, carrying a disciplinary record. This was only because he paid back the money his wife had taken advantage of him and showed a good attitude, which resulted in a lighter punishment.

Old Xing came from the countryside, and now he's gone back. The day he left, Wang Cuixiang cried her heart out!

Of course, these are all things to be discussed later.
