Chapter 107: Wasn't the lesson enough?

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in a flurry of noise, all stepping back in a circle, as if afraid of getting splashed even a tiny bit.

The stench filled the air instantly, making people cover their noses.

The yellowish, foul-smelling liquid smeared all over Old Lady Cui and San Yatou's faces and bodies, dripping down their hair.

Grandma Cui's face turned from red to purple, and she made a strange "hoarse" sound in her throat.

Their previous arrogance was completely extinguished by this ladle of "golden water".

She pointed a trembling finger at Song Juan, her whole body shaking with anger, but she couldn't utter a single word of curse for a long time.

San Ya Tou was completely dumbfounded, standing there frozen, only able to let out a piercing scream.

Zhao Di was the first to react, jumping up with a scream. She frantically tried to wipe herself but dared not touch it, tears mixed with urine streaming down her face.

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

Song Juan put the empty basin on the ground, covered her mouth, and said, "I didn't mean to."

She said this, but her face wore an undisguised sarcastic smile, and her eyes swept across Old Lady Cui's pale and sallow face like knives.

Grandma Cui stood up, wanting to say something more, but Song Juan was too lazy to listen.

"I still have patients to attend to." With that, he turned and left, leaving everyone stunned.

With a smile on his lips, Huang Ya rushed into the ward, excitedly describing Song Juan's heroic act to Song Zhan and Shen Wanjun.

"Juan'er has really exceeded my expectations."

Huang Ya never expected that Song Juan would do such a thing.

Song Juan said shyly, "Just tell me whether I solved the problem or not."

"Haha, Grandma Cui must be home by now."

Grandma Cui wasn't stupid. In the dead of winter, if she didn't hurry home to take a shower and change her clothes, was she going to freeze to death?

"Well done!" Shen Wanjun gave a thumbs up: "Juan'er has grown up."

Despite her gentle nature, she finally did something tough today.

Being able to solve problems on your own is the beginning of growing up. Although the methods may be a bit extreme, at least you won't be bullied.

Song Zhan said, "Old Lady Cui is very cunning; who knows what other tricks she might pull."

Huang Ya: "Don't worry, there are guards at the hospital entrance now, they won't let that old woman in."

Shen Wanjun instructed, "Juan'er, don't forgive him."

Shen Wanjun and Song Zhan packed their things and left the hospital. Just as they reached their doorstep, they saw a familiar figure walking past.

"Is that Hao Yan?" Shen Wanjun asked.

“Yes, and her husband Wang Ming as well,” Song Zhan said.

Shen Wanjun remembered Dang Xianghong's words, and sure enough, Hao Yan came to Hao Mei to complain again.

When Hao Mei saw her sister, she didn't think too much and warmly pulled the two of them into the house.

"Yan'er, you've lost weight. Here, have some cookies."

Hao Mei was very hospitable. As soon as she entered the house, she took out the cookies that she usually couldn't bear to eat and offered them to her sister and brother-in-law.

Hao Yan felt a little resentful when she saw that her older sister had a big house to live in and cookies to eat.

Looking at the photo of Liang Yi and Hao Mei on the wall, she said sarcastically, "Sister is living a comfortable life, while I'm almost worried to death."

"What happened?" Hao Mei asked.

Hao Yan tearfully recounted how Wang Ming lost his job, saying, "That Deputy Political Commissar Zhou did this purely to get revenge on you. Poor me and Wang Ming have become scapegoats."

Hao Mei didn't like hearing this. The person who spread the rumors was Wang Ming, not her.

"Comrade Wang has already admitted his mistake, and there was no problem with handling Zhou Lan's case."

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Zhou Lan was indeed more decisive than her and never procrastinated in her actions.

Especially regarding the matter involving Hao Yan and her husband.

Hao Mei has been scolded by Liang Yi several times recently. "You need to clear your head. Don't drag our whole family down with you because of your immature sister."

Remembering her husband's admonition, Hao Mei said, "Yan'er, if you came here for this reason, then I can't help you."

As she was about to get up to see the guests off, Hao Yan clung to Hao Mei's leg, sobbing and refusing to let go.

"Sister, you can't abandon me. You're my only sister."

Hao Mei was speechless, but she still patiently asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush, and don't treat her like a fool.

Hao Yan wiped away her tears and pleaded, "Sister, please arrange a job for Wang Ming."

Hao Mei pointed to herself: "Me? I don't have that kind of ability."

"You do! You're a political commissar, a high-ranking official!"

Hao Yan said, "I won't ask you to arrange anything else, just arrange for you to be a teacher."

"Isn't the compound school short of teachers?"

Hao Mei: "No shortage, there are no empty seats."

"That Bai Lu hasn't been officially promoted yet. I've heard she's a really bad person and is always trying to ruin the marriage between Battalion Commander Song and Shen Wanjun."

"Sister, you're the political commissar, aren't you going to do nothing about this?"

Hao Yan's meaning was clear: get rid of Bai Lu and make room for Wang Ming.

Wang Ming's eyes lit up, and he pricked up his ears.

After rambling on for a while, Hao Yan finally got to the point.

Hao Mei pushed Hao Yan away: "Don't make things up without evidence. Haven't you learned your lesson?"

He glanced at Wang Ming sideways as he spoke, and Wang Ming shrugged.

He didn't regret spreading rumors about Bai Lu at all; he only regretted not being more discreet and being betrayed.

"Sister, women all need to get married and have children. If you're looking for a teacher, you should look for a man. He's reliable and safe, and there aren't so many other complicated things to worry about."

"Don't you think so?"

Seeing that Hao Mei wasn't buying it, Hao Yan changed her approach.

Hao Mei took a deep breath and said, "Aren't you a woman? How can you talk about women like that?"

"According to you, I should be replaced by a man as the political commissar."

"Sister, that's not what I meant," Hao Yan quickly explained.

Hao Mei was too lazy to argue with her anymore: "If you have nothing else to do, go back."

She immediately told them to leave.

Seeing that her sister was really angry, Hao Yan gave Wang Ming, who hadn't said a word, a wink.

Wang Ming stood up and said, "Sister, I'll be going now."

He turned and left.

After Wang Ming left, Hao Yan said, "Sister, I don't have anything going on at home anyway, so I'd like to stay with you for a few days, is that okay?"

She pleaded with a pained expression, adopting a very humble posture.

Hao Mei remained silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, then let me make this clear from the start: if you cause any more trouble, I won't be cleaning up your mess."

She's not a maid; why does she always have to do those thankless tasks?

Hao Yan nodded obediently: "I will definitely behave and won't cause any trouble."

Since her sister refused to help, she had no choice but to take matters into her own hands.

It's just a teaching position, there's nothing you can't get.

After a busy day, Song Juan and Huang Ya walked out of the winter night.

"How are your preparations going? You're going to training soon," Huang Ya asked.

"Always ready," Song Juan said playfully.

The remaining snow crunched underfoot, and the lights in the distant courtyard were dim and yellow.

There was no one around, and the cold air was crystal clear.

Are you cold?

Song Juan: "It's not cold."

She shook her head, her voice carrying a barely perceptible nasal tone and a hint of laughter.

The two walked side by side, with a reserved distance between them.

Huang Ya looked at the sky and suddenly said, "I want to get married!"
