Chapter 131 Let's join forces and teach her a lesson.

"You? Help me?"

Gao Xiaoman looked Bai Lu up and down suspiciously, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"You're really that kind?"

Bai Lu took a step forward, and Gao Xiaoman unconsciously took two steps back.

You should know that Hao Yan wanted her husband to steal my job, right?

Bai Lu's voice was not loud, but every word was clear.

Gao Xiaoman nodded: "Who in the compound doesn't know about Hao Yan's messy affairs?"

Her tone carried her usual disdain.

"She mentions it to Hao Mei 800 times a day. Everyone knows she's really trying to get Wang Ming to teach in the compound and take your place, who hasn't even been officially hired yet."

Bai Lu had been waiting for these words from her.

She continued, "Last time, her husband spread rumors about your husband and me for the same purpose. He wanted to muddy the waters so he could fish in troubled waters."

Gao Xiaoman frowned; what she said seemed to make some sense.

"Hao Yan is coveting my job, smearing your husband, and just now she even tried to blackmail you."

Bai Lu spoke very slowly, like hammer blows striking Gao Xiaoman's heart.

"She is our common enemy."

“That’s why,” Bai Lu said firmly, “I’m going to help you.”

Looking at Gao Xiaoman's still suspicious eyes, she knew that she had to resort to drastic measures, so she simply revealed her hand.

Bai Lu spoke very slowly, afraid that Gao Xiaoman's dull mind wouldn't understand.

"Helping you is also helping myself."

If a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth.

To convince Gao Xiaoman, Bai Lu had to reveal her true purpose.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and she leaned closer to ask, "So, how do you plan to help me?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized he had lost his composure and quickly added a sentence while raising his chin.

"But I don't need your help with anything."

Her most important task right now is to have a son. With Wong Tai Sin's blessing, she doesn't need to worry too much.

What does Hao Yan's husband's work dispute with Bai Lu have to do with her?

Bai Lu could easily see through her thoughts, and a knowing smile appeared on her lips.

"Do you think that just because you gave Hao Yan money today, she'll let you off the hook?"

Have you ever heard of the term 'bottomless pit'?

If she asks you for money again, will you give it to her or not?

"Just because of a yellow talisman, you're willing to be her wallet for the rest of your life?"

Every word struck Gao Xiaoman's heart, and her brows furrowed into a deep knot.

Seeing this, Bai Lu pretended to turn around and said, "If you're willing to be this punching bag, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

She walked very slowly, silently counting in her mind: one, two...

Before I could even count to three, my sleeve was suddenly grabbed.

Gao Xiaoman caught up, her feigned arrogance completely shattered, leaving only panic on her face.

"Comrade Bai, you...you have to help me!"

The little money the family had saved was spent like water, and most of their savings were spent just on offerings to Wong Tai Sin.

If Hao Yan were to exploit her again, she really wouldn't be able to take it.

Bai Lu turned around, her gaze falling on the yellow talisman she was clutching tightly.

His tone left no room for argument: "You'd better burn this."

Gao Xiaoman recoiled as if she had been burned.

He shook his head firmly: "No! Everything else is negotiable except for this!"

Bai Lu stared at her silently for a moment, then took a step back.

"Then hide it, hide it somewhere no one can find it."

"If Hao Yan brings it up again, just deny it to the death. As long as there's no stolen goods, she can't do anything to you."

Gao Xiaoman nodded repeatedly; she could do it.

Bai Lu softened her tone and said a few more auspicious things, saying that the child in her belly was obviously a boy.

He coaxed Gao Xiaoman until she beamed with joy and gradually lowered her guard.

After going around in circles, Bai Lu finally got to the point.

His voice was very low, "Hao Yan is the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. In a one-on-one fight, either of us might suffer. Why don't we..."

“Let’s team up and teach her a lesson. It will not only vent your anger but also put an end to her idea of ​​stealing my job.”

——

Friday evening.

Song Juan waited in the dormitory for a long time but Huang Ya did not appear.

"Didn't you say you were coming to pick me up?"

She muttered to herself and spun around in circles.

Without a car, and with the road so far, how will she get back?

She couldn't contact Shen Kun either.

Once she left the compound, she realized she had no relatives or friends.

Aunt Feng finished packing her things and, seeing her lost in thought, asked, "Aren't you going home this weekend?"

Song Juan didn't want her to worry.

He simply said, "I'm going back. Someone will come to pick me up in a little while."

Aunt Feng looked at the sky and said, "Why don't we go to my house first?"

It's getting dark, and it's not safe for a girl to be out alone.

Song Juan really wanted to agree, but she was afraid that Huang Ya wouldn't be able to find her when he arrived.

She could only refuse: "No need, Aunt Feng, you should go back now, I'm fine."

Aunt Feng didn't ask any more questions and left, turning back every few steps.

Just as Song Juan was waiting anxiously, she saw a familiar figure.

That person was neither Huang Ya nor Shen Kun, but Zhang Kuan.

"Comrade Song, get in the car quickly."

Zhang Kuan wasn't very good at driving a donkey cart, and the donkey walked erratically the whole way.

Finally, we left the village and arrived at a flat intersection.

Liang Yi was already waiting there. "Comrade Song, this way."

Zhang Kuan patted the jeep: "This is a car that people should be able to ride in."

Liang Yi scolded him impatiently, "Be gentle, you've damaged the car."

Song Juan stood there awkwardly, somewhat hesitant to get into Commander Liang's car.

Hao Mei waved to her warmly: "Come on up, let's go back soon, it's freezing outside."

Song Juan got into the car, still very nervous, sitting upright and not daring to move.

After thinking it over, he finally asked the question that had been bothering him: "Political Commissar Hao, why didn't Dr. Huang... why didn't he and my brother come?"

Hao Mei retorted, "Your brother? He went back to his hometown, didn't you know?"

Song Juan frowned. Why did her brother go back to his hometown for no reason? He had never gone back on his own initiative.

"What about Dr. Huang?"

Hao Mei: "It seems he's taken leave, for several days now."

Song Juan gave a disappointed "oh," and asked, "Why did he take leave? Is he sick?"

Song Juan was in a state of confusion, and Hao Mei, seeing her distraught state, took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"Isn't it strange that we came to pick you up?"

Song Juan nodded, looking very puzzled.

Shen Wanjun was well aware that she and Hao Mei did not have a good relationship.

"It was your sister-in-law who sent us."

Upon hearing that it was Shen Wanjun who was thinking of her, Song Juan felt a warmth in her heart.

My sister-in-law is very thoughtful. Knowing that she was going home today, she insisted on asking Hao Mei and her husband, with whom she doesn't have a good relationship, for help.

"Thank you all," Song Juan said with a smile.

Hao Mei hesitated for a long time, then decided to tell her the truth.

"Your sister-in-law fainted, but she woke up for a while this morning and asked me to come pick you up."

Song Juan exclaimed in surprise, "She fainted? How could that be? Where is she now? Is she alright?"

Hao Mei took her cold hand and said, "Your sister-in-law has a fever. Dr. Tang said she may have caught the disease from the pigeons."

"A pigeon?!" Song Juan's face turned pale.

She was the one who fed the pigeons, but she forgot to tell Song Zhan when she left.

Huang Ya had previously said that he wanted to keep Shen Wanjun away from pigeons.

Shen Wanjun must have personally fed the pigeons to catch the infection.

Song Juan felt guilty, trembling all over, feeling both cold and scared.

The jeep stopped in front of the military hospital, and Song Juan jumped out and rushed into the ward.

He hugged Shen Wanjun and cried out, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, wake up!"

Dang Xianghong comforted her, saying, "Don't cry, your sister-in-law is a lucky person."

Without medicine, everything depends on Shen Wanjun's fate.

Song Juan didn't want to wait, so she ran to Tang Renyi and said, "Dr. Tang, could you please process my sister-in-law's transfer to another hospital?"

Where do you want to go?
