Chapter 106 Captain Chu, he is waiting for your wife there
Aunt Li was obviously feeling guilty, but her daughter-in-law next to her was still stiff-necked and said, "Hey, we have nothing in common with you, so how can we say we have offended you?
Besides, flies don't bite seamless eggs. If you haven't done it, why would so many people in the compound spread gossip about you instead of you? "
Lin Anan laughed angrily.
“Is the victim blaming?”
"Victim?" Li's wife stepped forward and looked at Chu Mingzhou. "Captain Chu, don't blame me for being harsh! Just the day before yesterday, a man was arguing with your wife at the doorstep. It was obvious that he was not innocent. Everyone saw it with their own eyes."
"Male?" Lin Anan didn't react for a moment.
"You're still pretending. It's just a man, very tall and handsome, younger than Captain Chu."
Lin Anan remembered, it was Qiao Xu!
Was Qiao Xu seen squatting at the door of his house?
Lin Anan took a deep breath and said frankly, "So that's what happened! Comrade Qiao came to study from the Northern Theater Command. He came to my house just to pass on a message. I don't know him at all. There's nothing shameful about it."
Li's wife rolled her eyes, obviously not believing it, "Captain Chu is so good to you, but when he's away on a business trip, you flirt with others everywhere, and you dare not take responsibility for it!"
Chu Mingzhou's face became increasingly gloomy, and he looked at Lin Anan deeply.
Lin Anan is open and honest. She is not afraid of anything she has never done.
Chu Mingzhou glanced at everyone, "Is this little unfounded matter worth your efforts to spread rumors? I think some people just have too much free time and love to stir up trouble!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Aunt Li wanted to argue a little more: "We have good intentions, and we are afraid that your daughter-in-law will learn bad things..."
"That's enough!" Chu Mingzhou scolded, "I know what kind of person An An is. I will get to the bottom of this matter. If anyone spreads gossip again in the future, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Aunt Chu nodded in agreement: "That's right, we are neighbors, we should take care of each other. How can we get along with each other in the future if we keep doing these things?"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law blushed, and Aunt Li apologized quickly: "Yes, yes, it's all our fault. We shouldn't have listened to one side. Captain Chu, please be magnanimous and don't bother with us."
Having said that, he grabbed his wife fiercely and walked away dejectedly, fearing that she would say another word.
Others also joined in to smooth things over, and the atmosphere in the room finally eased.
"Grandma Chu, it was Aunt Wang who said it. She said she saw it with her own eyes and heard it with her own ears. She spoke very convincingly, so... we are also half-believing and half-doubting."
Aunt Chu pushed up her sleeves and put her hands on her hips. "What's the matter with this daughter-in-law of the Wang family? I've heard that she has targeted my An An several times. It's New Year's Day. If she dares to make up such nonsense, I will make sure she has a miserable New Year."
Lin Anan hurriedly tried to calm Aunt Chu down, "Aunt, don't be angry first."
Chu Mingzhou frowned even more tightly, and pursed his lips tightly, "I'm going out for a while."
After saying that, he didn't care about everyone's expressions and went straight to Wang's house.
Chu Mingzhou has always been calm and collected, and rarely gets as angry as he is now.
Aunt Chu sighed, took Lin Anan's hand, and patted it gently, "Don't be afraid, good child. Mingzhou has already dealt with it. He can't let his wife suffer any loss."
Lin Anan felt warm in her heart. With Aunt Chu protecting her and Chu Mingzhou backing her up without hesitation, these rumors were really nothing.
"Aunt, I am not angry. Those who are innocent will be innocent."
"Yes, don't take it to heart, let's just spend the New Year comfortably."
"Um."
The ingredients were almost done, and after this incident, Aunt Chu lost interest in everything. She drove Lin Anan back to her room and dealt with these people herself. She sent away those who should be sent away, gave advice to those who needed it, and punished those who needed it.
Chu Mingzhou went directly to Wang's house and took Aunt Wang to the security department.
As soon as they arrived at the Security Department, they were shocked by the scene!
After explaining the situation, an interrogation room was immediately arranged.
The atmosphere in the interrogation room was so solemn that it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it. Chu Mingzhou folded his arms, his eyes as cold as a frost knife on a cold night, staring straight at Aunt Wang. The oppressive feeling in his eyes made Aunt Wang shrink even more.
"I don't have the patience to beat around the bush with you. Why do you keep trying to harm my wife? You'd better tell me everything." Chu Mingzhou's voice was low, but it carried an unquestionable intimidation.
Aunt Wang was so frightened that her legs went limp. She stammered, "Captain Chu, I... I really mean no harm. The day before yesterday, I saw that man at your door. He was waiting for your wife in the cold weather! He also said that he would wait until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and when you two were divorced, he would take her away..."
Aunt Wang was not lying. The wall that Qiao Xu was leaning against was right next to her window, and she heard everything Qiao Xu said, including the few random words he said afterwards.
"I was wondering in my heart, unconsciously..."
"Unconsciously making up stories?" Chu Mingzhou suddenly raised his voice. "Qiao Xu is a comrade in the Northern Theater Command. He asked my wife to pass a message to me. How did you make it into something dirty? How can my wife live in the compound in the future if you make up stories like this?"
Aunt Wang was yelled at by Chu Mingzhou and felt aggrieved, "How should I know this? That day, you and my little tiger went to send the leader off. As soon as you left, the man came right after you left. It was so cold, and he stood at your door waiting for you stupidly..."
Aunt Wang added fuel to the fire and exaggerated the story of Qiao Xu waiting for Lin Anan that day.
Chu Mingzhou interrupted her and said sternly: "You have distorted the facts and slandered me at will, causing great harm to my wife. I will never forgive you!"
Aunt Wang's heart skipped a beat. She shook her head and muttered, "Captain Chu, I really didn't know! I didn't think too much about it at the time."
Several comrades from the Security Department also looked dissatisfied. One of them couldn't help but complain: "Aunt Wang, you are such a chatterbox. You have ruined the atmosphere of the compound. We should live in harmony with our neighbors, but you are always causing trouble."
As he was speaking, Wang Hu rushed in, panting heavily. He must have come in a hurry.
"battalion commander!"
He saluted, secretly glanced at his mother, and thought to himself that something was wrong.
Chu Mingzhou didn't even look at him, and directly ordered: "Let the Security Department handle this matter according to the regulations. Wang Hu, don't think you can stay out of it. Submit your self-criticism report to the camp before the end of the year and reflect on your mother's habit of spreading rumors. Have you neglected your responsibility in disciplining her?"
Wang Hu replied with a bitter face: "Yes!"
He complained bitterly to his mother in his heart. He had been thinking that his family could spend the New Year peacefully, but now, everything was ruined.
When Aunt Wang heard that she was going to be dealt with by the Security Department, she panicked and burst into tears: "Captain Chu, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please have mercy on me and forgive me this time. I won't dare to do it again..."
She wanted to pull the corner of Chu Mingzhou's clothes, but Chu Mingzhou dodged sideways.
Chu Mingzhou was unmoved, his expression stern: "You know how to beg for mercy now? It's too late!"
After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Aunt Wang's crying, turned around and strode out of the Security Office.
At this moment, Chu Mingzhou was furious. He wanted to go home, but he turned around and walked towards Lu Qing's house.
