Chapter 118 You Fools
Chu Mingzhou recounted the whole cause and effect in detail, omitting the speculation that Brigade Commander Tang might have considered his daughter, and only emphasized the inexplicable obstruction in the process.
After listening to this, Head Xu's face became serious. "Logically speaking, as long as both of you have no objection, you can just withdraw the application and go through the normal process. It's really strange that it's dragging on."
"Uncle Xu, I'm afraid something might go wrong. If the application is processed incorrectly, An An and I will be completely in a passive position. You have to help me!" Chu Mingzhou spoke earnestly and his eyes were anxious.
Captain Xu patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, since you have come to me, I cannot just sit there and watch. I will talk to Captain Tang about this matter."
Chu Mingzhou finally felt relieved after receiving Captain Xu's approval, "Uncle Xu, and Uncle Li and the others..."
Captain Xu was amused. "You kid, just for such a small matter, you want us to go and talk to Brigade Commander Tang on your behalf?"
"Thank you, Uncle Xu."
Chu Mingzhou didn't answer this, but thanked him first.
"Okay, okay, I get it. I'll go and tell them for you. Don't worry."
After leaving Captain Xu's house, Chu Mingzhou felt a little more relaxed.
When she got home, Lin Anan noticed the difference in his expression at a glance, "Mingzhou, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Mingzhou didn't want to make her worry too much, so he forced a smile and said, "It's okay. The divorce application can only be obtained after the Lantern Festival, so... you wait a little longer."
Lin Anan frowned slightly, but she didn't know much about the rules here, nor was she clear about how military marriages were handled in this era. "It's okay, it doesn't matter if there are a few days."
Chu Mingzhou held her hand and hummed softly, "Don't worry, I won't divorce you."
"An'an, come here quickly." Aunt Chu called Lin An'an in the kitchen. Lin An'an stood up immediately without dwelling on this issue.
“Here I come.”
Chu Mingzhou opened his mouth, but finally had to put the matter aside and went forward to help.
Aunt Chu was making fermented tofu. Rows of fermented tofu had been neatly stacked. Each piece of tofu was covered with a layer of snow-white fluff, making it look white and plump.
Aunt Chu pointed to the pile of seasonings in front of her and said to Lin Anan with a smile, "People in the northwest like spicy fermented bean curd, so I made it spicy. But don't worry, Anan, I will prepare a clay pot for you to make it non-spicy."
As Aunt Chu spoke, she transferred a plate of moldy soy milk into a large bowl, sprinkled seasonings evenly on it, especially chili peppers, a lot of them, and then added white wine to sterilize it.
"You need to shake it evenly, and after it's sealed, you can eat it after 15 days."
Lin Anan watched with great interest, "I see."
The kitchen was filled with the aroma of spices.
Just as we finished this, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
It’s Dai Lihua who is here.
"I just happened to be going to the health company, so I took An An to get the auxiliary injection, and I also did some nebulization. I was delayed last time, so from now on, it will be scheduled every Thursday, and we have to do it on time."
Aunt Chu washed her hands quickly, "Lihua is here? It's rare for you to come here on the third day of the New Year to drive people to get injections."
Dai Lihua smiled and joked: "Yes, An An will probably be afraid of me."
"An'an, hurry up and pack your things and go with your sister Lihua. We can't delay seeing the doctor."
"Yeah, okay."
What Lin Anan cares about most is her body. With Dai Lihua's careful encouragement, she is very grateful and would never be unwilling.
After packing up, she left with Dai Lihua immediately without letting Chu Mingzhou follow her.
This is a shot in the buttocks, I don't want him to accompany me...
"It's not far anyway. I'll be back soon."
"Okay, be safe."
"I will." He waved towards Chu Mingzhou.
Not long after walking, they ran into Tang Jingqiao halfway. There were a few people following her, all of them were unfamiliar faces, and Lin Anan didn't recognize them.
As soon as Tang Jingqiao saw Lin Anan, her eyes turned unfriendly.
She just approached a few people around her and said something.
Dai Lihua was chatting with Lin Anan when she was suddenly interrupted!
"Isn't this Doctor Dai? Where are you going?"
One of the round-faced girls spoke first. While she was talking, she took several steps forward and blocked the way of the two men.
Dai Lihua was startled, and after seeing who it was, she nodded, "Shi Lai Di, I'm here to bring a friend back to the health company, what can I do for you?"
Shi Lai Di did not answer but asked: "Doctor Dai, who is this person next to you?"
Shi Lai Di was also from the military compound. Everyone had seen Lin An An in the cultural performance, and there was also the Aunt Wang incident a few days ago. It was impossible for her not to know who Lin An An was. She was just asking even though she knew the answer.
Dai Lihua didn't think too much about it, and raised her hand to introduce: "This is Comrade Lin, Lin Anan, the daughter-in-law of the Mingzhou family."
Shi Lai Di glanced up and down at Lin An An, "Oh~ You are Captain Chu's wife?"
Without waiting for Lin Anan to reply, two more people came up from behind Shi Laidie and started talking nonsense.
"Who? You said...she is Captain Chu's ungrateful wife?"
"Look at her, she's so weak, as if she's dying. I don't know why Captain Chu likes her."
Dai Lihua's face darkened instantly. "No, Hu Yuqin, Chen Zhaoxia, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Even a fool could see clearly from the situation before them that they had run into someone looking for trouble.
Dai Lihua glanced behind them and met Tang Jingqiao's half-smile.
Chen Zhaoxia: "As the saying goes, 'If you keep company with good people, you will become good; if you keep company with bad people, you will become bad.' Doctor Dai used to have such a good reputation, how could he be so uncultured now?"
Hu Yuqin: "That's right. Last year the army publicly praised Doctor Dai. I didn't expect him to be so rude."
Dai Lihua has a bad temper, and unlike Lin Anan who can keep her composure, she exploded almost immediately!
He put his hands on his hips, pointed at the two men and shouted angrily, "Quality is something we talk about to others. What does it have to do with you? Believe it or not, I will go find your leaders right now and see if they can control your big mouths!"
He turned his hand and pointed at Shi Lai Di, "And you, Shi Lai Di, why are you meddling in this? Get out of the way."
Shi Laidie was frightened by Dai Lihua's momentum and took a step back.
Hu Yuqin and Chen Zhaoxia also paused...
Chen Zhaoxia was still annoyed. "Doctor Dai, don't bully others by relying on your status! Lin Anan's matter was not told by us. Everyone in the compound doesn't know about it. Everyone is not talking about it now, but they don't dare to say it. It's not like she has become better."
Dai Lihua sneered: "You bunch of idiots, do you think I don't know what you are thinking? An An is kind and gentle, and she has a good relationship with Ming Zhou! How can you say she is an ungrateful person?
You are just jealous. If you have the ability, you can find a good man like Mingzhou. Tang Jingqiao, don't laugh behind me! If you have the ability, don't think about other people's men. You don't have to do little things all day long. You have no shame!"
Tang Jingqiao's face darkened when she was called out, and she stepped forward: "Dai Lihua, stop meddling in other people's business! Lin Anan is not worthy of Captain Chu, that's a fact."
Dai Lihua did not back down: "Who is worthy of her? You? Why don't you look in the mirror? You are so ugly, it would be strange if Mingzhou would like you."
"you!"
Looking at Tang Jingqiao's deflated look, Lin Anan couldn't help but smile.
She gently raised her hand to stop Dai Lihua, "Sister Lihua, let's go! I'm not in good health. If a dog bites me, I really can't bite it back..."
