Chapter 414 Introduction
Chu Mingzhou listened to Chu Mingyu's incoherent complaints, paused his chopsticks in the bowl, and didn't say much.
After finishing the meal, he helped Lin Anan take a walk in the yard and said, "I will go talk to Captain Wu tomorrow, don't worry about this."
"I don't worry about it, and you don't have to tell him so much. I'm just afraid that if things get out of hand, it'll be embarrassing for you."
Chu Mingzhou frowned slightly, "This is a matter of principle, it's not about face. I only ask you to take good care of yourself now, the rest doesn't matter."
"I'm just worried that Dujuan will suffer."
"This is a matter between women, men can't interfere."
"right."
Lin Anan's eyes curved with smile.
Chu Mingzhou's meaning was all in his words. No matter how big the matter was, he could define it as a trivial matter between women. If the other man dared to interfere, the meaning would change.
As for what will be involved after Du Juan's report, Chu Mingzhou will take responsibility for it.
Lin Anan never expected that Du Juan would be so fast...
That very night, when Ma Chunyan provoked her again, Du Juan exploded!
"Aunts, please make way. It's so rare that the new bride comes to wash the clothes herself. I thought those who received a dowry of 2,000 yuan were all treated like gilded ladies and didn't have to do the work themselves!" Ma Chunyan wrung the mop with such force that water splashed everywhere. As she spoke, she almost splashed Du Juan with water.
Du Juan didn't intend to fall out with the other party so quickly, but she just came to wash clothes and hadn't done anything yet, but she was being insulted like this?
Thinking about what Lin Anan said today, Du Juan instantly gained confidence. She placed the bucket heavily on the ground, and the iron ring made a harsh sound when it hit the stone slab.
"Comrade Ma, I advise you to keep your mouth shut. You have been provocative again and again, and you have always used insulting words to swear at me. You are maliciously slandering me and deliberately destroying the morale of military families!"
The female comrades who were washing clothes around immediately stopped what they were doing.
Ma Chunyan was also stunned!
She had understood this girl's temperament in the past few days. She would not react to her casual remarks and would just turn around and walk away. She was angry during the day, so she only said a few words back without any offensive power...
Ma Chunyan frowned and slammed the mop on the ground. "Don't accuse me. Which ear of yours heard me say that? I said you were slandering me!"
If it were any other time, Du Juan would have been speechless, but now she has learned to adapt.
His expression became serious, and every word he said was sonorous and powerful. "Comrade Ma, my husband's family values me, so they are willing to spend a lot of money to marry me. This really shouldn't be the reason for you to make up stories about me. To put it bluntly, this is my family affair.
Besides, we are not that familiar with each other, and you always speak harshly to me, which really hurts my heart. Since I moved into the tube building, I have been very happy. I think the neighbors are all people of high quality, and we should help each other. "
As Du Juan spoke, her eyes were still scanning the people around her, and finally fell back on Ma Chunyan's face. She sighed and shook her head.
There was a moment of silence all around.
An aunt with a good temper stood up and tried to persuade them to reconcile, but Ma Chunyan didn't give her a chance at all. "Look! Look! Did everyone hear it? She came to show off in front of us. Does she really think anyone has never seen money?
We are helping each other, why should I help you? I don't even want to see you showing off like this!"
As soon as Ma Chunyan finished speaking, Du Juan's face immediately showed grievance, "Yes, two thousand yuan is indeed not a lot of money, it's nothing great, but..."
"Just what do you mean just? I'm telling you, don't think I don't know what kind of person you are! Do you think it's great that you're the only one? Who knows that you had to please your husband's family so much to get this!
Unlike my niece, who just beckoned and the man immediately said yes, and even begged me to marry her eagerly. There is nothing I can do about it, because our daughters are all well-off! Unlike some people."
Seeing that everyone around her was looking at her eagerly, Ma Chunyan spoke more and more excitedly.
"You're talking about... aren't you talking about Wu Jiao? I heard that Wu Jiao is proposing marriage to Shi Tianci from the Shi family. The Shi family is very generous." Du Juan suddenly interrupted.
Ma Chunyan answered without thinking: "That's right! The Shi family promised a betrothal gift of 2,000 yuan plus three turns and one ring, and even ordered 96 brand new legs for the furniture!"
There was another moment of silence all around.
Then there were bursts of whispers.
Ma Chunyan hadn't reacted yet and had no idea that she had been tricked by Du Juan.
"So, if you compare yourself with others, you will die; if you compare goods, you will throw them away."
Du Juan blinked her eyes. She didn't expect it to be so simple...
"Comrade Ma, I believe Wu Jiao is also an excellent female comrade, so the Shi family is willing to pay so much for her. We are all revolutionary comrades, and I also wish them all the best in getting married."
"Come on! Don't think I don't know that you have always been jealous of Jiaojiao."
Du Juan: “…”
"No."
Ma Chunyan glared at Du Juan fiercely and snorted, "Don't be too happy too soon. Who knows how much your man will regret marrying you!"
After Ma Chunyan finished speaking, she wanted to pick up the mop and leave.
Before she could finish her words, Du Juan would not let her go. She took a step to the left and blocked Ma Chunyan's way. "Comrade Ma, I don't know what grudge we had that made you so angry with me. It's okay for me to be wronged. I just want to ask you not to target my sister."
"Your sister?" Ma Chunyan saw Du Juan start to speak in a gentle voice. She rolled her eyes and found an excuse in an instant, "Are you talking about Captain Chu's wife? I don't even want to say anything about her, but she's so proud of herself because she's pregnant, as if she's never been pregnant before."
"No, my sister doesn't have it. She's not in good health..."
Before Du Juan could finish her words, Ma Chunyan said, "Stop making excuses for me. I, Ma Chunyan, have lived for more than 30 years and have seen people with no manners, but I have never seen anyone as uncultured as you, my sister-in-law!"
Ma Chunyan felt that it was not enough to talk to Du Juan alone, so she turned to the direction where the crowd was, and slammed the mop on the ground again, clapping her hands.
"Everyone, please judge for yourself. When I first saw Captain Chu's wife, she was quite uncultured! I gave her dried persimmons with good intentions, but she..."
She recounted the scene of her first meeting with Lin Anan with extra embellishments.
Ma Chunyan was talking with saliva flying everywhere.
Du Juan complained, "Comrade Ma, you can't say that! My sister is a disaster relief hero and a soldier. She is allergic to persimmons, not what you said."
"Come on! She is just precious and looks down on the food I give her!"
"That's not the case. My sister is not the kind of person you say she is. You are insulting the soldiers..."
