Chapter 73 Sister-in-law Wei deserves her punishment, and Jiang Xixi takes the blame again.
"You'll have to ask your sister-in-law. We outsiders wouldn't know anything about what's going on inside."
However~
Jiang Xixi paused for a moment at this point.
"Did Zhang Meiya ever say why she went back to her hometown? As far as I know, the military will arrange jobs for the families of martyrs, and their children will usually be placed in military schools."
Knowing her as I do, she would never pass up such an advantage.
Unless something happens in the military that forces her to return.
A mission? What did she do to deserve such an unseemly treatment of Zhang Meiya?
Thinking about the methods used by wives in the socialite circle to deal with mistresses in her previous life, Jiang Xixi had some guesses in her mind.
It has to be said that Jiang Xixi does have some talent in this area; Zhang Meiya did offend the original wife, after all.
...
Inside a stylish house in the military family compound in Lian City.
"Is everything taken care of?"
“Miss, everything is done. Zuo Jianguo and Zhang Meiya have already obtained their marriage certificate. I specially picked this man for her. He is proficient in all kinds of vices, such as eating, drinking, gambling and whoring. It can be considered as a way to avenge you back then.”
The woman addressed as "Miss" was a middle-aged woman with a pretty face. At that moment, she was holding a cup of hot tea and slowly savoring it.
After hearing the wet nurse's words, her expression did not change much.
"Now that it's all settled, don't mention her in front of me again. Disgusting~" The middle-aged woman, Li Feiya, replied indifferently.
Recalling that incident from back then, Li Feiya's expression was no longer as calm as before. She still remembered the loss she suffered at Zhang Meiya's hands back then.
She, Li Feiya, was of noble birth, doted on by her parents, and was a favored daughter of heaven since childhood.
As she grew up, amidst the envy of her peers, she became engaged to Chen Zhengyang, a man of equal social standing and also a prodigy.
Everything went incredibly smoothly for her, but a visit to her relatives almost made her the laughingstock of the entire upper class of Lian City.
Her fiancé, Li Feiya, ignored her, a woman of exceptional talent, and instead chose to marry a widow with a child.
"Chen Zhengyang, are you sure you want to do this? Where do you put the face of my Li family?" At that time, Li Feiya was still a young girl with a tender face. Faced with her fiancé's change of heart, she felt nothing but anger.
"Li Feiya, can you stop making a scene? I've already told you, Sister-in-law Wei is my good brother's wife. He died saving me. Shouldn't I help them, a widow and her child?"
Seeing the impatience on her fiancé's face, Li Feiya felt heartbroken to be honest.
"Help them, orphans and widows? Do you mean the kind of help that involves sex?" Li Feiya asked sarcastically.
Thinking about the scene I saw when I excitedly opened the door that day makes me feel nauseous.
Barely clothed, embracing each other—is this what they call helping?
They really went all out.
“Li Feiya, you’re being completely unreasonable. Let me tell you it’s a misunderstanding. Sister-in-law Wei had a fever that day. I… never mind, I can’t explain it to you.”
After Chen Zhengyang finished speaking, he put on a coat and walked outside. His impatient expression completely hurt Li Feiya's heart.
If you can't explain it to me, then who can you explain it to?
Is this your sister-in-law Wei?
Chen Zhengyang, you are heartless, don't blame me for being unjust.
It's no wonder she comes from a wealthy family; Li Feiya's methods are quite remarkable.
In just one afternoon, Chen Zhengyang and Zhang Meiya were summoned to the leader's office.
Having inappropriate relationships with the families of martyrs is unacceptable in the military.
The military punished Chen Zhengyang by demoting him from battalion commander to company commander, a reduction of two ranks.
Although Zhang Meiya is a family member of a martyr, the military will certainly not keep her after she did such a thing.
Originally, Zhang Meiya was given a job, but because her affair with Chen Zhengyang was widely publicized in the army, she felt ashamed and sold the job, taking her child back to her hometown of Huai'an.
The matter should have ended there. Given Li Feiya's status, although she was indeed disgusted by Zhang Meiya's behavior of pretending to be weak and innocent in front of her back then, it wouldn't have been so much for her to travel all the way to Huai'an years later just to teach her a lesson.
But who told Zhang Meiya to resort to such underhanded tactics?
Not long ago, when Li Feiya went to her husband's study to look for something, she found a letter that Zhang Meiya had sent to her husband.
The meaning is simple: she reminisces about the good old days, about her deceased husband, and subtly hints at the difficult situation she is currently in...
We're all women, we all know each other!
Seeing that Zhang Meiya hadn't stopped causing trouble after all these years, Li Feiya finally took that action.
It can only be said that Zhang Meiya's tragic end was mostly of her own making.
...
On her first day at work, Jiang Xixi was called to the boss's office.
She had initially thought they were going to talk about the clothes from the Rongcheng Garment Factory.
Upon entering, she saw two leaders dressed in black Lenin suits sitting upright in chairs with serious expressions, and she had a bad feeling.
"Director Wang, what's this?"
Director Wang didn't know what to say. If this was true, Xixi's newly appointed position as director would be ruined. If it were more serious, she might have to leave the department store altogether.
The thought of losing his cash cow made Director Wang's face turn sour.
"Xixi, this is Manager Chen from our department store, and the one next to him is Director Zhang from the Revolutionary Committee. They're here today to ask you some questions. Just answer truthfully."
When he said "answer truthfully," Director Wang's tone became noticeably stronger.
It seems to be sending some kind of signal to Jiang Xixi.
Jiang Xixi was a little puzzled. What could they possibly want from her?
Before she could come up with any plan, the interrogation had already begun.
"Jiang Xixi, hello. We have received information that your parents are suspected of murder for money and embezzling state property. Do you have anything to say about this?"
These words were spoken by Manager Chen of the department store, and his tone was full of regret.
Jiang Xixi is not only Director Wang's cash cow, she is also her own cash cow!
Whether I can get a promotion this year depends on her, and now it's all over.
Before Jiang Xixi could answer that question, another question from the Revolutionary Committee Director came through.
His questions were much more pointed than those of Manager Chen.
"Someone reported that you had illicit relationships, seduced your brother-in-law, and even did things to betray your sister while she was pregnant. Do you acknowledge this fact?"
Jiang Xixi felt as if a huge pot had fallen from the sky.
She seduced her brother-in-law? She had an affair?
Almost immediately after hearing Director Zhang's words, Jiang Xixi understood who was behind this trouble.
Jiang Yurou, you really are a persistent ghost!
