Zhou Shuhua arrived full of anger, but before she could even speak, Zhou Qiqi retorted, leaving her somewhat incredulous.
"What did you say?"
Zhou Qiqi shrugged lazily, her long eyelashes fluttering, her face full of innocence.
"What did I say? I just asked Director Zhou what business he had at my house?"
"You...you clearly didn't mean that!"
"Oh? What do I mean?"
Zhou Shuhua's face flushed red, and she glared fiercely at Zhou Qiqi.
"You're clearly saying I'm causing trouble! Don't think I can't tell!"
Zhou Qiqi raised an eyebrow, a playful look on her face. "Could it be that Director Zhou isn't here to cause trouble?"
"You...you...you..."
Zhou Shuhua was so choked up that she couldn't speak a complete sentence, her chest heaving violently.
How could you turn the tables and accuse me like this!
As she spoke, she realized that she had been led by the nose all along, and suddenly straightened her back and pulled out the big flag.
"Let me tell you, while Huaichuan was on a mission, all the shameless things you did, seducing men, were seen and reported to me. Your conduct is problematic, and I'm here to give you a lesson in moral education!"
Zhou Qiqi was completely bewildered.
"What shameless thing have I done? I have a clear conscience."
Zhou Shuhua rolled her eyes, her face hardened, and her tone became as serious as if she were interrogating a criminal.
"Putting everything else aside, just look at how you came back in Leiming's car this afternoon... If you really have a clear conscience, why did you stop at the entrance of the military region?"
Zhou Qiqi didn't want to cause trouble, so she chose to have Lei Ming park the car at the entrance of the military area to avoid gossip among the military wives.
I never expected that this could be used as leverage against someone.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes, looking completely indifferent.
"This is utterly absurd! Director Zhou, you're putting too much of a accusation on me. I can't accept it, and I can't give you this ideological education lesson either."
As she spoke, she looked Zhou Shuhua up and down, then slowly circled her index finger around her forehead a few times.
"I suggest you go and teach that whistleblower a lesson. Her eyes and brain are probably in serious trouble; if she doesn't get treatment soon, she might be in grave danger and we'll have to prepare for a funeral..."
Then, he added with a cheerful laugh.
"Call me then! I love big feasts!"
"Attending a banquet?"
Zhou Shuhua was stunned at first, but after realizing what was happening, her eyes turned red with anger, and her voice even sounded like she was crying.
"You...you little brat, are you cursing me to die? How could you..."
Before he could finish speaking, a horn suddenly sounded.
A jeep slowly drove up and came to a steady stop in front of the two of them.
The car door opened, and long, slender legs stepped out first, followed by a lean waist, broad shoulders, and finally, the face that Zhou Qiqi (out of obligation) had been thinking about day and night.
Shen Huaichuan is back!
Her eyes lit up instantly (out of a sense of duty), and the gloom in them vanished.
Several towns experienced mudslides and landslides. Not only the military, but also many government units in G City, including staff from the Materials Bureau, went to organize disaster relief efforts.
Hu Chunxiao, who had previously helped Zhou Qiqi build the toilet, also went to help.
She came back last night and took the opportunity to let everyone know that the rescue work over there was almost finished.
Zhou Qiqi thought Shen Huaichuan wouldn't be back until at least Saturday, but she didn't expect him to be back so soon.
And judging from his appearance, apart from being a little tired, he was perfectly fine and nothing had happened to him.
She was a little surprised, but also a little sad for no reason. She paused for a moment and didn't say anything.
As a military wife, this was the first time she had waited for her husband to return from a mission, and she had mixed feelings.
Zhou Shuhua was different; she had seen a lot.
Upon seeing Shen Huaichuan, he rushed towards him as if he had seen a savior.
"Huaichuan, you're back just in time! I have something to talk to you about."
"Director Zhou."
Shen Huaichuan nodded in greeting, his gaze shifting between the two.
"Go inside and talk to me."
Shen Huaichuan's car was the lead vehicle, and the rest of the group was about to return. The family compound was probably going to be lively soon.
Zhou Shuhua glanced at Zhou Qiqi and snorted coldly: "Fine, for your sake, I'll give her some face."
Zhou Qiqi pouted, too lazy to pay attention to her, and ran to the kitchen.
After entering the house, Zhou Shuhua said something to Shen Huaichuan, and he politely invited her to sit down in the living room.
"I'll go get you a cup of tea."
As he spoke, he carried the teapot to the kitchen and frowned as he looked at Zhou Qiqi.
"Director Zhou has something to say, please excuse us for a moment."
"If we're going to avoid it, then we will."
Zhou Qiqi had just poured Shen Huaichuan a glass of warm water, thinking that he must be thirsty after coming back from outside.
Hearing his words now felt like a thorn had been stuck in my heart, leaving me feeling sullen.
Without saying a word, he tilted his head back and drank the water in one gulp right in front of him, then picked up the teapot and headed to the bedroom.
As Shen Huaichuan watched her sullen back, the weariness in his eyes vanished instantly, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
Meanwhile, Zhou Shuhua in the living room was craning her neck in anticipation.
She hadn't drunk any water since leaving the office in the afternoon, and had been holding on until now, her throat was so dry and sore.
Seeing that the teapot was still empty when Shen Huaichuan came out, he immediately realized that Zhou Qiqi was up to no good, and slammed his hand on the table.
"Huaichuan, I'll be blunt, your wife has questionable morals!"
Then he launched into a long, detailed rant.
The doors to the house are just thin wooden boards, which can't block out any noise at all.
Zhou Qiqi lay on the bed, her hand holding the pen pausing repeatedly as Zhou Shuhua's words entered her ears.
