Chapter 166 Qiao Cui Offers Compensation
At this time, the sisters-in-law in the family compound were all free, eating melons and chatting. When they heard the sound, they immediately opened the door and asked:
"What's the matter?"
Ruan Yuntang pointed at the box at his feet helplessly and said to the others:
"Aunt Qiao just said she wanted to compensate me, then she dropped the box and ran off. How could I possibly accept it?"
Upon hearing this, several people closed their doors and walked towards Ruan Yuntang.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? This is what she should compensate for!"
As they spoke, the curiosity in their eyes could not be hidden, and they urged:
"Comrade Xiao Ruan, come and see what Sister Qiao has compensated you for."
Ruan Yuntang opened the box hesitantly.
Everyone rushed over to take a look and couldn't help but gasp.
"Oh my god, am I seeing things? That looks like Moutai liquor, and it costs seven or eight yuan a bottle!"
"Here are also vanishing creams and rouge and powder, which are only available in department stores!"
"There's actually a new dress, the fabric is really good!"
"There's also a notebook and a pen here!"
Everyone looked at Ruan Yuntang with envy, and then looked at him with a calm face, and couldn't help but persuade him:
"Comrade Ruan, Sister Qiao has really spent a lot of money this time, and I sincerely ask for your forgiveness."
"Yeah, they've basically sent everything they can think of. It must have drained her family's savings!"
…
Ruan Yuntang listened to everyone talking, lowered his eyes to look at the things in the box, a strange look in his eyes.
She thought Qiao Cui was going to send her some disgusting things to trick her, so she called the neighbors around to open the box.
But now, the box contains not only valuable things but also sincerity. What does Qiao Cui mean?
After thinking about it, Ruan Yuntang still felt that there was something fishy going on. He closed the box and whispered:
"These are too valuable. I can't accept them. I'd better find a chance to return them to Aunt Qiao."
When everyone heard this, half of them advised her to accept it, and the other half agreed very much.
After listening to their analysis, Ruan Yuntang thanked them and returned to the house.
After the meal was ready, Jiang Yubai also came back.
Ruan Yuntang handed the box to him.
"The things here are too valuable. You'd better help me return them." As she said this, she took out the notebook and pen from the box.
She didn't have time to look at it carefully when she was outside. After she came back and looked at it carefully, she found that the pen was actually a Parker brand, and the first page of the notebook was also stamped with a military badge.
It was obvious that this was not Qiao Cui's.
After Jiang Yubai saw it, his eyes changed and his brows knitted deeply.
"This is a prize that Deputy Political Commissar Chen received for his meritorious service. He himself was reluctant to use it."
Ruan Yuntang stared in shock.
Qiao Cui and her daughter are really brave. They even dare to give these prizes away.
Immediately her face turned cold.
She could probably guess what they were going to do.
"You have to return it to Deputy Political Commissar Chen tomorrow and explain it clearly." Ruan Yuntang reminded in a low voice.
Jiang Yubai understood what she meant.
Early the next morning, he went to Chen Gang's office before Ruan Yuntang woke up.
Chen Gang was also about to look for him. He glanced at him as he walked in, his face as dark as ink.
"You should take better care of your wife!" Chen Gang snorted coldly.
He thought about how his daughter fell ill again last night and he went home to visit her. Seeing the empty house and his empty box, his face turned green.
My daughter's cupboards and dressing table were so empty that there wasn't even anything to wash her face.
After asking, he found out that all these things in the house were taken away by Ruan Yuntang as compensation.
Including rewards representing his merits!
That was something he had kept for many years and was reluctant to use!
"What happened to my wife?" Jiang Yubai put the box on the desk, his voice cold.
Seeing his attitude, Chen Gang's face became even uglier.
Because his daughter had made inappropriate remarks about Jiang Yubai, he had not dared to face Jiang Yubai during this period, and even locked his daughter at home for a month to reflect.
Until yesterday, my daughter was pale and crying in my arms, she was out of breath and said with a choked voice:
"She just treated Jiang Yubai like her old brother, so she spoke without restraint, which led to misunderstandings. She didn't have any other feelings for Jiang Yubai..."
Chen Gang couldn't help but think of a few years ago when he had suggested to his daughter that she should not marry Yu Bai, and his daughter refused without hesitation.
He knew that his daughter was proud and looked down on Jiang Yubai, who had just been promoted to company commander, so he never mentioned it again.
Now that Jiang Yubai is married, how could his daughter possibly have any thoughts about a married man?
"I've already punished your wife for what happened a few days ago. I know I've let her down, so I'm asking Aunt Qiao to come and apologize."
"And your wife not only scolded her harshly, but also demanded a lot of compensation."
"It's fine if you want compensation, but you still have to come to me in the end!"
"Yubai, I remember I didn't treat you harshly."
Chen Gang's face darkened, and he stared at the person in front of him with sharp eyes, questioning him unhappily.
Jiang Yubai didn't say anything, just opened the box at hand.
"First of all, I don't think there's anything wrong with my wife asking for the compensation she deserves. However, after receiving the items last night, she saw that they were valuable and asked me to return them."
"Secondly, Aunt Qiao said she came to apologize, but in reality, she was blaming my wife for not forgiving you and your marriage. Is that what you call an apology?"
Chen Gang's eyes swept across the box of things, and after hearing his question, his old face flushed red, and he said angrily:
"Is that how she apologized?"
Jiang Yubai didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
Chen Gang understood everything at once. After a moment of contemplation, he continued:
"But your wife embarrassed Aunt Qiao in public and asked her to pay compensation. Do you think that's okay?"
Jiang Yubai didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly said, "I unconditionally support every decision my wife makes."
Chen Gang's face turned green again, and he looked at him with a look of disappointment.
"Yubai, every time you get hurt, you become even more of a wimp!"
"Commissar, I don't think it's a weakling to support my wife," he said.
Chen Gang sneered, a deep regret churning in his heart.
If he had strongly opposed it at the beginning, Yu Bai would not have become what he is now.
Thinking of something, he said, "Yubai, the higher-ups are planning to set up a special forces team. Your injury is almost healed, so it's a good opportunity for you to go to Jing City for special training."
Jiang Yubai's eyes moved slightly, and he declined calmly, "My old illness has relapsed, and I want to have a good rest for a while."
Chen Gang glared at him when he heard this, and angrily picked up the book on the table and threw it over.
"If you don't go, forget it. You really can't live without women for a moment. You are ruined!"
Jiang Yubai turned his head and calmly avoided it without refutation.
There was indeed Tangtang's reason why he didn't go this time.
He didn't know whether the earthquake actually happened here, and he didn't dare to take the risk of losing her.
Chen Gang was so angry that he changed people and asked someone to call Shen Lieyang.
Shen Lieyang and Jiang Yubai passed by each other, and with a somewhat unnatural expression, he called out, "Captain."
