Chapter 96 There are always people who can't stand seeing others do well
Ma Siqing asked Tong Shiyu to help her put the mud into small jars, planning to grow cucumber and corn seedlings first and then transplant them to the field.
Ma Siqing planted cabbage in the field in front of Zhong Guofan's house, and potatoes in front of Chen Xiaowei's house.
In front of Ma Siqing's own house, she planned to plant some cucumbers and corn.
Although the vegetable field is not big, it is enough for Ma Siqing to take care of it.
Aunt Feng often came to tell Ma Siqing how to take care of the field and how to plant vegetables to grow well.
In order to thank Aunt Feng, Ma Siqing took a small bag of oil bean seeds from the Space Supermarket and gave them to Aunt Feng, saying that her own field could not plant so much and she was afraid that the seeds would go bad if she kept them.
The other military dependents in the military compound watched Ma Siqing and Aunt Feng working in the vegetable fields. Some were tempted, but many were reluctant to follow suit because of their face.
After about ten days, the cucumber and corn seedlings that Ma Siqing had grown had grown. On a sunny day, Ma Siqing asked Tong Shiyu to plant the cucumber and corn seedlings with her in the field in front of her house.
In mid-April, the weather in Anling became warmer, and Ma Siqing's belly was already very big.
Aunt Feng looked at Ma Siqing's bulging belly and thought about how she was pregnant with Mao Xiaowang in five months. She
hurriedly asked Ma Siqing if she felt uncomfortable.
Ma Siqing replied that she didn't, everything was normal, she could eat and sleep, but she was easily tired.
Ma Siqing saw Aunt Feng's worried expression and kept it in mind.
The cabbages outside Zhong Guofan's house have also grown. Ma Siqing counted them and found a total of eighty.
If all of them survive, they can be eaten for a long time.
The potatoes outside Chen Xiaowei's house have also sprouted, growing green and lush, which makes people happy.
If all of these are harvested, a lot of money can be saved.
The cucumber and corn vines have also grown after a week of planting.
Aunt Feng's beans have also grown. She took the time to cut small branches and came back to prepare for the beans to climb, and also brought a lot of small branches for Ma Siqing.
Ma Siqing was very happy looking at the three vegetable plots and hummed songs all day long.
Tong Shiyu felt Ma Siqing's happiness and was also happy.
The cucumbers were about to grow vines, but one morning, Ma Siqing woke up and saw that the cucumbers and corns had all been pulled out and thrown on the vegetable field. She
never thought that growing vegetables would make others jealous.
She didn't occupy anyone else's land.
Tong Shiyu found that Ma Siqing hadn't come in for a long time, so he went out.
He was dumbfounded when he saw the scene on the vegetable field.
But he didn't say anything and comforted Ma Siqing first.
"Siqing, don't be sad, your health is the most important. We can grow vegetables again if we're gone, but you'll be the one who suffers if you're not healthy. Zhong Guofan will track him down, and I'll go find him now."
"In addition, there are seeds at home, I'll help you plant them again. If anyone dares to mess up this time, I'll make him pay for it!"
Tong Shiyu helped Ma Siqing back into the house and immediately went to find Zhong Guofan.
When Zhong Guofan heard that Ma Siqing's vegetable plot had been destroyed overnight, he immediately got dressed and went out.
It was morning now, and footprints should still be found.
Sure enough, several footprints of about size 36 were found in Ma Siqing's vegetable plot.
Size 36 feet are rare in Anling, so the process of elimination can roughly find the scope of suspects.
Zhong Guofan also saw that the depth of the footprints was different. The shoe print of the right foot was obviously much deeper, which means that this person used more force with the right foot, or the weight of the right half of the body is heavier.
Taking advantage of everyone's sleep to quietly destroy Ma Siqing's vegetables, the scope of suspects is even smaller.
Many people know that Hong Haitao went to make trouble in front of Commander Ma.
The reason was not hidden.
Hong Haitao is from the south, and his wife Huang Ying is also from the south. She is short and has short legs.
The truth is about to be revealed.
Tong Shiyu sat with Zhong Guofan and Chen Xiaowei, thinking about how to calm the matter down.
Ma Siqing did nothing and was gossiped by Huang Ying.
Huang Ying said that Ma Siqing's gossip caused her to lose her job in the logistics department, and then she came to retaliate against Ma Siqing.
No substantial harm was caused, but destroying the work results of others is a shameful thing in itself.
Hong Haitao is a veteran, but he is not capable, and he has only been a squad leader so far.
Mainly because of his wife.
Tong Shiyu went straight to Hong Haitao and said that the vegetables planted by his wife were destroyed. There were footprints on the edge of the vegetable field. She was wearing size 36 shoes, and the footprints on the right foot were deeper.
Hong Haitao knew who did it as soon as he heard it. If Tong Shiyu reported this to Commander Ma, his wife would probably be able to go home directly.
He said that there was no hope for him.
It really came true that if you marry a virtuous woman, you will ruin three generations.
Hong Haitao felt that he had to seriously consider his marriage with Huang Ying and give her one last chance. If she couldn't change her jealous and gossipy habits, he would divorce her and marry again.
After Tong Shiyu left, Hong Haitao went home to find Huang Ying and asked her what she did last night?
Huang Ying felt a little guilty and stuttered:
"No, I didn't do anything. It was late at night. What could I do? I just slept at home."
Hong Haitao knew as soon as he saw Huang Ying's expression and the way she spoke that it was Huang Ying who did it. She was a very petty person, held grudges, was jealous of others and was envious.
"If you don't tell the truth, and this matter is reported to Commander Ma, I will no longer be the squad leader, and I will never have the chance to be promoted. I can even no longer stay in the army and have to be demobilized and return to the local area."
"I don't have any official position in the army. If I go back, I can only go to the factory. If there is no job, I will have to go back to farming. You decide for yourself! This is my last chance for you. If it doesn't work out, you can get a divorce. You go back to your hometown and find someone else, and leave the child to me."
Huang Ying became even more angry when she heard Hong Haitao say this:
"I just pulled out a few cucumber vines. Is it necessary to escalate to the level of divorce? Did that vixen feed you sugar water?"
Hong Haitao exploded when he heard Huang Ying's words:
"I haven't said a single word to Captain Tong's wife. You have to have evidence to put the blame on me, okay?"
"Does she need to talk to you? She looks so seductive that you can't move your eyes away when you see her."
"Are you fucking reasonable? I've never seen what Captain Tong's wife looks like! She never goes out all day, and when she goes out, she wraps herself up tightly. I've never seen her before!"
"If she hadn't seduced people everywhere, how could I have lost my job? How can I support my family with just your little allowance?"
"Since you know your job is important, you should be humble. Why are you gossiping everywhere? Minister Li's wife is also a second marriage. Do second-married women not have to live in this world?"
"I..."
"What are you talking about? I'll make you a second marriage too, and see if you still want to live!"
"Do you want me to die? Then I'll go and die!"
"You made a mistake yourself and didn't reflect on it, but you're still trying to force me to do it with your life? Let's go to Commander Ma and let him judge for us. Did I say anything wrong about you?"
Hong Haitao dragged Huang Ying out of the door and went straight to Commander Ma's office.
