Chapter 1226 It's better to offend Battalion Commander Fu than to offend his wife.
Fu Yancheng and Chu Xue set up six tables in the canteen, inviting Fu Yancheng's comrades-in-arms and their families with whom he usually got along well.
To shut up those gossipy people, Fu Yancheng casually let slip that Chu Xue was pregnant. After all, he knew the women in the family compound too well; they probably thought behind his back that his wife was lazy and always had to go to the cafeteria to entertain guests.
Even so, as Fu Yancheng led Chu Xue toward the cafeteria, he still heard discordant voices: "She's so precious, as if everyone has never been pregnant before."
Someone couldn't stand it anymore: "Commander Fu is willing to pamper his wife, why do you have to worry about this? You're clearly jealous and envious, yet you insist on saying such unpleasant things. Aren't you afraid that the woman in question will hear you and come after your husband?"
"What right do you have to tell me what to do if you're in charge of everything?"
Chu Xue lifted her foot to go over, but Fu Yancheng stopped her: "Wait here for me, I'll be right back."
The place where the two were standing was separated from the area where the others were chatting by a green belt.
Normally, it's not appropriate for a man like him to get involved in women's affairs, but she also knows that Fu Yancheng is being very cautious because of her pregnancy. Since they've already gone too far, she can't just pretend it didn't happen. She also wants to see how this man will handle it.
Fu Yancheng walked straight over and asked, "Are you ladies having a good chat?"
The woman who had previously said that the first snow was precious was startled: "Commander Fu, um, I, no, we were just saying it casually, don't take it seriously."
Actually, the girls were a little embarrassed. Regardless of what they said, it's never good to talk behind someone's back, especially since the person in question caught them red-handed.
They all stood up anxiously, but as soon as they stood up, they saw Chuxue standing on the tree-lined path behind them, which made things even more awkward.
Fu Yancheng stared at the woman who was talking about his wife and said, "Sister-in-law, is there something you're unhappy with about my wife, or something you're unhappy with about me? I've been looking forward to my wife coming to join the army, and I finally managed to persuade her. I didn't expect that she's only been here a few days and you're already trying to mess with her. I can't help but wonder what your true intentions are?"
These words were quite serious, and the woman waved her hands repeatedly in fright: "No, no, no, Battalion Commander Fu, it's all my fault for speaking out of the mouth. Please don't misunderstand, I was just saying it casually."
Fu Yancheng, however, had no intention of letting it go so easily: "Is your wife so casual? I wonder if Director Hu knows about this?"
When Fu Yancheng mentioned Director Hu, Chu Xue was wondering who it was when she saw the woman turn her face away in terror.
Upon closer inspection, she immediately recognized the person: "I was wondering who had so much free time. It turns out to be Director Hu's wife."
Chu Xue had already heard from Fu Yancheng that Director Hu had been demoted and was now just an ordinary staff member in the personnel department, and that the couple had done it on purpose.
Chu Xue finally understood. No wonder Ma Lan Hua was so determined to smear her. There was a cause and effect behind it all: "Yan Cheng, since they don't learn their lesson, we definitely don't need to show them any mercy. We absolutely cannot tolerate their deliberate wrongdoing."
Fu Yancheng looked into the distance and called out to a passing soldier: "Could you please call a few soldiers over to escort Officer Hu's wife to the Political Department?"
Ma Lanhua panicked: "Battalion Commander Fu, I'm pregnant! You can't treat me like this!"
Fu Yancheng shrugged: "My wife is pregnant too, but you didn't let her off the hook either?"
The women present were surprised that Battalion Commander Fu was so unsympathetic. After exchanging glances, they all made a decision in their hearts: they would rather offend Battalion Commander Fu than offend his wife.
