It was only at this time that Bai Ying realized that Mrs. He had seen her a long time ago!
Mrs. He worked in the Revolutionary Committee of the commune as the director of women's affairs. She had been to the Liushu Brigade when it ran a salt field. It was at that time that she met Bai Ying.
However, Bai Ying had a slight face blindness and was not very good at remembering people's appearances, so she did not notice Mrs. He in the crowd.
On the contrary, Mrs. He was deeply impressed by Bai Ying's eloquent speech when planning the salt factory.
After Bai Ying knew about this, she never brought up the topic again.
Originally, she had made this trip because she wanted to ask Mrs. He what the competition for the military wives selection activity was about, but now it seems that there is no need for that.
Mrs. He is a friend far more precious than an electric fan.
He Shiwen, who was sitting next to her, looked at Bai Ying and then at her own mother.
Why do I feel more and more like my biological mother, like Bai Ying’s biological mother?
He Shiwen picked up the rice bowl and shoveled the rice into her mouth angrily. Even the sweet and sour pork ribs that she always loved didn't taste as good as before.
"Oh, right," Mrs. He frowned as if she remembered something and said, "You don't have to call me Mrs. He. I have my own name. My name is Yuan Xuemei."
Bai Ying decisively changed her tone, "Then I'll call you Director Yuan from now on!"
"Um."
The two smiled at each other.
Ignoring He Shiwen who was feeling humiliated on the side, the atmosphere between the three of them was still very good.
Until a sudden and urgent knock on the door broke the harmonious atmosphere.
A man's anxious voice rang out from outside the door, "Mrs. He, something bad has happened!"
The three of them looked at each other and saw the dissatisfaction of being disturbed in each other's eyes.
He Shiwen listened to the voice outside the door and recognized the other party's identity. "It's my father's guard, Uncle Zhang."
Knowing that the other party couldn't have come here for no reason, the three of them walked to the door.
Yuan Xuemei opened the door.
Uncle Zhang, standing outside, wiped the sweat from his face. He looked like he had just run all the way from the army. "Madam, there's been an incident at the military family compound! They say Captain Yang's pregnant wife was beaten by Shiwen, and the baby in her belly is probably gone!"
"What?!"
He Shiwen was so shocked that the bowl in her hand dropped to the ground. She said in disbelief, "Impossible! I didn't use much force at the time, and she didn't react at all. How come after I went back..."
Upon hearing this bad news, He Shiwen couldn't help but hit her head, thinking to herself that she was so stupid.
Knowing that Qiao Xiaoling was pregnant, how could he kick her in the stomach?
Kicking her head is better than kicking her in the stomach!
No, no, no, she shouldn't have hit anyone at all. Qiao Xiaoling's movements were so slow anyway. If she wanted to hide on purpose, Qiao Xiaoling would never be able to catch up with her.
He Shiwen was so shocked by the sudden news that she was at a loss and paced around the house anxiously.
Yuan Xuemei frowned and remained silent for a while.
Bai Ying also fell into thought.
What He Shiwen said made sense. Qiao Xiaoling did not immediately say that she had a miscarriage after being kicked. Instead, she brought up the matter after returning to the army.
It seems a little weird no matter how you look at it.
Plus, her previous guess...
A bold idea came into Bai Ying's mind: Could it be that Qiao Xiaoling was not pregnant at all!
Worried that the truth will be revealed later, why not just frame He Shiwen now?
Just as Bai Ying was pondering, Yuan Xuemei's voice, after careful consideration, rang out in her ears, "Shiwen, I'll go with you. When the time comes, you can apologize to them and admit your mistakes. No matter what compensation they ask for, our family will pay it."
"Mom...I'm too ignorant. I'm so old and still make you and Dad worry about me."
He Shiwen's voice choked up. She didn't expect that her mother, who had always been strict with her, not only did not blame her, but was helping her solve the problem.
How could she doubt that her mother didn't love her?
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Yuan Xuemei ruthlessly interrupted He Shiwen's self-consolation strategy, "As for you? When we get back, I'll deal with you with your dad!"
He Shiwen: “…”
She was overthinking it.
Her mother, who is like a tigress, has not changed.
Yuan Xuemei looked at Bai Ying apologetically, "Comrade Bai Ying, I can't keep you as a guest after what happened. We have to go to the army now."
"That's for sure," Bai Ying thought for a moment, "I'll go too. I can also testify that it was Qiao Xiaoling who attacked He Shiwen first, and that He Shiwen kicked Qiao Xiaoling in self-defense."
"Thank you."
As they were about to leave, Bai Ying said, "I won't go with you. I have something else to get, so I'll be there soon."
"good."
Yuan Xuemei didn't intend to force Bai Ying to join them.
She also knew that Bai Ying and Qiao Xiaoling were relatives. Even if Bai Ying chose not to help them, she would not blame Bai Ying. After all, this was all her daughter's doing.
Bai Ying turned and left.
A group of people walked west, and one person walked east.
The two sides are going in opposite directions.
——
at the same time.
Troops, family compound.
“Ouch! That hurts! Ouch…”
The woman's screams continued to come from the closed door of the house.
Outside, Yang Mingwu frowned and paced back and forth in the yard.
"Don't worry, Captain Yang, everything will be fine." Wen Shuyu comforted him.
Yang Mingwu didn't appreciate this at all and immediately retorted: "It's not your wife who had a miscarriage, of course you don't have to worry!"
Hua Jianhua said angrily: "What are you talking about! I am younger than you and in better health than you. I won't have a miscarriage even if you do!"
