Chapter 10 Jiang Wu: Have you forgotten about your husband stealing the raincoat?
"I think you guys are just bored and have nothing better to do!"
It's Aunt Zhang.
She came in carrying a large basin of clothes, and her face looked very unpleasant.
Ever since she was scolded by Jiang Wu last time and witnessed Qin Lie's "special treatment" of Jiang Wu, she has felt suffocated.
Now, hearing these women describe Jiang Wu as if she were a celestial being descended to earth, she could no longer suppress the rage within her.
"What's there to discuss about a fickle, promiscuous woman!"
Aunt Zhang slammed the basin down on the ground, splashing water everywhere.
"Don't be fooled by her face! She even wrote up her divorce papers so she could elope with another man. Have you forgotten that?"
"It's only because Commander Qin is kind-hearted that he didn't hold it against her. If it were anyone else, they would have kicked her out long ago!"
Aunt Zhang's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads.
yes.
How could they forget that Jiang Wu was threatening to elope with someone just a few days ago? And now she's already inseparable from Commander Qin?
This woman's heart changes too quickly!
“Sister Zhang, you can’t say that. Maybe… she’s genuinely repenting now?” A young military wife whispered in defense of Jiang Wu.
"Truly repentant?" Aunt Zhang sneered, raising her voice, "A leopard can't change its spots! Let me tell you, she only came back to cling to our Commander Qin because she knew that wild man was unreliable!"
"This kind of woman is evil to the core! Just you wait and see, she'll cause trouble sooner or later!"
Aunt Zhang spoke with absolute certainty, spitting as she spoke, as if she had personally witnessed Jiang Wu's "unbearable" behavior.
Her words also swayed the other military wives around her.
Yes, it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.
Jiang Wu used to be so "dramatic," how could she suddenly become better?
Maybe it's true, as Aunt Zhang said, that it was all a show she put on!
The way everyone looked at Jiang Wu changed from envy and jealousy back to disdain and contempt.
Just then, a figure appeared at the door of the water room.
It's Jiang Wu.
She was carrying a small basin containing two pieces of clothing that she and Qin Lie had changed out of.
She had just reached the door when she heard Aunt Zhang's sharp and sarcastic words.
The washroom fell silent instantly.
All eyes turned to Jiang Wu. Some were watching the spectacle, some were gloating, and some even felt a pang of sympathy.
Aunt Zhang never expected that she would be caught red-handed for speaking ill of someone.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across her face, but it was quickly replaced by a defiant look.
She glared at Jiang Wu with her neck stiff, looking like a rogue saying, "I told you, what can you do about it?"
"Oh, speak of the devil, and he appears!" she said sarcastically, breaking the silence.
"What's wrong, Jiang, beautiful lady? Are you here to do laundry? Why didn't you ask your Commander Qin to do it for you? Doesn't he dote on you to the bone?"
The sarcasm in those words was obvious to everyone.
If it were the original owner of this body, she would have been furious and started arguing back at her by now.
But Jiang Wu just looked at her quietly, without a single extra expression on her face.
Her gaze was calm, even somewhat cold.
Seeing this made Aunt Zhang feel inexplicably uneasy.
"Aunt Zhang".
Jiang Wu finally spoke.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was very clear.
"I heard that your husband, Lao Wang, is a team leader in the logistics department?"
Aunt Zhang was taken aback, wondering why she suddenly brought this up.
"So what if it is?"
"I heard that a batch of new military raincoats went missing from the army a while ago, and they haven't been found yet," Jiang Wu continued speaking slowly, her eyes fixed on Zhang Sao's face.
Aunt Zhang's expression visibly changed.
"You...you're talking nonsense! What raincoat? I don't know anything about it!" Her voice was clearly weak.
"Oh? You didn't know?" Jiang Wu's lips curled into a meaningful smile. "But I heard that someone saw you send a big package to your parents' home in the countryside a few days ago?"
"That package is bulging and looks quite heavy."
"What do you think is inside?"
Jiang Wu's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the small water room.
All eyes immediately turned to Aunt Zhang.
Although military wives are gossipy and love to spread rumors, they are the most simple and honest military dependents at heart.
Stealing military supplies is a huge crime! If caught, not only will you be punished, but the future of the men in your family will also be ruined!
Aunt Zhang's face turned pale instantly.
She pointed at Jiang Wu, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
"You...you're spouting nonsense! This is slander!"
"Whether I'm slandering you or not, you know in your heart."
Jiang Wu stepped forward and approached her.
“I don’t hold it against you because you like to gossip behind people’s backs, but that’s only because we’re neighbors.”
“But if you think I’m easy to bully, and you dare to throw all sorts of dirty water at me,” Jiang Wu’s voice suddenly turned cold. “Then let’s go to the military security department and have a good talk with them.”
"Let's see if my crime of 'being promiscuous' is more serious, or your husband's crime of 'embezzlement' is more serious!"
"You!" Aunt Zhang's face turned red and white as she was silenced by her words.
She just couldn't understand how Jiang Wu, that good-for-nothing beauty, knew so much about her family! And so much about it!
Looking at the suspicious and disdainful gazes of the other military wives around her, Zhang Sao felt her face burning as if she had been slapped hard several times.
She knew that if this matter wasn't handled properly today, she would never be able to hold her head high in the family compound again!
What she feared even more was that Jiang Wu would actually report this to the security department! Then she and her husband, Lao Wang, would be completely finished!
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhang's legs began to go weak.
Looking at Jiang Wu, who seemed to have been reborn, becoming eloquent and powerful, she felt a sense of fear for the first time.
Just who is this woman?
What else does she know?
Aunt Zhang dared not think any further. Looking into Jiang Wu's eyes, which seemed to see through everything, she suddenly knelt down with a thud.
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law of the Qin family! I was wrong!"
P.S.: I went to buy lottery tickets today but didn't win, so I'm a little unhappy.
