Chapter 53: Husband and wife fight
In the afternoon, all officers at the company level and above were called to the conference room for a meeting.
Captain Luo, Liu Qin's husband Luo Wu, was also criticized by name at the meeting.
The meeting lasted until half past six, and by the time they returned home, it was already seven o'clock.
Liu Qin saw that it was getting dark and her husband had not returned yet, and she became more and more anxious.
I just wondered if he was criticized by his leader because of his own problems?
If she was really criticized, then the leader would be too unreasonable. What does her spreading of rumors have to do with her man?
"Dad is back." Luo Xiaojun, who was playing in the yard, saw his father coming back and rushed to him to hug him, but was pushed away by his favorite father.
Huh?
Luo Xiaojun tilted his head in surprise and looked at his father's back.
Why didn’t dad hug me when he came back today?
Liu Qin, who was in the room, heard her son calling out, "Dad is back," and went to greet him, "Husband, you're back? I've been waiting for you to come back for dinner."
He called his daughter Hongxing and asked her to go to the kitchen and bring out the dishes that were warm in the pot.
Liu Qin also waited for Luo Wu to come back for dinner today. In the past, if Luo Wu didn't come back at dinner time, she would stay alone and would not wait for him to come back for dinner.
"Hongxing, go get the food. Dad's back. Let's have sex..."
Liu Qin's voice was interrupted by a fierce slap in the face. She was also knocked off balance and fell to the ground in a mess.
Liu Qin was so dizzy from the beating that it took a long time for her to recover. She covered her face, which was slowly returning to pain from numbness. She turned her neck stiffly and looked at her husband, whose face was ashen. "Luo Wu, you, you dare to hit me?"
After so many years of marriage, Liu Qin has always been the dominant one at home. Every time she quarrels with Luo Wu, she wins and Luo Wu ends up compromising, so Liu Qin basically has the final say at home.
This was the first time Luo Wu attacked her.
"Beating you is too light a punishment." Luo Wu suppressed his anger and growled, "Do you know how embarrassing it was for me to be criticized by the commander in front of all the company-level cadres in the army?"
"Did you eat too much one day and go and make up rumors about Gu Huai's wife and the platoon leader in the battalion?"
When Luo Hongxing saw his parents arguing, he stood at the door with his food bowl and didn't dare to go in.
Liu Qin's eyes were red. "You hit me, you actually dared to hit me..."
She didn't listen to a word Luo Wu said. All she could think about was, "I was beaten?"
"Luo Wu actually dared to hit me?"
Luo Wu: “…”
"You've completely disgraced me. You've left such a bad impression on me in front of the military leaders. If there's ever a good opportunity in the future, it will be your turn..."
"How dare you hit me? Luo Wu, you heartless bastard, I'm going to fight you..."
Liu Qin screamed, got up and rushed towards Luo Wu's face with her teeth and claws bared.
Luo Wu was caught red-handed, his hands covered in blood. A ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he swung his fist and hit Liu Qin on the back.
"Wow, mom and dad, please stop hitting me." Luo Hongxing and his younger brother Luo Xiaojun burst into tears in fear.
Not only Liu Qin's family, but many families in the family compound were fighting tonight.
So, when people heard the commotion at Liu Qin's house, no one came to persuade them.
Deputy Battalion Commander Luo and his wife Hu Jiayan heard the fighting next door and severely criticized their mother Wang Tiaohua.
Luo Changgen: "Mom, I brought you here from the countryside to enjoy life and raise the children, not to gossip and spread rumors. Rumors like that sound outrageous, and you actually believe what your neighbor says and spread them?"
Life in the staff quarters is much better than in the countryside. Although I still have to take care of the children, it is still a blessing.
"That's right," Hu Jiayan chimed in. "This matter has become such a big deal. Do you know how big the impact is? If Captain Gu finds out, not only will it offend people, but it will also affect your son's future."
Wang Tiaohua lowered her head and said nothing. She knew in her heart that she was wrong, but she felt uncomfortable being criticized by her son and daughter-in-law. It was always the mother who criticized her son and daughter-in-law, never the son and daughter-in-law who criticized their mother.
This is what they say in old operas, the upside-down jar.
No matter what kind of tank it is, you definitely cannot turn it upside down, otherwise you won’t be able to put anything in it.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Luo Changgen and Hu Jiayan knew that she was not convinced.
The couple looked at each other, and Luo Changgen said sternly, "If you do this again in the future, you can go back to the countryside. I will ask my mother-in-law to take care of the children."
After all, my mother-in-law also works in the countryside, farming and earning work points. If I ask her to take care of the children and give her a few dollars a month, she will definitely be happy.
Wang Tiaohua became anxious when she heard this and promised repeatedly, "I will never gossip or spread rumors again. I will just stay at home and take good care of Kang Kang."
She couldn't bear to give up such a good job of taking care of children in the family compound to her mother-in-law.
She stayed at home to help take care of the child and cook. In addition to the food expenses, her son and daughter-in-law each gave her another five dollars.
That's ten yuan, which is more than a hundred yuan a year. When I go home for the New Year, I can also give subsidies to my eldest and second sons' families.
"In the future, spend less time with Liu Qin next door. She is not a good person." Hu Jiayan had just finished speaking when she heard Liu Qin's screams coming from the opposite door.
Hu Jiayan also hated Liu Qin. Her job in the cafeteria was originally assigned to Liu Qin, but Liu Qin refused, so it was her turn.
She was actually quite grateful to Liu Qin and wanted to thank her.
But what Liu Qin told people was that working in the cafeteria was hot and tiring, and that she smelled of cooking fumes from head to toe, and that only country people who were not picky about anything would like it.
Later, she started working in the cafeteria. Every time she came home from get off work and met Liu Qin on the road or at the door of her house, she would cover her nose with her hands.
I just don't like the smell of cooking fumes on her.
"You should take a rest tomorrow, go to the grocery store to buy some fruits, and take your mother to apologize to Xiaoyu." Luo Changgen said to his wife.
The latter nodded and said, "I should bring something to apologize."
When Wang Tiaohua heard that she had to go to the fruit section to apologize, she felt distressed and said, "I have already apologized today."
Luo Changgen took a deep breath. "I apologized today, but I don't have to apologize tomorrow? And I ate today, but I don't have to eat tomorrow?"
“…” Wang Tiaohua choked.
"Mom," Hu Jiayan said to her mother-in-law, "You apologized to Xiaoyu in front of Commander Zhan and the others today because they asked you to. It seems a little insincere. Let's go tomorrow with some things. Only then can Xiaoyu know that we are sincere."
Luo Changgen nodded, he meant the same thing.
Wang Tiaohua curled her lips and said nothing more.
Starting from the morning of the next day, people from Yu Hui's family kept coming to apologize with gifts.
Some people came accompanied by their mother-in-law or daughter-in-law, while others came alone.
Many of them had scars on their faces, and it was obvious that they had just fought with the men in their family last night.
Everyone's attitude was very sincere, and some even cried. Seeing that they all apologized sincerely, Yu Hui accepted their apologies.
In order to avoid being hated by others, he showed weakness in front of them.
"I was told such a rumor, and Director Sun even believed it. I had no other choice but to complain to the senior leader."
"We are all women, and you should all know that rumors like this can be devastating to a woman. If I can't dispel this, I'll have to bear the stigma of being unfaithful to my husband for the rest of my life, and I'll never be able to hold my head up high..."
"Not only can I not hold my head up, my family and children can't hold their heads up either. I really am..." Yu Hui shook her head, looking like she was at her wit's end.
