Those military wives who spread rumors in front of Li Xia were taken to the instructor's office.
Everyone has to write a self-criticism. If you don’t know how to write, just say it out loud. Anyway, you can’t just get away with it so easily.
They can't go back until their men come to pick them up.
These military wives all came from the countryside and had little education. It was not an easy task for them to write a self-criticism of several hundred words out of the blue, even if they did not write it down but just said it out loud.
Instructor Chen thought to himself that these people had hit a wall.
In fact, there are many women in the family compound, and it is common for there to be frictions and quarrels from time to time, and even fights.
Many times, men don’t care much about it. They just close the door, scold their wives, and let it go.
But Gu Weicheng is not such a person.
After the commotion during the day, the discussions in the family compound died down and no one dared to talk about it anymore.
They don’t want to be sent to the instructor to write a self-criticism!
Not only does it take me an entire afternoon to write, but I also have to involve my own man.
Two days later, on Friday, Political Commissar Shen called both Gu Weicheng and Li Xia to his office.
When the two of them arrived, they found that there was another person in the political commissar's office, who turned out to be Deputy Battalion Commander Li under Gu Weicheng.
Political Commissar Shen said, "This matter has been investigated. The person who first spread the rumor was the mother of Xiao Zhou, the person that Deputy Battalion Commander Li was about to marry."
Deputy Battalion Commander Li really wanted to find a hole to crawl into!
He had also heard the recent rumors about their leader's lover, but he could never have imagined that the person who started the rumor would be his mother-in-law!
Although Captain Gu looks cold, he is actually a very good person and takes good care of him.
But his mother-in-law actually spread gossip about Captain Gu's lover and threw dirty water on his lover!
Deputy Battalion Commander Li really felt ashamed to see Commander Gu.
Li Xia also didn't expect that the person who spread rumors behind her back was not Su Wenyan, but Aunt Tian, whom she had only met once!
Just because she refused to help prepare the banquet, Auntie Tian threw dirty water on her?
"Captain, sister-in-law, I'm sorry! It was my negligence. I didn't even know that this matter came from me... from Auntie's mouth! I will obey whatever the leader wants to punish me with!"
Deputy Battalion Commander Li was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to look Gu Weicheng and Li Xia in the eye. He bowed 90 degrees to them.
Li Xia felt that to be honest, Deputy Battalion Commander Li could not be blamed for this matter. He probably didn't even know what had happened.
But this incident did have a bad impact on her, not only on her, but also on Gu Weicheng. She would not just let it go.
She listens to her leader no matter what the punishment is.
The punishment given by Political Commissar Shen was that Deputy Battalion Commander Li write a letter of apology.
It is said to be writing a letter of self-criticism, but it is more than that.
Originally, Deputy Battalion Commander Li was on the promotion list. Gu Weicheng felt that Deputy Battalion Commander Li was a very good performer in their regiment, so he put his name up.
However, Deputy Battalion Commander Li was punished this time, and he was destined to miss the promotion.
"As for Auntie Tian, she is not a soldier in our army, so we cannot impose any substantial punishment on her. However, her behavior of making up rumors about the families of our soldiers is extremely bad, and she must make a solemn apology to Xiao Li in person. After this incident, the organization will also notify everyone that if anyone dares to make up rumors about the families of soldiers in the future, they will all be severely punished!"
Political Commissar Shen said with a serious expression.
Their soldiers shed their blood for the motherland on the front line and are willing to die to defend this land. The country must protect their families!
Aunt Tian was quickly brought over by the orderly.
On the way here, she kept asking the orderly what the leader wanted to see her about. The orderly said unhappily, "Auntie, have you forgotten what you said? You spread rumors about Captain Gu's lover, so of course the political commissar is looking for you."
Auntie Tian was a little confused. When did she spread rumors about the team leader's wife?
Did she just say something bad about the chef?
Arriving at the Political Commissar's office, Auntie Tian saw Deputy Battalion Commander Li and grabbed his sleeve as if she had found a life-saving straw:
"Zhiqiang, please help me put in a good word in front of the leader. I didn't make up any rumors about the head of the group's wife. I just said a few bad words about the chef. Who told her to be so shameless? I asked her to help prepare the banquet on your wedding day, but she refused to come. It's not like I didn't pay her!"
Li Xia was so angry that she almost laughed when she saw Aunt Tian arguing without any reason.
"Auntie, I've already told you, it's not about the money. I really had something to do that day. And, just because I refused to help with the banquet, you can make up rumors about me?"
"You even asked Deputy Battalion Commander Li to speak well of you in front of the leader. What do you want him to say? I believe in the leader's character. He will not be partial to my wife because she is the regiment commander, nor will he not help me because I am just a canteen cook."
"If you do something wrong, you have to pay for your mistakes. Auntie, do you still want to treat my lover differently based on his position?"
Aunt Tian stared blankly at Li Xia and Gu Weicheng who was standing next to her.
She was a little confused. Why did she remember that this person seemed to be Li Zhiqiang's leader?
Last time she followed Li Zhiqiang to the army, she met him and Li Zhiqiang greeted her. She also told Li Zhiqiang that he should build a good relationship with the leader, which would be beneficial to his promotion.
Li Xia is actually Gu Weicheng's lover? Why would the head of the group's wife work in the cafeteria?
Aunt Tian felt like the sky was falling. She thought Li Xia was just an ordinary person. Even if she got married, considering her age, her husband would at most be a company commander or something like that.
It turns out that she is the lover of Li Zhiqiang! She is the wife of the head of the group!
"Auntie, what else do you want me to say for you? Don't you know that you have done something wrong?" Deputy Battalion Commander Li was also very tired. Aunt Tian actually asked him to say something good about her in front of the political commissar.
What should he say? What should he say?
He no longer has the face to face his leader!
"I, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have spread rumors about the captain's wife! Leaders, please forgive me, an old woman who knows nothing!" Aunt Tian said hurriedly with a sad face.
Li Xia said: "You shouldn't make up rumors. It has nothing to do with whether I am the head of the group's wife or not. Even if I am not, it is not a reason for you to make up rumors about me."
"Yes, yes, you are right, Master Li, I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have spread rumors about you. Please forgive me!" The arrogance on Aunt Tian's face no longer appeared.
Why is she so proud? Her future son-in-law is only a deputy battalion commander, while Li Xia's lover is the regiment commander.
However, after this incident, it is hard to say whether she can still be the mother-in-law of the deputy battalion commander.
"Forgive? Auntie Tian, I can only say that I obey the decision of my leader. I will not pursue your matter any further." Li Xia said.
Not pursuing the matter does not mean forgiveness.
On Saturday, Gu Weicheng told Li Xia about the breakup between Captain Li and Xiao Zhou.
"Xiao Zhou also knew that her mother was wrong this time. After Xiao Li proposed breaking up, she cried for a while, but she didn't say anything, saving both of them some dignity."
When Li Xia heard this, she felt sorry for Xiao Zhou.
She's a good girl, but it's a pity that she has such a mother.
The banquet that was originally planned for Sunday ended up being canceled.
…
That day, Li Xia had just arrived at the cafeteria, put on her apron and prepared to go to work when Master Zhao came to her with a newspaper.
"Xiao Li, guess what I saw!" Master Zhao said with an extremely excited tone and a flushed face.
Li Xia asked curiously, "What's wrong, Master Zhao?"
"Look quickly, is that you? Xiao Li, you've made it big, you're on the newspaper!" Master Zhao's voice became louder, as if he was the one on the newspaper.
