Although he said so, his cold tone and stern face were enough to show how angry he was about Li Chunmei's words.
Although he came back late and only heard Li Chunmei's words, he knew his wife's character and it couldn't be Li Xia's fault.
When Li Chunmei heard Gu Weicheng say this, she thought he was on her side.
He gave Li Xia a look that said "you're in trouble" and then said to Gu Weicheng with exaggerated words:
"Captain Gu, you're back, you have to take good care of your wife! Aren't you soldiers supposed to help each other? As a military dependent, I asked her to teach me how to write articles, but she was unwilling to teach me. She was afraid that I would write better articles than hers and the publishing house would not want her articles! She even asked me about my diploma. What's wrong with elementary school? Does she look down on those of us who only went to elementary school?"
Gu Weicheng frowned, and he finally understood why Li Xia looked so speechless.
It's really hard to talk to such a person.
Gu Weicheng met Li Xia's helpless eyes and gave her a calm expression: It's okay, let me take care of this matter.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to write an article?" Gu Weicheng walked up to An An and said to her, "An An, lend me your book for a while."
Then he handed the book to Li Chunmei and said, "Read this article to me first, and then tell me what it is about and what ideas it expresses."
Li Chunmei was stunned for a moment, looking at the book in front of her, her face flushed, and she opened her mouth to read, but she didn't recognize some of the words she knew: "This... this, Qiao someone, after someone, in a something..."
She said she had a primary school diploma, but in fact she only studied up to the second grade. When she was reading, it was like banging her head against a wall. Looking at these words was like reading an incomprehensible book.
Li Chunmei was tired of reading: "Captain Gu, I was telling you that your wife refused to teach me how to write articles. Why did you ask me to read this?"
Gu Weicheng ignored Li Chunmei and said to An An, "An An, read it to Dad, and then tell Dad what idea this story expresses."
An An nodded and began to read the book very smoothly. He didn't recognize a few words in the story at the beginning, but after asking his mother, he remembered them all.
After reading it, An An said, "Dad, this story tells us that pride makes people fall behind. A person should be down-to-earth and understand the principle of humility."
"An An is awesome." Gu Weicheng gave An An an approving look.
Then he said to Li Chunmei: "I think the reason why my wife is unwilling to teach you how to write articles is obvious.
You don’t know as many characters as my son, a four-year-old kid. You can’t even understand books. How are you supposed to write?
If you have talent in this area and want my wife to give you some pointers, I think my wife will be very happy. But you don't even know a few words, how do you want my wife to teach you how to write? She can only write articles, she is not a teacher in the Yuhong class, and you are not one of the children in the Yuhong class, so you can't understand the principles that even children understand, right?"
This statement is very clear. It means that Li Chunmei is not even as good as the children in the Yuhong class, and yet she has the nerve to ask Li Xia to teach her how to write articles.
Li Chunmei was stupid, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood what was going on.
It turns out that Captain Gu never stood on her side from the beginning and has always been speaking for his wife!
Li Chunmei was so angry that she wanted to say something, but when she met Gu Weicheng's cold eyes, she shrank her neck in fear.
Captain Gu looks really scary when he has a fierce look on his face!
She swallowed the curse words in her heart, turned her head and walked away.
As soon as Li Chunmei left, Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief. This troublesome person was finally gone.
"Last time I heard Sister Tao talk about this person's deeds, I didn't dare to talk to her or have any contact with her. But today she suddenly came to my house without even knocking on the door and just asked me to teach her how to write an article." Li Xia said helplessly.
"The news that your article was published by the newspaper has probably spread. Everyone knows that you received the royalties. However, there shouldn't be many people like her. If you meet her again in the future, just let them come to me and talk to me." Gu Weicheng said.
"Okay, I hope no one like this will come to me again." Li Xia said, "But I didn't expect you to have the ability to deal with these military families, and you would use An An to talk about her openly."
But looking at Li Chunmei's expression, I don't know whether she could hear it or not.
"Sometimes we have to take care of our subordinates' family affairs. Some couples will even go to their leaders for help after they have a quarrel." Gu Weicheng sighed.
He was also helpless. As a regiment commander, he sometimes had to do the work of a political commissar.
When Li Xia heard Gu Weicheng say this, a scene appeared in her mind where Gu Weicheng was surrounded by some soldiers' families, asking him to make a decision for them. She found it inexplicably funny.
Li Xia couldn't help laughing out loud. It was really difficult for him.
Even an honest judge would find it difficult to judge family affairs, let alone him.
Originally I thought that after what happened today, Li Chunmei would calm down, but after she returned home she told everyone that Mrs. Tao and Li Xia looked down on her because she couldn't give birth to a son.
"Isn't it just giving birth to a son? What's the big deal? Who can't give birth? The one in my belly is my son! They look down on me, I don't even want to deal with people like them, ugh!"
When Li Xia and Mrs. Tao heard these words, they felt like they were in big trouble.
Li Xia met Li Chunmei only twice in total. The first time she didn't say a word. The second time was when Li Chunmei came to her house and asked her to teach her how to write articles, but she refused.
She didn't know how she showed that she looked down on Li Chunmei for not being able to give birth to a son.
Mrs. Tao also felt wronged: "I dream of having a daughter. What's the point of having a son? They quarrel every day. I even told my husband, Ma, that if I have another daughter, I will never have another one. How could I look down on having a daughter? No, I have to find her to argue with her!"
When Li Xia and Mrs. Tao arrived, Li Chunmei was just telling someone about this:
"Isn't it just that she can give birth to a son? Who can't give birth to a son? And that captain Gu's wife, isn't it just that she can write a few crappy articles? What's so great about her? Pah! She even looks down on others, what a piece of shit!"
"Li Chunmei, what are you talking about? When did Xiao Li and I look down on you for having a daughter? Explain yourself to me clearly!" Mrs. Tao asked angrily.
If Li Chunmei wasn't pregnant at the moment, Mrs. Tao really wanted to stretch her muscles with her.
How shameless! He ruined her and Li Xia's reputation behind their backs!
Li Chunmei was caught speaking ill of someone and a trace of guilt flashed across her eyes, but she quickly said:
"How come you don't look down on me? I asked you to give me some wool but you refused and instead gave it to Li Xia. Isn't this looking down on me? I asked Li Xia to teach me how to write but she refused to teach me and even mocked me for not knowing as many words as her son. Isn't this looking down on me for not having a son?"
Mrs. Tao said: "Xiao Li gave money, and she often sent food to my house. I took the initiative to tell her that she didn't need to pay, but she was embarrassed to take it for free and insisted on giving me money.
Unlike you, you took my wool for free last year, saying you wanted to knit a sweater for your daughter. I felt sorry for those children, whose clothes were all patched, so I thought of giving you some wool so that you could knit a new sweater for your child to celebrate the New Year.
You are so good, you wear the sweater you knitted, and you want to get the wool from me for free this year. How can you be so shameless? "
