"When did there become so many rude people in this compound?" Qiao Gaoyang wondered.
The compound used to be quite harmonious, and everyone interacted politely, since we were all from the same military unit. How did it become such a mess now?
"I really can't swallow this! Deng Wenfang is just too arrogant! Shouldn't we talk to her husband about this and tell him to teach his wife a lesson?"
It wasn't that I wanted to do anything, I just wanted to shut Deng Wenfang up.
This is the first time. Just coax Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an and it will pass. But once is never enough. What if the two little ones raise questions again?
“I’ll go talk to him. Deng Wenfang’s husband is called Wu Hongbo. I think he’s a deputy regimental commander. I’ll go when I get to the unit tomorrow—” Qiao Shouyan stepped forward.
He thought that although he wasn't familiar with Wu Hongbo, they were in the same unit, so communicating shouldn't be too difficult.
"Don't go, I'll go," Liu Yuying said.
Qiao Shouyan looked at his mother and nodded.
Indeed, Liu Yuying, as a teacher, was more "intimidating" to talk to Wu Hongbo. At the same time, she was also a mother, which made her even more convincing.
Unless there are special circumstances, Liu Yuying does not want to do anything in the army as a mother, as it is a place where official business is handled strictly.
But this is different.
To put it simply, this was just a quarrel between two military wives in the compound over a conflict involving their child.
But more broadly speaking, Deng Wenfang's behavior was an insult to the martyrs, their widows, and their children, which is absolutely something that can be punished in the military.
Even if it wasn't Su Yueya who was insulted today, but another military wife in the compound, Liu Yuying would still be willing to stand up for her if she found out.
So, the next day, Liu Yuying had someone call Wu Hongbo over from the military base.
"Greetings, Commander Liu!" The man saluted, looking at Liu Yuying with some confusion, and asked, "What brings you here?"
Wu Hongbo was puzzled. He was not subordinate to Liu Yuying, and in theory, there should be no contact between the two, even though Liu Yuying's rank was higher than his.
“Deputy Regiment Commander Wu, I’ve called you here today not for official business, but for personal matters,” Liu Yuying said in a very amiable manner, gesturing to the chair in front of her. “Please sit down. I just have something I want to tell you.”
Wu Hongbo became even more uneasy.
Private matters?
Commander Liu said he had private business to discuss with him.
Commander Liu dared to speak, but he dared not listen. Just as he was lost in thought, Liu Yuying, not caring about anything else, had already spoken.
"Yesterday afternoon, an unpleasant incident occurred in the family compound, which also involved your wife, Comrade Deng Wenfang, she..."
Liu Yuying calmly recounted the whole incident to Wu Hongbo.
Finally, she revealed the purpose of her meeting with Wu Hongbo.
“Xiao Wu, Lu Zhengjun is a martyr. From both a moral and legal standpoint, your wife should not have said such things. You are also a soldier, and you also have times when you go out on missions. I believe you can understand how wrong your wife’s words were, and how sad it would be for Zhengjun’s family to hear those words.”
"I chose to come to you to explain this matter, rather than reporting it directly to higher authorities, because I feel that we're all from the same compound, and some things, if they can be resolved peacefully, should be resolved peacefully as much as possible. There's no need to escalate it to higher levels..."
At this moment, Wu Hongbo was completely stunned.
He never expected it to be like this, nor did he expect his wife to say such vicious and excessive things in front of Su Yueya!
He's a soldier too!
How could Deng Wenfang, as his wife, speak to Su Yueya, who was also a military wife, in such a way?
Wu Hongbo couldn't understand it.
"Commander Liu, I'm sorry. On behalf of my wife, I apologize to you and Dr. Qiao. Thank you so much for not reporting this matter directly to your superiors, but instead choosing to communicate with me privately. Thank you so much!"
"When I get home today, I will definitely have a good talk with my wife about this matter and make sure she never does anything like this again that is wrong and damages the image of a soldier. Please rest assured. Also, please convey my apologies to Dr. Qiao. I am very sorry!"
As he spoke, Wu Hongbo bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, offering his sincerest apologies.
It's no exaggeration to say that Wu Hongbo's back was covered in cold sweat.
This moment is one of survival after a catastrophe.
He was extremely grateful to Su Yueya and Liu Yuying for not making a big deal out of it; otherwise, given what Deng Wenfang had done, his future would have been completely ruined.
"It seems you are a reasonable person. It would be best if this matter could be resolved properly," Liu Yuying said.
Her words were polite, but her eyes were anything but.
Of course, we can give opportunities.
But if Wu Hongbo fails to catch him and handle the matter properly, Liu Yuying will not show any mercy.
Because opportunities are not unlimited, if you can't seize them after being given one, then there's no need to give them another.
Otherwise, others will really think they're easy targets.
"Commander Liu, please rest assured!" Wu Hongbo saluted again, then hurriedly left Liu Yuying's office.
All day long, Wu Hongbo was distracted, thinking that he must have a good talk with Deng Wenfang that night.
This is no small matter.
Most importantly, Deng Wenfang's case is indeed untenable; her actions have been capable of killing her entire family.
Finally, it was time to get off work, and Wu Hongbo hurried home.
"Honey, you're back. Go wash your hands and let's eat," Deng Wenfang said, placing the last dish on the table.
Wu Feiyu was already seated at the dining table, ready to start eating.
"Wait a minute!" Deng Wenfang slapped Wu Feiyu away as he was about to grab some meat, scolding him, "You little glutton, your dad hasn't even sat down at the table yet, you're not allowed to touch your chopsticks!"
However, Wu Hongbo did not go to the kitchen to wash his hands. He glanced at his son first, and then spoke to Deng Wenfang with a serious expression.
"Don't rush to eat. Come into the bedroom, I have something to tell you." After saying that, Wu Hongbo went into the bedroom first.
"What is it? Can't we talk while we eat? The food is freshly made and still warm. Don't let it get cold after we finish talking..." Deng Wenfang complained as she followed her husband inside, and even glanced back at Wu Feiyu to tell him not to sneak a bite.
"So annoying!" Wu Feiyu was already hungry, staring longingly at the food in front of him, licking his lips.
If he steals a piece of meat, his mother probably won't notice, right?
He doesn't use chopsticks; he uses his hands.
Wu Feiyu had stolen a piece of meat and looked quite satisfied, but the stolen food only made him crave more. His eyes were fixed on his parents' bedroom, and he hesitated...
