Chapter 10: There are even more nasty things to say
: "Sister Shengmei, I'll wash your headscarf before returning it to you. I've got a lot of mud on it."
Xia Mi took off her headscarf and found a lot of mud spots on it from cracking oysters.
"No, I just have to wash it this afternoon, so I'll just rub it together. Give it to me." Jiang Shengmei took the headscarf and said, then looked at the two stiff people behind her.
The tall man always felt that Xia Mi was deliberately eavesdropping outside the door. Just as he was about to attack, someone got there first.
"Comrades, I have never met you. You are constantly gossiping about me behind my back based on hearsay. Aren't you afraid of getting your mouths scalped?"
Xia Mi didn't want to explain this, but the two men had no intention of letting her go.
She has a good temper and is not a dead person. It is natural for her to be angry when being belittled like this.
“I am a capitalist lady, but my adoptive mother’s family is national capital and has never done anything to exploit people.
I have made a lot of contributions to New China in terms of both human and financial resources. Now, because of your ignorance, you spread rumors that I am the daughter of an exploiter of capitalists, causing me to suffer a lot of trouble and contempt. "
"As for my background, it was an oversight by my elders. I am the only one who has to bear the consequences. Considering that they raised me for 19 years, I cannot say anything. But you are not qualified to judge me."
"As for Huo Jingchen..."
"As for me, why don't you sisters-in-law guess that it's me who is shamelessly trying to marry her?" A familiar and domineering male voice sounded.
Huo Jingchen appeared at the door, and his light words brought a terrifying sense of oppression that made people dare not look directly at him.
Xia Mi frowned, disgusted that Huo Jingchen had disrupted her thoughts.
She deliberately said to the other two, "Huo Jingchen, the people in your army don't welcome me, so let's cancel our engagement."
Huo Jingchen raised his eyes and twitched his lips sarcastically, "They didn't marry you, so why do you care what they do? Do they make money for you to spend, or do they feed you?"
In short, I didn't spend your money, I didn't eat your food, it's none of your business! "I feel relieved when you say that. I thought the bad custom of Zhuifeng Island was that whoever married a wife, all the people of the island would come to watch the trial and make a careful assessment."
Xia Mi's voice was cold and not loud, but every word she said felt like a thousand pounds hitting people, making them feel extremely guilty.
The couple teamed up to act weirdly, making the two people standing beside them so angry that they dared not say a word.
"Captain Huo, your words are a bit harsh. The sisters-in-law are also concerned about you. This is a major event in your life. We are experienced people and are kind enough to help you."
Cracks appeared on the tall man's face, and he started to act like an old man with a frown on his face.
"Is that unpleasant to hear? My sister-in-law is living too well. I've never heard anything more unpleasant."
Huo Jingchen was not tolerant either. He spoke very directly, without any regard for the other person's feelings.
"I have been on the Wind Chasing Island for six years and have been injured countless times. When I was lying on the hospital bed with my life hanging in the balance, I didn't even see you. Now that I'm getting married, you guys are thinking of being my elders?"
The tall and short men had gloomy faces and were so ashamed that they wished they could dig a hole and crawl into it.
Jiang Shengmei lowered her head and laughed. It seemed that she was worrying too much. Finally, someone could subdue Huo Jingchen.
Xia Mi tugged at Huo Jingchen's sleeve, "Huo Jingchen, I'm hungry, let's go eat."
Huo Jingchen finally gave up, said hello to Jiang Shengmei and took everyone to eat.
Even after walking away, you could still hear the cursing coming from Jiang Shengmei's yard.
It was already half past twelve and the food in the cafeteria was almost gone. Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen went there just in time to catch the last bit.
The cafeteria was about 20 square meters in size, not very big. Everyone had finished their meal and had gone back to the dormitory to rest. Only she and Huo Jingchen were sitting at the table to eat.
Huo Jingchen ate very quickly and finished his meal while the person opposite him had only finished half of his meal.
Huo Jingchen lowered his eyes and wanted to wait until she finished eating before asking, but the person opposite him ate slowly, which gradually exhausted his patience.
"Angry?"
Xia Mi shook her head, "No."
"Then why are you not talking? If not angry, what is that?"
"Does not talking to you mean I'm angry? Isn't there a rule in the army that you can't talk while eating or sleeping?"
Huo Jingchen looked a little stunned, then said, "Yes, but I have passed the stage of being a soldier and regained my freedom of speech."
Xia Mi chuckled, her brows relaxed and her smile was as beautiful as a flower.
Seeing her smile, Huo Jingchen's lips also curled up.
"If you're bored this afternoon, go talk to Sister Jiang. I have some things to deal with in the army this afternoon. I'll send the meal to the guesthouse in the evening."
Xia Mi nodded obediently. She lowered her eyelashes and looked at the fried cabbage residue in the bowl. Suddenly, she wanted to ask him why he wanted to marry her.
“Huo…”
"Captain Huo finally found you. The Political Commissar wanted to see you about something urgent and asked you to go to his office as soon as possible."
An urgent voice sounded, and Huo Jingchen reacted quickly, standing up and giving instructions.
"I'll go over first. Your hand is injured. Put the bowl down after you finish eating. I'll come back and wash it when I'm done."
When the guard heard that his sister-in-law was injured, he looked over worriedly and almost popped his eyes out.
What kind of injury is this? Can a little scratch on the skin be called an injury?
Recalling that Captain Huo had broken his arm, he still followed them to patrol the 20 kilometers around the island.
Captain Huo's words still echo in my ears, "As long as I can climb, I will climb the entire 20 kilometers."
The guard strained to see the wound on his sister-in-law's hand, fearing that he would lose sight of it in the blink of an eye.
I lament that the greatest magic in the world is love.
After dinner, Xia Mi washed the dishes and put them back in Huo Jingchen's cabinet. Then she slowly walked out of the army and returned to the guesthouse as if taking a stroll.
From a distance, Xia Mi saw Yan Yiming waiting at the door of the guesthouse with a cane. It seemed that he had been there for a while.
Xia Mi stopped and thought for a moment. She couldn't lie down right after eating, so she decided to take a walk.
She walked around again and came back. Yan Yiming was still standing at the door. It seemed that he would not stop until he got to her.
When Xia Mi was hesitating whether to walk around again, Yan Yiming noticed her.
"Xia Mi."
Xia Mi walked over reluctantly, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"I heard that you and Captain Huo are going to get married. He even submitted the marriage application."
"This has nothing to do with you. If you came here to ask this, you can go back."
Xia Mi was really annoyed. It was Huo Jingchen who proposed the marriage, but the tones of these people made it seem like she was trying to climb a high branch.
"Xia Mi, I know you hate me, but I really do this for your own good. Captain Huo is not someone you can marry. You are not of the same class."
Yan Yiming seemed to be speaking earnestly, lowering his posture and speaking in a sincere tone.
"Captain Huo's father holds a high position, but I cannot reveal what position he holds.
But if he knew that Captain Huo married you, and that you had a shady background and his family couldn't tolerate you, you might be abandoned on Zhuifeng Island when he returned."
Xia Mi finally had a preliminary understanding of Huo Jingchen's family.
No wonder the instructor and Captain Jiang did not agree at first, and even alarmed the instructor to come and talk to her alone.
Huo Jingchen must have put in a lot of effort to get them to agree to the approval so quickly.
Seeing Xia Mi stunned and silent, Yan Yiming thought she had taken his words to heart.
"Our two families are friends. I don't want to see you go that far. It's not too late for you to turn back now."
Xia Mi lowered her head and laughed, her eyes full of sarcasm, "Friendship? That's between your Yan family and the Xia family. I've been abandoned by the Xia family. It's useless for you to use friendship to coerce me."
Xia Mi's smile became more sarcastic.
"You were the one who exposed my identity in public, you were the first one to humiliate me, and you were the one who gave your partner the confidence to slander and spread rumors. In the end, you said you were doing this for my own good?"
