Chapter 148: Filial Husband and Virtuous Wife
Hong Ling and the others were shocked again. "Beat the mother-in-law? Is that okay?"
"Well, mother-in-law is not my mother. She should be beaten and pinched when necessary. She is not kind anymore, so let's not be filial to her!" Wen Tang said after taking a bite of a bright red tomato.
"Then others will definitely say it."
"Reputations can be good or bad," Wen Tang didn't care at all.
Lin Yu sat at the back and said weakly, "What if a man hits you?"
"Men are naturally stronger than women, not to mention soldiers like them!"
"When we love, we are together. When we don't love, we are apart. Where is my sister-in-law?"
"Are you short of someone to sell kitchen knives?"
Lin Yu: "..."
Wen Tang added, "Besides, the quality of the soldiers is not that bad. They can't hit women, right?"
"Besides, we are reasonable. We do our job. We just don't want to be a housemaid. There's nothing wrong with that."
"But...but isn't it our duty to be filial to our mother-in-law?" Lin Yu asked weakly again.
“Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Whoever has done something bad should make up for it. Don’t carry regrets with you to the grave.” After Wen Tang finished chewing the cucumber in his hand and had his hands free, he made a heart shape to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was stunned at first, then fell into deep thought.
She was wondering if what Wen Tang said was right.
I don’t know whether Wen Tang was right or not, but the next day, her reputation as a shrew spread throughout the entire military region.
Everyone looked at Yan Li with sympathy, curiosity, and confusion, and there was no longer the envy they had before.
Gu Yanli was still the same as usual, doing what he was supposed to do. He was not angry or embarrassed. He was very calm.
The political commissar also talked to him and talked about the importance of family harmony.
Gu Yanli was very frank, "I think my family is very harmonious, with a filial husband and a virtuous wife."
political commissar"……"
"Well……"
"Did Captain Gu make a mistake?"
"That good wife smile?"
Just by listening, the political commissar couldn't tell the difference between the two "xiao", but...
"You are also wrong," the commissar said. "This is not the old society anymore. Men and women are equal, and female comrades hold up half the sky."
"So what does the political commissar want to say?" Gu Yanli asked with a mischievous smile.
He laughed so hard that the political commissar lost his temper, "Forget it, forget it, behind closed doors, it's you and your wife who are going to live together, as long as you and your wife feel that it's okay."
"It's just that the rumor is too outrageous, and I want to care about you."
"Whatever you think is good."
"Yeah, it's fine!"
"My wife treats me very well."
political commissar"……"
Later, the director of the political department held another meeting to enlighten everyone's thoughts, emphasizing the equality of men and women and not to label female comrades as those in the old society.
No one mentioned Wen Tang as a shrew anymore.
Although Wen Tang was regarded as a shrew by men, she was very popular among her family members.
Because Wen Tang also told Hong Ling, Jiang Hongli and others why he was unwilling to join the army, "I have a job in my hometown. We produce soap there, and I am responsible for external relations."
Speaking of soap, Wen Tang was embarrassed. "This is my first time here. I'm not familiar with the route and don't know what the situation is. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to take care of it on the way, so I didn't bring any."
"Next time, I will definitely bring a lot and give them to my sisters-in-law."
When Jiang Hongli and the others heard about Wen Tang and his team's soap production, they were extremely envious, "No wonder Captain Gu dotes on you."
"You are pretty and have a job, so you are no different from the girls in the city."
"That's right," everyone was envious.
Wen Tang said, "Sisters-in-law can also find a job!"
"We don't know a few words," Jiang Hongli said embarrassedly.
"There are many jobs that can be done even if you can't read. Cleaning, serving meals, and moving things are all possible."
"Besides, everyone can take literacy classes, and gradually they will recognize more words, right?"
You know what, there were some people who actually listened to it. Jiang Hongli, Hong Ling and the wife of the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion listened to it, and these three actually went to the literacy class.
As the three were busy reading and learning to read, Wen Tang suddenly had no playmates.
Having nothing to do during the day, Wen Tang told Gu Yanli, "I'm going to the city tomorrow!"
"Going to the city? Are you alone?"
"Um!"
"How about waiting for me to rest?"
"Will it take some time?"
"Um!"
"No, I'd better go alone!"
"Then you must pay attention to safety."
"Don't worry, I'm smart!"
Wen Tang went to the city alone, without anyone accompanying him.
Gu Yanli was not available, and she didn't dare look for anyone else because she had to go to the city secretly to sell the Polygonum multiflorum she had dug.
Wen Tang put the Polygonum multiflorum in his cross-body bag, wrapped it in newspaper, and went out.
When she arrived in the city, she did not wander around, but found the largest hospital and went to the inpatient department.
Wen Tang didn't dare to catch anyone and ask "Do you want Polygonum multiflorum?"
She observed the people passing by, looking for a woman who looked friendly, who did not look too sad, and who was well-dressed.
For people like this, even if their relatives live here, it is basically for them to recuperate, not for serious illnesses.
This wild Polygonum multiflorum is perfect for health care.
And there would be no chance that she would be in a bad mood and would be reported directly to the patrol battalion and arrested.
Wen Tang watched and waited, and when she was about to collapse at noon, she saw a suitable one.
A lady wearing a silk dress, with fair skin, a small bag hanging on her left arm and a thermos lunch box in her right hand.
Although the other person had a blank expression on his face, his eyes and eyebrows looked very kind.
You can tell from her clothes that she definitely comes from a good family. Not to mention that she is holding a thermos lunch box in her hand, and her hair is tied up behind her head, not a mess at all.
You can tell at first glance that he is not an ordinary person.
Wen Tang stood up immediately.
After sitting in one place for a long time, Wen Tang almost fell down when he stood up suddenly due to numbness in his legs.
The other person just walked up to her and offered her a hand.
"Are you okay?" He supported the person, his voice was caring and gentle.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, thank you, sister."
"Sister, are you here to visit the patient?" Wen Tang was very outgoing and started talking to people before he even stood still.
Feng Jiao helped the man stand up and replied with a smile, "Well, my father is not feeling well and is in the hospital. I came to bring him food."
Wen Tang pounded his legs while asking, "Is uncle okay?"
Feng Jiao shook her head. "It's nothing serious. Just some minor problems from when I was young."
Then he looked at her legs and said, "Is your leg okay?"
Wen Tang smiled foolishly and shook his head, "I've been sitting for too long, and I'm numb."
After she said this, Feng Jiao did not let go of her hand immediately, but waited silently for her to stand firm.
While supporting the person, Feng Jiao couldn't help but ask, "Are your family members also here to be hospitalized?"
Facing someone like Feng Jiao, Wen Tang had no intention of lying.
This person has a noble demeanor. Telling lies will only annoy people.
She dug the Polygonum multiflorum just to exchange it for money, there is nothing shameful about it.
So Wen Tang shook his head and told the truth, "I'm not from Haishi, I came from the countryside. I dug a piece of Polygonum multiflorum at home, so I thought of bringing it to the city to try my luck."
