Zhao Mei really didn't hold back with that slap; Tajiguli's ears were ringing.
Her eyesight was still clear, but her eardrums were throbbing, and the pain intensified when she heard people talking.
She covered her face with her hands in distress, her brows furrowed.
However, she has always been strong, and this pain was not enough to make her cry. Instead, after regaining her senses, she wanted to rush towards Zhao Mei to avenge herself!
Seeing her like this, Xiahenazi quickly pulled her back forcefully. "Sweetie, let Mommy see your face first. Tell Mommy quickly, does your ear hurt? Can you hear what Mommy is saying?"
Zhao Mei's slap was quite forceful; she was genuinely afraid that Zhao Mei had damaged Tajiguli's eardrum!
Tajiguli nodded. "My ear hurt a little just now, but it's fine now."
Xiahenazi was startled when she heard this and quickly asked a military doctor living in the No. 3 courtyard to take a look.
At this time, the other adults had already separated Mancang and Youfu from the children.
When the children, including the big tree and the little tree, who had just gained their freedom, saw the adults arrive, they sat down and cried loudly, as if they had suffered a great injustice.
But clearly, it was they who first threw stones at Mancang and Youfu.
The children's cries were extremely piercing.
The security personnel also heard the commotion.
They came over immediately to find out what was going on.
They dared not easily interfere in the affairs of military families.
After learning about the situation, the security personnel quickly went to the camp and reported the matter to the leaders and political commissar.
When the leaders, political commissar, and officers like He Yanzhi returned, the compound was filled with a constant commotion and noise.
Zhao Mei insisted that Tajiguli had thrown rats into her house.
When Liu Guiying saw her push Tajiguli forward, she took the opportunity to say that Tajiguli had hit her with small stones.
Big Tree and Little Tree testified that they saw Tajiguli and her group using slingshots to shoot people, which is why they threw stones at them.
Seeing that the truth had been exposed and there was no point in continuing to deny it, Mancang and Youfu felt that as young men, they should step forward.
So they stepped forward and said that they did both things themselves and that Tajiguli and the other children had nothing to do with it.
Zhang Zhongwu stood aside and listened for less than a minute before his head started to ache terribly.
The family compound has been in turmoil lately!
He's absolutely fed up!
So he yelled at the noisy crowd, "Have you all shut up yet? Shut the hell up!"
As soon as his voice rang out, the courtyard fell silent.
All eyes turned to him.
Zhang Zhongwu took two steps forward, his tone full of anger, "What are you doing? What do you all want to do! Can't you live without causing trouble all day long?"
We sent you to accompany the soldiers so that you could take care of their lives in the rear and manage your own families well!
"Look what you've been doing these days! If you're not comfortable living here, then get out! Stop causing trouble all the time. Who has time for your petty squabbles?!"
Most of the military families lowered their heads, feeling ashamed, after being coaxed like that.
Life in the family compound has been incredibly chaotic lately!
Zhu Yongqiang, the political commissar of the division, glanced at his son and felt a surge of anger.
He walked over, raised his hand, and smacked Mancang and Youfu hard on the head. "What are you two trying to do? Trying to fly? It's one thing to play around like this, but tonight you actually used a slingshot to shoot people?! And you even let rats into your Uncle Han's house?"
Seeing that things had come to this point, Mancang and Youfu could no longer deny it.
So they directly admitted, "Yes! We did it!"
The two looked completely self-righteous!
Mancang stood tall and proud, declaring, "I used a slingshot to deal with Aunt Liu! It has nothing to do with Tajiguli!"
Youfu patted his chest and said, "It was me who put the mouse in Aunt Zhao's house! It has nothing to do with Tajiguli!"
The brothers had barely finished speaking when their group of underlings were deeply moved.
They can't let Mancang and Youfu bear the full responsibility!
So they all stepped forward.
A dozen or so children pounded their chests and shouted, "I did it! I hit Aunt Liu with my slingshot!"
"I did it!"
"Nonsense, it was clearly me who did it! I even let rats into Aunt Zhao's house!"
Seeing these kids makes me realize they all want to take responsibility.
The adults present were speechless for a moment.
As parents, they didn't know whether to be angry or relieved.
I'm so angry that these kids are so reckless and dare to resort to such tactics.
But I'm also pleased that they know how to be loyal at such a young age.
Tajiguli's ears have recovered by now.
Seeing that her companions were about to take responsibility, she narrowed her eyes and forcefully pushed Xiahenazi away.
She glared fiercely at Zhao Mei, "I did it! I threw the rat into your room, I admit it! But I don't think I did anything wrong. If you hadn't wronged Aunt Guan, Xiao Mei wouldn't have gone hungry, and Xiao Ya wouldn't have been crying for milk every day! It's all because of you! That's why the younger siblings in the yard don't have milk. You did something wrong, why don't you apologize to Aunt Guan? It's all your fault, you deserve to be beaten!"
Everyone: "!!"
Everyone was shocked by Tajiguli's fierceness and didn't know how to react.
Kuresh snapped out of his daze, his face darkening, and slapped Tajiguli across the back. "You bastard! Say another word?!"
After yelling, he even tried to hit her, but Xiahenazi quickly stopped him, saying, "Alright, we'll discipline her later!"
Zhang Zhongwu never expected that tonight's events would be related to those cow and goat milk.
