Chapter 23 I didn't say to drive her away
Because Huo Chenzhou insisted on pursuing the matter to the end, the matter was handled very quickly. On the same day, Old Madam Li was publicly criticized, and her written apology was posted on the bulletin board.
Of course, she didn't write the apology letter; she had someone else write it for her. After all, she wasn't skilled enough. But that didn't matter, since everyone knew what she had done anyway.
In addition, those who were gossiping about this behind Shen Zhixia's back were also identified and given a verbal reprimand by the head of the security department. They also have to apologize to Shen Zhixia tomorrow.
Believe it or not, quite a few people are gossiping about it behind my back.
When Shen Zhixia returned, she looked calm, showing no signs of the grievances she had displayed outside. She sat on the bed, yawned, and said, "So tired."
There was a risk in what she did. If Old Mrs. Li had discovered that she had gone to the cellar beforehand, she would have been doomed. But fortunately, she succeeded.
Huo Chenzhou was heartbroken. He felt that Shen Zhixia had suffered a tremendous injustice, and that what Old Madam Li had done was inhuman.
However, after three days, Old Mrs. Li will be able to leave the family compound, and Shen Zhixia will never see her again.
Shen Zhixia curved her lips into a smile: "Am I amazing? I found the evidence right away. Even if that old lady Li wants to explain, there's nothing she can do. If she wants to do something bad, then she'll have to pay the price!"
Huo Chenzhou looked at her for a while, then let out a soft sigh of relief. He said in a deep voice, "Don't do such dangerous things again. If anything happens, tell me and I'll take care of it."
Shen Zhixia said proudly, "At the time, I only suspected it and couldn't confirm whether it was Grandma Li who did it. But when I found the brown sugar and newspaper in the cellar, I knew it was definitely her! And it wasn't actually dangerous. I talked to Sister Zhang and asked her to stand guard outside and tell me immediately if there was any trouble. I'm so resourceful, don't you praise me?"
Huo Chenzhou held her hand, the worry in his eyes gradually fading. He said in a low, hoarse voice, "I know you are a smart person who can protect yourself. Even when faced with rumors, you can handle them calmly and find evidence. But I also hope that if you encounter this situation again, you can tell me immediately so I can help you share the burden."
Shen Zhixia raised the corners of her lips: "I need to rest for a while, so please don't make a sound later."
She's not lazy, but after getting pregnant, she just wanted to sleep every day and could sleep for more than ten hours. But this child is an angel baby, always well-behaved and never bothered her. She really is an angel baby.
After saying that, she closed her eyes and fell asleep instantly.
Huo Chenzhou walked over quietly and kissed her on the forehead.
He went outside to prepare soup so that Shen Zhixia could have a hot meal when she woke up. He had been cooking since he was a child and was very good at it. Before Shen Zhixia came, he always ate in the cafeteria, but now he really enjoyed the process of cooking.
On the other side.
Since returning, Chen Guilan has been in a bad mood. After hearing the rumors, she believed them and discussed them with many people. After the truth came out, someone reported her, and now she has to apologize.
She said unhappily, "With so many people involved, why is only I being held responsible? It's really strange. The newspaper article made it sound so real, so of course I believed it. Now I have to go and apologize in person. I don't want to go."
Lin Xiaowei glanced at her and said coldly, "I warned you long ago that what's in the newspapers isn't necessarily true, and I told you not to spread nonsense everywhere, but you insisted on spreading it around."
Chen Guilan squinted at her and suddenly said, "Xiaowei, are you blaming me? Are you accusing me of doing something wrong?" She said with dissatisfaction, "I've been living here all this time. You must be disgusted with me and want me to leave a long time ago."
"Sister-in-law, I didn't."
"No, your tone just now showed your dissatisfaction with me. Did I take the rumors in the newspaper seriously and damage your reputation?"
Lin Xiaowei paused for a moment, then finally said, "Sister-in-law, you made a mistake this time, so of course you should apologize. This is something you should have done. Spreading rumors is a very serious matter, especially since Xiao Shen is pregnant. Every rumor you spread will hurt her. In addition, what you did will affect my and Zhou Cheng's work. I hope you can be more careful with your words in the future."
Chen Guilan looked at her expressionlessly: "In the end, you just want to teach me a lesson today. It seems you've been dissatisfied with me for a long time."
"Lin Xiaowei, you've always wanted to get rid of me, haven't you?" Her voice was sarcastic.
Lin Xiaowei found her inexplicable. She was just talking about what happened today, but Chen Guilan insisted on making a big deal out of it.
She once wanted to get along well with Chen Guilan, but later she realized that she could never get along peacefully with Chen Guilan.
Does she want to drive Chen Guilan away?
Actually, no.
But she did consider having Chen Guilan leave the army.
Conditions in the military camp were actually not good. She had a house in the city and had suggested that Chen Guilan move there. She could also help Chen Guilan hire a caregiver to take care of her until she gave birth, and she would pay for all the expenses. She thought this was a good decision and Chen Guilan would not refuse.
In reality, Chen Guilan reacted very strongly. She cried and made a scene, insisting that Lin Xiaowei couldn't tolerate her and had to drive her away. After Zhou Cheng found out about this, he gave her the cold shoulder for a long time.
From then on, Lin Xiaowei never mentioned asking her to leave again.
If Chen Guilan wants to live in the military dependents' home, then let her stay there.
Lin Xiaowei closed her eyes, feeling a little tired, and didn't want to say anything more to Chen Guilan. She went inside to cook, as Chen Guilan had been cooking most of the time since she became pregnant.
But at that moment, Chen Guilan suddenly burst into tears. With tears in her eyes, she said to Lin Xiaowei, "Xiaowei, I know you don't like me. I'll just leave. It's really not good for an outsider like me to keep bothering you here."
Just as Lin Xiaowei was about to say something, she heard Zhou Cheng roar: "Lin Xiaowei, what are you doing again? You clearly promised me before that you would let your sister-in-law live here, but you're trying to kick her out behind my back?"
His face was full of anger: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant. If you let her leave alone now, how will she survive? Apologize to her right now."
Lin Xiaowei looked exhausted. She used to have a good relationship with Zhou Cheng, but ever since her sister-in-law moved in with them, they have been arguing over trivial matters.
She just felt mentally exhausted.
Lin Xiaowei lowered her head, feeling bored: "I didn't say I wanted to kick her out."
