Chapter 296: Bullying people and still doing tricks?
People cannot control other people's faces and mouths.
Zhu Yunying had no intention of pursuing anyone who gossiped behind her back, but she was just secretly being more cautious.
In the following month, the temperature dropped rapidly and there were several heavy snowfalls.
Everyone in the compound was wrapped in thick coats.
Zou Mei remained unmoved and came to accompany Zhu Yunying every day.
Walking all the way from the tube building to the courtyard, you can meet many people on the way.
The thick coat that was bulging out of her body aroused everyone's curiosity.
Because some aunts were kind-hearted and saw that it was too hard for her to take care of Lin Sheng alone, they always helped to lead him for a while.
Especially the sister-in-law of the third commander, she likes Xiao Linsheng very much, and sometimes she even blocks her on the road.
That day, she was shocked when she touched the sleeve of Zou Mei's clothes.
The bulging sleeves suddenly deflated.
"Little Zou Mei! What are you wearing? Captain Yang won't even make you a decent cotton-padded jacket? Auntie will take care of it for you. Go! Go find Captain Feng and Political Commissar Zhang and have a good talk. No one should bully their daughter-in-law like this!"
The third captain and his family all had short tempers and acted without hesitation, not giving Zou Mei any chance to explain herself.
She kept yelling all the way, and when they arrived at the small courtyard, Zou Mei was so anxious that she couldn't speak and was about to cry.
"Captain Feng, look at the soldiers you lead! Although I'm not a big shot and shouldn't be in the lead, I just can't stand you men bullying others! We, the wives of soldiers, have come all the way to join the army and we don't deserve this treatment."
The third commander's wife put her hands on her hips and started scolding.
"What's going on?"
Feng Shuo noticed that it was Zou Mei and couldn't help but hold his forehead. It seemed that Yang He was itching to write a self-criticism again!
"What's wrong? Yang He is a company commander after all, but he can't even bear to make a cotton-padded jacket for his wife. What is this light and fluttering thing? Reed catkins? You are reminiscing about the good old days, right? Was it easy for little Zou Mei to give birth to a son for him? It was a life-or-death struggle... Why are we women so miserable?"
He started howling.
Feng Shuo is good at leading troops to fight, using real guns and swords, and fighting to the death.
But when faced with women, especially military dependents, he was completely helpless and could only dejectedly seek help from his wife.
Zhu Yunyao is already in the late stage of pregnancy, and the weather is getting colder, making her less and less willing to get up.
Feng Shuo supported her to the courtyard. Seeing this, she stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go inside and talk. I'll make you some tea."
Hot tea was placed on the table.
Little Zou Mei looked like she had made a mistake, she was pinching her fingers, with her brows brows and eyes drooping in shame.
"Comrade Xiao Zhu, this matter really needs Captain Feng to step in! Otherwise, if word gets out, it will really chill the hearts of the military families in the compound."
The wife of the Third Regiment Commander was very disappointed with her. She held Little Zou Mei's arm again and felt that the jacket was too thin. She was so angry that her eyes turned red.
"Look, look, it's just a thin layer of snow... It makes me so sad! I just can't stand seeing women being bullied!"
As she spoke, she actually wiped away her tears.
Zhu Yunying quickly took out a handkerchief to comfort her, patted her back, and said calmly, "Sister-in-law, this matter is not the fault of Captain Yang, it's all my fault."
"Blame...blame you?"
There were tears in the corners of the Third Captain's wife's eyes. She blinked, a little confused.
"When I was away from the compound, it was Zou Mei who helped take care of the courtyard. After I came back, I wanted to thank her, so I made two thick coats. One is made of cotton, and the other is made with a traditional recipe from my hometown, with duck down inside..."
Zhu Yunying was explaining when she was interrupted by the wife of the third commander.
"What the hell is this duck?"
Zhu Yunying smiled and said, "Duck down is the tiny hairs on the duck's belly. Once processed and sewn into clothes, it's quite warm."
"The tiny hairs on a duck's belly? How many ducks would that take?"
The Third Regiment Commander's wife had never heard that duck feathers could keep warm. For a moment, she didn't know what expression to make, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Is this true?"
"Touch little Zou Mei's hand and see if it's warm."
Zhu Yunying raised her chin and gestured to the Third Regiment Commander's wife to touch little Zou Mei's hand.
The wife of the third commander was skeptical. She touched it, raised her eyebrows, became alert, blinked her eyes, looked at her hand, and then looked at the water cup on the table!
He immediately changed his hand and touched it again.
Little Zoumei's palms were warm, but when they touched her cold hands, she couldn't help but shrink and hissed.
"Why is it so warm? Is duck down better than cotton?"
She felt it was strange, a smile appeared on her face, and she laughed out loud.
"They're both the same. Duck down keeps you warm, and cotton keeps you warm too. It's just that duck down is a bit lighter. Zou Mei is going to take care of Xiao Linsheng, and he'll be active a lot every day, so duck down is more convenient for her."
"Hey! You know what, this is really interesting! I've never seen it before!"
The Third Regiment Commander's wife was a straightforward person. She immediately patted the back of Little Zou Mei's hand and soothed her, "I was just worrying about nothing. Oh! Look at my mouth, I really deserve a beating! Little Zou Mei, don't take it to heart. Next time, I'll make you some pork belly!"
"Sister-in-law, I didn't take it to heart. It's just...it's just that you spoke too fast and I couldn't interrupt."
Little Zou Mei smiled awkwardly.
"Hahahahaha! That's how I took my man down. I made sure he couldn't fight back."
Little Zou Mei breathed a sigh of relief and secretly gave Zhu Yunying a look.
Zhu Yunying suggested: "Sister-in-law, do you want to see some duck down? It was sent by a relative from my hometown."
"Great, this really broadens my horizons. Duck feathers can actually help people survive the winter!"
The third commander's wife followed Zhu Yunying into the room. Feng Shuo held his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
But he suddenly remembered and when he turned around to chase after him, it was too late.
Xiao Zhang has never acted so quickly before. He has already informed Xiao Jia.
At this moment, Xiao Jia led the third captain, and Xiao Zhang accompanied Yang He, and they were rushing to the courtyard in a mighty manner!
"young married woman--"
"Zou Mei'er——"
As soon as the two entered the yard, they started shouting.
Seeing Feng Shuo, the third commander was furious: "What's going on? I heard that your company commander beat his wife?"
"Who beat his wife? Who spread the rumor?"
Yang He looked around, at Xiao Zhang and then at Xiao Jia.
The two young orderlies waved their hands repeatedly.
"Oh! You're quite a daredevil! Bullying your wife, and even playing tricks on her?" The Third Regiment Leader tutted, glaring at Feng Shuo, and raised his chin towards him, "Shouldn't you take care of this?"
"I won't say anything, just watch for yourselves!"
Feng Shuo's dream of taking a nap with his wife early in the morning was shattered, and he was very angry.
The yard fell into silence.
Just then, a burst of laughter came from the room.
The Third Regiment Commander's wife took Zhu Yunying's arm and said warmly, "I'm going to make braised pork tonight. You all should come to our house for dinner! I have some freshly ground rice noodles, which is perfect for Xiao Linsheng to try."
Little Zou Mei nodded happily.
As soon as I went out, I saw several people standing there like dumbfounded chickens.
The Third Regiment Commander's wife spread her hands and said, "Quick! Don't you have any cloth coupons with you? I asked Sister Yun Yao to make a fashionable outfit for you! It's special and special."
"oh!"
The third commander searched his pockets and took out a purse, which contained only food coupons but no money.
The money is all in the wife's hands, and these food coupons are for the man to show off outside.
The Third Regiment Commander's wife happily struck a deal with Zhu Yunying, but before she knew it, she let slip: "That bitch Zheng Hongmei's mouth is quicker than her legs. She really shouldn't be dancing, she should be telling stories. She's just confusing right and wrong!"
