Chapter 301 You're Feeling Guilty
“Who told you that we let my sister-in-law operate the sewing machine?!”
Wen Wen's eyes reddened as she defended herself, "My sister-in-law designed the clothes and taught Sister Zou how to make them! We wouldn't come to her house and ask a pregnant woman to do manual labor. Sister Zou just gave birth not long ago, so if other people come to visit us, they can help out a little bit, just a little bit!"
"Stop the nice talk! Is Zhu Yunying that capable? Can she teach anyone or two to become great tailors?"
Zheng Hongmei wasn't ready to let up, and continued to curse, "You're right! Zhu Yunying's family is a wealthy capitalist who owns a fabric factory. They tricked people into working for free, and they're still in control! Honestly, you guys are so easy to fool. She made the money from making clothes, and she got the reputation too! What did you get?"
"...Teacher Zheng, we don't expect to take anything! We all live in the same compound together, it's fate! It's all about mutual support and unity among comrades."
Wen Wen took a deep breath, raised her chin, and said indignantly: "People should treat each other with empathy! If you think there is something wrong with me, go report me to Captain Zhao! If not, then keep your mouth shut!"
After saying that, she turned and ran!
Zheng Hongmei was already very embarrassed after being kicked out by Zhu Yunying.
He was also scolded by a girl from the art troupe, which made him even more angry and embarrassed, and he immediately chased after her.
Leaving Xiao Zhang where he was, facing the messy snowflakes.
He didn't delay long.
After returning to the courtyard, I planned to lock the door to prevent any uninvited guests from visiting.
"No need to close the door. Your leader will be back tomorrow, and I'll stay at the guesthouse in town tonight." Zhu Yunying looked at Xiao Zhang's puzzled expression and explained, "Instead of staying home and worrying about her causing trouble again, it's better to stay away from her."
Zhu Yunyao was not like this before!
When has she ever backed down?
But now, her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the twins are prone to premature birth, so she has to be cautious.
If it weren't in this era, she would have gone to the hospital to maintain her pregnancy.
But there are currently no such conditions in the military compound, so you can’t just live there if you want to!
The easiest solution she could think of was to go to town and have a quiet night.
Wait for Feng Shuo to come back and let him handle it.
Fortunately, he made many contributions during his time in Beijing.
Not only did he capture the enemy spy who was in danger in Deputy Regiment Min, he also caught the criminal who kidnapped a woman in Jing City, and he even helped put out the fire when the garment factory was on fire...
This was enough to make the division commander and Political Commissar Zhang agree that he could stay with her during the birthing ceremony.
"Sister-in-law, I'll live with you."
Zou Mei held Xiao Linsheng in her arms and went out with Zhu Yunying.
Zhu Yunying reached out and teased Xiao Linsheng.
It was freezing cold and the tip of the little guy's nose was red.
She couldn't bear to do that.
"Let's go back. Xiao Zhang will take me there. If the guesthouse is convenient, let Xiao Zhang stay with me. We'll come back tomorrow when Feng Shuo comes back."
"...Okay. Sister-in-law, you have to be careful." Zou Mei suppressed her worry and reminded Xiao Zhang, "Xiao Zhang, take good care of my sister-in-law!"
Xiao Zhang was suddenly entrusted with an important task, and the burden on his shoulders suddenly became heavy.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
He snapped to attention and yelled.
After packing up their things, the two of them set off in a jeep.
We went to Wang Huahua’s guesthouse.
Sister Wang was cracking melon seeds behind the counter again, but she was obviously absent-minded. She was holding a telegram in her hand and sighing.
"Are there any rooms available?"
Zhu Yunying greeted everyone as soon as she entered the room. She was not sure if there would be a room available, so she could only try her luck.
Wang Huahua looked up and saw her, she was stunned at first, then her eyes lit up!
"Oh, Comrade Xiao Zhu, I've been waiting for you! I was thinking, if all else fails, I'll just sneak into the compound myself..."
Wang Huahua threw away the melon seeds, quickly stood up and walked towards her!
"I wouldn't come to you for no reason. I want to ask you for help!"
Zhu Yunying was holding a bag in her hand, stroking her belly with one hand. As she handed the things over, she explained, "I went out a little late today. The road is icy, and I'm worried it's not safe to drive back. Can we stay here for a night? I'll have a room, and the orderly will have a room with me. We'll leave tomorrow when it thaws."
"But we don't have a letter of introduction. This is a coat I made for practice. If you don't mind, please accept it."
Zhu Yunying spoke very beautifully, and Xiao Zhang, who was accompanying her, couldn't help but admire her.
To prove it, he stood straighter with a righteous look on his face.
Wang Huahua looked at her belly and nodded hurriedly, "Why not? You saved our Xiaotian's life! If it weren't for you, he would have been engulfed in the fire. I can't go to Beijing every day, so I rely on telegrams to wait for news."
Speaking of the fire, Zhu Yunying looked guilty: "It's our fault. If we hadn't asked Master Song to help make the costumes..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Wang Huahua.
"What kind of nonsense is that? Letting Xiaotian make costumes for the art troupe is an honor for him. It's a blessing for the Song family that they finally have a useful person. How can I blame you?"
Wang Huahua pulled Zhu Yunying aside and said, "Come on! Don't stay in the guesthouse, stay at my house! Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner later! It's my treat!"
"Big sister, thank you so much!"
Zhu Yunying insisted that she try the new jacket, which was also made of down.
Wang Huahua had never touched this kind of material before. She found it novel and flapped her arms in the air, her mouth grinning from ear to ear with joy!
"It's so light, I didn't expect it to be so warm! Oh, you young people really have good brains! At home, we just tie a shuttlecock with chicken feathers, and we never thought duck feathers could keep you warm!"
She smiled and said, "I'll try outside! Come on, let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner first!"
Wang Huahua stuffed a handful of melon seeds into Xiao Zhang's hand and said, "Young man, accompany Comrade Zhu to the state-owned restaurant first. It's not far away, just across the street. I'll leave a note on the counter and be right out!"
Xiao Zhang didn't dare to accept the melon seeds from the crowd, and stuffed them into Zhu Yunying's hands: "Sister-in-law, you are so popular!"
Zhu Yunying looked at Wang Huahua's cheerful expression and felt good too. She nodded and said, "You are such good people. I've always been thankful that I insisted on coming here to join the army. Otherwise, how could I have met you!"
Xiao Zhang scratched his head: "Hehe."
The two of them had just walked outside and had not yet had time to cross the road when they heard Zheng Hongmei's sarcastic remarks behind them.
"I was wondering how you could order Xiao Zhang around! So, when Captain Feng was away, you, the captain's wife, could actually come to the guesthouse with the orderly! Zhu Yunyao, you're truly disgusting..."
"Zheng Hongmei! What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Zhang's face flushed red when he heard it. He took off his hat and raised his hand to push the person. "Don't think I'm too young to understand! You only have good words in your mouth! Apologize to your sister-in-law immediately!"
"I apologize? Didn't you guys just come out of the guesthouse? Weren't you talking and laughing, almost holding hands?"
Zheng Hongmei yelled until her face flushed red, waving the cloth and cotton she had just bought from the supply and marketing cooperative and cursing, "You're jumping up and down just because you got caught. Who's the one feeling guilty?"
"Zheng Hongmei! If you insist on making such a fuss, I'll have no choice but to go to Captain Zhao and ask for an explanation! I heard that you failed the assessment and have to be discharged after the New Year? I think your ideological and moral character is not up to par!"
Zhu Yunying pulled away Xiao Zhang, who was ready to fight, glared at her and hit her hard.
Some passers-by around have cast curious glances.
Zhu Yunying didn't want to make things too big a deal and hoped to just stop at the right time.
After all, Zheng Hongmei and I are not incompatible, at most we just don't get along.
But she obviously overestimated Zheng Hongmei's humanity.
Just when Zhu Yunying saw Sister Wang Huahua walking out of the guesthouse and about to meet up with them, she was not paying attention and was pushed by Zheng Hongmei.
"Who do you think you are? You're just a capitalist daughter, and you're talking to me about ideology and morality! How could you enter the military compound without a man? You've made your fortune by marrying into a wealthy family, but your family should have been liquidated!"
"Zhu Yunwei, you should also be liquidated..."
Zheng Hongmei was cursing with all her might when her voice suddenly stopped. She watched Zhu Yunwei fall like a feather into the newly accumulated snow.
Zhu Yunwei closed her eyes tightly, fell down heavily, and blood flowed out from under her body.
The blood red of the red eyes dyed the white snow!
Xiao Zhang screamed heartbreakingly, "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Zheng Hongmei, are you crazy? How could you push a pregnant woman!"
Zheng Hongmei was also dumbfounded, and her arrogant face suddenly collapsed.
Murmuring: "I didn't use any strength at all, I didn't use any strength——"
