"You can know a person's face but not their heart; I never expected Li Hongxia to be this kind of person!"
"She's embarrassed herself in front of the whole compound. Let's see how she'll ever face anyone again!"
These whispers, though not loud, were like countless fine needles, piercing Li Hongxia's body until she was completely wounded.
She wished she could go blind or deaf immediately, or simply die.
Zhao Jing waited until she finished reading before picking up the microphone again, her expression serious.
"Quiet down!"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.
"Comrade Li Hongxia's behavior is extremely egregious! This is not a simple neighborhood squabble; it is undermining the unity of our military families!"
"What are we military dependents? We are the most secure rear area for the troops! We should help each other, not suspect each other and spread rumors!"
Zhao Jing's words were powerful and resonant, each one striking a chord in the hearts of everyone present.
Those military wives who had previously relayed messages and made sarcastic remarks all lowered their heads guiltily.
"This is a public apology. If it happens again, no matter who it is, it will be reported directly to the military for disciplinary action!"
Zhao Jing sharply scanned the entire room, finally fixing her gaze on Li Hongxia.
"I hope you'll take care of yourself!"
Li Hongxia could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face, but she dared not utter a sound. She could only bite her lip tightly, letting her body tremble like a leaf.
Throughout the entire process, Su Wantang remained quietly seated in her place.
She didn't even glance at Li Hongxia, straightening her back with a cold and indifferent look in her eyes.
Li Hongxia, who stirs up trouble everywhere, should have expected this day to come.
As soon as the meeting ended, the crowd dispersed.
The military wives walked in twos and threes, and when they passed Li Hongxia, they all avoided her as if she were a plague.
"Wantang, what happened today... is truly gratifying." After the meeting, Sun Xiulian held Su Wantang's hand, her face full of relief: "That's wonderful, you're so lucky, the baby will definitely be alright!"
Su Wantang smiled and agreed, but out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Zheng Nana not far away.
Zheng Nana's face looked unwell, and her eyes darted around, as if she was worried about something.
Su Wantang sneered inwardly.
She didn't believe that her prenatal checkup report had nothing to do with Zheng Nana.
We can only wait for the investigation results.
at night.
A loud shout came from Li Hongxia's house, followed by a crisp "smack".
"You troublemaker! You've completely disgraced me!" Wang Aiguo slapped Li Hongxia across the face, trembling with rage. "A military family meeting! A meeting to criticize you! Do you know what our battalion commander said to me today? Huh?"
Li Hongxia's mouth was bleeding from the beating, and she covered her face, crying, "I didn't know it would turn out like this..."
"You don't know?" Wang Aiguo grabbed her hair, his eyes bloodshot. "I've worked so hard to climb the ranks in the army, and you're setting fire to my backyard! Come on! Come with me to Commander Lu's house right now to apologize!"
He didn't give Li Hongxia a chance to change her clothes at all, and dragged her out.
Su Wantang and Lu Linchuan were just about to rest when they heard a knock on the door.
Lu Linchuan opened the door and saw Wang Aiguo and Li Hongxia arguing outside. His brows furrowed instantly.
As soon as Wang Aiguo saw Lu Linchuan, he immediately put on a smiling face and forcefully pushed Li Hongxia in front of him: "Commander Lu, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not disciplining this woman well and causing you trouble!"
As he spoke, he pulled a thick wad of ten-yuan notes from his pocket and stuffed them into Su Wantang's hand.
