Chapter 58 If you don't listen, don't acknowledge me as your aunt.
Wang Lijuan didn't know where Wang Manman had gone. This girl left early and returned late every day, and was never seen except when it was time to eat.
Now, facing Political Commissar Lu's anger, Wang Lijuan also felt wronged, "How was I supposed to know that Manman would become like this after all these years? Besides, if you hadn't been constantly nagging me about Jingchuan's marriage, would I have sent Manman to Dongming Island?"
"She was sent to Dongming Island by the state, not by the Lu family! What a coincidence that the responsibility has now fallen on the Lu family?" Commissar Lu found it unbelievable.
Even without Qi Jingchuan's involvement, his brother-in-law had already decided to send Wang Manman to Dongming Island. Since she was going to go to the countryside anyway, he figured she had acquaintances on Dongming Island who could make things easier.
Political Commissar Lu was furious. "I don't care what method you use, you must get Wang Manman away!"
"I'm afraid it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away. I should have known better than to get involved in Jingchuan's marriage. Now I'm caught in the middle. You can handle it yourself!" Wang Lijuan said aggrievedly, passing the buck to Political Commissar Lu.
On one side is Qi Jingchuan, who calls her "teacher's wife," and on the other side is Wang Manman, who calls her "aunt." She is biased towards both of them.
Wang Lijuan went back to her room and didn't come out all afternoon. Even for dinner, Political Commissar Lu had to go to the canteen to bring it back. It took him half an hour of coaxing and gentle persuasion before Wang Lijuan finally showed her face and ate.
When Wang Manman returned, she sensed something was off. Her aunt and uncle looked unhappy and gave her strange looks. Could it be... that bitch Cen Yan was gossiping behind her back?
"Aunt, Uncle, you're just eating? I've already eaten outside. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room to rest. You can eat slowly." Wang Manman said as she walked into the house.
At this moment, Political Commissar Lu spoke up, "Manman, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Come and sit down, and keep your uncle company for a while."
"Uncle, what are you trying to say?" Wang Manman had a bad feeling.
Wang Lijuan gave Political Commissar Lu a push, urging him to finish the job quickly and get it over with!
Political Commissar Lu cut to the chase, "Well, you've been on Dongming Island for four or five days now. Shouldn't you report to the production team and participate in rural development?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Manman immediately burst into tears. "Uncle, Aunt, are you trying to kick Manman out? You can hit or scold me for whatever I've done wrong, but please don't kick me out, okay?"
Although Dongming Island is an island and not very large, it is still divided into towns and villages!
The hardships of rural production teams were nothing compared to the comforts of the military family compound, where there was plenty of food and drink and no need for labor. Because she was the niece of the political commissar's wife, all the outstanding men in the compound were happy to hang out with her.
She doesn't want to go to the countryside.
She bursts into tears after saying just a few words; even Political Commissar Lu is having a headache with this tactic.
Wang Lijuan had no intention of giving her niece any face anymore.
"Alright! Stop crying! Even if you cry until you go blind, you still have to go to the countryside. Otherwise, outsiders will think that your uncle is interfering with the work of the educated youth office because he is the political commissar! Pack your things tomorrow, and I'll have someone send you to the countryside to report for duty. When a suitable opportunity comes up, I'll send you back to Beijing."
“Auntie…” Wang Manman hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
Wang Lijuan stared at her: "Don't call me aunt! Have you forgotten what I told you? You gossip everywhere, almost ruining Jingchuan's marriage. Do you know how much damage your quick tongue could do to Jingchuan's future if the misunderstanding can't be cleared up!"
"Manman, if you really consider me your aunt, then obey the arrangements and obediently return to the educated youth camp. I promise I will definitely send you back to Beijing before the end of the year!"
"Otherwise, don't acknowledge me as your aunt!"
Wang Lijuan's attitude was firm, and Wang Manman burst into tears.
"You promised yourself that you would take good care of me when you came to Dongming Island, but now you've gone back on your word. Whose aunt are you anyway?"
"Alright, alright! I'm an educated youth, it's my duty to go to the countryside and live with those peasants. I'll leave tomorrow, are you satisfied now!"
After yelling at Wang Lijuan, Wang Manman covered her face and ran back to her room, slamming the door shut with a bang!
That bitch Cen Yan actually came to her aunt and uncle to tattle, causing her to be kicked out of the house. Wang Manman will remember this debt!
She won't let this go!
