Song Che rushed to the office and saw a group of people whispering outside. He quickly squeezed through the crowd to get in.
As soon as he entered, he saw his wife standing next to his mother-in-law, the two of them talking in hushed tones, while on the other side, a man with a bruised and swollen face was crying and recounting how he had been bullied.
Song Che walked over to his wife and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Are you and Mom alright?"
I heard that his wife and mother-in-law got into a fight. He saw the other person's miserable state. Is his wife alright?
Zhou Ling shook her head at him, and Chen Suwen replied, "It's others who are in trouble, how could A-Ling be in trouble?"
Seeing that they didn't seem to be hiding bad news, Song Che felt a little relieved.
He walked up to Zhou Ling and her daughter, then looked at the others and said, "My mother-in-law has only been in the family compound for less than a day, and I didn't expect someone to get into a fight with her?"
"Can anyone tell me what divine law my mother-in-law has broken?"
Upon seeing him, He Yuxian immediately complained, "Battalion Commander Song, your mother-in-law is really too much! She came up and hit me as soon as she saw me!"
"Did your wife tell her that I don't get along with her, so your mother-in-law came and beat me up?"
"Battalion Commander Song, you'd better have a good talk with your wife. I only talked to her because your house is a bit noisy sometimes."
"If your house wasn't noisy day and night, why would I have come to your door to say these things to her?"
Hearing her say that, Song Che couldn't help but frown. "Sister-in-law He, when did our house disturb you?"
"Neither of our two neighbors next door has complained that our house is noisy, so why is it that only your family keeps saying that our house is noisy?"
"My wife is usually at work and not at home, and my two children are at school and not at home either. How did we disturb you during the day?"
“Even at night, even if there are people at home, we generally don’t stomp our feet or move heavy objects, let alone break pots and pans and make noise.”
How could you say our house is making noise for you?
"Besides, my wife isn't the type to complain to others. Don't judge her by your own standards."
Song Che's words were all about protecting his wife and mother-in-law; he couldn't let others smear their reputation.
He Yuxian was surprised by Song Che's words and her eyes widened in surprise.
Song Che looked at his leader and said, "It is indeed wrong of my mother-in-law to hit someone, but she would not have acted rashly if she hadn't been provoked."
“We are willing to pay for Sister He’s medical expenses, but my mother-in-law needs an apology.”
Zhou Ling had just whispered to her that He Yuxian had provoked her mother first, which was why she was beaten. Since it wasn't his mother-in-law who started the trouble, he wouldn't feel guilty about it.
The leader looked at He Yuxian, then at Chen Suwen, and finally at Song Che, saying earnestly, "Little Song, it was indeed wrong of your mother-in-law to hit someone... but you're also right, if Comrade He hadn't provoked her first, she wouldn't have been hit."
"Boss!" Hearing that her boss was in the wrong, He Yuxian quickly retorted, "I was the one who got hit! How did I provoke her?"
The leader ignored He Yuxian's rebuttal, saying, "I understand the cause and process of the matter. Comrade He Yuxian, you were in the wrong in this matter."
"Comrade Chen Suwen was walking peacefully on the road, and you came over to provoke her. It's really not her fault that you got beaten up."
"Since Xiao Song and the others are willing to reimburse you for your medical expenses, don't be too concerned about it."
He Yuxian's eyes widened even more, she couldn't believe it. "Boss, what you're saying is clearly what happened to me."
"Boss, look at me! My face is all swollen from being slapped by her!"
"I saw it. Didn't I tell them to pay for your medical expenses?" The leader was helpless; He Yuxian was the one who started this whole thing.
Although he didn't like Chen Suwen, he was even more dissatisfied with He Yuxian, who started the trouble.
"Alright, behave yourself and don't cause trouble."
"You can't even beat an old lady, yet you dare to provoke her. You deserved to be beaten."
He Yuxian wanted to continue making a scene, but her husband rushed over and dragged her away.
Song Che and Zhou Ling are people you can't afford to offend, and the leaders are even more untouchable. What exactly is she trying to do?
He Yuxian was pulled away by her man, and Song Che also sent his wife and mother-in-law home together.
The third floor, He Yuxian's home.
"Why did you drag me back? Your wife was beaten up, and you're just going to let them get away with it?" He Yuxian complained to her husband.
Li Lindong frowned deeply, accusing her of causing trouble.
"If you don't cause trouble, will you get beaten up?"
"You know perfectly well that you can't afford to offend the Song family, so why do you still go and provoke them?"
"Do you even know who Song Che is? Do you know how badly I'll suffer if he holds a grudge after you cause me trouble?"
"Can you please stop causing me trouble? You go upstairs every day to bother Teacher Zhou, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Li Lindong was really annoyed by his wife's troublesome personality. Why did he ignore her personality and insist on marrying her just because she was good-looking?
"How did I cause trouble? It was clearly Zhou Ling's fault. If it weren't for her and her mother, how could I be in such a miserable state?"
"You caused this trouble yourself, and you're blaming others?"
"Li Lindong, whose side are you on? Are you also interested in Zhou Ling?"
"You also think I'm inferior to Zhou Ling in every way, don't you? Do you think I'm not as good as her, and regret marrying me?"
What He Yuxian hated and envied most about Zhou Ling was that Zhou Ling's family background was better than hers, she was better educated, had a better social standing, and even received better praise from others.
