Standing outside the fence were Bai Hongmei's two children, Wei Dong and Wei Fang.
In the morning, Bai Hongmei ran out wearing a tight vest and shorts. She thought she showed off her figure, but she actually embarrassed herself.
Li Yan had been with her for many days and was aware of Bai Hongmei's arrogant and crazy temper, so she didn't dare to say anything too harsh about her.
On the surface, he coaxed and persuaded Bai Hongmei and dragged her back home. He secretly took the opportunity of going out to fetch water to go to the neighborhood committee of the staff housing complex and file a complaint.
Among the five staff members of the neighborhood committee, three are family members. He immediately went out to ask around, and sure enough, many people saw Bai Hongmei running to Shen Xiao's door in disheveled clothes to make a scene.
"Fortunately, Captain Shen is not at home today. You see, if things really get out of hand, Captain Shen will be embarrassed, but the other people in the army will be proud?"
"I really have no choice. No matter how good my temper is, I can't stand her making such a fuss."
Li Yan cried and told the neighborhood committee what Bai Hongmei had done in her home.
Director Qiu of the neighborhood committee is a man, and he is very troubled by these trivial matters. But since the family members came to him, he had no choice but to resolve the issue.
"Sister-in-law, you've been wronged. Drink some water and take a rest first."
"The organization is also in a difficult position regarding Bai Hongmei's case. The compensation that should have been given has been paid, and her deeds have been reported to the local grassroots level. Logically speaking, this matter has come to an end. But she is now pregnant with the hero's posthumous child, and she has encountered hardships, so we have to intervene."
"Besides, Captain Shen is also responsible for this matter. After all, Wei Yanda is his soldier. Bai Hongmei can always find him if she needs anything. Captain Shen himself said so."
As soon as Li Yan heard it, she knew that Director Qiu was trying to pass the buck again.
He muttered unconvincedly, "Captain Shen is a good man, and everyone in the army knows that. He gives extra money to his soldiers who just retire. He gives even more to those who retire due to illness, injuries, or sacrifice like Wei Yanda."
Director Qiu pushed his glasses and a trace of disdain flashed across his face.
As a fellow soldier, he didn't understand Shen Xiao's behavior. Those retired soldiers have no money, no power, and no talent. If someone is really capable, he would have stayed in the army and been promoted long ago.
It's useless for Shen Xiao to use his own allowance to give them the subsidies.
"Captain Shen values friendship and loyalty, and is a role model for us to learn from."
There were many people in the office, and Director Qiu did not dare to reveal his true thoughts, so he could only praise Shen Xiao against his will.
Li Yan sniffed and said loudly to Director Qiu: "Director, don't just talk about learning, take some practical actions."
"Let me tell you, Bai Hongmei has been acting crazy lately. We are her relatives, and she won't listen to anything we say."
"Leader, you should go over and persuade her. Ask her to be more careful in what she says and does. This is too embarrassing and it also brings shame to the family housing."
Director Qiu didn't expect that this family member would be so difficult to deal with. As soon as he said a few polite words, she took the opportunity to get along with him.
"She's a lesbian, how can I say that? What if I say something wrong and she gets upset and does something more drastic?"
Director Qiu is too lazy to deal with these trivial matters. He will retire in two years and does not want to get involved in any trouble.
"Director, if you are embarrassed to go, why don't you find a female comrade to go. They are all from your neighborhood committee anyway, so just scare her and make her behave herself."
Director Qiu thought this was a simple matter, so he quickly found a subordinate with a stern look and asked her to give Bai Hongmei an ideological and political lesson.
Bai Hongmei is a person who is soft-hearted and afraid of tough people. When she saw the people from the neighborhood committee, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, and she didn't dare to say a word.
He listened to the scolding obediently, feeling aggrieved and shy and hiding in the house without going out.
Li Yan was very happy, "This time we can have peace and quiet for two or three days."
It was just that she was happy too early. Bai Hongmei was too embarrassed to go out to look for Shen Xiao. Did she have no other choice?
The children played outside for a while and returned home hungry, only to find their mother lying dead on the kang.
The stove was cold and nothing could be done, and the hungry children were crying loudly.
"Don't cry, Mom is feeling unwell and doesn't have the energy to cook."
"You guys are hungry, go to Auntie's house and see what you can eat."
"After you finish eating, go see if your Uncle Shen has returned home. If he has, go borrow some food coupons from Uncle Shen. We have used up all our food coupons. If we don't buy food, we will be hungry tomorrow."
In this way, Wei Dong and Wei Fang, brother and sister, went to Li Yan's kitchen and stole four or five steamed buns to fill their stomachs.
I played in the courtyard in the afternoon, and every now and then I would go to the gate of Shen Xiao's house to see if anyone had returned.
As soon as Shen Xiao came back in the jeep, Wei Dong followed him.
Unfortunately, before he could find Shen Xiao to ask for food coupons, Shen Xiao had already driven away.
Wei Fang looked at the smoke coming out of the Shen family's chimney, licked her lips, and said pitifully to Wei Dong: "Brother, I'm hungry."
"Let's go to Uncle Shen's house."
Wei Dong narrowed his eyes and said shrewdly, "Wait a moment, Uncle Shen has left in his car. Now that annoying woman is at his house, she will definitely not give us any good food."
"Brother, I heard from Hao Chunmei that this woman is very generous. Many children in the compound have asked her for wedding candy, and she gave them all. If we ask her, she will definitely give us more."
Wei Dong gritted his teeth and scolded his sister: "You are so stupid! She gave candy to others to win their hearts. She is so mean, she will never give us candy."
Wei Fang looked puzzled: "Why? Uncle Chen loves us the most. She is Uncle Chen's wife. She will definitely please us and give us more."
"Stupid! If she gives candy to others, those people will definitely praise her in front of Uncle Shen. Those country bumpkins, what can't they say for a few pieces of candy?"
"We are different! Our mother said that Uncle Shen owed our father a life. Without our father, he has to support us, and his salary belongs to our family. Do you think this woman is willing to spend all of Uncle Shen's salary on us?"
When Wei Fang heard her brother's words, she opened her mouth in fear.
The little eyes clicked, and she stamped her feet anxiously: "What should we do? Uncle Shen's money was spent on her, so what should we spend?"
Wei Dong touched his chin pretending to be deep, and said in an unfathomable tone: "So we have to wait for Uncle Shen to come back before we can go in."
Wei Fang touched her rumbling stomach and pouted her lips in grievance: "When will Uncle Chen come back?"
If Uncle Shen doesn't come back, will we not be able to eat tonight?
Wei Fang had a gloomy face, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.
When she looked up, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her with big strides.
"He's back! Uncle Shen, Uncle Shen is back."
Wei Fang screamed loudly with excitement and ran towards Shen Xiao.
The moment Wei Dong saw Shen Xiao, green light burst out of his eyes, just like a hungry dog seeing meat bones.
Wagging its tail and drooling, it rushed over excitedly...
