Aunt Ma felt relieved, but after a moment's hesitation, she came out to smooth things over: "Xiao Xia, how about forget it?"
"There's no need to make a big deal about this. The leaders are very busy."
Who has so much time to care about their trivial matters?
The rest of the words were not spoken, but Xu Zhixia understood what she meant.
Xu Zhixia was not surprised that Aunt Ma wanted to be a peacemaker, and she had no intention of making a big deal out of it.
He crossed his arms, looked around, and said, "I know what you're thinking. You just look down on my status."
"But our Xu family is upright and honest. Even though we have been labeled as capitalists, we have never wronged anyone."
"Besides, all my family's assets were handed over before I joined the army."
The powerful voice reached everyone's ears, and they all showed an expression of disbelief.
Even though everyone clamors and looks down on capitalists, if conditions permit, who doesn’t want to have money at home?
Xu Zhixia noticed this, but ignored it and continued, "If anyone objects to my family's actions, I'll suspect... maybe they have some improper intentions!"
"People whose thinking is out of touch and whose morals are deficient are a cancer among the human race."
Just a few words changed her status dramatically.
Everyone regretted being too impulsive and shouldn't have provoked her.
If you are accused of something...you can't get rid of it even if you jump into the Yellow River.
They all wanted to retreat and leave.
But some people don’t think so, like Wu Xiuxiu.
She sneered: "You say it's nice, but you say to hand it in, so what?"
"Such a large sum of money, I don't believe your family is willing to spend it!"
Xu Zhixia laughed in anger: "Wu Xiuxiu, have you ever heard a saying? People with a heart of evil see everything as dirty."
"My home and yours...are really different."
Wu Xiuxiu blushed and suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up.
"If you handed it all over, where did you get the money to buy so many things?"
Since Xu Zhixia came to the island, she has bought countless things, and many people have been talking about her squandering money privately.
Before I knew her identity, I thought she was spending Zhou An's money.
Now, no matter what the truth is, just put the blame on Xu Zhixia.
Wu Xiuxiu had a good plan, and Xu Zhixia also saw it.
She looked over coldly and was about to speak when a strange voice sounded hesitantly: "Excuse me...where is Comrade Xu Zhixia's home?"
This one sentence attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked over at the same time.
The postman was startled, staggered back two steps, and was immediately confused.
Song Hao is the messenger in charge of the island. Normally, he shouldn't come so late, but he couldn't resist Zhao Yue's request, so he decided to come.
But after coming to the island so many times, he had never heard of Xu Zhixia's name.
I went around in circles but couldn't find the address.
Seeing that there were a lot of people here, I wanted to come over to ask for directions, but I didn’t expect that I would get into trouble.
Just as he was wondering in his heart, the most beautiful girl in the crowd stepped forward and said, "I am Xu Zhixia. Just give me the letter."
She wondered if it was a reply from home.
Song Hao breathed a sigh of relief and took out the letter from his small bag. Just as he was about to hand it to Xu Zhixia, a pair of hands suddenly reached out and snatched the letter away.
Xu Zhixia's expression suddenly changed. Before she could snatch it back, Wu Xiuxiu opened the envelope in front of her with a smug look on her face.
"Xu Zhixia, this should be a letter from your family, right?"
"You said you'd hand over all your property. I want to see if your parents will give you any subsidies!"
As she finished speaking, she tore open the envelope in her hand, and a few banknotes fell lightly on the beach.
Wu Xiuxiu's eyes lit up, and her smile became even more arrogant: "See? This is the evidence!"
Xu Zhixia paused. Now that her parents knew about his situation, they would not send her any more letters.
Then there is only one possibility, a guess emerged in her mind, and she calmed down.
"Then do you want to see what the letter says?" she taunted.
Wu Xiuxiu glanced at Xu Zhixia suspiciously, mainly because Xu Zhixia's reaction was too calm.
But she didn't think much about it, just thought Xu Zhixia had given up, so she picked up the letter and started reading.
She only has an elementary school diploma and can barely read, but she's more than capable of reading letters.
The more she looked down, the uglier her expression became, and she said nothing.
The other aunts who were waiting to see the fun became anxious and couldn't help but urge: "Xiu Xiu, what's written in it? Tell me."
Wu Xiuxiu's mouth seemed to be sewn shut and she couldn't utter a word.
Xu Zhixia raised the corner of his mouth in a sarcastic smile.
She stepped forward, snatched the letter from Wu Xiuxiu's hand, and read it quickly.
As expected, she smiled confidently.
"Since arriving on the island, I've realized how difficult it is for everyone, and I'm deeply touched."
"So I wrote down my husband's daily training routine and submitted it to the newspaper."
"This money is the royalties the other party gave me."
"And this letter is the evidence!"
After a pause, she continued, "Let's not talk about whether I will be able to make money after my family hands over the property."
"My husband's allowance alone is enough to cover my expenses."
"If you still have any questions, you can stand up and confront me face to face!"
After the words fell, everyone fell silent and looked at Xu Zhixia in disbelief.
In their view, writing articles is something that only writers and teachers can do.
Not many of the military wives who follow the army can read or write.
Who would have thought that Xu Zhixia was so capable?
With the halo of a cultured person, everyone looks at her differently.
Xu Zhixia ignored him, her eyes fixed on Wu Xiuxiu, and asked, "Wu Xiuxiu, do you have any questions now?"
Wu Xiuxiu blushed and couldn't utter a word.
Compared to Xu Zhixia, she was like dust in the ground. And what she had done today was just like a clown.
She stomped her feet fiercely and ran away without looking back.
The other aunts looked at each other and made excuses to leave one after another.
An ambiguous farce ended just like that.
Song Hao rubbed his head guiltily and said, "Comrade Xu, I'm sorry. I didn't expect her to suddenly come over and snatch it."
Xu Zhixia shook her head and didn't take it to heart.
After all, she didn't know that Wu Xiuxiu would do such an impolite thing.
After thanking Song Hao again and again, she watched Song Hao leave.
Her original idea of going to the beach was gone. She just felt as if there was a lump in her chest, and she felt very suffocated.
Aunt Ma seemed to have noticed it as well. She stepped forward, patted her shoulder, and comforted her, "Xiao Xia, this is a good thing too."
"After today's commotion, no one will dare to bother you again."
Xu Zhixia smiled and said nothing more, but she knew in her heart that this matter was not over yet.
