Ye Meijing glared at Yang Niannian and angrily said, "Don't make excuses. It's a fact that I bought it for 13 yuan. You made money by cheating others. Now you are still making excuses. It's obvious that you want to distort the facts and refuse to repent."

Yang Niannian said expressionlessly, "Judge Bao also needs evidence to judge a case. He doesn't just kill people with a knife. If you want to convict me, then show me the actual evidence. Otherwise, let's go to the old leader to judge the case."

Although she is the youngest among the sisters-in-law, she is not at all stage-frightened when speaking and is more confident than Ye Meijing.

This made everyone start to doubt whether she was really wronged.

Maybe different stores sell pants at different prices?

This doesn’t prove that Yang Niannian made a profit from the price difference.

Ding Lanying was questioned about her fairness in public and had to report it to her old leader. Her face was stinkier than a toilet.

"Do you think the old leader is the uncle at the entrance of the village? Do you have nothing better to do than come over and judge for you?"

Yang Niannian, "I am wronged because I am not convinced by reason."

Ding Lanying's eyes almost popped out of her chest. She glared at Ye Meijing and asked, "Where did you buy it?"

If the matter really gets to the old leader, it will be of no benefit to her.

With so many military wives watching, if Yang Niannian doesn’t convince herself, she will probably be gossiped about in the future.

Ding Lanying suddenly realized that judging justice was a thankless job.

"Yes, Meijing, think about where you bought it? Haicheng is not that big. Even if the vendor moves to another place, he can't get out of Haicheng. You will always find it if you look for it." The military wife next to her echoed.

"Meijing, think about this carefully."

Seeing that the wind direction had changed, Ye Meijing panicked and said to Yang Niannian in a bad mood.

"Isn't it just that I didn't promise to buy you two pairs of pants? I bought you two pairs, what else do you have to say?"

The pants cost 21 yuan. If I buy two pairs for Yang Niannian at 13 yuan each, I will have to pay 16 yuan.

Ye Meijing was heartbroken to find that she had to pay so much money for telling a lie.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Yang Niannian said.

"No." Ye Meijing refused subconsciously.

After all this, even Ding Lanying noticed something was wrong.

"Why are you hiding this? How much did you buy it for?"

"I... I just bought it for 13 yuan." Ye Meijing avoided the gaze and didn't dare to look Ding Lanying in the eye.

None of the military wives present were blind. Who couldn't see that she was feeling guilty?

"Where did you buy it?" Ding Lanying pulled him and said, "I'll go with you."

To be honest, these cropped pants look pretty good. If they were really 13 yuan a pair, she could buy one pair for herself and one pair for her daughter.

"...I can't find the place." Ye Meijing's cheek felt like she was slapped in the face. It was burning and she no longer had any of her previous arrogance.

Yang Niannian sneered, "You just wanted to buy me two pairs, but now you can't find the place. Ye Meijing, do you believe these words?"

The truth is revealed.

No one knows how much Ye Meijing paid for the pants, but it was definitely not 13 yuan.

In order to show that she was fair, Ding Lanying took the perspective of a critic and scolded Ye Meijing harshly.

"Ye Meijing, you are also a military family member, how could you do such a thing?"

"What is your intention in framing Comrade Yang Niannian? Having a military wife like you is simply a disgrace to the family compound. Fortunately, I was not deceived by your words, otherwise I would have wronged Comrade Yang Niannian today."

Ye Meijing's face turned red with embarrassment. It hurt more than if she had been slapped. She wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Meijing, hurry up and apologize to Captain Lu's wife." Yu Hongli, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up and poked Ye Meijing with her elbow, signaling her to quickly give in.

"sorry."

Ye Meijing knew that the situation was hopeless and could only grit her teeth and apologize.

It would be disastrous if Yang Niannian refused to give in and reported the incident to the old leader.

"Okay, now that the apology has been made, the matter is over. Everyone should just go about doing what they need to do and stop gathering together." Ding Lanying tried to disperse the crowd.

Ye Meijing couldn't stay any longer, so she covered her face and ran back home.

Yang Niannian didn't intend to end it like this. She sneered, "Director Ding, I respect you for your age and treat you as an elder. Ye Meijing asked you to judge the case, and I actively cooperated. But I think that your judgment just now was unfair. You asked me to return the money and apologize before you found any evidence. You insulted my personality. Shouldn't you also apologize to me?"

Yang Niannian used the most respectful address and said the most irritating words.

"What did you say?" Ding Lanying suspected that she had misheard.

Asking her to apologize to Yang Niannian, what was she thinking?

During the years she has lived in the family compound, she has seen many military wives leave one after another. Whoever sees her doesn't respectfully call her Director Ding?

If she bows her head and apologizes, it means she admits her mistake. What's the difference between that and slapping her in the face?

The military wives present were all planning to leave, but when they heard this, they were stunned.

A military wife spoke up to try to mediate, "Captain Lu's wife, let it go. Director Ding is the elder, and she is also the wife of Political Commissar Zhang. You asked her to apologize. Aren't you looking down on Political Commissar Zhang?"

Yang Niannian, "Just because she is the wife of Political Commissar Zhang, shouldn't she set an example? You forced me to apologize, but I didn't pull my man out to block you, right?"

"Director Ding acted arbitrarily without knowing the truth or the cause of the matter. This way of handling things inevitably makes people wonder whether there were any military wives who were wronged when judging the case before."

Her voice was not loud, but every word she said was heart-piercing and made Ding Lanying very angry.

In the family compound, no one dared to disrespect her like this.

“You…you…”

With shaking hands, he pointed at Yang Niannian and said "you" several times, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence. When he got excited, his body went limp.

"Director Ding...what's wrong with you?"

"Oh my, this is terrible, Director Ding fainted from anger..."

"Quickly pinch the Ren Zhong."

"Director Ding, don't be angry or excited. Slow down."

A group of people surrounded Ding Lanying and pinched her philtrum, trying to calm her down, leaving a dark purple fingernail mark on her philtrum.

"All dispersed."

Yang Niannian directly brought a basin of water from the kitchen and poured it on him, saying seriously, "Cold water can wake up a fainted person. I've seen it played that way in movies."

Everyone: “…”

Director Ding was splashed with water as soon as he woke up and almost fainted again. Several military wives quickly helped Ding Lanying back home.

When these military wives returned from Ding Lanying's house and passed by Yang Niannian's house, they saw her squatting in the yard washing the mat as if nothing had happened.

What a big heart.

After making Director Ding faint from anger, she poured cold water on him and still had the mood to wash the mat. If it were any other military wife, she would have been scared to tears.

I don’t know if Captain Lu’s wife is having trouble.

Anyway, everyone can see one thing: Yang Niannian should not be provoked.

She is a thorn in the side. Even Director Ding, who is a tough guy, was pierced by her.
