Chapter 59: Every action has its consequences, and I am your retribution!
"Su Mei, aren't you afraid that I will report you to my superiors and make it impossible for you to stay in this military compound?" Zhao Ying was forced into a corner and actually uttered the threatening words directly.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Huo Jianguo's eyes. Without waiting for Su Mei to speak, he said coldly:
"You want to report it? Then hurry up and take care."
The cold voice startled Zhao Ying for a moment, and then she actually covered her mouth and laughed: "I understand, Master Huo is eager to use my hand to drive Su Mei away!"
Su Mei: “…”
What a bastard! Even though she knew he desperately wanted a divorce, at least she and he had been getting along pretty well these past two days. There was no need to lose face for her during a quarrel like this!
There is no momentum in quarreling like this...
"Who said she was leaving?" Su Mei was just thinking that Huo Jianguo didn't give her face, but Huo Jianguo gave her enough face in the next sentence. He said:
"If you report her, at most she will not be able to live in the military compound, which is not a good place.
At worst, she can just not live here anymore. Can't I go to a town thirty miles away and buy her a small yard to live in?
Teacher Zhao, your threats are meaningless. If you come here today and apologize sincerely, I might forgive you this time for the sake of Political Commissar Lu.
But you are threatening me. I cannot stand being threatened, especially when my family is threatened.
If you think threats work, then I will say the same thing as Su Mei, go wherever you want."
"I..." Zhao Ying didn't expect Huo Jianguo to confront her in such a tone. She opened her mouth for a moment and became speechless.
Su Mei was also stunned. She didn't expect Huo Jianguo to be so supportive.
"Jianguo, Zhao Ying really didn't mean it. She is just impatient and definitely has no bad intentions. Please forgive her this time." Liang Youwei was afraid that Zhao Ying would really lose her job, so he could only continue to flatter her.
But Huo Jianguo still didn't like what he said. What did he mean by no bad intentions? "Liang Youwei, instead of talking nonsense to me here, you might as well consider finding a new job for Zhao Ying.
Don't say that I can't persuade Su Mei to speak for Zhao Ying. Even if she is willing, do you think Political Commissar Lu can persuade her? You should know that he is a stubborn person, so he has more principles than anyone else. "
"Then we have to give it a try!" It's not easy to find a new job. Liang Youwei lowered his head bitterly, realizing that the situation seemed to be beyond redemption. He began to secretly resent Zhao Ying for meddling in his affairs.
Su Mei decisively refused: "No, it's useless to try."
Before coming, Zhao Ying thought this matter would be easy. After all, Su Mei had done so many wrong things. How could Huo Jianguo have the nerve to be so fussy about it?
They all live next door to each other, and Huo Jianguo and Liang Youwei are colleagues. The difference in their ranks is not too great, and they see each other every day. There is no need for Huo Jianguo to offend anyone to death.
So she confidently carried her things and followed Liang Youwei to find Huo Jianguo. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.
That day she barked like a dog in front of so many people, which was already a disgrace to her. If she lost her status as a teacher, how would she be able to stay in this compound in the future?
Without a job, will Liang Youwei still obey her as before?
Wouldn't she be like the other women in this compound who depended on men for their livelihood, eating every day while looking at the man's face?
Zhao Ying could not accept this reality. After finally recognizing the current situation, she could not help but burst into tears. She could no longer care about her face and bowed deeply to Su Mei:
"Su Mei, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please help me this time, okay? I promise that as long as you help me this time, I will never target you again in the future and will not interfere with you!"
"You finally admit that you are targeting me?" Su Mei found the loophole in this sentence. She was quite curious about the reason behind it:
"Can you tell me why you are targeting me? I really can't remember any personal grudges between me and you."
"No." Zhao Ying seemed flustered. She shook her head: "I just can't stand your behavior."
"Well, I don't like you either, so don't waste your breath. I said I won't help you." Su Mei said as she turned aside and pointed the way to Zhao Ying:
"The door is this way. Take care."
Seeing that Su Mei was not moved by his persuasion, Zhao Ying stomped his feet fiercely, turned around and walked out the door angrily.
As soon as she walked out of the face, Su Mei called her: "Wait!"
Thinking that things could turn around, Zhao Ying turned around happily, but saw Su Mei pointing at something on the table:
"Take your stuff away."
Zhao Ying glared at Su Mei when she heard this, then turned around and picked up the things she had brought. Before leaving, she stood at the door and looked at Su Mei, saying bitterly:
"Su Mei, as the saying goes, leave a way out for yourself so that you can meet again in the future. You did such a ruthless thing, be careful of retribution!"
"If I will be punished, then isn't your current fate your punishment?" Su Mei couldn't help but think of the famous Internet meme. She put her hands on her hips and said:
"Every action has its consequences, and I am your retribution!"
