After listening to Ye Zhaozhao's words, Zheng Xiu decided to take the initiative and discuss the matter with her brother.
Her husband thought he could use this as leverage against her, and she was determined to prove that he was framing her.
The next day, when Ye Zhaozhao went out, she encountered Hou Meihua, who was holding a child in her arms.
He glared angrily at Ye Zhaozhao ever since he was fired from the pharmaceutical company.
Her life has deteriorated significantly; now she not only has to take care of her child.
Her husband even brought the elderly people from the family over, and Hou Meihua was busy every day.
She felt that it was all Ye Zhaozhao's fault, when suddenly she saw a puddle of water in front of Ye Zhaozhao.
She pretended to be passing by while holding the child, secretly planning to extort a large sum of money from Ye Zhaozhao.
Everyone knows that Ye Zhaozhao's family is the richest in this residential compound, and Ye Zhaozhao had long seen through her thoughts.
When she came over, he simply dodged her.
Hou Meihua was holding the child and was about to drop him when Ye Zhaozhao looked at the child in her arms.
He grabbed the back of her collar, thinking how foolish this woman was; she didn't even care about her own child in order to scheme against him.
After Hou Meihua regained her footing, she glared at Ye Zhaozhao. It was just the time for everyone to leave.
When everyone saw the two of them locked in a stalemate, they all came over.
"Ye Zhaozhao, why did you push me?"
Ye Zhaozhao thought that Hou Meihua was determined to extort her today, so she looked at everyone and said that she had not pushed her.
Hou Meihua was blind and didn't watch where she was going; she had just saved her.
"The road is so flat, how could I have fallen if you hadn't pushed me?"
"Ye Zhaozhao, I don't know where I offended you. You fired me from the pharmaceutical factory, and now you're trying to harm me?"
Hou Meihua spoke with such sincerity that Ye Zhaozhao knew she was just resentful about being fired.
I was thinking that since we both lived in the family compound, I should save her some face.
Since she's shameless now, she can't blame Ye Zhaozhao.
Ye Zhaozhao then explained her performance at the pharmaceutical factory, and at first everyone thought it was really Ye Zhaozhao's fault.
Now that I hear what she said, I feel that Hou Meihua is blaming others for her own mistakes.
Hou Meihua knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't mention being fired again, but instead held her waist.
"I hurt my back, you have to pay me 100 yuan today."
Everyone gasped; this Hou Meihua really dared to ask for such an exorbitant amount.
Ye Zhaozhao looked at Hou Meihua, nodded in agreement, and then asked her for confirmation.
"You really want me to pay you a hundred dollars?"
When Hou Meihua heard her say that, she thought that the other woman was willing to compensate her, and she was instantly happy.
Holding her daughter, she reached out her hand to Ye Zhaozhao.
"Yes, give me a hundred yuan and I'll let this matter go today."
"good."
Hearing Ye Zhaozhao agree, everyone became anxious; it was obvious to anyone with eyes to see.
Hou Meihua was trying to extort money from people, and Ye Zhaozhao was just about to remind her.
"Could you let someone else hold the child for a while?"
Hou Meihua didn't know what she was going to do, but she was thinking that she could get the money.
He casually shoved the child into the arms of a military wife and then looked expectantly at Ye Zhaozhao.
The next second, Ye Zhaozhao raised her hand and slapped Hou Meihua's face from side to side.
Hou Meihua was caught off guard by the beating, and everyone watching was stunned.
Hou Meihua only got up from the ground after Ye Zhaozhao got tired of hitting her.
He spat out blood from every tooth he opened his mouth, and his face was swollen like a pig's head.
No one could bear to watch anymore; Hou Meihua was about to explode.
"Ye Zhaozhao, what right do you have to hit me?"
"Didn't you want a hundred dollars? I'll grant your wish; this is what a hundred dollars hurts."
"Give me the money now."
Hou Meihua thought she couldn't let herself be beaten for nothing today, but Ye Zhaozhao looked at her with disdain again.
I told her to go to the military hospital to have her injuries assessed by a doctor.
She would only pay if the injury really cost a hundred yuan, under Hou Meihua's shocked gaze.
Ye Zhaozhao reminded her to bring evidence when she came to see her.
Seeing this result, everyone was delighted. Hou Meihua couldn't stay any longer and turned to run away.
The military wife holding the child called out to her from behind.
"You have to take the child back."
The news that Hou Meihua had been beaten so badly her head turned into a pig's head spread throughout the morning.
After learning about this, Chief Liang summoned Ge Daqiang, the man of Gu Yunduan and Hou Meihua, to his office.
"You two each write a report about the fight between Comrade Ye and Comrade Hou."
When Ge Daqiang heard that Hou Meihua had caused him trouble again, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Gu Yunduan understood Ye Zhaozhao's temperament; she wouldn't provoke anyone unless someone else provoked her.
Commander Ling also learned about this and told Xia Lan when he got home. Xia Lan had been focusing on her pregnancy during this time.
When she heard that Ye Zhaozhao had gotten into a fight, she initially felt a sense of satisfaction.
"If you ask me, Brigade Commander Gu's wife is really troublesome. With her around in the family compound, there's no way things will be peaceful."
Xia Lan recalled the time she came to her house before; her eyes seemed to know something.
Thinking of this, Xia Lan told Ling Zhihui about it.
"You're saying Ye Zhaozhao knows about us?"
Ling Zhihui was always afraid that others would find out that he and Xia Lan had gotten together before their divorce.
If this gets out, his position as commander will be over.
"Yes, you don't know, she was so arrogant and domineering in front of me when she came to my house that time."
Ling Zhihui knew that the military region was going to conduct a major assessment soon, which was for the General Military Region to select talent.
Everyone thought that Gu Yunduan would definitely be selected this time.
"Zhihui, Gu Yunduan is just a brigade commander now, and Ye Zhaozhao dares to be so arrogant."
