Chapter 161: Team Leader Song’s Pretty and Thin Wife
The next day's lunch was half a rabbit stewed with plums and served with brown rice.
Jiang Haixia caught too many rabbits, and there were still twenty-eight left to dry in the sun, but only seven chickens.
"Next time, send a few rabbits back home, along with some dried roe deer meat and venison." Lin Qingqing said to Xiaomei while eating.
She doesn't want to eat rabbit all the time; her favorite food is fish.
"Okay." Xiaomei had just recovered from the danger that Lin Qingqing had encountered in the town, so she did whatever Lin Qingqing said.
After dinner, Lin Qingqing went for a nap. At this time, the army posted an announcement that caused an uproar in the army and the family compound.
Team leader Song's pretty but frail daughter-in-law actually beat up two murderers and rapists with her bare hands and successfully subdued them. She also reported the incident to the town police station, and now the two wanted criminals have been sentenced to death.
This notice was posted on the military bulletin board and at the entrance to the military compound. The content is as follows.
"Comrade Lin Qingqing, a military dependent, was on his way to town a few days ago when he encountered a thug with a half-meter-long gun and a 1.8-meter-tall, martial artist. These two were habitual robbers in the county and had been wanted by the police station four months ago. Interrogation revealed that over the past year and a half, they had robbed countless people, injured more than 20 people, insulted women and men, and killed three ordinary people.
Comrade Lin Qingqing subdued the two wanted criminals on the spot and reported them to the town police, who apprehended them and sentenced them to death. To commend Comrade Lin Qingqing for his bravery in subduing the criminals with his bare hands, the police station personally presented him with the Second Class Public Security Medal of Honor.
The 957th Regiment issues this announcement to commend Comrade Lin Qingqing, who exemplifies the courage and resilience expected of a military wife. All military spouses, please follow Comrade Lin Qingqing's example and be a wife who is as capable as any man and thrives alongside her husband.
I would also like to remind all military families not to go to town alone to fill the family vacancy!
Don't go alone!
Don’t go alone!”
The sisters-in-law read the notice from top to bottom several times with their eyes open. When they saw Wang Xingguo and Chen Er committing crimes, they swallowed their saliva. Then they saw Lin Qingqing subduing the murderers with her bare hands, and nodded in approval.
They believed it even though they didn't want to. Could it be that the army's announcement was deceptive? Could it be that the second-class public security honor award was fake?
It's really fake.
In order to prevent Jiang Haixia from being too visible to the public, the army called the police station and asked them to write in the newspaper that only Lin Qingqing subdued two wanted criminals, and not to mention Jiang Haixia.
Although the police station had no right to do so, it could only do as the army requested.
After notifying the police station, the chief asked his subordinates to work overtime at noon to write the notice and post it.
The sisters-in-law in the compound have been learning herbal medicine from Lin Qingqing these days, and they have become familiar with each other. They all went to Lin Qingqing's house to see the medals, and some also wanted to praise Lin Qingqing.
This kind of vicious thug who deserves to be beaten ten times deserves to die. It's better to beat him up.
This was just the thugs they encountered on the way to the town. If they had encountered this, they would never have dared to imagine what would happen.
Lin Qingqing woke up at 1:30 and walked out of her room, only to see that the yard and the door were crowded with her sister-in-law.
Lin Qingqing: Didn’t we wait under the pine tree at three o’clock to get a number?
As soon as the sisters-in-law saw Lin Qingqing coming out, they all came over and kept praising her.
"Qingqing, you're amazing! You subdued two wanted criminals by yourself. You really bring honor to our military families."
"Qingqing, I didn't expect you to be so thin, but you're so strong. It's a good idea to hit me."
"Qingqing, please take out your medal and show it to me."
“…”
The sisters-in-law chattered to Lin Qingqing, who looked confused.
Sister Xiuhong pushed her way through the crowd and told them about the notice posted by the army.
Lin Qingqing: “…”
"Xiaomei, bring the medal and certificate of honor." Xiaomei was squeezed to the kitchen door, and the certificate was placed on the bookshelf in the living room.
Xiaomei trotted out of the living room and handed it to Lin Qingqing, but before Lin Qingqing could touch it, it was snatched away by one of her sisters-in-law.
These sisters-in-law rushed to get the certificates like grabbing hydrangeas...
Lin Qingqing was free now, and she could finally take off her hair and wash her face.
After washing her face, she went to help the Eagle Claw sisters turn over and dry the herbs. She was busy until exactly three o'clock before she went to the gate of the compound.
Aunt Wang had just come over from the army with the area code, and more than a dozen sisters-in-law lined up under the pine tree.
When she first arrived and saw the sisters-in-law's spontaneous action, the look of surprise never faded from her face. When did the sisters-in-law in the compound become so easy to talk to?
When Lin Qingqing came over with the roster, she smiled and said, "Qingqing, you're here."
Lin Qingqing also smiled and greeted her, then looked at the long human-shaped dragon and said, "Sister-in-law, when your name is called, please come forward to get the area code for your military unit."
Two days ago, the troops found soldiers, marked off areas on the mountain, and painted numbers on the trees at the foot of the mountain with white putty.
After Lin Qingqing finished speaking, she nodded to Aunt Wang, then opened the roster and began calling out names.
"Zheng Xuanli."
A tall, thin sister-in-law came trotting forward.
Aunt Wang handed over the number plate in her hand, and Lin Qingqing wrote down the number one after her name.
After more than a dozen sisters-in-law had collected their numbers, it was already past four o'clock. Aunt Wang had to go back to the army to work, and Lin Qingqing also took the list back to her own yard.
The sisters-in-law happily went home to cook, holding their number plates. They had to go to bed early tomorrow and keep their spirits up so that they could work hard the next day.
They now walk through the military compound with their heads held high. When they first signed up, there were nearly ninety sisters-in-law, but they were the only ones who passed.
What did you say?
They say they are better than those who failed!
It means they are recognized.
Chief's Office
The phone rang again. It was a call from City S. The chief hurriedly picked up the phone.
His brows were furrowed, not at all as gentle as when he was smiling and talking to Lin Qingqing this morning. Instead, his face was filled with anger. "Hey."
The voice on the other end of the phone was gentle, but it did not ease the chief's gloomy expression at all.
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, he tapped the table with his index finger and called the office of the Chief of Staff of Kyoto.
