Chapter 196 Han Suijing is angry
With a high-ranking official like Han Suijing present, how could Su Hong dare to ridicule her?
The smile on Su Hong's face froze slightly. She glanced at Han Suijing secretly and then said affectionately, "Sister, you are a capable woman and you are flexible in your work. During the years when Deputy Colonel Zhai was in the army, you, a young woman, stayed at home to take care of the children. Your life was very tight. Deputy Colonel Zhai knew it. Fortunately, you are following him to the army now."
Han Suijing: “…”
I can’t say that my mood is that bad, but it’s definitely not getting better.
I guessed that she lived a miserable life in a rural family, but I didn't expect that her family didn't even have money to buy a few bowls.
If a family lives poorly, it has a lot to do with the man in the family!
Han Suijing tried hard to suppress his emotions. Everyone's attention was focused on Wang Ziru, forcing him to look at her profile.
At this time, she smiled.
Han Suijing shook his head slightly, speechless, thinking to himself: "What a heartless little thing!"
Zhai Ximo felt completely humiliated.
They happily went to the fifth floor to have a meal, and his woman's mouth was unrestrained, ruthlessly revealing the poor side of the Zhai family.
The woman had embarrassed him, and he wanted to lose his temper, but the officers and their families of the army were watching, so he was a little hesitant to act rashly.
All the officials present had surprised expressions, looking at Zhai Ximo and then at Wang Ziru.
But after all, most of the cadres were born in rural areas and brought their families to the army. Every household spent their monthly wages cleanly and lived a tight life.
In such a large family compound, only Xu Changhe's family bought a 9-inch black-and-white TV, while the other cadres' homes only had high-end items such as radios.
Therefore, these small cadres could only say that they could barely get by and had no right to make fun of Deputy Colonel Zhai.
However, the officers' eyes glanced intentionally or unintentionally in the direction of Han Suijing, the new acting commander of the Ninth Division.
But he found that Han Suijing stared blankly at the woman's table...
"Come on! Don't stop, let's finish these two bottles." Wen Yuan lifted up the mini enamel pot, his cheeks turned a little red from drinking, and he smiled to break the awkward atmosphere between the two tables.
The men's table was again very enthusiastic. They ate and talked about the big and small things in the army.
The atmosphere seems to be quite harmonious.
At that time, the main playground of the 9th Division was extremely lively.
The day before, Han Suijing ordered the army's projectionist to go to the Ninth Division and show movies to everyone for three consecutive days.
The projectionist came to the Ninth Division with several selected film reels and, with the assistance of the regiment's clerical staff, set up a white movie screen on the large playground.
Baoer and his uncle helped with farm work for a day and stayed at Cheng's house for dinner before returning to the army.
When an adult and a child walked into the military gate, they saw many soldiers gathered in the playground.
"Uncle, there are so many children on the playground." Baoer sat in his uncle's arms and saw from a distance the children in the family compound running and playing wildly on the playground.
Zhai Qingsong and Cheng Xueru spent the whole day together and were in a very good mood.
When I asked, I heard that movies would be shown on the playground after dark.
"Uncle, let's go home quickly and get some stools! Mom may not know that the army is going to show a movie today." The little guy clapped his hands excitedly.
Zhai Qingsong smiled and said, "Your father has already gone home from get off work at this time, how come he didn't know that a movie was going to be shown?"
The two returned to the family compound and found the door of the Zhai family was locked.
"Isn't my mother at home?" The young man saw the padlock on the door, frowned, and turned to look at the aunt who lived next door to them, "Aunt Zhao, do you know where my mother went?"
Zhao Cuilan was standing in the corridor outside her house, cooking. She had no enthusiasm on her face and said in a gloomy tone, "Your parents are having dinner at the home of Teacher Wen on the fifth floor. Why didn't they invite you and your uncle?"
Is there anyone who wants to invite my third brother and his wife to dinner?
Zhai Qingsong's expression paused slightly, and he understood why his brother and sister-in-law were not at home.
Baoer's clear eyes were also startled, and he looked at his uncle hurriedly. After all, he grew up in the village and was very good at reading people's facial expressions.
The answer was decent: "Uncle, we have already eaten, there is no need to look for Dad and the others, let's quickly get a bench and go to the playground to watch the movie."
Zhai Qingsong smiled and nodded, then put the kid down, took out a key from his belt, opened the door and went into the house.
After taking out two folding pony horses, Zhao Cuilan saw Zhuang Jiahan holding a beautifully crafted folding pony in his hand and looked at him with jealous eyes, "You brought pony horses from your hometown?"
"Um."
Zhuang Jiahan locked the door and nodded slightly.
After locking the door, Zhuang Jiahan, holding Baoer in one hand and two handmade ponies in the other, went downstairs to the playground to wait for the movie.
The Wen family on the fifth floor was filled with laughter.
A military wife came out to serve soup on the stove and saw Zhai Qingsong leading the child downstairs. She brought the soup bowl back into the house and deliberately said in front of Zhai Ximo, "It seems that your eldest brother took the child to the playground to watch a movie. I don't know if they have eaten dinner."
Su Hong looked at the woman who was gnawing on pork ribs with complicated eyes.
I feel extremely annoyed.
Like Lin Xiaowan, she thought they were invited up for a real meal, so she really ate with her mouth wide open. She watched as the two women almost finished the steamed spareribs in the enamel plate, while her daughter hadn't even had two pieces.
Wang Ziru knew that these military wives had bad intentions and were jealous of the Zhai family for entertaining Commander Duan and Han Suijing yesterday.
After she finished eating a few ribs, she looked up at the military wife and said, "My eldest brother and his children had dinner in Li Village."
"They went to Li Village...Cheng Xueru's house?"
"Yes!" Wang Ziru showed a cheerful smile on her face, "Miss Xueru has a good personality and likes our Baoer, so she is willing to treat them to a meal."
Zhu Yan thought that Wang Ziru would take the opportunity to announce the marriage between Zhai Qingsong and the Cheng family.
It turned out that she had no intention of telling everyone in the Wen family about this happy event.
"Hey, sister-in-law, your Miss Yiting has graduated from college. Does she have a partner?" Wang Ziru glanced at Wen Yiting lazily and deliberately asked Su Hong in public.
Su Hong smiled awkwardly, "Not yet."
Before she finished her words, an official at the table next to her started laughing and said, "Yiting grew up under our care. She is a college student, well-educated, and good-looking. She will definitely marry a high-ranking official like the chief in the future."
“Ahem…”
Several other officers were immediately shocked by these words.
Wen Yuan smiled at everyone, and under the influence of alcohol, he looked directly at Han Suijing, "I wonder if the chief has talked to someone?"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little complicated.
Su Hong stared at the military wife and the men at the next table without blinking, wanting to see how Han Suijing would react.
But I heard Han Suijing say in a deep voice: "I don't have a partner."
"Chief, you still haven't found a partner at your age? That's great. Our teacher Wen's family has such a beautiful and outstanding girl named Yiting, who is very suitable for you." Someone boldly tried to match Wen Yiting and Han Suijing.
Han Suijing raised his eyes and glanced at the officer who said this. He did not look at Wen Yiting and said in a very cold tone, "I don't plan to find a partner in the army."
Wenyuan: “…”
Su Hong, who had been looking forward to having Han Suijing as her son-in-law, saw the light in her eyes dim.
Before she met the new leader Han Suijing, she had never thought about finding a leader as her son-in-law.
But now that she had met the noble and majestic leader who was like a dragon and phoenix among men, Su Hong was extremely happy to have a son-in-law like Han Suijing.
I wish I could marry my daughter off that same day.
Wen Yiting didn't say much and just ate her meal quietly with her bowl in her hands.
Seeing this, she didn't care at all and smiled softly, "You don't have to worry about my personal problems. In fact, I already have someone I like. I will tell everyone when the opportunity is ripe."
"Hey! Yiting, do you have someone you like? Is he an officer in our army?"
"Yiting is a beautiful and educated girl. The man she likes is definitely not an ordinary cadre."
Several officers had probably drunk a lot of wine, and at the dinner table they displayed their Sherlock Holmes detective skills, and without hiding the fact that the new chief was present, they began their investigation.
Wang Ziru curled her lips sarcastically and stopped eating. "Sister-in-law, look at how interesting your daughter is. She's still keeping us hanging."
"Yiting is young and doesn't know how to control her words. Don't listen to her random lies." Su Hong tried to smooth things over.
"How can you just make it up? Wen Yiting came to see me on the third floor at noon, and when we were chatting, she specifically mentioned the man she liked. How come you and Teacher Wen don't know about it?"
Su Hong didn't expect Wang Ziru to be so aggressive.
She naturally knew that her daughter liked Zhai Ximo. In the past few years, every time she came back from the university in Kunming District during the holidays, the first thing she would do was to look for Zhai Ximo.
The couple had originally been extremely opposed to their daughter liking Zhai Ximo, but as luck would have it, Zhai Ximo had also been attending a military academy in Kun District for the past three years, not far from Wen Yiting's school, and the two seemed to meet often on weekends.
After a while, the couple found it too far away to do anything about it, so they tacitly agreed for the two to meet in private.
But how could such a thing be exposed on an occasion like today?
The wives of soldiers and officers in the family compound all knew that Zhai Ximo was not divorced yet, and they only found out that there was a child at home when they went home to visit their relatives.
I want to file for a divorce, but considering that I have a child, I can't bring myself to talk about divorce.
Su Hong tried her best to hide her panic and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you just moved into our compound, so you don't know yet. Some people in our compound like to gossip behind our backs. If you hear some weird talk, don't pay attention to them."
"Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense, but I heard it from Miss Wen Yiting herself, not from anyone else."
“…Don’t believe it! Sister-in-law, there are ribs here. I see you like to chew on ribs, so eat a few more.” No matter how much Su Hong wanted to be famous, she would not let Han Suijing, the new leader, know that the girl from the Wen family was secretly involved with a married cadre at this juncture.
As he said this, he simply moved the enamel plate with a few remaining ribs in front of Wang Ziru.
Wang Ziru would never let go of such a good opportunity to deal with Wen Yiting, and immediately said with a smile: "Wen Yiting said that everyone in the family compound knows about it, but because the man is a cadre of our army and he has a family, so sister-in-law, you and Teacher Wen..."
"Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? Our Tingting is a clean woman. She has such good conditions, why would she like a cadre with a family?" Su Hong immediately turned hostile.
Commander Wen also turned around in surprise and looked at the women. "Sister-in-law, you can't say such things. Our army is not a rural area. We must have evidence for everything."
The temperature in the room dropped to freezing point instantly.
Han Suijing vaguely sensed what Wang Ziru meant by that. With anger in his eyes, he suddenly looked at Wen Yuan and said, "Is your daughter entangled with the officers in the army? Don't you know that you will go to jail for destroying a military marriage?"
