Aunt Zhao’s incident caused a lot of uproar in the base.
Being kicked out of the base at such an old age sounds miserable.
Zhang Lin is not much better off. He was implicated by his own mother and it is estimated that he will have no hope of getting promoted in the short term.
But he actually doesn't have too many regrets in his heart. It is difficult for him to get promoted in the current team.
Zhang Lin is usually kind to others and has upright character. Although Aunt Zhao violated Liang Su's interests, she did not cause any harm to anyone in essence.
Now he is about to be kicked out of the base, which makes everyone sigh and sympathize.
Qian Qiuxia and Wang Minghua, who had been silent for a while, finally seized the opportunity and wanted to use this incident to clear their reputation.
If they could be magnanimous enough to help Aunt Zhao overcome this difficulty, let her mend her ways, and let Liang Su forgive her, wouldn't their reputation be cleared?
Qian Qiuxia and Wang Minghua discussed it and made an appointment to go find Liang Su, and they tried to persuade him one after another.
"Aunt Zhao is an elderly woman. She wanted her son to be well, so everything she did was understandable."
"Liang Su, please have some sympathy. She is so pitiful. There is a man lying in bed in her hometown."
"Eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating all cost money, and even seeing a doctor costs money, so of course she has to find a way to make money."
"Zhang Lin hasn't married yet. If I get kicked out of the base, who will be willing to marry him in the future?"
Liang Suan listened quietly, letting what he said go in one ear and out the other.
Qian Qiuxia and Wang Minghua talked until they were thirsty, but Liang Su didn't even come to pour them a glass of water, nor did she say a word.
"Liang Su, please give me a definite answer." Qian Qiuxia said.
Liang Su came back to his senses, "What exact words?"
Qian Qiuxia: "...So you didn't listen to all I said? I told you Aunt Zhao is very pitiful, so please let her go."
Liang Su glanced at her indifferently and put his hands in his pockets.
"Aunt Zhao is pitiful, why should I let her go? It's not my fault that she's pitiful, so why should I pay for it? If my money was really stolen, would you feel pity for me?"
Just letting her go back to her hometown without any other punishment, is that pitiful?
This is actually a good thing for Zhang Lin.
Since Aunt Zhao is not here, he doesn't need to be burdened by what his mother does and can concentrate on building his career.
What's so pitiful about it?
"Directors, is there anything else? I'd like to take a nap."
It's drizzling outside. Today is the Lesser Cold, the temperature has dropped, and it's especially good for sleeping.
Liang Su yawned and wanted to get under the quilt immediately.
Qian Qiuxia's expression grew increasingly grim. "Her pity wasn't caused by you, but the reason she left the base now is because of you."
"How is leaving the base a punishment? It's just a transfer from one place to another. Wouldn't she be unhappy about going back to her hometown? Director Qian, or did Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang take the initiative to tell you that he didn't want his mother to leave?"
Qian Qiuxia thought it was ridiculous and couldn't help laughing.
"How could he possibly want his mother to leave?"
"Wait until you have asked before interfering in this matter. Director Qian, although you are the director of the committee, you'd better be careful with your words and actions. After all, the term of office changes every three years, and who knows if it will be you next time." Liang Su gave an implicit warning.
The last time was in 1977. After the Chinese New Year this year, there will be another election.
Qian Qiuxia is good at winning people's hearts, and with Xu Changli's face, everyone is willing to choose her.
Wang Minghua has Qian Qiuxia's back, and they are one.
But after all that has happened, their reputations have been ruined, and it is unclear whether they can still be elected.
Qian Qiuxia's face changed and she looked at her in disbelief.
"Are you threatening me?"
Liang Su was bewildered. "Threat? Was what I just said a threat? I don't think I have the ability to manipulate the election, so how can I threaten you?"
She just wanted to send the person away and then go to sleep.
Qian Qiuxia smiled coldly, without saying another word, she winked at Wang Minghua, and the two walked out.
Wang Minghua looked at her, Qian Qiuxia's jawline tensed.
Very angry.
"Shall we just call it a day?"
I haven't said a few words yet.
Before she came, she had been thinking about using both soft and hard means to make Liang Su give in, and then go out and publicize the good things she and Qian Qiuxia had done.
Qian Qiuxia sneered, "If we don't just let it go, what else can we do? Look at Liang Su's expression. Does he look like he wants to talk nicely?"
If I continue talking, I will just get the cold shoulder.
Wang Minghua lowered his eyes, "Then what should we do next?"
Qian Qiuxia walked out with her back straight, head held high and chest puffed out, without saying a word.
There are always more solutions than problems. Liang Su was unwilling, but she chose to go against Liang Su and find a way to keep Aunt Zhao.
…
Liang Su curled up in bed and slept until three in the afternoon, like a hibernating snake unwilling to leave its nest.
The rain hasn't stopped yet, it's not heavy, but it keeps falling.
The window opened a crack, and she saw Shen Congji's figure coming from outside.
He didn't hold an umbrella, a layer of rain mist floated on his short crew cut, and his steps were big and fast.
"Why are you back so early today?" Liang Su watched him enter the house.
Shen Congji took off his coat and didn't touch her immediately, but waited for his body to warm up.
"It's raining, so let those puppies go back early."
Liang Su said, "Let's have hotpot tonight. Aunt Tian just sent over a chicken."
I still have some coconuts at home, which are perfect as the base for chicken soup.
Eating hotpot is the most comfortable thing in this kind of weather.
"Okay, I'll get it done."
Liang Su finally came out of the quilt and put on cotton slippers.
“Chen Congji, do you think I’m too cruel about Aunt Zhao’s matter?”
After all, she was such an old person, and she didn't even plead for mercy.
"Who said what in front of you?" Shen Congji quickly noticed.
Liang Su pouted, "Director Qian came to see me today."
She didn't need to repeat it, Shen Congji knew what Qian Qiuxia said.
Shen Congji hugged her and whispered, “You are right, you don’t need to listen to her.”
So after eating the hot pot tonight, Shen Congji had to protect his wife again, and went to Xu Changli for a long talk in the rain.
He directly told Qian Qiuxia that it was inappropriate and that he should take care of his own wife, so of course Xu Changli should come.
Xu Changli couldn't stand it any longer. It had been quiet for such a long time, why did they start making trouble again?
"If you keep making trouble, I think you should go back to Coconut City."
He doesn't want to lose his integrity again when he gets older.
"What did I do? Aunt Zhao is old, and you're separating her and her child. How can that be justified? I tried to persuade her kindly, and I wasn't being rude. Can't I just say a few words to her?"
She had just left Liang Su's house when she was reported.
As a result, Qian Qiuxia no longer dared to go to Liang Su's house.
Xu Changli felt a headache. "Anyway, don't get involved in Liang Su's family affairs from now on, and don't get involved with Wang Minghua. Don't you think our family is shameful enough?"
Qian Qiuxia looked dissatisfied, but she did not refute him. Instead, she held a grudge against Liang Su in her heart.
