Lin Yuxi sat in the courtyard basking in the sun, like a lazy cat, with a blanket draped over her. This kind of life was perfect for her; she didn't need to move, she could just lie down.
Meanwhile, He Cuiping was busy in her small courtyard, carefully tending to the vegetable garden, and occasionally chatting with Lin Yuxi.
At this moment, Gu Chen, who was on his way to training, was thinking about Lin's mother. The journey from Qinghe Village to Shanghai was long and required a transfer.
So he specially wired money home and used his connections to buy two sleeper tickets for Jiang Shufen, and then made a special phone call home.
When he returned, he happened to run into Political Commissar Wang. As the two returned to the family compound together, they overheard some rumors that had been circulating in the activity room the day before.
"Guo Shuwen has gone too far, actually saying that Political Commissar Wang's wife is a peasant."
"Isn't that right? Zou Lengyan is even chiming in from the sidelines, does she really think she's some big leader?"
"She just looks down on us country folk. Her group was arrogant and they eventually drove us away with their insults."
"I wonder if Political Commissar Wang's wife told him about this when she got back. If I were her, I would definitely complain to my husband. We finally managed to bring the child to the family compound to live with the military, and we were still being scolded by people."
Unexpectedly, the "Political Commissar Wang" they were talking about was like a ghost, standing behind them eavesdropping.
Gu Chen stopped as if by telepathy. He knew that the political commissar surnamed Wang in the army was standing next to him at this moment. Moreover, his wife had also gone to the activity room yesterday. No wonder she came back so early. It turned out that she had been bullied.
The women sat on the bench, continuing to chatter and criticize what had happened yesterday.
"Guo Shuwen was about to hit someone when he couldn't win the argument, but he was stopped by Commander Gu's wife. Otherwise, that slap would have landed on Political Commissar Wang's wife's face."
"Why did Guo Shuwen hit someone? Her husband is just a battalion commander. What ability does he have to trample on Political Commissar Wang's wife?"
"It's just that they think they're superior, isn't it? They think they're city people and that we country folk are easy to bully. They even said that Political Commissar Wang's wife is illiterate. And that's what happened, isn't it?"
"That Zou Lengyan is no good either; all she does is try to smooth things over among the sisters-in-law."
Political Commissar Wang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and blasted cold air from his body. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he asked Gu Chen through gritted teeth, "Are we leaving or not?"
Without waiting for Gu Chen's reply, he headed straight home.
No wonder He Cuiping started crying as soon as she came back yesterday. If it were him, he would have slapped her twice.
What stupid things did he do yesterday? His wife was almost beaten up and bullied. Did he think he could get away with it by giving her twenty yuan?
He Cuiping must be feeling incredibly sad.
"I deserve to die! My mouth!" Political Commissar Wang raised his hand and slapped himself on the side of his mouth, but he slapped himself too hard and hit his face, wincing in pain.
Gu Chen was also behind them, and his face darkened as he listened to their conversation.
Since you've bullied his wife, don't blame him for making things difficult for you.
