Chapter 35 Lu Chiyu takes care of He Manman, and Brigadier General Qin arrives
Hearing He Manman's arrogant threat, Lu Chiyu sneered: "But I don't feel the slightest sincerity in your apology. If you are here with some mission or purpose, then you can leave now."
When He Manman saw that Lu Chiyu had directly exposed the purpose of her trip, her face changed drastically.
If people knew that she was not sincere in her apology, then not only would her apology be meaningless, but it would also make the people above her even more dissatisfied with her and her husband.
She was about to explain, but Qian Fanghua from across the street came over and said, "That's right, Xiao He, if you're not really here to apologize, then you can leave.
We're not fools. We all know what you meant by what you said yesterday. There's no need to evade the question. If you want to gain the forgiveness of Sister Gu and the others, you must show your sincerity."
Qian Fanghua's words were very sharp, and she didn't give He Manman any face at all.
Several military wives not far away also nodded.
Lu Chiyu is already very difficult to deal with, and now Qian Fanghua comes along. He Manman almost vomits blood.
Lu Chiyu also looked at Qian Fanghua with some surprise. He didn't expect that the other party would offend He Manman to this extent for the sake of them.
Meeting her gaze, Qian Fanghua smiled and nodded at her.
At this moment, Lu Chiyu understood that she could generously stand up for Gu Yuan today. Of course, this was what she had originally planned!
He Manman was torn between her conscience and her desires. Under the scorching gazes of the crowd, she wanted to turn around and leave, but when she thought of her husband's permanent job, her feet were nailed to the spot.
"Comrade He Manman, everyone's time is precious. If you don't have anything to say, I'll close the door." Lu Chiyu said as he pretended to close the door.
As expected, when she saw her close the door, He Manman immediately held the door with her hand: "Wait a minute!"
Lu Chiyu raised his eyebrows: "Then if you have to fart, do it quickly."
He Manman: ...
But in the end, under Lu Chiyu's gaze of "If you don't tell me, I will really close the door", He Manman finally got the upper hand and gritted her teeth and said:
"Comrade Lu Chiyu, I'm sorry. What I said yesterday was because I wasn't ideologically aware enough. Comrade Gu Yuan was injured in the line of duty. I shouldn't have mocked him for this, nor should I have mocked you for marrying him. I'm sorry!"
Hearing that He Manman finally didn't dare to smuggle anything in, Lu Chiyu finally felt a little satisfied.
If He Manman had offended her, she wouldn't have been so angry, but since she insulted her soldier brother, the matter wouldn't be so easily resolved.
She has always been protective of her shortcomings!
So she said seriously: "You finally said something that should be said. Remember that the reason why we can enjoy a peaceful life in the rear is because there are countless soldiers carrying the burden for us in the front.
It is because of the soldiers of the South Island Military Region like Comrade Gu Yuan who guard the southern gate of our motherland that we can live a peaceful life here.
Guarding the border is not an easy task. They have to fight with the enemy with their wits and courage and risk their lives. Therefore, we cannot help them bear this mission of guarding with their lives, nor should we laugh at them behind their backs for the diseases they suffer from while guarding.
The injuries they suffered and the flaws they bear from battle are their medals of honor, not a reason for us to laugh at them, Comrade He Manman, do you understand?"
Before He Manman could say anything, cheers came from afar: "Good! Comrade Xiao Lu said it well. He is worthy of being Xiao Gu's choice of revolutionary partner. His ideological awareness is very high.
Only military wives who understand the difficulties faced by soldiers on the front line can help our soldiers guard the land beneath their feet without any worries.
Comrade He Manman, do you understand?"
Everyone looked towards the voice and found that the person speaking was Brigade Commander Qin, with Gu Yuan and a guard standing behind him.
Among them, Gu Yuan was pushing a bicycle with two huge sacks tied to the back seat, and the guard was also holding one in his hand. No one noticed that Gu Yuan's eyes were full of heat when he heard Lu Chiyu's words just now.
Seeing that not only Gu Yuan had returned, but also her husband's superior, Brigade Commander Qin, had come, Brigade Commander Qin even asked her if she understood. In an instant, He Manman's face turned completely pale.
She came to apologize after hearing from her husband that Gu Yuan went out to the duty room to pick up the express delivery from Kyoto. She did this because she wanted to fool and plot against Lu Chiyu, a little girl who was the only one at home.
I didn't expect Lu Chiyu to be more shrewd and difficult to deal with than I imagined. Not only has this delay attracted Gu Yuan and even Brigade Commander Qin. What is going on?
At this moment, He Manman wished there was a crack in the ground so she could jump down and hide.
But since Commander Qin had already asked her the question, she didn't dare not answer, so she could only bite the bullet and nod, "I understand."
Thinking about how embarrassed he was today, he took out the money from his pocket and handed it to Lu Chiyu:
"Comrade Lu Chiyu, this is five hundred yuan. Lao Zhang and I agreed last night to give it to you and Captain Gu as compensation. You can use it to renovate the old house here. Please accept it and we will shake hands and make peace from now on. What do you say?"
"Then I'll accept it. After all, this is Deputy Commander Zhang's sincere attempt to make peace with my Gu Yuan. If I don't accept it, I'll be letting Deputy Commander Zhang down and affecting their comradeship.
So, in order not to disappoint Deputy Regimental Commander Zhang's friendship and affect their comradeship, I have to accept this money even if it's embarrassing. Comrade He Manman, don't you agree?"
He Manman: ...
She never expected that Lu Chiyu would dare to accept such a huge sum of money, and even said that not taking it would be a betrayal of her husband's friendship and would affect his comradeship with Gu Yuan.
This was clearly a case of taking advantage of someone, but she couldn't refute it.
And with Brigadier General Qin right next to them, He Manman didn't dare to do anything else.
So he could only laugh dryly: "Yes, Comrade Lu Chiyu, you are right. In this way, our two families will meet each other in the future and forget their grudges with a smile."
He Manman wanted to put it more nicely, but the heartache of losing the huge sum of 500 yuan made it impossible for her to organize her words.
The onlookers obviously didn't expect Lu Chiyu to accept the money, but after they were surprised, they found the reason she gave very reasonable.
Brigade Commander Qin nodded and said, "That's right. Xiao Lu and Xiao Gu can take the money and use it to repair your house. This can be regarded as compensation from Zhang Feng and He Manman.
Comrade He Manman, please remember the lesson this time. As a child born in a military family, you should understand the difficulties of soldiers. You must be careful with your words in the future.
As the saying goes, harsh words can hurt like a cold summer day, and hurtful words are like swords. As military families, you shouldn't use words to hurt soldiers, understand?"
He Manman lost all her money and had to endure a lecture from Brigade Commander Qin. She almost gritted her teeth, but in the end she could only smile and agree with Lu Chiyu... What a shame and humiliation!
Fortunately, when she looked into Lu Chiyu and the others' yard, she found that it was full of mud and the house was made of broken stones. It was incomparable to the new residential building where she lived. She felt a little better.
Consider this money as alms to the peasants!
After He Manman left, Gu Yuan invited Brigade Commander Qin into the house, but Brigade Commander Qin refused.
"I won't go in. I came here today just to take a look at the old family compound. After that, I have to go back and review the documents."
Brigade Commander Qin turned to leave, but then he remembered what happened tonight and reminded them, "By the way, Xiao Gu, you and your wife, remember to be in the cafeteria on time this afternoon, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan put his feet together and saluted Brigade Commander Qin. "Got it, Brigade Commander Qin."
"Yuanyuan, why did Brigade Commander Qin ask us to go to the cafeteria this afternoon?" After returning to the house, Lu Chiyu finally couldn't help but ask Gu Yuan curiously.
