Liu Wenda frowned in confusion. He suddenly realized that they probably didn't know enough about Zhou Chengguang's wife. Liu Wenda looked up into the crowd until he saw Liao Meng. Liao Meng's wife had come with Feng Lichun; he would need to ask him about her later.
By this time, Xu Keke had finished writing, tore off a page, and handed it to Da Cui. "Did you remember it?"
Da Cui nodded and repeated her words. The interaction between the mother and daughter made it impossible to tell that the gentle-spoken woman was the same aggressive woman from just moments before.
“Da Cui, take more. Your father is a terrible person. What if some people have bad memories and refuse to pay tomorrow? Then we’ll all go hungry again.”
Those outside the door all thought in unison, "This is exactly how this woman should be: sharp-tongued, mean-spirited, and always looking for trouble."
Da Cui nodded, indicating that she understood. Then she led Yuanbao and followed the orderly.
"Alright, are you alright now? Give the money to Company Commander Wu."
Judging from Zhou Chengguang's expression, Xu Keke was just feeling unwell; otherwise, she really wanted to slap him twice.
"No need, Battalion Commander, no need." Wu Jingming waved his hands frantically. He should have left earlier. Why was he standing here watching this commotion?
"Why should we give it to her? Just because she saw Da Cui pick it up from the ground, the money is hers. What a coincidence, someone else picked it up, and she just happened to drop it. And you're giving her money? Today she falsely accused your daughter of stealing, and I haven't even asked her for compensation yet. Do you know how important a person's reputation is? Not even an apology..."
Wu Jingming quickly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, please forgive me."
"You make it sound so easy. A simple 'sorry' is all it takes."
Zhou Chengguang glared at him, "Otherwise what? What else do you want? Do you want them to compensate you?"
"You said you'd get compensation, I didn't," Xu Keke rolled her eyes at him.
Wu Jingming, “.......”, I feel like you two are conspiring to frame me, but I have no proof.
“That sister-in-law,” Wu Jingming pulled out several 50,000 yuan bills from his pocket, which was his allowance for the month. “I wouldn’t dare call this compensation, just consider it as buying some food for the child. Consider it my way of apologizing to her as her uncle.”
Xu Keke saw him put the money on the table. Without any hesitation, she reached out and took it.
"What are you doing? Who told you to take their money?" Zhou Chengguang was really anxious. How could he accept Wu Jingming's money? How could he lead troops after this?
"You're really something else. How come you think the money isn't enough? You don't actually want anything from them, do you?"
Zhou Chengguang was speechless and said, "When did I say I wanted their things? Give them back their money."
"How can you still be like this? Yes, a person's reputation is important, but they've already paid you, and you still think it's not enough? How much is enough? Zhou Chengguang, that's enough. He's still your subordinate. Don't go too far."
Zhou Chengguang knew he couldn't reason with her anymore, so he reached out to snatch the money. Unexpectedly, even though Xu Keke was unwell, she was still faster than him. As soon as he moved, Xu Keke put the money into her pants pocket.
Liu Wenda stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Chengguang, and winked at him, "Old Zhou, let's go first."
He then shouted to everyone, "Alright, everyone disperse. You were all brought back to rest this afternoon. Don't linger here."
Liu Wenda gave a signal, and everyone left.
Chen Yufen glared viciously at Xu Keke, then followed Liu Wenda out. She didn't even glance at Wu Jingming and his fat wife.
Wu Jingming's plump wife, who was already fair-skinned, looked even paler now. The slap Wu Jingming delivered was clearly visible, with distinct fingers. It hurt terribly, but she couldn't cry. She should have known better than to flaunt her wealth when Chen Yufen asked who was rich today.
As Wu Jingming dragged his wife away, he even greeted Xu Keke solicitously. A woman who could handle their battalion commander and political commissar was best avoided.
