Ren Rongzheng really didn't like seeing Jiang Shufen like this, because she wasn't sure whether she was sincere or just being hypocritical because she had to live under someone else's roof?
"If you want to go, then go ahead. Didn't you say before that you wanted to apologize to the military wives you offended? When you were the regimental commander's wife, you took advantage of your status to bully others, and you certainly didn't just bully me and my elder sister.
I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone you've offended. Of course, whether they accept it or not is not my decision. If you can't afford to lose face, then you don't have to go. The choice is yours."
What she meant was that if he went, she would apologize to the military wives she had offended and bullied in front of everyone.
If it were in the past, she would never go even if she was beaten to death, but now Zhang Lai Fu is fighting outside and no one knows how long he will take to come back, leaving them, an orphan and a widow, at home.
Originally, others respected her because of her husband, but now in this chaotic war, no one respects anyone anymore. What if something unexpected happens? It would be hard for them, mother and son, to live in this military compound, so...
"I'll go and apologize to all the military wives I bullied one by one. I'll apologize to them in front of everyone. Is that enough sincerity?"
"good."
Jiang Shufen didn't say anything else and turned around and walked out. This was what Zhang Lai Fu told her to do. She couldn't let her man fight outside and feel uneasy. It would be a shame if he lost face.
So at five o'clock in the afternoon, the military wives came to the Peace Hotel one after another. Ren Rongzheng had already entrusted Wang Yuxia to book the entire hotel for the day.
The owner of this restaurant is also very generous. When he heard that all the guests here today were military wives and their husbands were fighting on the battlefield, he specially gave them a 50% discount.
All the waiters, including the boss, serve us very well. We respect them very much and even feel grateful to them.
This kind of atmosphere also makes them feel very warm. In times of war, all people in Country A must unite and face the outside world together.
"Even the restaurant owner was extra caring today. Everyone is looking forward to victory in this war. As family members, we believe more than anyone else that this war will be won!"
After Ren Rongzheng finished speaking, he picked up a cup of tea and continued, "Let's use tea instead of wine. Let's drink this cup first and wish for a speedy victory and a swift triumphant return for our men!"
After Ren Rongzheng finished speaking, he drank it. The other military wives also responded and drank it. Then they sat down to eat.
While eating, Jiang Shufen slowly stood up and said, "Dear sisters, I want to say a few words."
Hearing that she was about to speak, everyone looked at her.
"Before, I was a bit of a gossipmonger and made many sisters unhappy. I would like to apologize to these sisters. Now that our men have gone to the battlefield, we women are not having a good time either.
Now I cry every day at home, and I can’t help crying even more when I see my child. I’m afraid that the child has lost his father..."
Jiang Shufen couldn't help but start crying when she said this. The mood that had been slightly better was made to cry again by her.
"As everyone knows, I'm used to being the wife of a leader. I used to care about face, but now I don't care about face anymore. I'm going to apologize to you in front of everyone.
I hope that before our men come back, we can take care of each other and help each other. I, Jiang Shufen, also promise that if there are sisters who need help, I will definitely do my best to help. I hope everyone can forgive me.
I reflect on the bad things I did before, and I will never do those things again. I will be a good person, and I hope everyone can accept that."
After Jiang Shufen finished speaking, she bowed to everyone. In this kind of environment, everyone was worried about the war and had no time to care about family matters.
"Okay, Sister Jiang, we've lived next to each other for so many years, and there's no big grudge between us. There's no need to make it so serious."
"Yes, we should take care of each other. The more wartime it is, the more we need to unite."
"right."
Because everyone resonated with what Jiang Shufen said, no one could predict the outcome of the war, and no one could predict the outcome of their own man.
It is almost impossible for one side to emerge unscathed from a war, and no one can be sure which of the women present will become a widow.
If that day really comes, we will all need the help of our neighbors, so no one said anything harsh and everyone accepted Jiang Shufen's apology.
"What everyone said just now is right. Especially at this time, we must unite more. Many of the sisters here work in my garment processing factory.
I know that no one is in the mood to work, but worrying about all sorts of things at home will only make your mood worse. It’s better to make your life more fulfilling.
The more you work and the better your sales are, the more you will earn. When you earn more, you will be more motivated to work. This will be a virtuous circle. The factory will make money, and we will also pay taxes to the country.
In the future, if our clothes are sold all over the world, we will earn money from foreigners, and then pay taxes to fill our own country's treasury. This is also a way to strengthen our country.
Men are working hard outside, and we women have to guard the rear. I hope everyone can cheer up and return to the factory to work with peace of mind starting tomorrow.
Of course, if you really can't calm down and can't continue, you can tell me. I will never force you, because in this situation, it is very easy for safety accidents to occur on the production line, which is not recommended.
If you can guarantee that you can devote yourself to your work, please return to your job tomorrow. Please."
After Ren Rongzheng finished speaking, she also bowed to everyone. After all, she was a pregnant woman with a big belly, and when she bowed like this, everyone stood up.
"Director Ren, please don't be like this. We'll listen to you. I'll go to work at the factory tomorrow. I'll concentrate on my work and make money, and then wait for my man to come back!"
"Me too. I can't just stay at home and cry all day. Crying won't bring a man back. We all have to cheer up!"
This kind of emotion slowly infected everyone. Ren Rongzheng couldn't help crying when he saw this scene. The warmth and strength of the world were embodied at this moment.
No matter how good the relationship was before, even if they were strangers, because they were from the same country, they had a common and intimate sense of sharing life and death.
"Then everyone, enjoy your meal today. Eat as much as you want. Only when you are full will you have the energy to work. Don't save money for me."
