Chapter 121: Being sold and helping others lose money
By the time Qian Mingfang and the others found out, they were all saying that they had problems with the newcomer Zheng Meilan.
These family members are all shrewd people. After all, Qian Mingfang and Shen Jintao's identities are there. Even if they think that they are bullying others by taking advantage of their power, they will not really say it out loud. Not only that, they will also quietly keep their distance from Zhao Meilan.
Zhao Meilan herself didn’t think much about it. She really felt aggrieved. After returning home, she told her husband about this matter, and her husband was almost angry to death.
"What are you thinking about? Do you think that if you say that, others will stand up for you? Who is Sister Qian, and who is Sister Shen?"
"If you continue like this, I'm afraid those military wives won't dare to get too close to you. You..."
Gu Yuan was a little speechless about his wife. He was about to face a promotion, but he was not sure he would get it. This time he had a very strong opponent, Gao Wu.
Gao Wu is a few years younger than him, but his military service is not much shorter than his.
Normally, if nothing unexpected happens, the promotion opportunity would first consider people like him with longer military service, but military service is not a big advantage. Gao Wu's achievements in the past two years are much more impressive than his. Although they are both company commanders, there is a clear gap in the quality of the soldiers under their command, and Gao Wu's is obviously much better.
He also thought that his wife was about the same age as Mrs. Shen, so she should be able to talk to her. Besides, Mrs. Shen and the captain's wife, Mrs. Qian, were inseparable. If his wife could become good friends with them, she could also speak for him. Who knew that she would offend people on the first day and was still talking nonsense outside. It's true that she has no brains except for her good looks.
But they are both wives from the countryside, and they are both pretty, so why is Ren Shen's wife so amazing?
"Ah? What do you mean?" Zheng Meilan really didn't understand.
Gu Yuan: ...
"Don't you think about the fact that most of the soldiers in our compound are under the command of the regiment commander and the deputy regiment commander? You're still saying outside that they don't like you. What's wrong? Are you afraid that others will know that you have a bad relationship with those two? I'm really impressed. I thought your coming here would help me get promoted to deputy battalion commander, but it seems like it's just a waste of time."
He wasn't very eager to be promoted, but he still wanted to try his best. If he couldn't move up, his life might end here. After all, he was much older than Gao Wu and others, and he didn't want to face the risk of changing careers as soon as he reached the age limit.
His young wife is several years younger than him, so he is very good to her. He basically spoils her after marriage and never lets her work in the fields. It seems that she has been spoiled by others, but it doesn't matter.
"Then...what should we do?" Zheng Meilan was about to cry.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Gu Yuan sighed, but still reached out and touched Zheng Meilan's head, "If I can't get promoted, then I can't get promoted. At worst, I will retire when I get older. Although the treatment is definitely not as good as in the army, it is also stable, and I have a stable job. It's also good to live with you."
Zheng Meilan was touched, and finally began to think about her own problems. "Brother Yuan, did I really do something wrong? I... I was too purposeful, and I was anxious to build a good relationship with them, but I didn't expect them not to appreciate it. I... I felt a little wronged, and I didn't mean to say those things outside. Is it too late for me to go out and explain now?"
Gu Yuan: ...
"It's probably too late..."
“Wow…what should I do…Brother Yuan, I screwed up again…”
"It's okay, but I did want to ask you something. Didn't I ask you to send some dried meat from our place to the sisters-in-law? Why did you take the salted fish? We are by the sea anyway, so we don't need dried fish."
Gu Yuan was a little confused. He had clearly hunted a lot of prey before coming here this time, and asked his family to make it into dried meat. He also specifically told his wife to give some to his sisters-in-law. How come it turned into dried salted fish in the end? Think about the taste of dried salted fish. Deputy Captain Huo’s wife was pregnant, so it was normal for her to reject it.
"That..." Zheng Meilan tugged at the hem of her clothes. "I was going to give it to you, but I met an aunt on the way there. She said her daughter-in-law was in poor health, her family was having a hard time, and she had five granddaughters who hadn't eaten meat for a long, long time. So I borrowed it from you. I also thought that Sister Qian's family must be having a better life, so I..."
Gu Yuan: ...
"Are you talking about the aunt of Deputy Company Commander Zhang?"
He really wanted to spit out blood. Although he had just applied for the house, he had also heard about the things happening in Deputy Company Commander Zhang's family. His mother was unreasonable, and nothing that came into her hands could be returned. It was really easy to deceive his own wife.
"Well, it seems so." No matter how stupid Zheng Meilan was, she could tell that there was something wrong with her man's expression.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Yuan sighed, "You really are...sooner or later you will be sold out and have to help them count the money. Come on, I'll take you to their house to get it back!"
“Isn’t this a bit bad?”
Zheng Meilan was a little hesitant. After all, it was something she had lent out, and it didn't seem appropriate to ask for it back before the day was over.
"You... she is just bullying you because you are new here and don't know her family's situation. Our meat is not blown by the wind. It's better to throw it away and feed it to dogs than to give it to someone like that. I tell you, that person is not kind to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Her daughter-in-law had a miscarriage because of her. Even if you give these things to her, she won't give them to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter."
Gu Yuan didn't know what to say about his wife. She was so stupid that he felt helpless.
Zheng Meilan's eyes widened. "Is there such a person?"
"What else?"
Gu Yuan was helpless.
"You have to go and come back!" Zheng Meilan looked angry.
"Let's go!"
The two went straight to Wang Cuihua's house. Wang Cuihua was secretly happy that she had found another big enemy today.
I didn't expect that the big enemy would come to my door.
"What's the matter?" Wang Cuihua looked at the two people with unhappy expressions, and her heart skipped a beat. Could they be here to ask for something?
She actually guessed it right.
"Auntie, you are too much! You actually cheated me out of my things. You really took advantage of me because I'm new here and I don't know who you are! I'm from the countryside, I don't have as many tricks as you, you better return the things to me right now!"
Zheng Meilan is really a simple person. She says whatever she thinks and is not afraid of offending others.
The people in the family compound were originally idle at this time, and when they heard the noise, they all came out to watch the fun. Chen Jintao and Qian Mingfang were no exception.
