Chapter 122: Coming Back
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I cheat you of anything? I told you it was borrowed, and it's only been a day. How could you come to ask for it? How could there be someone like you?" Wang Cuihua bit back.
"You told me you were going to give it back to my daughter-in-law and five granddaughters. You're really taking advantage of me because I don't know the truth. Return it to me now, or I'll sue you!"
Zheng Meilan also fought hard.
Wang Cuihua wanted to say something, and Gu Yuan also spoke. He was not the kind of person who would let his wife take the lead in everything.
"Aunt, let's talk about reason now and don't get angry. Otherwise, I will have to talk to your son."
Wang Cuihua was so angry that she thought she had met a big enemy, but she didn't expect the other party to react so quickly. But how could she return the things in her hands so easily? She was used to taking advantage of others and was basically a piece of meat to be cut into pieces.
"It doesn't matter who you go to find me. I've already eaten the meat. There are so many people in my family. If everyone has a bite, there's no point in asking the commander to come!"
This is preparation for cheating.
Chen Jintao and Qian Mingfang looked at each other and found it interesting.
"It seems that Zheng Meilan is not completely brainless. But when did she let the old woman Wang Cuihua take advantage of her? Isn't this just her first day here? She's also a great person!"
I was targeted on my first day here. Does this woman look so gullible?
"I can only say that Wang Cuihua is shameless, but since she came here, she must have made up her mind."
Gu Yuan sneered, "Aunt, my wife is on her first day with the army today, and you're trying to cheat her out of something. Have you forgotten that your son was talked to by the leaders several times before? If I had a mother like you, I would have quit the army long ago. After all, you're such a drag. It seems like you really don't want your son to stay in the army. There's nothing more to say. I'll report this to the leaders right away."
“Wait… wait a minute!”
Deputy Captain Zhang walked out of the room and called to Gu Yuan anxiously, "Captain Gu, I'm sorry, I didn't know there was such a thing. Just... just don't bear grudges. I'll return the things right away."
"Son, what are you saying?" Wang Cuihua was anxious. There was so much meat, and he was just going to give it back like that? She felt her heart was bleeding.
"Mom, stop talking!"
Deputy Company Commander Zhang actually knew from the beginning that someone had come to his door, but he habitually chose to ignore it. He didn't expect the other party to be so tough. There was nothing he could do. If he continued like this, he would have to leave the family compound or even leave the army.
Chen Jintao frowned as she looked at Deputy Company Commander Zhang who came out of the house. Others had heard the noise, but he came out only now, which only meant that he didn't intend to take care of it at first. This guy... is not very capable...
It is simply a smear on the military. Most of the military comrades of this era, or even 99 percent of them, do not like to take advantage of others, because the education they received after joining the army is that they should not take even a single needle or thread from others, no matter if they are ordinary people or their comrades. Deputy Company Commander Zhang's behavior is actually quite shameful.
Noticing the looks from the people around him, Deputy Company Commander Zhang also felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't know my mother would be like this, I..."
Before Deputy Company Commander Zhang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qian Mingfang, "Xiao Zhang, do you really not know? For so long, your sister-in-law has kept silent because she thinks that you, as a grown man, need to save face. But your mother is taking advantage of you everywhere, and it's not like no one wants to talk to you, right? If you really can't handle this, just send your mother away, otherwise we can't stand it anymore."
In the past, I thought that Deputy Company Commander Zhang was a man after all, and that it would be easy to hurt his face if I said it too clearly. However, Deputy Company Commander Zhang's behavior clearly showed that he knew what kind of person his mother was, and he was just playing both sides as a vested interest.
"I..." Deputy Company Commander Zhang's face looked very ugly. He felt a little resentful towards Qian Mingfang for not giving him face, but he also knew that what the other party said was true.
Someone started the conversation, and other people in the family compound who had been cheated by Wang Cuihua began to complain.
"That's right. This old lady is such a jerk. Last time, she even snatched my youngest son's candy. My youngest son is only three years old. If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have known what happened. I was wondering why the child always cried for no reason while playing..."
"Not at all. This old lady is really interesting. Today she asks this granddaughter to go to this family to beg for food, and that granddaughter to go to that family. She can feed the whole family by asking for food from different families every day. She always scolds her granddaughters for being money-losing. I don't think so. People can earn their own food at such a young age. Maybe they can even save some from their own food to feed them all..."
"I've encountered something even more outrageous. This old lady took away all the pants I hung in the yard. They were new pants I bought. I just said I would wash them..."
Everyone started talking at once, and Deputy Company Commander Zhang wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
Unexpectedly, his wife Liu Jinping did not stand up to speak for her husband this time. Instead, she stood by with her arms folded and watched the fun, like an outsider.
Wang Cuihua was furious. "Are you a dead person or something? You just watch others say this about your mother-in-law and your man?"
Liu Jinping snorted coldly, turned around and went straight back to her room, with no intention of paying any attention to the old lady.
Wang Cuihua's eyes widened, "This is lawless!"
"Mom! Stop making trouble and take the things out quickly!" Deputy Company Commander Zhang yelled. He could no longer bear the looks from these people.
Wang Cuihua pouted, but still reluctantly found the things. Deputy Company Commander Zhang snatched them away and handed them to Zheng Meilan, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry!"
"Yeah!" Zheng Meilan nodded. She also felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she didn't say much.
After getting the things back, Zheng Meilan felt better. She turned around and walked towards Chen Jintao and Qian Mingfang, mainly looking for Chen Jintao.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm not very good at speaking, and I'm not very smart. I'm sorry for what happened today. I made you uncomfortable. I didn't mean to do it. In fact, I wanted to let you taste this dried meat, but I was tricked by that aunt halfway. I... Hey! I'm sorry, I really don't have a brain when doing things!"
Seeing that she apologized sincerely, Chen Jintao smiled and said, "It's okay. We will live in the same family compound in the future. I won't be really angry with you. In fact, I also ate dried fish when I was not pregnant, but I just can't stand it now. Your kindness is in vain."
