Chapter 43: Ruining my reputation and my job
"young married woman……"
I don’t know how long it had passed, but when Huo Beichuan came out to meet people, he saw his wife standing in the crowd. The afterglow of the setting sun was shining on her, as if she had been coated with a layer of golden light, making her look gentle and beautiful.
"Ah? Have I been talking for too long?" Shen Jintao came to her senses and saw that it was already late.
"No, I just went to get some food. I've asked someone to get the furniture. We can move in directly soon." Huo Beichuan said with a smile.
"Oh, I said I would take my sister over to take a look later, but I didn't expect Captain Huo to have already thought of it."
Huang Xiuru covered her mouth and smiled.
"Speaking of which, Captain Huo is also a man who loves his wife very much!"
"Of course I was. When I first came here, I was so busy that I didn't have time to chat with my sisters-in-law. My husband is not a responsible person. He doesn't know what to buy for the house or how to clean the house."
Huo Beichuan just smiled faintly after hearing his sisters-in-law's jokes, and took his wife home.
Huo Beichuan was very excited. This feeling was completely different from when he was in the countryside before.
The home in the countryside is everyone's home, but this home belongs only to him and his wife.
"Where are your brothers?" Chen Jintao felt really embarrassed. She was outside chatting with others while her comrades were here helping to clean up.
The weeds in the yard have been cleared and the things that should be thrown away have been thrown away. It looks much tidier.
"They are here to help us get the furniture. There is no need to feel any psychological burden. We have been through this before, and I have helped them a lot."
"That being said, we still have to treat everyone to a meal. How about tomorrow? We'll go shopping for groceries tomorrow. Don't you still have two days of vacation?"
Shen Jintao suggested.
"OK."
After a while, a group of soldiers came carrying various kinds of furniture. There were some furniture in the house originally, and those that could be used were preserved. After the furniture was in place, the whole house looked brand new and could be moved in directly.
"Thank you for your hard work today. Come to my house for dinner tomorrow night, and don't be polite to me." Chen Jintao said to the soldiers who came to help.
"Sister-in-law, we will definitely not be polite to you."
Gao Wu took the lead and spoke.
"That's good! Remember to come tomorrow!"
After everyone left, Huo Beichuan placed the food he brought back from the cafeteria on the new table and said, "Wife, come and eat quickly and try the cooking of our cafeteria chef."
"OK!"
After the couple had dinner, Huo Beichuan suggested taking her for a walk on the beach.
Chen Jintao readily agreed. After all, the sea in this era was not polluted and must be very beautiful.
The two came to the beach, the sea breeze gently hitting their bodies, this moment was a peaceful and quiet one.
But this beauty was soon broken.
"Huo Beichuan!"
It was a woman's voice, and it sounded angry. You could tell right away that the other party was looking for trouble.
The two looked towards the source of the sound and saw Liu Wanzhi.
Huo Beichuan frowned and whispered to his wife beside him, "This is the woman who slandered me before."
"Won't the army deal with people like her?"
Logically speaking, Liu Wanzhi's behavior was equivalent to maliciously destroying a military marriage, and the army could not possibly pretend not to know.
"Yes, she was dealt with. She was in the art troupe before, but she was expelled. However, her father is the brigade commander. Although that incident had a certain impact on her father, it is impossible to just fire her because of this. So she still lives in the family compound."
Huo Beichuan explained in a low voice.
Chen Jintao knew what was going on.
Seeing that the two were whispering and had no intention of paying attention to her, Liu Wanzhi was very angry and shouted again, "Huo Beichuan!"
"Huo Beichuan, what do you mean? Are you pretending not to know me?"
"Do I know you well? If you hadn't falsely accused me of dating you, I wouldn't even remember your name."
Huo Beichuan is very direct.
Liu Wanzhi was so angry about this. In the past, those soldiers had always chased after her, and there were countless people who wanted to date her. She finally fell in love with Huo Beichuan, but he didn't take her seriously at all.
How could the proud Liu Wanzhi bear this? She came here specially today because she heard that Huo Beichuan brought his country wife to join the army. She wanted to know what kind of woman could be with Huo Beichuan.
This is indeed very beautiful at first glance, but what’s the use of being beautiful? There is no way her family could help Huo Beichuan. Huo Beichuan must be so blinded by greed that he would give up his leader's daughter and choose a woman like this.
"Huo Beichuan, do you know that you left me this mess, ruined my reputation, and made me lose my job in the art troupe? Is this how you treat me? At the very least, shouldn't you apologize to me?"
Chen Jintao was a little shocked. To be honest, Liu Wanzhi was really pretty. At least it was the first time that Chen Jintao saw such a beautiful girl. Logically, she should have her own pride, but it was really cheap to slander someone for dating her and now say such things.
Huo Beichuan was also speechless. "First of all, I didn't do anything to make you misunderstand, nor did I promise to date you. It was you who spread those rumors while I was away from the army. I haven't even said that you have disturbed my life. How dare you ask me to apologize?"
Huo Beichuan is not a gentleman who would not argue with women. He just can't stand Liu Wanzhi's behavior.
"Is this your wife?"
Liu Wanzhi also knew that she was in the wrong in that matter, so she could only look at Chen Jintao and sized her up with a very critical gaze.
"She doesn't look that good. I heard she's from the countryside. Huo Beichuan, I'm looking forward to the day when you regret it. You know, a woman like this won't be of any help to you at all."
Chen Jintao laughed angrily, "Comrade, I don't like what you said. First of all, if Huo Beichuan is a man who needs women to move up, I don't think I would be interested in him. In addition, you have known him for a long time, right? If you think you have some qualities that attract him, you should have been together a long time ago. I think my old Huo has a very good eye and can tell whether someone is a man or a ghost at a glance."
"How dare you say that to me!" Liu Wanzhi looked at Chen Jintao in disbelief. In her opinion, a military wife from the countryside should be submissive when meeting the daughter of a big leader like her. How dare this woman do that?
