A person who's obsessed with saving face and suffers for it.
Poor Deputy Battalion Commander Xu has such a spendthrift and boastful wife.
Ge Hong pointed at Sister Lü's hand, which was trembling incessantly.
Both of their husbands were deputy battalion commanders; what right did she have to laugh at herself?
He immediately rushed over and started fighting with Sister-in-law Lü.
The sister-in-law, who was watching the commotion, quickly separated the two, and each of them received a slap, which was quite fair.
When Lin Xiaoxiao and Sister Wang arrived, the two were still arguing. The other women tried to stop them from fighting, but they also watched the spectacle with great interest.
"The Qin family has arrived."
Someone shouted something, and Ge Hong and Sister-in-law Lü stopped arguing.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes darkened when she saw the conspicuous slap on Sister-in-law Lü's face.
He took out the purchase receipt and showed it to each of the women present. "Ladies and gentlemen, let me clarify first that my husband Qin Yushen bought the bicycle yesterday. He happened to drive it yesterday and only rode it back today."
"To someone who arrogantly believes that I am deliberately going against her, I just want to say that I don't even know her. They are overestimating themselves."
"I don't know who she is or what position her husband holds that makes it worth Qin Yushen and I going out of our way to oppose her. To be honest, this kind of mentality is either inferiority or overconfidence."
"Also, I heard rumors about me circulating in the family compound?"
"They say I married Qin Yushen because I used some unknown means to seduce him, and that I was doing something shameful in the house with the door closed during the day. Isn't that spreading rumors? What is her purpose? To undermine the unity of the family compound? The family compound is the military's rear area. If there is a division in the rear area, do you think if I go to the political commissar of the unit to report the person spreading the rumors, will they be expelled from the unit or sent to labor reform?"
After uttering those words so casually, more than 80% of the onlookers turned pale with fright.
Ge Hong, who was not very knowledgeable, was so frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
"It's Qin's family's house. We were just joking around, we didn't mean anything by it."
"Yes, it was all Ge Hong talking nonsense. She even guaranteed that everything she said was true. We're not very bright, so we all believed her."
"I know, Ge Hong is just jealous of you, that's why she deliberately smears you in front of us, trying to get us to say bad things about you with her."
"Ge Hong is really not a good person..."
The person who spread the gossip turned pale and started shifting the blame.
The first target was Ge Hong, the rumor-monger.
