Chapter 47
The military wives who were speaking for Qiu Dazao also stood there in a daze.
At first I thought she was the young wife of some battalion commander.
It turned out that she was Deputy Colonel Lu’s new wife.
And after hearing what she said, it seems that Captain Xu’s mother is not in the right either.
Everyone changed their minds and dared not to side with Qiu Dazao. Some people rolled their eyes and let go of Qiu Dazao's hands.
"Auntie, I'm still cooking at home, I'll go back first."
"I have soup in the pot, don't let it get burnt!"
"Oh my, my little bastard is squatting in the toilet, waiting for me to wipe his butt..."
“…”
This excuse is so strange, and it is obvious that these people don't want to get involved in their family affairs anymore.
Although Deputy Colonel Lu is only a deputy, he was promoted faster than Colonel Xu. He is also young, and he may be promoted to a full-time position after completing a few more missions.
Qiu Dazao looked confused as he watched everyone running away. Soon even the children were taken away by their parents.
The two families were left there, and Qiu Dazao glared at Tang Wan fiercely.
"Don't be so proud, little whore, we are not done with this!"
She went back to complain to her son!
"Okay, go back and find Captain Xu, and remember to tell your son everything that little whore, vixen, said.
See if your son will scold you for not being able to teach your children, or come to my house to cause trouble."
Tang Wan confronted him mercilessly and then dragged Tang Zhou back.
Qiu Dazao, who was behind, was so angry that she jumped up and down. She walked back, dragging one of her grandsons with one hand, and glared at Xu Qiao fiercely.
"You're a money loser, why are you still standing there? When your father comes back, I'll let him take care of you!"
On the other side, Tang Wan was walking back with Tang Zhou. Tang Zhou had always been proud, but this time his eyes turned red.
"Sister, why don't I go back to East City?"
It's all because of him that my sister was humiliated like this. He is the one who dragged my sister down.
"You won't be frightened by a few words from others, right?"
Tang Wan realized that her tone was a bit harsh, so she quickly softened it, "Zhou Zhou, we are a family.
What others say is their business. Your brother-in-law and I have never thought of you as a burden."
"I understand, sis."
Tang Zhou was depressed and seemed to be in a bad mood. She kept comforting him. As they walked back, they happened to meet Lu Huaijing who came to look for them.
"Wife, what's going on?"
As Lu Huaijing was walking along, he happened to meet a military wife who was coming home to cook. She said that her wife had some conflict with someone else.
He was so frightened that his steps quickened.
"It's nothing serious, we'll talk about it when we get back."
Tang Wan noticed that everyone in the compound was looking at her curiously, and she didn't want to give others the chance to watch her show.
So she took the two men, one big and one small, back home.
I don't know where Lu Huaijing got the coal stove from, and there were a few coal briquettes next to it.
At this moment the pot was on the coal stove, heating their meal.
"Zhou Zhou, has anyone bullied you?"
Lu Huaijing had sharp eyes and noticed that Tang Zhou's ears were pulled red and his clothes were messy.
"Brother-in-law."
Tang Zhou's eyes were sore. He didn't cry even when he was beaten just now, but when his brother-in-law asked him this, tears of grievance welled up in his eyes.
"It was Captain Xu's son, Xu Heping. Hearing his grandmother's nonsense, he called me a vixen and a burden.
Zhou Zhou was so angry that the two of them started fighting. You better be careful or you will get into trouble."
It’s not that Tang Wan doubts Captain Xu’s character, it’s just that Qiu Dazao is too bad.
She would definitely exaggerate the story when she returned, and the other party might even think it was Lu Huaijing's fault.
"I'll take care of it."
A hint of coldness flashed across Lu Huaijing's eyes, and he felt dissatisfied. If the leader came to him, he could still fight back.
He was also afraid that if he didn't come, his daughter-in-law would suffer unnecessarily.
"Brother-in-law, I am causing you trouble."
Tang Zhou felt uncomfortable and was grabbed by Lu Huaijing, his eyes were deep.
"Zhou Zhou, you didn't cause any trouble. You did the right thing. If someone bullies you and your sister, you should fight back!"
Tang Zhou's eyes widened in surprise. In the past, whenever he fought with other children, his parents would always teach him to be patient.
They have different identities, but the brother-in-law thinks it is right for him to beat someone?
"Can I?"
"Of course."
Lu Huaijing looked at him encouragingly, "If anyone dares to scold you and your sister, go ahead! I'll take care of it if anything goes wrong."
"But he is the captain's son."
Tang Zhou was still worried, after all, Xu Heping's father was his brother-in-law's leader.
"That being said, they are not right. Even if they make a scene, you are still right."
Lu Huaijing smiled at him soothingly, "Living here is like living in your own home, don't feel constrained."
"Okay, thank you, brother-in-law."
Tang Zhou's eyes were sparkling, and they were full of admiration as he looked at Lu Huaijing.
Tang Wan: …
It seemed like all her advice just now was in vain.
This is the strange friendship between men, right?
"Let's eat."
Lu Huaijing shared the heated meal between the two siblings. The dish was not bad, it was braised pork with potatoes.
The chef in the cafeteria seemed to be quite good at cooking. The food was rich but not greasy. Tang Wan ate a big bowl of it with great satisfaction.
On the other side, Qiu Dazao brought her grandchildren home. Her new daughter-in-law had already gotten off work and was cooking.
There was at least half a pound of meat in the pot, which made Qiu Dazao, who usually couldn't stand the smell of oil, unable to resist.
My heart ached, and my tone was not very good, "If you don't manage a household, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.
Qingqing, you have a big family, we can’t waste it.”
"I want to eat."
Xia Qing is a nurse herself and her family is well off, so it is no problem for her to eat some meat occasionally.
Qiu Dazao was already in a bad mood, and after hearing what Xia Qing said, the two of them started arguing on the spot.
When Captain Xu returned home, what greeted him was not hot meals, but two women who almost blew the roof off the house.
Xu Heping and his younger brother Xu Weimin held their bowls and ate the meat dishes cooked by Xia Qing.
"Son, look at your new wife. She eats so much meat in one meal. Isn't that a waste?"
Qiu Dazao proudly went to Captain Xu to complain, saying that his son was his own and he didn't believe that the captain would still help this vixen.
"I just got my salary and meat coupons, so I wanted to reward you. But now, none of us can eat."
Xia was young and acted like a spoiled brat, so just a few words from her made Captain Xu feel very distressed.
He hugged his little wife and glared angrily at his two sons who were eating with their mouths full of grease.
"I've worked so hard, but I'm hungry for you, right? You're just like a hungry ghost reincarnated!"
"father."
Xu Heping was beaten today and scolded by his father, so he started crying out of grievance.
Unable to do anything to Xia Qing, Qiu Dazao took out his anger on Tang Wan, "Why are you so fierce?
Your son was beaten up badly by outsiders today, so what's wrong with eating some meat?"
"What's going on?"
Captain Xu still cared about his son. When he heard that his son was beaten by someone else, he immediately frowned.
Qiu Dazao then described in vivid detail the incident of Tang Zhou beating Xu Heping, emphasizing that the other party was wrong.
Xu Heping was shaking his head in agony, "Dad, it hurts so much!"
"I'll go find them right away!"
Captain Xu had a bad temper and wanted to go find Lu Huaijing as soon as he heard this. Xia Qing saw that this was unacceptable and quickly chased after him.
