Chapter 76

The originally harmonious atmosphere was destroyed because of Cheng Xiaoyue's behavior.

Everyone looked at her in astonishment, some not understanding why she would say that about Tang Wan.

"Comrade Cheng, please don't insult my reputation here with specious remarks."

Tang Wan suppressed the smile on her face and said, "Or do you think I made a mistake in saving your sister-in-law?"

She was never one to be gullible.

Cheng Xiaoyue was extremely depressed by Tang Wan's righteous attitude, and she was a little angry.

"If it weren't for you, why would my brother chase me away!"

If she hadn't saved Xu Cuiying, none of this would have happened.

Tang Wan sneered, "So you really think I saved the wrong person.

That's your sister-in-law, you have such a vicious heart."

"Hey, you are such an interesting woman, do you dare to go to the army and tell them that saving people is wrong?"

Zhang Hongyan didn't know Cheng Xiaoyue, but she probably guessed her identity, so she found it unbelievable.

There were many military wives in the compound who knew Cheng Xiaoyue, and now they all looked at her in surprise.

"Xiaoyue, Cuiying is your sister-in-law. Sister-in-law Lu saved your sister-in-law. You should thank her very much."

"If it weren't for Vice Colonel Lu's wife, your sister-in-law would have died."

"You can't be so ungrateful, or you will suffer retribution."

“…”

After hearing what the military wives said, Cheng Xiaoyue's eyes turned red with anger. She just couldn't stand seeing Tang Wan so high-spirited when she returned home.

Why did she know Lu Huaijing before Tang Wan, but Tang Wan is living a better life than her?

Now she was about to be driven out of the compound by her brother. She felt aggrieved at the thought. She rolled her eyes and said:

"She saved my sister-in-law and I am grateful to her, but she actually encouraged my sister-in-law to chase me away."

Talking about the sad part, Cheng Xiaoyue even shed a few drops of cat urine, "My sister-in-law is pregnant now, and my brother is afraid of upsetting her.

I could only follow her words and say I should be driven away. I felt so wronged."

After hearing what she said, everyone looked at Tang Wan with a somewhat subtle look, and Zhang Hongyan just walked over.

"What are you talking about? I didn't even know you before, how could I possibly target you?"

She wouldn't believe it if I told her otherwise. It was obvious that she was trying to frame Lai Tang Wan.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiaoyue's expression changed. She bit her lip pitifully and then explained shyly:

"Because before she married Vice Colonel Lu, I met Vice Colonel Lu. She must be holding a grudge against me because of this."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Tang Wan in amazement, their eyes moving back and forth between her and Cheng Xiaoyue.

"Tai, I didn't even know that Cheng Xiaoyue had met with Vice Captain Lu."

"She's not even as pretty as Comrade Tang. No wonder Vice Colonel Lu doesn't like her."

"However, the two failed to meet, so how could Comrade Tang hold a grudge against Cheng Xiaoyue?"

“…”

Although some people said unpleasant things, Cheng Xiaoyue achieved her goal and she raised her chin slightly.

"I didn't expect you to be such a narrow-minded person. If I can get along with Vice Colonel Lu, what's your business?"

If she doesn't live well, Tang Wan can forget about living happily with Deputy Commander Lu.

"If I had known you were there, I would never have gone there."

Lu Huaijing's cold voice cut through the crowd, and he walked up to Tang Wan with his long legs.

"Comrade Cheng, you and I didn't even know each other before. I was deceived and fooled by someone.

I explained it to you very clearly at the time, but I didn’t expect you to still be upset about it and even make things difficult for my wife.”

A real man is one who dares to confront any outsider who harms his family.

Tang Wan, who was originally still angry, felt more confident after being protected by Lu Huaijing.

She chuckled and looked at Cheng Xiaoyue, "Did you hear that clearly? You and my lover are strangers at best.

You are not as pretty as me, nor as virtuous as me, what is there for me to be jealous of and deal with you?"

No one has ever been so narcissistic. Tang Wan's words shocked the military wives present.

They stood there with their mouths slightly open, as if they were meeting Tang Wan for the first time.

Cheng Xiaoyue was humiliated by Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing in turn. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She was so angry that she cried.

"I don't want to leave. I haven't found a partner yet, wuwuwu..."

She knew it was useless to discredit Tang Wan at this moment, and could only sell herself pitifully.

Seeing her, a little girl squatting on the ground and crying loudly, some people couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

Before she could even open her mouth, Tang Wan said directly: "It's your family's business if your brother chases you away.

Normally we outsiders shouldn't interfere, but you cried so miserably, you must feel wronged.

Do you want me to tell everyone why your brother chased you away?"

These words made Cheng Xiaoyue stop crying for a moment. She raised her eyes suddenly and stared at Tang Wan with tears in her eyes.

Is she...is she a devil?

"Big sister, why did her brother chase her away?"

Zhang Hongyan was really curious, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip.

Hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyue stood up suddenly and said, "Stop talking nonsense. It was my mother who asked me to go back to see her."

After she yelled, she quickly opened the door of her house and ran inside, looking as if she was too embarrassed to face anyone.

Zhang Hongyan said, "Tsk, do you really think we are blind? She must have done something to let her brother and sister-in-law down."

"Speaking of which, why did Xu Cuiying jump into the river out of nowhere? Could it be that she was forced to do so by her sister-in-law?"

"It's possible. I've seen Xu Cuiying washing her pants many times. She's a grown-up girl and she doesn't feel ashamed."

"No wonder Vice Colonel Lu doesn't think highly of her. Even the young men in our village don't think highly of her."

“…”

Seeing that everyone was chatting happily, Lu Huaijing said with a serious face: "If you sisters-in-law are curious, you can go and ask the Cheng family in person.

We have other things to deal with, please excuse me."

He helped Uncle Mao, who looked embarrassed, move things into the yard. Perhaps it was because he looked gloomy.

These military wives didn't want to make trouble, so they went back home one by one with excuses.

Zhang Hongyan gently touched Tang Wan's elbow and said, "Sister, I didn't expect that Deputy Commander Lu loves his wife so much. You are so lucky."

"Thank you, sister-in-law, for speaking for me just now."

Tang Wan was not an ungrateful person. Zhang Hongyan truly protected her, so she was naturally grateful.

"These are the raspberries I picked. Take some back for Shengli."

"You're welcome. Keep this for Zhou Zhou."

Zhang Hongyan felt a little embarrassed by what Tang Wan said. She really liked being with Tang Wan.

While the two were arguing, a man came over leading Wang Shengli. It was Political Commissar Wang.

This was the first time Tang Wan met him. What surprised Tang Wan was that although Political Commissar Wang was a soldier, he was an elegant man with a scholarly air.

He walked over and talked to Lu Huaijing, then hurried forward to help get his own table.

"Brother Zhou."

Wang Shengli followed Tang Zhou with admiration on his face. Tang Zhou handed him a handful of raspberries and said stubbornly:

"My sister asked me to give it to you."

Tang Wan: …

Several people burst into laughter, and Lu Huaijing helped move in the furniture that Zhang Hongyan and others had ordered.
