The two of them called the newspaper to explain the situation, saying that he might need to rest for half a month and not send any manuscripts for the time being. Based on Shen Qingli's previous excellent work, they also expressed understanding and concern.
"I'll call home and ask Aunt Zhang to come and take care of you for a few days." He said as he was about to dial the number.
Shen Qingli quickly pulled him with his left hand: "It's not like I'm disabled and can't do anything. There's no need to call Aunt Zhang over. If you call me, I'll be angry!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're broken or disabled. If you're not allowed to scream, then don't scream."
Meng Xiao felt uncomfortable and frightened when he heard this.
The two returned home, Shen Qingli rested, Meng Xiao cooked, and the two argued about eating again. Shen Qingli said that she could eat by herself, and her hands could still move. Meng Xiao would not let her eat by herself, and insisted on feeding her. After arguing for a while,
In the end, Shen Qingli was defeated by Meng Xiao's persistence...
"Open the package in the yard. It's from my parents. The letter is in my bag. The security department just took us away. There was a little soldier who was pretty good and helped me carry the package back."
After Shen Qingli finished her meal, Meng Xiao arranged for her to sit under the eaves. He opened the letter and placed it in her hands before opening the package.
"They are all your cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes, some new and some old, huh? There are also cotton-padded clothes and sweaters for me. And..."
"You don't have to tell me, Mom wrote it all in the letter." Shen Qingli shook the letter in his hand.
"There are cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded trousers, cotton-padded shoes, cotton-padded socks, as well as the cotton-padded insoles that Grandma and Mom sewed for us, newly knitted sweaters, gloves, and some other things. Please put all these things in order."
"good."
After putting things in place, Meng Xiao asked Shen Qingli to take a break while he went to see how things were handled.
"Well, don't be impulsive. Also, you must protect Brother Mingchuan."
"Don't worry." Meng Xiao rubbed her hair.
Military Affairs Department
"Meng Xiao, you can't attend the meeting. You have to avoid suspicion in this matter. If you attend, others will think it is unfair." The political commissar advised earnestly.
"I'm not participating. I just want to raise a few points. First, my wife is pregnant. Second, Ye Mingchuan is the son of my father-in-law's family friend, and my wife's brother. He was protecting his pregnant sister and only fought back after seeing her being restrained. This should be considered legitimate self-defense. Third, my wife's work at the newspaper has been delayed. The doctor said that my wife can't move her hands for half a month. I can take care of her during this half month, but I can't do her work for her.
Therefore, I am applying to recover one thousand yuan from Liu Tiejun and Chen Xiang and Chen Rou for the half month's lost wages on my wife's behalf. This is only because Liu Tiejun is my subordinate. Otherwise, he would not be able to escape the mental damage compensation, food expenses and nutrition expenses.
I have finished reporting!"
Meng Xiao sat upright. He wasn't a particularly kind person to begin with, so how could he let someone else off the hook so easily after they bullied his wife?
…
"Captain Meng, we really can't go in. I can't explain it." The young soldier looked embarrassed.
"I'll go in and say a few words. I'll take responsibility for the questions from the higher-ups."
"But."
"This is an order." His tone was flat, and no emotion could be heard.
"Then hurry up and be gentle. I won't be able to explain if something happens." The young soldier also knew that if Meng Xiao went in at this time, Liu Tiejun would definitely be in trouble, but he still relented. He deserved it. It was his fault for attacking a female comrade.
Meng Xiao nodded and patted the young soldier on the shoulder.
As the door opened, light shone in and Liu Tiejun covered his eyes.
When I got used to the light, I saw the figure walking in.
"Old Meng?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Xiao raised his long legs and kicked him. He fell to the ground and slid backwards until he hit the wall.
He was already injured from Ye Mingchuan's beating, and now it was difficult for him to even stand up after being kicked. Meng Xiao took a few steps forward and pulled his collar, his tone cold:
"You hit my wife? Liu Tiejun! Do you know you are a man? Do you know you are a soldier?
You fucking knew that was my wife and you almost broke her hand! Do you want to die? Huh? "
"I'm sorry." He didn't dare look at Meng Xiao. He was speechless. It was too late to say anything.
Meng Xiao let go of him and punched him in the stomach again.
Liu Tiejun clutched his stomach and slowly sat up, leaning against the wall. He felt exhausted.
"I know it's useless to say anything now. Lao Meng, please apologize to my sister-in-law for me. I saw Chen Xiang being beaten, and Chen Xiang scolded me all over. My mind was in a mess for a moment. No matter what, it was my fault..."
