"Qin Lamei, you're doing this on purpose! What are you pretending for!" Su Meihua angrily pointed at Qin Lamei's nose.
The wives of the soldiers nearby turned to look at them upon hearing the commotion. "What happened?"
Su Meihua said to the newly arrived military dependents, "Sisters-in-law, you've come at the right time. Please help us judge this matter."
This fishing spot was originally Yu Yao's, but Qin Lamei deliberately took it from her while we were baiting the hook.
"Hey, hey, Su Meihua, watch your mouth."
Qin Lamei interrupted her, shouting, "What do you mean I deliberately stole Yu Yao's spot? The fishing spots on the boat belong to the military, not private individuals. According to the rules, whoever goes first gets to use them. How did that make me steal Yu Yao's spot?"
At this point, Qin Lamei pursed her lips.
"Besides, Yu Yao didn't even say I took her seat, so why are you jumping in so eagerly? People who know the situation will think you're standing up for someone, but people who don't will think you're meddling in other people's business."
"You're the one who's meddling, your whole family is meddling."
Su Meihua was furious and cursed directly, "Qin Lamei, let me tell you, I've disliked you for a long time. Last time I sold bird's nest, you were the one who sabotaged me. Now you dare to bully Yu Yao, ask me first if I agree."
Yu Yao went up to Su Meihua and said, "Sister-in-law Meihua, let's talk this out. I have a way to deal with her."
Knowing that Yu Yao was worried about her, Su Meihua whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Yu Yao, let's use your method later. I'll just talk about it for now."
After saying that, she didn't care whether Yu Yao agreed or not, and pulled her behind her. "Yu Yao, step back, so you don't get sprayed with spittle. I'm going to give her a piece of my mind today."
Qin Lamei retorted, "You think I'm afraid of you? You little tagalong!"
Su Meihua sneered: "I'd be happy to be Yu Yao's little tagalong, unlike you, nobody pays any attention to you. Do you think I don't know that you're just jealous that Yu Yao is better and prettier than you? So what? It's no use being jealous, you're just not as good as Yu Yao."
These words struck a nerve with Qin Lamei, and her face changed drastically. "Su Meihua, don't think I'm afraid of you. Someone like you can only be a follower; what future do you have..."
Su Meihua was not to be outdone, and she stood with her hands on her hips, hurling insults at her.
People around them tried to stop them, but the two, engrossed in their argument, wouldn't listen.
The two were arguing and it looked like they were about to come to blows. If they hadn't been held back, they definitely would have started fighting.
Even so, the two stretched out their legs and arms, kicking and scratching at the air.
The commotion caught Lu Ze's attention, and he called for help to separate Qin Lamei and Su Meihua.
"What happened?"
This time, Su Meihua didn't give Qin Lamei a chance and preemptively complained: "Commander Lu, Qin Lamei is bullying Yu Yao and deliberately stealing her fishing spot. Make her leave!"
Qin Lamei wasn't afraid at all. She looked at Lu Ze and said, "Commander Lu, don't listen to Su Meihua's nonsense. I was the one who got this position first, so how did it become Yu Yao's? Commander Lu, I know you've always been fair and just, so you definitely won't favor Yu Yao, right?"
Qin Lamei's words had a hidden meaning, which the surrounding military wives all understood.
Some people see the intricacies, some frown, and some just enjoy the spectacle.
Qin Lamei was fearless and emboldened.
Even if Lu Ze were to favor Yu Yao in public, he wouldn't dare to do so openly. If he did, she could go back and complain to her husband.
If he takes her side, Yu Yao will definitely feel uncomfortable, and it will also upset the couple.
Yu Yao quickly figured out her purpose.
Qin Lamei underestimated Lu Ze, and she underestimated herself as well.
Although Yu Yao believed that Lu Ze would handle it well, she didn't need him to take action yet. Yu Yao stepped forward and asked, "Qin Lamei, you said you were here first. What proof do you have?"
Qin Lamei stepped aside and gestured for everyone to look at the fishing spot behind her. "You can see, that's my fishing rod, not Yu Yao's. That's the proof."
Everyone nodded in agreement. "This is indeed Qin Lamei's fishing rod. I saw her carrying it when we boarded the boat earlier."
"So Qin Lamei really did come to this fishing spot first."
Qin Lamei overheard everyone's words and smiled at Yu Yao and Lu Ze, "The truth has come out. Commander Lu, your wife is crying wolf and falsely accusing me. Shouldn't you make her apologize to me?"
Su Meihua: "Sisters, don't listen to her nonsense. It's because she got there first that we didn't have time to cast our fishing rods. That's the evidence that she took our spots."
Qin Lamei deliberately sighed, "Su Meihua, I know Yu Yao and you are close, but you can't just bully me like this. I was here first. Aren't you bullying me? Commander Lu, you have to stand up for me."
"Comrade Qin, I know you're anxious, but don't rush." Yu Yao walked to the fishing spot, looked at it, and revealed a confident smile. "You said that there's only your fishing rod on this spot, not mine, so you were here first."
Qin Lamei frowned. "That's right, isn't it?"
Yu Yao said coldly, "Of course not. Ladies, please look here."
Qin Lamei and the other military dependents went to see it.
Yu Yao was pointing to something made of off-white rubber, its purpose unknown, but Qin Lamei's fishing rod was fixed to it.
Everyone looked puzzled.
Only Lu Ze and the other soldiers who had suffered losses from sea fishing showed a hint of understanding in their eyes.
"Yu Yao, what is this?"
Yu Yao looked at Qin Lamei, "Comrade Qin should know, right? After all, you arrived first."
Qin Lamei curled her lip indifferently: "It's just something used to fix fishing rods at the fishing spot, what's so special about it?"
Yu Yao smiled slightly.
Some family members have already noticed the problem and shouted, "Everyone, look! Only this fishing spot has this rubber ring; the other fishing spots don't have it at all."
Hearing her say that, the others looked at the other fishing spots and, sure enough, didn't find anything.
"What exactly is going on?"
Qin Lamei felt uneasy. "If it's not there, it's not there. There's no rule that says a fishing spot has to have this."
At this moment, Su Meihua jumped out and said, "Qin Lamei, you're dumbfounded, aren't you? Do you know why the other fishing spots don't have this? It's because only Yu Yao has this thing; Yu Yao put it there permanently."
Qin Lamei's expression darkened upon hearing this.
A military family member asked Yu Yao, "Yu Yao, is what Su Meihua said true? Is this really yours?"
Yu Yao took out another identical rubber ring from her pocket. "These two coils are to be used together. One is used to fix the fishing rod, and the other is fixed to the fishing rod to save effort."
This way, even if I catch a big fish, I don't have to worry about ruining the rod and losing the fish. This was specially made for me by Lu Ze; the inside even has the initials of our names in pinyin. It was a birthday gift from him.
As she spoke, she revealed the abbreviation on her inner thigh.
