Although Xu Zhaodi appeared calm on the surface, she was actually very nervous.
It was the first time she had seen such a scene, and it really looked too serious.
Political Commissar Zhou saw that Xu Zhaodi had a calm expression and did not look like someone who had done something wrong and felt guilty.
A clerk at the side said, "Comrade Xu Zhaodi, I advise you to tell the truth. Your story is not groundless. It's useless to quibble. There are several witnesses in this compound."
witness?
They are none other than Zhang Qingdong and Feng Xiujuan.
As the saying goes, if you catch a couple cheating, you catch them both. She was the only one there at the time, and they didn't know who the other party was. As long as she refused to admit it, could they conjure up an adulterer out of thin air?
Hearing the clerk's words, Xu Zhaodi's face changed instantly.
"Comrade, there is nothing wrong, you want me to tell you the truth, how should I tell you?
I am illiterate, I just wanted to go home to see my family, but when I arrived at the train station, I was taken back without any ID. What do you want me to admit? What do you want me to confess?"
Xu Zhaodi seemed a little angry. Seeing her like this, Political Commissar Zhou felt that it would be difficult to get anything out of her.
Political Commissar Zhou said again: "Don't be afraid, we are just trying to understand the situation and we won't do anything to you."
It would be strange if he didn't do anything. He was just expecting himself to confess after hearing these words. This would set him up with a big trap.
Xu Zhaodi: "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. I don't have any ghosts in my heart, so what should I be afraid of?
Besides, they have been speaking so harshly in the compound these days, and I am still waiting for the organization to clear my name.
You say that my private life is problematic, that my work style is problematic, but I never leave the house all day, and when I go out for a while, I come back with my reputation ruined. Who can I go to for justice?"
Having said this, Xu Zhaodi looked a little sad, with tears streaming down her face.
She sat opposite the two big men, with her head hung and her shoulders shaking. She didn't know why she thought she was being bullied by the two men in front of her.
Political Commissar Zhou and the clerk looked at each other. What Xu Zhaodi said was right. If you want to catch an adulterer, you have to catch both of them. They didn't even see the two of them together, and no one knew where the man was. A large group of people were talking about them, which really had an impact on her.
This matter was originally just hearsay and rumors, and there is no solid evidence. The women in the compound have nothing to do, and they can exaggerate small things and turn them into a big deal. Xu Zhaodi must have said something she shouldn't have said, and she definitely won't have the chance to do it.
The reason why she was called here was not to punish her, but to give her a small punishment but a big warning.
Political Commissar Zhou took a deep breath and said in a gentle voice: "Comrade Xu Zhaodi, I don't think you are the unreasonable person that everyone says you are. To tell you the truth, you are Chen Jianguo's wife, and your behavior in the compound represents Chen Jianguo's reputation.
You are a military wife, and being a military wife means you have greater responsibilities than other married women. No matter what your reason for running away this time, please follow the procedures of the compound in the future to avoid any more jokes and misunderstandings."
"Yes, thank you, boss. I understand."
Xu Zhaodi was still sobbing in a low voice, with red eyes and a look of being extremely wronged.
The clerk frowned again when he saw her like this.
There is no smoke without fire. She herself has a bad conduct and now she is being wronged.
Political Commissar Zhou said, "Captain Zhang has already told you about the job at the pig farm. You originally had this job opportunity, but it was because of your personal problems. Now that we have received reports, this job quota can only be given to other family members for the time being. Do you have any objections?"
It must be Feng Xiujuan.
Xu Zhaodi is not a fool.
Well, it's gone, so it's gone. Anyway, there's a big cut on her arm and her ankle is sprained. She'll have to rest for half a month. She won't join in the fun.
As for work matters, let’s talk about it after half a month.
"No problem. I was just thinking of coming to talk to you about this today. Unfortunately, I sprained my foot yesterday and can't go to work for the time being."
Political Commissar Zhou glanced at Xu Zhaodi's feet under the table. When she came, one of her feet was wearing a slipper, and it looked badly swollen, so it seemed that she was really injured.
Political Commissar Zhou saw that the time was almost up, glanced at the time on his wrist, and said, "That's good. It's getting late. You should go back early too."
"Thank you, leader."
Xu Zhaodi supported herself on the table, stood up straight and gave the two of them a standard bow.
"I am sorry for causing trouble to you two leaders today. I will pay attention to my behavior in the future, especially my mouth. I hope this incident will not affect my husband. Thank you leaders."
Xu Zhaodi left these words and without waiting for the two men to say anything, she limped out.
The clerk and Political Commissar Zhou were stunned, especially Political Commissar Zhou.
No matter how you look at it, isn't this the behavior that everyone calls a shrew?
By the way, how did she hurt her foot?
Political Commissar Zhou didn't think much about it and just exchanged a glance with the clerk.
After everyone left, the clerk muttered, "Captain Chen is such a good man, how could he marry such a fat woman? She has no manners at all."
Political Commissar Zhou glared at the clerk and said sternly, "Watch your choice of words. You're bringing such a trivial matter to me.
There is no factual basis at all. They are just a bunch of rural women who have nothing better to do and have no ideological awareness at all. They are just making trouble all day long.
Go and inform the others to hold a meeting at 8pm sharp. We must educate everyone on this matter."
Seeing that the political commissar was really angry, the clerk stood up and shouted, "Yes."
The political commissar glared at the clerk. He was really tactless. Why were you shouting so loudly? Did you want to scare people to death?
"Get out of here, hurry up."
The clerk looked puzzled and had to take the notebook and slip away.
Jiang Wan supported Xu Zhaodi and walked towards the courtyard. Jiang Wan asked, "Sister, is it because of what happened yesterday that they are interrogating you?"
Jiang Wan pursed his lips, looking very angry.
"Nothing, just asked me a few questions about something small."
Jiang Wan's tone was full of dissatisfaction.
"Humph, it must be because of what happened yesterday. Sister, you bravely fought against the human traffickers, don't they know about it?"
Xu Zhaodi knew that the issue of personal conduct was over, and she should not talk about her brave fight against the human traffickers anymore, lest those women knew about it and exaggerated the facts.
It's not that she was afraid, but some things may not be true when said by one person, but if many people say it, the false thing will become true.
Xu Zhaodi looked around and whispered, "Don't tell anyone about this in front of others. It's fine if we just keep it between ourselves."
"Sister, this is a good deed, why can't I tell you?"
"Nothing, it's getting late, let's go back early."
Jiang Wan was very confused, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, this matter can't end like this.
Chen Jianguo also heard that Xu Zhaodi was taken away. After finishing his work, he planned to go to the cafeteria to see him, and strode towards the military compound.
