Liu Cuiping fell to the ground, dust flew everywhere, and the military wives around her gasped in shock.
Her face flushed, her eyes burning with anger, and she climbed up from the ground in a panic.
Mrs. Cao and the others originally wanted to go forward to help, but before they could make a move, the situation suddenly turned into what it is now. They were so shocked that their mouths widened.
Captain Meng’s young wife looks weak and fragile, like a little white flower, but I didn’t expect that she is so fierce in fighting!
Liu Cuiping fiddled with her messy hair and kept shouting:
"You bitch, you actually dared to attack me, I'm not done with you today!"
Yan Cuifen and Tian Lijuan hurried forward, each holding Liu Cuiping to prevent her from rushing over again.
Yan Cuifen frowned and said, "Liu Cuiping, have you had enough of making trouble? We are all military dependents, we will see each other every day, don't go too far!"
"That's right. You're causing trouble for Song Shishi for no reason and saying those nasty things. It would be strange if she didn't fight back!" Tian Lijuan also echoed.
...
...
Liu Cuiping did not hold back at all, she struggled and screamed:
"You are all in the same group. Now I am being beaten by her. What are you holding me for? Let me go!"
"If you don't mess with Captain Meng's wife, will she beat you?"
"What do you know! She is a vixen. There might be something fishy going on with Meng Xunzhou's position as battalion commander. Maybe he got it by clinging to her!"
Song Shishi was so angry that she was shaking all over. She sneered and said, "You are talking nonsense. I will teach you a lesson today. What should you say and what shouldn't you say!"
Song Shishi stepped forward, grabbed Liu Cuiping's hair, and made her lean backwards.
Seeing this, Yan Cuifen and Tian Lijuan also let go of their hands.
Song Shishi attacked Liu Cuiping's face left and right.
The crisp sound of applause echoed in the open-air cinema venue.
"Every time Meng Xunzhou was promoted, he fought for it with his life on the battlefield. If you dare to slander him again, I will never let you go!"
At this moment, a majestic voice came from outside the crowd: "What are you doing!"
Everyone turned around and saw Meng Xunzhou striding towards them with a dark face.
He had just returned from a mission and heard that there was a dispute at the open-air cinema, so he hurried over to check it out.
Seeing Meng Xunzhou, Liu Cuiping's arrogance instantly shrank by half, but she still stiffened her neck and said:
"Captain Meng, you've come at the right time. Take care of your wife. She's beating people up!"
Meng Xunzhou didn't even look at Liu Cuiping, he walked straight to Song Shishi and asked with concern:
"Shishi, are you okay?"
Seeing her shake her head slightly, he turned and looked at Liu Cuiping with a gaze as sharp as a knife.
He heard that someone in the military compound was bullying Song Shishi, so he rushed back.
"Sister Liu, as a military dependent, you openly caused trouble in the military dependents' courtyard and slandered others. Do you know that you are wrong?"
Liu Cuiping was frightened by his look, but she still insisted.
"I... I'm just telling the truth. She's a country girl, and she suddenly married you. Who knows what she was thinking!"
Meng Xunzhou sneered, "It's not your turn to comment on the relationship between me and Shishi. As for my promotion, every time there is a detailed record and the approval of my superiors. If you dare to make up rumors again, I will report the truth to my superiors and let the organization deal with you!"
Liu Cuiping's face turned pale. She didn't expect Meng Xunzhou to be so tough. She also realized that she might really get into big trouble today.
The military wives around her cast dissatisfied glances at her and whispered about her faults.
Mrs. Cao also came over and said softly to Liu Cuiping, "Cuiping, just admit your mistake. You were wrong today. Don't make trouble anymore."
Liu Cuiping gritted her teeth and remained silent for a long time. Finally, she muttered reluctantly: "It's my bad luck. I was too talkative today."
Meng Xunzhou looked at her and said coldly: "I hope you remember the lesson today and take care of yourself in the future."
After all, he had just been promoted. If the conflict with Deputy Battalion Commander Li's family became a big deal at this time, it would be inevitable that some people would have some opinions about him, making it inconvenient for him to manage the troops.
So giving a warning is considered to give face to Deputy Battalion Commander Li.
And this time Song Shishi didn't suffer any loss.
But if it happens again next time, Meng Xunzhou will definitely keep his word and will not let Liu Cuiping off easily.
After saying that, Meng Xunzhou took Song Shishi's hand and left in front of everyone.
After returning home, Meng Xunzhou gently hugged Song Shishi and said softly, "Shishi, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."
Song Shishi leaned in his arms and shook her head: "I'm fine, I'm just angry that she slandered you."
Meng Xunzhou touched her head and said with a smile: "I feel warm inside when you protect me. But if you encounter such things in the future, you should protect yourself first and don't be impulsive."
Song Shishi nodded, and the two hugged each other, feeling each other's warmth.
"Have you had dinner yet?"
Thinking that Meng Xunzhou has been busy in the army, I just saw him running back in a hurry, and I don’t know whether he has had dinner or not.
Meng Xunzhou gently pulled Song Shishi to sit on the edge of the bed, put his hands on her shoulders, leaned back slightly, and looked at her face carefully.
"I've eaten in the army. But you, I wasn't here. What did you eat tonight?"
"Mrs. Cao and the others said there was an outdoor movie, so I just ate a few bites."
Song Shishi coquettishly put her arms around Meng Xunzhou's waist and put her face on his chest.
Meng Xunzhou's eyes were full of tenderness and heartache.
"You must be exhausted today. I'll get you a basin of water so you can wash your face."
Without waiting for Song Shishi to answer, he walked quickly to the kitchen, and soon came in with a basin of steaming water.
He placed the basin on the stool beside the bed, then turned around and took the towel, gently soaked it, wrung it dry, and carefully wiped Song Shishi's cheek, his movements gentle as if he was treating a rare treasure.
"Shishi, tell me if the water is hot."
Meng Xunzhou wiped it while whispering instructions.
Song Shishi felt the warmth from his fingertips, her heart warmed, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
"Not hot, just right."
Looking at the man in front of her whose eyes were only filled with her, she suddenly felt that even the frustration she had over him dealing with some evil spirits in this military compound had disappeared at this moment.
After wiping her face, Meng Xunzhou sat down next to her and held her hand tightly in his palm, interlocking their fingers.
"Shishi, thank you for defending my reputation, but next time you encounter something like this, hide behind me and I will protect you."
His voice was low and firm, full of power.
Song Shishi leaned on his shoulder and said coquettishly: "I can protect you too. We are husband and wife, we should face it together."
Meng Xunzhou couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
He tilted his head and placed a kiss on her hair: "Okay, let's face it together."
Meng Xunzhou went to get some hot water for Song Shishi to soak her feet.
After a while, Meng Xunzhou suddenly remembered something. He wiped the water stains on his hands, stood up and walked to the cabinet, and took out an exquisite little box.
"Shishi, look what this is."
He smiled and handed the box to her.
Song Shishi took it doubtfully, and when she opened it, she saw a piece of Shanghai brand vanishing cream and a pair of exquisite enamel earrings.
"Did you buy this for me?" She looked up at him in surprise.
Meng Xunzhou nodded gently: "Yes, I saw it when I passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, and I thought that this vanishing cream would be very suitable for you, and these earrings would also suit you."
Song Shishi picked up the vanishing cream, sniffed it gently, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
"I like it very much, thank you, Xunzhou."
She picked up the earrings and gestured to her ears, "Does it look good?"
Meng Xunzhou looked at her with love in his eyes: "It looks good. My wife looks good in anything she wears."
