Chapter 48

It was indeed a misunderstanding. Otherwise, if it was true, it would not have had an impact on Captain Zhao's career.

Qiao Wei said, "Brother Zhao, don't be angry. It's useless to be angry now. First, we need to find out who is spreading this rumor. Second, how widely is this rumor spread, how many people know about it, and how many people believe it to be true?"

The most important thing now is the word "impact".

This is about career. The four of them became serious.

"Xiao Qiao is right." Captain Zhao had a new impression of Qiao Wei for the first time. He felt that intellectuals speak clearly and have a clear mind.

"There is another thing that I find strange." Qiao Wei said.

"What?" Captain Zhao asked.

Qiao Wei asked: "Did the commander's daughter come to the army under an assumed name? Why did Old Yan know her, but no one else? If anyone who said this could clearly say that the girl mentioned here is the commander's daughter, no one would spread rumors, right?"

Just like Lin Xixi, of course she is also a grown-up girl, but she is the niece of Captain Zhao. Without a matchmaker between her and Yan Lei, Yan Lei would see her as an elder looking at a younger person.

No one would make random assumptions.

Whoever makes random assumptions has dirty thoughts.

Captain Zhao's face suddenly turned dark, and he gritted his teeth: "Who is this bastard! Tell me to find him..."

Qiao Wei said: "We must find this person, find this person, and let him explain why he spread the rumor. If we can't find him, and the rumor spreads, you will have to explain yourself. I'm afraid that by then, you won't be able to explain yourself clearly."

Sister Yang nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes!"

She said: "Leave it to me! I must find this foul-mouthed and black-hearted person."

Qiao Wei said: "Find her out, let her explain it to everyone, and let her apologize to you. This is what she should do. But what impact will this matter have in the army? Do we need to do something?" As

she spoke, she looked at Yan Lei.

Because she had been speaking clearly, Yan Lei had not interrupted her. Now she looked at him with bright eyes, as if expecting something.

What was she expecting?

"We can't just let it go. Who can feel at ease with a comrade who stabs you in the back?" Yan Lei said, "First find the person, and then drag him to Commander Pan." After

Yan Lei finished speaking, he met Qiao Wei's eyes again and saw the smile in her eyes.

One knew the future and felt that this matter must be handled cleanly to avoid being used against him in the special era in the future. The other

was the male protagonist who always behaved like a man who would not offend anyone unless they offended him, but would kill anyone who offended him.

The couple actually understood each other.

On the contrary, Captain Zhao and Sister Yang were a little hesitant: "Are you going to make trouble in front of Teacher Pan?"

Qiao Wei looked at Yan Lei again.

Yan Lei winked at her.

You are good at talking, so say more.

Qiao Wei said: "To ruin someone's future is like killing his own father."

"Besides, you, a grown man, must be angry after hearing this. Commander Pan's daughter is a grown-up girl, and the army is full of men. She just arrived and was rumored to have such things. You shouldn't tell her father. Why should such a good daughter be slandered?"

Sister Yang is also a woman, and she herself has a daughter. She immediately said, "That's right, she is a daughter of a rich family!"

Now, Captain Zhao no longer hesitated: "Okay, that's it. He is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."

He looked at his wife. Sister Yang lost the clue in a panic in the morning, and now she patted her chest and promised, "Leave it to me."

She said, "Xiao Qiao, come with me to catch the man tomorrow!"

There was no TV, no internet, and even no books to read. There were too few entertainment activities.

Suddenly, the excitement came from nowhere. The immersive experience cheered up Qiao Wei: "Okay!"

...

...

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..." Qiao Wei whispered, "My legs are numb..."

Sister Yang lowered her voice: "Just bear with it, you will definitely catch him."

Qiao Wei regretted it.

She never thought that Sister Yang would pat her chest and guarantee that she would definitely catch someone in this way. She never thought

that Sister Yang would ask her to take off her pants and squat naked in the public toilet in the compound to wait for the prey.

You have to know that in the era without electronic entertainment, there were no otakus and nymphomaniacs, and people paid great attention to socializing.

The three main places for socializing: vegetable markets, bathhouses, and public toilets.

Although the new military compound is all red brick and tiled, it also has a shortcoming - unlike the old military area, each courtyard has a hand-operated well and a small dry toilet.

Here it is all unified.

Although there is running water, it does not enter the house, but is unified outdoors, with several large rows of double-sided pools.

Then there are the toilets, which are also unified public toilets. No matter whether it is dark or raining, anyone who wants to poop has to go to the public toilet.

This makes this an important gossip distribution center for everyone.

Sister Yang took Qiao Wei to squat together.

Qiao Wei was not afraid of squatting side by side with others with their bare butts, squatting in pits next to each other. But after squatting for a long time, the legs are really numb.

Qiao Wei grimaced.

Sometimes her center of gravity shifted to the left, sometimes to the right.

She was still worried about the children: "Are the children okay outside?"

"No, Xixi is watching. There are slides and swivel chairs here, and they are having a lot of fun."

One advantage of the military compound is that it is closed and people from outside cannot get in. Although Qiao Wei and her friends do not live here, they have passes, so they can come in at will.

"I think you too, you should let the children go out and play more often. They are almost four years old, and you still don't let go." Sister Yang said.

Qiao Wei was silent.

Although she had never given birth to a child, she knew that in later generations no one dared to let go of a four-year-old child. In big cities, elementary school students must be picked up by their parents unless they live next to the school.

But in this era...military boys at the age of five really act like no one is watching them, running around everywhere on their own.

Yan Xiang only follows Qiao Wei every day and never leaves the yard alone.

"What's there to be afraid of? She knows her home and she won't get lost." Sister Yang said with a sigh.

Indeed, you need a letter of introduction to go out now. When Lin Xixi came to live with her uncle, she needed a letter of introduction from the commune to buy a long-distance bus ticket.

The flow of people is strictly controlled, and human traffickers have no basis for survival.

The biggest dangers here are electric wires and rivers. Those who get into accidents are either electrocuted or drowned.

"We still have to let Xiangxiang play with other children more. I just see that Xiangxiang is too quiet... Huh——" Sister Yang stopped talking.

Two people came in and glanced at the people inside.

Sister Yang squatted in the innermost pit, with her face turned away, so that no one could see who she was.

Qiao Wei squatted outside her to block her.

The two of them ignored Qiao Wei when they saw that they were not very familiar with her. They just unbuttoned their pants and squatted down to chat.

Qiao Wei listened with great interest.

It's true that the public toilet, a gathering place for gossip, can really play the role of entertainment.

It's just that squatting makes your legs numb.

After all the hard work, Qiao Wei and Sister Yang finally heard the name of Captain Zhao.

"Which Captain Zhao?"

"Zhao Dongsheng, the one who lives in the old district. His wife's surname is Yang, and they have five children."

"Oh, that Zhao. What happened to him?"

"I heard that he was flirting with the new female soldier..."

Sister Yang's legs were also numb.

When she heard about Captain Zhao, she was excited and ready to pull up her pants to catch him, but her body tilted and she almost fell into the pit. Fortunately, Qiao Wei helped her.

Qiao Wei asked with her mouth: Do you know him?

Sister Yang nodded.

Qiao Wei shook her head lightly, indicating: Then there is no need to rush.

Sister Yang nodded.

After the two men left, Sister Yang and Qiao Wei stood up painfully, pulled up their pants, and almost dragged their numb legs out of the public toilet.

Qiao Wei went straight to the sink. Sister Yang didn't know what she was going to do, so she followed her despite the numbness.

It turned out that Qiao Wei had targeted several family members who were washing clothes. She picked one who looked white and clean, and borrowed soap to wash her hands.

Sister Yang: "..."

I thought she was here to catch someone.

The two of them moved around in place for a while with their teeth bared. Their legs were so numb that it took a while for the blood circulation to recover.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

Sister Yang took Qiao Wei and went to catch someone in a heroic and arrogant manner. They went directly to the house of the woman who spread gossip in the public toilet just now.

When they saw the man, Sister Yang said, "I just heard you making up a rumor about our Lao Zhao in the toilet!"

Of course, no one was willing to take the blame, and the man said, "I heard it from Lao Yu's wife."

So they caught her and killed her at the home of the cadre surnamed Yu. Cadre Yu's wife also blamed him, "Lao Ding's wife told me."

In the end, Sister Yang and Qiao Wei, along with four or five family members, finally traced the source of the rumor.

"It turned out to be you! I was wondering who was so foul-mouthed and black-hearted, it turned out to be you, the shameless liar who is hated by everyone! "

Sister Yang faced the source of the rumor, with her hands on her hips and glaring.

It turned out to be an old enemy.

Qiao Wei actually knew that person, and he even occupied a place in the original owner's memory.

Her husband's surname was Fan, and he was at the level of a group leader like Zhao Dongsheng and Yan Lei. Her own surname was Xia, and her name was Xia Hehua.

This Xia Hehua used to be a teacher in the kindergarten of the compound.

At that time, Sister Yang was pregnant with Wu Ni'er and Junzi. She also had to take care of the family's meals, hygiene and housework. Seeing that other people's children were sent to the nursery, Group Leader Zhao suggested sending Junzi as well. .

Children in the countryside have always been raised by themselves, and it would be better if someone was watching them here. Sister Yang also agreed to reduce the burden on herself.

But at that time, Xia Hehua was a teacher in a kindergarten, and her own child was also in the kindergarten.

One day, Sister Yang came to the compound to pick up Junzi, and saw that half of Junzi's face was swollen. It was obvious that it was not caused by a child. Children can bite and scratch, but they don't have such great strength to make other children's faces swollen.

Children can be raised by themselves but they cannot be bullied. Sister Yang stopped on the spot.

When questioned, Junzi said: "Teacher Xia hit me in the face. "

After asking other teachers, it turned out that Junzi and Xia Hehua's child were fighting over a toy. The child couldn't get the toy from Junzi and started crying, so Xia Hehua came over and slapped Junzi in the face.

It wasn't the first time she did this. Because she protected her children, her children were domineering in the kindergarten, and everyone had complaints. Some people had quarreled and scolded her in the past, and pulled each other's hair and slapped each other's faces.

But this time it got bigger, because Xia Hehua was unreasonable and pushed Sister Yang, who almost had a miscarriage.

Wu Ni'er almost died.

This was a big deal, and the head teacher had been worried about Xia Hehua for a long time, so he took the opportunity to let Xia Hehua go home and take care of the child herself.

At this time, the original owner Qiao Weiwei came to see The situation in the kindergarten, not only did she see teachers chewing up food and feeding children mouth to mouth, she saw a child poop in the crotch and the teacher didn't clean up in time, she also saw Xia Hehua protecting other people's children.

She remembered Xia Hehua.

Xia Hehua felt guilty, and when she saw Sister Yang bringing so many people to find her, she knew that she was outnumbered and would definitely not be able to win the argument, so she cursed while pushing Sister Yang out and slammed the door.

Sister Yang was so angry that she jumped up and was about to curse again, but Qiao Weiwei grabbed her, winked at her, and raised her chin to those who followed and spread gossip, and those who were attracted to the outside to watch the excitement.

Xia Hehua couldn't run away anyway, and even if she ran away, her man couldn't run away

. Let those people who spread gossip know the truth first.
