Tian Chunhua came to Chen's house, sat for a while, drank a glass of water, and briefly talked about her visit to the infirmary to see Cao Rou early in the morning and Cao Rou's condition.
Although Cao Rou broke a finger, it was not a serious matter, but it cost a lot of money.
Originally, Cao Rou could have left the infirmary yesterday, but Cao Rou stayed in the infirmary and refused to leave, demanding that she pay compensation, and even said that she had to pay one hundred yuan.
One hundred yuan is really too much. You know, her monthly salary is only twenty or thirty yuan. How much money is one hundred yuan?
Tian Chunhua felt a little sympathy for Chen Tuan's family and advised her to go to the infirmary to see the doctor and apologize. Cao Rou didn't want her to pay so much, so they made a big deal out of a small matter.
When Shuying heard that Cao Rou wanted her to pay a hundred yuan, she sneered in her heart.
Yesterday, the rumors about her child involving her man had not spread everywhere, so she didn't mind if she was asked to pay some money. But this morning, rumors about her child involving her man were everywhere. Shuying now regretted not slapping her a few more times yesterday and letting her talk nonsense.
It's impossible to ask her to pay a penny now.
Tian Chunhua tried to persuade them a few times, but seeing that Chen Tuan's family remained unmoved, she did not say much. After all, she was not very familiar with Chen Tuan's wife, so after sitting for a while, she found an excuse to leave.
Shuying had no intention of going to the infirmary to see Cao Rou, but she still thanked Captain Wang's family for the favor and went to pick up her child yesterday. If it weren't for Captain Wang's family protecting her child, her child would most likely have been bullied even worse by Cao Rou.
When seeing her off, Shuying politely asked her to come to her house more often when she had time in the future.
After seeing off Captain Wang's family, Shuying returned to the yard to continue drying the bedding. The weather was good today, with a clear sky, unlike the previous few days when it had continuous drizzle.
When drying the bedding, Chen Yi came back from Gao's house and ran behind Shuying, following him like a little tail. He quickly finished eating the shaqima in his hand, washed his hands, and then ran over to follow Shuying into the house, running around and helping to dry the bedding.
Shuying asked the child to play, but Chen Yi ignored him and helped to carry the bedding to the yard to dry in the sun.
The bedding was quite heavy, weighing about six or seven pounds. Chen Yi was grunting while holding the baby, his face red from tiredness. Shuying could see that the child didn't feel safe, so he didn't reject his kindness.
Shuying dried the bedding, bent down to brush the crumbs off the child's clothes, rubbed the little boy's head, pulled him in front of him, half hugged him and asked, "Why don't you go to Gao's house to play?"
Chen Yi pursed her lips, shook her head and kicked the pebbles to show that she didn't want to go.
Well, if you don’t want to go, then don’t go: “Then let’s go weed the fields with Auntie later?”
At the beginning of this year, her family was also allocated land. At first, she didn't want to farm, but she learned from Mrs. Gao that every household in the military area now farms.
Although men who serve in the army receive monthly wages and ration coupons, some families with large populations who do not have enough food can apply to farm.
After all, food was tight in every household now, and no one would complain about giving up too much food. Shuying followed the crowd and applied for land, but she had a job, so she only applied for a few acres of land.
Shu Ying, who had never planted anything at home, was lucky to have her man help her plow the ground. She usually buried the seeds and weeded them.
Chen Yi immediately nodded happily and agreed.
When Shuying was weeding the fields with his child carrying a winnowing basket and passed by Gao's house, he was stopped by the three Gao brothers and Liang Goudan.
Gao Zhi ran the fastest. After politely calling out "Auntie Yang," he took Chen Yi's hand and asked, "Brother, we were having fun just now. Why did you suddenly go back?"
They were playing hide-and-seek just now, and Gao Zhi was looking for someone. He searched for a long time but couldn't find Chen Yi. Now he realized that Chen Yi had returned to his yard.
Gao Xiang, Gao Yuan, Liang Goudan and a few others also chattered and asked Chen Yi.
Chen Yi said coldly that he didn't want to play anymore and he wanted to go pull weeds.
"What's so fun about pulling weeds?" Liang Goudan asked first, saying that his family had a field and his mother had taken him there to pull weeds, but it was very tiring and not fun at all.
The three brothers of the Gao family had helped Mrs. Gao with farm work many times before, and they all said that weeding was not fun and was very tiring.
Shuying was not at all annoyed by the chattering of the children. Instead, she found it quite interesting. Especially when she saw that the children were willing to play with her own children and were not affected by the rumors, she felt temporarily relieved.
Chen Yi insisted on pulling weeds instead of playing with them, and even puffed up his cheeks and said, "I'm not afraid of getting tired!"
Gao Yuan walked up to Shuying at this time, held her calf and tilted his head back and said, "Aunt Yang, what was that thing you asked the boss to give me just now? Why is it so delicious? It smells so good! My mouth is still fragrant now. Aunt Yang, do you want to smell it?"
Although Gao Zhigao complained to the two brothers that their younger brother was too greedy, he also agreed that the food that Chen Yi's younger brother had just brought them was really delicious!
They had never eaten anything so delicious before, and they liked it even more than the potato chips they had last time.
The two brothers were particularly jealous of Chen Yi.
However, Gao Xiang was a little disgusted with his brother and said, "Third brother, you don't even like to brush your teeth, your mouth must stink, and Aunt Yang doesn't like the smell!"
Chen Yi felt a little insecure and didn't want Gao Yuan to get too close to Shuying. He pried Gao Yuan's hands apart and hugged his aunt with his whole body, acting as if his aunt was his and hers alone.
Gao Yuan almost jumped up in anger at his second brother's words, but he didn't care about Chen Yi's behavior. The two brothers were quarreling, and Shuying found it quite interesting.
Liang Goudan had just tasted the shaqima and loved it. He walked up to Shuying and asked her if she could tell him how to make it. He wanted to eat a lot more.
Thinking about the crispy, fragrant and sweet taste of shaqima, Liang Goudan was drooling. Aunt Chen Yi was really amazing.
How come you are so good at making delicious food?
Liang Goudan shouldn’t be too envious when he sees Chen Yi’s expression.
Shuying agreed to Liang Goudan's small request and told Liang Goudan and the three brothers of the Gao family that they could go to her house if they wanted to learn, but it would be a bit more fuel-intensive.
When they heard that it would waste oil, the children's faces immediately became troubled. The three brothers of the Gao family had just saved their money to let their mother learn from Aunt Yang to make delicious shaqima for them, but when they heard that it would waste oil, Gao Zhigao gave up the idea. Their mother was reluctant to waste oil on cooking, let alone waste oil on making delicious food for them.
Gao Yuan still fantasized about his mother making delicious food for him.
Liang Goudan's face was also a little wrinkled, and Shuying laughed at this and pinched Liang Goudan's face.
Shuying didn't have time to play with the other children. Seeing that her own child insisted on going with her to weed the fields, she talked to the children and left with them.
After walking for a while, Chen Yi suddenly said, "Auntie, my mouth smells so good. I brush my teeth every day. Do you want to smell it?"
Tree Shadow: “…”
"Auntie, my face is so chubby, it's nice to be pinched, do you want to pinch it?" Chen Yi said as he looked up at her cautiously, "I'll only let you pinch it!"
But Shuying's heart softened. She smelled his sweet little mouth and pinched his little face as the child wished. Chen Yi's tightly pursed little mouth relaxed and revealed a bright smile.
The adult and the child went to pull out weeds in a good mood, but Cao Rou, who had her fingers broken and was sent to the infirmary, was in a particularly gloomy mood.
Last night she cried to her husband about how Chen Tuan's wife bullied her, but it did not reduce her anger and resentment in the slightest.
She remembered that yesterday Yang Shuying slapped her in the face and broke one of her fingers without giving her any face. When the finger was broken, she almost fainted from the pain.
Cao Rou really didn't expect that Yang Shuying was such a vicious woman?
Cao Rou made up her mind that if the Chen family didn't compensate her a hundred yuan this time, she would never let this matter go easily.
In the infirmary, Cao Rou looked weak and cried to the female military doctor who treated her about how vicious Yang Shuying was. The female military doctor named Song Minglan was also angry on her behalf. When she went to the pharmacy to get medicine, Song Minglan complained to her colleagues about why Chen Tuan married such a vicious woman?
Several of Song Minglan's colleagues do not approve of her involvement with other people. We cannot just listen to one person's one-sided opinion to understand what is going on.
However, Song Minglan said, "I think the people in Captain Lu's family are pretty good!" She expressed with pity that such a vicious female comrade was not worthy of Chen Tuan.
Cao Rou's plan was good, but at noon, Captain Lu came to pick her up from the infirmary and took the initiative to pay more than ten yuan for the medical expenses. He said that he would take her to Chen's house to apologize later and asked her to be more sincere.
Cao Rou felt like she was struck by lightning when she heard the news.
She is still waiting for the Chen family to pay compensation, apologize and pay for the medical expenses. Why should she, who was injured and beaten, apologize to Yang Shuying?
Cao Rouqi was so angry that her heart and lungs exploded and she felt like vomiting blood. She started to cry on the spot.
Captain Lu told her to stop making trouble and told her that Chen Tuan had talked to him in the morning.
Just yesterday, he learned that his wife was sent to the infirmary and one of her fingers was broken. He learned that it was Chen Tuan's wife who did it. His wife kept crying to him about how vicious Chen Tuan's wife was. Captain Lu only listened to his wife's one-sided story and also felt that Chen Tuan's wife was too vicious and had a very bad impression of Chen Tuan's wife.
However, when Chen Tuan came to see him today, he found out what had happened and learned that it was caused by his wife slapping Chen Yi's child first and then putting a false accusation on the child.
Captain Lu knew very well that people could make whatever noises they wanted outside, but the military region had clear regulations prohibiting random accusations. His wife even made random accusations against a few-year-old child, which made Captain Lu feel ashamed.
No wonder when he asked her what happened last night, his wife just cried and didn't tell him what happened.
This matter is not a big deal now, but if it is reported to Commander Zhou, it will be even more difficult to deal with. Captain Lu is not confident, and this year is a critical period for him. He is afraid that his wife will ruin his future, so he is determined to bring people to apologize.
It was almost noon when Cao came back with the children. Captain Lu and Cao Rou waited outside the gate of the Chen family courtyard for a long time.
Gao Tuan was talking to Captain Lu. Cao Rou looked very pale and ugly, and the redness and swelling on the right side of her face was much more serious than Chen Yi's.
You can imagine how much force Shuying used to hit someone yesterday!
"Oh, my sister-in-law is back. Xiaolu, you and your wife don't have anything to say to my sister-in-law. Go ahead and tell her. I'm going back first."
Gao Tuanzhi left without hesitation, and Captain Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
Shuying greeted Gaotuan and let the child go into his yard first.
Since they were at the Chen family's doorstep, Captain Lu did not act awkwardly. He took his wife to apologize calmly and said that he had just understood the whole story and it was all his wife's fault. She didn't have to pay for any medical expenses. His wife would take the initiative to clarify the rumors in the future. He hoped that the matter could be resolved from a big matter to a small one, as long as she didn't care about it.
Captain Lu's attitude in apologizing was quite proper, and Shu Ying was quite fond of him. However, after hearing Captain Lu's apology, Cao Rou and the others looked particularly ugly with their faces turning pale. They covered their chests and looked like they were about to faint.
