"Comrade Qin, rest assured, Comrade Li has been unharmed."
"She is a resourceful, brave, and adaptable comrade."
"After being kidnapped by these two men, I used my wit to keep them calm and pretended to be dealing with a tiger for its skin. I tricked these two villains into going into the courtyard and was able to escape."
Qin Xiangxiang felt a tightness in her chest and gritted her teeth, saying, "Thank goodness, thank goodness, otherwise I wouldn't know how to repent."
"Captain Luo, these two dared to do such a thing, they must not be let off easily. I suggest making an example of them to warn others, and punishing them severely."
Qin Xiangxiang was furious but had nowhere to vent her anger. These two good-for-nothings were like a piece of fat meat placed in front of them, yet they didn't know how to bite it. They even got tricked into coming to the military compound. What was the point of living for such idiots?
Fortunately, she did it discreetly. Even if it had been exposed to the public, it was just a momentary lapse in judgment where she complained a few times and was taken advantage of by bad people.
After leaving the security company, Qin Xiangxiang's fake smile could no longer be maintained, and her lips drooped instantly.
That old hag is really tough; she's unharmed after all that.
It seems we need to think of other ways. One stroke of good luck can't last forever, she refused to believe it.
The speed at which gossip spreads in the compound is comparable to that in the countryside.
As Qin Xiangxiang walked from afar, she saw a group of family members gathered together in the pavilion, chattering away.
"You wouldn't believe how scared I was; my mind went completely blank."
"Oh my, that's terrifying. If I woke up in the middle of the night and there was someone squatting by my bedside, my soul would fly away on the spot."
"Sister Li, and then what? And then what?"
Li Yueniang waved her hand and said, "I'll come to my senses right away. I need to stay calm."
"That thug held a knife to my chin and asked me where the money was..."
...
"Not many people know about this, only Su Yi's family and I know about it."
"Sister Li, is there even a question? It must have been Qin Xiangxiang who did it. Don't let her gentle and weak appearance fool you; she's very cunning. You should be careful around her."
"Yes, yes, this is terrible! We must get Captain Luo to find out if it was that wicked person who did this."
"Sigh, that's what I thought at first too, but then I realized that Xiangxiang isn't that bad."
"Oh, Sister Li, you're just too kind."
Qin Xiangxiang walked over and noticed that the voice sounded a bit off. Why did it sound like Li Yueniang?
And the person they were talking about was themselves.
She quickly pushed through the crowd and went inside.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch~"
"They're here, they're here."
A woman nudged Zhang Guofen with her shoulder, gestured with her lip, and then stepped aside.
The military dependents in the military dependents' compound are now roughly divided into three factions.
The group consists of city dwellers and those from the countryside. The city dwellers are further divided into two factions: one is the newcomers like Qin Xiangxiang who genuinely love to climb the social ladder, while the other is a small, neutral group formed by the original wives.
Another group consisted of the original wives from the countryside, led by Zhang Guofen.
She has little education and no job, is proud but incompetent, always feels that everyone looks down on her, and acts like she is a talented but unappreciated person.
With nothing better to do, they found fault with everyone and, unable to find any rivals, focused their main firepower on Qin Xiangxiang and her group.
On one hand, I look down on you for being uncultured, unsophisticated, and rude; on the other hand, I look down on you for breaking up families, becoming mistresses, and constantly seducing men with your flirtatious and provocative behavior.
Zhang Guofen turned around and exclaimed, "Oh, the main character has arrived!"
"That's it? Why weren't they arrested?"
Qin Xiangxiang immediately understood what she meant, "Zhang Guofen, what do you mean?"
"Isn't it obvious what I mean? Those bad guys have admitted that the head nurse at the hospital told them something, and that's why they had those ideas."
"I think you might be the one trying to kill Sister Li!"
"That's slander! You're making baseless accusations!"
"I went to the security company just now because of this. I'm innocent. Those two overheard me talking to Yanmei and got ulterior motives! It has nothing to do with me. Even if it does, it's because I shouldn't have talked about family matters outside!"
"I was used!"
"Captain Luo has already criticized and educated me, and I know I was wrong. Please don't stir up trouble here."
"We're all colleagues in the same department, why are you being so aggressive?"
Zhang Guofen snorted coldly, "You speak so nicely, and you keep uttering four-word phrases at a time."
"What if I don't know how?"
"Listen to me carefully, you are the one who harms people!"
"After all your explanations, why don't you just tell us whether Sister Li's suffering was because of you?"
"Sister Li, aren't you right?"
Li Yueniang was enjoying the play when Zhang Guofen suddenly handed her a cannon.
"Cough cough~"
"Actually, I don't think Xiangxiang is that kind of person."
"When we were young, we may have argued and fought, but now that we're older, we've both become more detached, and our relationship has actually improved."
"You all know about what happened last year."
"Both Su Yi and Xiangxiang promised the chief of staff that they would treat me like their own mother. I now receive a pension of over eighty yuan from Su Yi every month."
"Xiangxiang didn't say anything, did she? She's actually quite nice to me."
"On New Year's Eve, Xiangxiang worked hard to prepare a big table of dishes, and we even celebrated the New Year together!"
"So I think it might really be a misunderstanding!"
Qin Xiangxiang was surprised that Li Yueniang would speak up for her in public, and she quickly nodded.
