Chapter 265: Things Going Out of Control
The second regiment political commissar wanted to say something, but Chen Tang ignored him. "You have all received literacy classes. You just say whatever others say. Can't you hear something wrong with such obvious rumors? If I really abandoned the child, would I leave him at my aunt's house to take care of him?
You know clearly that these words are unbelievable, but you still say them in front of your children, hurting their young hearts to satisfy your own pleasure. Is this the character of you as an elder and a military wife?"
"We just said a few words. Everyone says so. What's wrong with me saying a few words?"
"That's right. Won't the rumors be broken when you come back? It's no big deal. We've talked about this before and have seen you make such a fuss before."
Chen Tang's eyes were slightly cold, and he said loudly: "So, you all think that the law does not punish everyone, so you can slander and spread rumors at will, destroy the young hearts of children, and slander the innocence of a woman. When you find that you have done something wrong, you just say that everyone says so, and you can just pretend that nothing happened?"
"You don't even know you've done anything wrong, because every time you spread rumors, there's no cost or punishment, and you think everyone can play with you at will, and everyone lives by your stinky mouths!"
"Political Commissar, you see, is there anyone among these people who truly knows that he is wrong?"
"If I just expose it lightly today, they won't realize their mistake and will go and make up rumors about the next person! Maybe it's your wife, or someone else's child. As long as they catch one of them, they will keep throwing dirty water on them and force them to death!"
"But at the root of it all, if you ask them why they do this, they'll just say they're bored in their free time!"
Chen Tang was well-known in the family compound for his eloquence. After a few words, the political commissar of the Second Regiment was almost depressed: "Forget it, I won't say anything. Since you have decided, just do it."
The rumormongers are all unemployed old ladies who get together every day to talk about this and that.
Even if he was reprimanded, he would not know that he was wrong, and would scold Shen Tang for being petty and for not taking action as the political commissar.
He was too lazy to pay attention to these people.
There are so many sensible sisters-in-law in the family compound, why does he have to help those foul-mouthed ones?
Chen Tang dropped the carrying pole, picked up the child and prepared to leave Tian Xiaotian's house.
Everyone looked at her strangely.
Chen Tang stood straight with his back straight, showing no fear at all.
Su Xiaoxiao, who was standing at the door, suddenly said, “Well done, Shen Tang, I’ll remember these people for you today.”
Lin Xiao dropped the hoe and walked out like nothing had happened. He came close to Li Hong and smiled, "That hoe was thrown just right."
Li Hong raised the corners of her lips proudly: "She is too weak. I will use the hoe to hit her and see if she is not disabled."
Lin Xiao rolled her eyes at her: "It would be a big deal if he was really beaten to a disability. I said I can control it better."
Little He Zhi, who was lying on Shen Tang's shoulder, seemed to have won a battle. He was so happy that he even praised her in her ear: "Mom is the best."
Chen Tang raised his chin and straightened his back: "Of course."
Seeing this, the others dispersed quietly.
This matter became a big deal. No one who had said that Chen Tang was seduced by a wild man dared to jump out to stop her at this time, and those who had not said anything bad about her did not dare to approach her.
Except for Chen Tang's friends, everyone thought that Chen Tang was going too far.
Everyone thought that it was just a few gossips behind people's backs, so how could it become such a big deal?
Hasn't Chen Tang himself ever spread rumors behind people's backs?
Tian Xiaotian's face was bruised and swollen from the beating she received, but she was still thinking about Chen Tang in her heart, but it was just talk.
As soon as he saw them leaving, he spanked his youngest son on the butt several times until he cried loudly.
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao said coldly: "That's enough, don't you think it's not chaotic enough? If it weren't for your mouth, this family wouldn't be in such a mess!"
Tian Xiaotian was furious: "Is that my fault? I just said a few words, who knew your son would spread the news at home? Is this home just for me? You don't care about it and you blame me!"
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao was too lazy to talk to her.
Tian Xiaotian was scared and followed him and asked, "What if Chen Tang really reports it?"
There is no example of the military region requiring a group to write a self-criticism for spreading rumors.
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao felt a little uneasy, but he didn't take it seriously: "It should be fine. It's just a few words. How can it be serious?"
Tian Xiaotian thinks so too.
Not only did she think so, but those who had spread rumors about Chen Tang also thought so.
The law does not hold everyone responsible.
They are not the only ones saying this.
Even if the sky falls, Commander Zhu’s niece will still be there to hold it up.
Liu Jia was no longer in the mood to watch the show.
She said that without thinking about the consequences.
There is no adult in the village who has not teased children like this.
When a couple quarrels, the woman goes back to her parents' home. The child will cry if he can't see his mother for a while, and people he meets will say: Your mother doesn't want you anymore.
She was not wrong. It has been such a long time since we found Captain He. Doesn't that mean he has sacrificed himself?
She just said a few more words, saying that her mother didn't want him anymore, but who would have thought that He Zhi would actually bump into her.
This was even heard by people passing by, who added fuel to the fire and spread the news widely.
She regretted it in her heart, but the rumor spread like wildfire and everyone knew about it in an instant. She was so scared that she didn't dare to come out and clarify it.
Why did Chen Tang come back?
If she hadn't come back, wouldn't the rumor have been confirmed?
Liu Jia was extremely scared, but at the same time he comforted himself that he was just saying it casually and it was just a guess within a reasonable range, and it was those people who were talking more and more outrageous.
Maybe, Chen Tang was just talking and would not report it at all?
In the evening, my aunt killed a chicken, stewed a pot of noodles, and asked Chen Tang to come over with the child for dinner.
Little Hezhi was very happy today. He was shaking his little feet and didn't need to be fed. After eating one bowl, he asked for another.
Zhou Ling couldn't stop smiling.
"This child hasn't had a good meal since you left."
Chen Tang touched He Zhi's head and said, "Then you have to fill your stomach today."
He Zhi nodded heavily: "Baby knows."
Political Commissar Fang frowned: "Tangtang, do you really want to report it?"
Before Chen Tang could say anything, Zhou Ling spoke up: "Of course I have to go. You work every day, and you don't know how much they say. I tell you, even if Tang Tang doesn't care about it this time, I will care about it too. Do you think we are just eating dry food in the Zhou family?"
Zhou Ling is the director of the Women's Federation. She has dealt with this matter before, but even if she fined people, it wouldn't stop the rumors.
She wanted to wait for Chen Tang to come back and debunk the rumor. By then, even if she didn't become the director of the Women's Federation, she would punish those who gossiped.
Now Shen Tang wants to solve it himself, and she fully agrees.
At worst, I can just stop being the director of the Women’s Federation.
For that little bit of salary, she was annoyed by all the trivial things happening in the family compound every day.
The younger military wives are easier to control, but none of the older ladies are easy to deal with.
Not only does he act domineeringly at home and treat his daughter-in-law like a servant, he even spoils his children like a nobody.
Zhou Ling couldn't understand why she had to compete with Xu Mei for the position of director of the Women's Federation.
Well, she is still a little too enthusiastic.
Political Commissar Fang sighed: "If things get out of hand, it will be bad for our military region."
Zhou Ling rolled her eyes and snatched the porcelain enamel cup from his hand: "I think it's not good for you."
Political Commissar Fang couldn't eat without tea. He looked at her aggrievedly: "You're talking about yourself. I just said a few words and you got angry again."
Zhou Ling snorted and put some meat in Chen Tang’s bowl: “Eat more, you’ve lost weight.”
Political Commissar Fang took a few bites of rice and said casually, "This report is too small and no one cares about it."
On the other hand, if the writing is too serious, people will take care of it immediately.
Shen Tang grinned: "Thank you, uncle."
Political Commissar Fang put his hands in his pockets: "Thank you for what? I didn't say anything."
Zhou Ling curled the corners of her lips and poured a pot of tea and placed it next to Political Commissar Fang.
The other cousins exchanged glances with each other.
My cousin just came back, so she definitely doesn’t know as much as they do.
After dinner, go back and write down a list of all the people who gossiped about you.
