Chapter 270 Report and Sentence
After Lin Xiao informed Chen Tang, they went to the front to watch the excitement.
Liu Jia, Tian Xiaotian, and several old ladies who had been spreading rumors about her were all taken away.
Tian Xiaotian grabbed the door tightly, tears flying down her face. The children in the house were also in a mess, crying so loudly that it was deafening.
"I know I was wrong, I don't want to go, I don't want to go to jail, please let me go, I know I was wrong, isn't it enough for me to apologize?"
The two men standing nearby had already watched the situation. One of the men forcibly pried her hands apart, handcuffed her and forcibly took her away.
There were several other old ladies who cried even more miserably than Tian Xiaotian. They loved gossiping about others and especially loved stealing food from other people's homes. One of them was the mother of Battalion Commander Zhang, who was engaged to Lin Xiao.
These people were notoriously shameless and talkative in the family compound. After they were arrested, many young women said harshly, "It's what they deserve."
You don't know how to control your mouth, and now you are getting the retribution.
Not long after Liu Jia was taken away, Commander Zhu called Chen Tang over.
Chen Tang knew that Master Zhu was likely going to reconcile, and she just wanted to know the punishment for those people, so she let the child go out to play with her friends and went to Master Zhu's house.
Aunt Liu saw her coming and blocked the door: "What are you doing here? Don't you think you haven't made my Jiajia miserable enough?"
Commander Zhu came out, feeling very upset: "Okay, I'll let them come."
Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at her and moved out of the way.
The main room was cleaned. Master Zhu sat on a darkened bench and asked Aunt Liu to pour a cup of tea and place it in front of Chen Tang.
Aunt Liu was reluctant, but she still poured a bowl of boiled water on the table with a cold face.
“Comrade Shen, during the time I came to the military region, I have been busy with the most important things at hand and have not paid much attention to the conflicts in the family compound. If you have been wronged, just tell me.”
Chen Tang pursed his lips and smiled, as if he didn't hear what Master Zhu said: "Master, you are too polite. I haven't been wronged. I have a bad temper. Generally, if I am wronged, I will return it."
Teacher Zhu sighed, "It's also my fault that I didn't do a good enough job. I didn't expect such a small matter to become such a big deal."
Shen Tang didn't answer.
He didn't want Chen Tang to take over the conversation, so he continued, "Liu Jia is a little vain, but she is young and has this mentality. But if you want to talk about how bad her character is, she is not that bad."
"I also understand the whole story of this matter. Liu Jia was just teasing the child at the time, but he didn't expect that others would hear it. Rumors can melt gold, and accumulated slander can destroy a person. As the story spread, it turned out like this."
"Of course, it's also because the managers of our district are not rigorous enough, but it didn't cause any impact after all. The matter is not big, but it's not small either. Comrade Shen, I will personally be the mediator. Whether it's compensation or an apology, what do you think?"
Chen Tang had actually gotten to know Commander Zhu's personality. He usually only took care of the military district's affairs and rarely talked about anything other than work after work.
However, she was not surprised that she had to mediate for Liu Jia this time.
"Can I ask how the verdict was made over there?"
Zhu also did not hide the truth from her: "Those who took the lead in spreading rumors and caused an impact, if the victims do not write a letter of apology, then they will be sentenced to prison. In serious cases, they may even be sentenced to three years in prison."
"So serious?" Chen Tang thought that locking him up for a few days to teach him a lesson would be enough.
Zhu: "This is an extraordinary period, and it's a bit more serious. Although you won't really go to jail for a few years, you'll at least be locked up for a few months. As for the others, they'll all apologize and be criticized."
No wonder Commander Zhu stepped in to mediate.
Chen Tang was thinking about teaching those rumormongers a lesson, but he didn't want them to actually go to jail.
It's not a pity that these people are in jail, but it's a pity for the soldiers who trained hard behind them.
Once they go to jail, the future of the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander who have worked so hard to climb to this position will be ruined.
She had no grudges against other people except Tian Xiaotian, who was like a sticky plaster and always tried to trip her up whenever she got the chance.
If she let these people off so easily, there would be no point in her making such a fuss.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Commander Zhu was afraid that she would get angry and ignore everything, insisting on sending those talkative people to jail.
In his mind, He Xu came here just to gain experience, and would be transferred back to Kyoto sooner or later.
Neither of the couple is easy to mess with.
He is not afraid of trouble. If He Xu was a troublemaker, he could tame him.
But the one who was wrong in this matter was not Chen Tang, but those gossipy people.
It just so happened that the leader was his wife's niece.
Even though he has a high status, he cannot use his power to bully others.
“Liu Jia is still a teenager after all. If he goes to jail this time, I’m afraid his second half of life will be ruined. Comrade Shen, this matter is indeed Liu Jia’s fault, but the price is too high.
A teenager's mind is not stable yet. Of course, I am not saying that she should not pay the price for her wrongdoings, but it is really unbearable for her to pay for a slip of the tongue with her whole life. "
Aunt Liu next to her burst into tears when she heard this, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and came up to replace Chen Tang's quilt with tea.
Chen Tang came back to his senses and said calmly: "Commander, of course I don't want to see a little girl ruin her life for a few words, but I think, if even your wife doesn't know she's wrong and just keeps blaming others, does Comrade Liu Jia know she's wrong?"
Aunt Liu's eyes widened: "How could I not know I was wrong? I have scolded Liu Jia several times."
Chen Tang looked at the cup in her hand without saying a word.
Aunt Liu felt embarrassed when she thought of the look he had just given her.
Master Zhu frowned and said, "You are right. I am also responsible for this matter. Your Aunt Liu is stupid. She didn't even know she was being used. She always self-righteously puts the blame on others."
Chen Tang was a little surprised. This Master Zhu was quite sensible.
Aunt Liu was hostile to her the first time she saw her, and she didn't believe that there was no other person's scheme behind this.
It's just that she was too lazy to pay attention to Aunt Liu.
If you are still able to let others influence your thinking even in this position, you are either too soft-hearted and trusting of others, or too stupid.
Look at Commander Tan’s wife Xu Mei. She despises country folk from the bottom of her heart, but in fact, she has never given anyone the cold shoulder in public occasions.
Even though she wanted the position of director of the Women's Federation and had an average relationship with her aunt, she just lived her life happily and never resorted to any tricks.
She had an average relationship with most people in the family compound, but she got along well with Liang Lihua, Xu Guifen, and the directors of various departments.
Even though he knew that she and Xu Ting had a bad relationship, he would never use his power to suppress her.
Unlike this Aunt Liu, at first she thought she had offended the other person in some way. Her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose, but she liked He Xu and He Zhi, as if they had stolen her man.
Later, Liu Jia arrived at the military region.
She finally understood that the other person didn't think that she had stolen her man, but that she had stolen her niece's man.
For the first time, Shen Tang found it funny.
The He family is a big family, but everyone has high expectations but low skills.
Her grandfather and Mr. He were comrades-in-arms, but she was despised by Mr. He. Liu Jia was not as good as her in character. Not to mention whether Mr. He despised her or not, He Xu just looked down on her.
There is Shi Bing in front who has a good family background, education and good looks. Why would he choose her niece?
Although He Xu has been a rogue since childhood and is despised by the girls in the compound, his status is there and many people want to get to his position.
Chen Tang didn't know what this Sister Liu was thinking.
