Every day, a group of people would gather under the old locust tree in the military compound to chat. Among them was always Chen Guihua, whose eyes were opened to the news that Qin Ying had applied for medical school.
Chen Guihua sat in the crowd, looking around vigilantly, leaning forward, and speaking in a mysterious, low voice:
"Have you heard? Qin Ying is going to apply to medical school!"
Aunt Li paused while sewing the sole of a shoe, her face full of surprise, her eyes wide open:
"Ah? She? She wants to apply to medical school? I heard it's not easy to get into medical school!"
Chen Guihua curled her lips with a look of disdain:
"Humph, there's more to it than that. Do you know which medical school she's applying to? It's the school of Chen Shuhua's nephew, Teacher Wei Zhuolan. I heard they have a special relationship! She even wants to get close to Teacher Wei without even thinking twice!"
Aunt Wang opened her mouth in surprise, looked around, and quickly stopped her, whispering:
"Don't say that casually. Teacher Wei's father is the Minister of Propaganda. Qin Ying is quite courageous!"
Aunt Li asked with a puzzled look on her face:
"How do you know she's interested in Teacher Wei?"
Chen Guihua glared exaggeratedly, her voice suddenly rising, then quickly lowered:
"Haven't you heard? It's spread all over the compound! She's been looking for Teacher Wei so many times, always finding excuses to talk to him. Just a few days ago, she got right out of Teacher Wei's car!"
Aunt Li slapped her thigh and nodded hurriedly:
"Yes, yes, yes, I saw it too! That day, Qin Ying got out of Teacher Wei's car. Many people saw that scene!"
Aunt Wang's curiosity was piqued, and she stretched her neck to ask:
"And then what? What happened next?"
When Chen Guihua mentioned this, she immediately became more interested and described it vividly:
"Later, Captain Fu was furious. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He must have been jealous! It seemed like the two of them had a big fight."
Aunt Wang frowned, her face full of disgust:
"She's still married, yet she's interested in Teacher Wei. How indecent!"
Chen Guihua continued to add fuel to the fire:
"That's right. She applied for admission before the results were even released. Does she really think she can do it? She's still thinking about climbing higher and higher branches without even considering her own qualifications."
Aunt Li shook her head repeatedly and said with a click of the tongue:
"If this gets out, she'll bring shame to the Fu family!"
Chen Guihua echoed with a look of gloating joy on her face:
"I think she's just overestimating herself. If she doesn't pass the exam, she'll cry!"
Chen Guihua has no other skills in the compound, but she is a master at spreading gossip.
After Chen Shuhua finished the call, she went out for a walk again. Hearing these discussions, besides being angry, she was also somewhat relieved. It seemed that it was very necessary to let her sister know about this matter. The matter between Qin Ying and Wei Zhuolan must be resolved immediately.
Although these rumors were directed at Qin Ying, they were still related to Wei Zhuolan.
She didn't want her outstanding nephew to be talked about by others, even if others wanted him.
If the person who coveted Wei Zhuolan was a cadre's son, she could still accept it, but since this person was Qin Ying, she could not tolerate it.
She suppressed her anger, walked over slowly, looked at these people with annoyance, and said in a bad tone:
"What are you all talking about? What kind of identity is my nephew? How could he be so easily fabricated? Qin Ying doesn't even look at herself. She's a married rural woman, but she still covets my nephew. Isn't she afraid of being laughed at?
"What good will this kind of person with such an unruly style have? I've heard she has a very bad reputation in the workplace. Zhuo Lan's mother already knows about this and will definitely take action. It's only a matter of time before Qin Ying is fired. She might even pack up and leave today. "You guys should stop gossiping. If this gets out, it won't be good for my nephew's reputation."
Qin Ying happened to hear these words when she walked here.
She had done nothing wrong, but everyone was hostile to her.
In order to protect her son, Wei Zhuolan's mother, who is in a high position, is indiscriminate and can decide other people's future with just a few words.
Aunt Li, who was sharp-eyed in the crowd, spotted Qin Ying at once, slapped her thigh exaggeratedly, pointed in her direction, and shouted at the top of her voice:
"Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa! Look, isn't that Qin Ying? Why is she back in broad daylight during work hours? Could she really have been fired?"
Her shout caused everyone to turn their heads and look at her.
Chen Guihua had a gloating expression on her face and shouted in a shrill voice:
"It really is her! I told you, with her character, she still wanted to climb up the social ladder. Now, look what she has done. She has lost her job. Let's see how she can be so proud in the future!"
Aunt Wang also shook her head and sighed, her face full of disgust:
"Tsk tsk, this is really embarrassing. How can I stay in the compound from now on?"
For a moment, ridicule and cold stares came down on her.
It really makes me want to curse at these people. They have nothing to do except making fun of and talking about others.
What a bunch of gossips.
She took a deep breath silently, looked at them calmly, and said in a heavy and resolute tone:
"Aunts and aunties, I don't care what you say about me. But some things are not what you so naively speculate. There is nothing wrong between me and Teacher Wei; it's just normal dealings. As for my expulsion, there were reasons for it, and it's not your place to make irresponsible remarks. I'm a man of integrity, and I'm not afraid of your gossip."
After saying that, Qin Ying was too lazy to pay attention to these people anymore and was about to walk home.
Before she left, Chen Shuhua stepped forward and stood in front of her, completely unlike the person she had seen before. Her face was full of arrogance and disdain, and her tone was cold:
"Hmph, you're still being stubborn? Don't you know your own situation? Stop trying to get involved with my nephew. You two are not from the same world. Give up the idea as soon as possible, otherwise you will suffer."
Qin Ying didn't expect that Wei Zhuolan's aunt would be such an unreasonable person.
She looked at Chen Shuhua angrily and said calmly:
"Aunt Chen, your words are too harsh. Teacher Wei and I have a completely honest relationship. You're accusing me of this for no reason. Aren't you afraid of wrongly accusing a good person? You keep saying that I'm unruly, but do you have any real evidence? Are you willing to ruin my job and reputation based on your own conjecture?"
When Chen Shuhua just called, Chen Shuyun said that she would definitely go to the publishing house today to deal with the matter personally.
She saw Qin Ying holding a pile of packed things in her hands, and it seemed that she had lost her job.
