Wang Xiuping widened her eyes, feeling cheated:
"You.....why are you like this? You clearly promised us."
"I didn't agree. Did I say I forgave you just now? You guys wanted to kill me in the first place. So what if I don't forgive you now?"
She stood up and looked at Director Yang:
"Director, is it okay if I don't agree to the settlement?"
Director Yang nodded. It was her right to disagree, but she also wanted to know what Xu Niannian wanted to do:
"So what do you want them to do?"
"It's very simple. We'll hold a criticism meeting. Wang Xiuping will read an 800-word apology letter on the stage. The wives of the soldiers will listen below. Deputy Commander Wang will also be present to listen."
"As for Sister Fang, I don't know what she said to me in private. After all, she didn't know what brand of bucket it was, but it was so full. Director Yang needs to investigate the details."
Mrs. Fang, who was standing by, trembled all over after hearing these words. She thought it was embarrassing enough just now, but she didn't expect it to be even more embarrassing now.
Xu Niannian actually said that she is a bucket???
Wang Xiuping's body was shaking like an onion. She was just beginning to get scared. She couldn't even imagine her man finding out and making him stand on the stage and listen to her read the apology letter.
I'm sure he won't want to live with me when he goes back.
Director Yang was a little confused. He didn't expect Xu Niannian to play such a big game.
He frowned slightly, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
Aunt Zhou stood up and said:
"Xiao Xu is right. We should take this incident as a typical example. There is nothing more typical than this. Xiao Xu wanted to help the children learn more words, but he was wrongly accused. This is simply Dongguo and the snake."
"Our army must eradicate this kind of atmosphere. More importantly, Xiao Xu is pregnant, and Captain Lu has been working hard for the country. If he comes back and finds out that his wife has been wronged, it will chill the hearts of all the soldiers."
Seeing that Aunt Zhou had raised the level to this point, Director Yang had no choice but to agree.
Those who had followed Wang Xiuping in making trouble didn't dare to say a word.
I was afraid that I would be caught again in the next second.
However, we must catch an example in this matter, and the accomplices must not be let off either.
Wang Xiuping suddenly shouted on the ground:
"It's not fair. I'm also the representative they elected. Why shouldn't they be punished?"
If more than a dozen military wives were punished together, their husbands might then think that the matter was nothing.
That's what she thought.
Director Yang looked at her:
"So are you going to take the initiative to explain your previous plans and what everyone said?"
"Yes, it is."
The military wives who were in the same regiment with Wang Xiuping were so anxious that their eyes turned red, fearing that they would be exposed.
Director Yang nodded:
"Okay, then you stay alone for a while and I'll record it."
Wang Xiuping still wants to fight for it:
"Can I make amends for my mistakes this way?"
The other military wives were furious. They betrayed them just to make up for their mistakes. They were such bad teammates.
Director Yang glanced at Xu Niannian.
Xu Niannian smiled:
"The more detailed the better. The apology letter can be shortened to 500 words."
Mrs. Fang was eager to try it out, but luckily she still had a bit of common sense and knew that if she did so, the consequence would be being torn apart by the crowd.
In the end, I resisted the desire in my heart.
Director Yang saw that the matter was almost done and had wasted half a day, so he picked up the loudspeaker and shouted:
"Who has any objections to what happened today? If not, then we'll be dismissed."
At this time, Li Zhengwei's wife stood up:
"Can you please let me take a look at that comic strip?"
Director Yang handed it to her.
Sister Li leaned close to Xu Niannian's ear and said:
"She is the Zhang Meihua, the wife of Political Commissar Li, whom I told you about before. She has a sewing machine at home."
After hearing this, Xu Niannian remembered that not only did she have a sewing machine, she was also a teacher.
Zhang Meihua quickly flipped through the comic book and said to Xu Niannian:
"Hello, Comrade Xu, my name is Zhang Meihua, and I am also a teacher in the literacy class."
Then he said to several people:
“I think this comic book is very well illustrated and uses simple words, which is suitable for our literacy classes for military wives.”
She also just heard the nursery teacher say that this is suitable for learning.
The family compound has been running literacy classes for more than half a year, and she has been troubled because most military wives feel that learning is useless.
But in the first few days, because the family compound was vigorously promoting it, a lot of people came. However, a small number of people who came found the learning boring, so the number of people gradually decreased.
These days she has been worrying about how to arouse students' interest.
This comic book is very good. It is based on real life and can arouse the interest of military wives.
Director Yang didn't expect it to have such a use.
He looked at the little kids standing nearby, randomly selected a few of them, pointed at a few words, and found that they did recognize the words.
And those kids also praised:
“It’s quick to learn and easy to study.”
Lu Yilin and Lu Ze both puffed out their chests; their aunt was indeed a very good painter.
Finding that this was indeed feasible, he nodded:
"We'll discuss this matter in detail later. It's getting late, so you should go home first."
She also has to deal with Wang Xiuping, another lawsuit.
On the way back, Zhang Meihua caught up with Xu Niannian and saw that she didn't look very well:
"I hope my suggestion doesn't cause you any trouble."
"It's okay. Thank you for your recognition of my work."
The two talked for a while, and after the people left, Sister Li spoke:
"I heard before that she doesn't like to talk to people. She usually likes to submit articles to newspapers. Anyway, she is not the same as other military wives. I didn't expect that her tone of voice when talking to you is quite nice. You must be cultured!"
Xu Niannian laughs:
"No, it should be that she is just cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and everyone misunderstood her."
"I heard from my boy before that you can draw, but I didn't expect you to be so good at it. My dear mother, I don't know how lucky Captain Lu is to marry you. You cook delicious food, can draw, are well-educated, and are good-looking."
At first, she also felt that, as others said, Xu Niannian was marrying above her station by marrying Captain Lu.
The more I get to know her, the more I feel she is worthy of me.
Seeing that Sister Li was about to continue praising him, Xu Niannian quickly called a halt:
"Sister-in-law, don't praise me like that. If you keep praising me, my tail will fly up to the sky."
Seeing that her ears were turning red, Sister Li stopped talking.
"Your lips are a little pale, go back and take a rest, there are always those who have nothing better to do to cause trouble!"
Xu Niannian did feel a little tired. After making the pastries, she had originally planned to take a nap.
I didn't expect that this would take so long.
The two little ones beside me have been silent since just now.
When we were almost home, we called Sister Li:
"I'm sorry to bother you, Sister Li, today. Come to my house with the kids to have some dessert. I just made it this morning."
