who?
Yi Xiaoqiu had not been in the compound for long and really had no idea who Ji Shuyan's competitor was.
"Zhang Daniu, Captain Zhang." Aunt Liu said in a low voice when she saw Yi Xiaoqiu's puzzled face.
Battalion Commander Zhang is over 40 years old and has always been in the position of battalion commander. Since Regiment Commander Ji made great contributions and was promoted to regimental commander two years ago, and his position surpassed his, he has been very dissatisfied.
Who wouldn't be jealous of a group leader who is less than 30 years old?
When Captain Zhang saw Ji Shuyan, he thought her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes. These gossips came from her wife's mouth.
Aunt Liu had already found out that the people who spread the gossip were all women who were close to Zhang's daughter-in-law.
Yi Xiaoqiu really didn't know who Captain Zhang was, but after listening to Aunt Liu's explanation, she knew the whole story.
"Aunt Liu, my man is on the front lines, hanging his head on his belt. At any moment, something could happen... There are even people in the compound maliciously destroying his reputation and slandering him as a hero. This has a significant impact. What do you think is the best approach?"
Yi Xiaoqiu's question stumped Aunt Liu.
Yes, someone is maliciously destroying the reputation of comrades fighting bravely on the front line. The impact of this matter is not small. If it is not handled properly, many people will be implicated and may even lose their future.
"Then... shall we go find the leader?"
Aunt Liu was also a little undecided.
Yi Xiaoqiu held her newly revealed belly and said, "The leader wants to find me, but not now."
Now she has no evidence, so for this kind of thing, it would be best to catch her in the act before reporting it to the leader.
Aunt Liu immediately understood what Yi Xiaoqiu meant.
"Yes, those women usually gather under the old tree in the middle of the courtyard after dinner to talk. We can secretly eavesdrop and catch him in the act."
Yi Xiaoqiu nodded, "Auntie, this is a good idea!"
Aunt Liu smiled embarrassedly. She didn't mean anything wrong at all. She just said what she knew.
Usually, many people gathered under the old tree to gossip, and she was once one of them.
It was just past noon and there were not many people there, so Yi Xiaoqiu turned around and went home.
Aunt Liu also followed over and said, "No one has lived in your yard for many days. Let me help you clean it up."
The house has been empty for more than half a month. Although it was cleaned very well when Ji Shuyan left, there was still some dust on it, so the necessary places still needed to be cleaned.
Yi Xiaoqiu did not refuse. She had been sitting in the car for the whole morning and was still a little tired. It would be nice to have someone to help her.
The houses on both sides are very close to each other, so the robot butler cannot be taken out.
"Thank you, Auntie. I brought some apples from home. You can take some back for the child later.
Also, I can’t eat all the vegetables in my backyard by myself, so if you need them, just go pick them.”
When Aunt Liu heard this, she was very happy. She knew that Xiaoqiu, despite her young age, was very capable.
She likes to argue with people who are not the kind of people who take advantage of others.
"I'm so sorry!" Although I was happy, I still had to be polite.
Yi Xiaoqiu smiled and said, "I've been living here alone for a while now, and I'll have a lot of trouble for you in the future! A good relationship is the only way to last."
Aunt Liu was no longer polite when she heard this. She pushed Yi Xiaoqiu into the house and said, "Then you go and rest. I'll clean up the house."
As she said that, she ran into Yi Xiaoqiu's bedroom and helped make the bed.
While Aunt Liu was packing, Yi Xiaoqiu went to the room opposite. She picked some apples from the farm and stuffed a big apple into Aunt Liu's hand when she left.
Aunt Liu's eyes narrowed with a smile. "Xiao Qiu, have a good rest. I'll keep an eye on you outside."
Yi Xiaoqiu did not refuse Aunt Liu's kindness.
After Aunt Liu left with the apple, Yi Xiaoqiu took a nap.
When she woke up again, the sun was setting.
After Yi Xiaoqiu finished the dinner prepared by the housekeeper, Aunt Liu came.
"Xiao Qiu, hurry up, I just saw Lao Zhang's wife and a few old women over there!"
Not only did she not help at all today, she also took in a big apple from Yi Xiaoqiu, and was worried about where to put her energy!
Yi Xiaoqiu and Aunt Liu quietly came to a place not far from the old tree in the middle of the courtyard.
That place happened to be a corner, not far from the old tree. I could hear the voices of the people under the old tree, and I could also see what was happening under the old tree from this side, but the people under the old tree could not see the two people standing at the corner.
At this time, a skinny woman in her forties was raising her hands and talking excitedly!
"Let me tell you, Captain Ji's wife is said to be an educated youth from the countryside. If she hadn't married Captain Ji, she would still be working in the fields! Captain Ji and Nurse Zheng are also quite normal. After all, she is a city girl."
"You know what? I've seen Nurse Zheng come to see Captain Ji several times! If they weren't having an affair, would Nurse Zheng always be around Captain Ji?"
"Of course they both went south together. It's a pity for Captain Ji's wife. I've seen her from afar before. She's quite a pretty girl."
Several old ladies were gossiping about the news they had heard on their journeys.
No matter whether it is true or not, I just want to satisfy my desire to talk.
Yi Xiaoqiu looked at the old ladies who were talking with details and turned to leave.
"Xiaoqiu, where are you going?" Aunt Liu followed.
Yi Xiaoqiu quickly walked towards the office. "Aunt Liu, I'm still pregnant, so it's not convenient for me to talk to those people. I'll ask the leaders to come and listen to how the heroes who are fighting on the front lines are being fabricated."
Yi Xiaoqiu was not afraid of those old women. It was one thing for her to feel inconvenienced during her pregnancy, but she had to let her leader know about this matter. She wanted to eliminate any future troubles once and for all.
Aunt Liu paused and said, "I'll stay here and watch. You go quickly."
She was most afraid of meeting those leaders, so she decided not to go with them.
"OK."
Yi Xiaoqiu walked quickly and soon arrived outside the leader's office.
Yi Xiaoqiu entered the room only after waiting for the guard to inform him.
Ji Shuyan’s leader’s surname is Yang, and he is the head of the military region.
A skinny old man, nearly 80 years old, sat upright in a chair, with a strong aura and a righteous but serious look. There was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at people, making it clear that he was a hero who had just returned from the battlefield.
When Yang Shengping saw that the person who came in was a pregnant girl, the murderous look on his face immediately disappeared.
"Hello, Chief. I'm sorry to take up some of your time. Is this convenient for you?"
Yi Xiaoqiu felt the other party's momentum, but she was not afraid. Grandpa Ji was usually very serious. What's more, she could only admire the hero.
"I remember you. You are Xiao Ji's new wife."
Yang Shengping tried hard to raise the corners of his mouth. He rarely smiled, and the smile on his face was a little stiff at this moment.
