Chapter 408 Regret for the Quick Success
"I didn't see the man's face. He was in the woods."
Zhang Xiaomei was obviously flustered. Captain Zhou's eyes were so sharp that he seemed to have seen through her thoughts.
She had an urge to cry, but she gritted her teeth and held on. She regretted her eagerness for quick success and wanted to push Lu Sihui down. If she performed well, she could become a squad leader, and then be promoted to officer and stay in the army.
"You're lying. It's pitch black in the woods at night. How did you see anyone?"
Dean Zhou slammed the table hard, which was so shocking that Zhang Xiaomei started to tremble with fear.
The person who lied was guilty, and if she really saw it, she would naturally feel justified.
She really wanted to say it was the officer who came during the day, but she didn't dare to take the risk. What if someone could prove that the man was not at the scene? She would be making a false accusation, which would be a serious crime.
"I...I guessed. During the day, the officer told her about proposing to her. At night, she didn't stay in the dormitory and ran to the woods. I think she must have gone to meet him."
Zhang Xiaomei confessed with a sad face that she was just guessing and had no evidence, but someone in the village had already written an anonymous letter, and no matter whether it was black or white, if someone reported it, that person would be in trouble.
Instructor Huang said today that if Lu Sihui really made a mistake, the class monitor would be replaced. She wanted to make the matter more serious. Even if the investigation found no such thing, Lu Sihui would still have to be removed as the class monitor.
"You wrote a letter of accusation based on your guess. You are making a false accusation. Your ideology and morals are corrupt. The army does not want people like you. Go back and pack your things. You are dismissed."
Zhou Yanhong's face turned pale with anger. Although the arts soldiers are not as important as the soldiers fighting in the war, they still play a propaganda role. How can they still perform for the soldiers when their thoughts are so dirty?
"No! I was wrong. I will write a self-criticism. Please don't let me go back. I am doing this for the good of the art troupe. I will never meddle in other people's business again."
When Zhang Xiaomei heard that she was going to be fired, she burst into tears, tears streaming down her face, and she was still trying to defend herself.
It was about meddling in other people's business, not her own selfish motives.
"Zhang Xiaomei, you don't realize your mistake at all. Are you meddling in other people's business? Obviously not. The first time was excusable, but this letter is simply a false accusation. Why don't you admit it?"
Zhou Yanhong looked at her with a sneer. This person is hopeless. She refuses to repent and cannot recognize her mistakes at all.
You can't even give her a chance. This kind of person will never change.
"Captain, Instructor Huang, my family depends on my allowance! My mother is seriously ill, my grandmother is paralyzed on the kang, my father has a limp in one leg, and my younger brother still has to go to school. If you dismiss me, my family will starve to death. I promise to be honest and obedient in the future and never meddle in other people's business again."
Zhang Xiaomei knelt on the ground as she spoke, crying her eyes out, and her words were so miserable and pitiful.
Zhou Yanhong and Instructor Huang looked at each other. Both of them were women with soft hearts.
Instructor Huang pulled her up and said, "Alright, go back and be a good person! I have a comrade who works in your local spinning mill. The layoff letter only mentioned your health reasons. Let her arrange for you to work in the spinning mill. The salary is higher than the allowance. Frontline workers can earn more than 40 yuan a month."
Instructor Huang, who appears cold on the outside but has a warm heart, used to have a family situation that was somewhat similar to hers. So even though he despised her behavior, he didn't want to force her to death.
Zhou Yanhong frowned, but did not object to Instructor Huang's opinion. If the reason for her dismissal was really stated in the dismissal letter, she was afraid that no factory would be willing to take her in.
"Let me stay in the army! I promise to work diligently in the future, Commander, Instructor Huang, I know I was wrong."
Zhang Xiaomei did not appreciate it. She wanted to stay in the army and had other purposes.
