Chapter 422: The Military Doctor Who Was Inexplicably Attacked
Liu Cui smiled unnaturally, her expression uglier than crying.
"No, how could that be possible? Captain Li is such a man, how could a country girl like me be worthy of him? Don't talk nonsense.
I am his distant relative and now a widow. Captain Li was kind-hearted and took pity on me, so he gave me a job opportunity."
Liu Cui's expression already explains a lot.
For people like them who have been working on the front lines of gossip for years, this is no different from admitting it.
Several people looked at each other, and some of them exchanged glances.
An older sister, who was watching the fun, stood up and pulled Liu Cui to sit among the crowd.
She introduced herself: "Sister, my name is Yu Guilian, everyone calls me Sister Guilian, you can call me that too, I feel you look familiar.
Look at how this little kid looks. Why do you think you are so inferior to others?
I think you are very beautiful.
If you were a little whiter, you would be no worse than the girls in the city.
What’s so bad about us country folk? If we weren’t busy with farm work every day, it’s hard to say who would look more impressive.”
Another older sister also followed suit.
"That's right, sister Liu Cui, I think you are prettier than those coquettish girls, and you can tell at first glance that you are from a good family.
If a respectable family wants to marry a daughter-in-law, they would choose someone like you."
The others also echoed her words one after another, and no one mentioned whether she was married to Li Aidang.
Only when Liu Cui was praised so much that she was dizzy and lost her mind did everyone stop praising her.
Liu Cui heard their initial conversation from a distance and felt uneasy. She was also a little absent-minded sitting there.
But after listening to Yu Guilian and the others praising themselves for a while, they gradually relaxed.
The more she listened, the more she felt like she was flying in the clouds, and she had long forgotten the fear that Li Aidang had brought her.
It has been many years since anyone praised themselves like this.
She was also a beauty in the village back then, and the boys who liked her would line up outside the village.
In the past few years, I have been busy taking care of the child Ping An and my husband's family, and I am getting old now.
I touched my face and it no longer felt as smooth as it did when I was young.
Alas...time makes us grow old.
Yu Guilian saw that the time was right and changed the subject directly.
"Sister, you said you are a widow now, have you ever thought about finding another one?
There are quite a lot of bachelors in our army. Tell us what kind of person you want to find and we can help you find one."
"Yes, Miss Liu, tell me your conditions. I have many suitable candidates here. Let us help you find some advice."
Others also joined in the fun, saying that they had suitable young men and wanted to introduce them to Liu Cui.
In fact, the others were just joining in the fun, only Yu Guilian was really doing bad things.
Her husband had some conflicts with Li Aidang before, and Yu Guilian was a vengeful person.
She wanted to mess up Li Aidang's family to see how Li Aidang could continue to be the regiment commander, and how Chen Hongmei could have the nerve to continue to be his high-ranking military doctor.
In fact, everyone present already understood that Liu Cui was the wife Li Aidan married before he joined the army.
There were also some smart people who knew that Yu Guilian was doing bad things.
But since it doesn't concern her, she just ignores it. She doesn't know Liu Cui, and no one will remind her on purpose. At most, she will just not join in the fun.
Liu Cui sighed, "What are you looking for? I don't want to look for it in this life.
I just plan to live with my dead ghost for the rest of my life, no matter how good or bad it is, I’ll just leave it at that."
Yu Guilian pretended to feel sorry and sighed, then grabbed Liu Cui's hand and patted it.
"What a pity, such a nice girl, but I didn't expect her to be so stubborn.
Listen to my sister-in-law's advice. If you can take a step forward, then take it.
It is much harder for us women to support a family alone than for men.
He closed his eyes and kicked his legs, feeling relieved, but it was us women who suffered the most.
Having said that, Yu Guilian also pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes.
"Sister Liu Cui, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but a few years ago, I sometimes thought that if my husband had died on the battlefield and couldn't come back, I would have taken my children to find the military district leaders.
He must find a way to survive for my son and me.
If he marries another young woman outside, I plan to take my children and hang myself at the gate of the military area.
Life is hard for us women. We have to take care of children and serve our parents-in-law at home. Nothing is easy.
In the end, the man was seduced away by the little goblin.
I don’t ask anything else from the military district leaders, just that the little goblin stays away from my man and gives him back to me.
This official position was earned by my man on the battlefield, with his head on the line. If it weren't for the little goblin seducing him, my man would have succumbed to the temptation.
They are all honest farmers, how can they resist the many tricks of the little goblins in the city.
My husband has made contributions to the country. For such a small matter, he will be punished at most. After the incident is over, if he performs meritorious service a few more times, he can still be promoted."
After Yu Guilian finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Liu Cui and found that she was lost in thought, so she pretended to say something wrong and slapped her lips.
"Look at me, why are you talking about this? Every time I talk about this, I can't control my mouth.
Big sister, what did your husband do before? Was he also a soldier? "
The other onlookers had already noticed that Yu Guilian was hoping that Liu Cui would make a scene, so she even gave her a suggestion.
No one interrupted and just watched Yu Guilian perform alone.
Liu Cui nodded and said, "He's also a soldier."
Yu Guilian seemed to be in high spirits, her eyes lighting up.
"Then how much pension did you get? You don't know, didn't someone's family come to us earlier? Her husband's pension was all taken away by her parents-in-law, and the woman and her child were left with no way to make a living.
She has lost her husband and her money. How is she going to live with her child? Her parents-in-law still treat her like this.
Later she...blah blah..."
This time, without waiting for Liu Cui to respond, Yu Guilian changed the topic to the fact that other people's pensions had been taken away by her parents-in-law.
It was as if she completely believed that Liu Cui and Li Aidang had no relationship, and what they had just said was just idle chat.
Although the military families who were chatting there loved gossip, they did not intend to deliberately lead others to do anything.
Some people were afraid of accidents and had already left early, using the excuse that something had happened at home.
Yu Guilian was fine as long as Liu Cui didn't leave, and she would leave if everyone else did.
Every word she said was instigating Liu Cui.
I talked about similar situations in other families, how they handled it, and what they got out of it.
Teach Liu Cui how to make a scene to win her man back.
The soldiers who died in the war still get pensions, but you, who were divorced for no reason, get nothing, which only makes Liu Cui feel more unwilling.
