Chapter 83 Wang Yuqing angrily berates Liu Huo for being immoral
As they passed by every household in the village, many people saw her and whispered mockingly: "The new daughter-in-law of the Ji family is going to sell snails again. She'll make a lot of money again. She doesn't do any proper work. She's too lazy to work and always tries to make money through crooked means. We don't have strict regulations here, but if this were elsewhere, she would be considered a speculator and would be paraded through the streets or shot!"
Others chimed in, saying, "Setting up a stall is not a respectable business, and they're not afraid of losing face."
Many were envious, many criticized her, and some even followed suit by collecting snails to take home and cook. Everyone complained that they tasted terrible and wondered how she could make them taste good and sell them for money. Did she add something harmful to her health?
Some rural people can't stand seeing others do well; they're extremely selfish. Whether they themselves are doing well or not is no longer important, as long as others can't do well.
Several parents deliberately let their children go up and ask for snails. The children said matter-of-factly, "I want to eat snails, give me snails."
Wang Yuqing was not one to be fond of children. She roared at them fiercely, "Get out of my way, you little brats! Why should I feed you?"
One of the older boys glared at Wang Yuqing and said, "We're still kids, how dare you yell at us? How can an adult like you be so stingy?"
Wang Yuqing continued to yell, "Just because I'm an adult doesn't mean I'll give you food! Don't you have mothers? Are you orphans?"
The children were stunned by the shouting, as they had never experienced anything like this before.
Ji Xiaoming, standing next to him, recognized them; they were the same group who used to follow Cao Hao around, complaining that he didn't have a mother. He puffed out his chest and said smugly, "Don't you guys have mothers? Go home and let your mothers cook for you. Why should my mother feed you? Don't you all have mothers?"
He finally got his moment of triumph.
The parents nearby naturally heard this and were all furious, but they knew Wang Yuqing's temperament. They couldn't win by scolding or hitting her, and getting involved would be troublesome. She was even more frightening than the Cao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Wang Yuqing's idea was that she didn't mind offending one more person! Anyway, she had fought with quite a few people since she came here, and she never let herself be unhappy!
Upon arriving at the brigade headquarters' threshing ground, Wang Yuqing saw Liu Huo leading a dozen or so young men in drill training. Judging from their lifeless training, Ji Xuening could knock them down with one punch!
Liu Huo also saw Wang Yuqing. He told everyone to rest, then stepped in front of Wang Yuqing and grinned greasyly: "Oh, are you going to sell snails? Didn't your husband hunt a wild boar weighing over 100 jin yesterday? He made quite a bit of money. What's wrong? With so much money, you still have to go to the market early in the morning to sell snails?"
After he finished speaking, he touched his nose and said, "This Ji Xuening is something else. He doesn't know how to cherish his wife. As the saying goes, a man fears choosing the wrong career, and a woman fears marrying the wrong man. You, well, you married the wrong man."
Wang Yuqing scoffed: "My Ji Xuening is a million times better than you. He's more handsome, stronger, more virtuous, and has a more upright set of values."
Several militiamen watching nearby chuckled quietly.
Liu Huo swallowed awkwardly: "Wow, that's good? Why wasn't he selected as the militia company commander? Do you know about his past in the army?"
He continued, "I also plan to visit him to apologize sometime. After all, I got the position of militia company commander. Ji Xuening has been hoping for this for so many years, and he must be feeling terrible."
A young man asked, "By the way, what's he doing in the army?"
Liu coughed a few times: "How can I just say that? I'm very tight-lipped. If I say it, it'll cause a huge uproar." After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Wang Yuqing and pretended to comfort her: "Don't take it to heart. I was just joking. What kind of shameful things could he be doing in the army?"
What a male green tea b*tch!
Wang Yuqing suppressed her anger and smiled, saying, "Is it something he can't stand to be seen in public, or something you can't stand to be seen in public?"
Liu was taken aback by the question.
Wang Yuqing continued, "Do you think you can hide the despicable things you did in private? Just because he's honest doesn't mean he's stupid. He knows perfectly well what's going on, but he's just too lazy to bother with you. After all, he doesn't care about the position of militia company commander anymore, but you still treat it like a treasure."
"Don't try to sow discord or whisper in my ear. I know the whole story perfectly well. Even if I were blind and deaf, I would still trust him. Besides, I'm very perceptive; I can tell the difference between demons and monsters at a glance."
"If you want to spell it out now, then let's spell it out! Let's see if it ends up being a marital discord, or if you lose face and can't keep your position as militia company commander?"
If it weren't for the fact that this matter is unclear and difficult to investigate, she would have already taken Ji Xuening to the brigade headquarters.
Now that he's in the middle of the gun, she's not going to hold back and shoot him!
Liu was a little flustered. The woman in front of him was different from all the women he had ever met. She was calm, composed, intelligent, and eloquent. Wouldn't a normal woman, upon hearing this, be swayed by him and start overthinking? Wouldn't she end up feeling so bad that she ran home and confronted her man?
Several militiamen nearby had gossipy expressions on their faces, eager to find out.
Liu Huo felt a little guilty and naturally didn't dare to be so blunt. He chuckled dryly and said, "Look at your temper, so fiery... I was just joking."
Wang Yuqing stared straight at him: "I'm not joking. My Ji Xuening didn't become the militia company commander because you did something immoral by submitting a letter to the brigade headquarters cadres and successfully got the position, didn't you?"
"You said you didn't hand it in earlier or later, but you chose to hand it in at this very moment. Anyone can tell what your intentions are."
"Without this letter, how could someone like you be a militia company commander? Tell me, how can you compare to my Ji Xuening? You owed my Ji Xuening grain last time and shamelessly refused to pay it back. Just based on your character, my Ji Xuening would crush you."
Chen Xiang's husband, Zhou Shan, asked, "We also found it strange. We all thought the militia company commander was Ji Xuening. By the way, what kind of letter did they hand in?"
Liu touched his nose, feeling quite embarrassed.
Wang Yuqing felt that Ji Xuening had been framed. Although the brigade secretary meant well in helping Ji Xuening cover it up, the more he covered it up, the more people would gossip and believe that Ji Xuening had indeed done it.
In addition, if we don't expose it directly, Liu will always hold the reins and will probably bring it up from time to time to make everyone believe that Ji Xuening did that thing.
Wang Yuqing said coldly, "You'll have to ask our militia company commander, Comrade Liu Huo. My son, Ji Xuening, joined the army with Comrade Liu Huo. In the same unit, a female soldier from the cultural troupe took a liking to my son, Ji Xuening. And what happened?"
"Our militia company commander, Comrade Liu Huo, is a lecherous man. He uses Ji Xuening's name to have a secret affair with a female soldier, sending her love letters every day."
"It's funny to think about it. The female soldier had her eye on my Ji Xuening, not you. If she knew that the man she's been lovingly with all this time is you, wouldn't she just throw up?"
