Chapter 224: Family of Deputy Battalion Officer
Qi Xu frowned and glared at Aunt Cui angrily. He didn't intend to pay any attention to this uncultured shrew and continued walking forward.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Cui deliberately blocked her way and tried to trip her up.
"Oh my, isn't this the family of Deputy Battalion Commander Lin? Since when did even the deputy battalion commander get a high-end apartment? Our Jiang Ping is now a battalion commander, and he lives in the old family housing!"
Aunt Cui kept calling Lin Youqian the deputy battalion commander, emphasizing Lin Youqian's identity.
Qi Xu felt something was wrong and asked her.
"Aunt Cui, what do you mean? It's my right to live in this room. It was approved by the army commander. It's none of your mother's business. If you're jealous, you can get your man to be promoted to the rank of regimental commander!"
"Hahahaha! I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone so shameless." Aunt Cui sarcastically shouted.
"What a shameless vixen, boasting without a care in the world. Our Jiang Ping is now a level above that bastard. And she thinks she's the captain's wife, trying to show off in front of me. Ugh!"
"The real wife of the artillery captain, Mrs. Cao, is right here!"
Aunt Cui deliberately pushed the plump and slightly fat middle-aged woman next to her forward.
"I remember someone once said that when a family member of a lower position sees a family member of a higher position, they should call her sister-in-law. Why are you silent today?"
After listening to the general situation, Qi Xu had a bad feeling in his heart. Did Lin Youqian get transferred to another position or demoted?
"A good dog doesn't block the road. Please move aside. I will go and find out about my Master Pao's affairs."
Finally, the woman next to her who was called Mrs. Cao began to speak. She tilted her neck and turned her nose to the sky, and her expression was more arrogant than that of a peacock spreading its tail.
"I can give way. But please ask Deputy Battalion Commander Lin's family to pack up their things and vacate my house first."
Qi Xu finally understood that Lin Youqian was not sent to perform a mission outside the province, but was demoted and punished. Therefore, these two old women wanted to ride on her head and show off their power.
"Why? This is my home, I won't let you! The house is registered under my man's name. If you are jealous, go talk to the commander. As long as the commander says so, I will move out immediately."
Even if Lin Youqian wasn't a colonel, so what? The Lin family had made so many contributions to the army, it wasn't the turn of two old shrews to act wildly in front of her.
Even if Lin Youqian's rank was demoted, her achievements were still there. With just that second-class medal of honor, she could walk all over the officers' families.
The proud old woman's face suddenly fell, and she could no longer pretend to be dignified and elegant.
"Don't give me face, you are shameless. My man is now your man's superior. According to your military rank, you are no longer eligible to live in this apartment."
"If you don't move, we'll go to the housing management office and discuss it. Let's see what the army's housing regulations say."
As soon as Qi Xu was harassed by Aunt Cui, the guards went to report to their superiors. Coincidentally, Lu Shixu was with Ding Wen, the director of the Housing Management Office, and he immediately rushed over to support Qi Xu.
"Which bastard dared to ask her to move? Come out and see!"
The woman's arrogance immediately faded when she saw Lu Shixu. She muttered softly.
"Pao Ye is only a deputy battalion commander now. He is not eligible for such a nice house. Director Ding, is that right?"
Lu Shixu roared angrily. "Pao Ye doesn't have the qualifications, but I do."
"I'm the director of the Political Department, but I still don't have a house. I want this house. I'm giving it to my sister Qiqi. She can live here however she wants and for as long as she wants."
"Let me see which shameless bastard dares to act so presumptuously in front of her!"
Ding Wen quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Director Lu, don't be angry. Don't worry, no one dares to ask Pao's Wife to move out."
Then he got angry at the two ignorant and foolish women next to him.
"Are you two deaf? Didn't you hear clearly? Director Lu wants this house. Get out of here!"
Aunt Cui and the shifty-looking lady were scolded so harshly that they were about to run away when they were stopped by Lu Shixu.
"Stop, did I let you go?"
"Deputy Captain Cao's family member, your man is only an acting captain right now, yet you dare to act so arrogantly and look down on everyone. You really have a lot of power!"
"He's just a deputy regimental commander, and he dares to compete with me for an apartment. Who gave him the guts?"
"I won't let this matter go!"
Then, Lu Shixu looked at Aunt Cui with disdain and sneered condescendingly.
"This person is Jiang Ping's family member, right?"
"I heard Jiang Ping is a good writer. Coincidentally, I'm still short of a secretary. Let's transfer him over and have him serve well!"
"Tomorrow, the Political Department will issue him a transfer appointment letter."
Everyone in the army knows that if you want to offend anyone, don't offend the people in the Political Department. If they want to make things difficult for you, they can find ten thousand reasons to block your way.
Jiang Ping's path to reinstatement was now completely cut off. Only he himself could understand how difficult it would be to live under Lu Shixu in the future.
Ding Wen and Cao Jian had a good relationship, and the two families were somewhat related. Now, seeing his stupid wife so unmotivated, he could only sigh.
"Hey! Idiot."
Anyone who wants to get promoted won't cross paths with the senior officials in the Political Department. Otherwise, the annual political assessment alone will be enough to hold you back.
Cao Jian originally had the hope of being promoted to the next level, but from now on, I'm afraid he will have to stop here.
In the military region, Pao Ye was a powerful figure that no one dared to offend, except the commander. Even after his demotion, the commander hadn't appointed a new captain, and Cao Jian was only acting as a temporary replacement. Clearly, he would be reinstated as soon as his confinement was over.
And Lu Shixu's strength in the army is comparable to that of Pao Ye.
These two idiots in front of me, why did they dare to mess with Mr. Pao’s favorite, Director Lu’s godsister? They are really tired of living.
This little kid has the support of two powerful backers, Lin and Lu, and he also holds a trump card in his hand that is as powerful as the imperial sword. Even Commander Li doesn't dare to provoke him.
What's more, the commander personally instructed the entire army to keep the matter a secret from Little Cannon's Wife. Now that it's been exposed by these two idiots, it's a huge hole.
For the sake of their distant relative, Ding Wen kindly reminded Mrs. Cao Jian.
"Sister Cao, what you did today was so foolish. Why don't you apologize to your wife quickly?"
Cao Jian's wife always looks down on others and is the best at flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak. How could she be willing to lose face and apologize to a little girl?
She rolled her eyes and said reluctantly, "I'm sorry!"
Qi Xu snorted coldly. "As the family of a deputy battalion commander, I don't deserve an apology from the family of Deputy Regimental Commander Cao."
"Second brother, let's go!"
