After saying that, Gong Linglong stepped forward and pulled Xu Wei away. "Comrade, please go away. I will talk to Comrade Meng about another way to apologize."
"What are you going to do?" Meng Xiaoying had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Gong Linglong didn't answer her. She grabbed her arm and took the pen from her chest pocket.
"Why did you steal my pen? Give it back to me."
Meng Xiaoying came to grab it as she spoke, but her strength was far inferior to Gong Linglong's, and she was restrained tightly by one hand.
Gong Linglong shook the pen in her hand and smiled brightly: "This pen is quite good. It sells for 15 yuan in the state-owned store. Even though you've used it, you can still get 11 or 12 yuan if you sell it secondhand."
After saying that, he snatched the watch off her wrist and said, "It's a Plum Blossom women's watch, 80% new, worth at least a hundred yuan."
"Give me back my watch."
"Political Commissar Zhao, she stole my things. She's committing robbery."
Gong Linglong ignored her shouting, easily pulled up her legs, took off her leather shoes, and took off her scarf.
"Give it back to me! Give it back to me!"
Meng Xiaoying grew up in the city and had never quarreled with anyone. Even when she was angry, she couldn't say anything unpleasant. She stood on the cold ground with her socks on, staring at her with excitement and resentment.
Xu Wei had never seen such a scene, nor had she seen someone like Gong Linglong who did not play by the rules. Seeing that Political Commissar Zhao did not say anything, she rushed over to help grab things.
"This is Xiaoying's stuff, give it back to her."
"This is robbery. If you don't return it to her, we will sue you and ask Deputy Captain Lu for an explanation."
Gong Linglong originally had no intention of taking her things, but seeing that she came to him on her own initiative, he easily took her hostage and took away all the valuables from her.
After stroking her, he pushed her easily into Meng Xiaoying's arms. Both of them couldn't stand steadily and fell to the ground in a pile.
"Political Commissar Zhao!"
The two people who had been bullied felt wronged and angry, and tears burst out again.
Political Commissar Zhao's attention was focused on Gong Linglong's movements in grabbing the things. Her movements were smooth and fluid, and the two people were like toys in her hands, allowing her to manipulate them easily. Such techniques and moves are not something that ordinary people can do.
With the clever moves she just used, even if she faced Lu Jingchuan, she would probably be able to hold off for three or five moves.
Political Commissar Zhao remembered her actions and said, "Gong Linglong, your behavior is not...
"Political Commissar Zhao, I don't think Comrade Meng and Comrade Xu realize their mistakes at all. Their class consciousness is even stronger than we imagined. Their self-righteousness is ingrained in their bones. Their verbal apology is only forced out of fear that their own interests and work will be affected."
"Sister-in-law Xiaolan is generous and willing to take a step back, but I am naturally petty. Regardless of whether she apologizes verbally or not, I will not forgive her for what happened today."
"I stole these things, and I stole them on purpose."
"She acted recklessly and hit me in the face today in order to calm down the trouble she caused. I won't tolerate this. She has no right to force me to calm down the trouble she caused herself."
"But, she can't just hit me in the face whenever she wants. I'm determined to make this material apology today."
Meng Xiaoying was irritated by her arrogant attitude, and her pretty face turned the color of liver. "Gong Linglong, this is robbery."
Gong Linglong scoffed and harshly rebuked, "As a member of the military art troupe, you disregarded military discipline. You proclaimed unity and fraternity, but in reality, you overstepped your bounds and interfered with the unity within the family compound. You accuse the military families without distinguishing right from wrong, causing public outrage without any reflection. You know you've done something wrong, yet you refuse to repent."
"You are such a person with a problematic mindset, yet you accuse me of being a robber. It's really laughable."
After saying that, he threw down the things in his hand and said, "My chopped chili peppers are cheap and worthless, but these things of yours are very valuable. But don't worry, no matter how poor I am, I will never use your things. I will also learn from you and become generous and kind by using the money of others."
He handed the items to Political Commissar Zhao and arranged them decisively, "Political Commissar Zhao, these items are barely worth 300 yuan. Please arrange to exchange them for food and supplies and donate them to the disabled veterans in the name of military families."
Political Commissar Zhao took the things, looked at her deeply, and said nothing.
Meng Xiaoying and the other person were standing on the cold floor, their feet were frozen stiff. Seeing that she had donated their valuables, they were so angry that they gritted their teeth and their faces were distorted.
Political Commissar Zhao turned his head and saw the expressions of the two men. Gong Linglong also saw it, and suddenly laughed. He spoke and directly put the two men on the fire rack.
"You're kind, generous, and helpful, a good person everyone in the art troupe likes. I didn't take your things for personal gain, but I'm doing a good deed for you. Don't you still want to be unhappy?"
"willing."
At this time, no matter how unwilling they are, they have to agree verbally, and they cannot ask for it back afterwards.
The salary and allowances of the art troupe were similar to those of ordinary soldiers. The things she had cheated away cost nearly two hundred yuan to buy again. They would have to save and live frugally for a year to buy them.
The two of them were so angry that their internal organs ached because they had suffered such a huge loss just by meddling in other people's business.
The most important thing is that I have lost face and my work has been affected. I can forget about being selected as an advanced worker in the art troupe this year.
Thinking of this, Meng Xiaoying almost vomited blood. Holding back her anger, she lowered her head and said, "Political Commissar Zhao, these things will be handled by Comrade Gong Linglong. I have no objection. Everything is up to you."
"Go back and take the ideological education class." Political Commissar Zhao said lightly.
"yes."
Neither of them wanted to stay any longer and ran away in their socks.
After they left, Political Commissar Zhao began to deal with matters within the family compound. He glanced at Mrs. Qian and her daughter and said to the others, "The families of the Second Deputy Battalion Commander of the First Regiment, if they've taken advantage of anyone and stolen anything, please report it to Comrade Jiang Yaping. Even if it's as small as a piece of green onion, report it all to me and I'll deal with it after get off work."
After saying that, Political Commissar Zhao nodded to Zhou Lanqin and hurriedly rode his bicycle back to the army office.
As soon as he left, Mrs. Qian and her daughter instantly became the targets of condemnation.
The mother and daughter were usually arrogant, especially Mrs. Qian, who relied on her age and status as an elder to often grab the cabbages from one family and the radishes from another. Sometimes when a child ate a candy or an egg, she would rush over to snatch it and put it in her mouth.
All the military wives in the entire family compound had quarreled with her, but she was a tough girl, rude and mean, and the young wives were no match for her in fighting and swearing.
They also don't want to quarrel too much and cause trouble for the men in each family, so they always tolerate it again and again, which has spoiled them beyond measure.
Now looking at the attitude of Political Commissar Zhao, it was obvious that he was going to take action against the mother and daughter. Everyone rushed forward to complain and rushed to register with Jiang Yaping.
Qian Pozi and her daughter screamed at the top of their lungs to stop them, but today everyone was united and their screams were useless.
Gong Linglong did not get involved in what happened next and went back to the house with her mother-in-law.
