The other family members who were watching the fun were muttering, and they did not lower their voices. Meng Xiaoying and Xu Wei heard it. Their faces were as dark as ink, and they regretted getting involved in Qian Pozi's mess.
They had never thought that Mrs. Qian had such a bad reputation in the family quarters. They only thought that she was really bullied and beaten to the ground, so they rushed over to help her seek justice.
But they never expected that they were deceived by Mrs. Qian.
Seeing that Mrs. Qian's eyes were very cold, Meng Xiaoying was afraid that the matter would get out of hand and affect her work, so she quickly put all the blame on her, speaking so fast that she seemed impatient.
"She deceived us. She said that other families isolated her family and divided things equally among the families except for hers. Some people even bullied her, an elderly woman. That's why we came to mediate the relationship between the neighbors out of kindness."
She changed her tone, but Yang Xiaolan didn't let it fool her. She continued to shout, "That's not what you said before. As soon as you came in, you started accusing me like a cadre, putting a high hat on my head and asking me to apologize to that old woman. If you hadn't accused me of something for no reason, I wouldn't have been so angry that I lost my mind and fought with this old woman."
"That's right. They argued for nearly half an hour before, but they didn't fight. It was after you came and said harsh words that Xiaolan got angry and started fighting."
Xu Lu stood by the side the entire time, seeing it all clearly. She added, "Also, what did you just say? When did we ever isolate her family? When did we ever bully her? She's been asking for money from every family day, even taking the children's things. She's so shameless. We're lucky she doesn't bully us."
Mrs. Qian hadn't said anything at first. She thought Comrade Meng would definitely help her vent her anger, but she didn't expect that she would be defeated after just a few words. At this time, she was still despising her for being incompetent.
Seeing that she was still putting all the blame on herself, Mrs. Qian jumped up on the spot, her voice piercing: "How dare you honestly say that you didn't isolate me?"
"So what even if I isolate you? Don't you think about your own face? Who here likes you?" Xu Lu said to her with a frown.
"There are still people who like her."
Yang Xiaolan suddenly changed her tone and pointed at Meng Xiaoying and Xu Wei, "Look, these two like you. They didn't isolate you, and they defended you regardless of right or wrong. They are very close to you."
Being insulted by her sarcasm, Meng Xiaoying said with a dark face, "Sister-in-law Yang, why are you being so sarcastic? I just said that we were deceived by her."
"You were deceived by her, why should I be the one to suffer the wrath and be blamed?"
Yang Xiaolan was now dissatisfied with everything about her. She had a quick temper to begin with, and now she spoke very harshly.
"Since you are such a busybody, why don't you take this old woman who loves to take money home and keep her as your own?"
"I'm a sarcastic person, and I'm from the countryside and have no education. I'd rather feed my stuff to a dog than to this old thing."
"I just want to isolate her and not associate with this old woman. I will never unite with this old woman and her daughter and help each other. If you like to help them, take her back and help them well."
"If you like to lecture others, don't lecture me. My mother, parents, in-laws, and husband have never criticized me. You have no right to do so. Get out of here."
It was the first time that Meng Xiaoying was told to "get out". Tears immediately welled up in her eyes and she burst into tears out of grievance.
"You still have the nerve to cry? You forced me to apologize for no reason, and I was just beaten by this old woman and her daughter, and I haven't even cried yet." Yang Xiaolan also wanted to cry, but due to her personality, she couldn't squeeze out any tears.
"Okay, stop talking."
Jiang Yaping waited until she had vented her anger before coming over to smooth things over. She pulled her into the house and called out to her daughter, "Nizi, take your mother back home to rest and change clothes."
"You are not allowed to leave. She hurt me and she has to pay for my medical expenses." Mrs. Qian suddenly rushed out and blocked the road.
When Yang Xiaolan heard that she had to pay for the medical expenses, she became furious and rushed over to beat her up.
Jiang Yaping immediately grabbed her, pulled her aside, and shouted, "Chen Eryan, you are a dead person! Hurry up and take your mother back. Don't embarrass yourself here."
"She injured my mother, so she should pay for the medical expenses."
Chen Eryan inherited her mother's personality and temper, and the desire to take advantage of others is ingrained in her bones.
She was well aware of my mother's power. She rolled her eyes and turned to point the finger at Gong Linglong: "And you, you pushed my mother to the ground and she got hurt. Your family should pay compensation too."
Suddenly being blackmailed for money, Gong Linglong smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "You want us to pay you back, right? Fine, I'll have a good talk with you later."
After saying that, he turned to Yang Xiaolan and said, "Sister-in-law Xiaolan, I'm new here and I'm not familiar with some of the rules in the army. Now she wants us to pay compensation, but I want to sue this old woman Qian for breaking into a private house and stealing things. You should also want to sue her. Disputes in the military family quarters should be handled by the political commissar. You can ask the political commissar to come, or perhaps other leaders in the army, and ask them to handle this matter."
"Okay, I'll go."
Yang Xiaolan said as she was about to leave, "Sister Linglong, I don't have a bicycle at home. Can you lend me yours?"
Gong Linglong handed the key to her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, please open the door and give the bicycle to Sister-in-law Xiaolan."
Seeing that they were about to call the political commissar, Chen Eryan's face changed and she immediately rushed over to stop them. "My mother didn't break into people's houses and steal things as you said. She just came to visit your house."
Gong Linglong had seen many shameless people like her. "Ask the sisters-in-law around here. They all saw it. Was your mother just visiting or forcing her way in? They all have sharp eyes."
"I just went to visit. I didn't force my way in. I didn't even have time to sit down after entering the house before you pushed me out. You pushed me to the ground so hard that I got hurt." At a time like this, Mrs. Qian would naturally stand on the same side as her daughter.
"What's the point of saying this now? You can talk to the political commissar later. We can each stick to our own opinions, and they will investigate."
Gong Linglong would not tolerate this mother and daughter. If they succeeded in extorting money from her today, she would have no peace in the future.
After saying that, he pointed to the back room, looked at her shoes, and continued, "There should still be your footprints in my house. You came directly into our bedroom. This is the first time I've seen you visit like this."
Mrs. Qian's droopy eyes moved, but she shamelessly refused to admit it. "I didn't go into your house. I only took a few steps towards your house. Those footprints are yours."
No one believed her. Many neighbors had seen her rush in. Xu Lu sneered, "You weren't invited in, yet you barged straight into their bedroom and claimed you were just visiting. You've never seen anything so shameless as you and your daughter. You've completely disgraced the Chen family."
Yu Ximei looked at them coldly and made her position clear on the spot: "When my husband comes back, I will definitely have a good talk with him about your behavior. Family members with bad behavior like you should not stay in the family compound and disrupt unity and peace."
