Sure enough, it was exactly as Gu Fuqiao had guessed, Zhang Hong is indeed soone who can’t keep her mouth shut. While cooling off by the well, she gossiped with other families about Wang i’s matters.
Wang i, as expected, imdiately shifted the bla onto others, but because Wang i’s situation is still under investigation, her family is unaware of the specifics. It’s said that everything will be discussed after the investigation results are out.
Su Jili felt a surge of anxiety hearing this. There’s no doubt that Wang i is shifting the bla onto Wang Chuan, as the item was originally given to her by Wang Chuan.
"Wang Chuan is probably facing trouble this ti," Su Jili sighed.
Wang i is getting what she deserves. Although she shifted the bla, considering this is the 1980s, quite a few people witnessed that passionate scene that day, and she can’t completely clear her na this ti.
Gu Fuqiao said to Su Jili, "But that’s also because he lacks firmness in his own will."
Su Jili nodded and said, "Indeed, I expect in a few days, Wang Chuan will also be taken for investigation. It seems my brother is fully done for! Though being a ss officer doesn’t promise a great future, being a soldier is so honorable!" After speaking, he took out a cigarette from his pocket. Just as he lit it, Gu Fuqiao saw a shady figure under a distant tree.
Seeing the corner of a skirt hidden under the tree, Gu Fuqiao understood what was happening; surely, Ouyang Qing believed there was an inappropriate relationship between her and Su Jili, and she was here to gather evidence!
Ouyang Qing has ideas but lacks brains, so in this case, let her enjoy the drama!
Gu Fuqiao said to Su Jili, "Su Jili, I’ve noticed that there have been people watching you lately."
Su Jili took a puff of his cigarette, glanced at Gu Fuqiao with a peculiar expression, seemingly confirming whether Gu Fuqiao had any vision problems, then asked puzzledly, "Gu Fuqiao, are your eyes okay? Here, these arts troupe mbers are so conceited, who would be interested in !"
Gu Fuqiao pointed to the skirt corner near the tree and said, "Look, a figure is standing there. She’s not watching you, then who is she watching? It’s not like we’re in the modern era with all those girl-love, boy-love things. A woman gazing infatuatedly at a man must an sothing, right?"
Su Jili looked over, checked that figure, nodded and said, "Seems so, after all, I... hahaha..." He couldn’t hold back his laugh halfway through speaking, chuckled heartily, and said to Gu Fuqiao, "After all, my charm is irresistible. I’ll go over now!"
Having said that, Su Jili strode towards the tree.
Ouyang Qing, who was standing under the tree for a while, had gotten bitten by mosquitoes on her arms and felt displeased. Then, she saw Gu Fuqiao’s fling coming over from there, she was instantly flustered and wanted to walk away.
But there’s no way her speed could match Su Jili’s; he directly propped a hand between her and the tree, took a blade of dog’s tail grass into his mouth, and jerked his head toward Ouyang Qing, saying, "Hello, comrade, why are you following ?"
"You..." Ouyang Qing had never seen such a rogue before, and to add, she ca here to catch infidelity, leaving her terribly nervous.
"Where am I following you! You’re such a rough person, so unreasonable!" The blazing hot day had drenched Su Jili’s work uniform in sweat, making Ouyang Qing feel he reeked all over, wishing to slap him right away.
While Ouyang Qing couldn’t find the words to defend herself, Gu Fuqiao glanced at the families gossiping around the well, intentionally strolling around them.
After the last commotion Zhang Hong stirred at her house, so families still disliked Gu Fuqiao’s aloofness, but so had a changed opinion of her. Seeing her arrive, they couldn’t help greeting, "Yan Family sister-in-law, where are you going?"
"I’m just taking a walk, planning to head back." Although Zhang Hong saw her and kept quiet awkwardly, it didn’t concern anything, as Gu Fuqiao raised her head to look at the scene of Ouyang Qing and Su Jili up ahead. Now the two were suddenly tugging at each other.
The other families, seeing Gu Fuqiao watch sothing, also looked up to see a pair of n and won pulling at each other.
Though it was pulling, the woman inexplicably kept on hitting the man, and the man didn’t strike back, only using one hand to block.
It seed like a couple arguing.
"What’s wrong with these young people nowadays?" one military wife stood up.
Gu Fuqiao didn’t say anything; she simply furrowed her brow slightly, and then walked quickly towards them. Those families saw Gu Fuqiao going over, and sward over eagerly like spectators.
When Ouyang Qing saw Gu Fuqiao arriving, her face was suffused with panic. Whereas Gu Fuqiao wore a composed expression as she said calmly to Ouyang Qing, "Qingqing, why is it you?"
Su Jili, whom Ouyang Qing was hitting, froze upon hearing Gu Fuqiao’s words, dropped the hand obstructing Ouyang Qing, and asked, "So you know each other." After saying this, he turned to Ouyang Qing, who wore a sullen look, and said, "No need to attack like this if you want to know , just tell your sister-in-law, I know her."
This was precisely the effect Gu Fuqiao desired. If soone purposely fras another, sotis explanations only make things worse, not worthy of her efforts. But once things were stirred up like this, if Ouyang Qing wanted to move, it would only be self-defeating!
"Stop spouting nonsense!" Seeing Su Jili like that, Ouyang Qing raised her hand to hit him again, but Su Jili did not take this move, directly caught Ouyang Qing’s hand and said sowhat angrily, "Alright, you fierce woman, you chase , yet I’m not interested!"
"You, a poor cook, dare to say it again!" Ouyang Qing almost wanted to sew shut Su Jili’s prattling mouth.
These family wives seed to have caught sight of so good show, one by one reluctant to leave.
This was precisely what Gu Fuqiao wanted.
Gu Fuqiao imdiately turned her face sternly into a stately elder sister figure, and rebuked loudly, "Enough, Qingqing."
Ouyang Qingqing hardly understood the situation; she recalled that she ca to catch an affair, but how could it be reversed into Gu Fuqiao catching her?
"I didn’t. I didn’t..." Ouyang Qing wanted to explain but was swiftly interrupted bluntly by Gu Fuqiao, "Su Jili, Qingqing shouldn’t have hit you just now, I apologize on her behalf."
The families who ca to see the commotion were unexpected that Gu Fuqiao was so good to her own kind, even admitting the mistake for her, increasing their goodwill towards her. While those who envied her also evened out, feeling she, regardless of her aloofness, was still just like them, imrsed in the daily trifles.
