Chapter 1636: Chapter 1636: A Thousand Yuan Dowry 2
Even though Feng Qingxue had already learned about Wang Xiuhua’s background and family situation from other military spouses, she still pretended not to know and asked Wan Xinguo how they found this place without giving any prior notice.
“We ca to see the old man, only to find out Lu Jiang was reassigned here,” Wang Xiuhua replied.
“The old man?”
Seeing the confusion on Feng Qingxue’s face, Wang Xiuhua shrugged, “That’s your unit’s Chief of Staff, Wang Ergouzi.”
“Wang Ergouzi?” Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue said simultaneously, surprised that the Chief of Staff’s nickna was Ergouzi; they only knew his na as Wang Xianghong, a heart full of loyalty to the sun.
Wan Xinguo quickly added, “That’s the old comrade’s nickna.”
“We naturally knew it was a nickna, but we didn’t expect Comrade Xiuhua to be part of the Chief of Staff’s family,” Lu Jiang laughed, “So, does this an you have to go back to the Chief of Staff’s tonight?”
Wang Xiuhua replied without hesitation, “Of course! My mother was driven to death by them, they want to get rid of , no way! Each of their children spent several hundred yuan to get married, and now that I’m getting married, the old man has to pay!”
Wan Xinguo sighed, “My salary isn’t low, and I have significant savings.”
“Money doesn’t co from nowhere; it’s earned through hard work. We can’t just let the old man off because we have money, or it’ll only benefit Xie Hongi! Why should it benefit her? Why should it benefit the old man?” As Wang Xiuhua ntioned them, her teeth clenched, “I find that money filthy; giving it to the poor is like doing them a favor!”
“Alright, alright, all according to you, we won’t take it for free.” Wan Xinguo was well aware of his wife’s hatred towards the Chief of Staff couple; even after over twenty years, she found it difficult to put aside the mories of her birth mother’s death.
Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue didn’t say a word.
Concerning the past of the Chief of Staff, tangled with the regulations back then, they couldn’t comnt on it.
Wang Xiuhua and Wan Xinguo had no intention of elaborating and, after chatting briefly, got up to leave.
“Stay for a few more days, co and play tomorrow.” As Lu Jiang escorted them to the door, Feng Qingxue said, preferring Wang Xiuhua’s fierceness compared to her mother’s weakness.
Wang Xiuhua agreed without hesitation; she had already planned to stay for ten days or half a month.
Her unbridled actions left the Chief of Staff and Xie Hongi less than comfortable, especially Xie Hongi, who couldn’t help but touch the scar on her left cheek, running from the end of her eyebrow down. The cut was made by a knife blade, and she still rembered the excruciating pain vividly even after more than twenty years.
Not only had her face been injured, but the Chief of Staff also suffered a stab wound, bleeding profusely.
Wang Xiuhua’s character was both fiery and vicious, cold-hearted and ruthless, defying her elders. Xie Hongi dared not provoke her, and even now, avoided her, fearing that a disagreent would lead to violence. The Chief of Staff was at a loss with her, never dared pursue accountability after being injured because his two sons were in her grasp, equating to being held by the lifeline.
At the sound of footsteps, Xie Hongi hurriedly hid in her room, not daring to show herself, leaving the Chief of Staff to face Wan Xinguo and the bag-carrying Wang Xiuhua.
“Returned?” the Chief of Staff said indifferently.
Wan Xinguo was quite polite in his deanor towards him; however, being only seven or eight years younger than the Chief of Staff, he always referred to him as the old comrade, “Yes, just t with Comrade Lu Jiang and Sister Qingxue.”
Wang Xiuhua, however, had an expression that could be described as anything but friendly, only missing an audible snort.
