Zhang Yuhuan smiled slightly and said earnestly, "Sister-in-law, there’s sothing I think you should know about sooner rather than later."
Wan Chu’er recalled the expressions of the people in the courtyard earlier and said, "Co in and talk."
After the door was closed, Zhang Yuhuan took out a small digital cara from her bag, pressed a few buttons, and handed it to Wan Chu’er.
"Sister-in-law, take a look at this first."
Wan Chu’er took the cara with a suspicious look, and her brows furrowed slightly as she looked at the screen, which showed a piece of paper filled with writing, or rather, a big-character poster.
The content was quite ludicrous; it said that in the process of recruiting teachers for the Huangjiagou School, a military wife had bribed Wan Chu’er, causing a bad influence and tarnishing the reputation of military families, calling for a serious investigation by the organization.
"In this day and age, there are actually still people playing with big-character posters." Mai Qiqi’s voice ca from the side.
After taking a shower, Mai Qiqi ca out and saw a stranger in the house, while Wan Chu’er was frowning and looking down at the cara. She leaned over for a look and then burst into laughter.
This secluded and poor mountain ravine is truly interesting!
Wan Chu’er asked, "Where was this photographed from? When did this happen?"
"It happened three days ago. In the morning, when people got up, they found this thing posted on the notice wall in the courtyard. Almost everyone in the courtyard knew about it, and it was removed by military personnel on the sa day.
I heard that as soon as Captain Jiang returned this morning, he was taken away for investigation," Zhang Yuhuan chattered away with much detail.
Wan Chu’er nodded, returned the cara to Zhang Yuhuan, and said with a smile, "Thank you. I brought back so specialties from Beijing; take so and try them." She then started to rummage through her luggage.
Seeing Wan Chu’er taking it so lightly, Zhang Yuhuan was very surprised and urged,
"Sister-in-law, please don’t give any, it’s a sensitive period now, we should be more careful. I ca to give you a heads-up, who knows when the military might co to question you, think ahead for a counterasure."
Before Wan Chu’er could say anything, Mai Qiqi laughed first and said, "Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal at all, take the food, it’s really delicious, I picked it myself."
Zhang Yuhuan blinked, thinking that this woman seed to be very close to Wan Chu’er.
She couldn’t figure out what Wan Chu’er and Jiang Kechu were relying on, but she felt it was better to be cautious and firmly refused.
"Sister-in-law, I really can’t take it. If it weren’t for this incident, I wouldn’t hesitate to accept anything from you, but now it’s better not to give others leverage."
Seeing Zhang Yuhuan’s reaction, Wan Chu’er did not insist on giving and said with a smile, "Okay, after this matter is over, Jiang Kechu and I will invite you and your husband over for dinner."
"That’s fine, just be careful. If you need any help looking after the children, just co and find ," Zhang Yuhuan said with relief.
Before leaving, Wan Chu’er asked one more question, "Has it been decided who will teach in our family’s residential area?"
"Huh?" After being slightly slow to react, Zhang Yuhuan said, "The school has settled on three teachers in total, two are from among us military wives, myself and Political Commissioner Zhu’s wife Lin Xiaozhi, and the other one is the daughter of Village Chief Huang, who was already teaching in the county. After learning that there is a school here, she voluntarily gave up her position in the county to co back."
"Alright, I’ve got it. Thanks," Wan Chu’er said with a smile as she saw Zhang Yuhuan out.
As soon as Zhang Yuhuan left, Mai Qiqi burst into hearty laughter.
"Accepting bribes, a giant waterlon? Causing a bad influence? Haha, Wan Chu’er, this place is indeed entertaining; I’m really looking forward to seeing those people’s faces when they find out you’re a rich lady."
Wan Chu’er looked at her indifferently, "People will say the wealthier one is, the more stingy they beco, the more they like to scrape and scrounge."
Mai Qiqi laughed even harder, "You stingy? Fond of scraping and scrounging? Haha, I can’t take it anymore, I have to tell Lin Yufei about this."
Alright, if it makes you happy, this matter isn’t completely pointless.
Wan Chu’er picked up the phone to dial Jiang Kechu’s number, she was testing the waters, as Zhang Yuhuan had just ntioned that Jiang Kechu was taken away for an investigation.
To her surprise, the call was answered after just two rings, and Jiang Kechu’s steady voice was a pleasant shock to her ears.
"Jiang Kechu, I’ve brought the kids back."
"Mm, I’ll be ho in a bit." Jiang Kechu’s voice was filled with happiness. It seed everything was fine, and by tacit agreent, they both avoided bringing up the matter of the big-character poster accusation.
As Wan Chu’er noticed he was about to hang up, she quickly added, "Mai Qiqi is here too, help her find a place to stay."
"Okay."
Not even an hour after the call ended, Jiang Kechu ca back.
"Brother Jiang." In front of Jiang Kechu, Mai Qiqi was much more reserved, and she greeted him with a touch of restraint.
Jiang Kechu glanced at Wan Chu’er and casually grunted an acknowledgnt, "Chen Ke is outside, let him show you to your place."
Huh? Mai Qiqi was stunned. Was he talking to her? Why wasn’t he looking at her?
Well, she’d better quickly leave, not wanting to be a third wheel to the couple, so she said "Oh," and headed out the door.
Jiang Kechu asked, "Where are the son and daughter?"
Wan Chu’er looked at him with a grin, "They’re asleep, now it’s just the two of us."
The next second, Wan Chu’er was swept into Jiang Kechu’s arms and spun around on the spot, hastily wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Ah—"
Suddenly, there was a shout, and both turned their heads just in ti to see Mai Qiqi’s head duck back from the doorfra, with Mai Qiqi’s voice coming from outside.
"I’ll just grab my luggage now to avoid interrupting you guys at a critical mont."
Wan Chu’er: "..." You little brat!
Jiang Kechu: "..." Not very discreet.
Looking down and seeing the smile at the corner of Jiang Kechu’s mouth, Wan Chu’er gave him a thump, "Put down."
Obediently, Jiang Kechu set her down, then said, "I’ll go check on the kids." With that, he went into Chuanqi and Hunter’s bedroom.
Wan Chu’er opened the door, and through gritted teeth, said to Mai Qiqi, "You did that on purpose, didn’t you? You were crazier than back then!"
"Hehe, I did it on purpose," Mai Qiqi said with a triumphant laugh, "He should’ve expected this for rushing out as soon as he got back."
Wan Chu’er stared at her for a second, then imdiately opened her mouth to shout, "Jiang.... mmph."
"Milady, I was wrong." Mai Qiqi quickly conceded, "If Jiang Kechu finds out, I dare not visit your ho ever again."
Only then did Wan Chu’er snort and walked out with one large suitcase each.
The exchange between the two had been heard clearly by Chen Ke in the corridor outside and by Jiang Kechu in the room. Chen Ke thought to himself: If anyone dares to spoil Captain Jiang’s mont, this girl is dood.
Late at night, when all was still, Wan Chu’er lay gasping for breath on Jiang Kechu’s chest.
"Weren’t we supposed to stay ho for four months? Why did you co back so soon?" Jiang Kechu asked.
