"You’re such a fool, don’t you even know where you went wrong? What are you doing? If it weren’t for you always finding our leader, gossiping with those neighbors, would the leader ask such questions? Are you happy now that my reputation is ruined?" Liu Gang sneered, "You don’t need to stay here with . Besides causing trouble, what else can you do? Just stay here, and once you get better, hurry up and go back to the countryside! I don’t need you to be in the army anymore." After he finished speaking, he left with a flick of his sleeve.
Ai i was utterly dumbfounded, go back to the countryside? Her husband’s family hasn’t liked her for a long ti, eager to divorce; if she goes back, won’t it be the end of her? And her brothers back ho are all married; there’s no room for her to stay with her family anymore.
If she returns to the countryside, she won’t be able to survive. The neighbors’ gossip alone could drown her!
Besides, Liu Gang didn’t like her in the first place. If she really left, he would surely find another woman!
Now Ai i was full of regret, covering her face and crying, "What am I going to do now?"
At this mont, a figure passed outside. It turned out there was a young nurse at the door when the leader talked to them, who liked to gossip. She heard their conversation and pursed her lips, quietly spreading the word out. In less than a day, everyone in the compound knew about it and looked down on Ai i.
Zhuang Lin heard about it and laughed heartily. Although she didn’t like Sun Chan, she was even more annoyed by Ai i.
Because earlier, she saw Ai i’s face all swollen and knew she must have been beaten.
Zhuang Lin spread the word like she was a school queen.
Unexpectedly, Ai i ca to her house in the afternoon and scolded Zhuang Lin in front of her husband, "When was I ever beaten? I just hit a door. Are you hoping my husband and I don’t get along? Are you so unkind, wishing for my misfortune?"
As a result, Zhuang Lin’s husband ignored her for a month because of this incident, and she didn’t get a penny of his salary.
Zhuang Lin had to humble herself and serve her husband for two months before things got better.
Now upon hearing that Ai i and her husband were trying to involve Gu Junming and his wife, but were easily thwarted, and Liu Gang’s reputation was ruined too, she was overjoyed.
"Serves them right! I hope you enjoy your misfortune!"
Zhuang Lin thought of Sun Chan then, sneered and said, "Playing the good person over there, look what happened now? Got bitten back, no pride left, no one’s going to buy your act, just a fool!"
Zhuang Lin was so thrilled at heart, she couldn’t sit still any longer, and went out to stroll. She spread all these words, adding fuel and vinegar to them as well.
Sun Chan didn’t know, but rumors were getting worse and worse. Most claid to be on Ai i’s side, saying how everyone was eager to rescue her that day, and she even said her husband bullied and hit her, so why did it change suddenly? Was the plan always to fra Gu Junming? How immoral!
Others spoke of Sun Chan, pretending to be good, but got bitten back, a deserved rebuke for her pretense!
Zhuang Lin cracked sunflower seeds and said excitedly, "Sun Chan just wants to make her husband happy. Otherwise, why do sothing so thankless? And who’d have thought she’s so calculating at such a young age!"
"Yeah, otherwise how could she be a boss at her age?"
"Hmph!" Zhuang Lin sneered, "She’s not a boss, just working for others! Without so looks, no one would even bother with her, what else could she do?"
So agreed, while others didn’t. Just then, soone in the back said, "Zhuang Lin, watch your mouth!"
Everyone was startled, looking back to see it was Zheng Lijuan.
Zheng Lijuan had a notoriously bad temper. When soone spread rumors about her before, she chased and scolded them for days. Even Zhuang Lin was a bit scared, not because she didn’t dare to argue, but because Zheng Lijuan’s husband was the direct leader of Zhuang Lin’s husband.
She was angry but didn’t dare to speak, "We didn’t say much anyway. Do you really need to get this angry?"
"Yes, I am this angry. Sun Chan has been staying here for so long, and hasn’t hard anyone, just staying properly in the compound, and you’re defaming people behind their backs? Last night it wasn’t just her saving people, I was there too, so how do you want to defa ?"
"You see, I didn’t an that... just talking, why take it seriously?"
"If soone were talking about you, you wouldn’t say that. Don’t do to others what you don’t want done to you. But nevermind! You aren’t even cultured enough to understand. If we hadn’t cared for Ai i, there could have been a serious incident! We’re all army wives; should we just stand by and watch? If there’s nothing to do, go ho and cook, and stop gossiping here and there." After finishing, Zheng Lijuan looked coldly at the gossiping won, making them feel very uncomfortable, and they all left.
Zhuang Lin was angry but didn’t dare to say anything, quickly leaving. In her heart, she cursed Zheng Lijuan for ddling.
Sun Chan didn’t know, but Gu Junming quickly found out about these things. He was the first to co back and heard people talking, slightly frowned, but didn’t care to argue. After entering the house, he planned to change his shoes and start cooking.
Just then, Liu Gang, who had been watching the commotion downstairs, hurriedly ca down and greeted Gu Junming warmly.
"You’re back? Thanks for saving my wife yesterday, I hadn’t had the chance to thank you yet."
Gu Junming replied indifferently, "It’s nothing. Isn’t this what neighbors should do?"
"Ah, there’s sothing I have to tell you... ah, it’s all just neighbors gossiping, my wife misunderstood and said so things to the investigating leader. Please don’t mind, we’re good comrades, I don’t believe any of it, we are good comrades."
Gu Junming interrupted him, "No need to mind these rumors. Her head is fine, and it’s more important for you two to live harmoniously as a couple. I have things to do, so I’ll go back in." Then, without waiting for a reply, he closed the door.
Liu Gang looked at her reaction and frowned, "What was that? Is he mad at now? Really so petty and rude, acting so cold over a few rumors, such a pretender."
Thinking this, he angrily returned ho, finding his wife not there, and no one to cook for him.
Not being much of a cook, he haphazardly fried so cabbage and boiled so noodles. The noodles were still sticky and undercooked.
"Damn, marrying such a useless woman, can’t even take care of ! Always making trouble for , this is ridiculous! This ti I must get a divorce." Eating the sticky noodles, he planned in his heart, thinking Ai i had really angered Gu Junming this ti. What’s the punishnt for framing a leader? And here I was wondering how to get a divorce from her."
