12. The military wife in the lower hall (12)
Lin Shiheng didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere between the women. He held the clothes in his hands and asked inquiringly: "Sister-in-law Li?"
"Hey, eh, no problem, leave it to me."
This Sister Li was older and had a calm temperament. She didn't mention what Zhou Qianqian said just now. After reacting, she took the clothes over with a smile, touched the material and praised: "This is good material."
"I don't understand this either. I just listened to the recommendation of the clothes seller. I'll leave it to you, Sister-in-law Li. My wife is still at home, so I'll go back first. I'll bring some good wine to your Gangzi tomorrow. go."
"Hey, come here and bring any wine."
Zhou Qianqian had a stiff look on her face, clutching the plastic bag tightly in her hands, and looked at Lin Shiheng and Sister Li without saying a word, saying a few polite words and leaving with a smile.
As soon as he left, a military wife who usually disliked her immediately spoke: "What did someone say just now? Eating plastic bags?"
"Hey, stop saying a few words!"
Sister Li quickly grabbed her and smoothed things over: "Qianqian is young and ignorant. She only misunderstood her because she has never been in contact with Captain Lin. It's okay if the misunderstanding is resolved. Okay, it's getting late. Let's do it today." Let’s break up.”
She intentionally handed the steps, but Zhou Qianqian refused to lower her head, and threw the plastic bag in her hand on the ground with a livid face, "Who knows if he is pretending! Just watch, he has been pretending for a day, but he will not keep pretending!"
"Sooner or later you will know who is at fault!"
After saying that, she left angrily, leaving the military wife who spoke out and said: "Is she still reasonable?"
"Young girl, act like no one knows what she is thinking."
Why, if Captain Lin buys a new dress for his wife, she will eat this plastic bag. If you have the ability, don’t add the sentence that they are not allowed to tell Captain Lin. With this sentence, as soon as Captain Lin buys clothes, , regardless of whether Zhou Qianqian was told or not, it can be said that someone told her.
It's a pity that even God didn't help her. As soon as she said this, Captain Lin came back with new clothes.
"Okay, stop talking. It's so late. Let's go back quickly."
"Sister Li, please stop being such a bad person. Don't you see that Zhou Qianqian doesn't appreciate her at all? Look, she has lost face today, and she will definitely have to pick on Captain Lin everywhere in the future."
"I really don't know what to think. She's already in the army. Can't she live a good life with her husband? Captain Lin is in charge of her man. She's not afraid of causing trouble to her family by doing such nonsense."
"It's not because Captain Lin has a good temper and doesn't know how to avenge himself. Okay, okay, stop talking. Sister Li, Ah Qiao is right. Zhou Qianqian is too out of touch. If you help her, she still blames you and does what I do." Look, she will have to talk nonsense in the future and offend Captain Lin again. Even if you treat her well, she will hate you. The men in our family are still working under Captain Lin, so stay away from her. "
Sister Li was persuaded by them in turn. Although she didn't think Captain Lin was a grudge-bearing character, she was still worried about affecting her men. "Okay, I understand. I will pay attention to it in the future."
She thought, Captain Lin had bought such beautiful new clothes for his wife, Zhou Qianqian wouldn't be so brainless anymore and gossip, right?
Zhou Qianqian is so brainless.
She was embarrassed this time, and she blamed Lin Shiheng for all her resentment and humiliating grievances.
He must have done it on purpose, otherwise how could he not mention his wife for three years and then suddenly receive troops and buy new clothes for her.
And Sister Miao Xing, Zhou Qianqian felt heartbroken when she thought of the sadness on her face the last time they met. It would be fine if Lin Shiheng, such a good Sister Miao Xing, doesn't cherish her and spreads false rumors.
Sister Miao Xing is a new century woman and the person she admires the most. How could she still pursue Lin Shiheng when she knew he had a wife?
The more Zhou Qianqian thought about it, the angrier she became. She even wanted to see Lin Shiheng's wife. But when she thought that she had lost such a big face outside and would be ridiculed if she went out now, she could only sit back angrily.
She was not stupid. She knew that she would be laughed at if she showed up these days, so she held it in for several days before coming out.
There were so many people in the compound, so the worst thing to do was just say no with those people.
Zhou Qianqian went to the laundry room with the wash basin in her arms. When she saw a woman in her forties who was bending over to wash clothes, her eyes immediately lit up.
This is Mrs. Zhang, the person who usually spreads gossip the most.
Zhou Qianqian held the washbasin and placed it next to her. After saying hello, she began to bring the topic to Lin Shiheng without leaving any trace.
"What? You haven't mentioned a wife for three years? You can't."
Sister-in-law Zhang looked surprised: "Qianqian, have you not gone out these days? In the past two days, soldiers have been coming to the compound to visit Captain Lin and his wife. They said that Captain Lin always mentioned his wife to them and praised her to the sky. As soon as this person arrived, a group of people couldn’t wait to see him.”
Zhou Qianqian was caught off guard by the reply. She clearly remembered that not many people knew about Lin Shiheng's wife.
"Not many people know what it is!"
Sister-in-law Zhang kindly explained: "Captain Lin is a wife-loving person. As long as she doesn't have any problems or training, she will never leave her. I used to be a hard-working person. Look, since my wife came, whenever she comes, Kong is accompanying him. He bought some pots and pans a while ago, and we were talking about it, saying that his wife was cooking, and we wanted to start the fire ourselves. "
"As a result, Captain Lin said that his wife had been practicing calligraphy recently and was already very tired while making clothes for him. He refused to let his wife cook, and she was cooking with a shovel every day! "
Zhou Qianqian was stunned when she heard this, "How is that possible? If he really loves his wife, he can let her stay in his hometown for three years."
"You kid, why don't you ask any questions? Captain Lin lost his father in his early years and was raised by his mother. He is also an only son. If he goes to the army and takes his wife with him, then his mother will not be alone. Home.”
"This time, we are still building a house at home. It is inconvenient for Captain Lin's wife to be pregnant, so she came with her. She has been taking care of her mother-in-law at home for the past three years, which is not what you said. Don't go around talking nonsense in the future. It's my fault. If it were anyone else, I would have said that you deliberately spread rumors."
"Okay, I'm done washing, I'm leaving now."
Zhou Qianqian watched Sister-in-law Zhang leave with a dazed look on her face.
how can that be possible.
Didn't Sister Miao say that Lin Shiheng never mentioned his wife to her at all? Why now, Sister-in-law Zhang said that a group of people know it.
No, no, Miao Xing would not lie to her.
Lin Shiheng was just pretending to be nice, and he also wanted to know how he could be willing to leave his newlywed wife as he just got married.
She didn't believe it. Could it be that everyone in the army said that Lin Shiheng was getting better?
Zhou Qianqian stopped washing her clothes and walked out with the wash basin in her arms. However, within two steps, she saw a young man with a grimace on his face, trembling when he walked, and dust still on his body, wandering over feebly.
Curiously, she pulled a woman sitting on the bench mending insoles and asked, "Who is this? I've never seen her before."
"He? The younger brother of Captain Lin's wife."
The woman bit off the thread and replied casually: "It's so miserable. I was just punished for fifty laps on the playground. If I stop, I will add ten more laps. In addition to training these days, I just watched him run around on the playground."
Zhou Qianqian's eyes lit up little by little.
She thought she had found evidence that Captain Lin didn't want to see his wife!
If she wanted to see this, could she treat her brother like this?
He Xiaobao was limping forward, grinning in pain with every step he took. He wiped his red eyes miserably and made sure there were no tears before continuing to move forward.
If he had been punished like this before, he would have cried in grievance, but that was not the case here. People here, whether they were men or women, would laugh at him as a baby when they saw him crying. He could no longer make women do things. Last time He just spoke to a female soldier in the wrong tone, and was immediately beaten. In addition, He Xiaobao was too tired from being punished to run in circles every day, and He Xiaobao didn't even have the strength to speak.
Fortunately, he thought that the third sister would definitely help him apply the medicinal wine when she saw him, which gave him some motivation to move.
As I was walking hard, a roadblock suddenly appeared in front of me.
He Xiaobao raised his head with difficulty and saw that the woman's expression immediately frightened.
He was so beaten by the female soldier that he felt a shadow.
"Are you the brother of Captain Lin's wife?"
Zhou Qianqian looked at the face in front of her that was younger than her own, as if she was aggrieved: "Why is Captain Lin like this? He doesn't take care of you at all!"
He Xiaobao's mind immediately showed the image of Deputy Zhang raising his head arrogantly: "Captain Lin asked me to take care of you. The care of our troops is training! Come on! Run around in circles!"
He has been "taken care of" like this, and this woman still wants her brother-in-law to "take care of" him!
Who is this?
The look on his face immediately turned angry, and he gestured to his sore hands and feet. He felt that he could not defeat the woman opposite him now, so he could only lower his head and walked away without saying a word.
"Hey, hey! Don't leave, I'm talking to you."
Zhou Qianqian subconsciously went to stop him, but she was in a hurry and He Xiaobao's legs were weak.
——Plop!
He fell down completely.
He Xiaobao lay on the ground, thinking that he had been punished by running around in circles, being teased by his mother, beaten by female soldiers, and now being bullied by strangers, and the tears of grievance he had been holding back fell down.
He got up on his hands and knees, pointed at Zhou Qianqian and loudly accused him: "You, you are going too far!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he found that everyone in the courtyard looked over. Thinking of the tears on his face and being laughed at when he cried before, He Xiaobao closed his mouth in grievance, wiped his tears and limped forward.
Zhou Qian was left standing there stunned by his roar, accepting the strange and confused looks from the people around her.
She, what did she do to her!
On this side, He Xiaobao reached the door with difficulty and weakly patted the door.
Today, Lin Shiheng said he wanted to eat dumplings early in the morning. He Xuezhu was humming a song and making dumplings. When he heard some movement outside, he quickly put down the rolling pin and opened the door. When he opened the door, he saw a big painted face.
She was immediately shocked: "Xiaobao, what's wrong? Why are you still crying?"
"Come in, come in, did you fall? Where does it hurt? I have some medicinal wine here for you to apply."
He Xiaobao was dragged into the house. The smell of dumpling stuffing was on the tip of his nose. In front of him was his sister who was looking at him worriedly. The room was warm and not as cold as outside.
At this moment, after feeling the cruelty of outsiders and then seeing such a gentle sister, he finally realized what the warmth of a loved one is.
Everyone bullied him, even a woman he didn't know bullied him.
Only his sister is good to him.
Only his sister is not cruel to him.
His sister also made dumplings for him.
He Xiaobao hugged He Xuezhu and burst into tears.
"Sister, I will definitely treat you well in the future."
