Chapter 173: The Troublemaker Has Arrived

Looking at Wang Lijuan’s ashen face, Li Chunmei felt a surge of triumph.

To emphasize her point, she pretended to be concerned and asked, “Lijuan, what’s going on?”

“I only heard a few bits and pieces, I don’t know what happened.”

“I don’t think you and your husband are the kind of people who are disorganized, undisciplined, unprincipled, and would easily report someone.”

“Could you tell me what exactly happened?”

Of course not!

Were they the kind of people with such bad intentions?

They were just vigilant!

How could they be slandering that woman surnamed Li, it was her behavior that was so suspicious!

Wang Lijuan explained everything: “Director, we really had no ill intentions!”

“The great leader taught us: ‘Imperialism will never give up its desire to destroy us, we must always be vigilant.'”

“There are things worth questioning, we report it, is that wrong?”

Seeing Wang Lijuan so angry, Li Chunmei was even more pleased.

“Of course it’s not wrong, could the leader’s words be wrong? It’s not that you are wrong, but that your background is too small!”

“It was just a misunderstanding, she had to make such a big fuss, she was clearly using her connections to retaliate!”

“Lijuan, you can’t blame anyone for this.”

“If you have to blame someone, blame yourselves for not having a strong background!”

“If your background was stronger than hers, would your husband Wu Liang still be punished like this?”

Yes!

The division commander and the political commissar, weren’t they protecting Chen Mingchuan?

Who doesn’t have a background?

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Lijuan’s eyes lit up!

“Director, are you saying… if we find a bigger backer, this punishment can be erased?”

Li Chunmei continued, “I didn’t say that, I was just chatting with you.”

Wang Lijuan nodded intelligently, “Thank you for your guidance, Director, you are so kind, talking to you made me feel much better.”

“It’s almost time for work, let’s go together.”

Li Chunmei’s eyes flashed: Wang Lijuan, I hope you will do as I wish, don’t just let this go, you must make a big deal out of it!

There are two deputy regiment positions vacant at the end of the year, but there are four or five people who meet the requirements.

Xiao Nan is the division commander’s nephew, so he will naturally take one.

Chen Mingchuan is the division commander’s favorite, and he is said to be going on a mission again, he will definitely make a contribution.

If he makes a contribution, my husband won’t be able to get this position!

“Alright, let’s go!”

These two women walking together was something Li Xinyue couldn’t even dream of, she didn’t know that Li Chunmei was hoping for her and Wang Lijuan to fight.

Meanwhile, on the mountain, three women were chattering happily…

“I didn’t expect there to be so many of these things here, if you hadn’t told me it was Adenophora, I would have thought it was wild radish.”

Qian Sanni had never dug herbs in her twenty years of life, nor had she ever seen them.

This was her first time digging herbs, and she had dug quite a lot, her mood was like a bird let loose, she was so happy.

Xu Hongqin laughed, “Don’t tire yourself out, I’ll dig some for you later.”

Qian Sanni waved her small iron hoe, “No, no, sister-in-law, I used to help my mother plant vegetables at home.”

“My family has a small courtyard, and there are a lot of vegetables planted in the courtyard.”

“Besides, this mountain was burned last year, the soil is very loose, it’s easy to dig.”

“Xinyue, what other herbs are both nutritious and easy to dig? Next time, you have to bring me here again.”

Li Xinyue smiled, “There is, there is a large patch of Polygonatum over there, but it’s not so easy to dig.”

“This Polygonatum is also a good thing, after seven steams and seven sun-dryings, it can be used as medicine and as a snack.”

“Huh?”

“Seven steams and seven sun-dryings?”

“That’s too difficult, right?”

Xu Hongqin also thought it was too difficult. Seven steams and seven sun-dryings, she really didn’t have the time.

“Xinyue, we’ll help you dig it up later, you just give me a handful to taste when you’re done.”

Li Xinyue nodded: “No problem, we’ll come together when you have a day off.”

“Alright!”

They dug up several large baskets of Adenophora and also picked a large pile of mushrooms.

Around four o’clock, the three of them returned home happily.

“Sister Xinyue!”

As the car stopped, Ma Zhen stood at the entrance of her house and called out to her.

Li Xinyue immediately got out of the car: “Ma Zhen, are you off work?”

Ma Zhen nodded: “I heard someone went to the security office to report you? Why didn’t you ask them to find me?”

Li Xinyue smiled at her: “I didn’t do anything wrong, why would I need to call for reinforcements?”

“A righteous person is not afraid of shadows, and a straight foot is not afraid of shoes. I’m a descendant of a loyal martyr, after all!”

“Pfft!”

Ma Zhen laughed: “You’re so carefree!”

“They say a broad mind makes a fat body, why haven’t you gained any weight?”

Li Xinyue disagreed: “Who says I haven’t gained weight?”

“I’ve gained a lot, I’ve gained almost five or six pounds in the past month.”

Ma Zhen rolled her eyes: “I can’t see it! I only see your bones!”

“By the way, here are two cans of milk powder.”

“I don’t want to eat it, I’m afraid of getting fat, it’s for you.”

Just comfort her, why make excuses!

Li Xinyue took it with a smile: “We dug up some good stuff today, I’ll send you some when it’s dried!”

Ma Zhen nodded repeatedly: “Okay, I’ll help you!”

Wu Liang’s report against Li Xinyue quickly spread throughout the family compound, and many people secretly cursed the couple for being immoral.

Hearing that Wu Liang and Xu Yang had both been disciplined, and that this discipline would affect their future job arrangements after demobilization, Qian Sanni was very happy.

For this reason, she specially ran over.

“They’re so immoral, they deserve it! They deserve it!”

“This idea must have been Wang Lijuan’s, Wu Liang isn’t that bad.”

“Xinyue, you should have less contact with people like this in the future, they’re insidious!”

Contact?

Li Xinyue would never have any contact with Wang Lijuan.

Although this matter was very frustrating, it was worth it if it could teach certain people a lesson.

“I’ve never had any contact with her, I really don’t know how I offended her!”

Hearing this, Qian Sanni looked at her with contempt: “Why do you need to offend her?”

“Her heart is smaller than a needle’s eye.”

“You’re prettier than her, your husband is more successful than her husband, so she’s jealous of you!”

Alright!

That’s a reason, I guess.

But this can also be a reason to harm someone, that person’s heart is too terrible!

Li Xinyue took a deep breath: “Alright, let’s not talk about this bad person, I’m going to work.”

Qian Sanni nodded repeatedly: “Yes, yes, yes, you go ahead and get busy!”

She had a lot of medicine dug up today, and the ones she dug up yesterday were almost dried, she put them away on the other side.

Ma Zhen was sent here, she stayed with her until evening, and the two of them went to pick up Chen Yiheng together.

“We’ll have braised pork tonight, come and eat together?”

The staff canteen hadn’t had meat for a long time, as soon as Li Xinyue said this, Ma Zhen’s eyes lit up.

“Okay, I’ll bring the rice over later.”

The two of them started to prepare, two dishes and one soup, it wouldn’t take too long.

Soon, the vegetables were chopped and ready to be cooked.

Suddenly, a shout came: “Someone fell into the water, someone fell into the pond!”
