Chapter 179: This Isn’t Over

Captain Wang stomped his feet in anger, “You make it sound so simple. If she really dies, can you afford to pay for it?”

No matter what Captain Wang said, Luo Caixia remained unmoved. She just crossed her arms and sneered as Liu Feng put on a show.

Captain Wang was helpless, “Please, just do it for me, okay? My affair hasn’t blown over yet, if this gets bigger, I’ll get another reprimand.”

“Reprimand, so be it. You’ll get reprimanded regardless.” Luo Caixia didn’t care, she even spat at Captain Wang, cursing, “Serves you right. Another reprimand, that’s what it takes for you to learn your lesson.”

Unable to persuade his cold-blooded wife, Captain Wang could only try to reason with the gentle Liu Feng.

“Comrade Liu Feng, let’s talk things out. You absolutely cannot commit suicide.” Captain Wang was genuinely afraid.

If Liu Feng died in his house, forget about reprimands, he might be transferred back to his hometown immediately.

He felt there was still some affection between them. Even if there wasn’t, he had secretly lent Liu Feng a lot of money. Liu Feng wouldn’t be so heartless as to not give him face.

But Liu Feng, at this moment, wasn’t there to listen to reason, she was there to die.

“If I die now, I’ll be innocent. Later, it might not be so clear.” Liu Feng cried, “I haven’t done anything. Why am I being pointed at and gossiped about?”

“Time will tell. With time, everyone will know what’s going on.” Captain Wang earnestly persuaded.

“But your two-person drama has ruined my reputation. I can’t even get married now, what kind of future is there?”

Liu Feng wasn’t from the family compound, she looked unfamiliar, and her arrival had already attracted attention from some people.

This argument between the two immediately drew a crowd.

With the gossip happening right at their doorstep, Lin Xiangnan and Gu Zhenhua couldn’t resist coming to watch.

With outsiders present, Captain Wang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, shouting, “Come on, you guys, try to persuade her.”

The onlookers exchanged glances, but no one moved.

The men didn’t dare step forward, while the women all sided with Luo Caixia, unwilling to intervene, they simply wanted to see what kind of ruckus Liu Feng could create.

The scene instantly turned cold.

Lin Xiangnan rubbed his arms, the atmosphere was rather awkward.

Committing suicide in public requires a certain amount of nerve.

But since Liu Feng dared to come and do this, it meant she had a few tricks up her sleeve. She gritted her teeth, hardened her heart, and truly put her neck in the noose.

The moment she hung herself, the feeling of suffocation brought a momentary regret to Liu Feng’s heart, but this regret quickly vanished.

She was certain that everyone wouldn’t watch her die.

Reality did indeed play out this way.

As soon as she showed a look of discomfort on her face, the onlookers, who were enjoying the drama, started to scramble.

“Oh my goodness, she’s really hanging herself.”

“Quick, quick, quick, lend a hand, don’t let her really die, it’s bad luck.”

Political Commissar Xu frantically nagged Chen Xiulan, “I told you to go stop her earlier, you didn’t listen. Now look, she’s really hanging herself. You’re going to drive me crazy.”

“It’s not too late to save her even after she’s hung herself. There are so many people here, Liu Feng can’t really hang herself in front of us.” Chen Xiulan complained, but her hands moved quickly, helping to support Liu Feng.

Lin Xiangnan remained steady, expressing concern, “Oh dear, Comrade Liu Feng is so desperate for death, she wouldn’t have drunk pesticide before coming here, would she? Should we send her to the hospital for a stomach pump?”

Regardless of Liu Feng’s motives, he would dismantle the stage for her first, and see what kind of drama she could create.

Captain Wang didn’t want Liu Feng to cause trouble in his house either, urging, “Yes, yes, quickly send her to the hospital for a check-up. I’m really not convenient, so I’ll trouble you guys.”

The enthusiastic onlookers were genuinely ready to take Liu Feng to the hospital.

But Liu Feng waved her hand, pushing everyone away, “Don’t pull me! Who told you to save me? I’m better off dead now.”

She cried and spoke sarcastically to everyone, “You dare to watch the Wang family’s drama? Aren’t you afraid that Captain Wang will talk to you a little more, and Luo Caixia will come after you?”

It was precisely because there was no catching them in bed that this matter was a case of he said, she said. Captain Wang was punished because the matter became a big deal, affecting morale.

If he had been truly caught cheating, demotion would be the least of his worries.

“Luo Caixia suspects me for no reason, how can I explain myself, it’s useless.” Liu Feng sneered, “I can’t explain myself now. Will you be able to explain yourselves later?”

She had a point, several female comrades present looked embarrassed.

At this moment, Luo Caixia, who had been silent, spoke up.

“Which woman here doesn’t have a better husband than my old Wang? Their eyes aren’t blind, they don’t want their own good men, they come outside to pick up scraps.”

Captain Wang’s face turned black.

But the female comrades present couldn’t help but laugh. While Luo Caixia’s words were a bit harsh, they were true.

From the moment Captain Wang’s ex-wife was still doing his laundry and cooking for him while she was recovering from childbirth, his reputation among the women in the family compound had been bad, and it had plummeted even further after he hit his wife.

The people living in the family compound, the lowest-ranking men were at least deputy battalion commanders, Captain Wang’s position wasn’t particularly high.

In comparison, Captain Wang didn’t really make the list of good husbands.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Liu Feng knew that her attempt to sow discord seemed to be ineffective.

Since the onlookers were hindering her performance, Liu Feng didn’t want to continue performing in front of everyone.

She wiped the tears from her face, “Fine, you’re stopping me from hanging myself today, I won’t hang myself. I’ll go back and drink pesticide, I’ll drink it and come back. Anyway, you’ve ruined my life, I’ll die and take you all down with me.”

Although she said this, as soon as she went back, she was called in for a talk by the factory leaders, and she didn’t have a chance to drink the poison.

“It wasn’t a big deal to begin with. In the future, be mindful of your words when talking to Captain Wang, and this matter will pass. You have to make such a fuss, you’ve only made things worse.”

The factory leader scolded, “You’ve made a fool of yourself and even brought it outside. You even wanted to go to the military family compound to cause trouble, do you believe that tomorrow you won’t even be able to enter the family compound, the guards are on the lookout for you.”

“Why can’t I go to the family compound?” Liu Feng said angrily, “Is my grievance just going to be in vain?”

“You have grievances? Luo Caixia has grievances too. Alright, this matter ends here, don’t cause any more trouble.” The factory leader reminded, “You need to be mindful of your identity.”

Liu Feng’s ancestors were landlords, her background was bad, she was naturally inferior, and besides, she was in the wrong in this matter.

“It’s already come to this, what else do I have to fear.” Liu Feng bit her lip and said, “If I can’t get into the family compound, I’ll go to the canteen and find Luo Caixia. If she doesn’t give me an explanation, this matter isn’t over!”
