Miao Xing is a new age woman. She is Qianqian"s most admired person. How could she pursue Lin Shiheng when she knew she had a wife?
Zhou Qianqian became even angrier. She even wanted to meet Lin Shiheng"s dear wife. Just thinking of her losing so much face, and how she would be ridiculed when going outside; she could only sit back angrily.
She was not foolish either. She knew that she would be laughed at these days, she stayed in the house for several days before coming out.
With so many people in the courtyard, it"s no big deal to not get along with those people.
Zhou Qianqian went to do the laundry with a washbasin in her arms. She saw a woman in her forties bending over to wash clothes. Her eyes immediately lit up.
This is Zhang-sao, a person who normally likes to pa.s.s on gossip the most.
(嫂 [sǎo] = elder madam/ elder sister-in-law/ serviceman"s wife; wives of military personnel)
Zhou Qianqian put the basin next to her, said h.e.l.lo, and began to lead the topic to Lin Shiheng stealthily.
“What? He didn"t mention his wife for three years? No way… ”
Zhang-sao had a surprised expression. “Qianqian, have you not been out these days? In the past two days, some soldiers came to the courtyard to see Commander Lin"s wife. They said that Commander Lin always mentioned his wife to them, always boasting about her. When the person came, they could hardly wait to see her.”
Zhou Qianqian was taken by surprise when she heard the answer. She clearly remembered that not many people knew about Lin Shiheng"s wife.
“No one knew!”
Zhang-sao kindly explained: “Commander Lin loves his wife dearly. As long as he isn"t training, he won"t leave his wife"s side. Look, since his wife came, he accompanied her whenever he was free. A few days ago, he bought pots, bowls and pans, and so on. We also talked a bit, he said that when his wife would cook, he felt bad.”
“Commander Lin said; it"s because his wife was practicing writing recently and was still tired after making clothes for him. He said that he would not let his wife start cooking. Every day, he would wave a spatula to cook!”
Zhou Qianqian listened with a startled face. “How can that be possible? If he really loves his wife, he wouldn"t let her stay in his hometown for three years.”
“You, this child… you didn"t ask? When he was young, Commander Lin lost his father and was brought up by his mother alone. He was an only son. If he went to the army and took his wife with him, won"t his mother be alone at home? ”
“This time, they are making a new house in their hometown. Commander Lin"s wife came along with him because it"s inconvenient for her pregnancy. She has been taking care of her mother-in-law at home for three years, but it"s not like how you said it was. You can"t spread that around. It"s a good thing you said this to me, if it was someone else, people would say that you made these rumors on purpose.”
“Okay, I"m done. I"ll go first.”
Zhou Qianqian dazedly watched Zhang-sao leave.
How was it possible?
Didn"t Miao-jie say that Lin Shiheng never mentioned his wife to her at all? How come Zhang-sao say that a lot of people knew about it now?
No, no, Miao Xing won"t lie to her.
Lin Shiheng is just pretending to be good, and she wants to know how he could leave his newly married wife when he just got married.
She didn"t believe it. Everyone in the army said that Lin Shiheng was good.
Zhou Qianqian did not wash her clothes. While holding the washtub, she went back. After only a few steps, she saw a young man with a bitter face, quivering with each step. The dusty young man swayed weakly.
Curiously, she grabbed a woman who was sitting on a bench mending her insoles and asked, “Who is that? I"ve never seen him. ”
“Him? The brother of Commander Lin"s wife. ”
The woman bit off the string and casually replied, “It"s too bad. He was fined 50 laps on the field just now. After stopping, he added 10 laps. In addition to training these days, he just watched him run on the field. ”
Zhou Qianqian"s eyes lit up a little.
She thought that she had found evidence that Commander Lin hated his wife!
If you love someone, how can you treat her brother like this?
