Chapter 149: Madam Fu Is Very Angry

Madam Fu didn’t bother to save face for them.

“You came to ‘understand the situation’ and brought such a big group with you? Anyone who doesn’t know better would think you’re here to start a crusade!”

“Anyway, let me make this clear: my daughter’s job was transferred directly from Beijing because of work needs. We’re living here because my son-in-law is stationed here, so our family can be together. So, have you figured everything out now?”

“If you still don’t get it, I can go with you to talk to the leaders. After all, I’m just an uneducated rural woman and not good with words, but I’m sure the leaders can explain it in a way you’ll understand.”

Hah, did they think all the years she’s lived were for nothing?

One by one, they really came here to interrogate her!

Sister Wang immediately said, “Auntie, don’t be angry. I really just came to understand the situation. Since your family doesn’t need us to arrange work, I’ll just make a note of it and won’t bother you anymore. I’m really sorry, I’ll be going now.”

She turned around and glared at the others, gritting her teeth. “Aren’t you all leaving?”

The military wives looked embarrassed.

If she was about to go report to the leaders, what were they still hanging around for?

They all scattered and left in a hurry.

But one person remained.

Sister Wang frowned. “Xiao Zhu, aren’t you leaving?”

Xiao Zhu was, of course, Zhu Xiaohong—the one who’d made the biggest fuss and was the most upset.

Her face was dark, clearly not believing a word Madam Fu had said.

What kind of job gets transferred from Beijing to this backwater place?

A research institute, really?

Ha! At least make your lies believable—how could Qin Wenhuo’s wife, who’s only in her twenties, be a researcher?

How capable could she possibly be?

Isn’t it just a case of pulling strings?

Seeing Zhu Xiaohong’s unconvinced expression, Sister Wang felt a headache coming on.

She simply grabbed her and dragged her away.

Zhu Xiaohong was very unhappy, but there was nothing she could do.

After everyone left, Madam Fu couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

What kind of people were these? What did her daughter’s self-earned job have to do with them?

Just as she was about to turn and close the gate, she caught sight of the nosy old woman next door peeking around.

Her anger flared up again.

She marched right over. “Was it you who spread rumors about my daughter’s job?”

When Mrs. Hao saw her coming, she instinctively tried to close her door.

But then she thought that would make her look guilty.

That moment’s hesitation was enough—Madam Fu was already at her doorstep.

“What nonsense are you talking about? What does your daughter’s job have to do with me? I don’t have time to gossip about her. And stop dragging me into everything.”

With that, she decisively slammed her door shut.

Madam Fu: …?

She wanted to bang on the door, but after thinking it over, she decided to let it go—for now. But she’d better not catch any evidence.

Meanwhile, Instructor Xie soon heard about the incident with the family members causing trouble at Qin Wenhuo’s place.

Just then, Sister Wang came by.

“You’re just in time. I heard you took a group of people to give Qin Wenhuo’s wife a hard time?”

Sister Wang’s face stiffened. She hadn’t expected the news to spread so fast.

Instructor Xie saw her expression and was sure of it.

“You really did it?”

Sister Wang quickly shook her head. “I wasn’t causing trouble, I just went to verify—”

Instructor Xie’s face darkened. “What’s there for you to verify about someone else’s job? Did Qin Wenhuo’s wife ever ask you for help getting a job? Don’t you know the answer to that yourself? Why did you still go to ‘verify’?”

“And you brought a whole group with you? What was that for, an interrogation?”"
