Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 445 He needs to think of a way

The scene was completely out of control.

Xiao Zhu grabbed Shu Xiaowen's hair, leaving Shu Xiaowen with no chance to fight back. Shu Xiaowen could only cover her head as Xiao Zhu dragged her around, making her scream in pain.

Political Commissar Chen, Regiment Commander Fang, and Deputy Regiment Commander Lu circled around the two men, anxious but unsure what to do.

Xiaozhu's voice exploded like firecrackers in the otherwise tranquil island twilight, "Did I tell you? Do you think I'm just sitting outside Gu Shi's house every day watching your man? Am I cheap or just bored? Didn't you cry to me every day, saying that Gu Shi's wife next door was seducing your Fang Tuan? And that you saw them hugging and kissing each other early in the morning? Now it's my story?"

"Grandma! Can you let go first?" Deputy Regiment Commander Lu was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet. The main problem was that Xiaozhu and Shu Xiaowen were hugging each other tightly. If he wanted to pull his own Xiaozhu away, Shu Xiaowen's hair would hurt more and more. If he wanted to hold her, he was afraid of accidentally touching Shu Xiaowen.

The situation faced by the group was the same.

This is really a headache!

"I won't let go!" Xiaozhu was furious. "If I let go, you'll pin the blame on me, right? I, Zeng Xiaozhu, swear here and now, whoever wrote the whistleblower letter, their whole family..."

"Xiaozhu!" Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, fearing she might say something like "her whole family will die," quickly stopped her. At the same time, finding an opening, he pounced on her and hugged her tightly around the waist, then cried out, his face flushed, "Regiment Commander Fang, hurry..."

The two men each restrained their wives. Xiao Zhu was unable to move, but she still held onto Shu Xiaowen's hair, refusing to let go no matter what.

"Speak! In front of so many people today, you better explain yourself! Did I write the whistleblower letter? Did I write it?" Xiaozhu grabbed her hair and wouldn't let go, questioning her repeatedly.

Shu Xiaowen was in excruciating pain. Her hair was in someone's hand, and the more she struggled, the more it hurt. She felt like Zeng Xiaozhu was tearing her scalp off. Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer and whimpered, begging for mercy, "It wasn't you, it wasn't you lying, it wasn't you who reported me! It wasn't you..."

"Say it louder! Let everyone hear it!" Xiaozhu's subordinate squeezed even harder.

"You're not making this up! You didn't report me! It was me! I did it all myself! Let me go! Please let me go!"

Shu Xiaowen's screams echoed across the island, and everyone could hear them clearly.

At this point, Xiaozhu let go.

"Did you hear that? She made up everything herself! She played the victim in front of me, and I only told you guys outside because I felt sorry for her!" Xiaozhu said angrily. "It's also my own fault for being stupid! I was used by her!"

After saying that, Xiaozhu broke free from Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, who had been holding her, and shouted, "Let go! I want to go home!"

As soon as Xiaozhu left, Deputy Regiment Commander Lu followed after her. Regiment Commander Fang grabbed Shu Xiaowen, whose hair was a mess like a bird's nest. Shu Xiaowen covered her face and ran into her own yard, too ashamed to come out again.

Fang Tuan looked gloomy and followed them back.

Political Commissar Chen had never seen such a scene before, and felt awkward the whole time.

Everyone suddenly realized that it was all a rumor fabricated by Shu Xiaowen herself. But why would she do that? Why would she report her own husband? What was she thinking? Was this some kind of meritorious deed?

Everyone was puzzled and, seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, they dispersed.

Lin Qingping watched the whole thing clearly from under her own porch.

She guessed that Shu Xiaowen was spreading rumors behind her back, but even now she didn't expect that the letter of complaint was written by Shu Xiaowen herself.

What's the point?

And why?

As she watched the crowd disperse and Fang Tuan walk forlornly into the next door, she felt a strange, indescribable feeling.

Gu Juncheng embraced her and led her into the house.

“It’s windy outside this evening, let’s come inside,” he said calmly, as if he knew everything.

He helped her sit down on the sofa, and she looked at him blankly. "Why do I feel like Fang Tuan had no choice but to do this in public today?"

"Would you like some fruit? You don't seem to have vomited much today?" He was avoiding the question.

"Gu Juncheng!" The voice calling him carried a hint of pressure.

He then sat down in front of her. "Otherwise what? His own wife caused this mess, shouldn't he handle it himself? He was the one who brought it up to give you and us an explanation in front of all the families on the island."

Lin Qingping frowned, "He mentioned retiring from the military..."

"That's not true, we won't back down." Gu Juncheng casually picked up a banana, peeled it, and handed it to her. "Where did the rumor come from, and who wrote the whistleblower letter? It's something that can be easily found out. I just didn't expect that the affairs of Political Commissar Chen's sister-in-law and Deputy Regiment Commander Lu's family would escalate the situation."

Lin Qingping smelled the banana and felt nauseous again, so she quickly waved her hand to indicate that she didn't want it.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Yes, who were they? Shu Xiaowen's tricks were no match for them at all. Why bother...?

"If you have any complaints about me, why not just tell me openly and honestly? If you don't like me, you can curse me through the wall. Why do this? Isn't this harming Fang Tuan?" Lin Qingping, like everyone else, couldn't understand this behavior. Some people are really ruthless enough to harm even their own husbands.

No normal person would do something like this, right? If she really had something going on with Fang Tuan, then she would admire Shu Xiaowen a bit for teaching the man a lesson as well. But she and Fang Tuan clearly have nothing going on, so why is she in such a hurry to accuse her husband?

Gu Juncheng didn't understand either, so he just took the banana back and wondered what else he could give her to eat.

How could Lin Qingping possibly eat anything else? The only things she could eat without vomiting now were sesame oil fried chicken and lotus root starch.

She had no appetite at all and just sighed, "Gu Juncheng, what I'm worried about is that Shu Xiaowen is Fang Tuan's wife after all. They are family. No matter how wrong Shu Xiaowen is, after what happened today, she will lose face, and Fang Tuan will lose face even more. I'm afraid that you will develop a grudge against him. You are comrades-in-arms."

That's why she wanted to settle things herself and not let him get involved.

"You're overthinking it. It's not that serious. This is a matter between us men, so stop worrying. Just focus on taking care of your health and concentrate on figuring out what you want to eat from now on." Gu Juncheng was genuinely worried. If he keeps vomiting everything he eats, how can his body take it? It's too much suffering. How can a person live without eating?

He needs to think of a solution.

Lin Qingping had no idea that he was preparing a powerful solution so that she could eat and to solve her problem of vomiting after eating. This powerful solution caught her completely off guard and left her flustered.

Meanwhile, at the Fang family next door, Fang Tuan was also seeking an answer to the question that no one could understand: Why did you do this?
