Chapter 115: She is the best at putting blame on others
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Shi Qingqian woke up early today because she was still thinking about making persimmon cakes.
After breakfast, they sat in the yard with a bamboo basket full of persimmons next to them. Shi Qingqian was peeling persimmons with great concentration.
Under the knife in her hand, the persimmon skin peeled off circle by circle, revealing the orange-yellow flesh inside.
Just when I had cut half of the yard, there was a knock on the door.
Shi Qingqian raised her head and called out, "Who is it?"
Wu Jiaojiao's voice came from outside the door: "Sister-in-law Shi, it's me, Wu Jiaojiao."
Shi Qingqian frowned, feeling a little confused, but still put down the persimmon and knife in her hand, wiped her hands and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Shi Qingqian saw Wu Jiaojiao standing at the door, holding a small bag in her hand, her eyes a little evasive, and Bai Youyou beside her.
"What are you doing here?" Shi Qingqian's tone was not polite.
"What are you talking about? We are guests after all. It's really rude of you to treat us like this when we come to your house."
"Hey, you still know how to be polite," Shi Qingqian sneered, "Then coming uninvited is polite? Or is spreading rumors to ruin someone's reputation polite?"
Wu Jiaojiao hurriedly pulled Bai Youyou, she did not forget the purpose of her visit today.
She put on a flattering smile and said to Shi Qingqian, "Sister-in-law, we came here today specifically to apologize to you. What we did before was really wrong. We have been feeling very guilty these past few days."
As she spoke, she handed the thing in her hand to Shi Qingqian, "Sister-in-law, this is a little gift from us, you must accept it."
Shi Qingqian glanced at the package and made no move to take it. She simply said coldly, "If you have the time to send me something, why don't you reflect on your mistakes? I don't need your hypocritical things."
Bai Youyou couldn't help but murmur quietly, "It's just a few idle words, why are you taking it so seriously?"
Shi Qingqian's eyes suddenly became sharp. "Comrade Bai, please put yourself in your place. If you still have this attitude, please leave my house immediately. I don't say some things because I consider you a lesbian, not because I don't know."
Bai Youyou was frightened by her aura and shut her mouth in indignation.
Wu Jiaojiao hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Youyou came here with me, and she didn't mean that."
"I sincerely know I was wrong. Look, the political commissar has already reprimanded us. That's a big enough lesson. We just want to ask you to be magnanimous and not argue with us."
"Besides, our Lao Zhou and Captain Xu are superiors and subordinates. We must not let this matter damage their relationship, okay?"
Shi Qingqian looked at them with a half-smile: "So, what is the purpose of your coming here today?"
Wu Jiaojiao prided herself on being a city dweller and always felt a sense of superiority. She had never spoken so politely to these country people.
But now, for the sake of her own and Zhou Yang's face, she had to bow her head.
She said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, we're here to ask you to put in a good word with the political commissar and see if you can spare me from having to go on stage to review my mistakes. Going on stage won't benefit either of our families."
"Let's just let this matter go. From now on, our two families will be as close as one family. Why should we bother with so many things, right?"
Shi Qingqian was almost amused by her shameless remarks, "As close as family? Comrade Wu, are you sure?"
Wu Jiaojiao was not a stupid person, so of course she could hear the sarcasm in Shi Qingqian's words, but now she could only pretend that she didn't hear it.
"Sister-in-law, please forgive my mistakes. I know it's my fault. Please let me go this time," Wu Jiaojiao suddenly raised her voice.
The three of them were already standing at the door, and the family members coming and going couldn't help but slow down when they saw this scene.
Her voice caused many people to stop and stare at them blankly.
Shi Qingqian's face turned a little ugly. She didn't expect Wu Jiaojiao to suddenly do this.
What was even more unexpected was that the next second Wu Jiaojiao actually pretended to kneel down in front of her.
"What's going on? Why are you kneeling? This is not the way to do things nowadays."
"It looks like Deputy Captain Zhou's family has come to apologize to Captain Xu's family. Didn't you see they're holding something?"
"Oh, malted milk, that's good stuff."
"Why did Captain Xu's family make people kneel down? We're all from the same compound, so we'll see each other every day. There's no need to do this."
Shi Qingqian heard the discussions of people around her.
This should be the effect that Wu Jiaojiao wanted to achieve by bringing Bai Youyou here today.
She puts herself in the position of the weak to arouse everyone's sympathy, but forgets that she is the culprit.
Wu Jiaojiao knelt on the ground, crying and saying, "Sister-in-law, I really know I was wrong. If you don't forgive me, I will kneel here forever."
Bai Youyou looked at her with anger on her face, as if she had done something unforgivable.
Shi Qingqian took a step back, distanced herself from the two of them, and imitated Wu Jiaojiao's tone, raising her voice and saying, "Hey, Comrade Wu, what are you doing?"
"It's a new era now, why are you still kneeling? If people see you like this, they'll think Deputy Commander Zhou is a feudal remnant. Comrade Wu kneels down at every turn every day when he's at home."
"Also, you're asking me to bribe the political commissar to intercede for you. I absolutely cannot do that, let alone do it."
"Not to mention that our soldiers all have iron wills, let's just say the political commissar is fair and selfless. He won't change his decision just because I say a few good words for him. You're trying to harm me, aren't you?"
Shi Qingqian paused, glanced at the crowd of onlookers, and continued, "We all live in this compound, and we should respect and help each other, but I really can't help you with this matter. Comrade Wu, please don't embarrass me. Get up quickly."
It's just a big hat.
She is the best!
As soon as Shi Qingqian said this, everyone around her couldn't help but gasp.
Wu Jiaojiao's face turned even paler. She didn't expect Shi Qingqian to say that.
Once the two major charges of feudal remnants and bribing military officers spread, they would not be resolved by simply reviewing them at a meeting.
Even if the investigation ultimately reveals that the news is false, it will still have an impact on her and Zhou Yang's reputation.
"Comrade Wu, why don't you get up? Do you have to wait for Deputy Commander Zhou's approval before you dare to get up?"
