Chapter 187 Blatant Favoritism
Chapter 187 Blatant Favoritism
"How am I being rude? Did you all take bribes from her to speak on her behalf?"
"That little bitch Qiao An, and her man are no good either! They use public funds, eat public food, and still covet public funds."
"You have bicycles and sewing machines at home, and you even made so much meat today. Where did all the money come from?"
"It must have been your man who embezzled it! And that car by the door, who do you think you are? You think you're worthy of driving a car?"
Xia Xiaoyun's face turned pale upon hearing this. "Mom, what are you saying? Come home, come back with me."
After saying that, she went up to pull Guo Caifeng.
Unfortunately, Guo Caifeng was in a fit of anger and wouldn't listen to her at all, even shoving her aside.
"Get lost! Who gave you the right to speak?"
Joanne took a deep breath.
Did Guo Caifeng think that because she was young and pregnant, she was like her daughter-in-law, with a soft and easy-going personality?
"Qiao An, if the Political Department doesn't care, plenty of others will. Tomorrow I'll go to the garrison and keep watch. When I see Commander Wu, I'll skin you two alive in front of him!"
Joanne sneered, "I'll skin you alive right now!"
"You little slut, today I'm going to show you what I'm capable of!"
Guo Caifeng rolled up her sleeves, raised her arm, and tried to grab Qiao An's hair.
Before she could even touch Qiao An, a loud slap landed on her face.
Guo Caifeng was slapped so hard her ears were ringing.
Qiao An grabbed her by the collar and, with only a fraction of his strength, threw Guo Caifeng to the ground.
Ignoring the astonished looks around her, she swung her hand and punched Guo Caifeng twice.
Guo Caifeng has lived to such an old age, and she has a fiery temper; she's always the one beating others up.
When had she ever suffered such a great injustice? She reached out and tried to slap Qiao An's face.
Unexpectedly, Qiao An pinned him to the ground, rendering him unable to move.
In a fit of rage, Guo Caifeng actually tried to kick Qiao An in the stomach.
However, as soon as she lifted her leg, Qiao An punched her in the tendon, making her yell in pain.
Qiao An then attacked with both hands, leaving Guo Caifeng with a bruised and swollen face.
"Murder! Help! Help!"
Guo Caifeng felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Qiao An has a strong grip; she can grab both of her wrists with one hand, and when she hits someone, she always targets the most painful spots.
I can't take it anymore, I really can't stand it!
Hearing the noise, Li Shaoyun ran out of his house and shouted as soon as he saw the scene.
"Quick! Talk to Joan, if they keep fighting, someone will die!"
"Baohua, go to the guard post at the gate and call them back! And my husband, Lao Qi too."
"Okay, sister-in-law!"
After saying that, Li Shaoyun led Yue Guyu to Qiao An, one on each side.
"Qiao An, stop hitting her! She's so old. If she gets seriously injured, you and Huo Jiyun won't be able to explain it to her."
Hearing the crisp sound of the slap, Li Shaoyun secretly cheered. This old woman was always gossiping behind people's backs and stirring up trouble.
She was the worst person in the entire compound.
On the other side, Xia Xiaoyun only talked and urged, but didn't take a single step forward.
Before Guo Caifeng came, she and Zeng Fushun were living a good life together.
She said she came to take care of herself and her child, but in the past two months, she hasn't enjoyed any happiness and has suffered a lot of grievances.
Unfortunately, Zeng Fushun was a filial son and always tried to smooth things over.
Seeing Qiao An beat up Guo Caifeng today, I can't describe how happy she felt.
Qiao An glanced at the disheveled Guo Caifeng.
Her hair was disheveled, her face was swollen, and she was crying out, "Ouch, ouch," almost crying from the beating.
"For Shao Yun's sake, I'll let it slide today!"
With Le Guyu's help, Qiao An stood up and casually swung her arm.
"You filthy bitch, are you trying to kill me?! You all bully me! You bully this old country woman!"
"When my son comes, I'll have him kill all of you bastards!"
Guo Caifeng was furious and forgot that Li Shaoyun's husband held a higher official position than Zeng Fushun.
"You old bastard, shut up! Believe me, I'll beat you to death before your son even arrives!"
Joan threw a vicious punch at her.
Guo Caifeng instinctively shrank back and became dejected.
At the regimental headquarters, Huo Jiyun received a call and rushed to the compound without even putting on his hat.
They also ran into Zeng Fushun and Qi Yunsheng on the way.
When they rushed back, they saw Guo Caifeng sitting on the ground.
Joan was surrounded by a group of people.
Upon seeing Zeng Fushun, Guo Caifeng opened her mouth wide, threw her hands to the ground, and began to wail and cry.
"Aaaaaah! I can't live anymore! I can't live anymore!!"
"I've dedicated myself to the public good, and at my age I've been beaten up. God, please be my judge!"
"Son! Son! They're bullying me! They're ganging up on me!"
When Zeng Fushun saw his mother, who was disheveled and covered in bruises, his eyes immediately turned fierce.
"Who? Who did this? Step forward!"
Qiao An pushed Li Shaoyun's hand away and walked out of the crowd.
"I did the hitting, so what?"
Zeng Fushun was stunned for a few seconds.
"Son! It's her, that little bitch! That slut! I couldn't stand her driving a government car and embezzling government funds. I reported her for the sake of you soldiers!"
"Who would have thought that those bastards in the political department were all bought off by that couple! They're all reactionaries! They should all be shot!"
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zeng Fushun's face changed drastically, and he covered Guo Caifeng's mouth.
Commander Qi Yunsheng was right there. What did he think when he heard this?
Zeng Fushun suddenly realized that this was what Director Xu had been talking about.
His mother actually reported Huo Jiyun and Qiao An.
What does this have to do with anything?
Huo Jiyun's only violation of discipline was that he disregarded his injuries and sneaked back to the front line, almost sacrificing his life in the process.
He didn't believe the rumors that Huo Jiyun had embezzled funds.
"How could I be lying? That little green Jeep is still parked in front of their house. What kind of status does she have? How could she drive a car?"
"And their family too! I went to the side room today, and there were two brand-new bicycles, several bags of rice and flour, and cured meat hanging from the beams!"
"If they didn't steal from the cafeteria, where would they get so much food?"
Guo Caifeng pointed at Li Shaoyun and the others, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Qiao An treated us to dinner today, you all saw it, the food was even better than what the leaders ate!"
Huo Jiyun's face turned as cold as ice when he saw this.
His eyes were unpredictable, and he exuded a sense of oppression.
That's the kind of murderous aura that only those who have fought on the battlefield year after year possess.
Li Shaoyun and Wang Baohua exchanged a glance and quickly blocked Qiao An, afraid that Huo Jiyun might do something impulsive and hurt her.
Unexpectedly, Qiao An pushed past the two of them and walked in front of Huo Jiyun.
"Husband...she hit me first."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw Huo Jiyun lift her small hand and carefully examine the items.
"Are you injured? Does your stomach hurt?"
Joanne shook her head.
Huo Jiyun gently blew on it twice, "Your palms are all red from slapping."
"I'll find you a good stick later, one that won't hurt your hands, but will still hurt when you hit someone."
Others: "..."
Look at what I'm saying, isn't it right?
Qi Yunsheng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; Huo Jiyun was far too blatant.
