Opening his eyes, he was in the 60th Military Region, mistook the person for someone else, and was k

Chapter 361 Do you think we should fight or not?

"Tell me, everyone, should this kind of woman be beaten?" Old Mrs. Qin raised her voice, scanning everyone present and taking in their expressions.

Finally, his gaze fell on Li Xia, giving her a fierce glare, as if he was furious.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling aggrieved? Have you forgotten how I warned you back then?"

"Since you didn't listen to me, I don't need to save face for you."

After saying that, she raised her voice and shouted, pointing at Li Xia's nose and cursing.

"Look, look! This is the woman who's after other people's husbands and is stirring up trouble between them. She's almost gotten them divorced. As a teacher, she's even bullying children."

"You all come and tell me, should this kind of woman be hit?"

Immediately, the crowd began to discuss the matter, and the way they looked at Li Xia changed. They subtly distanced themselves from her.

Even Yang Yun, who was supporting Li Xia, changed her attitude.

Qin Yunzhou's eyes suddenly darkened. He stared at the pale-faced Li Xia and said coldly:

"Teacher Li, are these things true?"

Now he had no idea what to think. Old Mrs. Qin would never hit someone for no reason, much less attack someone outside.

However, he did not expect that this matter was also related to Gu Shu and his wife.

Li Xia's tears kept falling, and she cried so hard that she was covered in snot and tears, portraying herself as a pitiful widow who had been framed.

"No, no, I didn't. This old woman is talking nonsense. She's slandering me."

"I have no grudge against Commander Gu, so why would I try to sow discord between his wife and son?"

"They'll say I'm eyeing other men, which is completely baseless. I've been a widow for so many years; if I wanted to remarry, I would have done so long ago. It's not like no one has introduced me to men all these years."

"Saying that I bullied a child is utter nonsense. It was just a misunderstanding. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, it's nothing."

Some of the other onlookers were also unsure which side to take, and the discussions grew louder and louder.

"Yes, Teacher Li is not short of partners. If she wants to find someone, there are plenty of men willing to take her. Why would she be interested in someone who is already taken?"

Some people whispered a rebuttal, "Not necessarily. There aren't many people in this unit as capable as Political Commissar Qin. Although he's married with a child, who wouldn't want to marry him if given the chance?"

Grandma Qin didn't even glance at Li Xia. She looked directly at Qin Yunzhou, then moved a chair over and sat down. She even massaged her lower back and thighs, showing no fear whatsoever, but rather appearing quite relaxed.

She's getting old and can't stand for long periods; her body can't take it.

"Yunzhou, here's the situation. You decide what to do."

"I did hit Li Xia. I'll accept whatever punishment you give me. But Li Xia isn't a good person either. She's tarnished the reputation of the martyr's widow. We can't let this kind of woman get away with it easily."

"She should also be punished. I don't agree with only punishing me."

Qin Yunzhou didn't speak, but looked at Li Xia with a cold voice.

"I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. If you did indeed sow discord between other couples, then there are serious issues with your personal conduct."

"Then you are not suitable to continue being a teacher at the school, nor are you suitable to continue staying in the army. I will arrange for someone to send you and your children away."

Logically speaking, since her husband died, she and her child should have returned to their hometown.

It was out of consideration for Li Xia's husband who sacrificed his life, and also because their hometown couldn't accommodate the mother and her two children, that he used many connections to arrange for them to continue living in the army, and even found Li Xia a job.

Looking back now, it really was a mistake.

Upon hearing this, Li Xia panicked completely, her face changed drastically, and she froze.

"No, no, no, I made a mistake, Political Commissar Qin, Political Commissar Qin, please, please don't do this, no one can bully me, it's all my fault."

"We, a widow and her orphan, will die if we go back to our hometown. Please let us stay in the army. Please help us for the sake of my husband who died young."

"My man used to work under you. You took him on missions and didn't bring him back safely. You also promised him that you would take good care of us, my child and me. You can't just abandon us..."

This kind of thing can't be investigated by the military. Her method of buying those drugs wasn't very sophisticated, and a little investigation would reveal it.

He was brought here only as a gamble that Qin Yunzhou would stand by her side without hesitation, considering the man she had sacrificed.

However, things didn't turn out quite as she had imagined.

Qin Yunzhou remained calm and said indifferently, "I have already helped you, and helped you quite a bit."

"The military has given you a pension before, and you will also receive some subsidies this month. This amount of money is enough for you and your two children to live on."

"There is no turning back on this matter. Once I find out that you have a problematic conduct, I will not hesitate to send you and your two children away."

"Alright, go back and pack your bags."

Upon hearing this, Li Xia seemed to have all her strength drained away, collapsing to the ground. She instinctively grabbed Yang Yun beside her, as if grasping at a lifeline.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please help me! Please speak to Political Commissar Qin on my behalf. I don't want to go back to my hometown. We'll die there. Please ask her to forgive me this time."

"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."

Seeing Li Xia like this, the others around her probably guessed the truth and couldn't help but feel more contempt for her.

Yang Yun sighed, helped Li Xia up from the ground, and spoke in an extremely cold tone.

"Alright, alright, get up first. We'll talk about it after Political Commissar Qin has investigated and clarified the matter."

"We will never wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a guilty person go free."

"If you did make a mistake, you should take responsibility for it."

"Don't bother pleading anymore, it's no use pleading with anyone."

Upon hearing this, Li Xia's vision went black, and she fainted.

Seeing this, Grandma Qin couldn't help but feel happy and took another sip of water.

This water has brown sugar in it, it's so sweet. Brown sugar was a precious commodity back then, something most families couldn't afford.

She also benefited from the kindness of Sui Sui and Yun Zhou, who had just returned from a business trip to the provincial capital and bought some goods, which they then shared with them.

Xu Sui, who was taking a bath inside, heard the noise outside gradually subside.

We knew then that the matter had been resolved.

She doesn't need to go out and do anything else.
