Forced to go to the countryside, the arrogant young lady got married and became a military wife

Chapter 117 Criticism Conference

Wu Jiaojiao covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face.

She never thought that Zhou Yang would hit her. She stood there for a moment, feeling wronged and angry.

"You hit me? You actually hit me?" Wu Jiaojiao's voice trembled with a hint of disbelief.

Zhou Yang also realized that his behavior just now was excessive, but he still suppressed his anger and said coldly: "It is natural for a man to hit a woman. I didn't hit you before, so you caused me so much trouble."

"Wu Jiaojiao, remember this, don't mess with Xu Huaian's family from now on, or I'll beat you to death."

"Also, I won't give you any more money in the future. Don't even think about supporting that blood-sucking family of your mother's family."

After hearing Zhou Yang's words, Wu Jiaojiao felt a mixture of anger and despair in her heart. She didn't expect that Zhou Yang not only beat her, but also said such heartless words.

When he married her, he said he would treat her well for the rest of his life. But in just a short time, everything has changed.

"Zhou Yang, how could you do this to me? Why do you interfere in my family's affairs?" Wu Jiaojiao cried.

Zhou Yang snorted coldly, "Just because the money belongs to me, look at you, you're always scheming, scheming against me and others. Those people from your mother's family are idle all day, just waiting for you to give them money. I'm telling you, from today on, no way!"

Wu Jiaojiao stood up, pointed at Zhou Yang's nose and said, "Zhou Yang, don't go too far. If you do this, I will go to the political commissar and sue you for hitting me. Let's see what you will do."

Zhou Yang's face turned ugly when he heard this. "You dare? If you dare to sue me, I will divorce you. Go back to your parents' home. I want to see if those snobs in your family will still cling to you and coax you without me backing you up."

Wu Jiaojiao was frightened by Zhou Yang's words. She knew that Zhou Yang was a man of his words.

Although she was very angry, she really didn't dare to go to the political commissar to complain.

She sat back in the chair, covering her face and sobbing.

Zhou Yang looked at Wu Jiaojiao and felt a little annoyed. He knew that what he said just now was a bit harsh, but he didn't want to bow his head now.

He sat there, silently thinking about how to solve the trouble at hand.

……

Even though the couple quarreled all day long, time still passed by second by second.

Soon the day of the conference arrived.

Everyone in the compound gathered together, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn. Everyone knew that there would be a self-criticism today, and their eyes would occasionally glance at Wu Jiaojiao and Aunt Tan.

Aunt Tan is fine, after all, she has lived a few decades longer and is much thicker-skinned.

Coupled with Old Man Tan's repeated earnest words and the pressure from his fists, she had to apologize properly even for the sake of her son Tan Xin's future.

Wu Jiaojiao was different. Her face was pale and her eyes were a little red and swollen. It was obvious that she had cried a lot in the past few days. The slap marks on her face were still faintly visible.

She lowered her head, holding a letter of apology tightly in her hand, her hands trembling slightly.

Political Commissar Wen stood on the stage and said solemnly, "Today, we need to address some issues that are affecting the atmosphere in the family compound. As everyone knows, our military region's family compound has always been united and harmonious. We will not tolerate those who spread rumors, stir up trouble, or undermine unity."

Aunt Tan was called to the stage first. She finished speaking according to what Tan Xin told her, stammering a little.

Then, it was Wu Jiaojiao's turn to go on stage. She almost dragged her feet onto the stage, and every step was full of struggle.

She stood on the stage, feeling like everyone's gaze was piercing her like needles.

She raised her head and saw Shi Qingqian looking at her calmly in the audience. That look made her even more embarrassed.

Wu Jiaojiao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but the letter of apology in her hand was still shaking. She slowly unfolded the letter of apology and began to read it with a hint of tears in her voice.

After Wu Jiaojiao finished reading her apology, she bowed deeply to Shi Qingqian in the audience, but hatred could not be hidden in her eyes.

If Shi Qingqian hadn't been so petty, how could he have fallen to the point of having to make embarrassing self-criticism in front of so many people?

Especially in front of those rural people whom she despised the most. They didn't know how to laugh at her in the future.

After walking off the stage, Wu Jiaojiao saw Zhou Yang waiting for her in the corner.

Zhou Yang walked forward and whispered, "Not bad today."

Wu Jiaojiao glanced at him coldly without saying anything. She was still brooding over Zhou Yang's beatings and cruel words.

……

Shi Qingqian didn't know what Wu Jiaojiao was thinking, nor did she want to know.

As soon as the conference ended, she went home and continued her persimmon cake business.

Take out the peeled persimmons and carefully string them one by one with cotton thread.

After Shi Qingqian strung the persimmons one by one, she carried the bunch of persimmons to the sunniest spot in the yard.

A small nail was nailed on the wall and cotton thread was hung on it so that the persimmons could be fully dried.

Shi Qingqian looked at the bunches of persimmons drying in the sun, her heart full of anticipation, as if she had already seen the sweet and delicious persimmon cakes.

She clapped her hands, turned around and went back to the house to get her lunch box.

……

As for Wu Jiaojiao, since the end of the conference, she has been like an angry hedgehog, shutting herself off from the world.

She felt that everyone was laughing at her, and her hatred for Shi Qingqian grew deeper and deeper.

"Shi Qingqian, you've embarrassed me so much, I'm going to make you pay the price." She said gritting her teeth.

Bai Youyou was a little worried when she saw Wu Jiaojiao's condition. She comforted her, "Cousin, it's over. Let's not dwell on it anymore. It's not a solution for you to sulk like this."

Wu Jiaojiao said angrily, "What do you know? I can't just let it go like this."

While Bai Youyou wasn't looking, Wu Jiaojiao glared at her fiercely. She was also a waste.

If she hadn't been able to seduce Xu Huaian, Shi Qingqian wouldn't be living such a good life now.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Bai Youyou suddenly looked up and was shocked to see the resentment in Wu Jiaojiao's eyes that she had not had time to hide.

After being discovered by Bai Youyou, Wu Jiaojiao turned her head away awkwardly and said in a rough voice, "Youyou, do you still want to marry Captain Xu?"

Bai Youyou was stunned for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashed across her face, and she whispered, "Cousin, he's already married. There's no point in thinking about this now. Military marriages are not allowed to be disrupted. This is a disciplinary issue, and I can't possibly commit it."

Wu Jiaojiao snorted disdainfully, "When did you become so obedient? Didn't you also want to marry Xu Huaian before? Now you give up so easily, are you really willing to let that bitch get away with it?"

Bai Youyou's eyes widened, and she said in horror, "Cousin, what are you talking about? I wanted to marry Captain Xu before, but that was when he wasn't married."

Wu Jiaojiao glared at her with disappointment, saying she was such a useless thing.

"Then if Shi Qingqian made a mistake, and Xu Huaian divorced her, wouldn't you be able to take over?"
