Mrs. Fu didn’t hold back.
"You came to ’get the facts’ with a whole mob? Anyone who didn’t know better would think you were here on a crusade!"
"Let me make one thing clear. My daughter’s job was a direct transfer from Beijing City for work. We’re living here because my son-in-law is stationed here, which is perfect for a family reunion. So, is everything clear enough for you now?"
"If that’s still not clear enough for you, then I’ll be happy to go with you and hash it out with your superiors. After all, I’m just an uneducated country woman who isn’t very articulate. I’m sure you’ll understand things perfectly when the leadership explains it."
’Heh. Did they think I was born yesterday?’
’Every last one of them... they’re here on a witch hunt!’
Hearing this, Sister Wang immediately said, "Auntie, please don’t be angry. I really did just come to get the facts. Since we don’t need to arrange a job for your daughter, I’ll just register it on my end. I won’t disturb you any further. I’m so sorry, I’ll take my leave now."
She turned and glared at the others, asking through gritted teeth, "Aren’t you all leaving?"
The other military wives looked sheepish.
She was about to report them to the leadership; what was the point of staying?
One by one, they all scurried away.
However, one person remained.
Sister Wang frowned. "Xiao Zhu, you’re still here?"
Xiao Zhu, who was none other than Zhu Xiaohong, the one who had made the biggest fuss and was the most displeased.
Her face was dark, clearly not believing a word Mrs. Fu had said.
’What kind of job transfers from Beijing City to a backwater place like this?’
’A research institute, no less?’
’Heh, what a terrible liar. Qin Wenhao’s wife is only in her twenties. How could she possibly be a researcher?’
’Just how capable could she be?’
’She must have just gotten in through the back door.’
Seeing her defiant expression, Sister Wang felt a massive headache coming on.
She decided to take matters into her own hands and simply dragged her away.
