Chapter 144 The author creates a good reputation for domestic violence.
Tian Xiufen: "You brat, you're getting cocky if you don't get a beating for three days. You're asking for trouble, aren't you? You even took the spatula and started banging it around. Do you want to starve?"
Tian Xiufen was wondering where her spatula had gone. She clearly saw it when she was cooking breakfast in the morning, but it seemed to have grown legs and was running around by itself by the afternoon.
Tian Xiufen searched the kitchen but couldn't find it. Since the house was in a mess, she took the opportunity to tidy it up. As she was squatting in the corner of the yard wall organizing things, she heard the sound of the yard gate being opened.
You could tell from the sound that the person was moving very quietly. However, the wooden door of her house had been there for a long time, and it would creak every time it was opened or closed. Tian Xiufen turned around and saw Gou Dan. Before she could speak, she saw him sneakily peek out from behind the door, look around at the group, and open his big eyes, but he still didn't notice his mother squatting in the corner.
Seeing his suspicious behavior, Tian Xiufen kept her mouth shut, ready to see what kind of despicable thing the brat had done this time.
Seeing that no one was around, Gou Dan darted in like a little monkey. Tian Xiufen saw what he was hiding behind his back: her spatula! It was covered in mud!
Tian Xiufen rolled her eyes in anger. Seeing her unfilial son casually rinse the food with water and prepare to put it back in the kitchen, she immediately stood up and shouted angrily, "Gao Jianguo, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
She rushed over and snatched the spatula from Gou Dan's hand. The spatula was still covered in mud, with some mud splattered on it, and the handle was even bent. You could imagine how violently it had been damaged! "You can't live without getting angry with me, can you? I owe you something, and you're always causing me trouble."
As Tian Xiufen yelled, Shu Yun heard Gou Dan's howl. Nowadays, most spatulas are made of iron or wood. Shu Yun remembered that the Tian family used an iron one, which was very valuable. Gou Dan had just ruined it and used it as a small shovel for digging soil.
Shu Yun patted her round belly and whispered to the baby, "You can't be like Brother Gou Dan in the future, okay? Otherwise, Daddy will hit you."
Gu Jun: ...
Shu Yun was enjoying listening to other people's gossip, but little did she know that a few days later, others would be watching her make a fool of herself.
As Shu Yun's pregnancy progressed, Gu Jun was worried about her commuting to and from get off work alone, so he drove her to work every morning and escorted her home in the afternoon.
Gu Jun handed the bag to Shu Yun and instructed her, "I put some biscuits in the bag for you. Eat them when you're hungry, but don't eat too many."
Shu Yun: "I know." Recently, Gu Jun has been dragging Shu Yun out of bed to exercise every day, which has made her find Gu Jun's handsome face increasingly unpleasant to look at.
After watching her leave, Gu Jun turned and went to the military base.
Kang Xianqin and Shu Yun came in one after the other. When she saw Shu Yun, she couldn't help but tease her, "Your Commander Gu has been picking you up and dropping you off at get off work every day lately. He's so thoughtful!"
Shu Yun took a sip of warm water. "After all, I'm quite far along in my pregnancy now, and he's worried about me going to and from get off work alone."
Kang Xianqin: "Yes, your belly is really big. Could you be carrying twins? It looks a bit scary to me."
Before Shu Yun could speak, Huang Ju called her out from outside.
Shu Yun: "Director Huang, what did you call me for?"
Director Huang glanced at Shu Yun's expression and said, "Let's talk in my office."
Is it that mysterious? But when Shu Yun followed Huang Ju into the office, she found another woman sitting in a chair. Shu Yun recognized her; wasn't she Zhang Zhanhong, the women's director?
Originally, there was no women's director in the military, but due to the recent incidents in the family compound and the increase in the number of military spouses, the military specially set up a women's federation to coordinate matters among military spouses.
Shu Yun, puzzled, greeted him, "Director Zhang, you wanted to see me?"
Zhang Zhanhong smiled at Shu Yun, "Please sit down first, don't be nervous. I just want to ask you about the situation."
Huang Ju picked up the teacup and notebook from her desk and was about to leave when she said, "I have to go to a meeting. You can sit here, no need to rush."
Shu Yun watched Huang Ju leave, and before leaving, she gave her an encouraging look, leaving Shu Yun completely bewildered.
Are they trying to recruit her from her past work in women's affairs? But she doesn't have much of an eloquence, nor has she demonstrated any strong coordination skills. That shouldn't be the case.
Before long, Zhang Zhanhong tentatively spoke up: "Comrade Shu Yun, don't be nervous. Let's just chat casually. You came here with the army last March, right? It's been almost a year. How are you feeling?"
Shu Yun: "I think it's great?"
Zhang Zhanhong: "Comrade Shuyun, don't be afraid. Just tell the truth. It's just you and me here. I won't spread anything you say here. We are doing women's work, and the purpose of our work is to help our suffering female compatriots."
Shu Yun was completely confused when she heard this. Was she being described as suffering and hardship? But she had recently been asked to lose weight because of overnutrition. Which of these four words had anything to do with her?
Then Zhang Zhanhong continued sincerely, "Just speak up, whether it's about work or your love life, we'll help you."
Shu Yun: ...
Why did she emphasize the words "emotional life"?
After Zhang Zhanhong finished speaking, she looked at Shu Yun expectantly, her eyes filled with encouragement. Shu Yun pursed her lips and said, "Uh, this."
Zhang Zhanhong: "Speak boldly."
Shu Yun said helplessly, "I have nothing to say. I'm doing fine, there are no problems."
Zhang Zhanhong looked at him with exasperation, "Why are you so concerned about saving face? I've heard from several military wives that you're shouting late at night. Are you being abused? This behavior is wrong. You should stand up and protect women's rights."
Shu Yun was even more confused. "Domestic violence? No, right?" She was the one who abused Gu Jun, wasn't she?
After becoming pregnant, Shu Yun's reactions slowed down considerably. After a while, she vaguely said, "I understand."
Zhang Zhanhong nodded with satisfaction and picked up her notebook to take notes.
Shu Yun said embarrassedly, "Director Zhang, first of all, I want to make it clear to you that I have not been a victim of domestic violence. The reason there are noises at night is because Gu Jun is urging me to exercise, and sometimes I get upset, so..."
She just wanted to be a little dramatic and throw a tantrum, but she never expected it to become public knowledge and even lead to rumors of domestic violence. Shu Yun just wanted to cover her face in anguish.
Zhang Zhanhong didn't expect things to develop in such a bizarre direction, and she stopped taking notes. "Really, several military wives have told me about this."
With tears in her eyes, Shu Yun said, "I'm not lying to you, I'm really fine. My husband even drove me to work this morning, and he's going to pick me up after get off work. Oh, and he brought me lunch too. Does this look like domestic violence?"
"Moreover, I exercised because I ate too well during my pregnancy, and the fetus grew too big, which might pose a risk during childbirth. That's why my doctor advised me to exercise more."
"Oh, I see." Zhang Zhanhong looked at Shu Yun's big belly. "If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was twins. You really need to exercise more."
Shu Yun: ...
