Chapter 237: Absolutely Cannot Repeat the Same Mistakes
Jiang Xiaoya was initially somewhat incredulous: "Haizhen, where did you hear that?"
Zhang Haizhen felt some pity for Jiang Xiaoya: "The whole unit has been talking about it these past few days, and it was Shen Yanru herself who confessed. She also likes Deputy Battalion Commander Fu, but the rest of us know you like Deputy Battalion Commander Fu, so naturally she couldn't say it openly."
After learning the truth, Jiang Xiaoya was incredibly furious: "I treated her as my best friend. Every time my family sent me something good, I would share a portion with her. How could she treat me like this?"
Zhang Haizhen knew Jiang Xiaoya couldn't take it all at once: "Xiaoya, if this matter hadn't been so deeply entangled, Shen Yanru probably wouldn't have confessed either. It's a good thing to know her true character now; it's far better than being completely used by someone later."
Mao Weifang, who shared the dorm, also advised: "Haizhen is right. Besides, Shen Yanru has learned her lesson. After such an incident, I'm afraid she can no longer stay in the Communications Company."
Come to think of it, Shen Yanru was outsmarted by her own cleverness. If she hadn't harbored ill intentions and secretly investigated Deputy Battalion Commander Fu Yan Cheng's whereabouts, she wouldn't have been exploited.
Fortunately, she shook us off, Haizhen and me; otherwise, the two of us would probably have been locked up in solitary confinement just like Jiang Xiaoya.
If it hadn't been for her honest confession, which led to the exposure of an enemy agent, she would have been directly purged from the unit.
Just as they expected, after Shen Yanru returned, she was not transferred out of the Communications Company, but was no longer assigned as a telephone operator; instead, she was directly transferred to the scrap warehouse to work as a registrar.
When Shen Yanru learned of this news, she nearly fainted from anger: "I was also exploited. Why treat me like this?"
"Comrade Shen, this arrangement was made by the superior organization after comprehensive consideration. We are only responsible for delivering the message. If you have objections, you can submit a report to your superior leadership through the proper channels."
Shen Yanru's face was terrifyingly pale: "How could this happen?"
She thought to herself: No matter what, she must endure; she absolutely cannot leave the unit and return to that family that eats people without spitting out the bones.
Moreover, she must find a way out as soon as possible; otherwise, once her family learns of her current situation, she will have a hard time of it.
She has an older brother and an older sister above her, and two younger brothers and a younger sister below her; she is stuck in the middle and is the least favored. If she hadn't made plans for herself early on, secretly signed up for the unit, and only told her family after receiving the notice, she would have been sent to the countryside long ago.
Since joining the unit, her parents have finally shown her a slightly kinder face. Just as she was thinking about how to advance further, live a life above others, and make her parents look at her differently, this incident happened.
It seems she must accelerate her pace. She struggled so hard to climb out of the mire; she absolutely cannot repeat the same mistakes.
Thinking of Fu Yan Cheng, a fire reignited in her heart. Only by marrying such an outstanding man could she live the life she had always dreamed of.
At this thought, a strange look flashed in her eyes.
After his sister left, Xia Qiu said quietly to Qiu Shaofeng: "Chuxue brought me a wild pheasant to help me build up my strength. I thought it would be better to give it to Great-Grandma so she could stew it and we could all eat together."
The reason Chuxue did not bring out the wild pheasant in front of the Qiu family was that she knew her own sister would never eat alone; it was better for this favor to be sold by her sister herself.
Let everyone owe a debt of gratitude to her sister.
Qiu Shaofeng was originally somewhat unwilling; after all, items sent by the natal families of the eldest and second daughters-in-law were rarely shared with the whole family, and the second daughter-in-law had not spared any opportunity to belittle his own wife.
However, since his wife had already spoken, he, as a grown man, found it hard to haggle over such trifles.
