Chapter 222: Talking Behind My Back? If You've Got the Guts, Say It to My Face!

~7 min read 1,400 words

She opened her mouth to curse, but when she wiped the water from her eyes, she saw An Yinan and her face instantly turned pale.

She remembered last time; she was no match for her at all.

Right then, she sat down on the ground, slapping the earth with both hands and kicking her feet, "I don't want to live anymore!"

"And you call yourself an intellectual! Bullying me like this!"

"Liu Tie Zhu, come back and see this quickly! Someone is using their husband's high rank to bully me!"

"Bullying a woman with two children! Who will stand up for me?"

"You black-hearted thing, you won't let people live, everyone come and see this."

An Yinan let out a cold laugh and just watched her.

If she wasn't afraid of losing face, why should she be?

A shrew, she had seen one before!

A shrew this dirty, she had seen one before too.

But a shrew this dirty who didn't even realize it, she really wanted to see it for herself today.

"Um, Chen Ying Zhang Xi Fu, we didn't say anything, we're leaving right now."

"Right, we didn't say a thing."

The few people who had just been sitting across from Wang Erhua hurriedly stood up, wanting to leave this place.

Chen Ying Zhang Xi Fu clearly wasn't someone easy to deal with; they were just small-time folk and really couldn't afford to provoke her.

An Yinan gave a cold laugh; if she remembered correctly, two of these people were there last time, right?

What a coincidence!

An Yinan smiled coldly, her eyes narrowing slightly, "Heh~"

"We've been chatting for a long time, and you're leaving the moment I arrive; you sisters-in-law must look down on me!"

"I wonder where I offended you all? Making you sisters-in-law avoid me like the plague?"

The coldest expression, saying the harshest words!

It left the few of them not knowing whether to go or stay!

Especially one of them, whose eyes had been darting around for a long time; after looking at her, her gaze would dodge away.

People! Sometimes being too kind can lead to endless trouble.

She had originally thought that since they were all wives of Chen Xun's comrades, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble, and dealing with the ringleader was enough.

But who knew, some people were like rats in the sewer, with twisted minds.

"No, sister-in-law, you've misunderstood. We were just gathered together to chat, we didn't mean anything else," one of them said.

She wasn't here last time, but that incident had caused a huge stir in the Military District, and her husband had even specifically warned her never to provoke Chen Xun's wife.

She was older, and her husband was older too, but she still called An Yinan sister-in-law, which even contained an element of showing weakness.

An Yinan walked over to a rock, brushed the snow off it with her hand, and sat straight down.

"Oh? Gathered to chat? Let me listen in too."

"Speaking of which, I've been too busy since coming to this Northeast Camp and haven't had a chance to chat with you sisters-in-law. Today, let's just use this opportunity to have a good chat."

An Yinan smiled and fiddled with her tender, white fingers.

"It'll also let you sisters-in-law understand my temperament and character." She said this very slowly, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips; her fair skin looked translucent against the reflection of the snow, shimmering with a faint glow, but the meaning behind her words made everyone's back tighten.

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

No one dared to speak; everyone looked at An Yinan, and not one dared to leave, let alone mention leaving.

"What?" An Yinan scanned the circle, ignoring only Wang Erhua, who was still throwing a tantrum on the ground.

"Do you sisters-in-law look down on me? Are you unwilling to even include me in your chat?" An Yinan looked at the silent group, her face looking miserable while she laughed inside.

Talking behind my back? If you've got the guts, say it to my face!

The few sisters-in-law hurriedly waved their hands and sat back down one after another, just like students who wanted to go out and play but suddenly ran into a teacher coming into the classroom?

Such an obedient scene, their own parents probably hadn't even seen it?

The rocks at the Northeast Camp were cold and hard; their bottoms had only been off the rock for a minute, but sitting back down, they felt a bone-chilling cold.

That wife of Captain Wang had shifty eyes, thin sweat had already broken out on her forehead, and she didn't dare look An Yinan in the eye.

She didn't dare meet her gaze; her eyes seemed to see through everything, and that half-smiling expression made her feel as if she were exposed in front of everyone.

Already feeling guilty, her body trembled slightly at this moment.

An Yinan sneered; with just this little bit of skill, what kind of ghost story are you trying to play with me?

For a moment, the scene was silent, save for Wang Erhua, who would occasionally whimper, "Who will... stand up for me."

The ground wasn't just dirt; it was snow-covered ground. She had thrashed too hard at the beginning, and now her whole body was covered in snow, and with the basin of laundry water, the snow was gradually melting.

But the temperature here was truly too low, and the melted snow soaked into her clothes and was frozen by the cold weather.

Someone quick-witted soon ran toward the training ground regarding the situation here.

"Battalion Commander, go take a look quickly, sister-in-law is in a conflict with someone." The soldier panted.

When An Yinan beat Wang Erhua last time, he was a member of that squad, and later he even got a bottle of Frostbite Ointment from her.

That Frostbite Ointment was amazing; the moment it was applied, his hands stopped itching, and the next day he could clearly feel the frostbite slowly shrinking; his hands, which had been swollen like buns, also slowly returned to their original state.

Although the Military later issued Frostbite Ointment, he always felt that the one from sister-in-law was better to use.

Now that sister-in-law was facing so many people, she must not be wronged.

Chen Xun frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Liu Tie Zhu walked over with a loud laugh, "I wonder who's having bad luck today."

"Battalion Commander, your wife's temper is a bit too bad; this is happening time and time again, it's not a very good influence."

Chen Xun had a life-and-death friendship with him; last time it was his wife who caused trouble, and he originally had no face to face Chen Xun, but now he was relieved; at least it wasn't his own family's joke.

"Snow Ghost, are you finished over here? Let's go over and take a look." Zhang Qian also ran over quickly.

The youngsters in the team were grateful for An Yinan's Frostbite Ointment, and one by one, they were too anxious to focus on training; if this continued, it would greatly affect their progress.

Moreover, he was worried about An Yinan; although that person could not be taken advantage of, he was worried she might hurt someone else's sister-in-law.

Chen Xun's face turned cold, "Rest."

He ran quickly back to the residential area, and following behind him were teams of people.

Leading the charge, besides Zhang Qian, was Liu Tie Zhu.

"I can't go on living!"

"Chatter-chatter"...

"There is no one to stand up for us!"

"Chatter-chatter"...

The sound of speaking grew quieter and quieter, while the sound of teeth chattering grew louder and louder.

Upon hearing the sound, the people who had just been mocking Chen Xun now had stiff expressions on their faces.

Before the group had even reached the place, they ran into the Chief and the Secretary.

Mo Kun was in a meeting with the Secretary when he heard a report that a commotion had broken out over here.

They hurried over; this was, after all, the rear base for the soldiers.

"You've come too? Let's go in and take a look." Mo Kun glanced at Chen Xun and Liu Tie Zhu.

The group of people all arrived at the area where they usually gathered to gossip.
