Chapter 1565: Chapter 1565: Life in the Courtyard (17)

Upon hearing this, the leader laughed angrily, then pointed at the woman and said, "Is this how you teach your child?"

"What’s wrong with teaching my child like this? He’s still young and doesn’t understand. He’ll be better when he grows up. But you, leader, why are you, a grown man, fussing so much over a child?"

The leader was too angry to speak. Fortunately, at this moment, several army wives came over, and were shouting reports. The commissar finally caught a breath, then said, "Come in!"

"Leader, did you call for us?" The wives walked in and asked with a smile. However, upon seeing Jiang Xue and Sister-in-law Tang standing to the side, they immediately understood.

"It’s like this, Sister-in-law Tang said Jiang Xue hit her. I heard you were there at the time, so please explain the situation." The leader spoke, and the wives hesitated for a moment before explaining what had happened.

After they finished speaking, Sister-in-law Tang’s face became very ugly. She glared at them and argued, "You’re talking nonsense."

Afterwards, she glared at Jiang Xue and said, "What benefits did you give them to make them side with you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue laughed angrily and said, "There is divine justice. You know in your heart what you’ve done. As for what you said about me giving them benefits, let me be honest with you, I don’t even know them."

"Impossible!" Sister-in-law Tang refused to believe it. She felt Jiang Xue was lying to her. If Jiang Xue hadn’t given those wives benefits, why would they testify for her?

"Believe what you want." Jiang Xue didn’t argue with the woman further but instead looked at the leader and said, "Leader, the matter has been clarified. Can you clear my name now?"

Listening to Jiang Xue, the leader felt very embarrassed. Previously, he hadn’t investigated thoroughly and almost wronged her, so he apologized, "Comrade Jiang Xue, I’m sorry!"

"No problem!" Jiang Xue waved a hand, then thanked the wives who testified before leaving.

The naughty child saw that Jiang Xue was about to leave, and he was unwilling. Previously, his mom had promised she would give him the ball. Now, she was leaving without giving it to him, so naturally he was unwilling.

Hence, he pulled his mother and pointed at Jiang Xue, saying, "Mom, she hasn’t given me the ball yet, she can’t leave."

Sister-in-law Tang felt very awkward upon hearing this. Previously, she was just trying to pacify the child, who knew he would take it seriously.

The naughty child couldn’t see his mom’s dilemma. Seeing Jiang Xue about to leave the office, he rushed over and hugged her leg.

Seeing the child rushing over, Jiang Xue had originally planned to kick him. But thinking the other was just a child, she held back.

Unexpectedly, the child hugging her leg wouldn’t let her leave and was shouting, "Give me the ball, give me the ball."

Jiang Xue’s face turned ugly, she coldly looked at Sister-in-law Tang and said, "Watch your child. Don’t always covet others’ things. I’ve said, if you want the ball, pay for it. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, how could you get something without any cost."

Sister-in-law Tang became upset upon hearing Jiang Xue’s words and said, "Why are you fussing with a child? My child likes your ball, you should feel honored. Otherwise, why doesn’t he like anyone else’s, just yours?"

"Oh, really?" Jiang Xue heard this, laughed coldly, then pointed at Sister-in-law Tang’s clothes and said, "Then I like the clothes you’re wearing, should you take them off and give them to me?"
