Chapter 108 Deputy Commander Zhou's Family Member Wu Jiaojiao
After hearing what Shi Qingqian said, Political Commissar Wen knew that if he didn't do this, the matter would not be resolved.
"Comrade Shi's request is not excessive. Aunt Tan, you spread rumors and caused trouble in the compound, which had a bad influence. A public apology is also a warning to everyone."
When Aunt Tan heard this, her eyes widened and she looked unconvinced: "Why? I'm not the first person to say that about her, why are you holding on to me?"
"Oh," Shi Qingqian raised an eyebrow, "I wonder who will be the first one?"
"I...I don't know. Everyone says so, and I'm not the only one. If we want to apologize and reflect on ourselves, everyone should come together."
Shi Qingqian stared at Aunt Tan, her eyes like a torch: "Aunt Tan, you must explain everything clearly today. Who was the first to spread the rumor? Did you actually see me in and out of the hospital? Stop trying to be vague."
Aunt Tan shuddered at Shi Qingqian's look, but she still said stubbornly, "I really don't know who the first one is."
"You were so sure just now, how could you not know?" Shi Qingqian said, "Aunt Tan, I urge you to think carefully about this. Do you really want to go on stage and make a self-criticism? Will it affect your reputation and that of your family?"
Shi Qingqian's words were quite tactful.
Xu Huaian pointed out directly with a serious expression: "Aunt Tan, if you still don't tell the truth, then this matter is not as simple as an apology. Think about your son. Do you really want to affect his future because of your stubbornness?"
Aunt Tan's face turned pale, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes wandered across everyone's faces, as if she was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
Finally, like a deflated ball, she slowly said, "Comrade Shi, I've said it all, I actually don't know you at all. The reason I said I saw you go into the hospital for an abortion was because Deputy Regimental Officer Zhou's family told me about it and gave me a lot of things to spread the word."
After hearing what Aunt Tan said, Shi Qingqian's eyes flashed with surprise and anger: "Deputy Captain Zhou's family? I have no grudge against her, why would she do this?"
Aunt Tan knew she had gotten herself into trouble. She lowered her head and whispered, "I really don't know. She told me you had a bad reputation and told me to spread the news. She also gave me some good things, and I..."
After hearing what Aunt Tan said, Political Commissar Wen and Xu Huaian both looked serious.
Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou refers to Zhou Yang, who is the deputy commander of the 19th Regiment, while Xu Huaian is the commander of the 19th Regiment.
In fact, Zhou Yang has more experience than Xu Huaian, and many people thought that Zhou Yang would be promoted to team leader.
But the army is not a place where seniority is the only thing that matters, and in the end Zhou Yang was defeated by the young man Xu Huaian.
He was not convinced, and Political Commissar Wen knew it very well.
However, I didn't expect that Zhou Yang's family would actually spread rumors. It seemed that they were slandering Shi Qingqian, but in fact they wanted to influence Xu Huaian.
Political Commissar Wen's brows were furrowed so hard that they could kill a mosquito. He encouraged any fair and aboveboard competition, but such shady behavior would never be tolerated.
It would be best if this matter had nothing to do with Zhou Yang.
"Comrade Shi, Aunt Tan, please come back to the office with me," Political Commissar Wen said, looking at Xu Huaian and Tan Xin. "You two should come too."
……
A group of people came to the political commissar's office, and Deputy Captain Zhou's family member Wu Jiaojiao was also called in.
The atmosphere in the office was very depressing. Political Commissar Wen sat behind his desk with a serious expression.
As soon as Wu Jiaojiao came in, she felt the oppressive atmosphere. She smiled and pretended to be calm and said, "Political Commissar Wen, why are you looking for me so urgently? Is there something wrong?"
Political Commissar Wen didn't respond to her smile and said bluntly, "Comrade Wu, do you know Aunt Tan?"
Wu Jiaojiao glanced at Aunt Tan, her heart skipping a beat, but she still said, "I know her. We're all from the compound."
"Then did you ask Aunt Tan to spread rumors about Comrade Shi Qingqian?" Political Commissar Wen raised his voice a few degrees, his eyes fixed on Wu Jiaojiao.
Wu Jiaojiao's face turned pale, but she still denied it flatly: "Political Commissar, where did you hear this? How could I do such a thing?"
Aunt Tan couldn't help but whisper, "Wu Jiaojiao, stop denying it. I've already made everything clear. You were the one who asked me to say that I saw Captain Xu's family go to the hospital for an abortion."
"Aunt Tan, what are you talking about? When did I ever ask you to do such a thing?" Wu Jiaojiao denied flatly. "Political Commissar, I don't even know Captain Xu's family. How could I possibly do this? You have to make the decision for me."
Political Commissar Wen frowned, his eyes becoming even more stern. "Wu Jiaojiao, Aunt Tan has already admitted her mistake. There's no reason for her to fabricate you again. If you admit it now and apologize publicly, this matter can be put to rest."
"If you don't admit it and wait for our people to find out, then it won't be as simple as an apology. Zhou Yang will also be held accountable."
Wu Jiaojiao's body trembled slightly, her eyes full of hesitation and fear. She looked at the serious face of Political Commissar Wen, then looked at the other people around her and bit her lip.
Aunt Tan said anxiously, "Xiao Wu, admit it quickly. It was clearly you who asked me to do this. I've kept all the things you gave me. If you don't admit it, I'll take them all out and hand them over to the political commissar."
In any case, her son must not be implicated.
Wu Jiaojiao's psychological defenses gradually collapsed. She slowly lowered her head and whispered, "Political Commissar, I...I admit that it was me who asked Aunt Tan to spread those rumors."
Political Commissar Wen snorted coldly, "Why would you do this? Don't you know that this is a violation of discipline and damages the reputation of others?"
Wu Jiaojiao cried, "Political Commissar, I know I was wrong. I just saw that Commander Xu was promoted to Commander, and that position should have been my son Zhou's. I was jealous and felt it was unfair."
"I thought that if Shi Qingqian's reputation was ruined, Captain Xu would also be affected, so I did this in a moment of confusion."
Political Commissar Wen frowned and said, "Wu Jiaojiao, your thinking is too narrow. In the army, promotions are based on ability and contribution, not such despicable means."
"I know I was wrong, I really do," Wu Jiaojiao said hurriedly, "This matter has nothing to do with my old Zhou. Please don't let him be implicated, Political Commissar."
There are very few people in the family compound who can get jobs. Most people stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. It is normal for them to get together and chat in their free time.
Even if there were bad words, the person being talked about would just grit his teeth and endure it, and at most the family members of the division commander and the political commissar would be called in to give them a few words of advice.
Wu Jiaojiao never thought that she would be the one to cause such a big disturbance this time. Facing the political commissar's wife and the political commissar himself were two completely different situations.
Otherwise she wouldn't have admitted it so quickly.
