I emptied my family's possessions to join the army, and my abstinent superior doted on me.

Chapter 85 Evil People Will Get Their Retribution

Qian Lai ignored the ridicule of the crowd.

She listened calmly to the barrage of vicious words, her eyes like icy blades tempered with venom, and stared fiercely at Tian Erxi, shouting sharply, "Tian Erxi, shut your filthy mouth!"

She scanned Tian Erxi and her group of accomplices and gossips one by one, finally focusing her gaze precisely on Tian Erxi's face, which was filled with meanness and jealousy.

"Tian Erxi, who were you laughing at just now? Were you laughing at Gu Hanchuan? A combat hero who earned a first-class merit and was personally awarded a medal by the leaders of the Central Military Commission!"

Her sinister smile sent chills down your spine.

"Yes, he is now in a wheelchair. But he is a well-known 'killer' in the entire army who is fearless on the battlefield and a 'living Yama' who strikes fear into the hearts of the enemy."

In that battle, Gu Hanchuan led his five regiments in a seven-day, seven-night battle to buy time for the main force. They numbered 2,500 men against 8,000 enemy troops.

They fought until less than three hundred men remained.

But after he was already safe, he turned back to search for his missing comrades.

In the end, he was wounded while saving his comrades.

Qian Lai pointed angrily at Tian Erxi's nose: "Even great men have said that we should all remember this battle. The blood of heroes cannot be shed in vain. But what about you, the son of Battalion Commander Guo? Is this how you remember the heroes?"

While he was in his hospital bed, gritting his teeth in pain, you were here gossiping and munching on braised pork!

They eat the stable food that these people risked their lives for, live in the peaceful haven these people protected, and then they turn around and use such despicable words to slander him?

Qian Lai's words caused a great stir.

Many family members couldn't help but think of their loved ones, some of whom were disabled in the battle, and some of whom lost their lives.

Take Wang Naifeng, who is standing next to Tian Erxi, for example.

Her younger brother was killed in that battle.

And there was Grandma Song sitting nearby, enjoying the cool air. All five of her sons were handed over to the army, but in the end, only one son returned alive from that battle.

Such cases are not uncommon in the residential compound.

Many people stopped laughing immediately upon hearing Qian Lai's words, as sadness rekindled their memories of impending death.

"Yes, it's from Battalion Commander Guo's family! You can joke around with me all you want normally, but how could you say that about Deputy Division Commander Gu?"

"Exactly, where's your awareness?"

Everyone started talking.

Qian Lai seized the opportunity to add, "No wonder your husband hasn't been promoted all these years, the problem lies with you."

They're the family member of a battalion commander, yet they don't know what kind of crime this is.

You're really dragging Lao Guo down.

The smile on Tian Erxi's face gradually cracked.

"And one more time! I'll reiterate. Tang Yazhu is my friend. If anyone tries to pin any wrong conclusions on her, don't blame me for being impolite."

Tian Erxi, you don't believe I'll make a scene at the leadership's place, do you?
"Let's go, let's go ask the political commissar now, and then ask our Women's Federation director, Sister Li, whether what you said is slander or not."

As Qian Lai spoke, he grabbed Tian Erxi by the collar and pulled her towards the main road without hesitation.

Caught off guard, Tian Erxi was pulled forward by her, looking extremely disheveled.

"Let go of me, are you crazy?" Tian Erxi was being pulled by the collar all the way, and no matter how hard she struggled, it was to no avail.

Qian Lai was really furious. As he grabbed her by the collar, his sharp nails scratched two bloody marks on Tian Erxi's neck.

"Let's go find the political commissar to settle this matter."

The crowd grew larger and larger, and the children, unaware of what was happening, thought there was some fun parade going on, cheering and following along on both sides. Gu Hanchuan got out of the jeep and was pushed by Huo Guanghui and Li Ran towards the family compound. Xiao Li followed behind them.

From a distance, they could see Qian Lai dragging someone toward them, as if he were carrying a large flag.

The scale and momentum were truly enormous.

Huo Guanghui, unaware of what had happened, saw Qian Lai's heroic figure and joked with Gu Hanchuan, "Is your heroine about to go into battle?"

Who knew that I would see it clearly when I got closer?

Tian Erxi was being held by the collar and couldn't break free.

Qian Lai looked up and saw Huo Guanghui and Li Ran, then stopped in her tracks.

"Political Commissar Huo, Sister Li, you've come at the perfect time. I was just on my way to the military region to seek justice from the leaders."

Then, Qian Lai repeated Tian Erxi's words verbatim.

"Political Commissar Huo, I want to sue her for insulting a hero. Sister Li, I beg you to clear my friend Comrade Tang Yazhu's name, exonerate her, set things right, and punish those who spread rumors."

Hearing Qian Lai's words, Huo Guanghui's face turned ashen with anger. Li Ran knew what kind of temper her man had, so she kept squeezing his hand secretly to tell him not to get angry.

Gu Hanchuan, in his wheelchair, remained calm. However, only Qian Lai knew that Gu Hanchuan's calmness usually foreshadowed an impending storm.

It was Li Ran who spoke first.

"Comrade Tang Yazhu was transferred to our military region. The political department conducted the political review and approved the transfer."

After a rigorous political review, Comrade Tang Yazhu was found to be a diligent and conscientious comrade who adhered to military and Party discipline, and worked tirelessly and without complaint.
If anyone deliberately smears a cadre, the organization will not hesitate to take drastic measures.

"That's right! How dare you say such a thing as a family member of an official?"
Deputy Division Commander Gu was wounded while defending his country.

Even though he can no longer go to the battlefield, he is still our most valuable geomagnetic storm expert. Even the generals keep a close eye on him.

How dare you gossip about others during your leisure time?

Huo Guanghui's face was ashen.

All the family members and children were too frightened to make any move.

"And another thing!" Huo Guanghui sighed, looking at Tian Erxi with a helpless expression. "We were originally planning to go to your house to inform you."

Tian Erxi seemed to have sensed something was wrong from Huo Guanghui's expression.

The hand that had been gripping Qian Lai tightly also lost its strength.

Huo Guanghui shook his head and sighed, "Old Guo was just transferred to the military hospital today. He was injured."

Tian Erxi panicked completely: "Old Guo, where is he injured? How badly? Will he die?"

Huo Guanghui lowered his voice, speaking in a tone only Tian Erxi could hear, "I'm afraid he won't be able to... you'll know if you go to the hospital and see."

Tian Erxi burst into tears and collapsed to the ground, wailing and lamenting.

Soon, a perceptive person nearby seemed to understand what was happening and began to whisper among themselves.

"It's damaged to the core, isn't it? Well, you were just laughing at someone else for being paralyzed and unable to do *that*. And now your own man is the one who's hurt."

Some people couldn't help but laugh: "Is this what they call 'instant karma'? So we have to watch our mouths from now on and dare not talk nonsense."

"Hurry up and go to the hospital." Huo Guanghui's face was full of annoyance.

Tian Erxi realized what was happening and was about to run home when he heard Gu Hanchuan's cold, hoarse voice say, "Old Huo, she insulted disabled veterans and their families, and then she slandered revolutionary comrades. Are we just going to let this go?"
