Military husband hasn't returned home for two years? He reads his daughter's heartfelt wor

"Look at this, they dare to go on stage with this kind of performance. I'm glad I didn't go back then."

"That's right. It's okay to lose face yourself, but if you lose face as a man, how can a man survive in the military?"

Li Wanqing was speechless for a moment; their men were all soldiers.

A soldier's honor comes from loyalty and his own ability. When did it become related to a performance?

Li Wanqing listened to the group of people talking about Tiger Balm for a while and then ignored them.

She just wanted to enjoy the performance; knowing yourself and your opponent is the key to success.

The second program was from their Second Division, Third Regiment, and it was Wang Xiumei's program.

Upon her arrival, her makeup alone made her stand out from the crowd, which amused many people.

Under the lights, the "monkey's butt" wasn't as red, but it was still very prominent.

After the song and dance performance, Wang Xiumei stole the show, standing in the center, while the other military wives were barely noticeable.

The people behind started commenting again, but unusually, they praised Wang Xiumei to the skies.

"Wang Xiumei truly lives up to her reputation as a former member of the cultural troupe; her performance was absolutely phenomenal!"

"That's right, it's just a pity. Otherwise, if they hadn't been dragged down by some military wives, things might have been even better."

Those who use the tactic of belittling others to elevate Wang Xiumei are unlikely to be shills hired by Wang Xiumei.

Li Wanqing was thinking about changing to a more distant spot when she unexpectedly became one of the targets of comparison and criticism.

Li Wanqing raised an eyebrow and placed her daughter on Cheng Baichuan's lap, saying, "Keep an eye on Nuonuo."

Cheng Baichuan smiled helplessly as he saw the direction she went.

The only person who would go over to listen to his antics is probably his wife.

......

"Have you heard? The performance by the Third Regiment of the First Division is a bunch of furry kids on stage!"

"Really? The Third Regiment of the First Division is out of manpower? A bunch of kids! How did they even come up with this!"

"I heard that the idea came from a new military wife who came from their area. What was her name again? I forgot."

"Your name is Li Wanqing!" Li Wanqing, who had successfully infiltrated the area, replied.

The military wife who was speaking glanced at her, looking puzzled. "Whose spouse are you? You look so unfamiliar."

Li Wanqing smiled and said, "My man's name is Cheng Baichuan."

The other military spouses nodded. So it was the family of Battalion Commander Cheng Baichuan!

Wait a minute... isn't that the new military wife they were just talking about?

Many military wives feel ashamed to be caught gossiping behind people's backs.

Li Wanqing said with a smile, "Why aren't the sisters-in-law talking anymore?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally, the military wife who had called out Li Wanqing's name stood up with a stern face.

“Say it, we’re telling the truth. You’re a newly arrived military wife, and you’re coaxing a bunch of kids onto the stage.”

"Isn't that treating the honor of your First Division, Third Regiment like a joke?"

"Has your sister-in-law seen the children's performance?" Li Wanqing asked in return.

The other person shook their head, and Li Wanqing asked again, "Then what makes you say they're no good?"

The other person laughed dismissively, "Why would I need to? What can a bunch of kids who haven't even grown their first hairs do?"

"Don't let them all wet their pants in fear when they get on stage!"

After saying that, the other person laughed without any restraint, and the other military wives also laughed along.

It's as if they're already certain the children can't do it!

Li Wanqing took a deep breath to refrain from swearing.

Swearing at someone like that will only make you look like you have no manners.

“Sister-in-law, how about we make a bet?” Li Wanqing said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “If our Third Regiment of the First Division wins in the end, you have to apologize to the children in front of the whole army.”

Upon hearing this, the other person's expression turned extremely ugly, and their eyes became somewhat evasive.

"What? Sister-in-law, you don't dare?" Li Wanqing's lips curled into a mocking smile. "If it weren't for the fact that you don't dare..."

"Let's bet!" The other party was provoked and agreed without thinking.

Li Wanqing smiled and gave her a thumbs up, "Sister-in-law is amazing! May I ask which family you're from?"

"Liu Ximei, First Regiment, Second Division."

Li Wanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, then she looked at the military wives around her and smiled, "Then I'll have to ask all of you ladies to be my witnesses."

The other military spouses felt like they were being forced into this situation, and wished they hadn't ended up together.

Li Wanqing knew when to stop, waved her hand, and left.

The wives of the soldiers around them started talking all at once, but their voices were a little quieter.

"Sister-in-law, something's not right! What if you lose the bet?"

"That's right. She seems so confident. You'll be the one who suffers in the end!"

......

Each discouraging remark made Liu Ximei feel a little panicked.

However, she quickly calmed down and believed that Wang Xiumei would not lie to her.

"She's just bluffing. How could a bunch of kids win an award? How could they possibly compete with Wang Xiumei's program?"

Other military wives agreed with this, after all, they were just a bunch of kids, how much trouble could they cause!

Seeing that no one else spoke, Liu Ximei breathed a sigh of relief.

She had no choice; if she had backed down just now, these military wives would definitely look down on her in the future.

After Li Wanqing left, her expression turned cold.

She can understand these people targeting her and belittling her as envy, jealousy, and hatred.

But when it comes to targeting children, that becomes malicious.

When she returned to her seat, Li Wanqing had already composed herself and was watching the show with her daughter.

Cheng Baichuan glanced back and remembered the Second Division, First Regiment.

The performances by the military dependents' group came one after another, and soon it would be Li Wanqing's turn.

Li Wanqing wanted to hand her daughter over to Cheng Baichuan, but Nuonuo clung tightly to her clothes.

"Mommy~ together~" Nono blinked her eyes, looking at her mother expectantly.

She's going to visit her older brothers and sisters and cheer them on!

Li Wanqing couldn't stand her soft and cuddly appearance, so she simply took her with her.

"So, are you staying here, or coming together?" Li Wanqing asked Cheng Baichuan.

"I'll go with you!" Cheng Baichuan decisively chose the latter.

His wife and daughter have both left, so there's no point in him staying here alone.

As soon as they arrived backstage, Deng Hongmei pulled Li Wanqing to a corner.

"I heard you made a bet with Liu Ximei from the First Regiment of the Second Division?" Deng Hongmei asked in a low voice.

"Your sister-in-law already knows?" Li Wanqing was a little surprised. The speed at which the news spread was too fast!

Deng Hongmei nodded. "It's just a small matter in the military dependents' area. There are plenty of people watching the spectacle."

Li Wanqing frowned. "The children know too?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Hongmei's expression suddenly became a little strange, and her tone, which was suppressing laughter, seemed to carry a hint of schadenfreude.

"They went backstage specifically to say it in front of the children, so it's hard not to know!"

......

Li Wanqing was a little confused; those people were clearly after the children.

How could Sister Hongmei still laugh after her reaction?
