972 Military Family

Seeing that the man was so stubborn, Xia He did not want to say anything else and decided to wait for the police to arrive. Xia He forcefully shook off the man’s hand on her collar, dusted herself off and stood beside Xia Fang.

Qiao Mei had already completed the second checkup. She could not understand the test results, so she needed to get Xia Fang to go in and talk to the doctor in person.

She slowly opened the door and everyone’s eyes were immediately drawn to her. Xia He immediately went forward and grabbed Qiao Mei’s wheelchair, wanting to bring her away from the location. This place was really too dangerous.

Qiao Mei held Xia He’s hand to make her stop. She looked calmly at the man in front of her and said, “If you don’t have enough money, I can pay for your wife’s checkup.”

“What… what do you mean?” The man looked at Qiao Mei hesitantly.

How could there be such a good thing in this world? Could it be that the woman in front of him was a fool? Otherwise, who would go around spending money on strangers? Or did these women want to use money to shut him up and stop him from spreading rumors?

Just as the man was thinking about all these, Qiao Mei said something that made him furious. “After all… not all men can afford to spend money on their wives. I can understand that and I’m willing to help her. As a woman, my heart aches for her that she hasn’t married well. Just take this as my good deed of the day.”

Xia Fang was already used to Qiao Mei’s sharp tongue which was always coupled with a kind smile on her face. Qiao Mei had already taken some money out from her pocket to give it to the man. Xia He stood behind Qiao Mei and held back her laughter. With just one sentence, this young girl had completely defeated the other party. Qiao Mei was still the best at winning an argument!

“My wife doesn’t need your hypocritical assistance! You’re just worried that this matter will be exposed, so you want to use money to shut me up! Let me tell you, there’s no way! I don’t even know where you get your money! You’re pregnant at such a young age. Don’t tell me you’re some rich man’s mistress!” The man looked at Qiao Mei with a disdainful smile.

When the people around them heard such scandalous talk, they all gathered around and listened intently, not wanting to miss out on any exciting gossip.

Qiao Mei’s expression darkened. It did not matter to her if others said that she was hypocritical or a show off. However, she would not allow anyone to say anything bad about Xia Zhe or mock the Xia family. This was her bottom line.

“You have to be responsible for what you say. If you’re telling lies, you’ll have to pay a huge price,” Qiao Mei said sternly.

The man thought that Qiao Mei was just trying to scare him and said nonchalantly, “So what if I say it? What can you do to me? How can someone who’s a mistress be so bossy! Where does your confidence come from?”

“My aunt and I are both family members of soldiers. My elder sister is a soldier herself. Are you sure that everything you said is true?” Qiao Mei asked.

During this era, if one quarreled with someone from an ordinary family, at most everyone had to go to mediation. However, if one had a conflict with a soldier or a soldier’s family member, it was not something that could be resolved with a simple apology. One would have to bear legal responsibility.

At the same time, soldiers were being scrutinized by the public at all times. The behavior of a soldier’s family members would also be taken as a reflection upon the entire family.

“Who’s going to believe that! I can also say that my father is a soldier! Our family is full of soldiers. Do you believe me?” the man said disdainfully.

He did not think that he would be so unlucky to have created trouble for a soldier’s family member. This was simply like a bolt from the blue. If Qiao Mei and the rest really used a legit VIP route and did not get in through the back door, then everything he said would be lies and there would be people coming after him.

If the issue was serious enough, they would even put up posters about his wrongdoings and he would have to repent aloud in front of all the neighbors until the victim was satisfied. Otherwise, he would be fined or even jailed.

“We’re really military wives. You can call the police and check on it. They have records of all the family members of all the soldiers,” Qiao Mei said.
