Chapter 6 Short Matchstick
"I really didn't bully anyone." Sister-in-law Wang unconsciously raised her volume when nervous, but to the military spouses, it seemed like a sign of guilt.
Seeing everyone silent, Sister-in-law Wang grabbed Wang Mei, who was closest, and said, "Little sister, tell these sisters-in-law and younger sisters about what happened just now."
Wang Mei didn't expect Sister-in-law Wang to grab her and hesitated, biting her lip.
Sitting nearby, Gu Fuqiao saw everything clearly; Wang Mei, the "white lotus," probably knew how to skate around issues.
Now everyone thought her sister-in-law was in the wrong, yet she was too cowardly to explain.
"Little sister, why aren't you saying anything!" Sister-in-law Wang grew anxious when Wang Mei stayed silent, quickly pinching Wang Mei's arm, saying, "Sister-in-law isn't asking you to lie, just state what happened before!"
Sister-in-law Wang spoke these words in front of so many people, leaving Wang Mei no choice but to speak.
She looked at the people by the door and then turned to Gu Fuqiao, saying, "Sister-in-law Gu, today's matter was indeed our fault, my sister-in-law was too impatient, I apologize on her behalf."
Sister-in-law Wang was stunned to hear Wang Mei apologize as soon as she spoke.
This was when Gu Fuqiao chimed in.
She slowly smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a minor incident. As neighbors, harmony and unity are most important, aren't they? Besides, it was my unintentional action that hurt Sister-in-law Wang first."
