Chapter 153 - 48 Godmother
Wu Ermei returned home, still feeling a bit uneasy, and pulled Jiang Wei aside, "Hey, was what you told me before true?"
"What thing?" Jiang Wei looked puzzled.
"About Shen Chi," Wu Ermei said anxiously, "Didn’t you say that in the barracks, many soldiers who looked at Xiaoguai were handled by him? And didn’t you also mention that afterward, two officers who gossiped somehow made mistakes and were called in for ideological work?"
"Is that so, what about it?" Jiang Wei fed his son a chopstick of pickled vegetables and took a swig of rice wine before asking.
"Didn’t you say that Shen Chi cannot be offended? Does that mean he’s not very magnanimous?" Although Shen Chi hadn’t treated them badly today, she still couldn’t shake a feeling of unease.
"That kind of thing has nothing to do with being magnanimous or not, any man with a bit of temper would care about it," Jiang Wei replied indifferently.
Wu Ermei paused, recounted today’s events, and then asked, "Do you think Shen Chi will hold a grudge?"
Jiang Wei frowned but did not answer her question. He said with a displeased tone, "How many times have I told you not to get involved in Niu Lan’s business? Why don’t you ever listen?"
"Isn’t it because of her mother?" Wu Ermei felt a bit guilty, then righteously continued, "When my mom was seriously ill and people saw how poor we were and refused to lend us money, wasn’t it Niu Lan’s mother who helped us? Without her, where would we have gotten the money for my mother’s pain relief injections? How could my mother have passed away so peacefully?"
"Both of Niu Lan’s parents are gone now, and she’s ended up like this, how can I not help?"
