Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 297: It’s Not Right Just Because Many People Do It Wrong
Commander Qin first approached the Cultural Troupe, asking their leader to pressure Commander Xue’s wife to apologize. However, the Cultural Troupe leader, seeing Commander Qin still in a wheelchair, likely thought he wouldn’t return to the team and refused the request. In retaliation, Commander Qin reported both the Cultural Troupe leader and Commander Xue’s wife. Do you think only Commander Xue’s wife was punished? Because of this incident, Qiu Yirou from the Cultural Troupe was also dismissed. We didn’t bring it up because we don’t care about those people from the Cultural Troupe," Auntie Ju explained, her face serious.
Auntie Lin was stunned for two seconds, then burst into tears. "Why am I so unlucky? Commander Qin is a man, how can he be so petty! Is only his wife a human being? Are other people’s wives not human?"
What kind of man behaves like this! Women’s matters should not concern him. Does he think only he can love his wife?
"Alright, stop crying. You’d better go home and talk to your husband. At most, he’ll just scold you a bit," Auntie Ju sighed, trying to comfort her.
Auntie Lin’s tears flowed even more as she thought about how angry her husband would be. But there was no other way out; she couldn’t wait for Commander Qin to come knocking at her door! She had planned to make a beautiful dress to strengthen her relationship with her husband. Ever since she had their third child, he hadn’t touched her for almost a year. She wanted to look good and let him see she was making an effort to get along with Commander Qin’s wife. Now, she was out of luck: she had lost the money, offended someone, and her plan to strengthen their bond was in jeopardy.
Unlike those Aunties’ misery, Su Yijia was very happy on her way back. Qin Kaize held her hand, occasionally giving it a light shake.
"Do you think I’m a hassle?" Su Yijia turned around, tilting her head to look at him. Her big, almond-shaped eyes were so bright that a single blink could captivate Qin Kaize.
"You’re so wonderful. Why would I find you a hassle?" Qin Kaize laughed softly.
"Because ever since I came to the island, I’ve been offending people and arguing, which surely affects your reputation," Su Yijia said, pouting her rosy lips in a pitiful way. Even though he knew she was acting, Qin Kaize couldn’t help but give her a gentle tap on the head.
"Stop overthinking! They offended you, not the other way around. Just because many people do wrong doesn’t mean those who fight back are wrong. If others can’t distinguish right from wrong, that’s on them. Don’t let yourself suffer because of me or Uncle Xia," Qin Kaize said firmly.
If someone thought he was at fault, so be it. Anyone who couldn’t tell right from wrong should stay away from him. Besides, Jiajia had already tried to get along with the Aunties for his and Uncle Xia’s sake. Otherwise, with her busy schedule, why would she waste time making dresses for them? She had so many things to do: studying for her exams, refining oils, making whitening lotion and hair growth solution, and managing an entire space. If she hadn’t promised the Aunties first, he wouldn’t have agreed.
"But what about your former subordinates? Those Aunties are their wives, right?" Su Yijia asked seriously. They were in the same unit and had to work together on missions. It could be dangerous if they didn’t get along.
"Even if I return to the team, I’ll be moving up and won’t go back to the old unit," Qin Kaize explained. Uncle Xia was working on a plan that could lead to him being promoted twice in a row. If successful, and if he got into the National Defense University, he could transfer to Jingdu City after graduation. But since the plan wasn’t finalized, Qin Kaize didn’t want to tell Su Yijia and make her worry.
"Alright, don’t think about those unhappy things. Remember, you’re my wife and Uncle Xia’s daughter-in-law. Even if the sky falls, we’ll stand by you," Qin Kaize reassured her.
Satisfied with his answer, Su Yijia beamed. "Then let’s cook this rabbit tonight, okay?" She held up the plump rabbit, shaking it slightly.
They had finished the hotpot for lunch, so dinner needed to be prepared anew.
"Alright, I’ll make spicy rabbit."
"Cut the rabbit pieces bigger; small ones are no fun to eat," Su Yijia quickly reminded him. Hotel rabbit dishes were always cut too small. At home, she could enjoy big chunks of meat.
"All four legs are yours," Qin Kaize said affectionately, his eyes filled with warmth as he looked at her.
That night, not only did Su Yijia enjoy large pieces of spicy rabbit, but she also indulged in marinated raw food until she was full. When she finally slumped on the couch, asking Qin Kaize to rub her belly, someone started calling for them outside their fence. Qin Kaize’s face showed clear annoyance. Though he didn’t want to deal with the people outside, they kept calling.
Su Yijia gently pushed his hand away, "Go see what they want."
"It’s nothing good!" Qin Kaize grumbled, knowing they were probably there to apologize. But he listened to Su Yijia and went to open the door.
The six Aunties’ husbands stood there, holding gifts and dragging their wives forward. "Boss, we’re really sorry! Our wives spoke out of turn. Please, don’t be mad at us and our wives." They all looked very sincere. The Aunties quickly nodded, "Commander Qin, it’s all our fault! We were being nosy and trying to meddle in your family’s affairs. We came to apologize to you and your wife. Can you bring her out so we can apologize in person?"
These women were older than Su Yijia, but their husbands’ ranks were lower than Commander Qin’s. They usually called him "Boss," so they had to call Su Yijia "Sister-in-law." Although they were reluctant, they couldn’t deny the need for this apology.
Qin Kaize’s eyes were cold as he glanced at them before turning back into the house. Though he had no intention of forgiving them, he knew they needed to apologize. He reached out and led Su Yijia from the living room.
As soon as they saw her, the men and their wives hastened to apologize:
"Sister-in-law, we’re really sorry! It’s our fault for not keeping our wives in check."
"Sorry! We were thoughtless and meddled. Please don’t be mad at us. We promise never to be so reckless again," Auntie Ju said, reaching out to grab Su Yijia’s hand.
