After hearing Zhao Hongmei's words, Gu Xiaobei was deep in thought. It was odd that Ou Tiannan's business was doing so poorly, yet he wasn't eager to turn it around. Instead, he was selling low, which was not the norm.
Zhao Hongmei couldn't stop discussing the matter, and immediately began chattering about new gossip: "Zhong Zhi has been demobilized, and his wife comes to the family compound every day causing a fuss. She says it's not fair, that Zhong Zhi's mistakes were simply regular training errors, and there was no corporeal punishment. If there really was, they wouldn't have just kicked him once. Furthermore, she argues that it was an accident during combat training, that so many soldiers falsified testimonies because some people can buy others' loyalty. She even frequently stops old Zeng from our house, incessantly voicing her grievances."
