"I'm not worried about that," Aunty Liu said. "What if the two of them are meeting up? It would be so awkward if we walked over."
The other woman was Chen Cuihua, Deputy Battalion Commander Jiang's wife. She batted her eyes and said, "I heard our Old Jiang say before that Battalion Commander Ling was messing around with men and women. He was clearly already in a relationship with Comrade Shu from the communications department, yet here he is meeting up with other female comrades. I have to report this to the political commissar; this is a matter of moral character."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense," Aunty Liu said, pulling her back. "You can't just say things like that. The apartment allocated to Battalion Commander Ling is right next to mine. These past few days, he's been busy buying furniture and fixing up the place. My Old Liu went over to help out and told me all about it when he got back. Battalion Commander Ling is married, and it has nothing to do with Comrade Shu. This must be Battalion Commander Ling's wife."
