Jiang Lin sneered, and his mocking expression made Guan Jin unable to contain her anger. The way Jiang Lin looked at her made her heart tremble. His eyes were devoid of any warmth, as if she were someone insignificant to him, no, even less important than someone insignificant.

"Family, do you consider yourself my family? Maybe you used to? Do you even see my family? Haven't you always thought of us as a burden? You think your family is better off than mine, your parents are both military doctors, much better off than mine. You used to just hide these thoughts."

I'll pretend I don't know. Ever since you had the child, you've felt that no matter what you're like, I have to obey you. Do you think I don't know? Over the years, I haven't told you how many things you've bought for your family and how much money you've spent. Just because I don't say doesn't mean I don't know. Don't treat me like a fool.

My family isn't as well-off as yours. When I married you, my sister and brother-in-law, my brother and sister-in-law, every single one of them gave you a generous red envelope. And what did you bring back? Forget your pathetic dowry, what about the bride price I gave? Where did the money go?

Jiang Lin's words, one by one, completely exposed Guan Jin's true colors. Guan Yong's face also darkened. Zhao Yafang stood up, pointed at Jiang Lin, and angrily rebuked him: "What do you mean by this? Are you saying we didn't give enough dowry? We raised a daughter with great difficulty, and she's a medical school graduate with a decent job. Is your dowry too much? Did we raise a daughter just to give her away for nothing?"

"Hehe, this is really interesting." Jiang Lin looked around at the people in the room. No wonder Guan Jin has changed so much in the past two years. It turns out that she was really influenced by her family.

"When we got married, I gave 666 yuan as a bride price, and what did you give as a dowry? Two quilts? 66 yuan as a dowry? You said that Guan Jin is in the military hospital, so it's more convenient for her to stay at home, so she doesn't need to bring any dowry. She can use whatever she wants at home. I've saved you face, but it seems you think I'm easy to manipulate."

On my wedding day, my older sister and brother-in-law gave me a red envelope with a face value of 99 yuan, and my older brother and sister-in-law also gave me a red envelope with a face value of 99 yuan. My uncle, cousin, aunt, uncle, and cousins ​​all gave me red envelopes with a face value of at least 200 or 300 yuan.

After we got married, I never saw her salary, and all my allowance, except for the little pocket money I kept for myself, went to her. I covered all the household expenses myself; Guan Jin never contributed a single penny. She ate plenty of the things my sister sent, and kept calling them bloodsuckers. But who are the real bloodsuckers? I've never seen her show a shred of gratitude. People shouldn't be so greedy.

Guan Yong slammed his hand on the coffee table: "Jiang Lin, what are you trying to do by bringing up these old grievances now?"

Jiang Lin didn't care about seniority anymore: "I don't want to do anything, I just want us to be clear about the situation. You know where this money went. When I get back, I will file for divorce with the organization. You'd better calculate my salary clearly, I will get it all back."

After Jiang Lin finished speaking, he turned and left. Guan Yong's face turned ashen. Guan Jin chased after him, pointing at Jiang Lin and cursing, "Jiang Lin, you have no conscience! I gave up other men with such good conditions to marry you, and now you want to divorce me for those bloodsuckers in your family and even want your salary back? You're dreaming!"

"Getting married was a matter of mutual consent. Don't act like you're the one who suffered a loss. What did your parents do with my salary and your salary? Do you think I don't know? Ha, you'd better think that just because I don't have any connections, you can bully me at will?"

You've probably forgotten, my current boss is my father's comrade-in-arms, my brother. Do you think I'd be afraid of you?

Jiang Lin ignored Guan Jin's powerless rants. He never expected the couple to end up like this. He only knew that Guan Jin's mother was a slightly powerful person, but her father was relatively upright. However, after investigating this time, he discovered that the reason Guan Jin's parents were forced to retire was because during the Cultural Revolution, they maliciously reported many colleagues and fabricated facts, which led to their being sent to the countryside. This time, after they were exonerated and returned, they deliberately retaliated by making them lose their jobs.

If it weren't for Guan Jin's father having some connections, things would probably have gone far beyond just retirement. Surprisingly, even then, they didn't know when to stop and actually asked Guan Jin for money to bribe people everywhere in an attempt to get back into their unit.

This time it wasn't just because Guan Jin crossed the line, but also because his old leader told him that during the Cultural Revolution, malicious whistleblowing without factual basis caused bad results, and the whistleblower would be investigated, and in serious cases, could be sentenced or demoted.

For his son's future and his own prospects, he had to make a decision. He had previously thought that if he could persuade Guan Jin to change her mind, considering the difficulties of being husband and wife and that she was the mother of two children, he would protect her. However, now it seems that he was too naive. Some people only see the bad in others and are like crows that never know how black they are.

Jiang Lin is swamped with legal troubles, while Jiang Hui and Han Ling in Yanjing are already preparing for school. Jiang Ruyu is under a lot of pressure, having to look after seven children all at once. She took a few days off to send Jiang Chuan and Jiang Zhou to the preschool, and also sent her youngest son there. She plans to have her father-in-law pick them up when it's time.

The two sets of twins have started school and are in the same school. They come home together after school. After a few days of adjustment, the children have gotten used to it and no longer cry as much as they did at the beginning.

Jiang Lin, a soldier, had just submitted his divorce application to the political commissar when he was stopped: "Jiang Lin, why do you want a divorce all of a sudden? Marriage is not a game. Besides, you have children, right? I remember your son is a twin, isn't he? Those two kids are so well-behaved, what can't be resolved?"

Jiang Lin sat down: "Political Commissar, who wouldn't want to live a good life if they could? But..." Jiang Lin recounted everything that had happened before and after the wedding, and the political commissar's face showed anger.

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this. You're already married, yet you only care about your family and prevent you from contacting them. Humph, I know about this, and I won't try to persuade you anymore. What else do you want to fight for? Who will raise the child?"

Jiang Lin wiped his face: "I want to take my salary. I don't want the rest of the dowry or the wedding red envelopes my family gave me. I want custody of both children. She needs to sign an agreement to sever ties with me. She won't be allowed to raise the children, and the children won't take care of her in the future."

"Okay, I understand. I will communicate with their supervisor."

Jiang Lin handed this matter over to his superiors to handle. Divorce was very rare these days, and military marriages were even more difficult to resolve. However, if the soldier was completely innocent, but the soldier's partner did something that harmed the soldier's interests, the organization would generally side with the soldier.

After all, soldiers live with their lives on the line. They can't risk their lives to protect their country only to find that they can't even protect their own interests.
