Chapter 569: Divorce

Liu Guifang threw down the brush she was using to clean her schoolbag and ran upstairs.

Then Zhou Jianmin's face turned ashen, and Wang Yumei looked furious; the couple were on the verge of exchanging blows.

Liu Guifang was startled. She went in and tried to ease the tension, "Yumei, what's wrong? Old Zhou just got back, why are you arguing again?"

Wang Yumei's perm was messy, but she didn't look like she had been beaten.

It sounds more like someone is yelling and throwing things around.

Zhou Jianmin looked at Wang Yumei with extreme anger, his tone filled with despair, "I can't live like this anymore. I'm going to report to the army right now, and we're getting a divorce."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yumei's expression became somewhat flustered, but her words remained as hard as stone: "You dare to divorce me? Who do you think you are? Divorce me? I've suffered so much for you all these years."

"I'm not good enough for you, okay? I've really had enough of this life."

After Zhou Jianming finished speaking, he slammed the door and left.

He walked straight past Liu Guifang, and Liu Guifang was startled by his imposing manner.

Judging from Zhou Jianmin's angry expression, it doesn't seem like he's faking it.

Seeing Zhou Jianmin leave, Wang Yumei bit her lip and angrily kicked a shard of glass at her feet.

"What's wrong with you two? Didn't I tell you to talk to them nicely? You started arguing again as soon as you got back." Liu Guifang looked at her with exasperation, her tone tinged with reproach.

Wang Yumei looked aggrieved and complained to Liu Guifang, "Sister-in-law, can you blame me for this? He came back with a long face and didn't even try to coax me. I said a few words to him and he started arguing with me."

"He just got back, can't you wait a while and have a proper chat with him?"

Wang Yumei stood there with her arms crossed, scoffing, "He's been back in his hometown for so many days and hasn't made a single phone call. I'm angry, and he can see that."

"What is this? Why is it all over the ground?" The red oil on the ground flowed to Liu Guifang's feet, and she quickly moved her feet to the side.

Wang Yumei replied, "He said it was chili sauce made by his mother, but I don't care for that stuff."

The two of them had a fight just now, and in a fit of anger, she smashed the chili sauce bottle.

The chili sauce was in a glass jar that had been used for canned food.

It will shatter if dropped on the ground.

Liu Guifang realized that Wang Yumei had smashed the glass bottle on the ground. She frowned and said speechlessly, "You've gone too far! This is a small token of your mother-in-law's affection. She brought it all the way here for you, and you just smashed it on the ground in front of her. Who can stand that?"

Liu Guifang clicked her tongue twice, "It's only because Company Commander Zhou grew up in the city, has good manners, and knows how to respect women. If it were my husband, Old Yang, he would have been hitting me with a broom by now."

Upon hearing Liu Guifang's words, Wang Yumei realized that she might have gone too far and lost control of her emotions just now.

But Zhou Jianmin came back with a stern face and didn't say a kind word. She spent the New Year alone and suffered grievances at her parents' home. He didn't say a word to comfort her. She also needed an outlet for her emotions.

Liu Guifang looked at her and continued, "The company commander proposed a divorce this week. You should reflect on yourself. Don't lose your happiness because of your willfulness. You're 30 years old. Although you city people are open-minded, think about it. A 30-year-old second-marriage woman with health problems, how good can your remarriage be?"

Wang Guifang was also exhausted and didn't want to persuade her anymore.

A spoiled young lady who was pampered by her parents since childhood, she is too willful and selfish in her actions.

She never treated her man like a human being.

She's thirty years old and never considers things from other people's perspectives; she only wants her man to revolve around her unconditionally.

No man could tolerate this.

They've been married for six years, and there were already some disagreements between them because they didn't have children, yet they still don't know how to calmly address the issues.

Wang Yumei lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Even if she recognizes her mistakes, she is always proud, and she cannot bring herself to admit them.

"You really should learn from Dr. Bai who lives next door. She's only 22 years old, and look how gentle and considerate she is to Deputy Battalion Commander Lu. She's not unreasonable or willful at all. In a marriage, you can't compete to see who's stronger or more capable. You have to understand and support each other. Why don't you understand this principle?"

She looked at Wang Yumei with disappointment and said in a worried tone, "I'm still washing clothes. You should think about it yourself."

After Liu Guifang finished speaking, she went downstairs to continue cleaning the children's schoolbags and shoes.

Bai Zhi was woken up and heard Liu Guifang's words of persuasion to Wang Yumei outside the room.

He spilled the chili sauce that his lover had brought back from his hometown on the ground in front of everyone.

This can no longer be described as willful.

It's absolutely chilling.

Bai Zhi couldn't sleep either, so she decided to go out early to buy some groceries.

She plans to buy a chicken and stew it, then bring some chicken soup to Ye Qingbai when she goes to the hospital tomorrow morning.

When she came downstairs, Wang Yumei's door was open, and she was cleaning up the chili sauce that had been spilled on the floor.

The smell was quite strong; she could smell it as she passed by.

She went to the market and specifically bought a big rooster.

I put it in the pot as soon as I got back.

Then I steamed rice.

That evening, as soon as Lu Ye entered his home, he smelled the rich aroma of chicken soup.

He sniffed the air and asked, "Honey, did you stew chicken?"

Bai Zhi, who was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, went to greet Lu Ye when she heard him return.

She looked at him with bright eyes and said, "I bought a big rooster. Let's treat ourselves to something nice. I'll also bring some chicken soup for my cousin tomorrow to help him recover."

"It seems I still benefited from Ye Qingbai's influence."

Lu Ye's tone carried a hint of jealousy, and Bai Zhi retorted coquettishly, "What are you saying? We're just having meat and bringing him some soup along the way."

He patted her head and chuckled, "I know, in my wife's heart I'm definitely number one."

"Hurry up and wash your hands before eating."

"Okay." Lu Ye felt the warmth of home at this moment, and looked at his lover who was cooking for him. His eyes were tender and passionate. "What time did you get back from the hospital? You've been working so hard and you still cook. I feel really bad about it. If you want to buy anything in the future, you can tell me in advance and I'll make time to buy it."

"I came back at noon. I had nothing to do, so I went out for a walk."

During their meal, Bai Zhi told Lu Ye about her conversation with Dean Liu at the hospital that day.
