Unfortunately, Zhang Liwen had just received her marriage certificate, which is why she wasn't considering married men.

The reason is that the song and dance troupe has to travel to other places to perform all year round, and it would be much more troublesome if they had families, so they simply wanted unmarried women.

"Commander, this won't affect me. My husband works in the regiment, and he understands my work."

Furthermore, we've discussed and decided not to have children.

"real?"

"real."

Zhang Liwen nodded firmly, determined not to miss this opportunity.

Chu Kening felt that staying in the cultural troupe was fine, as it would be inconvenient for her to bring her daughter to the song and dance troupe.

So I didn't think about it and was preparing for the New Year with Ye Zhaozhao and the others.

This year she is spending the Lunar New Year with her daughter, and she wants to enjoy it. Next year will be a new beginning.

Before the Lunar New Year, Huang Jin was going to marry Zhang Liwen, because they both worked in the performing arts troupe.

So the wedding was held in the military canteen, but everything was kept simple.

"Why hasn't the bride arrived yet?"

Because of what happened with Ling Zhihui last time, everyone gets extremely anxious as soon as it gets late, and Zhong Lian is also anxious.

Could it be that Zhang Liwen has changed her mind and is no longer willing to marry her son?

She asked Brigade Commander Huang to reassure the guests while she went to check on things. More than an hour later...

Zhang Liwen finally appeared, with Zhong Lian following behind her, her expression not very good.

Seeing this, people couldn't help but gossip behind their backs, wondering what had happened and why Zhong Lian looked so long on such a joyous day.

Even if Zhong Lian wanted to keep it a secret, there were still relatives on the bride's side. As a result, some of them who knew the truth revealed that it was when Huang Jin went to pick up the bride.

Zhang Liwen's mother stopped her from leaving, saying she wanted to add another thousand yuan to the bride price.

Otherwise, Zhang Liwen wouldn't go back with him, regarding Zhang Liwen's mother's actions.

The relatives also disapproved, saying, "How can this be? Why didn't you say so earlier if you wanted more dowry?"

They were just waiting to say it when they got married, otherwise the marriage would fall through.

With so many people waiting, Zhong Lian had no choice but to give the money for her son's sake.

The most infuriating thing is that her family gave Zhang Liwen nearly three thousand yuan as a bride price.

The Zhang family didn't even give a decent dowry, and Zhang Liwen's mother had already discussed the matter of asking for a bride price with her.

Zhang Liwen didn't object, since Zhong Lian had money anyway.

Why not ask for more? The wedding was about to end, and Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua headed back.

I ran into Huang Dan on the way to the cafeteria; she seemed completely out of her mind.

Ye Zhaozhao knew that Ling Zhihui would probably kick her out soon, seeing Huang Dan like this.

Sun Xiuhua felt quite uncomfortable, after all, it was Zhong Lian who was despicable, and she also thought about Zhang Liwen's personality.

“If Zhong Lian’s son marries Zhang Liwen, I’m afraid the two of them will have a lot of trouble in the future.”

Ye Zhaozhao agreed with Sun Xiuhua's statement. She hadn't eaten enough at the cafeteria and planned to go home and make dumplings.

Gu Yunduan has been gone for several days now, and I don't know how the investigation is going.

In order to address the issue of single men in the military region, the region decided to hold a social event.

This social gathering was organized by Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua, and the participants were all female soldiers in the arts and cultural troupe.

Chu Kening refused, thinking that this kind of social gathering was not suitable for her.

Sun Xiuhua noticed that after her divorce, she wanted to stay at least three meters away from men.

"Ke Ning, even though you don't plan to remarry, you should still chat with other people."

Don't worry, these are all comrades from the military region.

After hearing what Sun Xiuhua said, Chu Kening thought about it and had no choice but to agree.

On the day of the social gathering, Chu Kening arrived on time, intending to find a corner to sit down.

Unexpectedly, someone came over and greeted her.

As more and more people gathered, Chu Kening realized that these people were all people who had seen her perform at the party.

Chu Kening was surprised by her popularity and was a little flustered for a moment.

It was only after Sun Xiuhua came over and led her aside that her embarrassment was eased.

"So, wasn't it the right decision of me to send you?"

Chu Kening nodded. She wasn't happy that so many people came to talk to her.

It's not that she's sad, but that so many people like her performances and that she feels so good to be recognized.

At the social gathering, everyone was there to find a partner, and those who hit it off immediately made plans to go out together next time.

Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua didn't interfere; they just stood aside and watched.

After the get-together, all three of them were exhausted. As soon as they returned to their residential compound, they saw the head of the cultural troupe and several people carrying Zhang Liwen.

She bled a lot.

What happened?

Sun Xiuhua was startled. The troupe leader said that Zhang Liwen had been pushed down and injured her leg, so he asked Ye Zhaozhao to come and take a look. Ye Zhaozhao first asked them to carry the person into the house.

Then they stopped the bleeding and bandaged her up. She didn't leave until everything was done. The regimental commander looked very anxious.

This person got into trouble while in their performing arts troupe. If anything bad happens to them, the troupe leader will be held responsible.

"Comrade Ye, how is Comrade Zhang?"

"The wound was deep, but I've already treated it. Although it won't affect my daily life, I won't be able to perform on stage anymore."

After hearing Ye Zhaozhao's words, the regimental commander had not expected things to turn out this way.

Then he explained why Zhang Liwen had fallen; it turned out that it happened when Zhong Lian went to the performing arts troupe.

I accidentally learned that Zhang Liwen said she wanted to join a song and dance troupe and didn't want to have children.

She's been longing to have a grandson, and now she knows about this.

Naturally, he immediately went to settle accounts with Zhang Liwen, and the two argued.

Zhang Liwen was pushed down and fell against the glass window, where the glass cut her leg.

Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua exchanged a glance; this Zhong Lian really knew how to cause trouble.
