On August 20th, Chen Hong's parents had also had enough fun and declined Chen Hong and her sister's offer to stay. They took their two reluctant granddaughters and their son back to Jinan.

On the train, the smile on Chen Hong's mother's face gradually disappeared, and she said to Chen Hong's father with concern, "Old Chen, I feel like Xiao Yun is troubled."

Do you think the couple had a fight? We know Zhou Yi is always busy, and Xiao Hong has been running around taking care of everything, making sure everything is arranged perfectly for us.

Our in-laws even came to visit us and treated us to a meal. It seems they get along quite well with the matchmaker and her daughter.

I'm relieved about Xiaohong's situation!

But Du Shi, that kid, we've been in Beijing for over ten days this time, and he hasn't even shown his face.

Didn't his unit say they weren't busy? Do they have a problem with us?

Chen Hong's father comforted his wife, "What are you thinking? The Beijing Olympics are such a big deal!"

He's not usually busy, so how could he not be busy lately? Didn't you see? Not to mention the troops stationed in Beijing, even ordinary citizens of Beijing are taking to the streets to volunteer.

He didn't show up; he must be busy!

We came at an inopportune time; they were both very busy, and we didn't get to see either of their sons-in-law.

But it's okay, our two daughters and granddaughters have always been with us, haven't they?

Don't be ungrateful. It's fortunate that Xiaohong doesn't work, otherwise she wouldn't have time to take care of us.

Chen Yi also advised, "Mom, don't overthink it. Xiaoyun and her husband are doing fine. They're both at work and have no choice but to go."

Didn't Xiaoyun tell you? If she didn't have a good relationship with her boss, she wouldn't have been able to get time off to spend several days with us.

Suppressing their worries, Chen Hong's parents returned to Jinan with heavy hearts.

After seeing off her parents and relatives, Chen Hong became even busier. She washed the bed sheets and quilt covers in the two bedrooms in the east wing and carefully cleaned the courtyard house.

I was busy all day before I finally finished the housework.

In the evening, Xiaoyun took her child home from get off work. After dinner, Chen Hong sent Yu Yang to play with Nini in the west wing living room, and then called Xiaoyun over to ask her questions.

"Xiaoyun, tell me the truth, what's going on between you and Du Shi? Did you have a conflict or a fight?"

Xiaoyun knew she couldn't hide it from her sister, so she had no choice but to tell her the truth: "Sister, Du Shi and I had a fight. I don't want to be with him anymore. I want to divorce him."

He disagreed, so we separated and are currently in a cold war!

Upon hearing this, Chen Hong became interested. "Great! My sister has finally stood up for herself and taken the initiative to file for divorce!"

"Tell me, why did you argue, and why are you talking about divorce? You need to understand that this is a military marriage. Without a legitimate reason, Du Shi won't agree, and you won't be able to get a divorce."

Xiaoyun listened to her sister speak, but kept her head down and didn't say anything, while tears streamed down her face.

Chen Hong got angry when she saw her like this, "Tell me, what's going on?"

If Du Shi has truly committed an unforgivable mistake, we'll work together to find a way to get this divorce done.

Xiaoyun sobbed for a while before saying to Chen Hong, "Sister, I suspect Du Shi is having an affair, but I have no proof, and he won't admit it when I ask him."

We used to argue and have cold wars all the time, all because he gave his family money without any limits.

In the past two years, thanks to the income from the travel company and the house rental, we each spend our own money and neither of us cares about the other's money, which has reduced the conflicts.

But now he's increasingly away from home, often not returning for one or two months at a time. At first, I thought he was just busy and didn't think much of it.

A while ago, his sister called me to borrow money. We argued for a bit, and she let it slip that her brother was seeing someone else.

I suddenly realized what was happening, but when I asked her again, she changed her story and stubbornly refused to admit it.

Chen Hong thought about it for a long time and felt that this matter was not easy to handle. Military marriages are protected by law, there is no evidence of Du Shi's infidelity, and Du Shi is stubbornly refusing to divorce. If this continues, she can only drag it out for now.

The two sisters discussed it and decided that the most urgent thing now was to find evidence of Du Shi's infidelity and find out which woman he was having an affair with.

There's no rush for anything else. Anyway, the couple's discord has been going on for a while. It's perfect timing since they're in a cold war, and Xiaoyun can stay in the courtyard house in Houhai with the child.

As for Du Shi, even if a fox hides itself deep, it will eventually show its tail.

Geese leave their calls as they fly by, and the wind leaves its mark as it passes. If he has done anything disgusting, he will eventually be exposed.

Chen Hong firmly believes that as long as she is determined to investigate, she will definitely be able to find evidence of Du Shi's infidelity.

Du Shi, oh Du Shi, I'll never let you get away unscathed in this lifetime, leaving your little sister Xiao Yun heartbroken for half her life.

Xiaoyun took the child back to her room to sleep. She slept very soundly tonight. Her sister came and revealed a secret she had kept buried deep in her heart. Xiaoyun finally felt relieved.

Chen Hong didn't sleep much that night. She worked half the night in the space and was so tired that she lay in bed with her eyes open, trying to think of a solution.

She's not familiar with Beijing, so shouldn't she ask around to see if there are any reliable private detective agencies?

If so, just spend some money to hire someone to secretly investigate Du Shi. Anything that can be done with money is no big deal!

However, considering that Du Shi is still an active-duty soldier, Chen Hong was undecided.

I felt we couldn't act rashly; this was Kyoto, after all, and we couldn't afford to make a big fuss about military matters.

Perhaps we should wait until Zhou Yi returns and ask for his opinion. He's also a soldier; I wonder if he has any good ideas about this.

Having made up her mind, Chen Hong finally fell into a deep sleep.

In the days leading up to the start of the school term, Zhou Rui visited Yu Yang every day. Sometimes he would take him out to play with his friends, and sometimes he would help Chen Hong tend the vegetable garden in the courtyard.
