What mistake did he make and how did he offend his wife?

This was the most troublesome thing for him, because he had no way of explaining the reason for divorce proposed by Ren Rongzheng. If he said it, it would become ridiculous and no one would believe him.

However, because the reason for the divorce was too absurd, he couldn't say it, and Ren Rongzheng couldn't say it either, so he could only make up a reason.

"After this incident, Rong Zheng's inner thoughts changed. She felt that her personality was not compatible with mine, so it was mainly my fault.

I didn't handle this matter well enough and failed to protect her. Even before she went to meet Zhou Guisheng, some subtle actions hurt her and made her feel that I didn't love her and didn't care about her.

You also know that she had just given birth, and this kind of thing happened not long after. She was physically weak and mentally fragile. After being stimulated like this, she became particularly sensitive and started to have all sorts of wild thoughts.

So she was extremely determined to divorce me, and no matter how I tried to persuade her, she wouldn't change her mind. But I was very determined in my heart. I would not divorce her. I loved her very much, and I can swear on this with my military uniform.

So I beg you, Chief, if Rong Zheng comes to submit a divorce application to you and hopes to get your support, can you help me persuade him again? If you really can't persuade him, just oppose it.

I am a soldier, and the marriage law is still very powerful for me. As long as I don't agree to divorce, it will be difficult for her to divorce. If she wants to go through legal procedures, file for divorce in court, or sue me in a military court, then..."

"We're going to file for divorce in court? We're going to take you to a military court?!"

Zheng Hongjun found this statement particularly bizarre, and then he sighed: "Your wife really knows a lot. She can file for divorce, and she even knows to sue you in a military court?"

"Rong Zheng is a college student. She's educated, so of course she understands these things."

"If she really did that, do you know the impact it would have on you? It's not really a scandal or a mistake for a couple, but now they're planning to promote you.

You said you were sued by your wife at this time because of your marital problems, and the military region was in an uproar. Does that sound good? Will your superiors still approve your promotion?

Zhan Beiqin, don't be so self-righteous. There are many capable people in the military region. You are just waiting for an opportunity, and you just happened to wait for this opportunity. It is never the opportunity waiting for you.

You failed to get promoted this time, and someone else was promoted instead. It will be difficult for you to have a bright future in the future. You are still so young, are you satisfied with being a brigade commander?

Besides, being a brigade commander doesn't guarantee you'll be able to serve until old age. Just like Zhang Laifu, the former regimental commander, wasn't he demoted in the end?"

"Commander, I understand everything you said."

"If I understand you, I need to solve your family problems. A true man settles his family and governs the country. As the head of a military region, if you can't even take care of your own family, how can you lead the entire army? How can you be in charge of so many people?

Just because of this one thing, you will never be able to turn things around, so Zhan Beiqin, I don't care what method you use, whether you beg her or divorce her but stay home, or whether you save face by doing so, in short, don't let anything happen before you are promoted.

There will be a meeting in the army next month. Some old leaders will retire honorably when the time comes. I will mention your promotion to deputy division commander. Division Commander Liu is much older than you and he will retire in a few years. It will be easy for you to be promoted to the position when the time comes.

If you can't handle your family affairs before the military meeting next month, I won't mention promoting you at the meeting. Otherwise, if something happens to you after I mention it, wouldn't that be a slap in my face?

I still say the same thing, Zhan Beiqin, there are many capable people in the army. If you miss this opportunity, no one can say where the next good opportunity will be, or whether there will be another good opportunity.

On the contrary, as I just said, as long as you are successfully promoted to deputy division commander, you will be promoted to the official position in a natural way. You should not live in the military dormitory. You should go home, close the door with your wife, and properly resolve your relationship with her!"

"Yes, Chief."

Zhan Beiqin watched Zheng Hongjun leave and felt his face burning at the moment. He had lived two lives and had always been arrogant, but he had suffered enough setbacks recently.

Zheng Hongjun had already ordered him not to live in the military dormitory, so he had no choice but to leave the military district. However, it was already very late, and he had also told Ren Rongzheng that he would live in the military dormitory for the next two days and would not go home.

What should he say when he goes back home in the middle of the night?

The distance from the military area to the military family compound was very short, but Zhan Beiqin walked slowly for half an hour before finally reaching the outside of his own yard.

After struggling for a long time, I still didn't have the courage to knock on the door. Then I hesitated for a long time, but all the lights in the room and the yard were turned off, and the door was locked from the inside, so I had no chance.

Zhan Beiqin was standing at the doorstep. He couldn't go home, and he couldn't live in the military dormitory. He was still in uniform, so he couldn't go out and find a hotel. Otherwise, it would damage the image of a soldier and violate discipline, so...

There was nothing he could do. It was his own fault and it was also a punishment for him. He squatted down at the door of his house. Fortunately, everyone else in the military compound was asleep at that time, and no one went out, let alone saw him.

He could only sleep and wake up at the door of his house all night. The soldiers got up very early. At dawn, he heard noises coming from the military compound and Zhan Beiqin quickly stood up.

Then he would pretend to do Tai Chi exercises at his doorstep, and the soldiers and their families passing by would respectfully greet him, "Good morning, Brigade Commander Zhan."

"morning."

Zhan Beiqin could only pretend to be nonchalant and replied. It was really embarrassing. He felt that his life had never been so embarrassing.

Just then, the sound of children crying was heard coming from the house. The crying of three children was loud as one could imagine. Zhan Beiqin became anxious when he heard the children crying.

He was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but his hand stopped again. If he knocked on the door now, wouldn't it let them all know that he had been standing at the door all night last night?

"Beiqin?"

Just as he was struggling, the door was suddenly opened from the inside. The person who opened the door was Zhan Tianzhu. He was very surprised to see him standing at the door.

"Why are you back so early?"

After being discovered, Zhan Beiqin gave an awkward smile and could only lie, "I didn't sleep well in the military dormitory yesterday. I kept thinking I could hear the baby crying, so I couldn't help but come back to check."

"Then hurry up and come in." Zhan Tianzhu pulled Zhan Beiqin over and whispered in his ear, "Please persuade your wife not to get a divorce. If she really divorces you and takes the three children away, wouldn't it be a waste of time for me to have a grandson that I've been looking forward to for most of my life?"
