"Do you think I don't know about the trouble your wife got into outside? I didn't tell you because I was considerate of your feelings and didn't want to embarrass you. And when you came back the other day, you must have had a fight with her, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come back alone?"

At this point, Zhou Xiulian's voice trembled, "Yunshan, tell me the truth, you have to marry her? Chen Jiaojiao is a woman who will only hold you back and can't help you at all!"

She said fiercely, "As long as you say you don't want to live with her anymore, I, your mother, will risk everything to help you get a divorce. You don't have to do anything, and I will take the brunt of the consequences for you. Even if you have to give up this job, I will still let you divorce that woman! I don't believe that my son, who is so outstanding, can't find a good woman!"

“Nonsense!”

"mom……"

Two voices sounded at the same time. Father Lu was concerned about his reputation. Besides, in this day and age, it was uncommon for people to get divorced. If his son got divorced, what would others say about him if it got out?

Lu Yunshan's voice was trembling and crying.

If he dared to file for divorce, within two days, his story would spread all over the island. By then, how would others view him? Would others still regard him as a man? His future would definitely be ruined.

Lu Yunshan felt regretful again, hating himself for telling Shen Jiaojiao about this matter. Now that she had the leverage over him, what else could he do?

Thinking of this, Lu Yunshan closed his eyes in pain. When he opened them again, the confusion in his eyes disappeared, and was replaced by guilt towards his mother.

His voice trembled, "Mom, I..."

Zhou Xiulian looked at him expectantly, as if as long as he gave the order, she would immediately rush to the door and chase Chen Jiaojiao out.

Lu Yunshan didn't dare to look her in the eye, and said, "I don't want to divorce her."

After saying this, he seemed to have all the strength drained away from him, and he no longer dared to look at his mother's face.

Zhou Xiulian was stunned when she heard his words. She knew her son well and could not tell how much he liked that woman, but he refused to divorce.

It would be fine if Shen Jiaojiao was willing to change her bad habits, but she had caused trouble for him time and time again. Why wouldn't she leave her silly son?

Father Lu's thoughts were completely different from Zhou Xiulian's. When he heard that his son didn't want to divorce, his tense expression instantly relaxed.

He had never heard of a divorce in this era. Even if there was one, he had only read about it in the newspapers. For a family like theirs, divorce was even more unacceptable.

Zhou Xiulian was thinking about her son, but wasn't she also thinking about Yunshan? They worked in the army, and once the news of their divorce spread, even if it was the woman who was wrong, her reputation would still be bad. By then, Yunshan's career might have come to an end.

Father Lu took a moment to persuade, "Yunshan, go back home. I will take care of your mother. Remember to bring your wife home. We are a family and we should always support each other. She will slowly correct her problems."

Lu Yunshan didn't dare to look at his mother's face, he quickly answered and left. He didn't notice his mother's gray face and slightly hunched body.

Why did her father's son have to protect that woman! Even though Shen Jiaojiao had caused so much trouble, he still refused to divorce her.

Zhou Xiulian swayed and was a little unsteady on her feet. Father Lu quickly stood up and supported her, helping her sit down on the sofa.

"Well, don't be too anxious. Let the children handle their own affairs."

Zhou Xiulian moved her lips twice, but she didn't even have the strength to refute him.

Shen Qingqing knew nothing about the Lu family's affairs. She was a busy person now. She had to go to work in the temporary translation department set up by the army every day, translating documents in the morning and teaching in the afternoon.

The students that the leader arranged for her last time have come to her one after another, and Shen Qingqing dare not slack off. She doesn't care, but these people are said to be selected from the team, all high school graduates, and are more talented in language learning.

Fearing that her level was not good enough, Shen Qingqing did not dare to slack off when she returned home every night. She would enter the space when Zhou Yuanzheng was not back and desperately absorb knowledge. Especially in the aspect of special languages, she used to learn only for translation, but now she was afraid of misleading the students.

I simply found all the relevant books from the library and studied them systematically by myself first.

In addition to her translation work, she also takes time out every week to go to the cafeteria to teach the chef how to cook.
