Chapter 179 A New Look



Fang Yan is the type of person who, if her abilities surpass those of the other party, will definitely settle scores on the spot.

"So many things happened after I returned to the army, why didn't you tell me?" Zhang Jizhou asked.

After saying that, he belatedly realized what he had said and blurted out, "Did you never think of telling me these things?"

"It's just...thing happened a bit...suddenly..."

Fang Yan really didn't intend to tell him these things.

Firstly, even if I tell him, he might not be able to help;

It only adds to our worries.

Secondly, her life as a single person in her previous life may have shaped her independent and self-reliant personality.

From beginning to end, she really never thought of telling Zhang Jizhou about this.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that her relationship with Zhang Jizhou is still unclear.

Even though she was using his wife's body.

But Fang Yan did not consider herself his wife.

In her opinion, Zhang Jizhou wasn't even a suitor, so why should she bother him?

Considering the relationship between this body and Zhang Jizhou, she didn't dare to speak so directly.

Although Zhang Jizhou has never been in a relationship, he's not mentally challenged. Even if he's never eaten pork, surely he's seen pigs run?

He belatedly realized the crux of the problem and asked in a low voice, "Are you still thinking about divorcing me?"

Well……

There's no time to think about this specifically.

But I'm also too busy to think about whether or not I should be with you.

Of course, we can't say it so directly.

Fang Yan considered for a moment before saying, "I've been too busy lately, I don't have any ideas."

Meanwhile, Zhang Jizhou lowered his voice.

However, these words still reached the ears of someone passing by outside the communications room.

Is Zhang Jizhou getting a divorce?

The man's eyes lit up, and a smile immediately spread across his face.

"Well, we got this phone from someone else's workplace thanks to Grandpa Wei. We can't talk for too long. Your uncle and the village chief probably have something to say to you too."

Fang Yan felt that the topic seemed to have gone a bit off track.

With phone bills so expensive these days, it's not appropriate to discuss this issue over the phone.

She quickly changed the subject.

At the same time, the microphone was handed to Zhang Zongde.

Little Fish chased after Qibei outside, and Fang Yan, worried, followed along.

Therefore, she did not hear what Zhang Zongde and Zhang Jizhou were saying.

Of course, these words could not be heard by Old Master Wei.

Just before Zhang Zongde was about to speak, the village chief, with great shrewdness, "lured" Old Master Wei aside to talk.

After everyone had left, Zhang Zongde began to speak, "The matter is basically clear now, it was you, B..."

He wanted to say "your dad," but as soon as the words left his mouth, he remembered that Zhang Jizhou was suspecting that Zhang Laowu might not be his biological father.

Zhang Zongde then changed his words, "Zhang Laowu and Fang Yan's cousin from her maternal family, the one named Fang Yaojin..."

Knowing that Fang Yan hadn't explained the details to Zhang Jizhou earlier, Zhang Zongde summarized the situation.

This allowed Zhang Jizhou to understand the whole story.

Zhang Jizhou's face turned ashen as he listened, especially when he heard that Fang Yaojin was planning to sell Fang Yan to three fugitives wanted for serious crimes. He was furious.

Although this matter was not arranged by Zhang Laowu, he did not believe that Zhang Laowu would not know about it.

He could overlook the fact that Zhang Laowu was cold to him when he was young;

You could also disregard it; all the allowances from the past ten years had been given to Zhang Laowu.

But how dare he be so vicious!

They actually wanted to sell Fang Yan to some remote mountain village.

Zhang Jizhou could not ignore this matter.

"So he's still at large?"

Zhang Jizhou didn't specify who it was, but Zhang Zongde knew he was talking about Zhang Laowu, so he nodded, "This time he was very cunning. He didn't directly participate in any of the actions that could lead to a conviction; it was all done by Fang Yaojin."

Even Zhang Jizhou had to look at this man, whom he had called "Dad" for over twenty years, with new respect.

Why did he used to think that Zhang Laowu was just an ordinary, greedy, and incompetent old rural man?

Even he had to admit that Zhang Laowu's cunning was beyond his reach.

To think that Zhang Laowu had such deep cunning.

Thinking back to what happened to his mother, Zhang Jizhou's eyes darkened. It seemed that he could no longer delay this matter.

But when will he be able to take a vacation?

While his mind was still calculating when he could make up for the lost vacation time, Zhang Zongde's voice came through again, noticeably lowered, "Third brother, with your current rank, your family can accompany you to the military, right?"

“We are qualified to have our families accompany us,” Zhang Jizhou said, temporarily suppressing his other thoughts. “However, our team doesn’t have any vacant houses right now.”

The elite squad was only recently established and did not yet have its own family housing.

Their family quarters were allocated from the neighboring Fifth Regiment, so housing is in very short supply.

Furthermore, the living conditions here are too harsh.

Besides the mountains, there were only barren mountains, and even water was scarce, let alone other supplies.

Zhang Jizhou didn't want Fang Yan to live here. He was thinking of moving up a rank himself and then applying to have his family accompany him to his new unit.

However, he didn't need to say these things to Zhang Zongde.

However, Zhang Zongde was never a gossipy person, so why would he suddenly bring this up?

"Then keep a close eye on it. Once someone vacates a house, see if you can apply for it quickly so your wife can bring the kids over."

“Uncle, is there anything else I don’t know?” Zhang Jizhou keenly noticed the problem.

Zhang Zongde remained as calm as ever, "What could be that you don't know? How can a family live apart year after year?"

If this continues, not only will your wife not recognize you, but even your son, Xiaoyuzai, will soon not recognize you.

"Uncle, if you don't want me to be thinking about things at home while I'm on a mission, please tell me everything."

Zhang Jizhou had Zhang Zongde firmly in control. Finally, he asked the question that Zhang Zongde was most worried about: "When you came back last time, did you and your wife have a fight and haven't made up yet?"

Despite his advanced age, Zhang Zongde still has a sharp eye.

He discovered that Fang Yan was not very dependent on Zhang Jizhou.

Whether in rural areas or in county towns, most women, once married, will immediately seek help from their husbands if anything happens.

Even when their husbands are not home, they will still talk to their husbands and seek comfort after the matter is resolved.

Could you take another look at Fang Yan?

Before the incident, I never thought of contacting her husband;

When the accident happened, I didn't think about contacting her husband;

After the incident, she never thought of looking for her husband.

The matter was resolved, but I still didn't think about contacting her husband.

Her independence and self-reliance made Zhang Zongde feel as if she had abandoned Zhang Jizhou.
