Shen Man walked over and said, "Let's go, the sooner we go, the sooner we'll be back."
Lu Zhengguo looked at her and said, "Don't worry, since I have promised you, I will not regret it. The divorce application has been submitted, and I will definitely complete what I need to do today."
"But before that, let's go to the state-owned hotel to have a meal. This is my formal apology for what I said to you before and for my misunderstanding of you."
Looking back now, his behavior was indeed too much for a woman.
If their relationship hadn't started as a mistake, perhaps they would have a child by now.
Shen Man took out the 100 yuan she had prepared today and handed it to Lu Zhengguo, "You gave me all my passbooks and a bicycle, so you don't need to apologize."
She looked at the passbook and saw about 1500 yuan in it, which was definitely a huge sum of money in this day and age.
"This hundred dollars is the money I used to buy that watch. Since we're getting a divorce, it's better to settle some things clearly."
Lu Zhengguo didn't reach out to take it. He frowned slightly and said, "It's unreasonable to take back something you've given away, and that watch is not worth a hundred dollars."
"I know, but you have to accept this money. You need a ticket to buy a watch, and the extra money is considered as the ticket fee."
Shen Man forcefully stuffed the money into his hand.
After four years of marriage, she has done everything that a wife should do, and has endured the anger of the Lu family for so many years.
She felt comfortable with the passbook and the bicycle.
As for this watch, the meaning of the watch is not ordinary, and we still need to distinguish it clearly.
Lu Zhengguo was silent for a moment, and finally had no choice but to accept the money.
"Okay, I'll take it, but before we go get the divorce certificate, you have to accompany me to the state-owned hotel for a meal."
These days, her face has become thinner, less gorgeous and charming than before, and more cool and aloof. The mixture of these two different temperaments makes her even more attractive.
Shen Man thought about it and realized that it was still early and she hadn't eaten yet.
"good."
Soon, the two arrived at a nearby state-owned hotel.
There are quite a few dishes written on the small blackboard.
Lu Zhengguo looked at Shen Man, "You order first."
Shen Man glanced at the blackboard and ordered a few dishes at random, "Stir-fried vegetables with garlic, fish with vinegar, a plate of shredded bean, and two bowls of rice."
Lu Zhengguo said to the waiter, "Comrade, please add another portion of braised pork and a plate of stir-fried pork."
Shen Man said, "It's just the two of us. It's a waste to order too much."
"It's okay, I can finish it."
There was a meal on the table, with three meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes.
Almost all of them were Shen Man's favorite foods. She had noticed this from the beginning and would not say anything to stop her.
The emotions that Lu Zhengguo had hidden in the past seemed to gradually emerge at this moment.
How could Shen Man not notice it? She just didn't want to cause trouble when getting a divorce.
The subsequent divorce process went very smoothly, and not long after the meal, the marriage came to an end.
After coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Shen Manhun felt relaxed and her mood improved a little.
Lu Zhengguo's eyes were always on her. When he saw her smile, he felt happy for her but also sad for himself.
However, the end is the beginning, and he will not give up.
Let her take a break first.
…
After the two separated, Shen Man went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy herself some food to celebrate the complete success of the divorce.
In fact, she loves to eat toffee candies and all kinds of cakes, and she almost always carries them with her. Gu Xiaobei's love for toffee candies is probably inherited from her.
After returning home, only Aunt Yu and Gu Xiaobei were standing opposite. Gu Qinglin had gone out, and I heard that he was going out to meet someone.
For some reason, when Shen Man heard this, she actually thought of Lu Zhengguo.
However, she quickly threw this idea out of her mind. Although these two were soldiers, there were so many soldiers in the world. If they wanted to know each other, Gu Qinglin would probably have known about himself a long time ago.
Little did they know.
Gu Qinglin actually knew Lu Zhengguo.
They had fought side by side in previous missions.
After accidentally seeing Lu Zhengguo in Jiping County, Gu Qinglin got his home address through his comrades who had transferred to the Public Security Bureau.
As he happened to be free today, Gu Qinglin brought some fruits and gifts and went directly to visit the Lu family.
But he didn't know that the other party had already split up.
Therefore, when I arrived at Lu's house, I only saw Lu's father and mother, Lu Zhengbing and his wife, and Liu Aihong.
After hearing the purpose of his visit, the Lu family entertained him warmly. They still did not tell him about the division of the family, but they told Gu Qinglin a lot of things.
"Comrade Gu, you and Zhengguo are comrades-in-arms. You have a lot of contact with each other. You should persuade him that a pretty girl cannot be eaten, especially a girl with a watery temperament."
"You don't know, our Zhengguo is good in everything except responsibility. Even if his wife does all kinds of things, he still doesn't want to divorce."
"Comrade Xiao Gu, if you have time, persuade him to get a divorce sooner rather than later. There are no such things as bad women."
Before Gu Qinglin sat down and had a sip of tea, Lu's mother had already chattered on for a long time. Although Lu's father didn't say anything, his expression clearly showed his approval.
Because of Shen Man, their son left them and now he is unwilling to come back and has even separated from his family.
This is simply too unfilial.
Zhang Fengxia said from the side, "That's right. Zheng Guoxian dared to beat his own brother for that woman. He didn't even let his own sister-in-law go. Comrade Gu, as his comrade-in-arms, you must persuade him not to quarrel with his family for a woman."
Gu Qinglin frowned slightly. Although he didn't believe what the Lu family said, he couldn't help feeling strange.
Lu Zhengguo had a wife. He had heard about her when he was in the army.
He said that the woman had drugged him to get into bed, and the two of them got together. He didn't like her, and even avoided talking about his wife whenever she was mentioned.
But if you don't like it so much, why don't you get a divorce?
Is it really just because of a sense of responsibility?
But from what the Lu family said today, he discovered that maybe the other party was not just doing this out of responsibility.
Seeing that Gu Qinglin didn't say anything, Zhang Fengxia thought he didn't believe it, so she pulled Lu Zhengbing over.
"Comrade Gu, it is absolutely true that Zhengguo beat his brother for his wife. If you don't believe me, ask him if it was Lu Zhengguo who beat him?"
Before Gu Qinglin could say anything, Lu Zhengbing had already started talking about Lu Zhengguo and the evil things he had done, such as beating him for a woman. The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he even asked.
"Comrade Gu, what do you think of Lu Zhengguo? He is still worthy of being a soldier, considering how he treats us relatives? If we report this to the army, will he still be punished?"
