Indoors.

Shen Man was packing her things. She took out some of her clothes from the closet and stuffed them into her bag one by one.

When Lu Zhengguo came in, he happened to see this scene. He was silent for a moment and walked away.

"You go back next night, and I'll go with you."

Shen Man paused while packing her things, then returned to normal.

"No, it's not far away."

Lu Zhengguo's eyes deepened. "It may not be safe around here recently. I'd better take you back. I'll pick you up tomorrow after I divide the house and find a new house."

"It should be tomorrow night at the latest. It can be done in one day."

Seeing that Shen Man was unmoved, he paused and continued speaking.

"I'm going to look at a house tomorrow. I'll pick you up in the morning and we'll go look together."

In fact, he had considered the matter of dividing the family ever since he noticed the conflict between Shen Man and his family.

As for the house, he had quite a bit of savings, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to just buy one.

Coincidentally, there was a small courtyard in an alley near where Shen Man worked.

The owner of the house is someone he knew before. He will go and take a look tomorrow morning. As long as Shen Man thinks it is okay, he can book it.

Shen Man didn't even raise her head. "No, you decide today."

"I have no opinion."

Lu Zhengguo immediately noticed the alienation in the other party's words. He was not a fool and he could still understand the deeper meaning of some words.

It seems that Shen Man is still thinking about divorce, otherwise, she would not have no expectations for the home they will live in in the future.

Thinking back to that night when he heard Shen Man propose a divorce, he had to admit that he really didn't want to get a divorce.

As for why he didn't want to divorce, he didn't know, maybe it was because of this person, or maybe it was because of some other reasons.

But in short, he doesn't want to get divorced.

Lu Zhengguo thought for a moment and spoke again, "If nothing unexpected happens, we won't be able to live in the newly bought house for long. I will report to the army when I return, and it will probably be delivered soon, but we may have to wait a little longer to allocate the house."

Shen Man had already packed her things and raised her hand to interrupt the man.

"Wait, I haven't agreed to join the army yet. Now is not the time to talk about that. You should just deal with these problems at home as soon as possible."

She didn't want to stay in this house for even a minute longer.

If Lu Zhengguo had not forcefully proposed separation, she and he would have probably already started discussing divorce.

After saying this, Shen Man picked up the things she had just packed and was about to go out.

Lu Zhengguo followed her in big strides. He had made the same mistake once before, and it was enough. How could he leave her alone at this late hour?

What's more, there have been spies appearing in the county where they are located recently, and danger may occur at any time.

Two people, one in front and one behind, just came out of the room.

Then I saw Liu Aihong standing at the door of the station room, who was reluctant to leave.

Such a big person happened to be standing here. Shen Man didn't pay attention and almost bumped into him.

Fortunately, she stopped her feet in time and didn't bump into him, but she was still startled.

After Shen Man reacted, she bypassed Liu Aihong and went straight out of the Lu family's door without even glancing at the man who was chasing her.

Lu Zhengguo watched her leave mercilessly, his eyes darkened, and he was about to catch up with her.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Liu Aihong grabbed his arm, with red eyes, and begged bitterly.

"Brother Zhengguo, please take me to the guesthouse. It's dark in the middle of the night and I'm scared."

Lu Zhengguo paused and frowned slightly, "Aihong, the guesthouse is nearby. Just walk a few steps forward along the main road after exiting the compound. There won't be any danger."

"If something really happens, you can yell a few times, and the security department will definitely hear you, and it will alarm a lot of people."

"You are not in danger."'

After saying this, Lu Zhengguo shook off Liu Aihong's hand and chased after her without looking back.

Liu Aihong's face turned slightly pale, and she subconsciously wanted to follow.

At this moment, Lu Hongmei stood behind her without her knowing when, and strode forward to stop her.

"Wait, Sister Aihong, what are you doing? Are you trying to chase after my second brother?"

Liu Aihong stopped walking and forced a smile, "Hongmei, you misunderstood, I... I just plan to stay at the guesthouse."

Lu Hongmei squinted her eyes and looked her up and down. "Do you think I believe it?"

"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Hum, Liu Aihong, let me tell you, my second brother and my sister-in-law are a legitimate couple."

"If you dare to get close to my second brother and sow discord between him and his wife, don't blame me for writing a letter to the Revolutionary Committee to report you for trying to have an affair and destroy other people's families."

Her previous bad eyes were no less than this person's, so how could Liu Aihong's little thoughts be hidden from her?

Liu Aihong's body froze, and her eyes instantly turned red. "Hongmei, how can you say that to me? I...I'm really just scared, and I want Zhengguo to see me off."

Lu Hongmei sneered, "Afraid? You are a country bumpkin from the countryside, what are you afraid of? You people in the countryside sometimes have to go to work in the dark at night, are you afraid?"

"Oh, I don't believe it, Liu Aihong, you really have a lot of ideas. Let me tell you, my sister-in-law is beautiful, smart and talented. You, a country bumpkin, can't compare to her."

"You'd better not follow my second brother and second sister-in-law's ideas, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."

Liu Aihong's fingers unconsciously clenched her sleeves tightly, her body trembled slightly, and a huge feeling of humiliation surged over her head, almost drowning her.

But she still pretended to be calm.

"Hongmei, you really misunderstood me. That's not what I meant."

Misunderstanding or not, Lu Hongmei knew clearly in her heart that she despised such hypocritical country women the most. Someone like Liu Aihong was not even worthy of carrying her shoes.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Come on, I have my own eyes, I can see for myself, whatever you have in mind, our whole family knows, don't waste your thoughts."

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Lu Hongmei's mind. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes.

"You came all the way here, Autumn Wind, just to marry into the city."

"Why don't you try to hook up with my eldest brother? He's not bad either. Maybe if you marry him, our family will even find you a job."
