Chapter 599: Let Lu Ye's wife heal you
Political Commissar Zhang said, "There's a doctor right next door."
Upon hearing this, Instructor Yang and Liu Guifang were both suspicious, while Zhou Jianmin and Wang Yumei were still caught off guard.
Zhou Jianmin still resisted the topic. "Political Commissar, I'm not sick. I don't need any doctors, no matter where they are."
"Whether you're sick or not, just have someone take a look at you. Why are you being so stubborn? Don't avoid seeking medical help." Political Commissar Zhang insisted that Zhou Jianmin undergo an examination.
"No, Political Commissar, you..."
Zhou Jianmin felt his face burning and was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground.
These people insist on forcing him to undergo physical examinations, and they're even checking for those kinds of problems. How can he possibly save face?
Doesn't he know if he has any problems in that area? He's strong and healthy, and his function is excellent.
"Alright, listen to me, let Lu Ye's wife take a look at you."
"What?" Zhou Jianming was instantly furious upon hearing this. The doctor that Political Commissar Zhang had mentioned earlier was Lu Ye's wife.
That girl who looks like she's just turned 18, are you kidding me?
He's a grown man in his early thirties, and he's asking a young girl who's just turned 18 to diagnose his problems in this area? Isn't that ridiculous?
Even if he were sick, he shouldn't be treated by a young girl.
He protested coldly, "Political Commissar, I'm not sick. Let's not rush into anything without proper diagnosis, okay?"
"Why won't you go to the hospital for a checkup, and why won't you let a doctor treat you? What are you so guilty about?"
Zhou Jianmin's attitude made Political Commissar Zhang even more convinced of his idea of sending him to conduct the inspection.
"A real man should be open and honest, not shy and concerned about saving face. Is your family more important or your reputation?"
Political Commissar Zhang looked at the couple and said earnestly, "We've been working hard all day. Do you think we want to meddle in your family's mess? How many years have you two been having these family conflicts? Are you afraid people will laugh at you?"
“Xiao Wang has been actively seeking treatment, and I heard she even went to the city hospital to see a specialist recently. Since she doesn’t seem to have any major problems, you should also get a full checkup to see what the cause is. The two of you should take good care of yourselves. You’re both in your early thirties, and having a child these days is considered late. Don’t delay any longer. If this family falls apart, it won’t be good for either of you.”
Wang Yumei seized the opportunity to complain to Zhang Zhengwei, "He said he would rather get a divorce than go to the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Zhang spoke sternly, "So tough? Then get a divorce. Let Xiao Wang remarry. You'll be alone for the rest of your life, and your parents will have to worry about you."
After Political Commissar Zhang said this, Zhou Jianmin lowered his head and remained silent.
Does he really want a divorce? Yes, he has.
When the couple was arguing and fighting like cats and dogs, he did consider getting a divorce. This time, he even wrote up a divorce report, but Instructor Yang scolded him back.
But then Political Commissar Zhang mentioned his parents, which made him hesitate again. His parents had worked so hard to raise him from a small county town.
Now that her elderly mother is in poor health, her only wish is to hold her grandson as soon as possible.
He was unfilial and failed to fulfill his father's wishes, but now even this family is falling apart.
If the elderly knew, they would be even more worried and disappointed.
For people in their 30s these days, remarriage might not be so easy.
His relationship with Wang Yumei was always chaotic, and he didn't know if he could get along with anyone else.
Of course, putting aside all these external factors, he and Wang Yumei had been married for six years, and they did have feelings for each other.
Families may break apart because of the issue of having children, and there will always be regrets and reluctance.
Zhou Jianmin finally compromised, saying, "I'll find some time to go to the hospital for a checkup."
His attitude softened, and Political Commissar Zhang simply suggested, "Why don't you go to Lu Ye's house later and let Dr. Xiao Bai take a look at you? Dr. Xiao Bai's medical skills are superb. My Xiao Wei is treated by him. Now he has been invited to work as a doctor in the military hospital. He is no worse than the experts in big hospitals. It will save you the trouble of going to the hospital."
Mentioning Bai Zhi, Liu Guifang chimed in, "Yes, Xiao Bai's medical skills are superb. She can cure any disease. She learned traditional Chinese medicine from her maternal grandfather. That time when Xiao Wei had a seizure in the yard, Xiao Bai woke him up with just two silver needles. Now she can be invited by the hospital to treat patients, which shows how capable she is."
No matter how much Political Commissar Zhang and Liu Guifang tried to persuade him, Zhou Jianmin remained unmoved.
"Never mind, I'll go to the hospital for a checkup."
He, a grown man, couldn't bring himself to ask Lu Ye's young wife to treat him.
If they're not sick, that's fine. But if she really diagnoses something wrong by taking their pulse, the whole family compound will know by tonight.
Wang Yumei also didn't believe in Bai Zhi's medical skills and supported Zhou Jianmin going to the hospital.
Political Commissar Zhang gave the order directly: "Alright, you said it yourself. Why don't you take a day off tomorrow and go to the hospital?"
Zhou Jianmin made an excuse, saying, "I've been very busy these past few days, I don't have time. Let's talk about it when I have time."
Upon hearing Zhou Jianmin's words, Wang Yumei, his partner, knew that he didn't genuinely want to go to the hospital for a checkup. Before Political Commissar Zhang and the others left, she pressed her advantage, saying, "Look at Political Commissar Zhang, he's making excuses again."
"I'll make the decision, you go tomorrow."
"A higher rank can crush you," Political Commissar Zhang said sternly, his attitude leaving no room for argument, leaving Zhou Jianmin with no choice but to compromise.
Political Commissar Zhang said to them with a dark face, "Alright, you two stop arguing. You've been married for a long time. If you have a problem, sit down and resolve it calmly. Don't make a scene and attract the attention of the neighbors. This is a military family compound, not a back alley. Be mindful of your image."
After Zhang Zhenwei's lecture, Wang Yumei lowered her head and weakly replied, "Political Commissar, I understand."
Indeed, she lost her temper, kicked over the stool, and got angry, which then attracted the attention of the neighbors.
"We're leaving now. We'll wait for your news tomorrow."
Political Commissar Zhang, Instructor Yang, and Liu Guifang came out of Zhou Jianmin's house and glanced at the tightly closed door of Lu Ye's house next door.
You have to admire this young couple; with such a commotion outside, they didn't even come out to see what was going on.
In fact, Lu Ye and Bai Zhi really didn't want to get involved in this mess. As neighbors, the couple next door had argued two or three times this month alone since Bai Zhi joined the army, which bothered them a lot.
They had no interest in opening the door and running over to listen to gossip.
As for the little things between the two of them, they're always yelling and shouting; you don't even need to listen to what's going on to know what's going on.
Besides, neither of them has the talent to mediate disputes. Wang Yumei often dislikes them, and if they go over there, they will definitely think they are there to make a fool of themselves and turn their anger towards them. Wouldn't it be better for them to stay on the sofa and watch TV?
On the second day, after finishing his work in the morning, Lu Ye went to the county town with Bai Zhi in the afternoon to sign a contract and reserve a shop.
Before leaving in the morning, he specifically asked Bai Zhi to pick him up from the military base by motorcycle around noon.
He changed into civilian clothes and got on his wife's motorcycle.
When the soldiers who had just finished training saw Deputy Battalion Commander Lu get on his beautiful wife's motorcycle, some of the bolder soldiers couldn't help but whistle, disregarding their formation.
Lu Ye gave them a warning look.
Startled, they quickly looked ahead and marched back to camp.
