"You just came back, so you might not know yet." Sister Luo suddenly lowered her voice and told Qin Wan mysteriously, "Sister Zhou wants to divorce Captain Zhou!"
"What's wrong? Didn't they resolve their quarrel? Why has it escalated again? It can't be that serious!" Qin Wan became alert and asked several questions in a row.
She knew Mrs. Zhou, she was not the kind of woman who would hold on to other people's faults!
"Oh, you still remember, the last time we had a fight, Captain Zhou said he wanted to go home and see what was going on." Sister Luo began to unravel the mystery.
"Remember, what happened? Did you go back? What happened?" Qin Wan asked several questions in a row.
Sister Luo smiled and began to tell the story.
When Captain Zhou returned to his hometown, he happened to see their family preparing to have dinner.
When Captain Zhou took a look, he saw a few steamed buns made of a mixture of corn and sorghum, a plate of fried potatoes with bacon, a bowl of egg custard, and a bowl of corn porridge for each person on the table.
Although it wasn't particularly delicious, it was still better than the food at his house. Thinking of his wife always splitting every penny, he felt a little sad.
When the parents saw their son coming back, they were very happy and quickly asked him to sit down and eat.
His sister-in-law was also very enthusiastic. She quickly got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl, scooped a bowl of rice, and placed it in front of Captain Zhou.
Captain Zhou also looked around while eating and saw that although his nephew and sister-in-law were wearing old clothes, they were clean and not patched at all.
Looking at his nephew again, he was tall and strong, with a rosy complexion, not at all like a sickly child. He knew that he had been deceived by his sister-in-law all these years.
But he did not say anything. He wanted to verify it again to make sure that the child was not just energetic on the surface but actually weak. He did not want to misjudge anyone.
After dinner, Zhou's parents asked their son:
"Ermin, why did you come home suddenly? What happened?"
Captain Zhou's brother is called Damin, and his name is Ermin.
Captain Zhou lied:
"I was on a mission and happened to pass by here, so I came back to take a look."
Because everyone had to go to work, Captain Zhou stayed at home to take care of his nephew.
When he was playing with his nephew, he asked casually:
"Little Stone, are you afraid of injections?"
Shi Tou is the name of his nephew.
"I'm afraid. The injection hurts." Little Stone opened his eyes wide and answered seriously.
"Do you take injections often?" Captain Zhou asked casually.
"No, my mother said I'm as strong as an ox. She's afraid of me even when I catch a cold. I'm the healthiest kid in our village."
After hearing his nephew's answer, what else did he not understand? It seemed that he had really been deceived by his sister-in-law.
He hit his head in regret, having already made a decision in his heart.
After work in the evening, Captain Zhou found his parents and told them what his sister-in-law had done. Old Master Zhou pondered for a long time and said:
"My child, your eldest brother has passed away. It's not easy for your eldest sister-in-law to raise a child. Can you take care of both wives? You only need to come back once or twice a year. Your sister-in-law won't mind."
Captain Zhou was shocked. He didn't know why his father had such an idea. Wasn't he trying to make him make a mistake? He quickly threatened the old man:
"Dad, what are you trying to do? If people knew about this, not only would our family be laughed at, but I would also be in danger of losing my life."
Mr. Zhou didn't care. He said:
"If we don't tell anyone, no one will know. This way, someone will take care of you in the army, and at home, someone will take care of us on your behalf. It's the best of both worlds, how great!"
His mother also said, "Your eldest sister-in-law originally liked you, but you looked down on her, so she married your eldest brother. Now that your eldest brother is gone, what's wrong with you helping to take care of her? It's not like she didn't want to."
Captain Zhou growled angrily at his parents, "You are trying to kill me!" Then he turned and walked out.
His mother stopped him and cried,
"Ermin, it's not that your parents insist on you shouldering two wives. We really can't bear to part with Shitou. Your sister-in-law said that if you don't agree, she will keep pestering you to send her money and make you two live in unrest for the rest of your lives."
"Then I won't send him money. What can he do to me?" Captain Zhou said angrily.
"My child, she can't do anything to you, but she can do anything to Shitou! She can do anything to your parents! She said that if you don't send money, she will torture Shitou and won't let us see him. Ermin, you are a filial child, so will you agree?"
"Mom and Dad, if she dares to torture Little Stone, tell me and I'll sue her."
Captain Zhou broke free from his mother's obstruction and continued walking towards the door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, his sister-in-law rushed over, hugged him, and begged him to agree. She said:
"Ermin, I don't ask for anything. All I need is for you to send me ten dollars a month so I can support the child."
It turned out that his sister-in-law had been listening outside the door.
Captain Zhou refused to agree to anything, broke away from his sister-in-law, and ran to the county town overnight.
After hearing what Sister Luo said, Qin Wan showed a surprised expression on her face. She didn't expect that Captain Zhou's parents would have such a method of reconciliation.
"Choosing two rooms at the same time? How is that possible?" Qin Wan said in disbelief, "This... this is too unbelievable."
Sister Luo shook her head helplessly:
"Yeah, I think this is ridiculous too. Captain Zhou already has his own family, so how could he possibly choose to marry his eldest sister-in-law? But I don't know what his parents are thinking, they insist on Captain Zhou doing this."
"What they're doing is illegal. Sister Zhou can sue them," Qin Wan said. "They have such a good relationship. I wonder what Captain Zhou's parents were thinking to come up with such a bad idea."
