Lu Yu looked at Qin Wan's resolute expression and his heart sank.
He knew that the woman before him had a strong character who would rather die than live in disgrace. He secretly warned himself that he must be cautious in the future and must not do anything that would cause his wife to misunderstand.
As night fell, not long after the family had finished dinner, Mrs. Luo came rushing to the door.
At that moment, Lu Yu was playing with the children, while Yu's wife was in the kitchen clearing away the dishes. When they saw Luo's wife appear at the door, they exchanged a knowing glance, realizing she must have something important to discuss with Qin Wan.
So, Lu Yu greeted Mrs. Luo with a smile, then took the children's hands and walked out of the house, leaving them a quiet space.
When only Qin Wan and Sister Luo were left at home, Sister Luo didn't even bother to say polite words and said directly:
"For some reason, Mrs. Zhou and Captain Zhou started arguing."
Qin Wan frowned slightly when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked hurriedly:
"Then why don't you go over and try to mediate? Why did you find the time to come to me?"
Sister Luo spread her hands helplessly and said with a bitter face:
"Oh, this is really hard to handle! The fact that he carries two wives is a family secret. If I ask about it rashly, I'm afraid Captain Zhou will be so angry that he might even want to kill me! So, I thought we should go together to persuade him, maybe it will help."
When Qin Wan heard this, her eyebrows slightly frowned, as if she had some concerns in her heart.
She thought for a while, shook her head gently, and said softly:
"Let's not go. People tend to keep things like this secret for fear that others will find out. If we go there rashly, we might not be able to stop the fight, and might even exacerbate the conflict."
You know, things like "shouldering two houses" are not easy to say, not to mention now, even in the past.
If this happened in the military, it wouldn't just be a scandal involving Captain Zhou, but a scandal involving the entire army. If this were to be exposed, the consequences would be disastrous.
Not to mention that Captain Zhou's small family would be torn apart because of this, even Captain Zhou himself would probably be implicated in the military and be ruthlessly expelled.
Mrs. Luo on the side sighed helplessly and nodded slowly, indicating that she agreed with Qin Wan's opinion.
"This matter is indeed difficult to persuade. When Mrs. Zhou complained to me before, she specifically told me to keep my mouth shut. If I didn't know that you are always tight-lipped, I would definitely not dare to mention this matter to you."
Qin Wan's eyes were as calm as water. After a moment of thought, he said:
"Sister-in-law Luo, actually, this matter isn't that difficult to handle if you say it's easy, but it's also really tricky if you say it's difficult. The key lies in finding out what Sister-in-law Zhou can bear."
Qin Wan didn't think it would be difficult to deal with this matter from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing this, Sister Luo's eyes, which had been somewhat dim, instantly lit up. She looked at Qin Wan expectantly and asked anxiously:
"Then tell me in detail what to do!"
Qin Wan pondered for a moment and said:
"If Sister Zhou really can't tolerate the Zhou family's proposal to make Captain Zhou shoulder both responsibilities, then Sister Zhou has to be decisive!
Have Captain Zhou send a final warning to his family: from now on, not even a penny is allowed to be sent to his widowed sister-in-law, and no one is allowed to ask about her affairs anymore!
Qin Wan expressed his thoughts with a serious face.
At this time, Sister Luo, who was sitting beside her, couldn't help but frowned and interrupted:
"Don't let Captain Zhou send money to his sister-in-law? That might be a bit difficult to do, after all, his sister-in-law is with his nephew!
His eldest brother is no longer alive, and now he is the only one left.
Regardless of the perspective, Captain Zhou has an unshirkable responsibility to help them."
Speaking of that nephew, everyone felt quite troubled. Indeed, if this nephew hadn't been in the way, Captain Zhou and his wife might not have been so caught in such a dilemma.
Qin Wan's eyes turned, and he seemed to have thought of a good idea, and said quickly:
"This is actually easy to solve! Captain Zhou can stop sending money to his sister-in-law, but he can send an extra ten dollars to his parents every month! That way, it's only natural and logical for the grandparents to take care of their grandson. No one can find fault with it!"
However, it is indeed inappropriate for a brother-in-law to send money to his widowed sister-in-law.
As the saying goes, when a son grows up, he needs to avoid his mother in some matters. The brother-in-law should naturally keep a certain distance from his sister-in-law to avoid causing unnecessary suspicion, especially since this sister-in-law is a widow of the same age as himself, so he needs to be extra careful about the degree of his behavior.
While Qin Wan patiently and carefully explained the reason to Aunt Luo, he frowned slightly, as if he was deeply worried about the matter.
"Yeah, after your analysis, I now have a complete understanding of the situation."
Sister Luo nodded in sudden realization. But then she looked troubled again and continued to ask:
"What if Captain Zhou still can't meet these requirements? What should we do next? We can't just keep on being stuck like this, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Wan answered without hesitation:
"That's easy! Just get a divorce!"
Her tone was firm, as if she had already made up her mind about the solution.
"But...if they really get divorced, wouldn't that mean his sister-in-law is taking advantage of him for nothing?"
