Chapter 38 I Do Not Agree to a Divorce!
The director was taken aback: "You want a divorce?"
Everyone knows that Lin Xiaowei loves Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou very much. How could she possibly get a divorce after so many years of relationship with him?
Lin Xiaowei nodded firmly: "Yes, I want a divorce. My relationship with Zhou Cheng has broken down, and I don't plan to stay with him anymore."
The director paused for a moment, then said, "If you apply for a forced divorce, you will not be able to remarry after the divorce, and you will not be able to come back for five years after your transfer to the Northwest. In other words, you and Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou will never see each other again."
Conditions in the Northwest are harsh, but if Lin Xiaowei is willing to go there, she will be promoted quickly. She is a responsible female soldier who has made many sacrifices.
"I've made up my mind," Lin Xiaowei said.
This time, her break with Zhou Cheng was a complete and permanent one; she never wanted to see him again.
It doesn't mean anything.
Anyway, from now on, she'll live her own life.
The director looked at her, paused for a moment, and said, "Why don't you think about it again? After all, divorce is a big deal, so don't make such an impulsive decision."
"No need to think about it, I won't regret it."
Lin Xiaowei handed over the completed divorce application, saying righteously, "Director, please help me apply. This is the result of my careful consideration."
In the past, she might have had feelings for Zhou Cheng, but not anymore. Zhou Cheng only cares about Chen Guilan anyway, so let them live together.
He probably liked Chen Guilan more in his heart, and Zhou Cheng would definitely be very happy after she left.
Lin Xiaowei didn't know whether she hated Zhou Cheng or not. The two had been together for so many years and had once been in love, but to say that she didn't hate him at all would be a lie.
Oh well, I'm leaving anyway.
"I hope the director will approve my request."
Lin Xiaowei saluted him.
The director nodded. Seeing that Lin Xiaowei had made her decision, he knew he was serious as well. He had come to Lin Xiaowei for a serious reason this time.
"There's a bus to the Northwest in five days. Remember to buy a ticket, otherwise it will be difficult to go again next time."
Tickets are scarce here, and there aren't always buses. Lin Xiaowei was lucky; there happened to be a bus going to the Northwest recently, which allowed her to buy a ticket.
"good."
After Lin Xiaowei left, the director sighed. He hadn't paid attention to these relationship issues and had always thought that Lin Xiaowei and Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou had a good relationship. After all, the two had fought on the battlefield together and had a revolutionary friendship.
I never imagined it would escalate to this point.
After submitting her application, Lin Xiaowei felt much better. After returning home, she no longer cared about Zhou Cheng at all.
Anyway, she'll be leaving in five days.
When she got home, Lin Xiaowei didn't cook, and the table was empty.
Chen Guilan has not cooked since she was injured.
When Zhou Cheng returned and saw the empty room, he frowned and asked, "Why didn't you cook?"
When he spoke, it was hard to understand.
After all, even when Lin Xiaowei was angry, she would still cook.
Lin Xiaowei said calmly, "You can take Chen Guilan to eat in the cafeteria."
Zhou Cheng's eyes darkened: "You know that my sister-in-law and I are innocent."
Lin Xiaowei interrupted him: "Anyway, I'm not cooking today, so you don't need to explain these things to me."
Over the years, she had grown tired of hearing Zhou Cheng's various "nothing's wrong" stories, and now she just found them a bit annoying.
She didn't intend to tell Zhou Cheng when she was leaving.
But Zhou Cheng soon found out about it because Lin Xiaowei's divorce application was approved.
"I do not agree to a divorce!"
Upon learning that Lin Xiaowei was truly going to get a divorce and was even planning to leave for the Northwest, Zhou Cheng nearly went insane.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he was extremely agitated. He gripped Lin Xiaowei's hand tightly and said through gritted teeth, "I won't let you leave."
Strangely enough, Zhou Cheng hadn't liked her at all over the years, but now that she was leaving, he was losing control of his emotions.
"You're hurting me," Lin Xiaowei said.
Zhou Cheng didn't let go; instead, he tightened his grip even more, his voice pleading, "Xiaowei, don't go. I'll listen to you from now on, okay?"
He promised, "You just want me to send your sister-in-law away, right? I'll send her away right away, okay? I'll send her to the countryside, can you stay?"
Lin Xiaowei: "..."
This is what she has always wanted. If Zhou Cheng had sent Chen Guilan away before, none of this would have happened. But now it's too late.
The divorce papers have been filed, and she's about to head to the Northwest; everything here has nothing to do with her anymore.
What Zhou Cheng said now has no effect on her anymore.
"Acheng, are you trying to kick me out?" Chen Guilan came out quickly after hearing this.
She looked at Zhou Cheng, her eyes filled with hurt.
Zhou Cheng had promised Chen Guilan that he would take good care of her, but now...
He didn't dare look Chen Guilan in the eye, but said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will give you all my wages. I won't abandon you. You should go back to the countryside. You have relatives there too."
Lin Xiaowei couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that Zhou Cheng knew Chen Guilan had relatives in the countryside, but all these years, he had kept her by his side and never sent her back to the countryside.
Chen Guilan's eyes immediately reddened, and she sobbed, "I knew you had long since given up on me. I can't do anything, and staying by your side will only cause you trouble."
As she cried, she suddenly burst into loud sobs.
Zhou Cheng panicked. He let go of her hand and quickly comforted Chen Guilan: "Sister-in-law, no matter what, you will always be my sister-in-law. I have never looked down on you."
Chen Guilan suddenly buried her head in his chest, crying and mumbling, "But I've lost my baby now, so it has nothing to do with you anymore. You only took care of me because of the baby."
Zhou Cheng was startled by her actions. He pushed Chen Guilan, but couldn't budge her.
Lin Xiaowei watched them hug each other coldly from the side.
Zhou Cheng and his sister-in-law hugged each other.
That's ridiculous.
How come she didn't notice the problems between them before?
Zhou Cheng finally pushed Chen Guilan away with all his might. Seeing the disbelief in her eyes, he said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, don't overthink it..."
Lin Xiaowei was too lazy to look at the two of them anymore, so she opened the door and was about to leave.
Zhou Cheng quickly chased after her: "Lin Xiaowei, you can't do this! I don't agree to a divorce! You didn't even discuss the divorce with me beforehand, this is unfair to me!"
Lin Xiaowei sneered: "Isn't the reason I want a divorce obvious?"
