It was time for dinner, but Zhao Qiang was still talking with Lao Fang.
The reason was a divorce application on the table.
The first thing Lao Fang did when he met Zhao Qiang today was to submit a divorce application.
The Fang family already has three children, why would they get a divorce? Anyone with a brain knows it's because of what happened yesterday.
Their relationship had always been very good.
Zhao Qiang: "Don't feel guilty about what happened yesterday. We'll figure out a solution. Wei Aiguo's attitude is acceptable; now that he's married, he can't bear to see his husband suffer."
I'll try my best to help her with her work; I'll assist you.
I had dealings with her back in J City, and I wasn't completely without respect for her.
Zhao Qiang thought to himself, "If I dare to approve this application, Shen Lao will probably come and slap me in the face."
"I've submitted my application, you must give me a reply. If you don't approve it, I'll submit another application."
"If you don't approve it after several attempts, I will file a lawsuit." Old Fang had repeated this several times.
"Alright, get out of here! Don't be ungrateful. I'll report you to Old Shen, I don't believe you'll still be so tough." Zhao Qiang couldn't help but grab the old house and push it out.
Old Fang: "When are you planning to tell him, now? I can go with you!"
"You're getting agitated, aren't you? Get out, get out! Don't try to annoy me!" Zhao Qiang was fed up.
However, Zhao Qiang also understood Lao Fang. His mother-in-law had spoiled the child rotten, and anyone would have objections.
Zhao Qiang didn't go home even after eating. The women from those four families must have all gone to his house. Let his wife handle it for now! Those brats can stay locked up for a few days; there's no rush.
The phone on the table rang. Those who call him directly are usually close friends.
"Hey...no, why are you here!...Fine, fine! You wait here."
Commander Zhao hung up the phone and immediately summoned Miao Huan.
Upon receiving the division commander's order, Miao Huan immediately drove off with the commander himself...
Although this isn't my home, it feels more reassuring than being in the hospital.
After helping Wei Aiguo wash up, Song Yan fetched water and went to the inner room to wash himself.
Wei Aiguo felt a tickle in his heart as he listened to the sound of water.
After Song Yan finished washing up, he paced back and forth, and Wei Aiguo's eyes followed him.
"Look down at your book!" Song Yan couldn't help but say to him.
Wei Aiguo turned a page in his book; he didn't want to read anymore.
There's a double bed in the room, but there's only one bed. My wife will be sleeping next to me tonight!
"Knock, knock, knock!" Someone knocked on the window three times, softly and slowly. "Sixth Brother, it's me, Miao Huan! It's my sister-in-law's elder who wants to see her!"
Recognizing Miao Huan's voice, Wei Aiguo could only say, "Wait a minute!"
Song Yan was wearing self-made shorts and a vest. In this era, such clothing was considered inappropriate for public appearances. Song Yan quickly dressed. She couldn't believe her elders would be here, especially not in the middle of the night, and brought by Miao Huan.
Fang Songyan opened the door, Miao Huan stepped aside, and the secretary's face appeared. Songyan blurted out, "Secretary Fang!"
"How dare you speak like that? Call me Uncle Fang!" Secretary Fang walked in. Miao Huan considerately closed the door behind him. Of course, he remained outside the door.
Secretary Fang could finally get a closer look at Shen Qian. He was handsome, just like his father. Even from a distance, Secretary Fang could sense that he was more composed than before. Some things don't need to be explicitly expressed.
These were just fleeting thoughts. Secretary Fang wasn't one to create awkward silences; if there was, it was because he was doing it on purpose. "Song Yan, you were surprised to see me, weren't you?"
Song Yan nodded, surprised, as if struck by lightning.
Secretary Fang: "You're quite clever. How come you didn't even call out to anyone?"
Song Yan knew that this was inappropriate when he said, "Uncle Fang!" It was inappropriate to call him "Chief" now, and he had slipped up when he called him Secretary Fang earlier.
"What about you? Why didn't you call anyone?" Secretary Fang said to Wei Aiguo.
"Greetings, Commander!" Wei Aiguo greeted.
"Song Yan is Elder Zeng's goddaughter, so Elder Zeng is your elder. Did Song Yan tell you what the relationship is between Elder Zeng and General Shen?" Secretary Fang asked.
Wei Aiguo nodded, "I understand!"
“General Shen is your uncle-in-law, so it’s perfectly fine for you to call me uncle,” Secretary Fang said.
Song Yan: What you're saying is barely plausible, but coming in the middle of the night is problematic. Just tell me the reason already; why do you feel so uneasy about it?
This was a firm insistence on calling him "Uncle." Age-wise, there was nothing wrong with Wei Aiguo calling him "Uncle." Wei Aiguo simply didn't want to be seen as presumptuous; if he insisted, then he would. "Uncle Fang!"
"That's right!" Secretary Fang lightly pressed her temples; she was getting on in years. She actually felt tired after the journey here.
Song Yan went outside and brought back a bowl of water. "This house is rented, and everything is borrowed and not complete. There's no cup, so please use the bowl to drink some water!"
Song Yan's words only made Secretary Fang's mouth water. He picked up the bowl, took a sip, and the water seemed to taste sweet. He couldn't help but drink the whole bowl. This girl was thoughtful enough to bring him a bowl of sweet soup.
Song Yan noticed his exhaustion. Half the bowl of water was spring water, and the other half was ordinary water.
Wei Aiguo's case proves that spring water has special effects.
"General Shen found out what happened at the hospital. He was worried that you, being young and impetuous, might mess things up, so he sent me to take a look," Secretary Fang said.
Song Yan and Wei Aiguo had the same thought at the same time: Does Commander Shen value Old Zeng's goddaughter so much?
Wei Aiguo: "Commander Zhao said he was entrusted by you to handle this matter."
"What are your own thoughts?" Secretary Fang asked.
"Does Uncle Fang have any suggestions?" Wei Aiguo asked in return.
Secretary Fang laughed. Shen Qian is quite cunning; instead of answering the question, he asks him a question in return.
“If we insist on pursuing this matter, it will make you seem aggressive. If we don’t pursue it, it will seem like you’re trying to curry favor or that you’re weak. So we must find a balance. How do we find that balance? That’s a very important question!” Secretary Fang pushed the bowl towards Song Yan.
Song Yan: The spring water is so delicious, I'm addicted to it!
Wei Aiguo sensed that Secretary Fang wanted to hear his thoughts and offered guidance.
Why did Secretary Fang do that?
Both husband and wife became wary.
There is no love without a reason, nor is there hatred without a reason!
