Shen Xiao refused to take the challenge and pretended to be deaf and dumb along with Instructor Duan.
"Wei Dong finally came back, so he will stay at home for a few days. I have already informed the shipyard and asked for half a month's leave for him. You and your family should have a good talk."
Seeing Shen Xiao's embarrassed expression, Bai Hongmei thought she had him completely under control.
I was secretly proud in my heart: Shen Xiao really cares about my son's future the most. We are connected as mother and son, as long as I hold Wei Dong tightly. Shen Xiao had to find a way to help us.
Lao Zuo felt a little disappointed when he saw this. In his heart, he didn't want to divorce Bai Hongmei. They finally had a family. Even though this woman was very wild, it didn't matter.
The point is, he has been wandering for half his life and finally has a home, and he doesn't want this family to break up.
So he secretly went to find Shen Xiao. The man who had been tough for most of his life bent his waist in front of a young man.
"Captain Shen, please give me some advice. I, Zuo, finally got married and I don't want our family to break up."
Shen Xiao didn't know Lao Zuo before. After knowing that Bai Hongmei married him, Shen Xiao specially asked someone to check it out.
Lao Zuo is the quartermaster, a position that is actually very lucrative. But he is single, old and has no children, so Lao Zuo doesn't care about money.
The First Battalion was a hard-hit area for corruption, but Lao Zuo was able to escape unscathed, which shows that he is a good person.
But how could Bai Hongmei be interested in such an honest man?
"Brother, you are a good man."
Shen Xiao poured a cup of tea for Lao Zuo, sat opposite him, and thought for a long time before saying this.
Lao Zuo smiled bitterly and said, "Good people don't get rewarded these days."
"Don't say that again, for your own sake and for your family's sake."
Shen Xiao frowned and subconsciously reminded Lao Zuo.
Lao Zuo was stunned, and the corners of his mouth curved up again, and he sighed bitterly: "Can someone like me still have a family in the future?"
"I think you should have seen clearly what kind of person Bai Hongmei is now. She has high standards for the quality of life. She wants to leave you because she is worried that you can't give her a good life."
Since Lao Zuo came to the door, Shen Xiao did not hide it and asked directly: "She can only share the good times with you but not the bad times. If you lose your value, she will abandon you.
Are you sure you still want a woman like this? ”
Lao Zuo lowered his head and said nothing.
Shen Xiao picked up the teacup, sipped the tea patiently, and waited quietly for Lao Zuo to think.
When the tea had cooled down, Lao Zuo raised his head and looked at Shen Xiao with a pleading look in his eyes.
"If she wants to leave, let her go. Can you please leave my daughter behind?"
Daughter?
Shen Xiao's eyes darkened, and he stared at Lao Zuo as if he wanted to eat him.
"Hey, Captain Shen, what do you mean by this? Who do you think I am, Old Zuo?"
When Lao Zuo saw that Shen Xiao's expression was not right, he immediately became angry.
"Do you think I should do something to those two girls? Even if I am not a human being, I cannot harm my daughter."
"That child is not yours. You can't even keep the mother of the child. If you want someone else's daughter, anyone who hears it will think too much."
Old Zuo was so angry that he slammed the table. "I am the father of the child, and the stepfather is also the father. She called me dad, so I treated her like my own child. Bai Hongmei can leave if she wants to. She emptied the house, and I didn't say a word, as long as she left Ni'er with me.
Honghong would suffer if she followed her, and she didn't love the child. Honghong followed me, and I could raise her even if I went out to beg. ”
Shen Xiao frowned and stared at Lao Zuo: "You want Wei Hong, not Wei Fang."
Lao Zuo curled his lips in disgust and said, "That girl Wei Fang is just like her mother, a useless wolf that can never be tamed.
Honghong is a miserable child, but also a sensible child. With Bai Hongmei's temper, if Honghong follows her, she will beat her to death sooner or later. It’s better to follow me, your stepfather. ”
Seeing that Shen Xiao remained silent, Lao Zuo thought that Shen Xiao had misunderstood again.
He shouted angrily, "Captain Shen, I dare to sign a military order right now. I raised Honghong as my own daughter and never had any bad intentions. If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning."
Lao Zuo stood up, raised his finger to the sky and swore: "I dare to swear to everyone that I will raise my daughter to adulthood."
