Chapter 179 Let Su Wan persuade Sister Wei not to divorce
Su Wan wasn't surprised, she just said, "It seems like divorce is difficult in a military marriage."
Mrs. Wei smiled bitterly. "I've already spoken to Mrs. Qiu. She agreed to talk to the political commissar on my behalf. Since Wei Ping's behavior was so abominable, she'll agree to our divorce application. However, he doesn't want the child, so I'll have to take the child with me..."
Before she finished speaking, Su Wan took over.
"Sister Wei, don't think too much. When you get better, go back to work at the store. If you owe me any medical expenses, I'll cover them first. When you've paid off your debt, you can pay me back with your future salary."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wei's tears began to fall.
Her voice choked with sobs: "Wanwan, I really don't know how to thank you..."
Su Wan reached out to wipe away Sister Wei's tears, "Sister Wei, don't think too much. Things will get better slowly. I have confidence in you."
"Wanwan, thank you!"
Sister Wei held Su Wan's hand and smiled a smile that was uglier than crying. "But the medical expenses will be deducted from his salary. Sister Qiu brought me over 200 yuan when she came last time. She said it was from everyone."
She was embarrassed to accept it, but Mrs. Qiu insisted that she take it.
And brought her some bad news.
Although Wei Ping beat her, he was only given a warning and punishment, and his position was not removed.
Mrs. Wei felt uncomfortable, but she had no choice but to accept it.
It is not easy for the army to train a young officer, not to mention that domestic violence is difficult to define. There are many men who beat their wives, but very few of them are punished.
When the affair between Wang Mei and Wei Ping was discovered, the political commissar only asked Mrs. Qiu to do ideological work on Wang Mei. Zhang Tao did not pursue the matter of Wei Ping cheating on him. It was even more difficult for the military camp to intervene in such family disputes.
"Since everyone is here together, don't feel any pressure. Rest and recuperate in the hospital. That's more important than anything else."
Sister Wei nodded and immediately called over her sister, "Wanwan, this is my sister Xiaohua."
"Hello, Sister Wanwan!"
Xiaohua looked at Su Wan, who was dressed stylishly and beautifully, feeling very awkward. She grabbed her clothes with both hands and didn't dare to look her in the eyes.
Su Wan smiled and replied, "Hello, Xiaohua sister, Sister Wei said that she would ask you to go to the store to cook. When Sister Wei is better, you can go to work together."
Xiaohua said thank you and stood aside stiffly.
The two chatted for a while before Su Wan stood up.
She stuffed ten big unity notes into Wei's hand and said, "This money is for you to eat nutritious food. Don't save money in the hospital. Drink more nutritious soup. I'm waiting for you to come to the store to continue working after you get better!"
Sister Wei's tears quickly flowed, "Wanwan, thank you!"
"Sister-in-law Wei, have a good rest. I'm going back first."
After Su Wan left, Xiao Hua whispered, "Sister, Wan Wan is such a nice person."
"Yeah, she's really nice!"
Mrs. Wei looked at Su Wan's leaving back, and her expression instantly dimmed.
After leaving the hospital, Su Wan said to Chen Yuan, "Sister Wei looks so bad. She used to be so pretty, but now she's so skinny she's practically skin and bones."
Chen Yuan looked at Su Wan and comforted her, "Sister-in-law Wei will get better and better."
The two went to the market to buy some vegetables, and also bought a lot of meat and fruit before driving back to the army.
As soon as the car stopped in the yard, Chen Yuan and Su Wan went back and forth three times before they moved all the things up.
When Su Wan came down again, Mrs. Qiu called her.
"Xiao Su, do you have time now?"
"sister in law."
Su Wan smiled at Sister Qiu, closed the car door, and walked over. "Sister-in-law, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Are you not busy right now?"
Mrs. Qiu looked at her and pointed to her room. "Come in and sit down first. I have something I want to talk to you about."
Hearing this, Su Wan didn't say anything and followed him into the house.
After sitting on the chair, Mrs. Qiu poured her a glass of water, then sat down beside her and spoke slowly, "Xiaofang's incident has been quite a big deal. She previously told me she wanted a divorce, and Old Qiu agreed. But for some reason, Wei Ping disagreed. He didn't want to file for divorce, saying that he was just emotional that day. He can accept the punishment, but he doesn't want to divorce Xiaofang. I don't know how to tell Xiaofang about this now. I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it."
"Captain Wei doesn't want a divorce again?"
Su Wan felt that Wei Ping was disgusting.
He even rolled into the same bed with Wang Mei. What does this mean?
Mrs. Qiu saw what Su Wan was thinking. She sighed and said, "I know what you're thinking. As a woman, I certainly think Wei Ping is wrong. But he doesn't want to file for divorce, and even Old Qiu can't force him."
"Sister-in-law asked me to come here to persuade Sister-in-law Wei?"
"Xiao Su, I know you are capable and that you are different from the other married couples in our compound. But as for Wei Ping, we can't do anything if he doesn't agree to a divorce. If he doesn't want to divorce, can you please help persuade Xiao Fang to continue living together for the sake of the children?"
Su Wan looked at Mrs. Qiu in disbelief.
A surge of rage erupted from her chest, but she suppressed it tightly.
She took several deep breaths before speaking, "Sister-in-law, I really can't persuade Sister-in-law Wei. If this happened to me, I would divorce Chen Yuan without hesitation, even if it meant paying a heavy price. Sister-in-law Wei was lucky this time; they saw it. If it happens again, and Sister-in-law Wei is beaten to death, can Wei Ping still rely on his position as battalion commander to accept the punishment and continue to serve the people?"
Su Wan emphasized the last few words.
Mrs. Qiu felt a little embarrassed, and she also knew that saying such words would be really disgusting.
What can she do?
This incident caused such a big stir that everyone in the army knew about it.
Wei Ping didn't want to divorce, and there was nothing they could do. It was not easy to train an officer, and domestic violence was extremely common in the 1970s and 1980s. To them, it didn't seem so unforgivable.
And this idea is not just shared by one person, but by everyone else.
Of course, Mrs. Qiu felt sorry for what happened to Mrs. Wei, but she also had to deal with these things in the compound, so she could only shamelessly ask Su Wan if she could help persuade her.
"Xiao Su, I understand what you mean. Husband and wife fight at the head of the bed but make up at the foot of the bed. If they divorce, their children will suffer."
When Mrs. Qiu said this, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wu happened to arrive.
The two also echoed: "Yes, for the sake of the child, we can give Wei Ping a chance."
Hearing this, Su Wan was so angry that she laughed.
"When Captain Wei beat Sister Wei to death, why didn't he consider that she was the mother of his child, his wife with whom he had shared joys and sorrows for ten years? Sister Wei was clearly the victim, so why did everyone ask her to be magnanimous?"
