Lin Manzhi didn't expect that in her husband's heart, she was such a person. Her truest side was torn open so nakedly, which made her lose face and almost drive her crazy.
"Deputy Captain, sister-in-law."
Suddenly, a dozen soldiers came over and shouted loudly, which scared Lin Manzhi, but also brought back her rationality.
He glared at Wei Mocheng and walked forward. Wei Mocheng hesitated for a moment and followed him.
When Chief Du saw that both men looked unhappy, he guessed that they were having a conflict.
After Wei Mocheng and Lin Manzhi sat down, he said with a serious face.
"It's New Year's Day, please control your temper."
Without waiting for Wei Mocheng to speak, he asked Lin Manzhi, "Who wrote the script for the skit?"
Seeing that Chief Du took the initiative to talk to her, Lin Manzhi quickly adjusted her mood, glanced in the direction of Yang Niannian, and seeing that she seemed not to hear Chief Du's question, she answered in a low voice.
"I felt that some parts of the draft written by Nian Nian were not good, so I made some major revisions."
Chief Du nodded in satisfaction. "The revision is good. I didn't expect you to have talent in this area. Next year's script will also be handed over to you."
Lin Manzhi, "..."
…
The next program was a quiz show organized spontaneously by the soldiers, as well as suona playing and a chorus of the national anthem, which was quite interesting to watch.
It was time for dinner and we all went to the cafeteria to have the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Yang Niannian had a good appetite and ate a big bowl of dumplings. The other military wives also had good appetites, except Lin Manzhi, who had a stern face and didn't eat much.
However, the leftover dumplings in her bowl were not wasted and were all eaten by Wei Mocheng.
Wei Mocheng felt that this was not a solution, so he decided to do some ideological work on Lin Manzhi.
After the two of them returned to the guesthouse, he closed the door, sat on the chair with his legs apart, and prepared to have a long chat.
Before he could open his mouth, Lin Manzhi questioned.
"Wei Mocheng, what do you mean by what you said today? I am that kind of person in your heart. That's how you think of me, right?"
Wei Mocheng was much calmer at this time. On New Year's Eve, he didn't want to have a big argument, so he patiently explained.
"Manzhi, we have been married for so many years, you know how I treat you, if you insist on making such a fuss, I can't do anything to you."
"I'm not the type to hit my wife, and you know that, but my feelings towards you will definitely change. Think about it carefully, do you want to continue making trouble?"
Lin Manzhi's heart skipped a beat. She knew very well how she had been living over the years. Her relatives and friends all envied her for having such a good marriage and praised her every time they met her.
She is still very satisfied with her life and does not want to change the status quo.
She has always looked down on people who live a loveless life. This time she was just being upset as usual, but she didn't want to ruin their relationship.
Lin Manzhi's arrogance immediately subsided and her tone softened.
"Since you know my temper, you should know what kind of person I am. I just like to dress up a little. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
"You're talking about vanity. Yes, I admit that I have a little bit of it. Do you think others don't have it? If Yang Niannian didn't have it, why didn't she buy another watch, but a Plum brand one? What's her family background? Why does she wear a down jacket that costs hundreds of dollars?"
If a country girl can wear it, why can't she?
"Why do you care what they wear?" Wei Mocheng felt that she was just meddling in other people's business. "They just got married and don't have any children yet. The captain has saved money for so many years. What's wrong with spending it on his wife? How old are you? Why are you comparing yourself to a little girl like her?"
Lin Manzhi hated it most when people used her age as an issue. Her anger, which had just subsided, instantly rose again.
"Why can't I compare with her? How am I worse than her? I'm over 30, but I've taken good care of myself, and I look no different from a 20-year-old girl."
Wei Mocheng sneered, "You are flattered to the point of not knowing what's going on. You are over 30, how can your skin be the same as when you were 20? You look in the mirror every day, don't you realize that you are getting older? Others don't need to wear makeup, their skin is so soft and tender, no matter how thick the rouge you put on, it can't cover the wrinkles at the corners of their eyes."
He admitted that his wife was indeed younger than other young women of the same age, and it was quite impressive to take her out with her still having some charm, but how could she be compared with a girl in her twenties?
As someone who has given birth to two children, she still has to compare herself with those who have not given birth to children. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Why can't you face reality?
Every word Wei Mocheng said pierced Lin Manzhi's heart, making her so angry that she trembled all over and almost couldn't breathe.
She was such a proud person, and now being belittled by her husband was more painful than being slapped twice. She packed up her things and left.
"Okay, I'm not as good as her. I gave birth to a pair of children for you, but in the end you belittle me like this."
"You've regretted marrying me a long time ago, right? If it was a few years later, you could have married a delicate college student and shined on the stage."
"Wei Mocheng, I have finally seen through you. I want a divorce from you. I can't live like this anymore."
Why is this getting more and more exciting?
Wei Mocheng stopped her, still talking.
"What are you making a fuss about late at night? Who dislikes you? I just want you to see the reality clearly. Don't act young even though you are old. People may praise you for your youth in front of you, but behind your back they may say you are an old cucumber with green paint."
Lin Manzhi was so angry that her face turned hideous and she screamed, "Shut up and let's get a divorce. I can't live with you for even a day..."
Yang Niannian was standing at the entrance of the corridor and almost laughed to death. She went to take a shower and when she came back she heard Wei Mocheng and Lin Manzhi arguing.
Their room was close to the entrance of the corridor, and the noise was a bit loud, so one could hear everything clearly from here. It was really unexpected that Wei Mocheng, who looked very serious and not the kind of person who liked to gossip, could be so irritating when he spoke.
I guess Lin Manzhi was almost angry to death.
Yang Niannian pricked up her ears and listened carefully. Suddenly, Lu Shishen's voice came from behind her, "Why don't you go back to the house?"
Yang Niannian was startled and quickly made a gesture to keep quiet, then pulled Lu Shishen back to the room.
He closed the door and said excitedly.
"Deputy Headmaster Wei and Lin Manzhi had a quarrel. They both wanted to divorce. Deputy Headmaster Wei said that Lin Manzhi was an old cucumber painted green to look young. Lin Manzhi was so angry that she wanted to divorce."
Lu Shishen seemed to be thinking, "Is the quarrel so serious?"
Yang Niannian nodded heavily. "They had a big fight, but I don't think they will get a divorce. It's just that Lin Manzhi will probably be very angry about what Deputy Captain Wei said. She cares most about her appearance. I never realized that Deputy Captain Wei has such a vicious tongue."
Lu Shishen placed the wash basin next to the wall and said, "Lin Manzhi is too arrogant. Someone should speak the truth to her."
Yang Niannian quickly gave him a shot of defense, "Don't tell me such truth in the future, or I will go crazy. I like to hear sweet words."
