Chapter 5 Something happened and the divorce didn’t happen!
Su Mei quickly finished the bowl of noodles, but her stomach was empty, as if she had not eaten anything.
In fact, there was still some in the pot, but thinking of the three layers of fat on her belly, Su Mei kept silent.
She got up, washed the dishes and put them in the cupboard.
Huo Jianguo had been staring at Su Mei from behind, thinking that this woman was the kind of person who couldn't even help fix a fallen oil bottle, and she had never washed dishes before.
Every time the kitchen was a mess, he would come in to clean it up during his break.
Could it be that the sun is rising from the west today... No, this woman probably just wants to delay time by washing dishes.
When Su Mei finished washing the dishes and turned around, Huo Jianguo stared at her coldly, wanting to hear what excuses this woman could come up with.
Unexpectedly, Su Mei did not make any excuses this time. She looked at Huo Jianguo very calmly and said:
"Let's go get a divorce."
This time Huo Jianguo was stunned for a moment.
Perhaps because things went too smoothly, Huo Jianguo felt that it was a little unreal. He was even prepared to use threats and inducements.
In fact, he had planned to live a good life with Su Mei before.
He had been avoiding it for the past two years, but when he brought Su Mei to the military compound, he also fantasized about living a life with a wife and children and a warm bed.
Life on the border is not easy, but these officers who have families all live a comfortable life.
Although Huo Jianguo was dissatisfied with Su Mei, he had already married her after all. After two years of ideological struggle, he decided to take on his responsibilities as a man.
He brought Su Mei over, bought furniture, renovated the house, and initially planned to live with her.
But on the first night he brought Su Mei over, as soon as he stepped into the room, he was driven out by the stinking foot odor that spread throughout the area within ten miles.
Later he discovered that not only did Su Mei's feet smell, but her body also smelled. She never took a bath and had never used the mouthwash cup he prepared for her.
It was so sloppy that Huo Jianguo began to doubt his life. He tried to persuade Su Mei, but it was of no use.
So Huo Jianguo had to give up the idea of living with Su Mei, but out of responsibility, he was still willing to support Su Mei.
Who knew she would become more and more outrageous later on...
Last night she actually drugged him so that she could sleep with him. Luckily there was no emergency mission yesterday. If something unexpected had happened and he couldn't get up, he would have lost his skin.
Huo Jianguo realized that he could not endure it any longer. If he did not divorce Su Mei, he would be stuck in a quagmire from which he could not get out for the rest of his life.
He was ready, thinking that as long as Su Mei agreed to let go, he could use all his savings in exchange for the divorce certificate.
If temptation didn't work, he would resort to coercion. Even if he had to put a knife to Su Mei's neck, he would force her to divorce today.
However, although he had made sufficient preparations, he never expected that Su Mei would not make trouble for him at all.
Seeing Su Mei go out first, Huo Jianguo sat in surprise for a while before he immediately stood up and followed her.
He didn't know why Su Mei was so calm, and was worried that there might be something fishy going on behind her calmness, so he talked to Su Mei as he walked:
"Don't worry, I won't let you down even if we get divorced. At least I'll give you enough compensation so that you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the next ten years.
As for the days to come, it would be best if you could live a good life.
Even if things are not going well, I will not ignore you. I will do my best to help you with material and financial matters. Let's part ways in peace."
Su Mei listened to what Huo Jianguo said and couldn't help thinking that this man was indeed a good person. He lived with the original owner, and he himself lived in a shabby and dilapidated storage room, but gave the original owner a beautiful house to live in.
Now they have to separate, and it is clearly the original owner's fault, but he takes all the responsibility on himself.
From what he said, he was planning to get a divorce and empty out all his family assets.
The original owner didn't know how much money Huo Jianguo had saved, but he had no intention of hiding it. He even said that if she had any difficulties ten years later, he would help her.
What a good man.
What a pity.
Su Mei would never say something stupid like she doesn't want money.
But one should be honest and not take everything. She can take half at most, and the couple can divorce and divide their property equally. This is reasonable and legal.
Su Mei just thought about these things in her heart, but she didn't say them out loud. She thought Huo Jianguo definitely wouldn't want to hear her voice.
The two of them walked one after the other. Huo Jianguo looked at Su Mei and saw that she was not making any noise at all and was really walking step by step towards the office of the military base. He couldn't help but slowly fell silent.
Just when the two were about to reach the end and leave the family compound, a man suddenly rushed out from the back of the family compound. The man was panting and ran straight to Huo Jianguo when he saw him.
"Master, Master Huo, something happened!"
"Xie Li, what happened?" Huo Jianguo stopped and asked seriously.
Su Mei also turned around. She glanced at Huo Jianguo and clearly felt that Huo Jianguo's aura had suddenly become stern and serious.
Xie Li was obviously exhausted. He took a few deep breaths and then said:
"Master Huo, when Li Yuan and I were on patrol, he missed his step and fell off the cliff of Jigongpo. I called out many times but there was no response. I didn't know what had happened to him, and I didn't dare to go down alone, so I ran all the way back to ask for help."
At the end of the conversation, Xie Li's voice choked up and he was obviously about to cry:
"Master Huo, please quickly dispatch some people to rescue Li Yuan!"
After hearing what Xie Li said, Huo Jianguo's expression became more serious. He glanced at Su Mei and said:
"You go back first, we'll talk about our business another day."
"Okay." Su Mei nodded.
After something like this happened, Huo Jianguo would definitely go out to rescue her. She also knew that the divorce could not be completed today.
After explaining something to Su Mei, Huo Jianguo quickly ran towards the base.
"See you later, sister-in-law." Xie Li greeted Su Mei politely and started jogging behind Huo Jianguo.
Although Xie Li greeted Su Su Mei politely, Su Mei still sensed the undisguised disdain in Xie Li's eyes. She couldn't help but sigh:
"Su Mei, Su Mei, you are really hated by thousands and tens of thousands of people."
Since the divorce was not completed, Su Mei naturally returned to the yard.
As soon as she returned to the yard, she started boiling water.
Even though she was getting a divorce, she still had to clean up. The pile of dirty clothes had to be washed, the bed sheets had to be changed, and she also had to open all the windows in the house for ventilation.
Even if she wants to get divorced, she will clean the house thoroughly before leaving.
This is a habit of Su Mei. When she rents a house and moves out nowadays, she will clean the house before leaving.
Even if there are old clothes that need to be thrown away, she will wash them thoroughly before throwing them away. I don’t know what kind of weird habit she has.
Finally I'm used to it.
Besides, the divorce hasn't been finalized yet, and she doesn't know when she can leave after the divorce. She still has to live in this house, so it would be nice to tidy it up and make herself live comfortably.
After boiling the water, Su Mei went to the bedroom to take off the sheets and quilt covers. The bed was hot, which made Su Mei realize that the fire in the kitchen could warm the bed here.
No wonder she didn't feel cold in the first half of last night, but her hands and feet were freezing in the second half.
This was because the hot coals underground went out in the second half of the night.
The sheets, quilt covers, and thick clothes filled two basins. Su Mei carried hot water, poured them into the basins, squatted on the washboard next to the well, and started washing with a brush and soap.
She first cleaned the sheets and pillowcases and hung them up, and then started washing clothes.
Just as she was brushing a heavy cotton coat, a 30-year-old middle-aged woman came in from outside the yard, cracking melon seeds. As she walked, she said:
"Hey, the teacher's wife is washing clothes!"
Hearing the term "teacher's wife", Su Mei's face turned cold and she looked up at the middle-aged woman with displeasure.
The middle-aged woman was called Cai Guihua. She was the only person in the military compound who was willing to interact with the original owner.
It’s not because Cai Guihua and the original owner get along well, but because Cai Guihua, like the original owner, is someone who is not liked by others in this military compound.
This Cai Guihua is not as good as the original owner, but she has a mouth that likes to gossip and spread rumors. She spreads other people's gossip behind their backs and offends everyone in the compound.
No one wanted to pay attention to Cai Guihua, so Cai Guihua turned her attention to the original owner. She often chatted with the original owner, calling her "teacher's wife" all the time, which made the original owner very happy.
The original owner was just stupid, thinking that Cai Guihua treated her sincerely.
But Su Mei discovered through her memories that Cai Guihua was a vicious person. She often whispered in the original owner's ear, asking who made dumplings and who bought fruits, and urged the original owner to go and eat and drink for free.
He also told the original owner that she didn't need to do laundry, cooking or cleaning, because once a woman started doing these things, she would have to do them for the rest of her life.
You have to be lazy to push all these housework to men.
The original owner tried and found that if she didn't clean the yard, Huo Jianguo would do it; if she didn't clean the kitchen, Huo Jianguo would clean it.
So the original owner thought Cai Guihua was particularly smart, and no matter what he did, he would obey Cai Guihua's orders.
An old lady in the compound advised the original owner not to associate with Cai Guihua, saying that Cai Guihua called her a dead fat pig behind her back. The original owner didn't believe it and scolded the old lady.
.......What is going on.
After spending a few seconds to simply sort out the memories related to Cai Guihua, Su Mei looked up at her with some disgust and asked:
"The captain's wife came to see me. What's the matter?"
