Chapter 56: Secret Pregnancy
Southern Tibet welcomed the first spring rain. After the rain stopped, Cheng Jinghao spread a layer of cow dung on the ground.
As for Zeng Wei, he hasn't looked for Cao Li for more than ten months since the last fight with the He family.
This day, Zeng Wei took the opportunity to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy brown sugar for He Huilan to meet Cao Li, but got a shocking news.
"I'm pregnant, when will you marry me?" Cao Li asked.
"I, I haven't been promoted yet, so you can't follow me." Zeng Wei panicked.
"Then let's get married first. I'll join the army after you get promoted." Cao Li held his hand. Her mind was full of pregnancy and she didn't notice Zeng Wei's expression at all.
The village was about to start spring ploughing, and she couldn't work because she was pregnant.
Zeng Wei looked at her. Cao Li was prettier than He Huilan, gentler than her, and pregnant with his child.
He Huilan and I have been married for three years, but she has not given birth to a child.
Ding 깊 calmed down and said, "Wait a minute, I have to tell my family about the marriage and file a marriage report."
"Then hurry up, or you won't be able to hide your pregnancy if you take too long." Cao Li said.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take responsibility." Zeng Wei pulled Cao Li into his arms, coaxed her softly for a while, and then hurried back on the pretext of training.
On the way back, Zeng Wei was in a state of confusion. His current position depended on He Shuangjiang, but it was obvious that He Shuangjiang could no longer provide him with any help.
Cao Li was pregnant with his child, and he really liked this gentle and lovely girl, but once their relationship was exposed, he would not only lose his current military position, but also go to jail.
He had to divorce He Huilan first. Anyway, the He family could no longer bring him any value.
When Zeng Wei returned home, He Huilan asked him, "Why did you take so long? Where did you go to be lazy? Go and cook, mom and dad are hungry."
"You do it yourself. I won't do it." Zeng Wei put the brown sugar in He Huilan's hand and prepared to go into the house.
"Zeng Wei, go and cook." He Huilan shouted, pointing at his back.
"He Huilan, we have been married for three years. I have been cooking and working for your family. Look at you, will you give me a child?" Zeng Wei turned around and asked.
"What do you mean? You want to have a quarrel? Don't forget who you rely on for your current position?" He Huilan put her hands on her hips.
"What else can your dad do now? Doesn't he have to do morning training every day?" Zeng Wei said sarcastically.
Their quarrel attracted He Shuangjiang and Liu Cuihua from the room.
"What are you arguing about?" He Shuangjiang looked at Zeng Wei. This son-in-law was becoming more and more undisciplined.
"I want a divorce." Zeng Wei said, "I am the only one in our Zeng family. You can't let me be the last one to come."
"What did you say? You dare to tell me you want a divorce?" He Huilan said as she was about to pounce on him.
After hearing Zeng Wei's request for divorce, the He couple also came forward and started fighting, and the four of them immediately started fighting in a ball.
At this time, Xu Gang's family was having dinner.
"Should we go and ask for the political commissar's help?" This time the commotion was even bigger than last time, and Liu Qian was afraid that something might happen.
"You eat first, I'll go over there." Xu Gang sighed and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
The neighbors nearby also heard the noise and watched the excitement from their doorsteps.
Xu Gang's home was not far from Political Commissar Cao's home, so Political Commissar Cao came quickly, and with him came Zhou Weihong, who was in charge of women's affairs.
The onlookers made way for the two.
"What are you doing?" Political Commissar Cao roared.
The four of them acted as if they hadn't heard anything and continued fighting.
"Go and pull them apart." Political Commissar Cao said to Xu Gang and several soldiers.
After everyone left, Political Commissar Cao spoke up, "This is the military district family compound, not a place for you to throw a tantrum. A brigade commander and a deputy battalion commander, don't you have any discipline?"
"Commissar Cao, I want to divorce He Huilan. I have been married to her for three years and have worked like a slave for the He family. In these three years, He Huilan has not given me a child and has even beaten and scolded me."
Zeng Wei took the initiative. If he could marry He Huilan as a squad leader and deceive Cao Li, he must be a good talker.
Political Commissar Cao looked at Brigade Commander He. He had heard about the He family's affairs a long time ago, but they had never made a scene in front of him and Commander Chen, so they couldn't say anything.
"You coward, if you hadn't relied on my dad, how could you have become the deputy battalion commander? You are still just a squad leader now?" He Huilan pointed at Zeng Wei and said.
The military families who were watching the excitement outside were talking about it. No one could stand this woman.
"Political Commissar Cao, you see, she said this to me in front of so many people. I really can't live like this anymore." Zeng Wei had a sad face, with scratches from his fingernails on his face.
"Zeng Wei, I tell you, there's no way you can get a divorce," Liu Cuihua said loudly.
"I tell you, if you dare to divorce my daughter, I will kill you." He Shuangjiang pointed at Zeng Wei and said.
"He Shuangjiang, do you know what you are saying?" Political Commissar Cao pointed at him.
"Political Commissar Cao, you see, I really don't dare to stay here." Zeng Wei hid behind Political Commissar Cao, looking scared.
"Are you guys like a wife, mother-in-law, or father-in-law?" Zhou Weihong said. She had never seen such a family before.
These days, divorce is not something you can get just like that, especially if you are a soldier.
But Zeng Wei is a soldier, and Political Commissar Cao has to ensure his personal safety.
"Zeng Wei, please move to the dormitory. Write a report about your demands and give it to me. We will submit it and wait for notification from above." Political Commissar Cao said to Zeng Wei.
"Thank you, Political Commissar Cao." Zeng Wei hurried into the house to pack his things.
"Zeng Wei, you are not allowed to leave." He Huilan ran to pull him back, but failed to stop him.
How could Zeng Wei listen to her? He didn't have much stuff, just a few sets of military uniforms, so he packed up and left quickly.
"Before the results come out from above, you cannot harass Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng. Brigade Commander He should know the rules." Political Commissar Cao looked at He Shuangjiang.
He Shuangjiang didn't say anything. He knew very well that as long as Zeng Wei submitted a report, the divorce would be final.
"Dad, I don't want a divorce, I don't want it." He Huilan started crying after seeing Zeng Wei leave.
When the people around saw Political Commissar Cao and Zhou Weihong leave, they also dispersed.
The news soon spread throughout the family compound, and everyone was deeply saddened.
In the afternoon, Liu Qian took Luo Yumei and Li He to Lin Momo's house, and the four of them sat in the main room eating melon seeds.
"Why is Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng suddenly so tough this time?" Liu Qian really didn't understand. She lived next door to the He family, but she had seen Zeng Wei swallow his anger many times.
"It should be because of that educated youth named 깊." Luo Yumei said casually. After all, others didn't know, but they knew.
"That's true love." Lin Momo sighed.
Li He looked at her with a mysterious smile, which made her feel a little strange. "What's the matter?"
"Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng is not eligible to accompany the army now. Why do you think he is so anxious?"
"No way." The three of them said in unison.
