Chapter 199: Getting bolder, daring to challenge Han Suijing
Although Zhai Ximo had served in the army for several years, he could not remain calm when encountering such things and could not tolerate the slightest injustice.
Ignoring his elder brother's dissuasion, he slammed the door and went downstairs in anger.
"Bang!"
Wang Ziru was lying on the bed. She heard the sound of a door closing outside. No need to ask, it must be the man going out.
The kid in my arms was very naughty, moving around and blinking in the dark. After a while, he said cautiously, "Dad is angry. Will he not register me and send me to kindergarten?"
"He dares." Wang Ziru hugged her son tightly, pecked the boy's warm forehead a few times, and said softly: "Tomorrow mom will go to the town primary school to register you, buy you a new schoolbag, and buy you some picture books."
Baoer immediately hugged her mother's neck, rubbed her cheek, and said happily: "Aunt Xueru also bought me a picture book."
"Really? By the way, you and uncle helped out at Cheng's house during the day, right?"
"Well, Aunt Xueru also asked you to take some time to go to Li Village. She wants to ask how to hold the wedding banquet for her and Uncle."
Thinking of her uncle's marriage, Wang Ziru was not so angry. No matter what, this family could not be broken up. She was the backbone of this family. If she and Zhai Ximo really got into trouble, her uncle's marriage would also be ruined.
She thought about it and realized that both her uncle and Cheng Xueru were getting married for the second time, so she could just invite the elders and villagers of Li Village to a banquet.
There is no need to specially invite people from the army, unless they are individual soldiers with whom Cheng Xueru feels she has a good relationship, so as to avoid people making random comments when they get married.
"Go to bed quickly. Get up early tomorrow and go to the town to register after breakfast. Then go to Li Village to discuss the wedding banquet with Aunt Xueru..." Wang Ziru yawned, not knowing whether the 250 yuan she borrowed would be enough to cover her expenses.
Thinking of the borrowed money, Wang Ziru felt indescribably grateful to Commander Duan. He lent her such a large sum of several hundred yuan without any hesitation.
Next time I see him, I must be nicer to him.
Commander Duan's rough face and his signature voice come to mind. Commander Duan is actually a nice guy...
On the fourth floor, Zhang Kang’s home.
When the couple finally returned from the Wen family, they heard faint noises coming from the Zhai family.
Zhang Kang stood in the corridor with his hands in his pockets, even more irritable than Zhai Ximo.
He also didn't know which gossipy woman leaked the news. Not many people knew that Wen Yiting and Zhai Ximo were close when they were studying in Kun District. Could it be that Wen Yiting was so stupid as to tell Wang Ziru herself?
"Why don't you come in? What are you doing standing outside?" Zhu Yan opened the door and went into the house. Returning to her own little space, her tense nerves finally relaxed.
Zhang Kang turned around to look at his wife with a worried look on his face, then followed her into the house and closed the door behind him.
"Bao'er's mother is such a terrible person! Stay away from her in the future and don't be influenced by her." After Zhang Kang entered the house, he immediately warned his newlywed wife and sat down on the chair.
"Hiss..." Zhu Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Then he sat on a chair next to him, staring at Zhang Kang speechlessly, "You all think that Sister Ziru is looking for trouble, but you don't know that Wen Yiting went to find Sister Ziru herself and said in person that she and Zhai Ximo had been dating for several years, and even asked Sister Ziru when she would get divorced!"
"Ah? No, Wen Yiting is still a college student. I think she has a fool in her head. She thinks Wang Ziru is a country woman who knows nothing and is easy to bully?!" Zhang Kang was shocked.
Zhu Yan pounded her legs in anger, looking at Zhang Kang with hatred, "We didn't realize before that your old classmate was actually having an affair outside. Zhang Kang, listen to me, if you dare to have an affair outside..."
Before his wife could finish her words, Zhang Kang reached out with his thick palm and covered Zhu Yan's mouth.
"You don't need to warn me. I, Zhang Kang, am not that kind of frivolous man! Besides, I know myself well. I am not as good-looking as Lao Zhai, so I am not popular with women outside. You can rest assured about this."
"Humph!" Seeing the man eager to express his feelings, Zhu Yan's restless heart gradually calmed down, and then asked: "Is the matter between Zhai Ximo and Wen Yiting true?"
Zhang Kang's fat face was worried. He withdrew his palm and sighed:
"Wen Yiting did have that intention. The Wen couple knew about it all along. They also didn't agree with their outstanding daughter liking a married man. But Wen Yiting didn't want to do it. She was studying in Kunqu for a few years, and it just so happened that Lao Zhai went to the military academy, so the two of them became close."
"No wonder Sister Ziru is so mad! How far have they come now? They have never slept together, have they?"
Seeing his wife's expectant look, Zhang Kang said unhappily, "I have been staying in Xiong District and have not gone to Kun District to study at the military academy with Lao Zhai. How would I know the specific extent of their relationship? But if Bao'er's mother asks you about this, you must say you don't know."
After a while, Zhu Yan put away her curious eyes and kicked him, "All men are bad."
"No, it's not like I'm having an affair with another woman out there. Why should I suffer because of what Old Zhai did?" Zhang Kang held his leg that was hurt by the kick, feeling miserable.
Zhang Kang knew very well that since Wang Ziru already knew the delicate relationship between Wen Yiting and Zhai Ximo, she would definitely not let them go easily.
Besides, Zhai Ximo and Wen Yuan still have to explain everything to the leader tomorrow.
He has to help his old classmates and comrades-in-arms.
"I just saw Lao Zhai go downstairs. Such a big thing has happened. I can't just watch Lao Zhai get sucked into the whirlpool. We have special identities. If we are not careful, our future will be ruined. Yan'er, you go to sleep first. I will go downstairs and ask him what the situation is."
"Come back soon."
Zhu Yan then got up and went out, watching her husband run downstairs, her brows furrowed.
She had already regarded Wang Ziru as a good sister and did not want the Zhai family to get into trouble.
But when she thought of the collapse of the Wen couple on the fifth floor just now, Zhu Yan didn't dare to think too deeply. Maybe tonight was just the beginning.
It all depends on how the new chief handles this matter tomorrow.
…
The next day, the sky outside the window gradually brightened.
Wang Ziru woke up early and got up with the child. Her uncle had already lit the stove.
A pot of water is boiled in the pot, ready to cook the noodles.
"Uncle, where is my dad? Is he still not awake?" Baoer followed her mother out of the house and saw her uncle standing in the corridor outside the door making breakfast, so she ran out to ask.
Zhai Qingsong turned around, looked at the mother and son, and walked into the house with Baoer, lowering his voice: "The third child may have to go out for exercise in the morning, so he got up early..."
"Hmph, he didn't go home last night, did he?" Although Wang Ziru was sleeping soundly, she still knew whether the door was open or not.
There was no movement at the outside gate all night.
It means that the man did not come back all night.
"Uh..." Zhai Qingsong knew that his sister-in-law was smart and could not hide anything from her, so he had to admit, "He has a single dormitory, and he might have stayed there last night."
Wang Ziru's face suddenly turned cold, and she couldn't help but curse, "This bastard, his family members have joined the army but he still lives in a single dormitory. Isn't he just asking for trouble?"
"Don't be angry, sister-in-law. I'll persuade him again. The third child is still too young to understand these things."
Zhai Qingsong tried his best to persuade his brother and his wife, hoping that they could reconcile quickly.
As he said this, he went into the house and took out a handful of noodles and two eggs, placed them on the stool at the door, and then took Bao'er by the arm, "Let's go to the bathroom with uncle."
The little guy obediently held his uncle's hand, and the two of them went to the men's restroom on the other side of the corridor.
Wang Ziru stood at the door and watched her uncle taking the child to the toilet. In the corridor, military wives got up one after another to cook. When they saw Zhai Qingsong leading his nephew, they couldn't help but look towards the Zhai family, but found Wang Ziru standing at her door as if nothing had happened.
The women quickly withdrew their inquiring eyes.
The military single dormitory at this moment.
Zhai Ximo had just come out of his single dormitory and was still locking the door when he looked up and saw a sturdy figure coming out of one of the dormitories across from him.
When he saw the man clearly, he was stunned.
Han Suijing felt the gazes behind him, turned around slowly, and saw a man who looked like he had just come out of the dormitory, with his military uniform shirt unbuttoned.
Below the dormitory building is a large training ground. At this time, a large number of soldiers have already started training.
It seemed quite lively.
"You... stayed in the dormitory last night?" Han Suijing walked over slowly and asked.
Zhai Ximo closed the door of the dormitory and immediately felt the strong pressure from Han Suijing. He stood up straight and saluted: "Report to the chief, I, I watched a movie too late yesterday, so I stayed in this dormitory."
Han Suijing looked at the man in front of him meaningfully. He once thought that he was a very remarkable man.
If he wasn't so outstanding, why would Wang Ziru kick him out and marry an unknown boy?
In fact, at this moment he seemed to understand that some marriages are the result of impulse.
He almost dared to say that Wang Ziru was not happy after marrying Zhai Ximo, and that she was just forcing everything.
Zhai Ximo carefully raised his eyes and looked at the leader, "What I said is true..."
A long while seemed like a century had passed.
Han Suijing looked at Zhai Ximo expressionlessly and asked directly, "You went home to visit your relatives this year. Did you plan to go back and get a divorce?"
"No, no, no, I don't have that thought."
Zhai Ximo hastily denied it. Even if he had ten thousand times the courage, he would not dare to admit that he had indeed thought about divorce.
After having a child, he really stopped having these crazy thoughts.
He was not such a bastard father. When he returned to his hometown and saw his child living such a miserable life with his mother, he felt remorseful and guilty.
So no matter what, he won't have any other thoughts.
But Han Suijing had already noticed the other party's evasive look for a short moment, and said in a stern voice: "You'd better not have any other ideas!"
After saying this, Han Suijing turned around and strode towards the stairs.
Seeing that the other party did not embarrass him, Zhai Ximo became braver. He quickly followed and asked loudly: "Are you still thinking about her in your heart?"
Jianshuo, who was about to go downstairs, stopped.
Han Suijing turned around suddenly, his face expressionless, and paused, "What do you mean?"
"Do you still want to rekindle your old relationship with her? Don't be so quick to deny it, I can see it! There is no need for you to come all the way from Kunqu District to this small place. Commander Duan can easily transfer a division commander from somewhere else to manage the Ninth Division. So, are you eager for us to get divorced?"
