Chapter 223 What If I Agree to Divorce?
"We have such a big country, are you still worried about not having a place to go? Don't feel sad for me, brother. I will come back to see you in the future."
Wang Ziru thought that by this time next year, her elder brother might become a father, and said with a smile: "Brother! I hope you can have your own children..."
"..." Zhai Qingsong's face turned red. Of course he wanted to do it.
Plastic sandals cost 1.3 yuan a pair. Wang Ziru picked out two pairs of sandals and went to the clothing store next door to buy two ready-made Dacron shirts.
This place is close to the military, and there are several factories in the town, so the store sells ready-made clothes.
But the Dacron plaid shirt is expensive, 12 yuan a piece.
But the newlyweds cannot wear thick clothes when getting married in this season, they must buy shirts.
Then the two of them went to a food store that sold alcohol, drinks and candy.
Various candies and foods are displayed in the glass counter. In addition to supplements like maltose and brown sugar, there are White Rabbit milk candies at 1.2 yuan per pound and fried dough twists at 10.6 cents per pound.
I bought two pounds of glutinous rice noodles, one pound of fried dough twist, and weighed a pound of White Rabbit milk candy.
I bought two bottles of sorghum liquor for 2 yuan.
There is also an enamel washbasin, thermos and enamel teacup.
Wang Ziru saw someone buying popsicles in the food store, "Brother, let's buy two popsicles too. Zhai Ximo has to pay for this anyway, so it would be a waste if we don't eat them."
The uncle who followed her was speechless and only wanted to earn money as soon as possible to return it to the third brother.
Wang Ziru bought all kinds of candies in one breath, and finally took two popsicles for 20 cents. When she came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Ziru licked the popsicles and felt much better.
On that day, the Cheng family invited two elders from the clan to dinner and welcomed the groom's family to come for the wedding ceremony, which means the man carried a bunch of gifts to the woman's house.
So when Wang Ziru and her uncle bought some things in town and returned to the Licun fork in the road, Wang Ziru waited at the fork in the road and asked her uncle to go back to the military compound to get a bag of rice and 5 kilograms of rapeseed oil.
She was also about to divorce Zhai Ximo, and she couldn't finish the 100 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of rapeseed oil that Commander Duan rewarded her with last time.
This kind of thing is not convenient to carry far away, so it can be added to the gift list when my eldest brother-in-law gets married.
When we arrived at Cheng's house, Cheng Xueru's two uncles were already sitting under the eaves chatting.
Seeing that they had finally arrived at the Cheng family, the two uncles stood up to greet them with joy on their faces.
After greeting Uncle Cheng, Wang Ziru asked her eldest uncle to put all the things she bought on the big table in the main room. All kinds of colorful festive items were placed in the main room, which made the room look festive and rich.
Cheng Xueru didn't expect that her sister-in-law Wang Ziru would do it so decently.
"Today is the gift-giving ceremony. I heard that the custom in your village is to give the bride price together with the wedding gift, right?" After arranging a pile of festive items on the table, Wang Ziru pulled Cheng Xueru aside and asked.
"Well, but...I heard that the betrothal money was borrowed?" Cheng Xueru asked with a red face.
"It's no problem! Then please invite both uncles and grandpa in, and we'll have a symbolic ceremony." Although Wang Ziru had never personally arranged a wedding, she understood this kind of thing after seeing it once in her hometown.
Grandpa Cheng and his two nephews walked into the main hall and saw that the big table was filled with gifts. The old man's face was filled with the honest smile of a farmer.
After some auspicious words,
Wang Ziru handed the 200 yuan betrothal gift wrapped in a new handkerchief to Grandpa Cheng and said with a smile, "Grandpa! This is a little gift from our Zhai family. I hope you don't mind it."
"I'm sorry to trouble you, but it's good to have this intention..." The old man couldn't say anything decent, and he kept praising his sister-in-law Wang Ziru for being virtuous and sensible.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. The army is currently trying to find a job for the military dependents in the family compound. We will definitely make sure that Big Brother is settled first!"
"That's great. Go back and tell your third son to come to the banquet the day after tomorrow."
Wang Ziru smiled warmly: "My family will definitely come to attend Big Brother and Xueru's wedding. Although we organized it simply, we have to invite everyone who should be invited."
"Yes, yes, yes. Xueru said she will go to the army tomorrow and notify a few comrades to come over for the feast."
"Okay! Then we need to invite a few ladies to come over and help prepare the banquet, right?"
Grandpa Cheng nodded and said, "Xueru will take care of these things, you don't have to worry about it. Bring the child over as well."
The two uncles of the Cheng family standing by were very satisfied with Zhai Qingsong. They also knew that his younger brother was a regiment commander in the Ninth Division and had hope of promotion in the future.
"I heard that your third son was promoted to deputy regiment commander this year? This young man is really capable. After graduating from military school, it looks like he will be promoted again in a year or two, right?"
Wang Ziru had no choice but to deal with this matter with a silly smile.
After having lunch at Cheng's house, Wang Ziru returned to the army alone. As soon as she entered the army gate, she saw Commander Duan head-on.
Wang Ziru didn't want to say hello to Commander Duan, but she felt guilty. He had helped her and sent her to the county town for medical treatment and IV drip. This kindness...
It's really not acceptable not to say hello.
"Commander Duan, are you taking a walk after dinner?" Wang Ziru was a little panicked, worried that Commander Duan would stop her and ask her about what happened last night.
Duan Yanzhi held a cigarette in his hand without making any movement.
The smile that used to shine on his face was no longer there, and the light in his eyes that flashed like a shooting star had disappeared.
Wang Ziru thought that the lion didn't even take her into consideration and smiled in her heart. Yes, a rural woman like her kept getting so close to Commander Duan, and many people in the army must have been talking about her behind her back.
She lowered her cheeks slightly and walked past him with interest.
"You're walking so fast, are you afraid that I'll ask you where you went last night?"
The rough man's very distinctive voice suddenly emerged from behind him.
Wang Ziru bit her lip, unsure whether Xiao Li had betrayed her. She paused and turned around, her almond eyes flickering slightly, "I just went out for a walk last night."
"Then explain to me, what does it mean that your man took the divorce papers and put them on Han Suijing's desk early in the morning?"
Wang Ziru's lips were pursed into a straight line, and she laughed out of anger at the man.
In the morning, Zhai Ximo went home specifically to inform her that he would submit a divorce report to the regiment headquarters today.
At that time, she made it very clear in front of her eldest uncle that her eldest brother and Cheng Xueru were about to get married, and she would let him file a divorce report after he got married.
She was still too naive, thinking that no matter how bad a man was, he would not see family affection so clearly.
He never would have expected that even though it was him who cheated, Zhai Ximo would go back to the regiment headquarters and write a divorce report and directly present it in front of Han Suijing.
Turning back, Wang Ziru raised her clear almond-shaped eyes slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes: "Has the chief approved it?"
"Do you think military marriage is a joke? He can get married or divorced whenever he wants?" Commander Duan thought his wife understood, so he whispered, "Where is the evidence you got from the guesthouse last night?"
Wang Ziru's eyes widened. It turned out that Commander Duan and Han Suijing knew about the scandal that happened last night? !
Now that you know, should you start settling accounts with her man?
"Why are you asking this?" After thinking all night, Wang Ziru had thought through the divorce. She just wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Wen Yiting and Teacher Wen. Without the support of Teacher Wen, Zhai Ximo would not be able to make any waves with his own abilities.
Moreover, she has to ask the man to pay child support every month, and touching his military rank will definitely involve his salary and income.
"Commander Duan, are you going to take away Zhai Ximo's military position?" Wang Ziru thought of the man's job in the army and looked at the tall man in front of her with some worry.
"This is the army's business!" Duan Yanzhi saw what his young wife meant, but even so, he still didn't think of interfering with her husband's job. "Give me the evidence, and I'll make the decision for you."
"What are you going to do?"
"Don't worry! Anyone who bullies you will be severely punished."
"Are you talking about Wen Yiting or her father?"
Duan Yanzhi closed her eyes and felt her head buzzing. Who could have expected that after what happened last night, she would still stand on the side of that scumbag.
Is this what is called love?
Wang Ziru was just about to go back to her family compound when the Han Suijing guard who was waiting for her at the regiment headquarters came down and asked her to go to the office to talk.
Maybe Han Suijing also wanted the evidence in her hand.
Following Han Suijing's guards upstairs and into the office, Wang Ziru felt that she had lost all face.
If she had followed her thoughts in her hometown, since she had already broken off the engagement with Han Suijing, no matter how powerful her ex-fiance was, she would still live wholeheartedly with Zhai Ximo.
Her life will become even more prosperous and will not be worse than if she married Han Suijing.
Han Suijing had been waiting for her for half a day. When he saw her finally appear unharmed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come and sit over there. I asked the guards to go to the family compound this morning, and they said you went to town to send your children to school." Han Suijing got up from his chair with a corrected fitness posture, walked out from behind the desk, and motioned for her to sit on the sofa to talk.
Wang Ziru nodded slightly, not daring to breathe, and walked to the sofa and sat down.
She looked at Han Suijing with sharp eyes, silently brewing tea, and then handed a cup of tea to her.
Han Suijing: "Drink tea."
"You called me over here to ask something..." Wang Ziru held the elegant little teacup in both hands and blew gently on the boiling tea with her mouth. She wanted to ask but didn't dare to face him directly.
"Zhai Ximo submitted a divorce report this morning. According to him, when you got married, you didn't have a deep understanding of each other! After five years, he felt that this marriage put a heavy pressure on him, so after discussing it with you, he divorced peacefully."
"Don't you understand me well? You thought about it for five years before deciding to divorce?" Wang Ziru's voice trembled slightly.
"What do you think?" Han Suijing raised his eyes and looked at his ex-fiancée who was sitting diagonally opposite him. Seeing that her eyes were red, he subconsciously didn't want to make things so difficult for her, but he still had to go through the necessary procedures.
The woman sitting on the sofa was almost frozen by the man's reason for divorce.
Han Suijing's sharp eyes were fixed on the little woman holding her breath on the sofa, and he waited patiently for her answer. After a while, he heard Wang Ziru softly ask, "If I agree, can the army immediately divorce us?"
