Before he could even write a report for his superiors to approve, Jiang Huaidong's discharge application was submitted first.
Fu Shen said calmly, "Sister Zhang told Yueyue that Su Xiaomei came to the army..."
After listening, Yang Guohua said calmly, "I think Su Xiaomei and Jiang Huaidong are a good match."
Fu Shen looked at him with a face full of doubt.
Yang Guohua picked up his cup, took a sip of water, and said, "Don't rush, let me finish telling you about Jiang Huaidong."
Fu Shen nodded: "Go ahead."
Yang Guohua slowly recounted the story of Su Xiaomei and Liu Meili causing a scene at the engagement banquet in Jianghuai East.
Su Xiaomei and Liu Meili were personally escorted to the provincial capital by Public Security Officer Chen; otherwise, the two women wouldn't have been able to enter the military region at all.
After letting the two of them in, Liu Meili saw Jiang Huaidong standing with a woman toasting someone else. She was even more agitated than Su Xiaomei. She rushed up angrily and first slapped the stunned Jiang Huaidong hard across the face. Then, she adopted the unreasonable demeanor of a rural woman in the village and started shouting loudly, saying that Jiang Huaidong had a wife at home who had come looking for him but had disappeared. She claimed that he had promised to find her.
The police said they never saw him report the case; it turns out he'd climbed the social ladder and was now trying to be a spineless coward.
Deputy Commander Zhou stepped forward to dissuade her, telling her to speak properly.
Liu Meili had no idea that the person in front of her was the "high branch" she had mentioned. She angrily said to the person, "If your daughter marries a man and he asks her to stay at home to serve his parents, and your son-in-law finds someone outside who is better off than your daughter, can you talk to him properly then? You'll never know the pain until you experience it yourself."
Seeing that things were not going well, everyone awkwardly greeted Deputy Commander Zhou and hurriedly left.
They simply couldn't bear to see Deputy Commander Zhou's family affairs.
As soon as everyone left, the once lively and bustling place was instantly left with only Su Xiaomei and a few others, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet and desolate.
Jiang Huaidong explained to Deputy Commander Zhou that he and Su Xiaomei had not filed a marriage report, and procedurally speaking, Su Xiaomei was not his wife at all.
His words were full of excuses, claiming that their being together at the time was a completely accidental mistake.
He even pretended to be troubled, saying that he had thought about living a good life with Su Xiaomei, but for some reason, he just couldn't do it deep down.
He didn't want to report the incident because he had a negative and resigned expression on his face, confidently stating that the person was lost and would definitely not be found again.
Moreover, he admitted that he really didn't want to face this absurd and unreal marital relationship, so he chose to evade his due responsibilities.
Deputy Commander Zhou had no intention of listening to Jiang Huaidong's sophistry and directly ordered him to leave immediately with his mother-in-law and wife.
Upon hearing her father's words, Zhou Xinran blushed with anxiety and said that she had decided on Jiang Huaidong for the rest of her life.
Upon hearing Zhou Xinran's heartfelt and resolute words, Jiang Huaidong's face immediately showed a relieved expression, and his heart calmed down.
He solemnly assured Deputy Commander Zhou that he would definitely handle the matter well.
His proposed solution was to offer Su Xiaomei a sum of money as compensation.
Su Xiaomei was filled with anger and resentment and resolutely refused, while Liu Meili's eyes lit up and she agreed without hesitation.
After Liu Meili received the money, she ignored Su Xiaomei's crying and fussing.
Although she was tricked into going elsewhere and disappeared for a while, and her reputation may not be very good, she is still very young, while there are plenty of older men who can't find wives.
She also said that the woman Jiang Huaidong wanted to marry was someone she couldn't compete with, and even if she did, it wouldn't matter, because Jiang Huaidong didn't like her.
