“Pearl, when Bingchen comes home to visit his family next time, I’ll ask him what his plans are for your future. You’ve been married for over seven years, and living apart all this time isn’t a good thing,” Zhao Qingshan sighed.
Zhao Qingshan had always hoped that Zhao Zhenzhu could take her child and live with Zhou Bingchen in the army.
Zhao Qingshan had served in the military for over a decade and had developed a keen eye for people.
Zhou Bingchen was a natural-born soldier.
A country boy with no connections, he became a battalion commander before he was even thirty. If he continues in the army and works hard, who knows, he might even rise to regimental or divisional commander?
But now, Zhao Qingshan is wavering.
Life is too hard for military wives.
After Zhao Zhenzhu married Zhou Bingchen, she never had a good day.
Zhou Bingchen was away defending the country. Zhao Zhenzhu had to raise her child and earn work points to support herself and her two children all by herself. She worked just as hard as Zhou Bingchen.
If Zhou Bingchen comes back this time and still says he can't accompany the soldier, Zhao Qingshan would rather Zhou Bingchen be discharged and go home to find a job.
The couple works together to earn money and raise their child, which makes Zhao Zhenzhu's life much easier.
"Mom and Dad, I will also let Bingchen decide as soon as possible."
Hopefully, Zhou Bingchen can get a divorce soon and choose to live happily ever after with his young widow lover.
Zhao Zhenzhu didn't say the last sentence.
In the eyes of Zhao Qingshan and his wife, Zhou Bingchen is still a good husband.
Zhao Zhenzhu said that Zhou Bingchen was having an affair, but Zhao Qingshan and the others definitely didn't believe it.
Instead of wasting time talking, let the facts speak for themselves.
"Sister, I think your husband isn't honest. He's been a battalion commander for almost two years now, and he should have been able to get married to his unit last year, but he didn't mention it at all when he came back. Could he be having an affair?" Zhao Tianyu said angrily.
Zhao Tianyu has truly begun to suspect Zhou Bingchen.
This morning, Zhao Tianyu chatted with several people.
Everyone says that if a man truly likes a woman, he'll be willing to spend money on her. The same goes for women; if a woman likes a man, she'll be both gentle and considerate in his presence.
Zhao Tianyu wholeheartedly agreed.
Over the years, hasn't he spent all his money on the people he loves? His parents, sister, Xiaohe, and his nephews and nieces.
Where is my brother-in-law?
He gave all his money to his mother, Ding Ermei.
My sister has never received a single penny from her husband over the years, except for when she got married.
This suggests that the brother-in-law only loves his mother and doesn't truly love his sister.
"Pfft!" Zhao Zhenzhu couldn't help but laugh when she heard Zhao Tianyu's "reason".
Zhao Zhenzhu thought her younger brother was really cute.
She was unsure how to tell her parents about the divorce when her younger brother offered her a way out.
"What are you laughing at? Are you stupid? If Bingchen really has someone else outside, you should be crying." Wu Meiyun slapped Zhao Zhenzhu in annoyance, then turned to scold Zhao Tianyu: "Can't you be serious for once? How can you make jokes like this? Bingchen is an honest boy, he won't have any ulterior motives."
"Mom, don't scold Xiaoyu. You can know a person's face but not their heart. If Bingchen really doesn't want us anymore, then you'll be the only ones I can rely on." Zhao Zhenzhu deliberately looked at Wu Meiyun with pitiful eyes.
"If he really dares to do this, I'll beat him to a pulp!" Before Wu Meiyun could speak, Zhao Qingshan flew into a rage.
"Dad, I was just joking, please don't be angry." Zhao Tianyu panicked when he saw the veins bulging on Zhao Qingshan's forehead.
Why is he so oblivious to his father's bad words about his brother-in-law?
His father treated his brother-in-law much better than his own son.
"Hmph! If Bingchen really changes his mind, I'll break your legs." Zhao Qingshan glared at Zhao Tianyu and said fiercely.
"Dad, that's not reasonable of you. My brother-in-law did something wrong, shouldn't you break his legs?" Zhao Tianyu protested.
"You're talking nonsense. I'm in a bad mood, so who else should I hit if not you?" Zhao Qingshan arrogantly turned his head to the side.
He was afraid that if he looked at the poor kid again, he would lose control of his hands.
Why did Xiaoyu have to say that Zhou Bingchen is having an affair?
His daughter, Pearl, is beautiful, kind-hearted, hardworking, and capable... (hundreds of words of adjectives omitted). If Zhou Bingchen dares to change his mind, he will risk his life to make Zhou Bingchen pay!
"Xiaoyu, your joke hurt your sister's fragile heart. Until your brother-in-law comes back, I'll stay at my parents' house with the kids, eating and drinking at your place. You can't complain, okay?" Zhao Zhenzhu joked with her brother.
"No problem, sis. Even if you and your husband get divorced, you won't go hungry. I have a high salary; I can easily support you and your nephew and niece for the rest of your lives," Zhao Tianyu assured her, patting his chest.
Liang Xiaohe couldn't help but kick Zhao Tianyu.
Liang Xiaohe wouldn't even be willing to raise Zhao Zhenzhu for a month or two, let alone for a lifetime.
Zhao Tianyu moved a few steps away, ignoring Liang Xiaohe.
What's wrong?
How dare Liang Xiaohe even bother with him? All she does is scheme against him and his family's money. A woman like that should just stand aside and cool off!
“Pearl, every couple has their little disagreements. As long as Bingchen isn’t unfaithful and treats you well, you can make it work. After you join the army, you’ll live far away from Bingchen, so you don’t need to worry about your mother-in-law and the others. Don’t let your brother lead you astray and make you talk about divorce all the time,” Wu Meiyun said.
Wu Meiyun's thinking reflects the ideas of the older generation.
Once you get married, you're committed to spending your whole life together.
Divorce is only considered if the couple grows to loathe each other.
