Two unfamiliar faces suddenly appeared in the military family quarters, and they were going to Battalion Commander Qu's house. Naturally, the news spread quickly.
When Zhao Qinglan saw Battalion Commander Qu return with two people, she went to talk to Wu Mei.
Wu Mei had never met Battalion Commander Qu's family, so naturally she didn't know who they were.
However, thinking of Wei Hong, Zhao Qinglan quickly went to talk to Wei Hong.
Wei Hong happened to be free of class at the moment and was in her dormitory.
After listening to Zhao Qinglan's description, she said with some surprise, "The older one you mentioned should be my mother-in-law. As for the younger one, I don't know. Qu Jianshe has no sisters."
"Aren't they sisters? Then who could they be?" Zhao Qinglan, being worldly-wise, quickly began to think in the worst possible light.
However, now that Wei Hong wants to get rid of Battalion Commander Qu, she doesn't need to care what that young woman's motives are.
Therefore, she did not voice her guess.
Qu Jianshe had taken leave to come out, after all, his family had come all this way, and there was still some human touch in the military.
When Zhao Qinglan returned, that old lady Qu came to visit.
Battalion Commander Qu felt that Zhao Qinglan had "corrupted" his wife Wei Hong, which was why he disliked Zhao Qinglan so much.
When Grandma Qu learned that Wei Hong's divorce might be related to the military wife next door, she felt grateful to Zhao Qinglan.
After all, she had considered having her son remarry because her daughter-in-law was childless, but her son had always managed to fool her.
Upon learning that Li Huai held a high position, Old Madam Qu treated Zhao Qinglan even better.
So, I sent Zhao Qinglan some local specialties from my hometown.
Although Zhao Qinglan disliked Battalion Commander Qu, she had no real conflict with Old Madam Qu. Besides, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, so when someone brought her gifts, she couldn't refuse, but she also didn't want to owe them a favor, so she returned some of the gifts.
Grandma Qu felt even more that she was a good person.
Because Grandma Qu's idea had already softened Battalion Commander Qu's mind somewhat, he didn't rush to urge his elderly mother to go to the dormitory to find his wife, Wei Hong.
In the evening, Li Huai returned home from get off work, where Zhao Qinglan had already prepared a delicious meal. During the meal, they couldn't help but mention their neighbor next door.
Li Huai didn't pay much attention to the neighbors next door and just gave a casual reply.
He doesn't care as long as the other party doesn't disrupt his family's life.
After finishing her meal and cleaning up, Zhao Qinglan began asking for advice.
She encounters many problems when she studies by herself during the day.
These days, she got used to asking her husband for advice, and she also felt that Li Huai's explanation was good, so she didn't ask anyone else.
Unbeknownst to her, in order to be able to answer her questions at any time, Li Huai had secretly borrowed a set of junior high school textbooks and kept them in his office, studying them whenever he had free time.
In front of his wife, he still wanted to present himself as a rather imposing husband.
He felt a great sense of accomplishment every time he saw his wife's happy or admiring reaction after he answered her questions.
Next door, Zheng Xiufen slept alone that night, while Battalion Commander Qu and his mother shared a room, and the two talked a lot.
In the countryside, it's common for several generations to sleep on a single kang (heated brick bed), so it's not strange that the mother and son were sleeping together and talking.
After hearing his mother talk about how good Zheng Xiufen was, and how much his cousin Xiufen favored him, Battalion Commander Qu seemed to have regained his pride after these days of falling to rock bottom.
Yes, Mother is right. Wei Hong went to the checkup alone. Who knows if the test results she brought back were real or fake? Maybe she even fabricated them.
I'm sure I'll be fine.
Since Wei Hong doesn't want to be with me anymore, then so be it. It's fine for him to marry his distant cousin as his new wife.
Knowing that his distant cousin was still a virgin, Battalion Commander Qu became even more eager to make a move.
His mind changed in just one night.
In the morning, Wei Hong had just gotten up and stepped out of her dormitory when she saw her husband waiting outside.
"Why are you here?" she asked, frowning.
"Didn't you want a divorce? I agree."
Although she was surprised that her husband suddenly agreed, Wei Hong was still happy that he was willing to divorce.
The two immediately stopped taking off their clothes and went to their respective leaders to go through the procedures and complete the formalities.
Qu Jianshe's mother had just arrived when Qu Jianshe immediately agreed to a divorce, leading to speculation among the public.
Even Yang Qingmin was a little curious. When he asked, Qu Jianshe happily revealed that he was going to remarry and marry someone better.
Yang Qingmin felt a little envious. "This kid is so lucky."
Because both parties cooperated very well, they completed all the formalities in just half a day and went to the city to obtain their divorce certificates.
When Zhao Qinglan and Wu Mei learned of this, they were naturally very happy for Wei Hong, and the two immediately decided to have dinner together that evening to celebrate.
That evening, Sun Shengli and Li Huai didn't join the three women's celebration; they each ate their own food.
Because she was in a good mood, Wu Mei even brought some wine to share with them.
The celebration took place in Wei Hong's dormitory, and Zhao Qinglan couldn't help but ask Wei Hong about her future plans.
"I think I'm doing pretty well now. Even though I'm divorced, I still want to stay here." Wei Hong smiled, actually because she couldn't bear to part with Zhao Qinglan and the others.
After the divorce, she didn't want to go back to her parents' home and be disliked, so she preferred to stay outside.
Fortunately, everyone in the military knew why she got divorced, so she felt more comfortable staying there.
Thinking about the future trends, Zhao Qinglan couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Sister Wei Hong, if you can still concentrate on your studies, I suggest you look at your high school textbooks more often. Maybe one day the college entrance examination will be reinstated."
In fact, Wei Hong always admired Zhao Qinglan, who, despite not being highly educated, was able to tutor the children and was not afraid of hard work in self-study.
Now that she's divorced, she doesn't know what else she can do besides work. It seems like studying might be a good idea.
In fact, she didn't take Zhao Qinglan's talk about restoring the college entrance examination seriously.
Having had a few drinks, Zhao Qinglan and Wu Mei were both a little tipsy when they returned together.
Looking at his wife like this, Li Huai was both annoyed and amused.
Drinking even though you shouldn't.
After Li Huai put her on the bed and brought over a hot towel to wipe her down, he heard her muttering something.
He brought his ear closer.
"Sister Wei Hong, you must listen to me. I know the college entrance exam will definitely be reinstated, really, it'll only be a year or two. I'm absolutely not lying to you. You have to study hard, study hard." As she spoke, she gradually fell silent.
Li Huai smiled at first, but after thinking about it for a while, his brows furrowed.
How could Qinglan be so sure that the college entrance examination would definitely be reinstated in the next year or two? Was she just talking nonsense while drunk, or did she have some kind of trump card?
No, no matter what the reason, I have to tell her tomorrow that she must never say such things in front of others.
After all, whether or not the college entrance examination will be reinstated is still uncertain, and even the higher-ups haven't made a statement yet. For her to casually mention it like that is just asking for trouble.
Sigh, this is really worrying. Looking at his wife's peaceful, sleeping face, his expression softened.
