Chapter 865: Enemies 1
Before the troops came to talk to Jin Hong, Lu Zhaodi came over.
She found Lu Jiang and Zheng Xuefeng and got straight to the point, "I want to know what kind of instructions were issued by the higher-ups that made Jin Hong want to divorce me regardless of revolutionary feelings."
"Do you know that Jin Hong has filed a divorce report?" Zheng Xuefeng was very surprised. He thought Jin Hong had only filed an application report.
After all, if the troops do not agree, Jin Hong’s plan will be in vain.
"He told me that he wanted to divorce me!" Lu Zhaodi burst into tears. "Army Commander, Political Commissar Zheng, do you think he is a human being? He has been in the army for so many years, and I stayed at home to take care of the old and the young. At first, I took care of his parents and his younger siblings. Zhaodi was born several years after we got married, so she was the last one to come. I have put in so much energy and hard work. A few years ago, there was a famine, and his parents had to eat rice and noodles, while Zhaodi and I had to eat bran and vegetables. We finally waited for the opportunity to join the army, and we have never had a good day since we came here, and now he wants to divorce me! He keeps saying things like obeying orders from above, and I am confused. Do the above teach people below to abandon their wives?"
Lu Jiang said nothing.
Just because he and Feng Qingxue didn't seek revenge on Lu Zhaodi didn't mean they had forgotten what she had done. Her gossip almost brought disaster to their family. How could they forgive her?
No matter how pitiful Lu Zhaodi was, Lu Jiang could not feel any sympathy for her.
Of course, he was also very dissatisfied with Jin Hong's actions. He knew that the senior generals of the army had held a meeting and tried their best to obey the orders from above without affecting the morale of the army. Such behavior that destroyed the revolutionary feelings was not allowed. What was he trying to do? Didn't he know that if he divorced in this name, he would be setting a precedent? What if others followed suit?
We are now in a chaotic and strange era. The outside world is simply crazy. Lu Jiang himself can hardly control the situation in the army. What's more, Ye Zhengjun and the deputy commander have both gone to the capital and there has been no news at all.
Seeing that Lu Jiang didn't speak, Zheng Xuefeng asked himself, "Comrade Lu Zhaodi, did Jin Hong tell you about divorce?"
Lu Zhaodi nodded and choked up, "Yes, he said it, he insisted on divorcing me, saying that he had to obey orders and break my feudal old ideas. I said, some time before the Army Commander and his men went on vacation, why did Jin Hong always find fault with me and scold me at every turn? It turns out that he wanted to divorce me at that time, but he just didn't have a good excuse!"
"Preferring sons over daughters is indeed an old feudal ideology." Zheng Xuefeng said something quite pertinent. "If you had not always favored sons over daughters, how could you have left Comrade Jin Hong with such a handle?"
So, Lu Zhaodi brought this upon herself. The army had talked to her and told her many times that women hold up half the sky, but she didn't listen.
Of course, the main reason for the divorce is Jin Hong. Zheng Xuefeng will not favor Jin Hong just because he is a soldier.
Lu Zhaodi burst into tears and said, "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, can't I change? Knowing one's mistakes is the best way to improve. I will change, I will change. I don't favor boys over girls, I treat everyone equally! Don't think I have always had old ideas. I have also suffered from favoring boys over girls. I have made up my mind to treat my children equally!"
"Then why have you always favored boys over girls since you came here? Why is it so obvious?" Zheng Xuefeng asked.
