Jiang Hong came to the army wearing fashionable clothes, which attracted a lot of attention.
Ding Peizhi and Zheng Baozhu knew that she disliked the fishy smell on them, so they didn't take the initiative to talk to her.
Other military wives greeted her but were ignored and didn't say anything more to her.
When Zhao Li saw Jiang Hong's dress, she knew at first glance that her family lived well, so she tried to curry favor with her in the hope of gaining some benefits from her.
Jiang Hong had been here for a week and she only liked Zheng Baozhu a little. However, Zheng Baozhu was busy with purchasing and shipping goods and looking for orders every day and had no time to chat with her. When Jiang Hong greeted her, she just nodded and smiled and left.
Zhao Li said at the side: "Zheng Baozhu is from Beijing."
Jiang Hong said: "I can see that her temperament is different."
Zhao Li asked: "You've been here for a week, don't you want to find a job and earn some money?"
"Lao Wei is looking for one for me. He said it's a factory in town, and I'll be working in the warehouse. I'll start working the day after tomorrow."
Zhao Li enviously said, "This is a good job, respectable and leisurely."
Jiang Hong said indifferently: "This is not a good job. It's far worse than when I was at my mother's house."
"What do you do in your mother's house?"
"I work behind the accountant. If I hadn't joined the army, I would have been an accountant in no time."
"That's a shame, but it's not a good idea for a couple to live apart. We still have to follow the army."
"My mom said the same thing. It's so annoying. I don't like this place at all."
"I think it's OK."
"You are from the countryside, right? People like you who are used to doing rough work don't care where you go. But I am different. I have never suffered."
Zhao Li has always felt inferior because she was born in the countryside. Jiang Hong touched her sore spot all of a sudden. She felt very upset and went back silently.
…
Captain Wei found a job for Jiang Hong, but after only two days of work, Jiang Hong complained that the job was too far and was unwilling to go.
"I spend two hours on the road every day. There is no dormitory in the factory. I am exposed to the wind and sun every day, and my skin is rough."
Captain Wei felt sorry for his wife, so he said, "Why don't you just stop working? If you get pregnant, you'll have to resign and you'll have to take care of the child in the future."
Jiang Hong said unhappily: "Giving birth will deform my body, I won't give birth to a child!"
Captain Wei coaxed, "Okay, we won't have any children."
…
When the military wives are at work, they gossip while they work.
Zhao Li was puzzled as to why Jiang Hong was so much younger than Captain Wei.
Feng Ying said: "Captain Wei is married for the second time. His previous wife is in his hometown and she even came to the army once."
Zheng Baozhu also became interested and came over: "Tell me more about it."
It turned out that after Captain Wei joined the army, his family arranged a marriage for him and found a wife for him.
Captain Wei was against arranged marriages, and he did not consummate the marriage with his wife. He also advised her to marry someone else.
His wife is an honest person. She thinks divorce is shameful, so she stays at home to take care of her parents-in-law.
The parents-in-law are very satisfied with their daughter-in-law, but it is not a big deal that their son has not consummated his marriage with her.
Therefore, when Captain Wei came home to visit his relatives, the old couple arranged for the two to get married.
Battalion Commander Wei found out the next day and was so angry that he immediately returned to the army.
Ten months later, his wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The old couple was very happy. They thought that since the children were born, their son should not resist this time, so they asked their daughter-in-law to come to the army to find their son.
But Captain Wei was determined to say that this was an arranged marriage and that he was being plotted against, and he strongly demanded a divorce.
At that time, Political Commissar Qiu came to persuade him not to divorce for the sake of the lovely twin boy and girl.
But Captain Wei had made up his mind, and his wife agreed, so he took his two children back to his hometown.
Zhao Li heard this and said thankfully, "Why is Captain Wei such a person? In comparison, I think our old Zhou is really good to me. At least he doesn't look down on me because I'm from the countryside."
Li Na said: "Captain Zhou is from the countryside himself. If he despises you, he despises himself."
Zheng Baozhu asked: "They are divorced, so they don't want the twins anymore?"
Ding Peizhi said: "Although his ex-wife returned to her hometown, she still lived in the Wei family and was adopted by the old couple. Captain Wei sent money back on time every month, but he never returned to his hometown."
Feng Ying said: "I guess, they have to acknowledge the child. If Captain Wei doesn't want the child, the woman has to keep the child. If the woman remarries, the child has to change her surname. Who can bear to give up those two lovely children?
If a man doesn't like you, no matter how capable you are, it's useless. I heard that Captain Wei fell in love with his current wife at first sight after meeting her once, and he paid a lot of gifts to marry her. "
Everyone felt sorry for Captain Wei’s ex-wife.
…
After returning home, Zheng Baozhu mentioned this matter to Song Zhiting in a casual chat.
Song Zhiting said: "I tried to persuade Lao Wei at first, but he said that he had worked hard all his life and just wanted to find a woman he loved to spend his life with, and he didn't want to settle for anything less."
Zheng Baozhu asked him: "If you encounter such a thing, what would you do?"
Song Zhiting thought for a moment and said, "If I were in this situation, I would also file for divorce, but I would help the woman arrange everything and give her compensation."
Zheng Baozhu smiled and said, "That's how you planned to arrange me."
Song Zhiting hugged her and said, "We were equally matched at the beginning, so we were in sync with each other."
"What would you do if the woman got pregnant?"
"If you're pregnant, you have to take responsibility as a man."
"Even if you meet true love in the future, you won't get divorced?"
"As a married person, how could you still be attracted to someone else? That's immoral."
Song Zhiting just refused to explain. Through spending some time together, Zheng Baozhu also knew what kind of person he was.
