Yuan Anbin was originally eating in the cafeteria after get off work. When the second battalion commander returned home and heard his wife Xu Lu tell him about what happened in the afternoon, he hurried to the cafeteria to pull him back. On the way, he told him all the trouble that Qian Pozi and her daughter had caused in the afternoon, and asked him to come back to take care of the family affairs.
Yuan Anbin didn't go home this time, but went straight to Political Commissar Zhao's house. Seeing Lu Jingchuan there, he entered the house, bowed to them, and said, "Political Commissar, I want to divorce Chen Eryan. I'm submitting a divorce application now. Could you please approve it immediately?"
"Are you sure?"
Yuan Anbin was also promoted by Political Commissar Zhao. He has outstanding overall personal abilities and positive ideas, but his marriage and family are the only things holding him back.
"Sure."
Yuan Anbin had been thinking about divorce for a long time. He didn't mention it before because he considered his son was still young and thought that divorce would cause the greatest harm to the child.
But just now on the way back, the second battalion commander said that if they continued like this, his son would learn bad habits from them, learn to steal things from a young age, and when he grows up he will become even worse and become just like them. By then, a good child will be corrupted by them.
The second battalion commander's words woke him up like a wake-up call, and made him determined to get a divorce.
Thinking of what the mother and daughter had done, Yuan Anbin felt exhausted and helpless. "Political Commissar, please approve it for me. I'll also take another week off so I can get my mother to come and take care of Gangzi."
He had asked Chen Eryan to bring her child to join the army, but did not ask her mother-in-law to come. She came by herself.
In the past two years, he has thought of many ways to send his mother-in-law back home, but she is a stubborn person and refuses to go back. She throws a tantrum and insists on staying with him for food, drink, and toilet. What's even more hateful is that she has taken all his salary and allowances.
It was because he later discovered that all his wages and allowances were sent back to the Chen family by the mother and daughter that he became completely disappointed with Chen Eryan.
He hasn't spoken to Chen Eryan for two months, didn't go back to his hometown for the New Year, and didn't give them his salary for the past two months. In fact, there is no need for their marriage to continue.
However, he did not tell these to Political Commissar Zhao and others. He drafted a divorce certificate on the spot and asked the political commissar to approve it for him.
When he returned home with the divorce certificate, Qian Pozi and Chen Eryan threw a tantrum on the spot, rolling on the ground and howling and cursing as usual, but he ignored them, took his son away and sent him to the home of the second battalion commander, took money and food and asked Xu Lu to take care of him for a few days.
Yuan Anbin's attitude was tougher than ever at this time. He personally dragged the mother and daughter out of the door, packed up their simple luggage and threw it all out, called two soldier brothers for help, and drove them away before dinner time.
After watching the jeep leave, each family went back to their houses to have dinner. Gong Linglong and the others had just been watching the excitement at the door, and now they also went back to their houses.
She scooped up the fish stew in the pot and saw Lu Jingchuan coming in. She whispered to him, "Why did they get divorced all of a sudden? What did you say when you went over there?"
"Before I even had the chance to speak, Yuan Anbin had already wanted a divorce. This was the spark that set it off."
Lu Jingchuan was worried that she might feel overwhelmed, so he advised, "It has nothing to do with us. Don't overthink it. Yuan Anbin is a decent guy. He's a straightforward person. It's best if he and Chen Eryan get divorced. It will only benefit him."
Gong Linglong understood that Chen Eryan was not only disliked by her family members, but also by the military leaders. They probably felt sorry for Yuan Anbin for having such a mediocre wife, and everyone was happy with the divorce this time.
"Have a meal."
The couple brought all the hot dishes from the stove to the living room. Lu Jingyang took bowls and chopsticks to fill with rice, and everyone sat around the table and started eating.
The dishes for dinner were all on the lighter side, with only the twice-cooked pork and fish offal having chopped peppers. The taste was even better than expected, and even Lu Jingyang praised it repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, this fish offal is well cooked. I usually don't eat fish offal because it always tastes fishy. Now it seems that Mom doesn't know how to cook it."
Zhou Lanqin smiled and said, "You two brothers are all familiar with my cooking skills. I only ensure that it is clean and cooked. I don't care about anything else."
Bai Shuixian also felt that her daughter's cooking skills had improved, but before, she was only fed with thin porridge and pickles every day at the Bai family, and there was no food for her to use. It was only because she now had delicious dishes that her hidden cooking skills came out.
"Mother-in-law, Jingyang, this twice-cooked pork is slightly spicy and goes well with rice. You should eat more and mix it with rice." Bai Shuixian greeted them.
"Okay, Aunt Bai, you eat too." Lu Jingyang responded politely.
Gong Linglong cooked a lot of rice in the evening. She didn't add brown rice, but pure white rice, specifically for her mother-in-law and brother-in-law to eat before they left.
After dinner, Lu Jingchuan helped pack his luggage. Gong Linglong came out of the room with a bag of fruit and whispered to him, "Brother Jing, put this bag of apples, rock sugar mandarins, and oranges in the suitcase so Mom and Jingyang can take them back to Kyoto."
"When did you buy it?" Lu Jingchuan looked up at her.
"Mom went to the city today and brought it back." Gong Linglong lied.
Bai Shuixian happened to be nearby. Seeing her trying to trick her into lying, she smiled slightly and said to her son-in-law, "Jingchuan, we haven't prepared anything fancy. These rock sugar mandarins and oranges are southern fruits and taste pretty good. Let your mother-in-law take them and eat them slowly on the way."
"good."
Lu Jingchuan stuffed all the fruits into the box. After his mother packed the braised fish with pork and lotus root to take away, he immediately went out to borrow a jeep.
Zhou Lanqin didn't let Bai Shuixian see her off. The two mothers-in-law chatted for a while before parting. She then went to say goodbye to the military leaders briefly. After her son came back by car, she immediately picked up her luggage and set off.
Gong Linglong accompanied them to the train station and walked them all the way to the platform. She watched them get on the train before driving back to the family compound with Lu Jingchuan.
