Chapter 169 Agrees to Their Divorce
"Wenrou, you dare hit me? This is a family compound, aren't you afraid I'll report you to Political Commissar Zhao?"
Sun Mei was beaten so badly that she couldn't fight back at all and could only cry "Waaah!" Even so, she was still being stubborn.
"Go, go now. Didn't you report me for abusing Xiao Yan? You're quite capable, aren't you? Let me see what else you're capable of!"
Wenrou completely disregarded Sun Mei's words; Sun Mei deserved the beating she received today.
If she hadn't brought the people from the research institute, this wouldn't have happened, and Xiao Yan wouldn't have been slapped by that crazy woman.
Furthermore, Xiao Yan is naturally sensitive and more mature than other children his age.
Although she didn't explicitly state the contents of the letter today, she felt that Xiao Yan must already know.
There's also the truth about Xiaoyan's parents' sacrifice. I wonder if he'll be saddened by this and think about those bad things from the past.
Thinking about this, her gentle face became even uglier.
Sun Mei is the kind of person who's always looking for trouble. She spread rumors about her and Ma Jun before, and she also tripped her up behind her back. Does she really think that just because she doesn't fight back, she's easy to bully?
"Wu Li, are you even a man? Your wife has been bullied like this, and you're not even going to help me? I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to marry you!" Sun Mei shouted at Wu Li when she realized she couldn't beat Wenrou.
Wu Li glanced at Huo Yanchuan beside him. This was Huo Tuan, and even if he wanted to go up and dissuade him, he wouldn't dare.
After all, Sun Mei brought this upon herself. Why didn't she write a complaint letter accusing Huo Tuan and his wife of abusing their child?
Even if he wanted to help, he couldn't.
Let's teach her a lesson this time and see if she dares to do it again next time.
After being beaten up, Sun Mei looked terrible and extremely disheveled.
But even when acting gently, there was still a sense of proportion; it wouldn't really cause her serious injury, otherwise it would just be asking for trouble.
It's normal for minor conflicts to arise in the family compound. Even if Sun Mei complains to the political commissar, he won't intervene and will leave it to Wu Li and Huo Yanchuan to resolve themselves.
Wu Li was already very dissatisfied with Sun Mei, and now that she had caused so much trouble, he certainly wouldn't offend Huo Tuan and his wife because of her.
"Sun Mei, can you please calm down? If you keep making a scene like this, how are we supposed to live together?" Wu Li said, looking at Sun Mei with a headache.
Sun Mei lunged at Wu Li and began tearing at his clothes. "I've wanted to end up with you for a long time, Wu Li. I want a divorce."
"You said it yourself, I'm going to file for divorce tomorrow, Sun Mei. To tell you the truth, I've had enough of you too." Wu Li was also furious.
He was forced by his family to marry Sun Mei. He knew his family was not well-off, and he was already content to be able to marry a wife.
He had also thought about living a good life with Sun Mei, and given his circumstances, he didn't dare to look down on Sun Mei for being a divorcee.
But what he didn't expect was that Sun Mei became increasingly unreasonable after they got married.
It's one thing in the village, but now even in the military family compound, they're still causing trouble.
Since she wants a divorce, then grant her wish.
Even if Wu Li remains a bachelor for the rest of his life and never marries, he will still divorce her.
When Sun Mei heard that Wu Li had agreed to the divorce, she regretted speaking so quickly.
She knew that with Wu Li's qualifications, he definitely couldn't marry anyone else but her, so based on this reason, she was certain that Wu Li wouldn't divorce her.
No matter how much she made a fuss, Wu Li would never say anything.
But to my surprise, he actually agreed to the divorce this time?
"Wu Li, are you really sure? If you leave me, let's see if you can find a wife!" Sun Mei pointed at Wu Li and scolded him.
"Sun Mei, do you think I don't know what you've been doing behind my back? I, Wu Li, would rather stay single for the rest of my life than have a shameless woman like you."
Wu Li leaned on his cane. Since things had already come to this, he wasn't afraid of losing face.
He knew that Sun Mei had been having an affair with another man in private, but he didn't say anything because he was too proud to admit it.
He used to be a battalion commander, but his wife cheated on him with another man. If this got out, what face would he have left in front of the army and his subordinates?
He has endured this matter until now, but he finally doesn't want to endure it anymore.
Upon hearing Wu Li's words, Sun Mei's expression changed slightly, and a hint of guilt appeared in her eyes.
She originally thought Wu Li was unaware of what she had done, but she didn't expect that he had already discovered it.
However, even so, she would not admit it, as she was certain that Wu Li had no evidence.
"What did I do? If you're so capable, produce the evidence. Wu Li, you useless man, let's get a divorce then. I'll only be better off without you."
Sun Mei has already planned her future, so even if she divorces Wu Li now, she will only be better off.
Besides, Wu Li is just a platoon leader now, following him would only make him look worse.
Here, Wu Li and Sun Mei had just finished arguing when Huo Yanchuan received Wu Li's divorce application the very next day.
He was Wu Li's superior, so the divorce application was submitted to him first before it was passed on to the higher-ups.
However, if he doesn't approve it, the leaders won't see it.
Wenrou was also surprised to see Wu Li's divorce application; she hadn't expected that the two of them had already reached the point of divorce.
She originally thought Huo Yanchuan would call it back directly, but to her surprise, she saw Huo Yanchuan sign the application form and write the word "agree" the next second.
"Aren't military marriages supposed to be off-limits? How come you agreed to their divorce?" Wenrou asked疑惑地.
Huo Yanchuan explained to her, "It's not that we can't get a divorce, it's just that the procedures are a bit complicated. Wu Li and Sun Mei have already made such a fuss, if they continue like this, it will also delay his future. Since they want a divorce, I will naturally grant their wish."
Wenrou was taken aback for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and looked at the man in front of her with a dangerous warning in her eyes.
"Then why were you so adamant that military marriages can't be dissolved when I wanted a divorce? Were you lying to me back then?" Wenrou reached out and grabbed his collar, as if she wouldn't let Huo Yanchuan off the hook if he didn't tell the truth.
Huo Yanchuan chuckled, reached out and grasped the hand that was gently gripping his collar, and said, "It's not all a lie. I really can't divorce you because I never thought about divorcing you. Your man is a regimental commander, after all, and he has earned so many military merits. As long as I don't agree, this marriage can't be dissolved."
gentle:"……"
So the reason she couldn't get a divorce at the time was because this man had earned it through military merit?
Otherwise, if she had been a little more ruthless back then, they probably would have divorced long ago.
"Alright, honey, let's not talk about us anymore. I need to go to the army to see the political commissar now." After saying that, Huo Yanchuan reached out and pulled Wenrou's arm, pulled her close, kissed her on the cheek, and then got up to get busy.
Wenrou watched Huo Yanchuan's departing figure, thinking that if it weren't for his insistence, the two of them would probably have broken up long ago and wouldn't have the life they have now.
Thinking about this, she was indeed grateful that he hadn't let her leave back then, otherwise Yun Shu and Yun Yao wouldn't have had a father.
No one knows how Huo Yanchuan spoke to the political commissar, but Wu Li and Sun Mei's divorce application was approved very quickly.
With the approval of their military superiors, they were finally officially divorced.
"Xiaomei, you and Wu Li have just gotten divorced? And the higher-ups actually approved it?"
"Yeah, I thought this divorce would be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be over so quickly?"
"I'm not trying to be mean, but you two are too impulsive. Every couple has its arguments and quarrels. You'll definitely regret getting a divorce over something so trivial."
When the others in the compound heard the news of Wu Li and Sun Mei's divorce, they couldn't help but try to persuade them to stay.
"Sisters, please don't try to persuade me anymore. Wu Li and I can't go on like this anymore. I've made up my mind. I'll pack my things and leave here in a bit," Sun Mei said to the others.
At this moment, Sister Wang heard about this matter after returning from outside.
She looked at Sun Mei, her eyes filled with sympathy, struggle, and hesitation.
She genuinely hadn't expected that Wu Li and Sun Mei would actually get a divorce so quickly.
Isn't it said that military marriages are difficult to divorce?
Thinking about her and Zhu Chao's current situation, it's no different from being divorced.
But she didn't have Sun Mei's courage; she wasn't ready to raise Xiao Ya on her own.
After all, these days, divorced people are still a minority, and divorced people who can live well are even fewer.
Although what Wenrou said earlier wasn't wrong, she was, after all, just an ordinary woman who had never received any education about divorce in her life.
In her eyes, unless she had no other choice, she would continue to endure divorce and live with Zhu Chao.
"Young lady, now that you're divorced, what are your plans for the future?" Sister Wang walked over and asked Sun Mei with concern.
Thinking that we were all neighbors living in the same compound, and although we had indeed had some conflicts before, I felt more concerned when I heard that she was leaving and I would never see her again.
"I haven't decided where to go yet, but I believe I'll be fine even without a man," Sun Mei said confidently to Sister Wang.
After hearing this, Sister Wang admired Sun Mei even more.
"Sister-in-law, don't blame me for being nosy, but Zhu Chao in your family is not the kind of person who can manage a household. I advise you to think carefully about whether you want to continue living with him, or you can do what I did and get a divorce." Sun Mei suddenly stepped forward and took Wang's hand, advising her.
When Sister Wang heard this, she opened her mouth slightly, but in the end she couldn't help but sigh.
"Thank you, sister, but I don't have your courage. Besides, I still have Xiaoya. I can't let her lose her father at such a young age and live under the strange eyes of others." When Sister Wang heard Sun Mei's words, she was actually a little moved, but she was still defeated by reality.
Sun Mei frowned when she saw how stubborn Wang's sister-in-law was.
She's already divorced, so when exactly did Zhu Chao divorce Wang Guixiang?
Furthermore, she really couldn't understand why Wang Guixiang could still tolerate Zhu Chao, who clearly knew that Zhu Chao no longer had feelings for her and did not act like a father to Xiaoya.
However, she wasn't in a hurry. She wanted to see how long Wang Guixiang could endure.
Sister Wang just harvested the last batch of mushrooms today, earning a total of two hundred yuan.
She secretly hid the two hundred yuan in a place, intending to save it for Xiaoya's future college education.
The money she earned from selling mushrooms was secretly taken away little by little by Zhu Chao.
She and Zhu Chao argued about this quite a few times.
In the end, they still didn't get anything out of it, and she just kept putting up with it.
That evening, Zhu Chao heard from his mother that Sister Wang had made money selling mushrooms that day, so he asked her, "Where did you put the money you made from selling mushrooms today?"
Sister-in-law Wang was mending clothes for the little girl with her head down, not even looking up, saying, "I have no money."
Zhu Chao didn't believe her, so he started rummaging through drawers and cabinets at home.
Seeing this, Sister Wang hurriedly put down her work to stop him, but he pushed her to the ground.
"Mom..." Xiao Ya saw this and wanted to go forward to help Sister Wang, but she was also slapped by Zhu Chao.
When Sister-in-law Wang saw that he was even hitting the little girl, she was about to go up and fight him to the death.
At this moment, Aunt Zhu rushed in to protect her son.
"Wang Guixiang, are you trying to rebel?"
She pulled Wang Guixiang along, and Zhu Chao finally found the two hundred yuan and put it directly into his pocket.
When Sister Wang saw that Zhu Chao had taken all of her remaining two hundred yuan, she tried to rush up and snatch it back, but Aunt Zhu stopped her and she could only watch helplessly as Zhu Chao walked away with the money.
"Mom, are you alright?" Xiao Ya felt sorry for Wang's sister-in-law and wiped away her tears.
The mother and daughter sat on the ground, embracing each other and weeping. But Wang's wife still tried to keep her voice down, not wanting anyone to know her current situation, even now.
In the end, Xiao Ya couldn't bear to see Sister Wang being bullied, so she went to Wenrou for help the next day.
Unfortunately, Wenrou wasn't home when she arrived; only Jiang Yan and his two younger sisters were there.
Seeing the little girl's face covered in tears, Jiang Yan couldn't help but frown, but still asked, "What happened to you? Who bullied you?"
"I want to find Aunt Wenrou. My dad beat my mom and me last night. Jiang Yan, can you help me? I really don't know what to do!" Xiaoya was so anxious that she kept pacing around, tears streaming down her face.
Hearing Xiaoya's words, Jiang Yan felt sympathy, but still said in a cold tone, "This is your family's own business. You can't always rely on others to solve it. You and your mother have to find a solution yourselves. Aunt Xiaorou is very busy every day. She has no time or obligation to deal with your family's affairs."
