Chapter 1028: Coax Your Wife
Commissar Wang had done a lot of ideological and political work and had also interacted with many women. He had seen many people who would make a scene at the slightest disagreement. In other words, he had seen many shrews. Back then, he had felt that those kinds of women were the most difficult to coax. However, Sergeant Lu’s wife, who had been wronged, sat quietly as she talked and cried. She did not make a scene, nor did she scold anyone. She looked very pitiful.
He had a headache—that kind of person was even harder to appease. It was much better to bicker with a shrew.
“Commissar Wang, Chen Lanying’s child has nothing to do with Lu Xingzhi. Her child is hers and her husband’s. Not long ago, she went to the hospital for a paternity test. This matter is very easy to investigate. Xingzhi and I are upright citizens. We are not afraid of any report or nonsense anyone might want to throw at us. If the army doesn’t believe us, they can send someone to their hometown to investigate this. I also hope that the army can uphold justice for Xingzhi and me as soon as possible. We will severely punish those who report nonsense randomly and those who slander us maliciously.”
Jiang Yao raised her hand to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes. “I’m also a virtuous woman. I married Lu Xingzhi legally, but someone threw dirty water on me for no reason at all. They don’t know anything, but they go around saying that they know everything. Did they want me to die? I’m still a student. If this rumor were to spread to my school, wouldn’t they expel me? What’s the difference between this and ruining my future, ruining my marriage, and ruining my life? I might as well take a knife and kill myself!”
The more Jiang Yao spoke, the sadder she sounded. “If this matter isn’t investigated clearly, then I don’t think I’ll come back to the army anymore. I thought that this is the army and that there is a strict discipline here. As the wives of soldiers, we should also have self-awareness about our role. However, I did not expect to be so disappointed. I’d better go back to my hometown.”
After she said that, Jiang Yao stood up and wiped her tears. “Commissar Wang, if you don’t believe me, you can get someone to go back to my hometown with me. I’ll go home now to pack my things and leave this troubled place. If the army still doesn’t trust me, you can ask me to divorce Xingzhi. As long as you are willing to prove my innocence, you can even ask for my death.”
After she said that, Jiang Yao rushed out of the door as she cried.
Commissar Wang stood up hurriedly and wanted to chase after her. However, he realized that there was no sign of Lu Xingzhi’s wife. That gave him a headache. A shrew was scary, but a sensible girl was also terrifying. She even mentioned a divorce; if Sergeant Lu knew about it, he could strangle him to death.
Commissar Wang could not understand how things had turned out like that in just a few sentences? He did not even mean to interrogate her.
One could only say that the young woman had a strong character and was a staunch scholar, so she could not bear such an insult to her reputation.
The person who spread that rumor was too despicable. They did not even know the truth. Those women’s mouths were like those of a storyteller—they could break one sentence into ten sentences. In the end, they did not even know how ridiculous it sounded!
Commissar Wang pondered that. It seemed like he would have to gather the military wives to organize a political and ideological class before the New Year.
However, the most important thing then was to find Lu Xingzhi quickly.
Commissar Wang turned around and went to the next office. He knocked on the door. When he received a reply, he opened the door and walked into the room. He looked at Lu Xingzhi, who stood there as he spoke to the chief. He sweated profusely as he talked to those two people. “Sergeant Lu, I think you should go back and coax your wife first.”
