Chapter 575: Reincarnation is a Skill

Chapter 575: Reincarnation is a Skill

Wang Yumei returned home with a heavy heart. Looking at the phone on the table, she wanted to dial several times, but put it down each time.

Why should she be the one to show weakness first?

She didn't do anything wrong.

Zhou Jianmin went to stay in the military dormitory the day he returned from his hometown, and hasn't been home since, nor has he called to ask if she is safe at home alone.

At this moment, listening to the cheerful laughter of Lu Ye and his wife next door, she sat alone in the empty room, feeling utterly desolate.

Liu Guifang told her to learn from Bai Zhi and not to be so arrogant and willful.

She had witnessed Bai Zhi and Lu Ye's interactions several times.

Aren't all newlyweds like that?

She used to act coquettishly and gaze at Zhou Jianmin with affection.

Zhou Jianmin was extremely accommodating to her.

But at some point, their relationship began to change.

Perhaps it's because I don't have children.

She keeps saying she wants a divorce, but what if Zhou Jianmin actually files for divorce and wants to divorce her?

Will she agree?

She had asked herself this question many times.

To be honest, she didn't want a divorce.

Putting aside whether she is physically capable of having children, even if she is healthy, it is not something to be proud of for her to divorce and remarry at the age of thirty.

Besides, honestly, could she find a man better than Zhou Jianmin?

More importantly, she was unwilling to accept it.

She spent six years with Zhou Jianmin, devoting her youth to this marriage. Why should Zhou Jianmin be able to divorce her whenever he wants?

Wang Yumei ultimately couldn't bring herself to make the call.

When Instructor Yang returned home from get off work that evening, he heard that Lu Ye and Bai Zhi had just picked up their new cars, so he and Political Commissar Zhang came over to celebrate.

Of course, Political Commissar Zhang also brought his son, Xiaowei.

The New Year was over, and he wanted Bai Zhi to give his son a detailed diagnosis and develop a treatment plan.

I had wanted to bring this up with Bai Zhi a few days ago, but Bai Zhi had to go to the military hospital every day.

Political Commissar Zhang knew that the patients in the hospital were in critical condition, but his son had been like this for several years anyway, so there was no rush.

So I didn't want to disturb them.

Political Commissar Zhang, who usually doesn't care much about social interactions, even brought a gift.

Instructor Yang also brought a bottle of wine, saying that work hadn't been too demanding lately, and the three of them would like to have a couple of drinks tonight.

"Political Commissar Zhang, Lao Yang, let's not open this bottle of wine."

Due to his long-standing work habits and vigilance, Lu Ye rarely drinks alcohol unless he is on vacation.

"You've just gotten a new car, so we should at least have a couple of drinks to congratulate you."

Political Commissar Zhang also agreed with Instructor Yang's proposal.

So, the wine was opened.

"Then I'll go cook two dishes."

Instructor Yang said, "Sister-in-law, don't bother. I brought some peanuts with me. We can just have a couple of drinks with the peanuts as a token gesture."

Bai Zhi went to the kitchen anyway. There were carrots on hand, so she soaked some glass noodles, chopped carrots and tofu, made a stir-fry of stir-fried potatoes, green peppers, and eggplant, and then chopped a plate of chilled pork head meat from the refrigerator and served it over there.

With a large refrigerator at home and the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year still lingering, her refrigerator is always packed full of food, making it convenient to entertain guests.

Looking at the dishes Bai Zhi had brought to the table, Instructor Yang smiled and said, "Look how virtuous and efficient your sister-in-law is. In just a few minutes, two dishes have been served. The presentation is comparable to that of a chef in a restaurant."

"Yes, Dr. Bai is truly a woman who can handle both domestic and social situations." And her medical skills are also superb.

This is truly remarkable for someone her age.

"Please don't flatter me, both of you. These are all ready-made dishes."

After putting down the plate, Bai Zhi gave her and Xiao Wei some melon seeds and sat down to watch TV.

"Why did you suddenly decide to buy a motorcycle?" Instructor Yang asked Lu Ye curiously.

They can get to work in just a few minutes by bicycle.

Is it really necessary to spend several thousand dollars on such an expensive mode of transportation?

This young couple has absolutely no idea how to manage a household thriftily.

Such extravagance in an attempt to keep up with the times.

Lu Ye met Instructor Yang's gaze, but simply smiled and remained silent.

Political Commissar Zhang stepped in to defuse the situation, saying, "There must be a reason for buying a car."

Political Commissar Zhang could probably guess that this car wasn't the one Lu Ye used to commute to and from get off work.

Bai Zhi has been going to the hospital every day lately.

It must be a means of transportation that Lu Ye bought for his wife.

Seeing Lu Ye's calm and low-key demeanor, Instructor Yang sighed, "In the end, it's all thanks to our Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's strong family background."

"There's nothing we can do about it; being born into the right family is a skill."

Political Commissar Zhang looked at Lu Ye with admiration in his eyes, "However, to be fair, our young Lu has always been conscientious and low-key since graduating from military academy and joining the army. He works harder than anyone else, and his comrades and leaders have all seen this. He has gotten to where he is today entirely through his own abilities."

Political Commissar Zhang spoke highly of Lu Ye, saying, "In our regiment, he is a model of young talent and promise."

I was promoted to deputy battalion commander last year, which I earned by risking half my life.

He always takes the lead in every mission and completes them excellently.

“I completely agree with that. He earned his position as deputy battalion commander with his life.”

Instructor Yang was naturally convinced of Lu Ye's work ability and had never questioned him in this regard. He said, "At first, Zhou Jianmin's wife was not convinced, but my husband did a lot of ideological work on her. The organization's transfer of comrades is carefully studied and considered. There is no such thing as favoritism or backdoors."

Upon hearing Instructor Yang mention Zhou Jianmin, Political Commissar Zhang lowered his voice and inquired, "What's going on between Zhou Jianmin and his wife? I heard that when he came back from his leave, he stayed in the unit's dormitory. They allocated him a room, but he doesn't come back to live there. Is he living separately from his wife?"

Instructor Yang looked speechless. "Sigh, don't even mention it. The day he left home, he threatened to file for divorce, and I gave him a good scolding."

"Divorce?" Political Commissar Zhang and Lu Ye both looked at Instructor Yang. "Why?"

"It's just a quarrel between the couple, why would they want a divorce? Is it still about having children?" Commissar Zhang thought about the problems that had existed between the couple before and had a rough idea.

"Today, my husband Lao Liu accompanied Lao Zhou's wife to the hospital. According to Lao Liu, Xiao Wang doesn't have any major problems and can have children after treatment. The doctor suggested that Lao Zhou go to the hospital for a checkup."

Upon hearing what Instructor Yang said, Bai Zhi's eyes flickered slightly.

So it really was Zhou Jianmin's problem?

After downing a glass of wine, Political Commissar Zhang looked knowing. "I told you long ago that we should have Old Zhou investigate. Giving birth isn't just a woman's responsibility."

He gave Instructor Yang a direct order: "Old Yang, this matter is in your hands. Talk to Zhou Jianming tomorrow and tell him to move back home as soon as possible. This situation is having a very bad influence. Also, make him go to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible. If he's sick, he should get treatment. He's over 30 years old. He should take care of his health and have a child so that things will be stable at home. If this continues, I think their marriage will fall apart sooner or later."
