Chapter 584: My Mom is a Great Hero

She couldn't stand it any longer and urged, "Hurry up and tidy up this room. Let me tell you why I called you at noon. My husband, Lao Yang, said that at the request of Political Commissar Zhang, he was going to do some ideological work with Company Commander Zhou to get him to come home and live there, so as to ease the tension between you two."

"You can't keep making a scene. The political commissar has spoken. If you continue, he'll personally come to your house to talk to you both."

Upon hearing Liu Guifang's words, Wang Yumei's expression brightened slightly.

Coincidentally, she was looking for Liu Guifang about the same thing.

But she quickly regained her haughty demeanor and deliberately said in a huff, "Didn't he want to divorce me? Why did he come back? Tell Instructor Yang to stop trying to persuade him and just tell him to divorce me quickly."

"Alright, stop acting up, okay? What if Lao Zhou comes home tonight and you're still like this? Won't that ruin things between you two again?"

Liu Guifang was a clean person. Looking at the messy room, she urged her, "Listen to me, tidy up the room quickly, and cook a meal later. If Lao Zhou comes back tonight, you two should sit down and have a good talk. Clear up any conflicts or misunderstandings. Couples don't hold grudges overnight. Why would you get a divorce if you can't live a good life together?"

Wang Yumei muttered, "It's not me who wants a divorce, it's him who wants a divorce from me."

"Weren't those just words spoken in anger? If he really wanted a divorce, he would have come to you with the divorce papers long ago. It's been so many days, has there been any news?"

Actually, Liu Guifang didn't say it outright, but Zhou Jianmin really did go to see his husband, Lao Yang, and was eventually scolded away by Lao Yang. Of course, for the sake of harmony, this couldn't be told to Wang Yumei for the time being.

It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. Besides, we've been neighbors for so many years.

This couple has no children.

She's 30 years old and divorced; it's hard for her to find someone new.

We should prioritize harmony.

If Wang Yumei continues to make a scene like this, this marriage may really be doomed.

She could tell that Wang Yumei was just being pretentious and dramatic, and if she were to actually ask her to divorce, she probably couldn't do it.

Liu Guifang thought of something and added, "Oh right, I told Lao Yang that the doctor asked your husband, Lao Zhou, to go to the hospital for a physical examination. Lao Yang will probably mention it to him too."

Wang Yumei shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Even if I mention it, he still won't go. He's a stubborn guy. Telling him to go for a checkup is like slapping him in the face. I've mentioned it before, and he said I was insulting him."

“Actually, you don’t necessarily need to go to the hospital for a checkup…” Liu Guifang hesitated before continuing.

Wang Yumei looked at her in confusion, "Ah, how can we know if he has any health problems if we don't get him checked?"

Liu Guifang wanted to say, "Don't you have a doctor right next door?"

But she swallowed the words back down her throat.

Putting aside the fact that Wang Yumei and Bai Zhi have been at odds since the day they met.

The key point is that Zhou Jianmin would never agree to let Bai Zhi, a young girl, take his pulse and examine his body.

If the test results are normal, that's fine. But if he really has some problems in that area, where will Zhou Jianmin put his face?

I guess I won't be able to face Lu Ye and Bai Zhi anymore.

If this gets out in the family compound, he won't be able to stay there anymore.

Seeing Liu Guifang hesitate, Wang Yumei pressed her for an answer, "Sister-in-law, what are you trying to say?"

Liu Guifang smiled and quickly shook her head, "It's nothing. I hope Lao Yang can persuade your husband to go to the hospital for a checkup. No matter whose problem it is, as long as you actively seek treatment, you can have a child. Don't keep bringing up divorce. Those hurtful words can easily become reality."

This time, Wang Yumei was obedient, saying, "Sister-in-law, I understand."

Her attitude finally satisfied Liu Guifang.

Liu Guifang got up, intending to go home and cook dinner.

Before leaving, she glanced at Wang Yumei's room with disdain one last time.

"Hurry up and tidy up all this mess, then go cook."

After being criticized twice by Liu Guifang, Wang Yumei was embarrassed and impatient. "Sister-in-law, I know! It's just a few pieces of clothing. I'll hang them up."

It was already time to prepare dinner, and the women at home in each household began to get busy.

Because Xiaowei was going to eat at home, Baizhi specially made sweet fermented rice and white fungus soup with rock sugar and red dates in it.

This is a favorite among children.

Then I steamed rice and stir-fried a few dishes.

When she finished cooking, Lu Ye still hadn't returned. Xiao Wei remained motionless on the sofa, his eyes fixed intently on the television.

Bai Zhi came out of the kitchen and reminded him, "Xiao Wei, you should take a rest, otherwise your eyes won't be able to take it."

Xiao Wei's eyes were clearly unwilling to leave the TV. He cautiously began, "But this cartoon hasn't finished airing yet."

After saying that, he looked at Bai Zhi with longing eyes.

Bai Zhi didn't give in to him. She reasoned with him, "That won't do either. You can't watch anymore. You've been watching for almost two hours. I heard you want to join the army when you grow up. If you keep staring at the TV like this, your eyes will become nearsighted and you won't be able to join the army."

The statement "I can't join the army" is incredibly damaging.

Xiao Wei was shocked to hear this.

He jumped up from the sofa and turned his back to the TV.

"Then I won't watch it."

His swift and fluid movements made Bai Zhi unable to suppress her laughter.

It seems this kid's dream of joining the army is not just talk.

"Why do you want to join the army? Is it because you want to be like your father?"

Bai Zhi looked at him with a smile and asked.

However, his answer surprised Bai Zhi: "No, I want to be like my mother."

When Xiaowei mentioned his mother, Baizhi suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

She herself lost her mother shortly after birth.

The word she was most afraid to touch when she was a child was "mother".

Hearing others call her "Mom" makes her feel sad, but even more so, she feels envious.

She never dared to touch those two words lightly.

At that moment, she felt sorry for Xiaowei, and also for herself.

"So, what kind of person is your mother in Xiaowei's heart?" Xiaowei brought up his mother on his own initiative, and Baizhi followed his lead and chatted with him casually.

Xiao Wei looked proud and spoke in a strong voice, "My mother is a great hero, a martyr. I heard my father say that she was a military doctor who not only knew how to treat people, but also knew kung fu. She was very powerful."

When Xiaowei mentioned his mother, his eyes lit up.

He vowed, "When I grow up, I want to be a military doctor, just like my mother."
