Chapter 73

“No, no, that’s not what I meant.”

“Then what do you mean? You agreed to the marriage yourself, and you made such an ugly scene after the marriage. You haven’t come to me to explain the reason for such a long time. I thought Comrade Bai was arrogant and had forgotten about us.”

Bai Yu bit her lower lip. Fortunately, she had prepared a speech before coming…

“Director, I only found out that Zhou Tuan and I were not suitable after we got married. I didn’t expect it to be so ugly.”

“Really? You didn’t guide us secretly?”

Qiao Yu didn’t dare to meet the director’s sharp gaze. She lowered her eyes and pushed the few taels of brown sugar away. “Director Zhang, this is what I saved during my confinement.”

“I dare not, who dares to snatch brown sugar from a female comrade who is in confinement? If this gets out, will I still have a reputation?”

“Director…”

“If you have something to say, just say it!” The director of the Women’s Federation was just about to take a sip of tea, but when she heard that she was still in this attitude, she slammed the enamel pot on the table! Showed some dignity.

Bai Yu: …

Knowing that it’s hard to fool her, she got straight to the point, “I want to know about my lover’s situation. He’s almost reaching the age limit, can he get promoted?”

Ha, does this mean she wants to know if she can still be an official’s wife?

The director of the Women’s Federation didn’t understand.

No matter what, Xiao Zhou is of a higher rank than Lu Hongjun, right? Is it worth it for Bai Yu to ruin her first marriage and marry Lu Hongjun for the second time?

Bai Yutou knew Lu Hongjun before she got married. Didn’t she hear that Lu Hongjun was interested in her at that time? Wasn’t Bai Yutou interested? Why does your attitude change after getting married?

Even her lover said that Bai Yu’s practice was very evil.

The director of the Women’s Federation was too lazy to delve into the reasons behind her behavior, and even if you did, she wouldn’t tell you.

The director of the Women’s Federation just showed her own attitude: “This is a military secret, not something a family member like you can find out. I don’t even know, so how can I tell you the news! Go back to where you came from!”

Seeing that Bai Yu refused to leave, the director of the Women’s Federation scolded her for another half an hour.

It was not until Bai Yu’s face became increasingly ugly that he stood up and said goodbye.

“Come back!”

Bai Yu thought that things had turned around, and turned around to meet the gaze of the director of the Women’s Federation, “Director…”

“Take your brown sugar away!”

“…Yes.” Bai Yu dragged her tired body away.

The director of the Women’s Federation was chatting with her lover at night and told her husband about Bai Yu.

The brigade commander sneered: “This female comrade is really…”

The director of the Women’s Federation asked him: “Is Captain Lu going to retire in the future?”

“How old is Captain Lu? Wait, there are still ten years, it’s still a long time.”

“But didn’t I hear that he had the opportunity to go to military school, but he missed the chance because he married Bai Yu, and it will be difficult for him to move up in the future?”

“There is this factor… Who can predict the future? Don’t we all take it one step at a time? Go to sleep quickly. If she harasses you again in the future, I will talk to her man alone!”

Bai Yu really didn’t give up.

She thought her intention was good, but the director of the Women’s Federation turned around and whispered something in her ear, so the brigade commander talked to Lu Hongjun alone.

Originally, Bai Yu was inquiring about military secrets, and the brigade commander’s decision to look for Lu Hongjun was not entirely out of personal feelings.

That night.

Lu Hongjun had a quarrel with Bai Yu.

Lu Hongjun felt very tired.

He slept on the floor in the living room, looked at the ceiling, and recalled the scene when he first met Bai Yu.

She is beautiful and confident, shining on the stage. She is the moonlight of so many men in the army.

He likes her too.

But he sent the letter and never received a reply. I wanted to ask her out alone, but she flatly refused.

After knowing that she and Zhou Tuan were seeing each other, he stopped thinking about it.

Later I heard that the marriage didn’t happen… A few days later, the two of them got their marriage certificate, catching everyone off guard.

Then Zhou Tuan adopted the children of three of his comrades.

This is very common in the army. The considerate sisters-in-law don’t mind having an extra mouth to feed at home. They support each other in this era.

Who knew Zhou Tuan would treat her like that…

After they divorced, she took the initiative to find him.

To be honest, the palpitations she felt when they first met had subsided a lot, but when she took the initiative to find him, that secret thought came to her mind again.

Does this mean that… although he is the same age as Zhou Tuan and not as high-ranking as him, he is worse than him when it comes to women?

In order to suppress such thoughts and also for the sake of their reputations, they lived apart for a while.

He originally wanted to wait until Zhou Tuan got over his first marriage before marrying Bai Yu, but he didn’t expect that Zhou Tuan would soon be tripped up by a divorced woman from the countryside.

After Qiao Yu brought his two children to join the army, he also brought up the matter with Bai Yu.

He had seen Qiao Yu’s appearance from afar. He was dark and thin, but the only thing noticeable was that he looked very energetic. Not even one-tenth of Bai Yu…

that secret pleasure comes again.

He even couldn’t wait to marry Bai Yu home.

Being too proud of one’s position resulted in him losing the qualification to attend military school.

The words have been spoken, so we can’t go back on our word, right?

When his superiors were trying to persuade him, he remained firm in his inner thoughts.

Until now, the idea has finally wavered.

Maybe it has already wavered.

When Bai Yu came to join the army, the situation was overturned by Qiao Yu’s few words; after joining the army for half a year, Bai Yu gradually became haggard, but Qiao Yu took care of her and made her even more beautiful than Bai Yu, who was the former pillar of the stage; Qiao Yu obtained a junior high school diploma through his own efforts, and raised five non-blood-related children well.

The wind in the military compound had long since changed.

——I don’t know if Captain Lu regretted it later.

I regret it.

I regretted it a long time ago.

He didn’t know what Bai Yu was going to do.

Anyway, he always does things that hurt others and benefit himself, and he still thinks he is extremely smart.

She originally didn’t want to bring her mother from the countryside here, but without anyone to watch over her, she guessed she would have to do something stupid.

So the next day, it was Lu Hongjun who broke the silence first among the two who were supposed to be in a cold war.

“I will send a telegram to my mother today, asking her to come with the army and take care of you and the children.”

Bai Yu thought of the old lady in her previous life who was covered in jewels, had kind eyes, and was understanding, and nodded in response: “Okay.”

Lu Hongjun nodded and went out.

Bai Yu didn’t care too much about whether he stayed or left, but went back to her room to take care of the child for a while, thinking about how to pass the time.

She had a bad reputation in the army and had a stain on her file, so even if there was a good job arrangement, it would not be her turn. Want her to go to the kitchen to peel potatoes and wash vegetables? She couldn’t do it even more…

How could she do it without a source of income?

She planned to submit her manuscript to a newspaper. Although she had no literary skills and did not know how to polish it, there were so many TV dramas in later generations that she could write any melodramatic skit and get paid for it, right?

A month passed.

She waited until her mother-in-law came to join the army and the newspaper rejected her manuscript.

The newspaper criticized her novel, saying that the whole country was not well fed. She also used exaggerated writing and plot to exaggerate the so-called love between men and women. Her style was really bold and did not conform to the freedom of love advocated in China. It was more like the supremacy of love advocated abroad!

After criticizing her article, the newspaper also reported to the higher authorities that they would conduct a thorough investigation into her three generations of ancestors to see if they were enemy spies infiltrated from abroad. Please do not act rashly!

For a moment, Bai Yu panicked.
