In the military art troupe
Commander Wu and Su Genglin were taking two leaders from the Hucheng Military Region to visit the art troupe, and the troupe's director Song Huijuan followed behind.
A few people walked towards the back of the stage while chatting.
There is a lounge behind the stage, which also serves as the reception room for the art troupe.
As Commander Wu and his companions walked out of the reception room, they heard the voices of several young girls talking inside.
"Hey! Have you heard that our military region's Brigade Commander Qin and his wife are getting divorced?"
"What divorce? I heard they weren't even married."
"Ah? Don't they already have children? How can they have children without getting married?"
"You don't understand this. I heard their marriage was arranged by their parents, a feudal tradition. Getting a marriage certificate wasn't popular back then, but they were still considered married."
"Yes, yes. I also heard that Commander Qin's wife was a child bride."
"Huh? I didn't expect there was such a thing as a child bride!"
"There have been many such incidents in the past, but we have never seen them before."
"By the way, if they're divorced, why are they still living together? Does that count as living together?"
"Cough!" Song Huijuan coughed, scaring the little girls inside so much that they stopped immediately.
Commander Wu and Su Genglin's faces had already turned dark.

the other side
Ruan Zhao bought a fish from the vegetable market. As soon as he got home, he saw Wang Shufang and Wu Chunyan standing at his door.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Chunyan, are you waiting for me?"
When Wang Shufang saw Ruan Zhao coming back, she grabbed her wrist anxiously. "Sister, tell me the truth. What's going on between you and Xiao Qin? Are you really divorced?"
Ruan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Sister-in-law, who told you that?"
Wu Chunyan quickly said, "Lin Guizhi from the supply and marketing cooperative said that you and Brigade Commander Qin divorced a long time ago."
Lin Guizhi?
Ruan Zhao thought about it and seemed to have seen this person before, but the impression was not deep.
Seeing Ruan Zhao remained silent, Wu Chunyan anxiously asked, "Zhao Zhao, are you and Brigadier General Qin really separated?"
Seeing that the two already knew, Ruan Zhao didn't hide it from them. "Yes, we broke up."
When Wang Shufang and Wu Chunyan heard this, they were both puzzled.
Wang Shufang was very confused, "What's going on? Aren't you and Xiao Qin getting along well?
Xiao Qin is well off, and you already have two children, so how can you just split them up?
Wu Chunyan also echoed, "Yes, it's normal for these two to quarrel, but they can't just get divorced easily!"
Seeing how anxious the two were, Ruan Zhao reluctantly explained, "Sister-in-law, Sister Chunyan, Commander Qin and I were in a feudal marriage arranged by our parents. We have no feelings for each other, so a peaceful breakup is the best outcome."
Wang Shufang disagreed, "Relationships are cultivated. If you just get along well with each other, you will develop them."
Wu Chunyan also nodded. "I see that Brigadier General Qin really cares about you. How could he not have feelings for you? Zhao Zhao, did you misunderstand Brigadier General Qin?"
Ruan Zhao remained unmoved. "Sister Chunyan, Commander Qin and I are separating. This is a decision we made together after discussing it. You don't need to persuade me anymore."
Wang Shufang saw this and could only think of other ways to explain it. "But Xiao Qin is an officer. According to the rules, she can't divorce easily. I don't think you have reported your relationship to the army, right?"
Wang Shufang felt that if they had filed a report, Ruan Zhao would not have been able to still live here.
Ruan Zhao didn't know whether Qin Zongwu had submitted a report or not. "Brigade Commander Qin said he had reported it to the troops."
"If he really reported it to the army, how could they still let you live here? Unmarried men and women living together is a violation of conduct."
“We don’t live in the same house.”
"Then who would know? As long as you live in the same house, others will think you live together!"
Ruan Zhao also hesitated. She was not sure what Qin Zongwu had told the troops.
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Zhao asked again, "Sister-in-law, who else knows about this?"
Wang Shufang curled her lips when she heard this, "You should ask, who else doesn't know this now?"
Wu Chunyan also realized the seriousness of the matter, "Zhao Zhao, you should quickly discuss this with Brigade Commander Qin.
Now many people in the military region know about your affairs, and the stories they spread are very unpleasant.
You're divorced but still living together. If the Women's Association finds out, they'll definitely come looking for you, and you'll be in trouble!"
Ruan Zhao had also heard of the women in the Women's Rescue Association. He heard that they were more powerful than the police. If any woman in a family had any problems, as long as they leaked some information, they would definitely come to their door within two days.
Realizing this, Ruan Zhao frowned. She was still afraid of trouble, especially since she had heard a lot of heroic stories about these women.
After thinking about it, Ruan Zhao decided to take this opportunity to resolve the matter once and for all.
"I understand. I'll go find Brigadier General Qin now."

In the military office
"report!"
Hearing Qin Zongwu's voice, Su Genglin responded unhappily. "Come in!"
As soon as Qin Zongwu came in, he saw Commander Wu and Su Genglin were there.
He thought there was another important mission and quickly walked over to the two men. "Captain, are you looking for me?"
Su Genglin glared at him directly, "Do you know why we are looking for you?"
Qin Zongwu saw Su Genglin's unhappy expression and felt a little confused. "I don't know."
Su Genglin suddenly became even angrier.
Seeing that he was truly unaware, Commander Wu kindly reminded him, "Qin Zongwu, what exactly is going on between you and your family?
As a soldier, personal conduct is very important. You must be aware of this."
Qin Zongwu was stunned for a moment, and after realizing that his and Ruan Zhao's affairs had been exposed, he turned to look at Su Genglin.
Su Genglin took one look and yelled with a sour face, "Why are you looking at me? Commander Wu asked you a question, and you're speechless!"
Qin Zongwu then averted his gaze and replied quietly, "Commander, Comrade Ruan Zhao and I are getting divorced. I've already reported this to the Chief of Staff."
Su Genglin's face turned even uglier. "You reported this to me. Did I agree?"
Qin Zongwu: "You didn't say you disagree."
Su Genglin slammed the table in anger, "You! You little bastard, you dare to take advantage of me."
Commander Wu sensed a hidden agenda and turned to look at Su Genglin. "Chief of Staff, what's going on?"
Su Genglin glared at Qin Zongwu again before explaining, "Commander, this guy did report to me.
He said he wanted to divorce his wife, but I didn't approve it at the time. I asked him to stay with his wife for another month, and we could talk about it later if they really couldn't get along.
Who knew that this guy had already verbally broken up with his wife in private, and now it’s causing a lot of uproar.
Now he knows how to pass the blame on to me."
When Commander Wu heard this, he finally understood the truth. "Qin Zongwu, it's inevitable that these two will have some bumps in the road.
You and your wife have just reunited, and she even gave birth to two sons for you. Now you want to divorce her, isn't that ungrateful? "
Qin Zongwu: “…”
He doesn't want to leave now.
He lowered his gaze for two seconds before looking up again. Qin Zongwu decisively put the blame on Ruan Zhao. "She was the one who initiated the divorce."
Commander Wu understood. "So, you don't want a divorce?"
Qin Zongwu nodded, without any guilt at all.
He didn't lie, he really didn't want to get divorced!
Commander Wu didn't know that Su Genglin still remembered how determined Qin Zongwu was when he mentioned this matter to him.
Seeing him like this, Su Genglin knew that he had changed his mind, but he did not expose Qin Zongwu. "Okay, since you don't want a divorce, then just live a good life."
Qin Zongwu's face turned sad and he looked troubled. "I'm afraid it's a little difficult."
Commander Wu knew what he was thinking at a glance. "Are you worried your wife won't be happy?"
Qin Zongwu nodded, "She misunderstood me."
Su Genglin looked very disappointed and said, "If there is a misunderstanding, it will be fine if we just clear it up!"
Commander Wu understood Qin Zongwu very well, "You two haven't seen each other for so many years, it's normal for the two of you to not get along well, just get along slowly and you will be fine.
You are a man, you should be more proactive and put away that sullen face you had in the army. Your wife is not a soldier under your command, so don’t use the same tactics you use to lead soldiers on her.
Qin Zongwu nodded obediently, "Yes."
How dare he!
Seeing that he had listened, Commander Wu thought about the rumors again. "Since you don't want a divorce, and the army hasn't approved your divorce application, then you'll still be a couple.
When you return, try to resolve the family conflict as soon as possible and put a stop to those rumors out there."
Su Genglin added, "Yes, you should get your marriage certificate quickly. Otherwise, living together before marriage is just hooliganism. Even if we know you are a couple, it will be useless."
Qin Zongwu nodded again and assured, "Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came outside.

"report!"
Commander Wu glanced outside and shouted directly, "Enter."
A soldier ran in, saluted, and said, "Commander, Brigade Commander Qin's family is here, looking for him."
Qin Zongwu's brows tightened when he heard this, and he looked at Su Genglin. "Chief of Staff!"
Su Genglin didn't understand what he meant. "You came just in time. Just in time to solve this matter right in front of us."
Qin Zongwu was a little anxious.
If Ruan Zhao were to come in, there would be no point in solving the problem. Ruan Zhao would definitely take the opportunity to completely separate from him.
Commander Wu had already seen through his thoughts, but ignored him. "Let her in."
