Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Jiang Bi Da continued: "If that's the case, it seems that you have really changed a lot over the years."

Han Mei smiled indifferently and said, "You are already this age, and you are not a child anymore, so how can you change?! It's just that you have experienced more things."

After Jiang Bi Da heard Han Mei's words, they looked at each other unconsciously, and their faces changed instantly. Han Hu said, "Ji Dong, your wife is not simple!"

Ding Jidong glared at Han Mei and his expression instantly turned ugly.

Gu Ruoxue came out of the house at this time and said, "You're here. What are you doing standing at the door? Come in quickly!"

Jiang Bi Da smiled and walked with Han Hu to the living room not far away. Su Zhongguo and Ding Huawei, who were playing chess in the study, listened to their conversation word for word. Su Zhongguo put down the chess piece in his hand and said, "Old Ding, we are friends who have risked our lives on the battlefield. And we are also in-laws. Some things your wife did were too much. In the past, I had no choice but to turn a blind eye. Now if she does something weird again, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

Ding Huawei said: "If she wants to cause trouble, you don't have to do it. I will be the first to deal with her!"

Su Zhongguo looked at Ding Huawei. Ding Huawei asked awkwardly, "Why are you looking at me like that?!"

Su Zhongguo replied: "People say you are still pretty even when you are old. I didn't notice it before. But after a closer look just now, it's true."

"You old man, you are really unreasonable!" After saying that, Ding Huawei dropped the chess piece and left the study. Su Zhongguo looked at Ding Huawei's back and muttered to himself, "A virtuous wife brings less trouble to the husband. An unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations. Old Ding, it seems that your family may really be ruined by your wife this time."

Ding Huawei walked out of the study and went straight into the living room. Jiang Bi Da and Han Hu, who were drinking tea in the living room, saw Ding Huawei. Jiang Bi Da smiled and joked, "Old Weird Ding, why are you becoming more and more like a young wife as you age?! You stay at home every day and never go out of the door?! What on earth are you doing?!"

Ding Huawei said, "What else can I do?! Read books, play chess, and cultivate my character." After that, Ding Huawei glanced at Ding Jidong and asked, "How many days can you stay this time?!"

Ding Jidong said: "I have been given a month's leave. I can stay here until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."

"The seventh day of the first lunar month?!" Ding Huawei muttered, and asked, "Why don't you go visit your father-in-law?!"

Ding Jidong said: "It's not too late to go after the eighth day of the first lunar month."

Ding Huawei said: "What kind of nonsense is this?! They say that we should go to our father-in-law's house on the second day of the Chinese New Year. So you can go there with your wife on the second day of the Chinese New Year!"

Han Mei said, "Dad, there's no need to go so early. We've already told my parents before we came. It won't be too late to go there on the eighth day of the New Year. Besides, it's not easy for us to come here, so let us stay with you for a while longer, okay?!"

Ding Huawei said: "We are still strong and healthy! We don't need you to accompany us. If you really want to accompany us, just do what Yan Wu did. After you change your job, you can accompany us every day."

Han Mei thought to herself, "Is it easy for Jidong to get to where he is now?! I haven't been a government official's wife long enough! Why should Jidong be demobilized?" Han Mei suppressed her unhappiness and said, "Dad, it's not easy for Jidong to get to where he is now. Wait until he has arranged everything for the children. It won't be too late to come back."

Su Zihao said, "Aunt, you're good enough for not making things difficult for us younger generations. Why would you let my uncle arrange things for us?! I'm afraid he's going to arrange for someone from your mother's family?!"

Ding Jidong didn't expect Su Zihao to say such a thing. Ding Jidong asked, "Zihao, what do you mean by this?!"

Su Zihao chuckled and said, "Ask my good aunt! What's going on?!"

Before Ding Jidong could speak, Ding Huawei got angry first and shouted, "Han Mei! Tell me! What's going on? Explain it to me clearly!"

Han Mei said with a dead pig fearless of boiling water: "What can I do?! You can't wrongly accuse me!"

Jiang Xueqin said, "Aunt! You should have some shame! Zihao's military academy admission notice hasn't come out yet, but you already knew he was admitted, so you came to Zihao and asked him to give up his place in the military academy to your eldest nephew. He didn't want to, so you found someone to make things difficult for him. If it weren't for my grandfather's reputation in the army, we don't know if Zihao would be able to get the admission notice?!"

Ding Jidong's face suddenly turned ugly. He looked at Han Mei angrily and asked coldly, "Is this true?!"

Han Mei replied: "We are all relatives, so what if he gives up his place to the reinforcements?! At worst, he can take the exam again next year!"

Ding Jidong suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Take the exam again next year? That's easy for you to say!"

Han Mei said, "I asked you to find a way to get reinforcements. If you refused, then I have to find a way myself?! I can't just watch his future ruined, can I?!"

Ding Jidong said: "Don't you know what kind of character Han Yuanjun is? If I hadn't been covering up for him, he would have been sent to a military court long ago!"

Gu Ruoxue, who always likes to keep things quiet, will not indulge Han Mei this time. Gu Ruoxue said, "Jidong, find a time to divorce Han Mei! Otherwise, the children will not recognize you as their father and uncle."

Han Mei was stunned. Outsiders only knew that Ding Huawei had always been the boss of the Ding family. But the one who really made the decision in the Ding family was Gu Ruoxue. Han Mei asked hurriedly, "Mom! Why did you ask Jidong to divorce me for no reason?!"

Gu Ruoxue said, "What are you doing?! You should know it in your heart! My grandsons, grandsons-in-law and granddaughters are my bottom line. You should never, ever, cause trouble for the children! You gave birth to three sons. How many of these three sons are close to you as a mother?! Which one of them doesn't avoid you?!"

Han Mei said hysterically: "I won't divorce?! I will never divorce Ding Jidong!"

Ding Jidong said, "Han Mei! Let's part ways amicably! Whether you like it or not, after the New Year, I will file for divorce."

Han Mei was dumbfounded, as if the last bit of strength in her body had been drained away, and she collapsed to the ground. After two or three minutes, Han Mei got up from the ground, looked at Ding Jidong fiercely, and said, "You are so cruel! I have suffered for you for so many years. You actually want to divorce me?! Even if I die! I will not divorce you!" Then Han Mei fiercely glanced at the people present and ran out of the living room.

Ding Jidong sat down on the stool, his face turned pale instantly. Ding Jinan walked to Ding Jidong and asked, "Brother, are you okay?!"

"It's okay!" Ding Jidong replied weakly, "It's all because I was soft-hearted and let her go again and again!"

Ding Jinan comforted him, "Brother, you have been busy with military affairs. It is normal that you cannot take care of the family."

"No more talking! No more talking! This time, getting a divorce is like putting the past behind us." After saying that, Ding Jidong showed an apologetic look on his face and looked at his parents.

Ding Huawei glared at Ding Jidong and said, "This time when you go back, find out how many wrong things your wife has done behind your back! You can't be soft-hearted this time! Deal with it as it should be dealt with! Don't end up being cheated by someone and not knowing what happened?!"
