Chapter 868: Chapter 0868: Turn Against Each Other 2

After hearing Zheng Xuefeng’s question, Lu Zhaozhi was stunned for a while before she managed to answer the reason.

"Jin Hong said I was useless because I couldn’t give birth to a son. Other military families all have sons, only I don’t! After I gave birth to Zhaozhi, his family beat and scolded us mother and daughter, saying Jin Hong didn’t come home because I bore a worthless child, saying that our mother and daughter eating was a waste of food. People say that it’s filial of me to eat bran and swallow vegetables while the in-laws have their meals, but who would want to eat bran and swallow vegetables? At that time, Jin Hong was sending his wages to his parents, so that’s why I had that thought of joining the army. I often think, if Zhaozhi were a boy, it wouldn’t be like this, and I couldn’t help but take my anger out on Zhaozhi. After Pianzhi was born, do you know how disappointed I was? I was so afraid that Jin Hong would be angry because I couldn’t give birth to a son. I was afraid of being looked down upon, being called a ’family ender’!"

Lu Zhaozhi’s speech became more and more agitated, "Having a girl really is useless. Just because I gave birth to a girl, Jin Hong didn’t hesitate to want to divorce me! If there was a son, Jin Hong wouldn’t divorce me for the sake of the son’s future!"

Zheng Xuefeng got angry at her topsy-turvy talk, "Ignorance, stupidity!"

Up to now, still believing that a son is most important, isn’t this mindset giving Jin Hong the perfect opportunity?

However, the scolded Lu Zhaozhi didn’t get angry. Instead, her eyes suddenly lit up as she clapped her hands, "Jin Hong wants to divorce me in the name of breaking away from old thinking, so I can also refuse to divorce him on the grounds that he has feudal old thinking! If he has feudal old thinking, isn’t he also on the list to be eradicated? Wouldn’t he be demoted and investigated?"

Lu Jiang said coldly, "Comrade Lu Zhaozhi, what do you think the army is?"

He, along with Ye Zhengjun and Zheng Xuefeng, didn’t want the soldiers to fall into the same frenzy as the outside world, so they controlled the situation strictly, even when studying the thoughts of the leaders. The content was carefully reviewed and approved by several senior generals before they allowed the political instructors to continue the propaganda, for fear of losing control and paralyzing the army.

"I don’t care what the army is!" Lu Zhaozhi shouted, "I have no parents, without a divorce, I’ll have nothing and no home to return to. I cannot divorce Jin Hong! Now that he has become successful and is called a leader by many soldiers, he wants to divorce me and replace me with another wife just like those high-ranking officials after they’ve made their achievements. No way!"

Having conceived the idea of threatening Jin Hong, Lu Zhaozhi didn’t hesitate to turn around and leave to find Jin Hong.

Although Lu Zhaozhi didn’t often come to the barracks and didn’t know where Jin Hong’s office was, she could inquire about it. As Jin Hong’s revolutionary partner, and by saying she had urgent matters with him, naturally, someone would show her the way.

Lu Jiang and Zheng Xuefeng looked at one another and said in unison, "Let’s follow and see, don’t let it escalate to an uncontrollable situation!"

After locking up the office and giving a heads up to the guard at the door, the two of them headed straight for Jin Hong’s office. They hadn’t reached the door when they heard Lu Zhaozhi’s piercing voice from inside, "Jin Hong, you listen to me, if you dare to divorce me, we’ll both be destroyed!"

Lu Jiang and Zheng Xuefeng immediately paused, turned around, and walked away, asking the soldier on guard outside, "What’s going on inside?"

In truth, they wanted to know if the people outside had heard anything, but didn’t want to ask directly.

The soldier, startled by the sudden appearance of the two leaders, was extremely nervous, his voice trembling, "I don’t know, nothing was heard from Jin Hong’s office after his revolutionary partner entered, until just now that sentence... Is Director Jin going to get a divorce? Huh, is Director Jin getting a divorce? This is the first we’ve heard of it."
