Chapter 881: Chapter 0881: Trapped 1

Jiu Hong and Lu Zhaozhi reconciled as if nothing had happened; within a couple of days, Lu Zhaozhi brought Jiu Zhaozhi and Jiu Pendi back home, occasionally taking them out to play, as though she was never the one who favored sons over daughters, acting like she wasn’t the one who avoided staying at home.

Aside from those who knew the inside story, everyone thought the couple had turned over a new leaf.

Divorce isn’t something to flaunt, after all, staying married is the proper thing to do!

What’s wrong with having a girl? "Women hold up half the sky."

The biggest change was probably in Lu Zhaozhi, who once followed Jiu Hong’s every command, but now she was overbearing, not showing any signs of the downtrodden daughter-in-law even when she was out with Jiu Hong.

Nurse Zhu Yan breathed a huge sigh of relief that her careless remarks from the past didn’t resurface, and from then on, she was extremely cautious with her words.

Feng Qingxue learned the whole story from Lu Jiang and couldn’t help but be astounded, then she glanced sideways at Lu Jiang.

"There’s a deep meaning in your eyes that I can’t understand," said Lu Jiang.

Feng Qingxue snorted, "This matter teaches you not to underestimate your female comrades. When they get tough, they can outdo a hundred tough-hearted men! Look at Lu Zhaozhi, when has she ever raised her voice at Jiu Hong? Now, she has Jiu Hong wrapped around her finger, holding a tight grip. Even if Jiu Hong hates her and loathes her, he still has to obediently listen to her; it’s just like a grand play of ’The Mice that Feared the Cat’."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely not do anything to displease you. They, ’like crows to the same carrion fly’, belong together, and naturally, we do too, but in a completely different sense. Let them torment each other, it’s better than getting divorced and ruining someone else’s life."

Whether it’s Jiu Hong or Lu Zhaozhi, it’s unlikely they wouldn’t remarry after a divorce.

Jiu Hong may be older, but he’s a military officer with a not-so-low rank; he won’t have trouble finding a wife. Lu Zhaozhi, younger than Jiu Hong by quite a few years and not ugly, with the current situation of men outnumbering women, it’s not certain that no one would marry her.

The main concern is their two daughters. If their parents really divorced, who would care about their life and death?

Therefore, Zheng Xuefeng privately told Lu Jiang that he hoped the two would never divorce, for rats and snakes indeed belong in the same nest!

Lu Jiang whispered this to Feng Qingxue while coaxing Xibao to eat dumplings.

Xibao ate about ten plump and white dumplings and still hadn’t had her fill, clamoring for more, whereas Fubao chewed on less than three dumplings for a long time and then shook her head, refusing the next one.

"No, no more, I’m full!" Fubao hurriedly ran to the bedstead.

"Eating meals as if it’s taking her life, she really ought to experience the taste of hunger to see if she would still be picky."

Lu Jiang finished the dumplings left by Fubao. "What kind of mother talks like that? To let a child suffer that way. We had no choice before, but now that conditions have improved, of course, we can’t let our children repeat the same hardships."

As much as she said that, Feng Qingxue couldn’t bear the thought either and immediately sighed.

"Let’s not talk about these two little stinkers anymore, one overeating and the other undereating. I want to ask you, have you heard any news from the Capital? How is Commander Ye doing now?" Feng Qingxue was quite worried that Ye Zhengjun would follow the same path as his predecessor, and also about Wang Xinsheng.

The end of the year was approaching, and she hoped that Wang Xinsheng and Ye Zhengjun would safely weather this calamity.

Lu Jiang sighed, "Although no news has come about Commander Ye, the situation doesn’t look optimistic, I’m afraid this time it’s more likely to be bad than good."
