Chapter 867 - 0867: Turn Against Each Other 1
Before the troops could call Jiu Hong for a talk, Lu Zhaozhi had already found her way there.
She approached Lu Jiang and Zheng Xuefeng and got straight to the point, "I want to know what kind of order was issued from above that’s making Jiu Hong insist on divorcing me, regardless of our revolutionary sentiments."
"You knew that Jiu Hong filed for divorce?" Zheng Xuefeng was astonished; he had thought that Jiu Hong had merely filed an application.
After all, if the army didn’t agree, then Jiu Hong’s plans would have to be abandoned.
"He brought it up to me, he wants a divorce!" Lu Zhaozhi sobbed uncontrollably, "Commander Lu, Commissar Zheng, tell me, is he even human? He’s been in the army for so many years while I stayed at home taking care of the elderly and the young. At first, it was attending to his parents and looking after his younger siblings; Zhaozhi was born several years into the marriage, coming last. I’ve put in so much effort and energy, during those years of disaster and famine, his parents ate rice and flour, while I and Zhaozhi ate bran and choked down vegetables. Finally, when we were looking forward to joining the army with him, my daughter and I arrived here, and we haven’t had a single good day before he now wants to divorce me! Talking about obeying orders from above, I was confused; does ’above’ really teach their subordinates to abandon their wives?"
Lu Jiang remained silent.
He and Feng Qingxue hadn’t sought Lu Zhaozhi for a reckoning, but that didn’t mean they had forgotten her actions; her careless talk had almost brought disaster to their entire family. How could they forgive her?
