Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

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?"
