Fang Pingying nodded; she knew how extreme Huang Lin’s elderly mother was, no better than Zhou Yunmei.
If we speak of Huang Lin, he is more foolishly filial than Luo Zhiyong; at least Luo Zhiyong would scold Zhou Yunmei when she did something wrong, although he would soften later.
But Huang Lin, because his widowed mother raised him, feels that his mother had it tough. Even though he clearly knows it’s his mother’s fault, he would still coax juzi to appease his mother. Thankfully, juzi’s family conditions are good, and can lend a hand, otherwise, Huang Lin’s mother can come up with all sorts of tricks.
Of course, the good thing about Huang Lin’s house is that apart from that extreme mother, there are no extreme relatives, which spares juzi a lot of trouble. If need be, she only has to deal with one unreasonable mother-in-law.
While juzi and Fang Pingying were chatting in the back seat of the car, they heard Zeng Guowei shouting from the front, "We’ve arrived. Wait here for me, I’ll go park the car."
Zeng Weiguo parked the car in a conspicuous spot, and juzi and Fang Pingying got down. Juzi said, "Okay, Uncle, be quick."
Near where Fang Pingying and juzi got out, there was a small shopping mall. As Zeng Guowei was likely to take a while parking, juzi dragged Fang Pingying inside to look around.
Coincidentally, as they were entering, hand in hand, they bumped right into a man and a woman who were just coming out. Fang Pingying was about to apologize, but when she saw the couple they ran into, she was slightly taken aback.
She didn’t recognize the man, but felt he looked familiar, and the woman was actually Bai Jing, whom Fang Pingying and juzi had just seen recently. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovєlFіre.net
Originally, Bai Jing was intimately looping her arm through the man’s, whispering to each other, but when she saw Fang Pingying and juzi, she became visibly flustered and quickly withdrew her hand from the man’s arm.
This action convinced Fang Pingying, Bai Jing was probably not yet divorced from Chief Zhou, yet she was already hooking up with another man.
Recalling this, Fang Pingying suddenly remembered something. Last year, when she had just married Luo Zhiyong and came to the military base, she also saw Bai Jing with a man, presumably this same man.
At that time, juzi outspokenly gossiped, but Fang Pingying stopped her, suggesting the man looked quite older, possibly a decade older than Bai Jing, maybe a relative.
But today, Fang Pingying was sure this man wasn’t Bai Jing’s relative; otherwise, she wouldn’t need to be so flustered.
However, concerning Bai Jing’s affairs, Fang Pingying really had no intention of meddling. Slightly frowning, she intended to pull juzi away.
But the grudge between juzi and Bai Jing ran deep, and coupled with juzi’s outspoken nature, she glanced at Bai Jing and while walking away with Fang Pingying sarcastically remarked, "Shameless, just clinging onto not willing to divorce Chief Zhou while actually already hooking up with men on the side, securing her backup."
After juzi finished speaking, the man accompanying Bai Jing looked confusedly at juzi, then frowned towards Bai Jing, seemingly unaware of many things about Bai Jing.
While Bai Jing, after hearing juzi’s remarks, kept silent, just secretly glaring at juzi, as if she didn’t dare to retort, probably fearing the man would confirm juzi’s accusations, so she acted as if she didn’t understand.
Seeing Bai Jing not responding, juzi didn’t say more and walked into the mall with Fang Pingying.
Estimating that Bai Jing and the man had left, juzi then turned back and whispered to Fang Pingying, "Is Bai Jing putting a green hat on Chief Zhou ?"
Fang Pingying thought about the conversation she heard between Chief Zhou and Bai Jing the other day, pondering and said, "I guess Chief Zhou doesn’t really care anymore whether Bai Jing has another man or not, didn’t we hear him insist on wanting a divorce, but Bai Jing wasn’t willing?"
Juzi nodded in agreement with Fang Pingying’s point.
But she was puzzled, "If Bai Jing already has someone else, why won’t she agree to the divorce? If this gets out, isn’t it just disgusting Chief Zhou?"
Fang Pingying recalled the trouble Bai Jing used to give Luo Zhiyong and shook her head, "Who knows with Bai Jing, she thinks differently from most people."
After hearing this, juzi sighed deeply, "Ah, actually Chief Zhou is a good man, honest and caring towards his wife, but just has poor judgment to have fallen for someone like Bai Jing."
Fang Pingying also agreed, "Indeed, that’s why they say if someone marries the wrong person, their whole life is ruined."
"Actually, these past few days staying over at the big compound, I saw Chief Zhou. He goes to work on time every day, greets us like before, just doesn’t dine or drink with my husband Huang Lin or Camp Chief Luo anymore, and looks somewhat haggard, definitely troubled by Bai Jing’s unwillingness to divorce," because Huang Lin’s mother came over, juzi was staying over at the big compound these days.
"That kind of wife, he probably feels ashamed to face us," Fang Pingying recalled Chief Zhou, truly feeling pity for him. Actually, among the soldiers in the military, most treat each other like brothers, but Bai Jing’s affairs make him incompatible.
Juzi thought a bit, then with some compassion said to Fang Pingying, "Sister-in-law, do you think if we tell Chief Zhou about this, could we help him get a divorce quicker? Plus, if we catch proof of Bai Jing with another man, the military district can confirm it’s Bai Jing’s fault, and Chief Zhou won’t get into trouble."
"I actually would also like to help Chief Zhou, but I’m not sure if Chief Zhou would mind, after all, no man can tolerate this kind of issue, particularly with Bai Jing’s previous involvement with Luo Zhiyong, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to say this," Fang Pingying felt that if she were the one to speak, Chief Zhou would probably feel even more embarrassed.
Juzi didn’t care about these concerns, boldly saying, "Then I’ll say it, or I’ll have Huang Lin talk to Chief Zhou."
Fang Pingying thought this was a better idea, at least there was no friction between Huang Lin and Chief Zhou, "Alright, see how you can put it, just mention it to Chief Zhou. If they really get divorced, let me know, I’ll stop by the compound to help Luo Zhiyong pack up then we can invite him for a meal like before, so later on Chief Zhou won’t hold any grudges against us, he’s a good person."
Juzi nodded, "Alright, that’s settled. When Huang Lin comes over to my place today, I’ll have him go back and talk."
