Restarting life in Siheyuan

Zhu Xuefeng knew that this day would come sooner or later, so Xiao Xu couldn't keep it a secret for him. When he went to apply for a marriage certificate, he didn't have a job, so he needed to get a certificate from the street office. He secretly went to Xiao Xu twice. Xiao Xu is now the deputy section chief. (You don't need a certificate from the unit or street office to apply for a divorce)
"Godmother, this matter, well, to be honest, I am the one who is sorry for them."

Zhu Xuefeng had been prepared for this day, so he simply told him everything about Xia Yuhong and Lin Na's feelings for him.

"They are both good girls. I would be sorry for the other if I marry either one. I am sorry for them. I can only get the marriage certificate for both of them to give an explanation for their love."

Director Wang looked at Zhu Xuefeng's clear eyes. Apart from a hint of guilt, there was no other emotion. He was silent for a while and then sighed.

"I shouldn't interfere in your affairs as young people, but ever since Xiao Xu told me that you asked him to give you two marriage certificates, I couldn't help but ask a friend to check with the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It turns out that you really got married twice and divorced twice."

Zhu Xuefeng felt very calm. From a policy perspective, he had not violated any regulations. Although everyone has different opinions on divorce now, divorced people, regardless of gender, are looked at differently, as if they were labeled with a serious label, but he didn't care.

"You got divorced your second time because you wanted to be fair to them both, or are you planning to try again for a third time?" Director Wang had a headache. This godson was good in every way, but he was such a mess when it came to marriage. It was because he didn't care enough about her. Last time she wanted to introduce him to someone, she didn't ask any more questions as soon as he said he had a girlfriend. She wanted to wait until he started working before asking him about it, but she didn't expect him to get married twice before he finished his studies abroad.

Zhu Xuefeng smiled awkwardly, "Godmother, don't worry, I just want them to feel fair, I don't mean anything else."

Director Wang sighed again, "I checked these two children, they are both good girls. You have harmed them. What a sin."

The scene fell into an awkward moment, and Director Wang was also very annoyed. Normally, if this was someone else's child, she, as the director of the street office, would have criticized the child harshly and given him a good education. However, her godson was good in every way, and her two daughters were also very outstanding. It was just God's fault that the three good children were now turned into a mess.

After a long while, he spoke helplessly, "You guys should handle this matter by yourselves. Be an honest person. You know, it's not peaceful outside these days. This kind of thing might be used as a small braid by others. Fortunately, you're divorced."

Knowing that her godson was not going to get the marriage certificate again, Director Wang didn't know whether to be relieved or worried. She was a little confused for a moment. She was worried that since he was single now, he would remarry, which would cause the resentment of his two ex-girlfriends and lead to his downfall. She was also worried that if he really didn't get the marriage certificate again, he would not have the chance to have children. She had investigated and knew that the two women were still living in her godson's compound and had their household registration there, but she was not sure how the three of them got along, after all, her godson was away all year round.

"How do the three of you get along now? As a family?"

Zhu Xuefeng felt a little bitter in her mouth. Her godmother actually asked this. She must have asked this question in her mind many times before. Now that she was finally back, she had the opportunity to ask it.

I didn't want to hide it, so I nodded and admitted, "We are a family now."

Director Wang sighed again, "As expected, forget it. Godmother can't take care of your mess. You can handle it on your own. Fortunately, it's in the yard..."

Seeing his godmother like this, Zhu Xuefeng felt a little uneasy. He didn't know what to say for a moment. The fight between the two little guys didn't seem to divert his godmother's attention. Director Wang was silent again, just staring blankly at something not far away, as if he was distracted.

Zhu Xuefeng knew that his godmother must be engaged in a fierce ideological struggle at this moment. After all, although what he did was not illegal, it had broken through traditional moral concepts, and his godmother was the director of the neighborhood office.

"Bring her here when you have time so I can take a look. After all, she was once my daughter-in-law."

After a long time, the godmother spoke again, her tone focusing heavily on the word "daughter-in-law".

Zhu Xuefeng felt relieved, knowing that his godmother was accepting the "two daughters-in-law" in disguise.

"Be smart about this matter and don't be confused again. Now is different from the past, not more than ten years ago. You still have a bright future, you know."

Zhu Xuefeng also breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed the matter had been resolved, and he quickly expressed his position.

"Don't worry, I understand."

Director Wang looked at his godson. He had a handsome appearance, was a returnee from overseas, was full of knowledge, and was still so young. How could he be at ease with him?

"The organization takes this person's problem very seriously, and the masses are also concerned about it. You must clean yourself up and never make the same mistake again. Otherwise, don't blame your godmother for being cruel. When the time comes, I will be the first to stand up and criticize you."

After leaving his godmother's house, Zhu Xuefeng realized that even though he had prepared himself mentally, he still broke out in sweat. Thinking of his godmother's repeated instructions and meaningful look, Zhu Xuefeng felt ashamed. Wu Qianqian from Hong Kong, and Qiu Hong...

"What did you say? You want us to go to their home?" Zhu Xuefeng's words startled Xia Yuhong and Lin Na, and both of them were at a loss as to what to do.

"Go ahead. You have to go. After all, an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her mother-in-law." Zhu Xuefeng made a joke with a smile, which resulted in a beating from the two men.

"You are the ugly daughter-in-law. Tell me, you have said it all. How can we face others?"

Xia Yuhong was still struggling, but Lin Na calmed down and said, "Go ahead. You have to meet him anyway."

Time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, they sent the second child away and took the two girls to secretly meet their godmother. The process was easier than the two girls had imagined. The godmother was very kind throughout the whole process. She sent Zhu Xuefeng to coax the two little ones and talked to them for a long time before letting the three of them go home.

"What did I say to you two? You're so secretive and you've been staying for so long."

Lin Na shook her head. "You won't understand women's affairs even if I tell you."

"That's right, godmother said, I won't tell you." I didn't expect that after just meeting once, Xia Yuhong changed the way she addressed him.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. The second brother left, and now it's so chaotic outside. The school is not recruiting students now. I don't want to go to school. I have something to do."

The notice of stopping enrollment and suspending classes has been issued. The school term is not far away, and Zhu Xuefeng does not want to stay there. He plans to go to the autonomous region to see the progress there. There are some things that no one dares to make decisions without him.

"He's running away again." Xia Yuhong got anxious when she heard it. "He hasn't even been here for a month." Lin Na stopped Xia Yuhong. "Let him go. You don't know that the school is in chaos now. It's better for him to leave, so that people won't come to our door later."

Xia Yuhong looked at the man, somewhat reluctant to leave, "How long will you stay this time? When will you be back?"

"If nothing happens, I'll stay for a while. If anything happens, just let the office notify me. By the way, after school starts, keep an eye on my little sister. Once she agrees to go out to school, tell me immediately."

"Got it." Xia Yuhong stomped her feet in annoyance, parked the car, and entered the front yard. Lin Na also parked the car with a smile.

"You, go and comfort her quickly. Don't let her think that you pay attention to her but don't care about her feelings."

Zhu Xuefeng shook his head. This woman's mind was really hard to guess. He parked the car and chased after her. Lin Na smiled and greeted Mr. Xie, smiled again, and chased after her. Xia Yuhong was not young anymore, but the girl's temper was probably something she would never change in her lifetime.

...

In the small conference room of the mansion in Pagang City, Zhu Xuefeng was listening to the report quietly.

"Commander, this is the situation. Because we are in a semi-public hostile relationship, they have been making things difficult for our merchant ships and cargo ships heading to Hong Kong. They even tried to detain the ships twice. In the end, it was not until Xiaojun sent out the navy that they had to let us go. Now we can only sail close to the north to avoid being targeted by them."

"Bring me the map so I can see it."

Xia Ligong quickly spread out a map, and Zhu Xuefeng tapped the Strait of Malacca on the map, thinking quickly in his mind.

The riots in Coconut City have not been restrained because of the last intervention of the autonomous region. Even though the whole world is now condemning it, the unrest here is still getting more and more intense. It has lasted for nearly a year now, but the resistance in various places seems to have become more than in the past life. Coconut City has been putting out fires everywhere in the past year.

Although the autonomous region secretly provided some support and fostered some opposition forces in Malacca, at the beginning, under the military command of the autonomous region, the situation developed rapidly, but after the withdrawal of the autonomous region's military personnel, the situation was quickly reversed. Coconut City should have eliminated the main opposition force and has freed up its hands to quell the resistance in the Malacca area.

The fact that they are now blatantly trying to detain the autonomous region's merchant ships proves that they have begun to ignore the autonomous region's warnings. This is not a long-term solution. The development of the autonomous region is inseparable from Hong Kong's trade. If they continue to strangle it, the autonomous region will not be able to develop.

"Chief, should we proceed to the next plan?"

Li Xiaojun's eyes were full of eagerness, as the leader's final plan included a plan he liked.

Zhu Xuefeng was somewhat hesitant, which was why he had written in his plan that if he wanted to go this far, he would have to be present to make the decision in person.

This small island, known as the Golden Island, together with Malaysia and Star City on the other side of the strait, firmly controls the Malacca Maritime Silk Road. It is extremely rich in gold mines and other minerals, forests, biological resources, oil and other resources. However, its area is as large as 47 square kilometers, and its area and population are close to those of the autonomous region. Moreover, because of its unique geographical location, it has always been much richer than the autonomous region.

"What's the current situation of the resistance organization over there?"

Song Yan glanced at Li Xiaojun, who nodded. "When the resistance organization was at its strongest, it had 28,000 armed forces, occupying two cities and four counties, and controlling a population of nearly two million. But now nearly 50,000 troops have been transferred from Coconut City, plus the original armed forces of Golden Island, there are more than 80,000, and tanks and planes have been dispatched. After several failures, their territory has shrunk dramatically, and now they are all suppressed in this area. It is said that there are more than 19,000 armed forces left."

Li Xiaojun pointed on the map and Zhu Xuefeng frowned slightly. At that time, he supported them in the hope of controlling the area along the strait. Now, they were driven to the central forest area all of a sudden. What hope was there? He could only watch them being slowly wiped out.

Now Zheng Xun and his men have evacuated from the port area opposite the Golden Island to the opposite Golden Island, and have been secretly picking up compatriots who fled from Coconut City. Now, nearly 20,000 people have gathered in the coastal desert area, waiting for the autonomous region to help evacuate. Because they are far away from the prosperous area of ​​​​Golden Island and have been keeping a low profile and stealth, they have not been noticed by the rebels for the time being.

"These people are so stupid. They don't even know how to conduct guerrilla warfare. If they abandon the coast, they will lose the chance to gain our support. How did they choose their leader? They have no brains at all."

Zhu Xuefeng was furious. Although the investment by the autonomous region was not large, it was not small either. Several thousand sets of weapons was also a considerable investment.

"Commander, they have no other options. The enemy has deployed tanks and planes, which they cannot resist. Besides, you asked our people to withdraw. Without a professional military commander, they are lucky to escape."

Zhu Xuefeng nodded. In the past year, a total of nearly 1.6 million people were relocated. He also withdrew the armed forces of the autonomous region and only supported the resistance organizations to hold back Coconut City to prevent Coconut City from having time to spare. He was determined to make things difficult for the autonomous region.

This island nation is the strongest in Southeast Asia, with a territory and population several times that of the autonomous region, and hundreds of thousands of armed forces, including advanced destroyers and bombers. Last time, it was because of the chaos everywhere and the lack of internal defense that it was caught off guard and signed a humiliating compensation agreement. The same is true for Golden Island. The chaos everywhere gave the resistance organizations an opportunity. Once the autonomous region withdrew, the resistance forces were naturally no match.

Zhu Xuefeng walked back and forth in the conference room several times. Although the opponent's combat power was poor, if they really had no worries, they could at least gather 200,000 people. The opponent was fighting on home soil and had airplanes, cannons, and tanks.

"Commander, make up your mind. The first to strike will gain the upper hand, and the last to strike will suffer. If you don't act now, that resistance organization will be gone."

Zhu Xuefeng still did not speak. The autonomous region now has a formal armed force, including the navy, which adds up to just over 9334.55. Is it worth it to go head to head with a country with a population of more than million in order to obtain the right of normal passage through Malacca? (Data from : million)

Besides, if we establish good relations with Star City and pass through the northern side of the strait, Coconut City will have no choice but to block the strait and cause trouble. It doesn't have that ability to do so.

"Chief, I have some information that I think I still need to report to you." Song Yan on the side saw Li Xiaojun scratching his head but couldn't find the key point. He couldn't make the chief make up his mind, so he had to speak.

Zhu Xuefeng was stunned. What other information was there?
"Talk about it."

"Commander, according to the intelligence we received, the rebels did not reduce their atrocities against our compatriots because of our punishment of them. In less than a year, according to estimates, nearly 300,000 families have been destroyed, nearly 100,000 compatriots have been killed, and tens of thousands of women have been humiliated. Moreover, after the resistance organization was forced to retreat this time, they launched a bloody revenge."

"How many Type 59 tanks do we have now? What is the size of our air force?" Zhu Xuefeng asked unexpectedly. (End of this chapter)
