Chapter 1180 Divorce?

Moreover, teleportation has a limited number of uses, so I plan to spend more time with my family before the war starts.

Lin Hao returned to the capital, holding his two sons, listening to their babbling chatter. They occasionally tried to climb out, and 051 even attempted to stand up.

Perhaps because Lin Hao had infused them with life energy when their mothers were pregnant, 051 and 076 were not only good-looking but also very active.

However, this also put Mu Chunhua and Liu Rusi through a lot of trouble. That was bad enough, but they also had to take care of his son Chen Jinrong with Chen Xueru when Chen Xueru was too busy.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of women in the family who can help them share the burden.

So when Lin Hao came back, they immediately asked him to take care of the children, wanting him to experience what it's like to take care of children. However, Lin Hao's performance completely stunned them.

Lin Hao has at least dozens of children in the various worlds, so taking care of children is a piece of cake for him.

Moreover, Lin Hao understands baby language, which not only allows him to take good care of the child, but also enables him to understand the child's needs in a timely manner because he can access memories, making him a better caregiver than his several women.

Lin Hao now senses that 051 is very curious about the outside world and is unwilling to crawl on the ground, trying to stand up and see the world.

So Lin Hao helped his son so that he wouldn't wobble so much when he was learning to walk.

However, it is still an infant. Although it can stand up, it still walks with a bit of unevenness, like an adult walking on cotton. But it is already very good.

Although 076 is two months younger than 051, he also wants to stand up after seeing his older brother stand up and walk.

Seeing that Lin Hao was too busy, Mu Chunhua and Liu Rusi stepped forward to help their son.

"Time flies! More than two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and my child is almost a year and a half old!"

"I remember back then, in order to earn more money to buy penicillin to treat my father's illness, I went to work as a waitress at the Six Nations Hotel."

"But the waitresses at the Six Nations Hotel have a bad reputation. Not only is their job undignified, but they are also frequently harassed by the customers there!"

"At that time, the people of Beijing all compared us waitresses to the women in the Eight Great Hutongs."

"I'm so glad I met you!" Mu Chunhua said gratefully to Lin Hao.
"If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would have done. My father might already be gone. How could I be like this now, having a big, healthy son in my old age, continuing the Mu family line?"

"The name we chose is Mu Heng. Heng means perseverance and persistence. My dad hopes that our child will have perseverance!"

"Haha, perseverance?" Lin Hao chuckled and said, "You must have gotten that from a fortune teller!"

"Mu Heng, Heng does indeed mean perseverance and persistence, but it also implies that the family line will continue uninterrupted!"

"In the Book of Changes, the 'Heng' hexagram also symbolizes longevity and stability, expressing the wish for continuous prosperity and unbroken virtue!"

"So, perseverance and persistence are just superficial. What our father really cares about is the continuation of the Mu family line!"

Mu Chunhua stared at Lin Hao in disbelief. She may not have been well-educated, but she wasn't stupid. After Lin Hao's explanation, she immediately understood her father's thoughts.

However, she already knew that the old man had always cared about this. Although he hadn't said it explicitly before, he had always treated her well, and she could occasionally sense it.

"So there's more to the character 'Heng' than meets the eye." Mu Chunhua leaned against Lin Hao, but then, realizing what he meant, she immediately glared at him and said coldly:

"No, you can even recite the hexagrams from the I Ching without hesitation. You seem to be very cultured. So why did you give your son a number name?"

Lin Hao said helplessly, "Oh, haven't I already explained it? The name Lin Wuyi is quite good, isn't it? Look, even Master Liu doesn't have any objections!"

"Ha, did I say I had no objections?" Liu Rusi said irritably, "I just couldn't argue with you!"

"Why don't you name him Lin Sen, so your son will have the same surname as you? He'll be all wood!"

Lin Hao chuckled twice, then picked up his son and continued playing.

Seeing Lin Hao's embarrassed expression, the two women laughed at the same time. Then, Mu Chunhua seemed to have thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"My lord, the military control commission came to us a couple of days ago and talked about your taking a concubine!"

"Taking a concubine?" Lin Hao glanced at Liu Rusi and Tian Zao, who was standing to the side looking somewhat nervous, and then asked in confusion:

"Why are they looking for me? Although I did take a concubine, I didn't violate their rules or laws. What's there to say?"

Mu Chunhua gritted her teeth and said:
"What they mean is that the new marriage law promulgated in April stipulates that monogamy is implemented and bigamy and concubinage are prohibited."

"That's why we're advising you to divorce us, hoping you can set a good example!"

After Mu Chunhua finished speaking, Liu Rusi, Qin Huairu, Tian Zao, and the others all looked at Lin Hao with nervousness and trepidation.

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao frowned deeply. He knew about the new marriage law, in fact, he knew it better than anyone else and had studied it carefully.

But the new marriage law doesn't require them to divorce, so why are they forcing him to make a choice?

Lin Hao sensed that something must have happened, but he still wanted to explain the detailed provisions of the new marriage law to them first.

The new Marriage Law came into effect on May 1, 1950. Any act of bigamy or concubinage is illegal, and violators will be held criminally liable.

However, for polygamous families that had already been established, the state did not forcibly dismantle them, but instead adopted the principle of "new laws not being retroactive" with respect for women's wishes as the core.

In other words, if neither the wife nor the concubine initiates a divorce, the existing family relationship can continue, and the government will not interfere.

However, if a concubine or the legal wife files for divorce, the government will immediately approve it without the husband's consent, and will guarantee the woman's rights to property division and child custody.

If the husband files for divorce, the wife's consent is required; otherwise, the divorce will not be supported to prevent vulnerable women from being forced to become homeless.

Upon hearing this, the women breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Huairu patted her ample chest and said, "You scared me to death! I thought we had to break up!"

Therefore, the scene in "Sesame Alley" where people from the Military Control Commission come to Yan Zhensheng's door demanding that he divorce Lin Cuiliu or Mu Chunhua is complete nonsense.

Either the screenwriter doesn't understand and writes nonsense just to create conflict, or the military control commission did it on purpose.

When this happened again, Lin Hao felt it might not be a coincidence, so he asked with suspicion, "By the way, the people from the Military Control Commission must know the details of the Marriage Law, so I'm very curious, who exactly are these people? What are their names? And why are they interfering in our affairs?"

Lin Hao didn't believe in coincidences. The reason he could directly reach the Emperor was because he had specifically studied the marriage law during that period in reality. He had already thoroughly studied it, and the marriage law couldn't fool him.

"Uh~!" Tian Zao hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's Sister Li, my former neighbor, Li Hongying!"

"Li Hongying!" Upon hearing this name, Lin Hao immediately recalled the original plot and then understood why the other party had done this.

Alright, alright, Li Hongying, right? This matter won't end like this. In the original drama, Li Hongying ended up with Lin Zheng.

From now on, you two can forget about becoming husband and wife. Lin Hao has big ambitions and is not someone to be easily manipulated. Lin Hao will definitely help Lin Zheng find a good woman. You two can forget about being together in this lifetime.

"Alright, I understand!" Lin Hao said, shaking his head.

"I'm going to get a copy of the Marriage Law later. If they come and ask you to divorce me again, just slap the Marriage Law in their faces!"

"Of course, if you feel that being with me makes you feel restricted or hinders your freedom, you can file for divorce. I will definitely handle this according to the law and will not force you to stay with me!"

"Oh, I understand! We definitely won't divorce you!" Qin Huairu was the quickest to agree.

"We've been husband and wife since childhood, how could I possibly leave you!" Mu Chunhua said solemnly.

Liu Rusi and Tian Zao both nodded, expressing that they would not separate from Lin Hao.

······
As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge without delay. Lin Hao then investigated what exactly happened with Li Hongying and why she deliberately interfered in his marriage.

After Lin Hao's investigation, it turned out that the problem was still with Tian Zao. It turned out that Tian Zao had an emotional breakdown because of Li Tie's (Tiedan's) "spy suspicion" incident, and even impulsively intercepted a military vehicle. He felt that she was "not mature enough" and easily swayed by emotions.

So, citing organizational discipline, she hinted to Tie Dan that she would mentor Tian Zao into becoming an activist and that she planned to introduce her to the organization in the future.

Tian Zao currently needs to focus wholeheartedly on learning about culture and understanding policies; getting married or getting involved in emotional entanglements too early may hinder her progress.

He also implied to Li Tie that "keeping a distance is also a form of protection," which led to Li Tie not communicating with Tian Zao in a timely manner.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hao beat her to it, and in the blink of an eye, Tian Zao became Lin Hao's concubine, making it impossible for them to be together again.

Perhaps out of regret, or perhaps because of Lin Hao's destruction of their revolutionary friendship, after learning that Li Tie had not let go of Tian Zao, he took advantage of ordinary people's lack of knowledge about marriage law and tried to get Lin Hao to take the initiative to divorce Tian Zao.

After learning the whole story, Lin Hao sneered inwardly. She had clearly done something wrong, but she wanted to shift the blame to others and was even preparing to make the same mistake again, trying to break up Lin Hao and Tian Zao in order to achieve her ulterior motives.

Since that's the case, Lin Hao isn't a petty person. Since you've already done the first thing, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth.

So Lin Hao went directly to the department that managed the Fifth District to talk to someone about Lin Zheng's job situation.

In the original drama, Lin Zheng and Li Hongying had already established a romantic relationship before the founding of the People's Republic of China, but they were separated due to the needs of revolutionary work.

Lin Zheng was assigned to patrol and security work, while Li Hongying was appointed as the director of the sixth street of the fifth district, responsible for the construction of grassroots government.

The two spent little time together, and they finally got married in the latter half of 1950, meaning they would be married very soon.

So Lin Hao used his connections to transfer Lin Zheng to Tianjing, and at the same time found them compatible partners and pursued them relentlessly.

As for the outcome, we'll see later. At worst, we'll let them make a small mistake and force them to form separate families.

After doing all this, Lin Hao went to Guan Baohui's house again to see his beloved daughter.

After lingering at Guan Baohui's house until the afternoon, Lin Hao finally arrived at Qianmen Street to find Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru gave birth to a big, healthy baby boy at the end of last year, but he was busy building basic industries at the time, so he didn't have much time to take care of the mother and child.

Unfortunately, neither of them had much time, so they had to leave their son, Chen Jinrong, in the care of Mu Chunhua.

Meanwhile, Lin Hao, after completing the industrial construction, was busy with matters related to flight trainees and fighter jet manufacturing. He had only been home for two days when he organized a red-blue confrontation exercise.

I have to go to war next, so I can only take advantage of this time to take good care of the mother and child and make up for it.

At Chen Xueru's house, there were only three people: Lin Hao, Chen Xueru, and Chen Jinrong. Lin Hao took out a golden longevity lock from his pocket, the same as the one at Guan Baohui's house, but with a slightly different shape.

"I made this longevity lock myself over the past few days."

This longevity lock is engraved with "May you live a long and healthy life" on one side and "May you have a prosperous and glorious life" on the other side.

"It's quite exquisitely crafted. Did you make it yourself?" Chen Xueru asked, taking the gold longevity lock and examining it.

"That's right. I even studied under a goldsmith to make this. I carved it out myself, one chisel at a time. I've been busy with this thing for the past few days!"

This thing was indeed made by Lin Hao, but it wouldn't be worth saying it took several days. With Lin Hao's abilities, he could make seven or eight of these things in one night.

Before 051 was born, he had made more than a dozen such longevity locks. All he had to do was wait for the child to be born, choose a name, and then engrave the name and date on the lock.

"I have to say, your skills are pretty good. I didn't realize you were such a rough guy!"

"Me? A rough guy? What are you thinking?" Lin Hao asked, probing his very soul.

Lin Hao doesn't have a full beard, and his face doesn't look like that of a rough man, but he's been too busy and worried lately, so he looks a bit tired.

Even so, his facial features are more rugged and his body lines are more streamlined. As soon as he takes off his shirt, his streamlined muscles are revealed, and his abs are particularly alluring.

"Don't you know how skillful I am?" Lin Hao stretched out his right hand, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

"Tch, you bad thing, don't corrupt my son." Chen Xueru spat inwardly and poked Lin Hao's forehead with her index finger.

"Jinrong is your son, but what about your other son?" Lin Hao grabbed Chen Xueru and buried himself in her arms.

That evening, Lin Hao rested at Chen Xueru's house. It must be said that Chen Xueru, who was taking care of the child, had a rosy face and was quite pretty!
