Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

It was past midnight when we returned to the barracks. The entire family compound was dark and quiet.

The tractor rattled in, making so much noise that the neighbors in the yard came out impatiently to yell and curse.

"Who is it, making such a racket in the middle of the night? Can't a person get some sleep?"

Lu Yanzheng's face was dark, and he apologized to everyone with a stiff smile and a tight mouth.

"Sorry, my wife did some shopping, and she bought a bit too much. Sorry to bother everyone."

A whole truckload of goods was unloaded and instantly filled the entire yard.

Everyone gasped in shock.

Good heavens! This isn't purchasing; it's more like moving mountains!

The milk, snacks, candy, and canned goods were piled up in boxes and boxes. Not to mention the grains, rice, oil, meat, and noodles. There were three large bags of clothes alone, as well as many bottles and jars of face cream, bags, and shoes.

What's even more enviable is the row of exquisite jewelry inside the mahogany box, which looks incredibly valuable.

This woman is such a spendthrift!

What woman buys three necklaces and ten pairs of earrings at once?

Where did she get so much money?

Xiao Re doesn't have much money, but Lu Yanzheng does. He made over ten thousand yuan from that one night he slept with Lu Yanzheng.

Moreover, it was agreed that I would receive 30 yuan in the divorce settlement. With so much money, I should spend it properly to make it more exciting.

In any case, I will never do anything that makes me feel wronged; my main goal is to infuriate others without any repercussions.

She came to the military region solely for revenge, to extort money, and to cause trouble for He Yingying and Lu Yanzheng.

Now that Lu Yanzheng isn't feeding her, she needs to stock up on all the food and supplies she can to have the strength to fight a protracted war with them.

As the saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach." On her first day at camp, she was treated to a meager meal.

From this day forward, she will never eat a single bite of food from Lu Yanzheng again.

Secondly, war always requires weapons.

Her greatest weapon is her beauty. She always makes sure to keep her skin looking radiant and youthful, and dress herself up beautifully, so that she can keep Lu Yanzheng hooked.

Before she gets a divorce, He Yingying can forget about getting any affection from Lu Yanzheng.

Finally, all the cargo on the tractor was unloaded, and Lu Yanzheng was covered in sweat from exhaustion.

He asked, puzzled.

"Why did you buy so much stuff?"

"We need to eat, wear clothes, and use other things!"

Xiao Re directed Lu Yanzheng to move all the things to his room, and then strolled over leisurely.

"Lu Yanzheng, He Yingying, you two come here, let's settle the accounts."

Lu Yanzheng was so tired that he couldn't straighten his back and collapsed onto the sofa, not wanting to move even a finger.

He Yingying was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, and she slumped listlessly on the table.

"What's the point of settling accounts? What does your purchase have to do with me? Don't even think about putting the blame on me."

Xiao Re glanced at her, his tone indifferent yet unusually serious.

"It has nothing to do with you, but it does concern Lu Yanzheng. Do you want to settle the score?"

Upon hearing the name Lu Yanzheng, He Yingying immediately perked up. She was curious to hear what this was all about. Was it something that all three of them had to settle together?

"What's so special about it?"

Xiao Re took out paper and pen and solemnly announced.

"From today onwards, we'll each take care of our own food, clothing, and daily necessities. I won't take a single penny from you, nor will I ask for any favors. What do you think?"

He Yingying thought it was perfect. She wanted it this way and didn't want Zheng Ge to give her anything, not even a piece of vegetable or a grain of rice.

"Of course, I have no objection!"

He Yingying had no objection, but Lu Yanzheng frowned, his deep, hoarse voice carrying a hint of both affection and anger.

"Why are you being so calculating? Can't I support you?"

Xiao smiled, his tone calm, like a smooth and experienced businessman.

"It's better to be clear about things. Even close brothers keep clear accounts, let alone a fake couple."

Lu Yanzheng was speechless. He couldn't be bothered to pay her any attention.

Cough cough--

Xiao Re cleared his throat and began to lay out the serious accounts on the table.

"Lu Yanzheng, I know you are a loyal and righteous person, and you want to marry He Yingying. As for me, I am also a magnanimous and reasonable person. I'll say it again, I'm willing to let you two be together."

"But I still need the 30 yuan compensation we agreed on. We'll get a divorce when the money arrives."

"Look, Comrade He Yingying is not getting any younger. We'll get a divorce this morning, and you two can get married today. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

"Comrade He Yingying doesn't need to become an old maid, right?"

Although these words sound like they're for Yingying's sake, they don't quite sound right.

He Yingying's mind wasn't quite clear yet. She half-foolishly echoed her.

"It's good that you understand."

"Tell me, how should we settle this score?"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Re realized the girl was on the right track and immediately began to make plans with great enthusiasm.

"I know that 300,000 is a considerable sum. You can't come up with that much all at once, so we can repay it in installments."

"Lu Yanzheng, you've worked for so many years, you must have quite a bit of savings, right? Let's take out some to pay off the debt first, and then the three of us can sign a contract together, how about that?"

Hearing this, Lu Yanzheng still didn't understand what kind of scheme Xiao Re was plotting. All his years as a military leader had been for nothing.

However, he is willing to sign the contract.

Anyway, I can't pay back 300,000 in this lifetime, so I might as well tie this woman down and stop her from talking about divorce every day.

Furthermore, once He Yingying signs this contract, their childhood betrothal will be null and void. Even if their elders pressure them later, they'll have a reason to object.

Either pay off the debt with 300,000, or accept Xiao's actions.

Lu Yanzheng was never a heartless person. He had only slept with this one woman in his life. Although she was a bit spoiled, a bit bad, and a bit wild, he had no choice but to get involved with her.

What else can we do but go along with it?

"Fine! Pay it off as soon as possible, then we can get a divorce!"

To make He Yingying feel better, Lu Yanzheng deliberately put on a cold face and spoke very harshly.

Xiao Re felt a pang in his heart, and a barely perceptible shadow of sadness flickered across his eyes, but he quickly replaced it with a smile and said in a gentle tone.

"Commander Lu has a higher level of awareness."

"Come on! Let's calculate your salary first."

Lu Yanzheng turned around and went into the house, taking out his salary savings book and handing it to her.

"Thirteen thousand dollars. Remember that."

This contains all his salary, bonuses, and subsidies since he joined the army, which he hasn't received in the past fifteen years.

Xiao Re smiled and took the folding book, made a note in the ledger, then wrote a repayment note, signed and stamped it, all in one go.

"Of the 300,000 yuan debt, 13,000 yuan has been repaid, leaving 287,000 yuan still owed."

"Commander Lu, Comrade He Yingying, could you please sign this as well?"

The moment He Yingying pressed her handprint, not only Xiao Re, but Lu Yanzheng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Re looked at He Yingying with a smile.

"When husband and wife are of one mind, their strength can break metal. The most precious love is one that shares both happiness and debt."

"Comrade He Yingying, in order for you to marry the man you love as soon as possible, would you like to help him pay off his debts?"

"After all, you're not young anymore. Why don't you pay off your debts and get married sooner?"
