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

Political Commissar Wang of the military region, along with the director of the political department, the discipline committee member, the propagandist, the clerk, and others, came to talk to Xiao Re about ideological and political work.

Just then, I overheard the two women from Lu Yanzheng's family arguing.

Moreover, the argument was so heated that it caused chaos and confusion.

Political Commissar Wang, with a cold face, coughed twice forcefully. He immediately adopted an official demeanor, launching into a long lecture and criticism of Xiao Re.

"What's going on? Who's arguing now? What's all the fuss about? This is a military base, not a place for street brawlers!"

"Comrade Xiao, as a military family member, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, abide by the virtues of women, and be civilized, polite, and disciplined."

"Look at you! Your language is vulgar, your behavior is aggressive—you're nothing like a model military wife!"

Xiao Re straightened his back, his eyes clear and stubborn, and looked directly at the other person without the slightest fear.

"It wasn't me who wanted to start the argument; she insulted me first! Before you criticize me, can you at least investigate the facts?"

Political Commissar Wang said.

"The argument between you and Comrade He is an internal conflict of Commander Lu. We'll mediate when he returns."

"We have come here today to rectify your ideology and conduct."

Xiao Re's expression was indifferent, his eyes conveying a frank and firm resolve, and his tone was straightforward and forceful.

"What ideological or conduct problems do I have?"

Political Commissar Wang's face was stern and cold, and he put on airs and exuded authority.

"Yesterday in the military family compound, you called all military wives vixens, spread rumors and caused trouble. This is a serious breach of conduct, bad character, and extremely narrow-minded thinking. You need to be seriously criticized and educated."

"After discussion and deliberation with the political department leaders, it has been decided that you are ordered to publicly apologize to the families in the family compound, write a letter of self-criticism, and post it on the bulletin board. You must also promise to ensure that you will not repeat a similar mistake!"

Xiao Re remained calm, his back ramrod straight, his gaze meeting Political Commissar Wang's with neither arrogance nor servility, his tone calm and clear.

"An apology is fine, no problem. But I'd like to ask the political commissar, have those seven family members who first called me a vixen apologized?"

"If they apologize to me first, then I will accept it unconditionally and apologize to the other military families."

Political Commissar Wang's expression stiffened for a moment, and his tone became somewhat unnatural.

"They made a mistake, but it was unintentional. I will have them apologize to you privately."

"But you insulted all the families in the entire military compound, which is a serious mistake that corrupts morals. Therefore, you must make a public apology."

Ha! Just listen to that tone.

It was obvious that Political Commissar Wang disliked her and was deliberately making things difficult for her and pressuring her.

Xiao Re has always been the type of person who stands up to the strong and helps the weak, so how could she let others bully her like this?

She smoothed a stray hair from her temple and began to question him clearly and logically.

"Political Commissar Wang, your way of handling things is unfair."

"First, it was clearly those seven family members who insulted me first. Why is it that their actions were unintentional, but I'm the one who committed a major offense? What did I do wrong? Was it because I'm pretty?"

"Secondly, both are apologies. Why did they apologize privately, while I have to apologize publicly? And why do I have to write a self-criticism? Is it because their education level is too low and they can't write? Or is it because their apologies lack sincerity and are unacceptable?"

"Third. I am Lu Yanzheng's wife. I've been in the army for less than three days, and I don't know anyone. I haven't offended or hurt anyone. Why, on my second day here, am I being slandered and insulted behind my back, and called a vixen by a group of people? May I ask, is this how your military compound welcomes new family members?"

"If that's the case, I'll give every new family member who comes to live with us a good scolding. Let them all experience the fine traditions and wonderful atmosphere of our military compound."

"Fourth, you five grown men came to cause me trouble and make things difficult while my husband was away. Doesn't this constitute bullying the weak, ganging up on the few, and harassing a woman?"

With such a heavy burden placed upon them, Political Commissar Wang and his entourage turned pale, and their voices trembled.

"No! We're just discussing your ideology and work style from a professional perspective."

Xiao Re's eyes were sharp, and his words were like knives, causing Political Commissar Wang and his entourage to break out in a cold sweat. Their previously composed official demeanor collapsed instantly, and they all trembled, not daring to utter a sound.

"If it's just about work, about rectifying my personal conduct, you could have come when my husband is home. Or you could have called all seven of my family members over. Instead of so many grown men bullying me!"

"No, no, that's not it, Comrade Xiao..."

Before Political Commissar Wang and the others could explain, Xiao Re interrupted them directly and continued to cut to the bone.

"Fifth, I am Lu Yanzheng's legal wife, representing the status of a family member of a youth league cadre. Those gossipy women who talk about me, curse me, and insult me ​​behind my back are just looking down on my husband and have a problem with him."

"Or perhaps, their men are dissatisfied with my man."

With each additional word Xiao said, the faces of Political Commissar Wang and his entourage paled a little more.

If Xiao keeps going like this, it won't just be a quarrel between women, but a power struggle between men.

If the conflict escalates, it will cause great turmoil throughout the entire military region.

"Comrade Xiao, please stop talking. We don't need you to apologize or write a self-criticism, okay?"

"No way!"

"I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Xiao Re's lips curled into a wicked smile. He glanced at everyone present with a dismissive look and spoke slowly and deliberately, each word piercing to the heart.

"Sixth, didn't you all unanimously decide that I should issue a public apology? Fine, I'm willing to do so!"

"I also want to see how far Lu Yanzheng will go for me when I'm bullied and his face is humiliated."

"What do you think?"

Upon hearing those last words, Political Commissar Wang felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. His face turned deathly pale, and he swayed, almost losing his footing.

The lower-ranking officers behind them were soaked in sweat, their legs trembling with fear, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Only after Xiao Re reminded him did Political Commissar Wang realize how foolish he had been to come here.

Because he felt he had lost face, and driven by selfish motives, he only wanted to cause Xiao Re some trouble and dampen her arrogance.

But they forgot that Xiao Re was backed by Lu Yanzheng. Xiao Re's respectability represented Lu Yanzheng's reputation.

Women bickering and arguing is usually harmless. But once men get involved, the nature of the situation changes.

Lu Yanzheng's methods in the military camp were exceptionally tough.

In terms of ability, merit, strength, and achievements, even though he is a level above Lu Yanzheng, he may not be able to compete with him.

He was nearly fifty years old, while Lu Yanzheng was only thirty; their futures were immeasurable.

Moreover, Lu Yanzheng is exceptionally capable and is a person whom the leader highly values ​​and cultivates.

If he really wins the fight, he'll probably have to retire from this military uniform in less than a year.

After realizing this, Political Commissar Wang quickly apologized to Xiao Re.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Xiao, I was confused. I came here rashly without investigating the matter properly. I apologize, please don't hold it against me!"

"Furthermore, we will deal seriously with those military family members who spoke ill of you behind your back, and make them apologize to you!"

After Political Commissar Wang finished speaking, the group behind him also saluted.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you!"

Since Political Commissar Wang was able to recognize his mistake and apologize, Xiao Re stopped holding it against him.

After all, if things really escalate, even if Lu Yanzheng is very capable, it wouldn't be worth it to fight against multiple opponents and end up with both sides suffering heavy losses.

Moreover, after arguing with Lu Yanzheng last night, she also realized the coldness of men.

It's uncertain whether Lu Yanzheng will stand up for her if something really happens.

Therefore, since the other party had backed down, she readily accepted the apology and generously saved face for them.

"It's alright. Since it's a misunderstanding, it'll be cleared up. Political Commissar Wang meant well, trying to maintain unity, harmony, and a clean and honest atmosphere within the troops. It's understandable!"

"As for the apologies from those family members, there's no need. It's just a few jokes between women; there's no need to make a big deal out of it."

"By the way, you must be tired from your long journey. Why don't you come in and have a seat? I just made a few dishes, would you like to try them?"

"Ah! No, no, no!" Commissar Wang and his entourage fled in panic.

They had already heard a little about Xiao Re's glorious cooking skills when they arrived.

If you actually take a couple of bites, you'll either choke to death or be poisoned!
