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

"Oh, so it was because of three chickens that he hanged himself? That's really petty!"

"Exactly. Who in this compound doesn't argue and get red in the face, even to the point of serious injury? But I've never seen anyone act this violently."

"Listening to her wailing and lamenting, you'd really think someone had done something to her?"

Some of the more intelligent people in the crowd began to realize what was going on. They noticed that Zhou Meiyu's expression had suddenly become indifferent, and now carried a hint of scrutiny and speculation.

They no longer blindly offer advice or comfort.

What if giving advice leads to something bad? Wouldn't that bring trouble upon myself?

Zhou Meiyu, who had already been pulled down, heard Lu Yanzheng's sarcastic words and saw the three live chickens at her feet, spitting blood and with their tongues pulled out.

Terrified, his eyes rolled back, his face turned deathly pale, and he trembled uncontrollably, his cries stuck in his throat.

She steeled her heart, feeling as if her face was being trampled in the mud, and a desperate thought arose within her, and she truly felt a bit resigned to death.

The previous apology was made in a private room. Now, to be humiliated in front of everyone—how could her strong-willed nature and proud dignity withstand that?

He grabbed the scissors from the windowsill and stabbed himself in the chest.

Blood immediately stained the clothes red.

Fortunately, the scissors weren't big, and Hao Xiangdong was wearing thick clothes, so he managed to block one of them.

Otherwise, given her reckless and ruthless nature, she might actually cause a death.

Lu Yanzheng didn't expect this shrew to actually have some fierceness; after saying a few words to her, she really got serious.

They were stunned for a moment.

He had led troops for sixteen years, encountering countless fearless revolutionary heroes and many enemy spies, but this was the first time he had ever met a shrew who was about to hang herself or slit her own throat.

It's both unlucky and absurd.

If his soldiers were throwing tantrums and making a scene like this, he would have killed them with a single peanut long ago.

But Zhou Meiyu was a woman, and a military dependent, so he couldn't use the methods he used to lead troops to be rough with her.

He could only suppress his anger and let her throw a tantrum.

Seeing that Lu Yanzheng couldn't do anything about her, Zhou Meiyu became even more arrogant.

They even took advantage of this shameless and rascal-like behavior to make unreasonable demands.

"Commander Lu, I'm making this clear today: Xiao Re must publicly apologize to me."

"And compensate me with three intact chickens, medical expenses, nutritional expenses, and compensation for emotional distress."

"Otherwise, I'll kill myself."

"A regimental-level cadre and his family, abusing their power, drove a subordinate's wife to her death. If this matter is brought to the higher authorities, you won't get away with it either."

"If you don't apologize, I'll fight you to the death!"

Lu Yanzheng was so angry that his chest heaved violently, veins bulged on his forehead, and his violent aura almost overflowed. He wanted to use force to deal with this rogue woman on the spot.

Political Commissar Wang and several other cadres and leaders around him tried their best to hold him back and earnestly persuaded him.

"Commander Lu, let it go. Just have your Comrade Xiao apologize and back down, and that'll be the end of it. If someone dies, it will be bad for you and for the unit."

"Yanzheng, we're soldiers, we're men. We have to be politically aware, consider the bigger picture, and be flexible. Don't argue with a woman. Just let her have her way! Judging by her attitude, if she doesn't apologize, she might just die in front of you!"

……

The surrounding chatter and advice were all mixed together, all urging him to compromise, and every word was designed to suppress his temper.

Hao Xiangdong, his eyes also red, staggered and knelt down in front of Lu Yanzheng, pleading with a face full of sorrow and a hint of timidity.

"Commander Lu, I'm begging you, please don't stoop to her level, just grant her request. I really have no other choice. If she really tries to commit suicide, my family will fall apart!"

Just as Lu Yanzheng was about to give in, swallow his anger, and let the matter drop,

A clear, crisp voice, both cool and penetrating, came from outside.

"Lu Yanzheng, wait!"

Xiao Re, dressed in a light apricot-colored low-cut floral dress, walked gracefully from the crowd, her neck covered in red marks.

The first thing he said was...

"Let her die!"

An apology is out of the question!

"Since I moved into the family compound, I have never cursed her or hit her. Even if she dies, even if the matter goes all the way to the General Military Region Headquarters, her death will have nothing to do with me."

"On the contrary, a young, promising, and handsome outstanding officer like Company Commander Hao can't be a widower for life. I'm afraid that before the seven-day mourning period is over, there will be plenty of women waiting to marry into his family."

"Little Dongzi and Little Meizi are both well-behaved; their stepmother will surely treat them kindly!"

Everyone was stunned by these words.

In particular, Zhou Meiyu's face turned pale and her body stiffened. Upon hearing that her husband was going to marry another woman and that her children were going to call another woman "Mom," she went completely mad, her eyes turning as red as a blood-dripping demon.

However, Hao Xiangdong, upon hearing Xiao Re's boastful words, secretly blushed on his originally sorrowful face.

Immediately afterward, before Zhou Meiyu could catch her breath, Xiao Re continued speaking.

"Which military wife doesn't rack her brains to solve her husband's problems, manage the household, and be a good helpmate?"

"And Zhou Meiyu, what have you gained from this tantrum, this threats to die, besides damaging your man's reputation and future?"

"Even if you really die, every year during the Qingming Festival when we burn incense, Company Commander Hao might still complain that you're bad luck and that you're affecting his promising career for promotion."

Zhou Meiyu screamed in exasperation.

"Shut up. Dong-ge is very loyal to me. He's not that kind of person."

Xiao Re smiled, raising an eyebrow slightly, his tone cold and sarcastic.

"It's true that Company Commander Hao has feelings for you, but it's hard to say whether a woman or one's future is more important."

"After you die, I'll introduce him to a pretty young widow, or a beautiful young girl. My Commander Lu will give her a promotion, and who will remember where your grave is then?"

Zhou Meiyu was so angry that she trembled all over, frozen in place, unable to say a word.

On the contrary, Hao Xiangdong's eyes lit up when he heard these words.

Just as everyone was stunned by Xiao Re's words, their minds exploded and their mouths gaped open.

Xiao Re pulled out a brand-new dagger from somewhere and threw it directly next to Zhou Meiyu.

"If you're going to die, die cleanly. Those scissors are too dull; you need a knife."

"I'm kind-hearted and can't bear to see women suffer. Just a friendly reminder: the heart is on the left, not the right. When you prick me, use more force and prick me all the way through so you can get it over with quickly."

"To avoid suffering for nothing, even if you manage to die!"

Zhou Meiyu was so frightened that she scrambled to her feet, her lips trembling and her voice shaking.

He glared at Xiao Re with deadpan eyes.

"You want me to die? I'll refuse. Wouldn't you be even happier if I died?"

"I won't let Dong-ge have the chance to marry another woman and make you a laughingstock."

Xiao Re chuckled and slowly clapped his hands, applauding her.

"That's ambitious!"

"Even when you're contemplating suicide, you still consider my feelings. Thank you!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Re raised his eyes and swept them over the stunned crowd, his voice loud and clear.

"Political Commissar Wang, leaders, soldiers, and military spouses, please bear witness."

"Today, Comrade Zhou Meiyu said she's not going to die, and she wants to live well. Well, I'm not going to concern myself with that anymore. From now on, whether she dies of anger, suffocation, chokes on her food, chokes on her water, or chokes on a chicken bone, it has nothing to do with me!"

"I didn't provoke her, I didn't hit her or yell at her!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment!

Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Wang froze on the spot, opening his mouth but unable to utter a single word.

The entire group fell silent, even their breathing became lighter, and they stared at Xiao Re with wide eyes, no one daring to utter a sound.

I've seen people give advice before, but I've never seen it done like this.

I've seen people with sharp tongues, but I've never seen anyone this sharp.

I've seen people kill someone by destroying their spirit, but I've never seen someone not only destroy their spirit but also grind their bones to ashes.

This Commander Lu's wife is someone you can't afford to offend, absolutely not.

From now on, if I see her when I go out, it won't be enough to keep my distance by ten meters, I'll have to keep it by twenty.
