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

Since we can't change He Yingying's mind, we can only try to change the old ideas and concepts of the people in her family.

As for Rere, things are a bit more complicated. Besides loving her, spoiling her, and giving her money, you also have to keep putting in a lot of effort in bed.

Anyway, winning her heart is very difficult, but the person who won her heart has already found a little bit of the trick.

Seeing that Xiao Re was busy, Lu Yanzheng went home and washed all the clothes, shoes and socks she had changed out of.

The sooner we finish our work, the sooner we can get back to work.

Otherwise, it would take another hour or two to clean up after she finished her work.

Mainly, he couldn't bear to see her delicate little hands doing such rough work. The water was so cold; he'd be heartbroken if they got frostbite.

As Lu Yanzheng was squatting in the yard washing clothes, Liang Chunhua from next door came over to greet him, carrying a freshly steamed red date and glutinous rice cake.

"Commander Lu, are you doing laundry? I just made some red date cake and put it in your room for your wife to try."

"Did Xiao cause this?" Lu Yanzheng's eyes widened in surprise.

When did Xiao Re have a boyfriend? Don't all the people in this courtyard treat her like a terrorist and avoid her like the plague?

Why did Liang Chunhua send her pastries?

"Sister Liang, are these pastries for my wife, Re Re, or for my younger sister, Ying Ying?"

No wonder Lu Yanzheng asked that question.

Xiao's interpersonal relationships in the family compound were really bad. On the other hand, He Yingying got along with everyone.

"Of course it's for my sister-in-law. Thank you for your help. It's just a small snack, please don't mind. If you like it, I'll make it for her again next time."

This time, Lu Yanzheng was certain he hadn't misheard.

Liang Chunhua genuinely wanted to befriend Xiao Re. This was a good thing; Re Re finally had a friend.

Hearing this good news made Lu Yanzheng even happier than if he had made some like-minded friends or brothers.

I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"I didn't expect my Rere to be so helpful! How did she help you?"

Liang Chunhua lowered her head and smiled, answering with great embarrassment.

"Sister Xiao is indeed a very thoughtful and kind person. She immediately noticed that I had difficulty conceiving and gave me a secret remedy. She said she would guarantee that I would get pregnant within three months."

"If my wish can really be fulfilled, then my sister-in-law will be my greatest benefactor."

Upon hearing about the secret formula for assisted conception, a glint of surprise flashed in Lu Yanzheng's eyes. However, he pretended to remain calm and asked...

"What's the prescription? Let me see it too. My cousin's wife back home has been trying to conceive for years. I'll have her take some of the herbal soup as well."

Liang Chunhua found it strange. If Lu Yanzheng wanted this prescription, why didn't he ask Xiao Re for it?

"Everyone's constitution is different. Sister Xiao is a skilled doctor. Commander Lu, you can have your sister-in-law come over and take her pulse herself."

"No. My family situation is a bit special, and my relatives back home might not understand Rere. So... could you please take a look at the prescription?"

Liang Chunhua understood what Lu Yanzheng meant.

The affair between Xiao Re and He Yingying was an open secret within the family compound. The Lu family did not approve of Xiao Re.

So when Lu Yanzheng asked Fangzi, she didn't think much of it. She went straight into the room and took out the paper that Xiao Re had written.

"Commander Lu, I'm here."

Lu Yanzheng quickly took out paper and pen and copied it down. Then he returned the prescription to Liang Chunhua.

"Thank you. Please don't tell my daughter, Rere, about this, I'm afraid she'll overthink it!"

"I know that!"

Liang Chunhua was not a talkative person. She usually kept to herself and rarely gathered with the other women in the family compound to chat or gossip about other people's family matters.

After receiving the prescription, Lu Yanzheng quickly hid the note in the bottommost cabinet of the cabinet, like a thief.

I felt panicked and scared. My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my throat.

"As long as Rere takes a few doses of this herbal soup, I will soon have a son. My daughter is also very good; she is soft, beautiful, and radiant."

"Once we have a baby, Rere won't want a divorce anymore."

"Yingying will give up too!"

"The old folks will be happy too."

Lu Yanzheng became more and more excited as he thought about it, wishing he could immediately go and get some Chinese medicine to brew the fertility-enhancing soup so that Xiao Re could drink it all in one go.

However, without a good opportunity, it certainly won't work; Xiao Re would definitely not be willing.

Moreover, Lu Yanzheng had seen her secretly using contraception.

In the middle of last month, Xiao brewed some Chinese medicine for himself late at night.

His brows furrowed in bitterness, and tears were welling up in his eyes, but he still forced himself to drink it for three days straight.

She's perfectly healthy, so what else could she be worried about besides that?

Lu Yanzheng guessed it, but didn't ask for details. Xiao Re only said that he was experiencing some discomfort due to the change in environment when he first arrived at the army base, and needed to rest and calm his mind.

At that time, he didn't think about having children and pretended not to know anything.

It's almost the middle of the month now.

If there's no way to convince Rere to accept the pregnancy, then the only option left is to—switcheroo.

He might be a bit of a scoundrel, but as long as he can keep her, he'd be willing to be anything, even a despicable person.

That evening, Lu Yanzheng was gentler than usual, not rushing straight to the point. Instead, he talked to her indirectly about the child.

"Rere, I didn't know you liked children so much. You're always surrounded by kids, like a little king of the kids. You seem very happy."

"Yes! Children are so innocent, they don't have any bad intentions. Playing with them, I don't have to rack my brains to figure out who's sincere, who's pretending, who's being sarcastic, and who's just being polite. It's so carefree!"

Lu Yanzheng smiled and pulled him closer to his chest, his voice sweet enough to make honey.

"Honey, do you find taking care of the child tiring?"

"It's alright! Not too tiring! Only a few mischievous ones require some attention and management. Most of them are very well-behaved and adorable!"

Hearing this, Lu Yanzheng was even more delighted. He gently kneaded the woman's soft waist, smiling as he tentatively explored her.

"Then, how about we have one too?"

"Wouldn't it be more fun to have your own baby!"

Xiao Re was startled when she heard this and quickly pushed him away.

"screw you!"

"Who wants to have your child?"

"Lu Yanzheng, we're a couple bound by debt. We'll divorce once we pay it off. What are you thinking? If you want a child, wait until I'm gone. Go find He Yingying."

Lu Yanzheng's joy was dashed, and his heart shattered.

He pursed his lips tightly, gazing forlornly at Xiao Re, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.

"I don't want children that aren't yours! In this life, all I want is to have children with you."

"I won't have children. I don't want my child to be born without a father or a mother."

What's gotten into Lu Yanzheng? Why did he suddenly decide to have a child?

When He Yingying got back 30,000 yuan from her hometown to pay off her debts, she became even more aware that she had to get a divorce.

Leaving aside Lu Yanzheng.

The Lu family would never accept her.

Her father would never accept her marrying into that kind of family.

Therefore, settling the debt is good for everyone.

There's no need to get involved in those unrealistic emotions, and even less need to make a child suffer.

"Lu Yanzheng, don't fall in love with me. Didn't you say before that I'm heartless and cold-blooded?"
