"What happened to her?" Lu Xingzhi did not know that Jiang Yao had been questioned next door. When he heard Commissar Wang mention Jiang Yao, he frowned and said with displeasure in his voice, "What did you ask her?"
"It was only a routine question, but your wife has a fierce temper. After two sentences, she cried and even said that she wanted to go back to her hometown..." Commissar Wang sighed. "If she asks you about the divorce, you should also persuade her. The army would never do that to slander people."
When he heard the word divorce, Lu Xingzhi's heart trembled. He did not care that the chief was here; he turned around and left hurriedly.
Commissar Wang sighed when Lu Xingzhi left; he wanted to chase after him. Before he could say anything, the chief called him back into the room. He looked at the chief helplessly. "Their tempers proved that they are from the same family."
However, the chief chuckled. "If she doesn't have a strong temper, how could she subdue Lu Xingzhi, the tyrant?"
It was obvious that the chief was not angry when Lu Xingzhi left so suddenly. "I do admire Jiang Yao. Even though it's good for a woman to be gentle, it's not good to be too passive. We are soldiers. Our wives should not be submissive; they have to be independent and strong."
The chief was not surprised that Commissar Wang did not get any good treatment from Lu Xingzhi's wife. He knew that she was not weak or vulnerable the way she dealt with the military doctor in the auditorium.
He thought that she meant well; if she had good intentions, then it would be fine.
Commissar Wang decided not to worry when he realized that the chief was not anxious about it at all. The chief must be 80% sure of the matter, and he must know how to solve it. He said, "After this matter is over, we should hold a political and ideological lesson for the military families in the region."
