Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 189 I want a divorce
Li Hongying wiped away her tears as she spoke, "Jasmine, I know I have no face to ask you for help. Xiao Qing has done many things that have wronged you, but she doesn't deserve to end up like this. For the sake of your sisterhood, please help her."

Jiang Moli asked curiously, "Aunt Hongying, how do you want me to help her?"

Li Hongying hurriedly said, "Talk to the Zhang family and tell them not to lock Xiaoqing up. How can you lock a perfectly healthy person up with a dog chain? How will Xiaoqing ever be able to face people again?"

Jiang Moli chuckled: "First of all, the Zhang family might not listen to an outsider like me. Secondly, what if Jiang Qing runs away again and the Zhang family comes after me for her? What am I supposed to do then?"

"No, I will talk to Xiaoqing properly."

Li Hong spoke haltingly, clearly unsure of herself whether her daughter would run away again.

“Aunt Hongying, you can ask the brigade and commune for help to solve this problem. Otherwise, there is the Women’s Federation and the police. Their words will definitely carry more weight than mine.”

Li Hongying knew she could ask the commune and the women's federation for help, but she also had her concerns.

The daughter's life in her husband's family is already so difficult. If she makes such a scene and embarrasses the Zhang family, wouldn't they be even less likely to accept her?
Furthermore, she also had to consider her son-in-law and couldn't let this matter affect his future.

"Jasmine, let's keep our family matters to ourselves and resolve them behind closed doors. There's no need to make a spectacle of ourselves in front of outsiders, right?"

Jiang Moli smiled enigmatically: "It's hard to have it all in life. You have to lose either face or substance. Why don't you ask Jiang Qing? She's always been smart and decisive, and she'll probably have a way to get herself out of this predicament."

Back at the Lu family home, after chatting with Lu Dezhao and An Hui about gossip for a while, I washed up and went to bed.

Perhaps because she slept too much in the afternoon, Jiang Moli felt more and more energetic as she lay in bed.

She summoned the system: "What's my current mission progress?"

『Task progress 6766/10000, Host's personal account balance 67660000』

Jiang Moli sat up abruptly from the bed.

She has a habit of not being able to lie still when she's happy; she gets anxious and needs to find something to do.

He glanced at the empty bed next to him, sighed, and lay back down.

"System, let's chat for a bit, shall we?"

What would you like to talk about, host?

"What would happen if, and I mean what if, I didn't return to my original world after completing the mission?"

The consequence is that you'll have to stay here.

"What about my 1 million yuan bonus? They're not going to forgo giving it to me, are they?"

"No, but to avoid economic collapse, the host's bonus will be converted according to the current world's prices."

"How much is that?"

10 million.

"Robbery? 1 million turned into 10? You're robbing me!"

"It's calculated comprehensively based on per capita income and the proportion of the wealthy. Only in this way can the host's presence prevent the monetary mechanism here from becoming unbalanced. So, host, do you plan to stay here?"

"Just chatting. What would happen if I failed to complete the task within a year?"

"It will be erased, it will disappear."

Jiang Moli: "Apologize to me, you scared me."

"Heh. Host, as your partner, I feel it's necessary to remind you again: men will only slow down the rate at which you earn 'disdain points.' Once you complete the mission and return to your original world, you'll have as many men as you want."

"System, you don't understand love. Men are valued for their quality, not their quantity."

What's so good about him?

"Live well."

"..."

……

In the morning, Jiang Moli opened her bedroom door and heard people talking in the living room.

She glanced at it curiously and saw Wu Miaoyun, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

Wu Miaoyun was talking excitedly with An Hui when she saw her and paused.

Jiang Moli smiled and stepped forward: "Hi, Aunt Wu, long time no see. What are you and your mom chatting about? You seem to be having a great time. I'd like to hear your story too."

An Hui looked at Jiang Moli and asked, "Why are you up so early?"

Jiang Moli: "Then should I go back to my room and sleep for a while?" An Hui glared at her, "Get up and go wash up. I've left your breakfast in the pot."

"Alright, you guys chat."

After watching Jiang Moli enter the bathroom, Wu Miaoyun turned her attention back to An Hui and continued talking about her daughter's marriage.

When Jiang Moli finished washing up and changing her clothes, An Hui had already set breakfast on the table for her.

A golden-yellow cornbread, a boiled egg, a bowl of porridge, and pickled vegetables mixed with chili oil.

"Mom, I'm so lucky to have you."

Hearing this, An Hui couldn't help but smile. "Alright, hurry up and eat."

"okay."

Jiang Moli sat down and started eating. "Oh, where's Aunt Wu? She left so soon? Is she still holding a grudge about me breaking her rice bowl? Mom, you should have a good talk with Aunt Wu another day. Getting angry isn't good for your health, especially for older women. It not only causes wrinkles but also makes them prone to breast hyperplasia..."

An Hui's forehead throbbed as she listened.

The third son's wife has a mouth that can be both sweet and poisonous.

After she finished rambling on, An Hui said to her, "If you say less in front of Aunt Wu in the future, she will be less angry."

Jiang Moli blinked. "As the saying goes, it's better to die for a friend than for yourself. It's better for me to anger outsiders than to anger you and Dad at home, right?"

Anhui: “…”

You're quite filial, aren't you?

"Your Aunt Wu came to talk about Chen Xue's wedding, which is scheduled for National Day."

Today is September 21st, and there are only ten days left until National Day.

"So fast? Chen Xue didn't have a boyfriend before I left, right?"

An Hui teased her, "No matter how fast you are, you can't outrun the third brother. He only saw you once, and he's already making a huge fuss about marrying you."

That's true.

In this era of arranged marriages, it's not uncommon for couples to get married without ever having met, let alone just meeting once.

"The groom's parents are very satisfied with Chen Xue and want to get the wedding done as soon as possible. Your Aunt Wu is very happy. Chen Xue is two years older than you. She will be 23 next year. If she doesn't get married soon, she will become an old maid."

"And what about the man himself? Is he satisfied with Chen Xue?"

An Hui shook her head and said, "The man is also in the military. He had a mission and didn't come to the blind date yesterday. His parents came instead. But after seeing the photos, he is quite handsome."

……

Li Hongying opened the lunchbox and handed Jiang Qing the crucian carp soup she had cooked at home.

"Drink the soup while it's still warm to replenish your nutrition."

Jiang Qing took the lunchbox and inexplicably felt an extremely strong fishy smell, which made her feel nauseous.

She handed the fish soup back to Li Hongying with disdain, saying, "Did you not wash the fish properly? It smells awful."

Li Hongying sniffed it and said in surprise, "It's not fishy at all. I specially fried the fish in oil and added ginger slices and peppercorns. There's not much fishy smell. Your reaction is too strong. You can't even eat the slightest bit of fishy smell?"

Jiang Qing looked at Li Hongying incredulously: "What kind of reaction did you give?"

"Pregnancy is like this. When I was pregnant with you, I couldn't stand the smell of fish either. I'll make you bone broth next time."

Jiang Qing was stunned.

She had indeed experienced chest tightness, nausea, and vomiting for the past few days, but she attributed it to depression caused by being confined by the Zhang family.

Is she really pregnant?

“Jasmine is back. I told her about your situation, hoping she could help persuade your in-laws. Xiao Lu is Jiaming’s boss, so they should listen to Jasmine. Jasmine told me to go to the commune and the Women’s Federation.”

Jiang Qing's eyes reddened with anger: "She's the one who made me like this, how could she possibly help me!"

Li Hongying couldn't help but shed tears, "Xiao Qing, how are you going to live from now on?"

Jiang Qing watched her cry, and after a while, she suddenly said, "Mom, I want a divorce."
