The aloof military doctor arrives at the unit, and the tough guy can't sit still.

"How could that be? I'll go with you to see right now."

Xia Qiuran quickly followed Lu Zhenghan to Yan Jun's house.

After passing through the bustling streets, the two entered a relatively new tenement building. As soon as Xia Qiuran entered, she saw a large wardrobe with a full-length mirror placed against the wall, along with a sofa, a sewing machine, a tape recorder, and everything else imaginable.

Xiao Dong was still fast asleep on his small bed, while Yan Jun and his wife sat in the two furthest positions, one to the south and one to the north.

"How is the child?" Lu Zhenghan asked anxiously first.

Yan Jun stubbed out his cigarette, stood up, and replied, "Fortunately, we discovered it in time, and he's out of danger."

Xia Qiuran quickly came to the bedside to check Yan Xiaodong's physical condition, and she held Xiaodong's little hand to examine it carefully.

My mind is blank, my emotions are depressed, and my mental state is even worse than last time. How could this be?

"You two are arguing again." After a while, Xia Qiuran put down Xiao Dong's hand and turned to ask Yan Jun and his wife.

"No, we didn't argue, and I've been taking the medicine according to the prescription you gave me," Yan Jun's wife, Wu Xiaona, immediately denied.

"How did that child get those scratches on his hands?" Xia Qiuran glanced at the fresh scratches on the child's hands.

"I guess I got hurt in the river," Wu Xiaona replied, her eyes slightly evasive.

"And what about your wrist?" Xia Qiuran asked, looking at Wu Xiaona's wrist.

Actually, she had already noticed the bandage on Wu Xiaona's wrist when she came in. It was a fresh injury. How could there be so many coincidences in one day?

Wu Xiaona quickly pulled her sleeves down even further. In the end, I couldn't hold back anymore. I closed my eyes tightly and a tear rolled down my cheek. I gritted my teeth and said, "I've told you a hundred times, go do your homework and memorize your poems, but he insists on playing that broken accordion."

"What's wrong with playing the accordion? Are you going to smash the accordion just because you play it?!" Yan Jun stood up and said excitedly.

"Zhenghan, to be honest, Xiaodong's condition has really improved a lot recently. Before, he was considered good just because he didn't lose his temper, let alone read or write."

"But today, just because Xiaodong didn't follow her instructions, she went crazy again and smashed the accordion in front of the child. The child couldn't take it and ran to jump into the river."

"I had no choice. I was afraid that Dr. Xia wouldn't come if she knew the truth, so I told this lie." Yan Jun finished speaking, lit another cigarette, and took a deep drag.

Wu Xiaona took a deep breath, her eyes seemingly filled with resentment. "Yan Jun, speak properly. Is it really just what you said?"

"If you hadn't hit me, would Xiao Dong have run out and jumped into the river?"

"It was just a slap. Xiao Dong isn't that fragile. If you hadn't cut his wrist with that fruit knife, Xiao Dong wouldn't have jumped into the river. If you want to die in the future, choose a place far away and don't get in our way." Yan Jun suddenly threw away the cigarette he had just lit and shouted at Wu Xiaona.

These words completely enraged Wu Xiaona. Her lips twitched slightly as she glared at Yan Jun with resentment.

"You're talking bullshit! I've figured it out, Yan Jun, you're not human. Even if I'm going to die, I'll take you down with me first."

After saying that, he became agitated, walked into the kitchen, picked up a cleaver, and went straight for Yan Jun to chop.

"You crazy woman, stop right now!"

As Yan Jun dodged, he bumped into the corner of the table and tripped, falling to the ground.

Wu Xiaona had completely lost her mind at this point, and the kitchen knife in her hand was about to be chopped down at his face.

Just as the cleaver was about to fall, Lu Zhenghan was quick-witted and grabbed Wu Xiaona's wrist.

Wu Jun was so frightened that his face turned pale and sweat broke out on his forehead. He sat on the ground for a while before he recovered. After standing up, he glared fiercely at Wu Xiaona.

"Fine, Wu Xiaona, you're serious with me? I'll kill you." He then grabbed a vase from the table and smashed it at her.

Wu Xiaona instinctively crouched down to dodge, and the vase flew straight through the air, heading straight for Xia Qiu behind her.

Xia Qiuran had no time to react and could only cover her head with her hands, but in the end she only heard the sound of the vase breaking and did not feel any pain.

She lowered her arm and looked up to see that Lu Zhenghan had blocked the blow with his forearm.

Blood seeped through the sleeves of the military green shirt.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, it fell onto the floor.

"Do you have a first-aid kit?" Xia Qiuran quickly lifted Lu Zhenghan's sleeve and asked the two of them nervously.

"Yes, yes, I'll go get it." This also brought Yan Jun back to his senses, and he quickly found the first-aid kit at home.

Lu Zhenghan's arm was carefully bandaged by Xia Qiuran. He glanced at Yan Jun, who was sitting in the chair with messy hair and a haggard face, and felt quite helpless.

The two were about the same age and met when they were ordering uniforms for the military. Because they got along well, they became friends. This situation is the last thing Lu Zhenghan wanted to see.

"Yan Jun, if you really think there's a problem with your marriage, you can find a way to solve it. But hitting a woman will not only not solve your problem, but will also make people look down on you," Lu Zhenghan said sternly.

"Comrade Yan, Comrade Wu, Xiao Dong is physically healthy and has no intellectual problems. He's even smarter than most children. He's like this because of too much psychological pressure." Xia Qiuran continued to persuade him, "Children will subconsciously imitate adults' solutions when they encounter problems. Your constant arguing and even extreme behaviors like suicide are really detrimental to his growth."

Xia Qiuran realized that the children were the ones suffering the most in this family, and if the couple didn't handle their relationship well, this kind of thing would definitely happen again.

After a long silence, Yan Jun rubbed his temples and finally lowered his head to say to Wu Xiaona, "I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions just now."

Upon hearing the apology, Wu Xiaona's expression softened considerably. She had never seen Yan Jun be so cooperative during their previous arguments. However, remembering his earlier actions, she still turned her head away with a cold face.

"Xiao Na, maybe it was a mistake for us to get together in the first place. Let's not continue down that path." After a long pause, Yan Jun continued.

Wu Xiaona immediately turned her head in astonishment. Divorce at this time was considered a major stain on one's life, even more humiliating than going to jail for a crime. Wu Xiaona couldn't believe her ears and stared intently at Yan Jun. "What did you say?"

"Everything in the house is yours, but the children are mine," Yan Jun explained again, raising his head.

"Yan Jun, what are you saying? What can't we talk about? Why do you have to take this step?" Lu Zhenghan immediately stood up and reprimanded him sternly, his reaction even more agitated than Wu Xiaona's.

In his mind, once you get married, it's for life, and you will never separate unless one of you dies.

"I've already made up my mind, Zheng Han, you don't need to persuade me," Yan Jun replied calmly.

Wu Xiaona bit her lower lip hard and smashed the water glass on the table.

"I disagree, Yan Jun. I'm telling you, I absolutely will not agree. I can't abandon Xiao Dong to you."

Xia Qiuran then noticed that Xiao Dong on the bed had also moved slightly. His little hands were tightly gripping his sleeves, his eyes were still closed, but a tear rolled down his cheek and into the pillow.

"Then you can have it all. I don't want anything. Anyway, I'm determined to get a divorce," Yan Jun insisted.

"Yan Jun, stop talking nonsense. I'll go get Uncle Yan and Aunt Yan later. Calm down first." Lu Zhenghan patted Yan Jun on the shoulder and then turned to Wu Xiaona to persuade her.

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Yan Jun was just confused for a moment. I will definitely talk to him properly later."

"Yan Jun, I think you're having an affair. You did this on purpose." Wu Xiaona plopped down in a chair and burst into tears.

Yan Jun glanced at Wu Xiaona, his eyes full of annoyance, and he was too lazy to even explain.

"I think divorce is a good thing. It's better to set each other free than to torture each other."

Xia Qiuran was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
