Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2447: Chapter 2383: The Reason for Leaving the Team

After speaking, he ran to the lakeside and quickly dug out a bottle of wine from the shallow lake beach.

"Plum Wine! How about it? It’s homemade by the master who built my boat. He gave me two bottles, and there’s just this bottle left. Although it’s not very strong, it’s delicious. You two ladies can have a glass as well."

"Honey, I’m injured. Can I drink alcohol?"

The Great Officer Meng seized the chance to present himself well once more.

Zhu Shun burst out laughing.

"You can, Meng Xinian! Listening to the wife for everything now?"

"Of course." Meng Xinian replied calmly, "Whatever the wife says is right. Following her advice is never wrong."

Chiang Xiao glared at him speechlessly.

Enough already.

Is it necessary to act like this in front of others?

Aren’t you afraid of really spreading the reputation of being a henpecked husband?

It’s not like she’s that controlling.

Don’t let others think she’s a tigress.

Meng Xinian winked at her, then took the chance when no one was watching to lean close to her ear and asked: "Little, if I present myself well, can we have our honeymoon early?"

Chiang Xiao: "..."

Can she just say "Get lost"?

Tyrant Meng really thinks this counts as presenting well?

And it’s for that kind of pleasure!

Truly shameless!

With Zhu Shun’s involvement, the atmosphere that day was always good and lively.

Zhu Shun has traveled far and wide these years, saw a lot and shared many amusing stories with them, making them laugh uncontrollably.

Originally intending for him to return to the city with them, Zhu Shun refused.

He said he hadn’t had enough time in this place and would come back to the city to meet them if he truly had enough.

Since he insisted, Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian had no choice but to leave him the remaining food.

The four returned to the city already at night. Although they ate a lot in the afternoon and weren’t hungry, since they had barbecue, they still went to a small eatery and ordered a bowl of noodle soup each.

Meng Xinian also brought up the reason for Zhu Shun leaving the special forces.

"Back then, Zhu Shun’s family arranged a marriage for him while he was away, and his parents married him off without him returning. Zhu Shun was tricked into coming back home by his father’s claims of being ill and hadn’t returned home for five years, always staying at the special forces unit."

"After returning, he found out that he had a wife. Zhu Shun was furious, but his parents cried, pleaded, and begged him, even locking him and the woman in a room, saying they wouldn’t let them out unless they consummated the marriage."

As Meng Xinian spoke about this, there was no particular expression on his face. Chiang Xiao felt quite sentimental, while Wang Yi seemed a bit embarrassed.

But none of them interrupted Meng Xinian and listened to him continue.

"Zhu Shun ended up consummating the marriage with the woman. He stayed home for ten days but couldn’t bear it any longer. Even ten days leave was rather forced. As he was leaving, his wife asked him when he’d consider retiring from the force and transitioning careers, saying his parents were getting old, and if she had kids in the future, she wouldn’t be able to help much with the farm work."

At that time, Zhu Shun felt forced to be with her, and even though they’d been a couple for ten days, seeing her starting to be so controlling already, asking him to farm, he got angry and said that if farming wasn’t possible, then go do business, find things to sell. Since she married him willingly, don’t use kids as excuses, she needs to help take care of the home, and look after the elders while he’s away."
