Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458: Chapter 484 Ai Mei Takes Charge

Liu Gang was so angry he could spit blood, but being caught red-handed, what could he do? He just said he was misled by rumors, believing a comrade had made a mistake, and wanted to help him correct it.

Such lies might just fool himself. Outwardly, he might pass; the men in the compound all sniffed disdainfully. They used to have a good impression of Liu Gang, but who would have thought he could do something like this behind people’s backs? Truly, you can’t judge a book by its cover! Now even fewer people associate with him.

Gu Junming wasn’t angry when he found out. He just smiled and said, "It’s nothing, Liu Gang also hopes I can improve. Everyone, please don’t say more, he didn’t do it on purpose." This only made Liu Gang seem worse.

And this was the effect Gu Junming wanted. If he went to report it loudly, Liu Gang wouldn’t benefit, but he would also be affected. Now it’s different; Gu Junming didn’t make a big fuss or complain to the leaders. This guy’s reputation is thoroughly ruined.

Because of this incident, Liu Gang became the target of everyone’s criticism; people were displeased with him. His wife was hinted by Gu Junming and made a fuss again, going to the leader to say Liu Gang wanted a divorce and was going to send her back to the countryside.

The leader was very unhappy: "Liu Gang, what’s going on with you lately? First, there’s talk of you beating your wife, then reporting Gu Junming, and now you want a divorce? Do you think you’re somebody now, and no one can manage you?"

"I didn’t..."

"Didn’t what? Explain this report letter!" He slammed the letter on the table.

Gu Junming had clarified the cause and effect beforehand, and the leader had almost finished investigating. Naturally, he had no respect for Liu Gang’s actions.

Liu Gang could only claim he was misled by rumors and got scolded again.

"You’re a soldier; how can you be so credulous? With such a thing happening, you should first investigate the truth, not spread rumors with those people! You’re not a new recruit! How can you act like this?"

Liu Gang’s plan failed; he was understandably resentful but could only bow his head and admit his mistakes now. What else could he do?

Seeing those people from the compound along the way, their eyes were strange, keeping a clear distance from him.

They probably know about this matter? Liu Gang clenched his fist, feeling like he aimed at a weasel and got sprayed with its stink!

Gu Junming, you’re vicious! How dare you treat me like this! Just you wait!

He stormed back home and saw his wife sitting on the sofa, fueling his anger: "Aren’t you going back to the village? Why are you still here?"

"If I’m not here, then where should I be? The leader said earlier not to go back for the time being, unless you want to keep getting scolded?" She said proudly.

Liu Gang dared not speak out, but having just made a mistake, if the leader found out, it wouldn’t end well. He could only let her relax, and finally, made her husband soften once, which felt great. Ai Mei was in a good mood.

"Alright, since you have nothing else to say, I’ll just stay here then." She walked smugly into the inner room.

Liu Gang said, "Where do you think you’re going? It’s late; aren’t you going to cook?"

"Cook? Ha! Your reputation has fallen so low, and you have the nerve to ask me to cook? You can starve; I don’t care! Make it yourself and eat!"

"What did you say, you damn woman!"

"From now on, it’s everyone living for themselves. If you dare bully me, I’ll tell the leader. I’m not afraid of you! If you have the guts, divorce me, and I’ll expose how you used to beat and bully me! Send you back to farm! If I don’t have a good life, you shouldn’t either!" She finished and devoured her food, feeling great!

Liu Gang was so mad he couldn’t catch his breath and almost fainted. He clenched his fist, suppressing his anger, and lowered his head to shovel down food.

Gradually, Ai Mei subdued Liu Gang. All his weaknesses lay in Ai Mei’s hands, making him reluctant to act arrogantly.

Liu Gang knew now isn’t the time to act out; he at least has to wait for things to calm down. So, it’s rare for him to appease her humbly, and somehow they continued this way.

Two or three months passed like this. People in the neighborhood saw them buying rice together, talking sweetly, and were quite surprised.

Sun Chan said to Gu Junming one evening, "It’s like the saying goes, ’birds of a feather flock together.’"

"Exactly," Gu Junming replied. "Since they’ve been together for so many years, they can’t separate easily."

"You’re right." Sun Chan put down her chopsticks and smiled, "Oh, by the way, how to go to the two weddings on New Year’s Day?"

Turns out Qian Xiaoshuang and Yan Kai’s wedding was set for New Year’s Day, and coincidentally, Wang Hu and Xiao Hong’s wedding also takes place on New Year’s Day.

When both parties sent invitations, they were a bit dumbfounded.

Gu Junming took a big bite of food and laughed, "Isn’t it easy? A group wedding will do, won’t it?"
