Chapter 2 — Divorcing the Cold Battalion Commander

“Okay, let's say it's like you said, I had an affair.”

“Then let me ask you.”

I turned to Lam Mieu.

“I was having an affair, why did I choose the old warehouse?”

"The military dormitory is crowded with people, next to the warehouse is a well, all morning the aunts gather there to wash vegetables."

“Am I crazy?”

Lam Mieu pursed her lips and did not answer. I continued:

“Today Luc Xuyen returned to the unit, everyone in this dormitory knows it.”

"I'm having an affair and still know how to choose the right day when my husband comes home?"

“And also, since I went out of my way to have an affair, why didn't I lock the door?”

The facial expressions of several people outside the door began to change.

"What? Did I intentionally open the door to wait for you to catch me in the act?"

Lam Mieu's eyes were a bit panicked.

“When I walked in, the door was only slightly closed.”

I didn't pay any attention to her, turned straight to the door and asked:

“Who kicked the door just now?”

A young soldier raised his hand.

“I pedal.”

"Comrade Lam here said the door is ajar, so let me ask this young soldier, is it necessary to kick the door ajar?"

He blushed.

“It's not ajar, there's a lock on the outside of the door.”

Someone outside couldn't help but burst out laughing. Lam Mieu's eyes turned redder.

“I was in such a hurry that I remembered wrongly.”

I snorted coldly and nodded.

"You misremembered the door, but you didn't misremember my affair."

“Your memory is really good at picking out the focus.”

Luc Xuyen suddenly let out a silent roar.

"Enough! To Van, haven't you lost enough face by causing trouble?"

I looked at his angry expression and coldly replied:

"It's still not enough. She accused me of having an affair. I haven't finished asking yet."

“There's more.”

I walked up to him, raised my head and looked at his cold face.

“Battalion Commander Luc, I hope you understand clearly, I am your wife.”

“You keep covering up for those who slander me like this, it's hard for me not to be suspicious…”

I glanced at Lam Mieu standing nearby, then ignored Luc Xuyen's unique expression. I walked up to Trieu Dai Cuong, raised my hand and pointed straight at his face.

"He!"

“The person you call my lover.”

“I thought, surely you know him?”

I stared at Lam Mieu. Her eyes wavered slightly for a second, bit her lip and said:

“I don't know.”

“Are you sure?”

"Sure!"

I nodded, then turned around.

"Very good! Then please ask comrade Lam Mieu."

“If that's the case, how could you immediately judge that I was having an affair the moment you walked through the door?”

“Why don't you say he's a bad guy?”

“How do you know I'm not a victim?”

3. Before she could answer, Trieu Dai Cuong suddenly raised his head.

“To Van, stop acting, you're clearly seducing me.”

“She told Battalion Commander Luc to be away from home all year round, she was very lonely being alone.”

“You also said, as long as I sleep with you, you will give me money.”

Luc Xuyen's face turned completely black, his voice was so cold it was suffocating.

“To Van, do you have anything else to say?”

I did not rush to refute, but looked at Trieu Dai Cuong and asked:

"Oh! I still give you money? How much money?"

Trieu Dai Cuong hesitated a bit.

“Ten coins.”

I laughed.

"But yesterday my family just finished buying rice, and the money in the cupboard is now only three coins and six dimes."

Trieu Dai Cuong immediately changed his tone:

“I told you to finish your work and then give it to me.”

I smiled and nodded.

“So when did I know you?”

“A few days ago.”

“Let's be specific.”

He started to get irritated.

“I don't remember clearly.”

I looked at him.

“In your memory, did you study with the same master as Lam Mieu?”

Someone outside couldn't help but giggle. Luc Xuyen turned his head and glared. Lam Mieu suddenly spoke:

“Sister-in-law, are you insulting the victim now?”

I turned to look at her.

“Victim?”
