Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1736: Chapter 1143:

She is a woman who’s afraid of trouble, change, and danger; she wants a life that is stable and calm. But me, as a soldier, it’s hard to meet her demands.

Even if we really got together, really got married, conflicts in the future would be inevitable. Back then there were a few other soldiers who, just like me, once their families found out and learned they had missions, the women broke off the engagements.

So Commander Zhao, we all know about you and Instructor Zhou, and we all envy it. Maybe you think this chance is quite high, but for us, the odds are practically zero.

In our battalion, whether it was those who had relationships or those that ended during or after their service, they eventually all went back to being single. Unlike you, with wives and children to think about, really too fortunate."

To persuade himself, he gave it his all, not only talking about his past but also comparing with others. Zhao Qiliang looked at Zhang Ping with gratitude, truly at a loss for words.

"No worries, I’ve been holding it in for too long. I wanted to find someone to talk about this stuff with. After all, these kinds of things can only be truly discussed with someone who’s been through the same thing. By the way, how did you and your wife meet, Commander Zhao?"

"We’ve known each other since we were kids."

Zhang Ping was pleasantly surprised: "That’s really a coincidence."

"But I’m older than her, unlike you guys..." After a pause, seeing Zhang Ping hadn’t responded, Zhao Qiliang continued, "My wife is good friends with my cousin, they often came to my house to play when they were kids.

Honestly, I always thought of her as a child, never considered anything else. Even when she grew up into a young woman, I didn’t think about it, after all, I’m several years older than her.

It was only when I received her letter, she straightforwardly told me she liked me, didn’t want someone else to get ahead, so she let me know first, wanting to stake her claim, not allowing me to be with other women.

Such domineering words, yet they moved me. On that home leave, we got engaged, and shortly after, she also went to City A and became a soldier.

Later, she advanced more smoothly than I did. There was a time I lacked self-confidence, especially after my sister got married. I thought, if my sister could find such a capable brother-in-law, perhaps my wife might have other thoughts as well.

Because of this lack of confidence, we had a particularly rough patch, luckily my wife is a generous woman. She eventually forgave me and even proposed marriage when she found out I was going on a mission.

With her qualifications, if she wasn’t with me, she could definitely find someone better, but she didn’t. This life, I really owe her too much. No matter what happens, I’ll never do anything to betray her."

"If I’d known the depth of your relationship, I wouldn’t have said so much..." Zhang Ping rubbed his forehead, "I might as well be asking for a beating; our relationships aren’t the same at all!"

"I’m passive by nature."

"I’m not exactly proactive either..." After a pause, Zhang Ping said, "Truth is, with Loo Caixia, it was also her who took the initiative. You could say we’re similar, except your wife’s personality is different from Loo Caixia’s, which is why our outcomes are completely different.

To put it another way, your wife is the kind of woman who can share both hardships and riches, while Loo Caixia is someone who can only share in wealth but not in adversity.

Initially, when she took the initiative, it wasn’t because she liked me, but she thought our circumstances were similar, wanting to find someone to hold on to. When her conditions improved, if I stayed the same, she would have left me immediately.

But before she could act, my uncle helped me, so..." Zhang Ping shrugged, "There’s really nothing regrettable about our situation. If it didn’t fall apart this time, it would have sooner or later."

"I agree with that." Zhao Qiliang nodded, "Her leaving you is her loss. One day, she’ll regret the decision she made. A woman so focused on gain, the man who marries her might not have genuine intentions."

Hesitating for a moment, Zhang Ping looked at Zhao Qiliang and asked: "What if I say, don’t talk about her like that, I hope she’s happy, what would you think?"

"That’s normal. We come from different starting points. You remember the past sentiments, while I am simply expressing my thoughts because of you. So even if you say that, I wouldn’t think you’re insincere."

Sighing, Zhang Ping gave a bitter smile: "Then I’ll tell you my true thoughts, I don’t want to bless her, nor will I curse her. I just want her to live her life, and I’ll live mine, that’s all."

"Men tend to be more generous about this, generally speaking, women..." Zhao Qiliang shook his head, looking at the approaching woman, "To be specific, some women can be particularly annoying about these things, like this person approaching now."

When nearby, Ye Meiru looked at the two curiously: "Something big happened, and you two have to stand guard here?"

"You should know, right?" Zhao Qiliang looked at her calmly, yet his words were far from polite, "You wouldn’t be unaware of who’s coming today, is playing dumb amusing?"

"Oh..." Ye Meiru snapped her fingers on her forehead, "I actually forgot about that. Okay, okay, I won’t disturb you then. Later, please tell Division Commander Zhou that I came looking for him. When he’s free, he should let me know, I really need to discuss something important with him." (To be continued.
