“Oh, cousin doesn’t know yet, so I will tell you now. I will not be going to the spring conscription!” Su Mian did not believe that she did not know. The matter of her applying for the Second Military Medical University had long been spread throughout the village. “Also, I have never been jealous of a deserter like you, faking your mother’s illness in order to escape going to the battlefield. I would feel ashamed!”
When Su Mian had revealed the truth about why she had taken leave to return home, Su Hong’s face paled. Her anger that she had originally been suppressing surged up and she no longer cared about her image of being a good girl, “Who is a deserter? Su Mian, don’t slander other people. It is illegal to slander a soldier!”
Su Hong was shocked. How did Su Mian know the truth about her coming home? She had not even told Bai Yu Lan the truth.
Bai Yu Lan raised her head and looked at Su Hong suspiciously, appearing to have only just found this out. No wonder when she had repeatedly urged Su Hong to return to her army, Su Hong had kept saying that her army was on holiday.
Knowing that Bai Yu Lan was suspicious, Su Hong quickly assured Bai Yu Lan in a low voice, “Mother, don’t listen to Su Mian’s nonsense. She is not in the army, so what does she know? She is just jealous of me being a soldier.”
Su Mian sneered coldly. Su Hong really would not give up until she was consigned to her grave. “I’m talking nonsense? I’m jealous of you? As a soldier, Su Hong’s duty is to obey orders. Don’t tell me you don’t even know this. Are you waiting to be punished by the army and for the army to tell Second Aunt, before you make an even more severe mistake?!” Su Mian really admired Su Hong, being able to blame others at this critical moment of truth.
“You…” Su Hong was extremely angry and pointed her finger at Su Mian; she could not speak for a long time. No matter what, she would not admit that she had lied about her mother’s illness today, otherwise the army would definitely expel her. “How have I disobeyed orders? This is just a normal vacation. At this time, even if there was a real war going on, it has nothing to do with me!”
Su Hong’s words were truly selfish!
She must not forget that she is a military healthcare worker, a medical staff member who treated and rescued the wounded, a logistical support for soldiers who charged forward and breached enemy lines!
She had actually said that it had nothing to do with her! Even ordinary people wanted to go to the battlefield and contribute!
How was she fit to be a soldier?
“Who said that on a vacation, war has nothing to do with her?” An authoritative and stern male voice sounded and the door curtain was lifted. Zhao Bo walked into the room, tall and straight.
All the women and children in the room fell silent instantly. The man had a powerful aura, although his eyes were narrowed with a smile behind his glasses.
Seeing him, Su Hong was so terrified that she almost toppled over and she stammered, “Senior officer… good day.” Su Hong’s head drooped. It was over for her now, Zhao Bo had heard everything she had just said!
Zhao Bo was a senior officer in their military region and was in charge of the medical team!
Seeing that it was Zhao Bo, Su Mian’s eyes brightened immediately and she said in a crisp voice, “Good day senior officer!”
Zhao Bo walked over to her kindly and patted her head, “Comrade Su Mian, today is a good day for your engagement. However, Wei Zhen Hui has important military duties to attend to. The encampment will move soon. He is at the door, you should go and have a few words with him.”
They really were going to war!
This was happening a few days earlier compared to her previous life.
Wei Zhen Hui had come to say goodbye to her!
Su Mian did not have time to think about anything else and ran out the door.
“Su Hong, you can’t go out today!”
“Su Mian, your feet can’t touch the ground!”
“Su Mian, come back!”
Grandma Su and Su Mian’s aunts were very anxious. If the engaged girl’s feet touched the ground, her marriage would not go smoothly in the future!
Su Mian pushed open the back door. Her raised feet had yet to step outside when she was wrapped in a military coat and someone bent over and pulled Su Mian on his back.
