Ye Jian didn’t have the urge to know who was the man who had left irresponsibly without any news. She only knew that her father and mother were happy after they got married.
As written in her mother’s diary, the two poor people lived like friends, working together during the day. Although they had different beds at night, they could chat all night.
She also knew that her father actually liked another girl in the village, but because of physical reasons, he could only watch the girl marry another man and then became a mother.
“When I received the news of Xinfan’s death in another country, what I thought of was looking for my mother-in-law. It was her; she had forced Xinfan to die in another country. It was her favoritism that caused Xinfan to leave when he’s sick…. A life pays a life, but I had to return to the army before I had time to make a move.”
……
“I have to face a mission that I know I will sacrifice. I have no choice because I am a soldier. I obey orders and accept the arrangement. I have no second choice.”
“I am not afraid of sacrifice, but I am afraid that my little girl will be left alone. I made a very bold choice. When the assembly expressed its determination, I stood up and told the Prime Minister out loud that if I sacrificed, the army must take care of my daughter. Only with this condition, even if my daughter loses me, she will be well taken care of.”
“I also told my comrades, I asked them to take care of my daughter. I don’t need good clothes for my daughter; I just want her to live a stable life. I don’t mind if she doesn’t know about her unfulfilled mother. I just wish for her to grow up peacefully, never know those dirty and ugly things, just grow up happily.”
Upon seeing this, Ye Jian smiled with tears in her eyes. This was her mother, a female soldier who was not afraid of sacrifice, and a great mother who left the best for her.
A stable life for her…Her mother wanted to change her life for the last time, but Ye Jian had failed herself in her past life, which made her deeply disappointed.
She would never fail again in this life!
Ye Jian, who had never seen the objects Martyr Sun Xueqing had used, looked at the two diaries, and read them over again. The fire in the stove went out and ignited again, the water in the copper kettle was cold, and then it was boiled again. Finally, Ye Jian was already so familiar with the diaries that she could memorize them without fail.
Putting the diary back in her leather bag, Ye Jian picked up another yellowed paper chapter. The edge of the paper chapter was flipped through too much. The frosted handbook was a manual for the army’s rules and regulations.
Ye Jian opened the manual, looked at some of the rules and regulations that had remained so far as if she saw her mother holding the manual and reading it carefully.
The manual was a little thinner than the current manual. Ye Jian finished reading it in less than an hour. Without closing the manual, she stared at the underlined words; her calm gaze slowly became sharp, like the cold light on the tip of a sword.
Smuggling, drug trafficking…violating discipline…, these words were all underlined.
Her mother died because of it!
Now, the people who killed her had not been caught and even climbed higher in their hierarchy. In order to cover up their crimes, they even wiped out her mother’s existence,…Mother, you will not sacrifice in vain; your daughter will find out the ones who harmed you!
Your unfinished business, your daughter, will do it for you!
Ye Jian, who repacked everything back into her leather bag, sat in the kitchen to rest for a few hours, then left Shuikou Village at five in the morning.
When she walked to the entrance of the village, she looked back at the quiet mountain village. After she retracted her gaze, Ye Jian strode away, not looking back.
The wind was surging ahead, and she was sitting watching it!
