Chapter 471: Chapter 325 The Request_2
You know what kind of temper he has, always single-minded. In his letters, he always looked forward to finishing his military service and coming ho to marry . If I wanted a man with no ambition, why would I have pushed him to join the army?
So, I grew colder toward him, not wanting to reply to his letters. As long as he was attached to , my mother couldn’t make other plans, but who would have thought that I’d actually beco a soldier myself.
You can never imagine how excited I was when I received the enlistnt notice, not having to marry a man I didn’t love, not being forced to be a cash cow, being able to work hard for the life I wanted. It was a dream co true, and it ca so easily!
What I didn’t expect was that not long after I arrived in the army, I t a man we both liked. He admired my resilience and looks; I liked his personality and the way he conducted himself.
After my relationship with him went public, the female soldiers in the regint talked about behind my back, calling shaless. Outwardly, I acted as if I didn’t care, but inside, it hurt like hell.
I’m not with him because he’s a platoon leader, nor did I deliberately seduce him to be with him. We trained on the sa field; he was the one who noticed and approached first.
We decided to be together only after getting to know each other slowly. He’s not young anymore, in a hurry to get married. Although I’m not completely confident, I’m afraid of missing out on this chance, never finding such a suitable man again. Plus, as long as I marry him, even if I can’t stay in the army, my mother won’t be able to make plans for once I’m discharged.
We already got our marriage certificate last month, and the wedding is set for next Tuesday. But a few days ago, he suddenly told he had to leave for a mission, with an uncertain return, with life and death uncertain, and he wanted to cancel our engagent. He said he could ask the leadership for help, to leave no record of my marriage in the files, so it won’t affect my future marriage prospects.
But, it was so hard to find soone I liked, and I had already written to my family about the wedding. Knowing my mother’s mouth, surely the news has spread across ten miles, and everyone knows.
If the wedding is suddenly canceled, how can I face returning ho? And what about the female soldiers in the regint, how will they mock ? This is essentially driving to a dead end.
Chuxia, from my mother’s letter to , I guess you must have married Regintal Commander Zhou. Please, could you discuss with Commander Zhou, see if it’s possible for Liu Lianbao to finish the wedding before he leaves?
I’m not trying to hold him back; I just ask that he complete the wedding ceremony with before he leaves. After all, the regint was going to keep so people here anyway, right?
After my mother, my father, and the relatives from ho have attended the wedding, he can leave whenever he wants, and I can guarantee no matter how he changes in the future, I’ll follow him.
Chuxia, I wouldn’t be asking this if I weren’t so desperate. I know you must think I’m being vain, but I have no choice, that’s just the way I am. If the wedding really gets canceled, I can’t go back ho, and I’d have no face to stay in the army. I would truly be on a path of no return.”
Zhong Hongying explained everything from the beginning to the end. Chuxia had finished her breakfast, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and let out a light sigh, “People like you bring it all upon themselves.
Of course, I can’t say I believe everything you’ve told , nor can I say I disbelieve it. I had heard about your affair with Commander Liu before, and the versions I heard were indeed different from what you’ve said.
But one thing I can tell you for sure, I can’t help with this. Yes, I’m married to Zhou Mikang, but I cannot interfere with his official duties just because I am his wife.
Moreover, he is also assigned to this mission. Compared to , what makes you think you couldn’t live on? You know, when we got married, it was when the Zhou family was going through tough tis.
I guess you’ve learned how I am being talked about at ho through your mother’s letters. Originally, I had planned to ask Zhou Mikang to visit my hotown with to put an end to these rumors.
But now, the day he can return ho with seems so far away. So, you can imagine what people will say about my family while he’s away.
Moreover, my parents are stubborn and refuse to owe my husband’s family any favors when I can’t afford to keep them here. You’re right; my parents do see as their darling, never intending to gain from .
But you can imagine the pressure they’ll face once they go back. Even so, I haven’t asked for Zhou Mikang to go back ho with first. Zhong Hongying, do you really think your request will be granted?”
“Chuxia, I’ve said it, I don’t have your broad-mindedness. Please, help , or I really will end up on a dead-end road,” Zhong Hongying’s face was dejected, “When I ca here, I was ready, if you can’t help , I might as well resort to threatening with death, or maybe, death might actually be possible.”
“Back in the village, I thought you were strong, but now it seems I was wrong.” Chuxia stood up, “Zhong Hongying, if you don’t cherish your own life, nobody else can cherish it for you. I can’t help you; it’s ti for to go to work.”
Zhong Hongying looked up pitifully with tear-stained cheeks, “I just want to marry him; I’m not asking for anything else, just delaying him for a dozen days, can’t you really talk to him for ?” (To be continued.
