Chapter 48: Whose Rank Is Higher?

Li Xinyue naturally understood.

She sighed lightly: “Sigh! Women, it’s okay to have an empty head, but the key is not to let water get into it!”

Sanhu: “…”

Is Sanjie saying that Zhang Caiyun is lying?

“Sanjie, be careful, her father is the captain!”

The captain is a big official!

Li Xinyue twitched her lips and said: “So what if he’s the captain? Your third brother is a battalion commander!”

“Sanhu, do you know what a battalion commander is?”

Sanhu shook his head honestly: “I don’t know. Sanjie, how big of an official is a battalion commander?”

Li Xinyue rolled her eyes: “I don’t know either, just ask your third brother, he’ll know!”

“But I can tell you for sure, his rank is higher than the captain!”

Sanhu: “…”

Sanjie, you’re speaking so loudly, I thought you knew! You don’t know either!

“Third brother, how big of an official is a battalion commander?”

This question made Chen Mingchuan’s face burn!

He lectured: “What rank, what rank? We’re all soldiers of the people, serving the people!”

Sanhu scratched his head: “…”

Is it Third Brother’s rank that’s higher, or the captain’s?

“Third brother, are you going to be a regiment commander soon? I know a regiment commander is a very big official, they said so in the movies.”

Regiment commander?

Chen Mingchuan’s face turned black!

“Regiment commander? You think it’s like being a production team leader? Is it that easy?”

“Sanhu, there are regulations for officers in the army to get promoted, and these regulations are very strict.”

“Soldiers wanting to become officers, it’s not something you can just decide to be.”

“Those who graduate from military academies, when they leave school, they are only probationary platoon leaders.”

“Fail the probation? You’re dismissed.”

“Three years as a platoon leader, three years as a deputy company commander, three years as a company commander.”

“Then you have to look at your ability and performance, and you have to be excellent in all aspects to be promoted to deputy battalion level, that’s a big hurdle.”

“If you’re not excellent, or your abilities aren’t strong, you’ll be transferred, only the excellent ones can continue to rise.”

“From company commander to deputy battalion commander, then promoted to battalion commander, each position basically requires three years of training, and again, only the excellent ones can rise.”

“To become a regiment commander, you have to break through these five hurdles first.”

“You’ve read books, calculate for yourself, how can you become a regiment commander!”

My goodness!

It’s so difficult?

Sanhu was dumbfounded: To become a regiment commander, without ten years of experience as an officer, without excellent abilities, it’s simply impossible, right?

Oh, so Third Brother’s battalion commander is definitely much higher than a captain!

Good, good, Third Brother’s rank is higher than the captain, then there’s nothing to be afraid of.

Sanhu felt relieved, Li Xinyue also blinked in amazement: Chen Mingchuan has only been in the army for thirteen years, and his education level is not high either.

At such a young age, he managed to rise to the position of battalion commander, it’s not simple!

Wow!

Such an excellent man, the author actually made him the second male lead?

That’s a bit too much!

After hearing this, Li Xinyue had more respect for Chen Mingchuan: Excellent people deserve respect.

At this time, Ye Juan had already run to the Zhang family.

“Auntie, that Li Benlu was wearing a peach-red dress today, it must have been her who pushed Caiyun!”

“Caiyun, don’t let her get away with it! She’s trying to murder you!”

“You have to sue her, make her spend the rest of her life in prison!”

Zhang Caiyun had a crow on her face: “…”

Sue her for what!

Zhang Caiyun knew that this matter absolutely couldn’t be blown up, if it was really investigated, there would be no way to cover it up!

Once the police enter the village, they will definitely investigate until the truth is revealed.

“Ye Juan, I didn’t see clearly, I can’t testify based on a peach-red dress.”

“Falsely reporting a case will lead to detention!”

“Reporting a case requires evidence, you need to find witnesses.”

Huh?

Ye Juan deflated.

She thought she had found a chance for revenge.

These past few days, she and her husband had suffered greatly in the main force, and upon hearing this news, she rushed over without even catching her breath.

“Didn’t anyone see anything?”

Zhang Caiyun shook her head faintly: “People who do bad things are always careful, how could they be seen?”

“However, there are no secrets in the world, bad people will be found out eventually.”

Eventually, when will that be?

As long as this bad person isn’t Li Xinyue, what does it matter to her?

Ye Juan twitched her lips: “Caiyun, I know you like Brother San, are you just going to give up like this?”

What’s the point of not giving up?

Zhang Caiyun asked with low spirits: “She’s about to go with the army, what can I do?”

“Once they go to the provincial city, they won’t come back for years, will I still have hope?”

“Yeah, why doesn’t she just die?”

Ye Juan’s face was full of hatred: “If she died, wouldn’t you have hope?”

“Damn bitch, she really is a long-lived wretch!”

Yeah, why doesn’t this Li woman just die?

Zhang Caiyun also hated her!

All these years, she had instructed Aunt Chen to torment her countless times, but this stupid Li Benlu just wouldn’t die!

Can’t die?

The anger on Zhang Caiyun’s face grew: Li Benlu, are you really immortal?

I don’t believe you’re an indestructible cockroach!

Li Xinyue, who was thinking of a way to help her uncle’s family get rich, had no idea that so many people were wishing for her death!

“Tomorrow I want to go to the mountain to dig some herbs, I promised Zhang Li’s mother to help her wash her hair white.”

Go to the mountain?

Chen Mingchuan’s eyes flickered: “Rest for another two days, your body hasn’t fully recovered, this illness is prone to relapse.”

“When you’re better, I’ll go with you.”

But Li Xinyue didn’t want to sleep anymore, she would become a couch potato if she kept sleeping.

“Actually, it’s okay, these herbs should be on the front mountain, I’ll go look for them myself.”

“Before, I went up the mountain to chop wood by myself countless times, what am I afraid of?”

Chen Mingchuan didn’t say much, anyway, he had nothing to do these days, and the matter of joining the army had to wait for the superior’s approval.

The aunt’s cooking was great, the fish stew was delicious, everyone ate with gusto.

Sanhu was especially happy.

“Brothet San, tomorrow I’m going to the back mountain with someone to blast fish! I’ll make fish for you again.”

Upon hearing that they were going to blast fish, Chen Mingchuan immediately asked: “Sanhu, where did you get the blasting caps and explosives?”

Sanhu immediately explained: “It was last winter when Chen Qiming went to repair the canal, he secretly brought some back, quite a bit.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mingchuan frowned and dissuaded him: “Don’t go.”

“The danger of using explosives is too great, if used improperly, it can be fatal.”

“We can go to the river to catch fish if we want to eat fish, don’t risk so much for a few fish.”

“Didn’t Uncle often catch fish before? Let’s go try again together tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, San Hu was a bit embarrassed: “But we agreed, besides, it’s hard to catch fish in the river…”

But Chen Mingchuan’s safety consciousness was not comparable to ordinary people, it was ingrained in his bones.

Not allowing Sanhu to argue, he sternly interrupted him.

“Even if you agreed, you can’t go! Don’t do dangerous things!”

“If something happens, Uncle and Aunt will only have tears to cry!”

“If you want to eat fish, I’ll go with you to catch some.”
