Chapter 16

Shen Tianci, having been in cahoots with Liu Chunhua several times, understood with a single glance.

Letting Shen Youran and the others eat this meal, they would have to pay back a lot of money later.

This meal was expensive.

Shen Youran naturally knew why Shen Tianci suddenly stopped talking. She didn’t care about that.

If there was food, she would eat it.

As for this black-hearted family, she wouldn’t care too much about their plans to scheme against her. Since she dared to eat this meal, she wasn’t afraid of them coming to make a scene.

Perhaps because of their hidden motives, the meal was quite pleasant. Shen Youran and Junjun ate their fill.

Although Liu Chunhua kept chattering non-stop, her cooking skills were decent. After eating their fill, Shen Youran took Junjun’s hand and left.

As soon as they left, Shen Tianci spoke, “Mom, is she not going to divorce?”

Liu Chunhua leisurely ate the food in her bowl, not even lifting her eyelids, “Of course. I already told her that if she divorces, she can’t come back to live at her parents’ house. She has no way out. Would she dare to divorce? Would she go sleep on the streets if she did?”

“She has to stay here for now. Every month when she gets her salary, we’ll go and ask for it. She ate this meal today, so we’ll ask for more money later, as compensation!” Liu Chunhua was increasingly satisfied, “When they really can’t make ends meet, and we’ve gotten enough money, she’ll divorce, and we’ll find her a new husband. Then, we’ll use her to get a dowry.”

“Good!” Shen Tianci was extremely excited after hearing this. Since Mom had arranged everything, he just had to wait.

Shen Youran didn’t care about their plans.

She took Junjun back to the family compound. At this time, Lu Yifan was still at the army and hadn’t returned, so she successfully entered the house with her key.

She had no feelings for this house. She put her things in the corner, sat down, and hugged Junjun for a long time before making a decision.

If she wanted to stay in the family compound after the divorce, she only had one choice: become a female soldier!

Thinking about this, she found some food at home and took the piece of pork Liu Chunhua bought yesterday from the kitchen in her space. It was about a pound. She took these things to a military wife’s house.

When she reached her doorstep, Shen Youran knocked on the door.

This military wife had interacted with her a lot. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Shen Youran and smiled, “It’s Youran! Come in quickly. Where have you been these past few days?”

Shen Youran smiled, “I came to see Sister Yun today. I have something to ask you.”

Mo Xiaoyun didn’t mind and smiled, inviting her and Junjun inside, “Let’s talk inside.”

Shen Youran took Junjun into Mo Xiaoyun’s house. The reason she came here was because Mo Xiaoyun’s husband was in charge of recruiting soldiers for the army.

After they entered, Mo Xiaoyun poured them some water and then asked with a smile, “What do you need Sister Yun’s help with? Just ask.”

Mo Xiaoyun had a good impression of the original owner. Although she sometimes felt that Lu Yifan’s marriage wasn’t very stable, the original owner was always diligent and a very good woman.

She was very hardworking, and she didn’t talk much. She was much better than the other military wives in the family compound.

After getting to know her, although they didn’t become close friends, they could still chat.

Shen Youran placed the gifts on the table and smiled awkwardly, “I came to see Sister Yun today, actually, I want to ask your husband for a favor. I want to join the army as a female soldier. I hope he can approve my application.”

Shen Youran stated her purpose. Junjun sat quietly beside her, tightly holding his mother’s hand, being very obedient.

The reason she came to pull strings was to speed up the process.

Although she could apply herself, it would take months for everything to be reviewed. She couldn’t wait that long.

What?

Mo Xiaoyun thought she had heard wrong, “You said you want to join the army as a female soldier?”

Shen Youran nodded. Mo Xiaoyun was completely dumbfounded. After the shock, she asked, “Do you know that being a female soldier in the army is very hard? Although you don’t have to go on missions, you have training every day. Most people can’t even handle it.”

“Besides that, there are also some missions to do, although they’re not very dangerous, they’re still very hard.” Mo Xiaoyun didn’t know much about other things, but she knew this, because she sometimes heard her husband talk about it.

Shen Youran nodded, one hand on her knee, the other hand holding Junjun’s. She didn’t tell Mo Xiaoyun about her difficulties, she just smiled, “Actually, I’ve always had this idea, but I wanted to take care of the child before, so I didn’t think much about it. Now that he’s grown up, I want to try it, to fulfill my dream.”

Shen Youran had thought about it all night. She didn’t have any special skills, at most she had a space, but she couldn’t expose it.

The best way to stay in the compound was to become a female soldier.

Actually, she had also thought about joining the army in her previous life, but for various reasons, she didn’t. In this life, being able to realize this dream was actually pretty good.

Moreover, she had also practiced taekwondo and some basic martial arts in her previous life. She thought it shouldn’t be a problem.

“Then I’ll tell my husband tonight. They have an assessment every month, as long as you pass the assessment, you can successfully join the army as a female soldier.” Mo Xiaoyun looked at Shen Youran, she was quite happy, she felt like she hadn’t misjudged her.

Shen Youran’s resilience was truly ingrained in her bones.

“Okay!”

After receiving the reply, Shen Youran was quite happy, “Then you can keep this little gift, Sister Yun. I’ll take Junjun back first. If the assessment time comes, please let me know.”

“Okay!”

Shen Youran took Junjun’s hand and went back, then she started to think in her mind, she should drink more spirit spring water in the next few days, and ideally, she could exercise regularly.

She had learned martial arts and taekwondo in her previous life. With the spirit spring water to enhance her physique, and then gradually exercise, restore her previous physical fitness, she should be able to pass the new recruit assessment next time.

Drinking the spirit spring water during this period should also be able to repair the original owner’s waist.

After all, the book mentioned that drinking the spirit spring water for a long time can improve some of the original body’s ailments.

As long as she could pass the new recruit assessment and successfully become a female soldier, then everything would be fine.

What was Lu Yifan?

“Mom.”

While Shen Youran was still thinking, Junjun suddenly spoke, “If being a female soldier is so hard, then can we not go?”

“Mom and I can live outside the compound, we’ll find another place to live. I’ll be very obedient, Mom, you can do whatever you want, I’ll stay at home obediently, I won’t make you worry…”

Junjun kept talking, Shen Youran listened and felt a strange pang of heartache.

Junjun was young, but the words he said were very coherent, and such a small child was so sensible, Shen Youran felt choked up.

His voice became quieter and quieter. Shen Youran reached out and held his hand, “Junjun, Mom wants to stay here, Mom wants to be a female soldier, because Mom had this idea before.”

“Our Junjun shouldn’t have too much burden, okay?”

“Okay!”

Shen Youran saw Junjun nod obediently. Seeing that it was still early, she took him to the space to play.

“Mom, the seeds have sprouted!”

Junjun ran around in the yard for a while, saw the sprouted seeds in the field, and excitedly ran towards Shen Youran.

Shen Youran heard that the seeds had sprouted and immediately went to take a look.

It seemed like the seeds were only planted last night, and they had sprouted today. At this rate, they should be able to harvest the first batch of vegetables in four or five days at most.

This was the same as what was written in the book.
