Chapter 17

“Comrade Xiao Ji? Hello? Hello? Is the line bad?” Instructor Zheng asked, puzzled.

Ji Wanqing quickly responded: “No, I understand, Instructor Zheng. I’ll get my introduction letter ready and try to report to the military region within half a month!”

The call ended.

Ji Jian Guo’s face was full of dejection, he had nothing to say.

He consoled himself that his ultimate goal was to get rid of this disaster, but unfortunately, he couldn’t send her to the northwest to eat sand and do hard labor.

Ji Wanqing put down the receiver: “Director Liu, about this introduction letter…”

“I’ll write it!”

Besides the street committee, the Youth League Office also had the right to issue introduction letters.

Ji Wanqing smiled and reminded: “Thank you, Director Liu, but please make the time longer. If my fiancé has a temporary mission and delays, it wouldn’t be good.”

“…Of course, of course.” Director Liu wrote a three-month leave of absence for her, starting five days later, which was enough time for her to pack her bags.

Ji Wanqing took the introduction letter and left gracefully.

Director Liu patted Ji Jian Guo on the shoulder: “In the army, those who can go to the Military Academy for further studies are generally preparing for promotion. Your son-in-law has a bright future ahead of him.”

“…” Ji Jian Guo wanted to cry.

Looking at that heartless and resolute little white-eyed wolf, he wouldn’t be able to benefit from her in any way!

He wished he had been nicer to her back then.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have changed her personality so drastically and turned the family upside down, and finally left with a bunch of messes, running away to enjoy life with the army!

Leaving the Youth League Office, it was almost eleven o’clock. Ji Wanqing was too lazy to go back and cook, so she went to a state-owned restaurant for a good meal.

Cabbage dumplings with braised pork, two yuan and eighty cents plus two ration coupons and six meat coupons.

The taste was good because the ingredients were fresh and didn’t have any additives. As for whether it was better than her own cooking, it was debatable.

After cooking for over half a month, Ji Wanqing had been spoiled by her own culinary skills, which were enhanced with spiritual spring water.

After eating, she went to the state-owned department store to buy luggage.

She had plenty of food and drink in her space, but the clothes and necessities were from a time beyond this era, and she didn’t want to risk taking them out.

She bought a few clothes and a few dresses, all high-end goods from the Friendship Store that didn’t require coupons. They cost over fifty yuan each, equivalent to most people’s monthly salary, and Ji Wanqing didn’t blink as she spent over four hundred yuan.

These were classic styles she had chosen from a vast sea of clothes, elegant, lively, and with a touch of retro. Even by modern standards, they were beautiful.

After buying clothes, she bought two pairs of leather shoes, one for summer and one for winter.

Unfortunately, leather shoes required coupons, and Ji Wanqing only had enough coupons for two pairs. Otherwise, she would have bought a few more pairs for changing.

She bought some other necessities, like towels, face cream, thermos, enamel mugs, aluminum lunch boxes, and spent all her coupons in Yunhe City.

Most of the items were stored in her space. Ji Wanqing carried two suitcases back to Ji’s house, just in time to see them eating dinner.

Well.

They were very obedient.

They were eating sorghum and coarse grain steamed buns, and they hadn’t touched her rice and white flour.

To be honest, if Director Liu hadn’t personally come to mobilize her to go to the countryside, and if the time hadn’t been so urgent that she didn’t have time to find a temporary job, she would have been reluctant to leave such a sensible servant behind.

“Wanqing is back, have you eaten? Auntie didn’t dare to touch your things, but I boiled some hot water for you, and the stove is still on.” Su Xiu clearly knew that Ji Wanqing was about to go to the An Province Military Region to join the army, and her heart was pounding as she spoke.

How could this little bitch be so lucky?

She was about to go to the northwest to suffer, but who knew, she would be going to join the army in An Province!

Ji Wanqing didn’t miss the resentment in Su Xiu’s eyes, she smiled: “I’ve eaten, you guys eat.”

At the dinner table, Ji Xinbao buried his head in his food, and Ji Jian Guo hunched his shoulders, trying to lower his presence.

Only Ji Xiaorou, her eyes filled with hatred, couldn’t hide the emotions in her eyes.

When she met Ji Wanqing’s clear and bright eyes, the malice in them was even more intense, but she quickly lowered her head to hide it.

“Heh.”

A cold laugh, the four people present involuntarily shivered, burying their heads even lower, afraid of being beaten.

Ji Wanqing glanced at the Ji family and carried her suitcases back to her room.

They had tortured the original owner to death, and she wouldn’t let them off so easily. For now, she would let them relax their guard.

After she left Yunhe City, they would think they had finally escaped from her clutches, and then she would give them a big gift.

As the sound of the door closing echoed, Ji Xiaorou raised her head again to confirm: “Dad, when did Ji Wanqing get engaged? Is it true? Why didn’t she say anything at first, and brought it up when it’s time to go to the countryside? Isn’t she lying?”

Ji Jian Guo shook his head, feeling uncomfortable: “They even called the military region, it can’t be fake.”

Ji Xiaorou speculated maliciously: “I heard that battalion commanders are cadres, and to get promoted, they need real military merits. That person must be thirty or forty years old, could he be a second marriage?”

“It shouldn’t be.” Ji Jian Guo sighed, “Her grandfather only had one son and one daughter. His son disappeared a few years ago, and after Yu Jing died, he only had Ji Wanqing as his descendant.”

Talking about the past, he felt a bit sour: “You guys don’t know how much that old man doted on her! Before the revolution, that little girl, he hired a special person to take care of her, she ate and used fine things! Ji Wanqing said she didn’t want any more siblings, and they, father and daughter, really didn’t plan to have any more children!”

He was also implicated and had no descendants!

Fortunately, Yu Jing died, so he could marry Xiuxiu and have Xinbao, otherwise he would have no descendants! He would have been childless!

Su Xiu had met Yu Jing and Yu, the old man. She had envied their rich and luxurious life at that time.

But later, Yu, the old man, donated all his wealth, and her envy immediately disappeared, and she even felt a bit of schadenfreude.

Ji Xiaorou clenched her chopsticks and remained silent.

These days, the family had been discussing the marriage with the Li family.

Zhiqiang’s mother from the countryside was really too fierce and terrifying! Before she even married into the Li family, she was ordered by the Li family to wash dishes, mop the floor, and wash clothes! She couldn’t imagine what his mother would do to her if she actually married into the family!

But the marriage between the two families had been discussed, and Zhiqiang’s brother-in-law, in order to cut off her escape route, went to the Youth League Office to cancel Ji Wanqing’s medical record yesterday, and he also cancelled hers.

If she didn’t get married, she would only have to go to the countryside!

So, how could she not be jealous of Ji Wanqing?

From what her dad said, as long as this big Buddha was sent away, the money and things in the house would be considered a loss to avoid disaster, and they wouldn’t ask for them back!

Although she didn’t know the exact amount, she knew that her dad had cheated Ji Wanqing out of more than two thousand yuan!

And five days later, Ji Wanqing would be taking over a thousand yuan to join the army in the An Province Military Region.

There was no mother-in-law, no sister-in-law, no elder sister-in-law in the military region, her fiancé was a battalion commander, so she could get a big house, a monthly allowance of over a hundred yuan, and various subsidies!

Ji Xiaorou was so jealous that she was twisted!

How could she be so lucky!
