Chapter 642: You Just Happened to Play the Hero Saving the Beauty
Unable to figure it out, Liu Chuxue leaned close to Fu Yan Cheng's ear and asked in a low voice, "What's his situation?"
Fu Yan Cheng knew what she was thinking without asking and explained in a low voice, "Instructor Guo's wife died in childbirth two years ago, along with the baby. At that time, he was on a mission out of town. By the time he returned, he hadn't even seen his wife one last time, leaving him with great self-blame and guilt.
So for these two years, part of his wages was sent back to his hometown for his parents, and part was sent to his mother-in-law's family. In contrast, he has been extremely strict with himself."
While they were speaking, Physician Zhao had moved to the bed near the door, "Your injury is recovering quite well. We'll do a comprehensive check tomorrow. If there are no problems, you can be discharged to recover at home. Come back for a follow-up in a week. If there are no issues then, you can return to your unit."
Hearing this, Company Commander Su beamed, "That's great news. I can go home and marry my wife."
Guo Dajiang, lying in the middle bed, heard this and said, "When did you find a wife? Your secrecy work is impressive."
Company Commander Su scratched his head and smiled foolishly, "My grandma says a fool has fool's luck. I was on a mission near my hometown recently and happened to go home. I just happened to run into my fiancée's former fiancé's family causing trouble at our house..."
Before he could finish, he heard Guo Dajiang add, "So you just happened to play the hero saving the beauty?"
Company Commander Su gave a simple smile, "More or less."
After finishing the examination, Physician Zhao led the people away.
Instructor Guo, however, was curious about Company Commander Su's marriage.
Seeing their curiosity, Company Commander Su began to tell the story, "My fiancée was originally betrothed to a family. But just a few days after they set the wedding date, that man went up the mountain and met with an accident. He couldn't be saved.
That family believed the rumors, thinking my wife was cursed to bring bad luck to men. They brought their clan relatives and caused a scene at her home.
I happened to be home and ran into it, so I helped resolve the situation. My future father-in-law insisted on pulling me into the house to sit..."
Now everyone understood. Through this back-and-forth, he and that Miss had taken a liking to each other.
Company Commander Su sat up, "I submitted my marriage report a while ago. It should be approved soon. I'll just go back and marry her, so people won't have anything to say."
Guo Dajiang laughed, "Your wife isn't cursed to bring bad luck to men. In my opinion, she's destined to bring good fortune to her husband. With the merit you earned this time, you should be promoted a rank. Once you marry, she can join the army with you."
Hearing this, Company Commander Su also laughed. The official promotion notice hadn't arrived yet, but he knew it was a sure thing. He also felt he had found a treasure.
Fu Yan Cheng felt the same way as Company Commander Su. With the merit accumulated from these few times, his name should be on the promotion list this time. However, since it wasn't certain, he naturally wouldn't say it.
Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Chuxue asked Xiao Guo to take care of Fu Yan Cheng and went out herself.
Not far from the treatment team hospital was a village. After coming out a few times, she headed straight there.
As soon as she entered the village, the aunties and mothers at the village information station stopped her, "Miss, who are you? What are you doing in the village?"
Another mother also said, "You look unfamiliar. You probably haven't been to the village before."
Liu Chuxue smiled and pointed towards the army unit, "Aunties and mothers, I'm from the army unit. Someone in my family was injured and hospitalized. I thought I'd come to the village to trade for a chicken to stew for nourishment."
Hearing that she was here to trade, all the mothers and aunties got excited.
One mother pushed straight to the front, "Miss, do you have cloth coupons? If you do, I'll trade with you."
