Chapter 1176: Self-Reliance

is four out of five, congratulations missioner, you are only one step away from completing the mission, keep up the good work!"The communicator's voice suddenly rang out again."This sounds familiar,..."Yo-yo, did you hear me clearly"

Xing Laotou asked seriously.

"Okay."

R ripples nodded vigorously.

Elder Xing took out his pipe, but after glancing at his daughter, he put it away again. Things were becoming rather difficult now.

After all, being single and having a partner are two different things. You can't force a cow to drink water, even if it's thirsty.

"Little sister, tell Mom and Dad what happened."

Xing Laotou's eyebrows furrowed, wanting to hear the details of what had happened.

"Father, Mother, to be honest with you, I have a good feeling about Li Xiangjun. I admire him for serving in the army and protecting our country. Plus, he's from the same village as me, so I know him well. Since he's on leave, I want to go see him and express my feelings."

If he agrees, we'll start dating first. I'll marry him after I find a job. If he disagrees, I'll give up on this idea.

As soon as I got to his doorstep, I heard Li Pozi shouting at him loudly, saying that Xiang Jun was well-off and had found a female officer as his partner. She also complained that he hadn't brought his partner back this time for a meeting.

Li Xiangjun seemed very pleased, saying that he came back on holiday this time just to tell Li Pozi, and by the way, to take back his stipend kept at Li Pozi's place to prepare for his wedding. I didn't hear the rest.

I was in a bad mood, so I went for a walk by the river to clear my head. Coincidentally, I heard someone calling for help. It turned out to be Goudan, and that's when I jumped in to save him.

Hearing the ripples' words, the old couple looked at each other, their expressions becoming somewhat solemn.

Ripple also saw the expressions of the two people and simply said:

“Father, Mother, it's not that your daughter is belittling herself. If it were you two, would you want your son to marry a woman from the same village who knows her roots but has no job, or a woman who is an officer with a salary and can help your son”

Now both of them were silent. They couldn't go against their conscience and say they would marry a girl from the same village.

"If he already has a girlfriend, why is he so attentive to you"

Mr. Xing said unhappily.

"Dad, he did that to save me."

Ripple said helplessly.

"If that's the case, he should just say it openly. We wouldn't force him to marry you anyway!"

Mother Xing was also displeased and said.

If I didn't tell you what I heard, Li Pozi said that her son has a girlfriend in the army. Do you believe it

You must think the Li family doesn't want to take responsibility for me, so they made up an excuse. And after saying it out loud, Li Xiangjun's reputation will be even worse. After all, just like Dad said, he has a girlfriend, so how can he be so careless about the impact

Ripple patiently breaks it down and explains.

This time, both the old couple fell silent. Their daughter was telling the truth; they did think that way.

Ripple continued,

Even if they married me into the Li family for Li Xiangjun's future and reputation, could they possibly have no thoughts about me Could they possibly treat me well

And how many days can Li Xiangjun stay in the village What will I do when he pats his buttocks and leaves, leaving me to face Li Pozi He's back in the army, so close to his girlfriend. Could he let it go

"Those two people already have a relationship. Marrying me was out of necessity, and I'm so far away that I don't even have a chance to win him over. If Li Xiangjun keeps making excuses not to come back, won't I just be left as a widow"

"He dares!"

Old Xing stubbornly said.

"How could he possibly refuse Li Xiangjun said the troops have a mission, can you even pull him back from the army If you really do this, you'll be making enemies of the Li family."

Ripples shook her head.

Old Man Xing could tell. His daughter didn't want to marry into the Li family and live a life where she wouldn't be liked by her mother-in-law or cherished by her husband. She seemed to have made up her own mind, so he directly asked:

"Yo-yo, what are you planning"

I won't marry. Only then will the Li family be happy, and at least it won't hinder Li Xiangjun's promising future. Since I've already suffered the loss, I deserve some practical compensation.

What compensation

"Give me the money, and let Li's family pay for my tuition for a year of review. I want to go to college, get into university, and leave Fuyuan Village. Who will remember what happened today then I'll have a bright future."

Ripple stated unequivocally.

This time, neither Mr. nor Mrs. Xing rebutted. Both of them pondered the feasibility of this request individually.

Even the ripples fell silent, leaving ample time for both of them to contemplate.

After a long while, Xing's father asked:

"Yo mei, have you thought it through Are you sure you can pass this time"

"Alright, this time I'm sure to pass. Last time, I was only a few points short, and besides, if I have to repeat a year, I'll only be able to go to the county high school. It's far from the village, and once Li Xiangjun leaves, this whole thing will fade away in time."

Whoever keeps bringing this up, Li Xiangjun was trying to save someone, and I also saved the youngest son of the Li family. Consider it a thank-you gift from their family. Let's not involve Li Xiangjun's marriage. Li's mother would definitely be happy, and Li Xiangjun should be even happier."

Ripple stated confidently.

"Alright, this time I'll listen to my little sister. I'll go find the village head and try to mediate."

"Dad, you and the village head should make things clear, but don't let the village head reveal that Li Xiangjun has a girlfriend. If Li's mother thinks we're threatening her, it'll be bad. After all, this information came from me eavesdropping."

The ripples then urged him again.

"Rest assured, father knows what he's doing. If this needs to be said, it will wait until Li Xiangjun is gone."

The village head is a distant relative of the Lao Xing family, not even within five degrees of kinship. How could he possibly help an outsider

Mr. Xing is still quite resourceful.

Ripple, after hearing this, immediately gave Old Xing a thumbs up in her heart. Ginger is still the hottest! He had already figured everything out at this moment.

"Alright, you're feeling weak, so get some rest. I'm going to find your uncle for a cigarette."

Old Xing put on his thick cotton coat and, with a shove of his hand into his pocket, walked out the door.

Then, Mother Xing spoke:

"I knew you wouldn't give up, and you still want to go to university. With the Li family's gift, you can achieve your wish. Your three sisters-in-law can't complain anymore."

"Mother, you still understand me best."

Lian Yi immediately hugged Xing Mu's arm and acted cute.

"Hmph! You crawled out of my belly, I know your every thought just by looking at you."

Xing's mother tapped Li Yan's forehead and said.

With a ripple of a smile, she chuckled and then said:

"Mother, since we've already divided the family, let's each live our own lives well. I won't act as a meddling sister-in-law, and they can't control how we spend our money. I was thinking of taking you and father with me when I go to the county once I pass the exams. In spring, you two shouldn't plant any crops anymore."

What do you eat if you don't farm What do you drink

Xing's mother scolded angrily.

“Starting a small business in the county will definitely earn more than farming at home.”

The ripples said with certainty.

"You're so bold, you just think up things as you go. Let's talk about it later!"

Although Ms. Xing wanted to follow her daughter, she also didn't want to abandon their family land. After all, land is the foundation for farmers.

The ripples already have plans. From her mother-in-law's attitude, she knows that the older generation still wants to rely on land for a living and is unwilling to take risks. She plans to go to the county once she recovers, set her goals, and speak with facts.

The two talked for a while, and then ripples were sent to rest by Mother Xing.

Xing Laotou arrived at the village head's house at this time and told his kinsman Xing Guoqing about Lianyi and Li Xiangjun.s thinking Is she willing to be the child of a Federal hero, or a pawn in the anti-league's gameIf you were in her shoes, what would you choose Perhaps she knows about her own past Maybe she just want...
