Afraid of being arrested by Cai's mother again, Qiao Xiaoling ran as fast as she could, not daring to stop.

By the time she reached the commune, she was already exhausted and out of breath, her legs shaking constantly.

Qiao Xiaoling's face was pale. As she had planned long ago, she ran to the barracks where the commune was stationed.

What she had said to Cai's mother before was not wrong. These days, without a letter of proof, it is indeed impossible to stay in a place other than the place of residence for a long time.

So, she couldn't handle it as usual.

She planned to hook up with an officer and let powerful people help her solve these problems, right? These things were as difficult as climbing to the sky for her, but for the truly powerful people, it was just a matter of saying a word.

Qiao Xiaoling has no psychological burden at all about this.

Anyway, she didn't get a marriage certificate with that idiot, let alone have sex with him, so it can't be considered marriage.

The barracks were just around the corner. Qiao Xiaoling quickly tidied herself up. Although her hair was still a little messy, it made her look pitiful. Coupled with her charming facial features, she aroused men's desire to protect her even more.

Qiao Xiaoling looked at her current appearance in the water on the road and put her heart back in her stomach.

She was staring at the gate of the barracks from a distance, ready to pick someone to scam at any time!

After a short while, Qiao Xiaoling really found her target!

A jeep drove out of the barracks. The man in the car was wearing a neat military uniform. He looked very dignified and must be an official of high rank.

Faced with the speeding car, Qiao Xiaoling rushed forward without hesitation!

Squeak—bang!

Even though the jeep braked in time, Qiao Xiaoling still fell to the ground.

But she was not hit by the car. She fell to the ground before the car could hit her.

There was a big tear in Qiao Xiaoling's pants, revealing her long white legs. She was lying on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.

The next moment, the car door opened and a man in his thirties with strong and resolute features got out.

The man was a company commander in the barracks, named Yang Mingwu. He was driving to the county for a meeting, but he didn't expect to bump into someone as soon as he went out. He was filled with anxiety and panic.

"Comrade, are you alright?"

Yang Mingwu hurried forward and wanted to help Qiao Xiaoling up.

Qiao Xiaoling acted reasonable and said, "Sir, don't worry about me. Just go about your business. I'll just stay here for a while."

Yang Mingwu frowned, "How can this be possible? I'll take you to the clinic."

Qiao Xiaoling shook her head, and Xiaoyi said gently, "No, no, I'm not seriously injured. There's no need to spend that money."

Yang Mingwu asked again, "Where are you from? I'll take you home."

"don't want!"

Qiao Xiaoling suddenly screamed in fear, as if she felt she had overreacted. She quickly lowered her head and said pitifully, "Please don't send me back. My family wants to sell me to a fool. If I go back, they will definitely send me to a fool's house..."

She rubbed her eyes while crying, her sleeves slipped down, and the purple bruises on her fair skin were particularly conspicuous.

Such a beautiful girl with a tragic life experience can most arouse men's desire to protect her.

"Ridiculous! This is a new society, how dare they still arrange marriages!"

As expected, even Yang Mingwu, who looked serious, was not immune to this.

He put the serious business aside for the moment. At this moment, he was overwhelmed with formality and just wanted to help Qiao Xiaoling solve her problem. "Come on, I'll take you to the police station to explain everything. I'll have the police arrest your family and educate them. I'll make sure they don't dare force you to marry again in the future!"

"I'd rather not," Qiao Xiaoling shook her head, a bitter smile playing on the corners of her lips. "My father died early, and my uncles and aunts kicked my mother and me out of the house. It's already very good that my grandmother's family accepted us, an orphan and a widow, and gave us a place to live. I'm very grateful to my grandmother and uncles. Even if the person who was originally engaged to the idiot was actually my cousin, and my cousin didn't want to marry the idiot but asked me to marry her, I can't be ungrateful. After all, my cousin is my grandmother's biological granddaughter, and I'm just her granddaughter. It's only natural that my grandmother favors my cousin..."

Hearing this, Yang Mingwu's hard heart softened into something soft as silk.

What a kind girl she is!

How could she have such a useless family! Her granddaughter is her biological daughter, but does that mean her granddaughter-in-law is not? She couldn't bear to see her granddaughter marry a fool, so she let her granddaughter-in-law marry. How could people be so biased?

Yang Mingwu was so angry that he wanted to take Qiao Xiaoling back to the Bai family to support her.

Poor old lady Bai obviously treated her granddaughter Qiao Xiaoling much better than her granddaughter Bai Ying, but now she is being smeared by Qiao Xiaoling, the one she loves the most...

Of course, if Old Lady Bai knew that Qiao Xiaoling did this to get close to the officer, she wouldn't be angry, but would be happy instead! Perhaps this is why the two of them have such similar interests and a relationship that far surpasses that of other grandparents and grandchildren.

Knowing that Yang Mingwu had believed her, Qiao Xiaoling was secretly pleased. However, she didn't dare show it on her face. She quickly pressed the issue, "Sir, could you please help me find a place to live? I may not have a high level of education, but I can help you with work and I definitely won't eat for free!"

After saying that, Qiao Xiaoling looked up at Yang Mingwu.

The girl's facial features are soft and pretty, and under her slender white neck is a magnificent chest. She has such a beautiful body, but her expression is so stubborn and lovable that it can simply melt one's heart.

Yang Mingwu stared at it for a long time before looking away. His ears flushed slightly as he said, "Well, I have an old house in the commune. If you don't mind it being so shabby, you can live there first. Also, you don't have to call me 'commander'. My last name is Yang, and I'm much older than you. You can call me 'Big Brother'."
