Chapter 3 Can you be the same as Captain Gu?

After Su Nanzhi said this, she saw Qin Lie with his eyes wide open, pushing his wheelchair towards her. She closed her eyes and fainted again.

The crowd of onlookers were all shocked.

"Oh, Qin Lie's fiancée was beaten to death."

"He's not dead, he's still breathing. Hurry and take him to the hospital."

…

Gu Xizhou was about to leave when he saw Nanzhi fall down again.

As the only man who could walk, he became the best choice to carry Su Nanzhi to the infirmary.

Gu Xizhou wanted to use the same trick of pressing the philtrum to wake Su Nanzhi up, but after seeing that Su Nanzhi's philtrum had become swollen, he couldn't help feeling guilty.

Finally, under the constant urging of the military wives, they had no choice but to carry Su Nanzhi on their backs.

The woman's soft body pressed tightly against Gu Xizhou's back, her two slender arms resting on his broad shoulders, and a faint floral scent wafted over.

Gu Xizhou's body stiffened, and his hand holding the woman's thigh couldn't help but tighten.

It seemed that the force was too great, and the woman let out a slight murmur, and the sound of her breath sprayed in his ears. Gu Xizhou only felt a burning pain in his ears.

This was the first time he had such close contact with a woman.

As expected, women are weak, so it’s better to stay away from them.

Fortunately, he has made up his mind not to get married and devote his life to the army.

The strange look in Su Nanzhi's eyes when she looked at him appeared in his mind. Gu Xizhou took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and quickened his pace as he ran towards the infirmary with Su Nanzhi on his back.

Half an hour later.

"The patient is currently experiencing headaches and nausea. The possibility of a concussion cannot be ruled out. He needs to remain in the hospital for observation."

Political Commissar Zhu listened to the doctor's words with a frown on his face. He couldn't help but glare at Qin Lie beside him, then he forced a smile and looked at Su Nanzhi lying on the hospital bed.

At this moment, Su Nanzhi's forehead was wrapped in gauze, and her pale and thin face was bloodless.

Political Commissar Zhu, who was used to speaking loudly to his soldiers, couldn't help but soften his tone.

"Xiao Su, we can't say anything angry about the cancellation of the engagement. Zhao Xue is the widow of Qin Lie's comrade Zhou Qiang. That's why Qin Lie takes such good care of her and Xiaobao. If you affect Qin Lie's reputation, won't that hinder his future development?"

Once the reputation of his immoral private life spreads, Qin Lie will have no chance of promotion in the future.

He now hoped that Su Nanzhi would go down the ladder and not make things worse.

Hearing what Political Commissar Zhu said, Su Nanzhi curled the corners of her mouth.

She was not afraid of delaying Qin Lie's development, but was afraid that Qin Lie would still have room for development in the future.

Just after she said she wanted to cancel the engagement, she became dizzy due to excitement.

Although she could still hold on, she closed her eyes.

First, he had to see a doctor as soon as possible. Second, of course, he had to make the cancellation of the engagement as big a deal as possible.

She had just dozed off for half an hour when the political commissar in charge of ideological work in the army came to see her.

Those military wives should have already spread the gossip that "Qin Lie's fiancée from the countryside wants to break off the engagement because of the ambiguous relationship between Qin Lie and Zhao Xue."

"You can't say that just because a lesbian got a little closer to Qin Lie."

Political Commissar Zhu never forgot to give a piece of candy after beating someone with a stick.

"Of course, if you can provide evidence, our army will also deal seriously with Qin Lie's misconduct."

Su Nanzhi was not surprised at all when she heard what Political Commissar Zhu said.

At this moment, Qin Lie and Zhao Xue just had an ambiguous relationship and had not done anything out of the ordinary.

At most, Qin Lie would be accused of not knowing the difference between inside and outside, and canceling the engagement with him might play into Qin Lie's hands.

Su Nanzhi looked at Qin Lie's angry expression as if he had been wronged, and with red eyes, she looked at Political Commissar Zhu and said firmly, "Then you should let Qin Lie retire and return to the countryside."

After these words came out, Qin Lie, who had been sitting in the corner with a gloomy face and had been silent, could no longer hold back, "Su Nanzhi, if you want to go crazy, go back to your hometown and go crazy..."

Su Nanzhi didn't even look at Qin Lie, but just trembled, as if she was frightened by him, and looked at Political Commissar Zhu pitifully.

Political Commissar Zhu, who had wanted to scold Su Nanzhi, finally suppressed his anger after seeing her expression. He first scolded Qin Lie, and then said to Su Nanzhi, "Isn't it good to be a soldier in the army? Qin Lie is now the deputy battalion commander and earns 60 yuan a month. Some families in the countryside can't even earn 60 yuan a year."

These days, being a soldier is a great honor for the whole village. I have never heard of anyone being discharged from the army without any illness or other reasons.

Hearing what Political Commissar Zhu said, Su Nanzhi's heart was full of sarcasm. In her previous life, although Qin Lie had a monthly allowance of 60 yuan, he only sent 10 yuan or even 5 yuan back to his hometown every month. She thought Qin Lie's allowance was not much, but later she found out that he gave all the allowance to Zhao Xue.

She had complained about this, but in the end, Qin Lie only accused her of being stingy, and the Qin family accused her of spending money lavishly.

She doesn't want to be such a victim in this life.

Su Nanzhi pretended to be shocked. "How is that possible? Qin Lie sends home 10 yuan every month. Qin Lie's mother even complained that Qin Lie would be better off being a teacher in the village instead of a soldier. Although a teacher's salary is only 20 yuan, he can still take care of the family at home."

"If he gets a 60 yuan allowance a month as you said, where did the remaining 50 yuan go? He must have spent it on other women."

When she said the last sentence, Su Nanzhi's tone was full of confidence.

Political Commissar Zhu didn't hear the sarcasm in her words, but when he thought of what the military wives had just said, his face darkened.

Qin Lie was a soldier who wore the uniforms issued by the army almost 365 days a year and ate in the cafeteria, so naturally he didn't spend much money in a month.

Although Zhao Xue was a temporary worker in the army canteen, her food and clothing expenses had not decreased since Zhou Qiang's death, and had even improved.

His wife even whispered a few words in his ear, saying that Zhao Xue looked much younger now that she didn't have to serve her husband.

When Qin Lie heard what Su Nanzhi said, if he hadn't had an injury on his leg, he would have jumped up.

"Su Nanzhi, you haven't married into my family yet, so don't meddle in my business. You can use my money however you want."

"Zhao Xue is the widow of my comrade-in-arms. Even if I'm no longer a worthless person, I know that you shouldn't bully a friend's wife."

The more Qin Lie spoke, the more he felt he was right. Finally, when he saw Gu Xizhou leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, a flicker of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he said sourly, "Besides, I'm not the only one in the army who takes care of the widows of my comrades. Captain Gu has also adopted several of his comrades' children."

Gu Xizhou slowly opened his eyes. He didn't expect that the fire would burn himself. If he had known, he would have taken the unconscious Su Nanzhi to the hospital and left.

Su Nanzhi didn't expect Qin Lie to be so shameless and lack self-awareness...

"Qin Lie, have you become stupid in the army? Your mother is bedridden all year round, your father has bad legs and feet, and your sister is young."

Su Nanzhi's words tore off Qin Lie's last fig leaf.

"Can you be the same as Captain Gu? If you had his family background and conditions, you could adopt 100 widows and children of your comrades, and I, Su Nanzhi, wouldn't say a word."
