Chapter 173 Rong Shan is dead?

Not surprisingly, Gu Yuan, the greatest contributor, was awarded a first-class merit!

Then Captain Lin was also awarded a second-class merit, and the remaining soldiers were also credited with military merits according to their contributions.

Finally, because of this battle, the higher-ups awarded one first-class merit, one second-class merit, and there were more than ten to twenty third-class merits and other military merits of varying sizes!

However, considering the international prestige and status that this battle brought to the country, it is not surprising that the higher-ups gave out so many military achievements!

After the commendation meeting, Gu Yuan and Lu Chiyu returned home together, but Lu Chiyu found that her soldier brother was not in a very good mood.

"Yuanyuan, why are you unhappy?" Lu Chiyu couldn't help but ask.

"Not really." Gu Yuan shook his head.

"Are you thinking about Colonel Zhou and the others?" Lu Chiyu asked.

"Ayu, I don't want our soldiers to bleed because of foreign invasion again." Gu Yuan said sadly.

"Yes, as long as our national defense develops, tragedies like Colonel Zhou and others will definitely become less and less frequent in the future. So we must work harder to develop national defense until we are strong enough that no one dares to bully us easily!" Lu Chiyu said firmly.

Lu Chiyu felt that God had sent her to this era, and had given her the mission to accelerate the country's rise at that time and avoid more tragedies!

In her previous life, she enjoyed the peace and prosperity that was won through the bloodshed and sacrifices of generations of ancestors. Now, standing at this point in time, she also has the mission to contribute to this era like those ancestors did.

Gu Yuan looked at Lu Chiyu's serious profile. He understood what she was thinking and couldn't help but touch the top of her head for a moment.

"That's right, Ayu, we will." Captain Gu was also infected by Lu Chiyu's determination, and at this moment he was full of confidence in the strong future of national defense.

Finally, he couldn't help but sigh to Lu Chiyu: "In fact, the biggest hero of this Tailiang Island battle is not me, but you, Ayu.

Everyone in our fleet knows that without the advanced unmanned submarines and torpedoes designed by you, Ayu, and without your precise destruction of the enemy ships at the most appropriate time, this battle would not have been so successful.

If we rely on ourselves, even if I kill George, we may not be able to win this battle.

So, Ayu, the first-class merit I received today should be yours!"

Hearing what her soldier brother said, Lu Chiyu couldn't help crying and burst out laughing.

So another reason why her soldier brother was not so happy was that he felt that he had taken the credit that belonged to her?

Her captain Gu is usually such a wise man, why does he always think wrongly about her?

Seeing Captain Gu's serious face, Lu Chiyu thought for a moment and then guided him by asking, "Yuanyuan, don't you think that your great contribution doesn't deserve this first-class merit? Just tell the truth."

"Well-deserved!" Captain Gu thought for a moment, and finally gave the same answer as Lu Chiyu had imagined.

"So that's right, this first-class merit you received is not mine, it's yours.

As for my first-class merit, it was kept secret, so the organization couldn't publicly commend me, but I believe the organization will not treat me unfairly." Lu Chiyu said with a smile.

Gu Yuan suddenly understood and realized that he had reached a dead end again regarding the little girl. He felt a little embarrassed.

But I still feel a little sorry for Lu Chiyu, as her contribution cannot be known to everyone.

I couldn't help but say, "But Ayu, your contribution should be worth it..."

Lu Chiyu interrupted Gu Yuan before he finished speaking, "No buts, Yuanyuan, I once heard that in a national defense university they had a statue of a person holding a huge sword, with his head bowed and his face hidden. It symbolizes the anonymous sword forging for the country.

If I could, I would also like to be such a person, hiding my identity and only wishing to forge a sword that can make our nation stand tall among the nations of the world, and then tell our ancestors who sacrificed their lives that they have successors.

Lu Chiyu's voice was not loud, but at this moment Gu Yuan felt that her words were deafening!

"Okay, Ayu, I support you." Gu Yuan nodded after a long time.

Lu Chiyu smiled: "Well, Yuanyuan, we must support each other in the future."

Finally, the young couple smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

…………

At the same time, Rong Shan, who was working on the farm, couldn't smile.

Ever since the farm manager was replaced, Rong Shan's life has been difficult.

She had been spoiled since childhood and could barely do farm work. She could not adapt to the intensity of farm labor, so in a short period of time she was worn out like a woman in her forties or fifties.

Especially after the news that she was the granddaughter of a traitor leaked out, some patriotic people on the farm sneered at her.

Even some people with bad character despise the act of treason.

So in addition to the heavy labor, Rong Shan had to face all kinds of ridicule and even difficulties from time to time.

Rong Shan felt that such days were worse than death, and her hatred towards Lu Chiyu reached its peak!

At noon, the pleasant sound of gongs and drums, which was a good time for lunch, finally rang out from the edge of the field.

As soon as Rong Shan heard the sound of gongs and drums, she immediately dropped the hoe in her hand and rushed over to get her food. Although she felt that her current life was worse than death, she still did not have the courage to die.

When she finally got her food, Rong Shan found a corner and started to wolf it down.

However, she had only eaten half of the meal when the lunch box in her hand suddenly fell to the ground with a clang!

When everyone looked over, they saw Rong Shan foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground...

The next day, news spread from the farm that Rong Shan had accidentally ingested aflatoxin and died of poisoning.

The news that a traitor's granddaughter died of poisoning did not attract much attention. Those who knew about it would not waste their time on such a person, and many people even applauded.

In this era, the entire family of traitors would usually be shot or sent to a farm for life. No one would sympathize with Rong Shan if she ended up like this.

…………

Three days later, Rong Shan woke up in a house near a farm.

When she opened her eyes again and saw the daylight, she burst into tears and laughter.

She thought she was dead this time because she felt so painful after eating the food that she couldn't even shout for help.

Rong Shan's last thought before she lost consciousness was that Lu Chiyu had sent someone to kill her and silence her! But she couldn't take revenge!

When Rong Shan found out that she was still alive, she knew that she had guessed wrong and that Lu Chiyu did not want to kill her. However, she did not feel the slightest bit of guilt for her previous mean-spirited behavior towards Lu Chiyu.

Even at this moment, she found that she was still alive and was ecstatic because she still had the chance to take revenge on Lu Chiyu.

But where is this strange place?

After the pleasure, Rong Shan finally began to think about where she was now.

At this moment, the door was opened at the right time, and an old woman in her sixties walked in. Rong Shan's eyes widened instantly.

What shocked her was not that the person who came was an old woman, but that the other person was someone she knew!

"Liu...Aunt Liu, why are you here?" Rong Shan asked the person who came with a trembling voice.

"Why can't it be me? Niece Shan'er, aren't you excited to see Aunt Liu?"

Although Liu Xiang only said a very short sentence, Rong Shan felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet.

She felt that Liu Xiang in front of her was a little...perverted, both in her tone of voice and her expression.

"Excited...excited?" Rong Shan finally managed to squeeze out a question.
