Linghu Lan: You're such a Monday morning quarterback, what use are you?

#System: At least I can give you a shout-out!#

Having confirmed it was Mo Tang, Linghu Lan calmly clutched the money in her hand.

Lingyun's life was an accident; no one ever offered her a helping hand.

Linghu Lan, upon arriving in this world, had almost nothing except Mo Tang and her gender. She gladly accepted Mo Tang's kindness.

The crowd erupted in chaos: "They really gave us money! Lingyun's hit the jackpot!"

Fourth Grandfather hurriedly said, "Lingyun, quickly thank this major."

"Thank you, Major!"

The soft, gentle voice drifted into Jingxing's ears, like a feather brushing against his heart, tickling him!

The two soldiers stared wide-eyed in horror.

Number 1: Calling Number 2, calling Number 2, the Major's ears are twitching, the Major's ears are twitching.

#2: Reply to #1, reply to #1, I'm smitten, I'm smitten.

Number 1 and Number 2: ...Who told us that soldiers must be calm and collected, only to have our hearts turn into boiling water in the blink of an eye? That's not fair!

Zhang Huixiang's eyes lit up when she saw the stack of cash, and she instantly changed her mind: let this little brat get the money first, and I'll get it back to pay Ling Yong's tuition.

Jing Xing glanced at Zhang Huixiang and immediately knew what she was up to.

He said in a deep voice, "No need to thank me. I know the principal of Changnan High School. If you don't go to school, I will go to your house in person and get the money back. My money is for cultivating talents for the motherland, not for just anyone to use."

Linghu Lan chuckled. Such a sharp tongue, no wonder she's Mo Tang, case closed!

"Yes, Major! But don't wait, I can pay the tuition in a bit."

Linghu Lan estimated the time and figured Teacher Ren would be arriving soon.

Zhang Huixiang was getting anxious. This soldier was very capable. Since he couldn't be used by Ling Yong, Ling Yun shouldn't be allowed to use him either.

"Ling Yun, have you no shame? You'll take money from any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Just throw the money down here."

Jingxing was furious.

"Both of them are guilty. What are the penalties for insulting and defaming military personnel under the Criminal Law?"

"Reporting to the Major: Insulting and defaming military personnel is punishable by imprisonment of up to three years, according to Article 392 of the Criminal Law."

Zhang Huixiang opened her mouth wide, feeling pain in her heart, face, and feet, as if she had kicked a steel plate.

Immediately, a peacemaker emerged from the crowd.

"Xuefeng's wife, the major meant well, how can you not distinguish between good and bad?"

"Exactly, people are kindly giving you money, and you're still cursing at them? Don't you want to keep your shop open anymore? But a lot of soldiers come to your shop to buy things."

"That's right. Every time the families of those soldiers come to visit, they buy things from your shop. You've benefited so much from being a soldier. They even pay for Lingyun's tuition, and you don't have to spend any money. What more could you want? Stop talking."

When the convenience store was mentioned, it became Zhang Huixiang's second Achilles' heel, and she wisely shut her mouth indignant anger.

Linghu Lan felt like firecrackers were going off in her heart.

Wow, my Tang is amazing!

I give you a thousand thumbs up, and I'm not afraid you'll get arrogant!

Just then, a clear female voice rang out from outside.

"Ling Yun?"

"Teacher Ren? I'm here."

The crowd parted to let Teacher Ren in.

Zhang Huixiang felt like she was being scratched by a thousand cats: the soldiers hadn't even left yet, and now a teacher had arrived; she had truly seen a ghost today.

She was filled with regret. She had been careless today and shouldn't have let that brat run out of the house.
