"Heh, I thought the guy on the ground had an eye problem, but it turns out even the army doctor has an eye problem. Do you need me to recommend a good doctor?"
Su Qiao's smile didn't reach her eyes; she gave a seemingly serious suggestion.
Song He then looked at Su Qiao seriously.
"Comrade Xiao Su!"
Since becoming a military doctor, no one has ever dared to speak to her like that.
Even those leaders were kind to her when they saw her.
Years of preferential treatment had made her feel like she hadn't heard such harsh words in a long time.
The soldiers behind him hadn't spoken yet.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from the slope beside them.
Su Qiao jumped to the side upon hearing the noise.
"Give me a hand."
A wheat-colored face suddenly appeared at the bottom of the slope.
He even stretched out a hand towards Su Qiao.
Su Qiao had already realized what was happening and reached out to grab her hand. With a gentle pull, she brought her up.
After the military wife came up, she grinned at Su Qiao and thanked her, revealing her snow-white teeth.
Su Qiao couldn't help but get a little distracted.
This person's teeth are very white.
However, the person's face was somewhat unfamiliar.
She doesn't seem to have seen her before.
So those are the military spouses in the new family compound?
Seeing Su Qiao's confusion.
"Thank you, Comrade Xiao Su. I'm from Staff Officer Wang's household; you can call me Aunt Zhou. You're a relative of Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, right?"
Su Qiao nodded, puzzled.
Zhou Xiaojuan smiled upon hearing this, her face crinkling with laughter.
After confirming, Zhou Xiaojuan turned and glanced at Song He.
When Song He heard about Staff Officer Wang's family members, a hint of panic flashed across her face.
She wasn't afraid of anyone else, except this person.
“Dr. Song, I saw what just happened. I was at the bottom of the slope. It was clearly your sister who tried to push Xiao Su, which is why she couldn’t stop. Xiao Su was willing to save people, which shows her magnanimity and great character.”
Every word Zhou Xiaojuan uttered landed heavily on Song He's head.
She was completely stunned.
But she still subconsciously answered, "Yes, you're right."
When Song Yingying saw her sister's sudden change in attitude, she immediately became resentful.
How could this be?
If she doesn't bring this into the picture, how will she find a new boyfriend?
The simplest way would have been to kill Su Qiao.
I never expected that things would not only fail to go smoothly, but my sister would also suffer injustice.
Song Yingying immediately stepped forward.
"Do you think you can spout nonsense just because you're a family member of the chief of staff?"
“I never said that, but three out of the people present pointed out your mistakes. Don’t you even want to think about this properly?”
Song He didn't want to offend anyone too much.
"Aunt Zhou, it's all my sister's fault. I apologize to Comrade Xiao Su."
"Don't call me Aunt Zhou, call me Dean Zhou."
Zhou Xiaojuan crossed her arms, showing no intention of giving Song He any face.
She had long heard of the good character of this military doctor, Song.
If it weren't for the decent medical skills—doctors are indeed scarce here—she would have had an attack long ago.
Although she is the director of an outside hospital, her connections are not just for show.
Song He forced a smile.
He reached out and tugged at Song Yingying, giving her a warning look.
Song Yingying then reluctantly apologized.
Su Qiao wouldn't tolerate such bad habits.
Since this person doesn't want to apologize, she won't accept it.
She glanced at her watch, then at it again, looking quite impatient.
“Aunt Zhou, thank you for speaking up for me today. It’s getting late, and I’d like to continue up the mountain.”
Zhou Xiaojuan glanced at Song Yingying, who was furious.
He laughed too.
She likes Xiao Su's personality.
Hearing this, she readily agreed, "In that case, would you mind taking me along?"
Zhou Xiaojuan hadn't been up the mountain for a long time, and she wouldn't have come here to find medicine herself if the patient hadn't been in such an emergency.
Now that I'm traveling with Su Qiao and the others, it's good to have someone to look after me.
Someone like Su Qiao would disdain informing on others.
Song Yingying saw that Su Qiao ignored her apology.
I was very dissatisfied.
"you……"
But Song He stopped him.
"Dean Zhou, do you need our help?"
Zhou Xiaojuan glanced at the several soldiers following behind her and secretly shook her head; this was far too much of a show of force.
I refused decisively.
"No."
Song He had no choice but to let them leave.
As Song Yingying watched their retreating figures, she continued to act coquettishly towards Song He.
"Sister, look how they treat me, you..."
"Shut up!" Song He shouted angrily.
Song Yingying immediately let go of her sleeve, took a step back, missed her footing again, and fell backward.
Li Hua, who had been watching from the sidelines, could only pretend to be a quail.
I wish she hadn't taken this job.
Now all I can do is minimize my presence.
I was just thinking of sneaking away.
He was hit squarely by Song Yingying again.
He immediately fell face-first into the dirt, his mouth full of dry leaves and mud.
There was also a very indescribable taste.
Ignoring her, Song Yingying stood up and started yelling at Song He.
"Sis, how dare you yell at me!"
Song He frowned, feeling a throbbing pain in her temple.
"Why didn't you speak up for me just now? If you had, maybe I could have gotten Su Qiao labeled as a perpetrator. With someone so morally corrupt, wouldn't it have been a foregone conclusion for Deputy Regiment Commander Lu to divorce her?"
Song He looked at Song Yingying's unrestrained speech.
I look down on her. This younger sister has been corrupted by her stepmother; she's all talk and no action.
And they're being unreasonable.
If I hadn't cleaned up her mess, her reputation would have been ruined long ago.
A few days ago, I wondered what the mother and daughter were thinking.
She actually took a liking to Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, who is a henpecked husband who cooks and does all the housework every day.
How could they even dare to think that?
But she is, after all, her own sister, so she has no choice but to forgive her.
Turning to the two soldiers closest to him, he said, "Pretend you didn't hear what I said today. When I get paid, I'll give you half."
The two soldiers responded numbly.
But deep down I knew this guy was just bragging again. He never seems to remember me when payday comes anyway.
Song He has said this more than a dozen times, but she has never remembered it.
They were used to it long ago.
They waited the first time, but were relieved when they found out she wouldn't give it to them.
They also realized that Song, the military doctor whose reputation spread throughout the army camp, was not actually that perfect.
If they hadn't kept their mouths shut, they might have ended up like their exes.
They are still young, and they don't want to leave the military yet.
Li Hua, who was standing to the side, also had a bright look in his eyes.
"Dr. Song, I won't tell anyone." Li Hua stared at her with bright eyes, as if expecting something.
She doesn't want half of her salary either.
Even just one piece would be fine.
To everyone's surprise, Song He merely glanced at her and then nodded.
If this military wife hadn't hastily brought her younger sister along, prematurely revealing her intentions, things wouldn't have become so complicated.
Li Hua was dumbfounded.
