Therefore, she clearly remembered that in her previous life, Su Yueya's family had treated her extremely well, to the point that she had no way to repay them.
"Thank you!" Meng Yingxin said.
Su Yueya: "..."
She was a little confused and didn't understand why Meng Yingxin was thanking her so sincerely, but as long as it wasn't hostile, it was fine. Besides, this was her future sister-in-law.
Meng Yingxin silently vowed in her heart that in this second life, getting rid of her vicious family was only the first step. From now on, she would live a different life!
Not only that, she also wanted to treat everyone who had been kind to her with kindness and repay them, especially Su Yueya's family...
Back then, when Su Yueya told her stories, she talked about how the protagonists of rebirth novels would meticulously plan their revenge after being given a second chance at life. Meng Yingxin wasn't so fixated on that now.
If the Meng family stops bothering her from now on, she can truly live up to her promise of forgiveness, pursue the meaning of her life, repay those who have been kind to her, and do things of value...
But if the Meng family members are still up to no good and come looking for trouble with her, then she will definitely retaliate in kind.
"Alright, hurry up and go in. You still have to report in," Su Yueya reminded them.
The whole team is back to prepare for the final assessment, which is only a few days away.
Everyone walked in together, chatting and laughing.
Perhaps because of what had just happened, many of the female soldiers felt that they had gone through hardships with Meng Yingxin, and they no longer looked down on her; even their tone became much more friendly and natural.
"Meng Yingxin, are your family members really that terrifying?"
"That's right, when you collapsed on the ground unconscious, we all thought you were dead. We were terrified and a little sad... Guess what your family members said?"
“I heard it! They said the bride price is gone, but if you really die, they'll find a way to arrange a ghost marriage for you. I've never seen such a family!”
"That's too much! When we almost got into a fight just now, Meng Yingxin, I helped you out!"
"I helped too!"
"Me too!"
"Meng Yingxin, why are you silent again? Just now you were arguing fiercely with the scholars and your family, why are you ignoring everyone now?"
Su Yueya hadn't separated from them yet. Hearing this, she actually knew why, but she was very curious about how Meng Yingxin would handle the problem.
Meng Yingxin's solution was to confront it directly.
"Meng Yingxin, say something!"
"Meng Yingxin, why are you always ignoring people?"
Meng Yingxin stopped and looked at these female soldiers who thought they were being friendly, saying coldly, "What do I have to say to you? Have you forgotten how you bullied me?"
“I may have hit my head on the ground, but I haven’t lost my memory. I remember all the good things you’ve done.”
Immediately, there was complete silence.
All the female soldiers were wondering if Meng Yingxin meant to settle scores later.
Honestly, if it comes down to "settling accounts" now, they're not really confident they can beat Meng Yingxin, after all, she just showed some pretty ruthless moves.
But Meng Yingxin had no intention of settling scores later.
After a long silence, she finally spoke.
"But I saw you help me when those people attacked me just now, and I acknowledge that favor."
Before the female soldiers could even rejoice, they heard her continue.
"We can't be friends, but we don't have to be enemies either. From now on, let's each look after ourselves and not have any contact."
After saying that, Meng Yingxin left without looking back.
Hearing Meng Yingxin's words, the female soldiers felt particularly bad, and even a little guilty. After all, they had misunderstood Meng Yingxin and done many things to hurt and wrong her.
But as Meng Yingxin said, let's keep things separate, not talk about forgiveness, and not hold grudges. From now on, let's keep to ourselves.
This is the best option for everyone.
"I'm starting to feel a little regretful. If only I had—"
"Forget it, what's the use of regretting it? There's no such thing as 'if only I had known'. It seems we'll just be nodding acquaintances from now on."
"I really didn't realize that. I thought she was just pretending, but actually she's living a very pitiful life and has a really weak personality. If she hadn't been pushed to the limit this time, I don't know how much her family would have been leeching off her..."
"Sigh, every family has its own troubles!"
After traveling together for a while, Su Yueya parted ways with them.
After a series of activities including dormitory assignments, Meng Yingxin was finally able to return to her own dormitory and lie down to rest.
She ignored her roommates—the same roommates who had bullied her before, but who no longer dared to do so.
After washing up, Meng Yingxin lay in bed, lost in thought, her mind drifting back to her previous life...

"Meng Yingxin has fainted!"
At the entrance of the military base, a group of people were pulling and tugging in a chaotic manner.
After Meng Yingxin fainted, she was revived. Just then, the patrol team came out, brandished their weapons, and thwarted the Meng family's plan to kidnap her.
"Meng Yingxin, you better remember this: you were born a member of the Meng family, and you will die a member of the Meng family. You will get married sooner or later, so let's see how long you can hide!" Pan Wenfang said fiercely.
Because of the presence of the patrol team, they dared not use force and could only watch helplessly as Meng Yingxin followed the team into the military base.
"Dad, Mom, are we just going to let this go like this?" Meng Chengfu said unwillingly. He was still waiting for that dowry money!
“This little bastard has grown wings now, with the army backing her up. We can’t force her for now…” Meng Demao said viciously, his eyes full of calculation, not like a father at all. He spat, “Look at her pathetic appearance, I don’t believe she can stay in the army. She’ll be kicked out sooner or later!”
“Yes!” Pan Wenfang agreed wholeheartedly. “She’s my daughter, I know! Son, we’re not in a hurry. After she’s kicked out of the army, we’ll get her married sooner or later!”
The Meng family left cursing, but they didn't give up.
Meng Yingxin joined the army and was assigned a dormitory. She continued to be bullied and harassed by the female soldiers, but this suffering did not last long.
Not long after, Meng Yingxin failed the new recruit assessment, as expected.
"Now we are announcing the list of those who failed the assessment. If your name is called, please step forward!"
Ultimately, five female soldiers failed to pass.
There was no punishment; I was simply asked to leave the school as usual.
As Meng Yingxin walked out of the military base with her luggage, she looked up at the sky. The sun was so bright, but she couldn't feel any warmth; instead, she felt a chill running through her body.
The world is so vast, yet she has nowhere to even find refuge.
She once thought that running away from home and hiding in the army would give her a new life, but she never expected that she would begin a life of bullying.
