If Huang Linlin wanted her to help with something, Xu Miaomiao would definitely refuse her, but she just wanted to borrow money.
Xu Miaomiao liked people who knew their limits, and she wasn't short of money, so she immediately went out and found a place to get the money out of the space.
She handed the twenty big unity notes in her hand to Huang Linlin, who was shocked by the amount of money.
He waved his hands repeatedly and refused, "No, no, no, it doesn't need to be so much. I just want to borrow fifty dollars."
Xu Miaomiao ignored her refusal and stuffed the money under her pillow.
"Take it first. You're out here by yourself, especially since your health hasn't fully recovered yet. Don't rush to find a job."
Huang Linlin's expression looked a little strange. She didn't seem to want to cry but just kept nodding in agreement.
Xiao Li was still waiting for her outside. She had asked the doctor and was told that Huang Linlin was in good condition.
She can take care of herself and doesn't need someone to take care of her all the time, so she helped others pay the medical bills.
She returned to the ward and said goodbye to Huang Linlin, "I've already told the doctors. If you have any problems, you can ask them for help."
"I have two children waiting for me at home. I can't stay any longer. I'm leaving first."
Huang Linlin nodded quickly, "Sorry to trouble you again, please be careful on the road."
When Xu Miaomiao went out, Xiao Li was leaning against the car smoking. When he saw her come out, he quickly put out the cigarette.
Xiao Li came up and asked, "Are you going home now, sister-in-law?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded and got in the car. "Yes, I have to go back. Your company commander and the children are still waiting for me at home."
Xiao Li was woken up by Chen Chen just after he fell asleep. It was already midnight and he was a little sleepy.
Seeing that he was still trying to stay awake, Xu Miaomiao touched the cigarette box in his pocket several times but didn't take it out.
She thought he might feel embarrassed to smoke since she was in the car, so she took the initiative to speak.
"If you feel sleepy, why not have a cigarette to perk yourself up?"
Xiao Li hesitated, but couldn't muster up the energy. "Our company commander said we can't smoke in front of you..."
Xu Miaomiao felt like laughing when she saw his aggrieved look. A muscular man who was 1.78 meters tall was really not suitable for this expression.
She lowered her head and smiled for a while before saying, "It's okay, go ahead and smoke. It's not like I can't smell cigarettes."
Xiao Li then took out a cigarette box from his pocket. He put the cigarette in his mouth and made a vague request.
"Then you must keep this a secret for me. If the company commander finds out, he'll punish me."
Xu Miaomiao nodded repeatedly and promised to help him keep the secret.
While Xiao Li was driving, he kept secretly watching her through the rearview mirror. He wanted to ask the woman what was going on, but he didn't know if he could.
It was Xu Miaomiao who spoke first, "Xiao Li, I want to ask you about someone."
"Hmm? Tell me, let me see if I recognize him."
"Do you know there's a guy named Zheng Yi there?"
Xiao Li must be unfamiliar with him, because he thought for a while before answering her question.
"I'm not familiar with Zheng Yi. We've only met a few times. He's a bit..."
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Miaomiao hesitantly, wondering why she was asking about this person.
There were some things he didn't know whether he should tell the truth.
Xu Miaomiao understood what he meant and had no intention of hiding anything from him, so she simply told him Huang Linlin's identity.
"I was afraid that if he knew I was the one who took Huang Linlin to the hospital, he would come to my house and cause trouble."
"I don't want to cause trouble for Chen Chen. After all, we work together."
Hearing her concern, Xiao Li scoffed and his tone relaxed.
"If it's about this, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry at all."
"Although we are all called company commanders, there are differences between company commanders. He is seven or eight years older than our company commander, but his military rank is the same."
"And their positions are different too. His position as company commander is just a nominal one, with no real power. But our company commander is different, with so many people under him."
"That guy is just a idiot, a bully who only cares about the strong and the weak. He wouldn't dare to cause trouble for your family even if he had the guts."
Xu Miaomiao heard him talking about Chen Chen, his tone full of pride, and asked with interest.
"Is your company commander so powerful? It turns out not all company commanders are the same!"
When talking about his company commander, Xiao Li knew everything about him, and it would take him three days and three nights to finish talking about him.
"That's right. Don't be fooled by our company commander's gentle and polite appearance. He is actually very decisive and ruthless when carrying out his missions."
"And he's very skilled. Since his third year in the army, he's been the champion of all our military competitions."
Xu Miaomiao was very familiar with Chen Chen, who was a master strategist in the business world in his previous life, but she was not very familiar with this Chen Chen in the military camp.
So when Xiao Li talked about his past glory, he listened with great interest.
One of them was talking with great enthusiasm, and the other was listening with fascination. On the way back, they didn't feel sleepy at all.
Xiao Li drove the person to the door and drove back without getting out of the car.
When Xu Miaomiao came back, the two children were already sleeping in their quilts with rosy faces.
Because she hadn't come back yet, Chen Chen sat at the head of the bed, reading a book and waiting for her.
Xu Miaomiao first changed her clothes. She had just been to the hospital, where there were a lot of germs, and she was afraid of bringing them to the child.
She changed into home clothes and came back. She first glanced at the children who were sleeping soundly, then bent down and gently touched their foreheads.
Then he stood up and looked at Chenchen, and bent down to give him a long and light kiss on the forehead. This kiss was without any desire.
Chen Chen felt that something was wrong with her mood, so he threw the book on the bedside table, took her hand, and let her lie down on the bed.
She obediently went to bed and nestled in the man's arms, feeling that as long as she was with this man, the wind and rain outside could not reach her.
Chen Chen hugged her, patted her back gently, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Maybe it was because she saw Huang Linlin that she remembered herself in her previous life for the first time in a long time.
He was locked up, humiliated, and beaten, but had no one to turn to for help and couldn't even die.
At this time, Chen Chen appeared and saved her, like a god descending from the sky. From then on, her heart was with him.
She shrank into his arms with a feeling of grievance and attachment, and her voice came out muffled from the gap between their bodies.
"It's okay, I just thought, it's great to meet you, it would be even better if I could meet you earlier."
Chen Chen thought she was a little scared after seeing Huang Linlin's expression, so he stroked her back with both hands, silently comforting her.
Perhaps because she remembered things from her previous life, Xu Miaomiao had nightmares all night.
Chen Chen was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night. The next day he simply took a leave and stayed at home.
