"Qingsong, you know, Yanchen is usually good at handling things, but sometimes his brain just doesn't work properly, and he can't judge the situation at all. It's one thing to make a mistake in the army and be sent to the countryside, but when he got there he even found a daughter of a 'black five categories' (a derogatory term for women from certain ethnic groups). Isn't marrying the daughter of a 'black five categories' just bringing shame to us? I'm doing well at the factory, and I don't want to be dragged down by that bastard."
And you, do you think he'll drag you down with him finding a wife like that? I reckon our whole family will suffer because of him. What's infuriating is that my parents actually approve of them being together, and my older sister doesn't object either, saying she supports whatever decision her younger brother makes. I think she's just confused and can't see anything clearly.
I wrote Yanchen a letter telling him to break off all contact with that woman, but he didn't even reply. I suspect they're still together. It's infuriating!
Her mouth was like a machine gun, rattling off a long string of words, her face full of anger.
Song Qingsong stared blankly for a while after hearing this. Xue Ningnan, puzzled by his reaction, reached out and pushed him.
"What are you staring at? I told you, and you don't want to say anything at all. What's your opinion on this? Also, help me think of a way to prevent them from being together. My parents are both retired from the military, but they have a clean record. Plus, with their past background, I benefited a bit from that in the garment factory."
"I'm going to get promoted in the future, and you'll definitely need to get promoted in the military too. We can't let the daughter of a 'black five categories' (a term referring to people from certain ethnic backgrounds or groups considered undesirable) affect our careers."
After she finished speaking, Song Qingsong still didn't say anything, but his expression grew worse and worse.
Seeing that he hadn't said anything, Xue Ningnan got angry: "Song Qingsong, are you mute? This concerns your future, don't you care at all?"
After a while, Song Qingsong finally spoke:
"How could I not care about my future? But judging from your words, there's something you don't know."
"What's up?"
“Yan Chen has already returned to the army. If Yan Chen hadn’t returned, I wouldn’t think there would be a big problem with the two of them being together. Now that Yan Chen has returned, if he marries the daughter of Wu Hei, it will not only affect us, but it will also have a greater impact on himself.”
"What? Yanchen went back to the army again?" Xue Ningnan was half happy and half worried. "He went back to the army? How come I didn't know? Tell me quickly, when did this happen? Didn't he retire? Why did he go back?"
"Yan Chen and Zhao Jun went on a mission. Because the mission was strictly confidential, it was not made public. On the surface, it looked like they made a mistake and were discharged from the army, but in fact, it was to help them hide their identities."
"So that's how it is. Yanchen didn't actually leave the army. I thought that was the end of his life, that he'd be stuck doing farm work in the countryside forever. If that's the case, he's still useful to us. If he goes back to the army, he can help you out to some extent. That's good."
She was happy for a while, then suddenly thought:
"Now that he's back in the army, he should have distanced himself from that 'five black categories' daughter. He has a bright future ahead of him and shouldn't marry a woman who would hinder his career."
"I don't know about that." Song Qingsong recalled the scene when he saw Xue Yanchen after he returned to the army: "Yanchen didn't seem to pay much attention to me this time. I didn't think I had offended him in any way. Maybe he was too tired at the time. Oh well, I won't hold it against him."
Xue Ningnan didn't even think about the letter she had written.
"Qingsong, this is great. He can go back to the army and continue to be an officer, dump that female educated youth, and we won't have to be related to the 'Five Black Categories' anymore. Everyone's happy."
Song Qingsong couldn't understand where Xue Ningnan got her confidence that Xue Yanchen would easily give up on the girl he liked.
Xue Yanchen is known in the army for not being interested in women. He is also a very loyal and responsible person who is serious about everything. How could such a person play with emotions and deceive a young girl?
It's also possible that they both wanted to be partners for a short time.
Of course, since he didn't know Xue Yanchen and Luo Jingyan's plans for their future, he didn't make any judgments in his mind.
Xue Ningnan said, "I haven't heard from my parents about Yanchen returning to the army. They probably don't know about this yet. I need to tell them as soon as possible. I also need to urge them to arrange a good marriage for Yanchen. After all, my dad has two or three good comrades whose families have daughters of marriageable age."
Previously, some people had come to propose marriage in person, but Yan Chen rejected them all on the grounds that he did not want to get married too early. This time, we need to find a way to bring them together.
Oh, by the way, the factory manager's daughter is quite nice. I've wanted to introduce her to Yanchen for a long time, but Yanchen used to be so stubborn and refused to find a partner. Now he's finally seen the light and knows that there are good women out there, so I'm going to introduce her to him right away.
I'll go talk to my mom tomorrow and introduce her to Yanchen. I'll ask Yanchen to come back from the army in a few days so they can meet. If they get together, I'll be the older sister of the garment factory manager's daughter, and a promotion and raise will be just around the corner. Our family and their family are a good match, a powerful alliance, what a great thing!
Actually, she initially worked at a steel factory where Xue's father was the factory manager, but was fired for making a major mistake at work, and later went on to work at a garment factory.
Because of her previous mistakes at the steel mill, she was slow to get promoted at the garment factory, and it took her four years to finally become the deputy team leader. She wanted to climb the ranks as soon as possible.
Song Qingsong frowned slightly upon hearing her words.
"Although your factory manager's daughter is quite good-looking, I don't think she's a good match for Yanchen."
