"You stay home and rest. As for the disaster relief, I'll figure something out."
Gu Pingwei didn't want Jiang Jingxue to be in danger.
Even if it meant risking his own life, he didn't want her to be in any danger.
However, Jiang Jingxue did not want to give up so easily.
"Gu Pingwei, I do know a little about medicine. There's a cholera outbreak over there, and they need someone with medical knowledge like me to be there. Have someone prepare medicine and supplies, and I'll head over right away."
"Jingxue".
Gu Pingwei's voice was hoarse as he called her name.
"Cholera is highly contagious, and even if you take the best protective measures, there is still a risk of infection."
“Gu Pingwei, you are a soldier, and I am your fiancée, and at the very least, a future military wife. I am practically a soldier myself. How can I back down at a time like this? You surely understand the principle of sacrificing the small family for the greater good, don’t you?”
Jiang Jingxue's explanation left Gu Pingwei somewhat speechless.
Yes, he is a soldier.
No matter how dangerous the mission was, he would rush forward without hesitation.
Now, however, he felt a pang of attachment and couldn't bear to let her go on her own adventure.
This really goes against his original intention of becoming a soldier.
After considering it for a long time, Gu Pingwei finally nodded and agreed to let Jiang Jingxue participate in the disaster relief.
However, he had a condition.
"I must go with you!"
"You're not fully recovered yet, so why don't you go? Besides, aren't you supposed to be overseeing the reconstruction of the small fishing village?"
"Jiang! Jing! Xue!"
As soon as Jiang Jingxue finished speaking, Gu Pingwei grabbed her arm.
His face was serious, and he seemed somewhat displeased.
Jiang Jingxue was a little confused; what was he angry about?
But Gu Pingwei said, word by word, "I am not only a soldier, but also a man!"
When danger arises, he expects her, a woman, to take the lead while he hides in the background enjoying a leisurely life? What kind of man is he then?
Hearing the firmness in Gu Pingwei's tone, Jiang Jingxue stopped arguing and could only nod.
"Alright then, let's go together."
Gu Pingwei quickly contacted his father, Gu Xinguo, and entrusted him with the task of rebuilding the small fishing village.
When Gu Xinguo heard that Gu Pingwei and Jiang Jingxue were going to the front line to participate in disaster relief, his feelings were very complicated.
She felt both heartache and relief for her son and daughter-in-law.
My son is worthy of his military uniform; he is a good man.
What surprised him even more was his daughter-in-law, who was also a remarkable woman with a heart for the world.
Gu Xinguo patted Gu Pingwei on the shoulder.
"Take good care of yourself, and especially protect your wife!"
Gu Pingwei saluted Gu Xinguo.
"yes!"
After leaving Gu Xinguo's office, Gu Pingwei and Jiang Jingxue rushed to the disaster area.
at this time.
Jiang Zhizhi returned to her bedroom with a look of excitement on her face.
"Mom, I heard that Jiang Jingxue and Gu Pingwei went to participate in the disaster relief efforts!"
"Let her go, what does it have to do with me? She can go wherever she wants."
Yao Guilan complained as she packed her luggage.
She's going back to her hometown today, and that brat Jiang Jingxue really didn't give her a single yuan!
"This isn't just a simple disaster relief operation. I heard there's a cholera outbreak there, and it's incredibly contagious. I'm afraid that bitch Jiang Jingxue might go there alive, but she might not come back alive!"
Jiang Zhizhi crossed her arms, looking smug.
"What? Cholera? What if she dies there?"
Actually, Yao Guilan wasn't concerned about Jiang Jingxue's life or death. She was just afraid that if Jiang Jingxue died, would the Gu family still acknowledge the marriage and her as their in-law? Would she still be able to use the Gu family's connections to rise to prominence?
"Mom, the Gu family is a prestigious family. If Jiang Jingxue really dies because of this, they won't just let it go. They'll definitely have to pay us a huge sum of compensation!"
“If they dare not pay, we’ll publish it in the newspaper and cause trouble! The public’s criticism alone will be enough to kill them. I don’t believe that the Gu family would dare to disregard their own reputation.”
It must be said that Jiang Zhizhi was very thoughtful.
Upon hearing this, Yao Guilan realized that it made sense.
"Zhizhi, you're right!"
"Anyway, Jiang Jingxue has grown up now and doesn't respect me as her mother anymore. It would be better if she really died there, then I could get a large sum of compensation and save myself the trouble of having to put up with her!"
"Mom, Jiang Jingxue overestimated herself by rushing into the crowd of patients. I think she's really facing her death this time. We can just wait to collect the compensation!"
Yao Guilan and Jiang Zhizhi, mother and daughter, have started planning how much money they would exchange for Jiang Jingxue's life.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Yao Guilan and Jiang Zhizhi quickly suppressed their smiles.
The door opened, and standing outside was Qin Liang.
"We should get going."
Yao Guilan and her daughter Jiang Zhizhi didn't dare to stay long, fearing they would miss the train if they were late, so they went out with Qin Liang.
Qin Liang helped them with their luggage and drove them to the train station.
As she got off the bus, Yao Guilan said with an embarrassed smile, "Comrade, did my Jingxue tell you? We left in a hurry and didn't bring that much money with us, this ticket..."
Yao Guilan originally wanted to ask Qin Liang for some money to buy a train ticket.
To their surprise, Qin Liang pulled out two train tickets and handed them to them.
"The Major's wife instructed that the train tickets have been prepared for you."
Yao Guilan took the ticket and looked at Jiang Zhizhi in bewilderment.
That's it? Nothing else?
Qin Liang scratched his head, looking completely unaware.
"Oh, by the way, the major's wife said she wanted me to give you the train tickets."
