Chapter 224 Go Back

They had a good night's sleep.

After getting up in the morning, we packed our things together and then took the army vehicle to the dock.

No one came to see me off. I told them last night that no one should come and they would be back soon.

Standing at the pier.

Zhao Yue couldn't help but think of his injured leg. He ran out of the hospital.

"The last time I came to the dock to pick you up, the doctor scolded me. I still remember it clearly!"

"What did he scold you for?"

"He told me who was at the dock?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Then I said my wife was here."

"You're amazing! Hahahaha!"

"He then stopped talking and had a sour face whenever he saw me. I guess I irritated him. After a few days, my leg healed and he turned his attention to my leg. After the examination, nothing was found and he couldn't stop me from being discharged from the hospital."

"Then this doctor must have remembered you."

"That's about right! It's definitely a very memorable experience, and I think I won't be able to forget it for years."

The ship docked.

Captain Wu saw them standing on the shore. He got off the boat and walked over to them.

"What a coincidence! Someone swapped shifts with me. Otherwise, if I wasn't on duty today, I wouldn't have met you two."

Zhao Yue, "That's quite a coincidence."

"Yes, I saw that the weather was good, otherwise I would not have agreed. Today is my wife's birthday and she came to me for help. I have no choice. Before, when I wanted to take a leave, she took my place. I had to let her down. I will celebrate with her in the evening, otherwise I should be out buying groceries now!" Captain Wu said a lot with a smile.

When Su Jinxia heard that it was Captain Wu’s wife’s birthday, she knew it and couldn’t pretend not to know.

So she took out a bottle of homemade face cream from her bag, which was in a small porcelain bottle.

"This is my homemade face cream. I'm going to give it back to my aunt."

"I was just saying it casually. How can I have the nerve to accept your stuff?" Captain Wu looked at the white porcelain bottle. There wasn't much stuff in it, but he felt it must be something valuable.

"It's not worth the money. I mixed it myself to suit the climate here." Su Jinxia pressed the bottle into the captain's hand. "Auntie, if it works well, you can ask me for more."

"Then I'd better obey your command and go back to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha." Captain Wu took the things with a smile.

Su Jinxia looked up and saw that the last person to get off the boat was Li Haixia. Her head was wrapped in gauze and there were bruises at the corners of her mouth.

"You guys chat, I'll go over there."

I walked over a few steps and saw from close range that the wound on her face was quite serious.

"Haixia, how did you get hurt?"

Li Haixia looked at Su Jinxia and all the grievances surged into her heart and she started crying. She didn't cry when she was beaten by her parents.

“Xia Xia!”

"What's going on?"

"My family arranged a marriage for me. They wanted to marry me off just because the bride price was high, equal to the money I had earned for several years. When I refused, they beat me.

I ran away secretly, otherwise I would have been married by now."

"That's too much. Didn't you say before that they were very nice to you?"

"I thought so too, but in the end, I became less important in the face of interests. They say that girls will get married sooner or later. Now that I meet such a good family, I will marry as soon as possible. In the future, if the conditions are good, I can I told my parents that I could make money by working part-time. They calculated an account for me. I couldn’t make that much money even if I worked for three years, so they could get the money in advance.

I wasn’t going to be given any dowry, I was just asked to bring a few sets of clothes with me when I got married.”

"That's too much! It's like selling you out." Su Jinxia hugged her and comforted her.

"Well, it's all over."

"I ran away secretly. They might chase me here. If that happens, I don't know what to do."

"Well, I'll give you the key to our house. If they come looking for us, you go to the army and find Bai Yang and ask him to take you to where we live." Su Jinxia took the key out of her bag.

"Is this okay?" Li Haixia looked at the key but didn't take it.

Su Jinxia stuffed it directly into her hands, "This is the only solution. They dare not cause trouble in the army. If they do, they will be detained. Wait for me to come back and I will help you solve it."

"How to solve it?" Li Haixia asked in confusion.

"Break up the relationship! Spend money to buy it, and then you will be at peace."

"Well, if we can buy it off, we'll buy it off completely."

Su Jinxia brushed the hair around Li Haixia's ears and said, "Be good and wait for me to come back!"

"Yes." Li Haixia opened her arms and hugged him again, "Xia Xia, you are my lucky star. After meeting you, no matter how difficult the situation is, it can be turned into a safe situation."

At this moment, I suddenly thought, are they married? Otherwise, how can they have a house in the army?

So he let go of her hand and asked, "Xia Xia, are you married?"

Su Jinxia nodded, "Yes, the wedding has been completed."

Li Haixia was anxious, "I missed your wedding!"

Su Jinxia quickly comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, as long as your heart is there."

Li Haixia hated herself for believing the telegram from home meant something had happened. If she hadn't gone back, she wouldn't have missed it.

“It’s so sad to miss it.”

"Well, don't be sad. No one expected this to happen."

"Xia Xia, you are so kind to me. I don't know how to repay you."

"I'll let you repay me someday. I'm going to get on board now."

Li Haixia nodded, and then let go of her hand.

I watched them get on the boat and waved goodbye to them vigorously.

Soon the ship sailed away and Su Jinxia returned to the cabin.

Captain Wu found them with beer and peanuts.

"I can drink with you today. Actually, the man asked me to take over. It's just a formality. His apprentice can drive the boat, so I am happy to do it."

When the beer was opened and poured into the glass, foam immediately appeared.

They each picked up their cups, clinked them together, and took a sip.

Su Jinxia thought the wine tasted good. She couldn't drink white wine, but she could drink a little beer.

"Zhou Yu has been released. Someone sent me a message saying that he is a dog-skin plaster. He can't be driven away unless he is beaten to death. It's really worrying."

"Didn't I ask you to sue?" Su Jinxia said.

"Well, the court has accepted the case. They can't say the specific verdict, after all, Zhou Yu injured his leg." Captain Wu drank the glass of wine in one gulp. "I have thought about it. If it really doesn't work out, I will retire early and not cause trouble to the organization. Otherwise, normally, I can still work for another 5 years. If I retire early, there will be no trouble."

"Why do you want to retire? Even if you retire, he will still find you if he wants to make trouble." Su Jinxia said in a light tone, "It's better to find a way to prevent him from getting out of there."
