Jiang Qiao looked up at Zhou Yu. The dashing young man in military uniform from back then had become a half-old man, and he was no longer the same as before.
Time waits for no one, and the years slip by. Those spirited young men and women of yesteryear have all become old men and women.
To be honest, she had fought alongside this couple back then. Who would have thought that they would become strangers when they met again in this life?
If possible, she really didn't want to expose this couple, who had both contributed to the anti-Japanese war effort back then.
You said she was really reluctant to let her former comrades-in-arms go in.
The problem now is that she recognizes the other person, but the other person doesn't recognize her. Especially now, she has no idea whether these two people are undercover agents left behind.
Thinking of this, her face immediately turned distressed. How should she handle this matter?
Seeing Jiang Qiao's expression, the man hesitated for a moment and said, "Young lady, if you have any questions in the future, you can come and ask us. If it's something you can't talk to your family about, you can tell us. Maybe we can help you."
You're not a child anymore; there are some things you should understand. When you get back, have that man propose to you. Otherwise, don't give him any further attention. Anyone who gets you pregnant and then doesn't care about you is no good.
Shen Ruifang came out with the medicine packet. "If she had known, none of this would have happened. Little girl, remember, if you feel unwell, come find us right away."
Jiang Qiao glanced at Shen Ruifang, sighed, and then nodded, "Well, I'll be going now. I'll come back if anything comes up."
Once outside the gate, Jiang Qiao was finally able to catch her breath. Acting was tiring work, so she quickly left the place with her medicine bag.
She found a secluded spot and checked it. It really was an abortion pill. She was really puzzled. The couple seemed like kind-hearted people, but what did they mean by being here? Were they undercover agents, or had they already left the organization?
Jiang Qiao really couldn't judge this for the time being. She sincerely hoped that the couple had already given up their criminal activities, but thinking about the assassin and how she almost lost her life in that instant, her heart was so conflicted that it was almost knotted.
Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and she doesn't want to be that kind of person. Those two old friends from her past life, whether they are or not, she has to treat them as opponents for the time being.
Having figured it out, I quickly moved to another location and continued with the next task.
Meanwhile, the couple in the courtyard were also talking about Jiang Qiao.
"Tell me, kids these days are just outrageous. How old are they, and they already have kids? How did their parents raise them? If it were my daughter, I'd skin them alive."
Zhou Yu said slowly and deliberately, "Why are you angry? It's not our child. Besides, we don't even know if that girl is pregnant."
Shen Ruifang looked at her husband in surprise, "Is this alright? Will anyone die?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "The medicine you took won't kill anyone; at most, it will improve blood circulation. Sigh, it's a tragedy that a dignified Western medicine doctor like me is impersonating a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."
Shen Ruifang rolled her eyes at her husband. "Sad? You should be secretly happy. Compared to those who have died, every day we have is stolen."
Sigh, if we had to say, we should thank Jiang Qiao. If we hadn't seen what happened to her, do you think we could have made this decision?
Speaking of which, I really miss Jiang Qiao. Back then, when I went out for training with her, I received a lot of care from her.
That foreign instructor was a jerk. He bullied our people relentlessly, and we couldn't even communicate. I really suffered a lot back then. Luckily, I had Jiang Qiao. That girl is amazing. In the end, she managed to get that foreign instructor completely under her thumb. He even consulted with her about things.
In the blink of an eye, many years have passed, and even now I can't find a suitable conversation partner.
Speaking of Jiang Qiao, Zhou Yu certainly remembered her. That girl always had a smiling face and was very kind to everyone. But you just couldn't mess with her, otherwise, she would act like a cat with its fur standing on end and leave you speechless.
"Sigh, that's right. Such a vibrant life was just gone like that, and we still don't know who the murderer is. Even now, I suspect that it was most likely done by someone on our side. Who do you think would target Jiang Qiao?"
You said this person rushed back without any problems, so how come he disappeared when he got to his own territory?
Especially that place; Jiang Qiao wouldn't have gone there at all if it weren't for someone she knew well. Otherwise, she wouldn't have lost her life for nothing, losing even the intelligence. Who do you think could be the traitor?
Zhou Yu sighed, his expression turning serious. "This is really hard to say. We've been pondering this for so many years, but we still can't figure it out. We may have suspicions, but we have no evidence."
Forget it, don't think too much about it. You've already gotten out of there. What, do you want to have anything to do with them again? I won't allow that. You've already died once, you can't risk your life again.
It hasn't been easy for the two of us to get to where we are today. Let's just be companions and support each other until we grow old. Let's not ask for anything more.
Shen Ruifang pondered for a while, then suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Honey, do you think there's something wrong with that girl who came earlier? Logically speaking, a young girl that age shouldn't have the guts to come to see a doctor by herself. She should at least have someone with her. Tsk, why do I feel like this girl has a bit of Jiang Qiao's shadow on her?"
That girl was like that back then, always ready to laugh, scold, or even get angry.
Zhou Yu pulled his wife's hand and patted it, "You're really getting senile. Jiang Qiao has been dead for so many years, and we buried her ourselves. How come you can't even tell? You're really quite the thinker."
Shen Ruifang said somewhat stubbornly, "Really, I'm not lying to you. I really had that feeling. If it weren't for the age difference, I would have really thought it was Jiang Qiao."
"By the way, what are your plans regarding that woman?"
Zhou Yu snorted, "Just ignore her. Who cares? Who is she? We don't know her. Let her try to test us if she wants. We're just ordinary people. If we're willing to spend money on medical treatment, and someone gives us money, we'll accept it."
Shen Ruifang sighed, "This matter doesn't seem so simple. It's unlikely that they could find us without some basis. Anyway, I don't want to get on their side again."
That night, I went to burn some paper money for Jiang Qiao. I had a feeling of unease in my heart. Maybe that girl was out of money and sent a young girl to disturb my peace of mind.
Tomorrow, I'm going to take a stroll in the mountains. I'm getting so tired of eating the same cabbage, radishes, and pickled vegetables every day.
By the way, shouldn't you let that child leave? It's not that I, as his aunt, am intolerant, but the situation is a bit special now. Those people have come to our door, and if something happens, this child will become their tool to threaten us.
You've taught them almost everything you needed to. Now that you're back, at least you can work as a barefoot doctor in the countryside, and getting a household registration shouldn't be a problem.
