“…” Xu Changan’s discharge notice came quickly, and all he could take away were the clothes.
Xu Meili was still in the guesthouse. Fortunately, it was training time and the others were not in the dormitory, so he would not be embarrassed.
Xu Changan originally planned to take his sister back to the countryside, but he didn't know what he would do next.
Su Wanruo's eyes were red from crying, "Changan..."
"Please, stay away from my brother, you evil bastard! My brother is now scheduled to be discharged from the army, and it's all your fault!"
Xu Meili shouted excitedly.
"Meili, go out and wait for me first." He had something to say to Su Wanruo.
Xu Meili turned around indignantly and glared at Su Wanruo warningly.
Su Wanruo pursed her lips and said, "Changan, you don't plan to come back in the future, right?"
"I don't know." Xu Changan's voice was cold and indifferent. "Wanruo, I will help you redeem the bracelet. Thank you for your companionship over the years. I am not worthy of you now. Let's forget about our marriage."
"I won't!" Su Wanruo's tears fell, and she kept shaking her head. "You are so smart and capable. Even if you don't join the army, you can definitely find another job. Can you stay in the city for me? I don't want to be separated from you."
"I have to go back anyway. I'll come back when I've thought it through." Xu Changan raised his hand and patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Remember to take good care of yourself."
Su Wanruo was reluctant to watch Xu Changan leave. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she took out the 50 yuan she had borrowed from her pocket and gave it to Xu Changan.
"Changan, you will definitely need money in the future, so take this money first."
Xu Changan looked down at the money stuffed into his hand and secretly made up his mind that he must break away from the current situation and work hard to make something of himself!
Even if it's for myself, it's more for Wanruo.
On the way back in the car, Xu Changan said to Xu Meili, "Don't tell my parents about pushing me for now."
Xu Meili said "Oh" weakly, "Don't worry, brother, I won't tell you if you don't let me."
"My father is in poor health and needs medicine every month. The only source of income for our family is the salary I get from the army. I can't tell them." Xu Changan said, "Meili, I will help you find a way to go to school!"
"Brother, I'm not going to school anymore." Xu Meili put her hand on Xu Changan's arm and whispered, "I can see that our family is in financial difficulty. I'm not going to school anymore. I want to go out with you to find a job and earn money."
"You're still young. These jobs out there aren't suitable for you. No boss would hire you." Xu Changan smiled casually. "Besides, making money isn't something a little girl like you should do. Don't worry! I'll find a way!"
Xu Meili hesitated to mention Su Wanruo, thinking that it would be better not to upset her brother anymore.
It’s all Su Wanruo’s fault that my brother has become what he is now!

What made Zhao Hongying happiest was that her son came home to visit, and her daughter who had sneaked out just scolded her and didn't settle the score with her!
"Changan, have you been promoted? When you left last time, didn't you say you would be promoted to squad leader when you returned?"
Zhao Hongying looked at her son happily, her eyes full of anticipation.
"I got a promotion." Xu Changan said in a relaxed tone, but there was no joy in his eyes. "Mom, I'm back this time to stay home for a while and spend more time with you and my dad!"
"Okay, okay!" Zhao Hongying nodded repeatedly. It was a good thing that her son was willing to stay at home for a few more days. She said that this marriage was the right one!
Zhao Hongying then seemed to have thought of something and asked tentatively, "Chang'an, how are you and Wanruo doing? When do you plan to bring her back to see me?"
Zhao Hongying was thinking that when the time comes, she must take the reporter's wife around the village to make the man surnamed Li angry to death.
Xu Meili said awkwardly, "Mom, my brother hasn't even started dating her yet!" It's bad luck to mention her!
Zhao Hongying waved her hands in disdain to stop her daughter from speaking. Other people's daughters are caring and sweet, but her daughter is really ignorant!
"What's with that attitude! Su Wanruo will be your new sister-in-law in the future. You'll have a sister-in-law who's a journalist. If you tell others about it, they'll be envious!"
"By the way, forget about your schooling. In our village, people your age would have already started earning money to support their families and would have gotten married in a few years!"
Zhao Hongying said nonchalantly, "If you dare to sneak away again next time, I will break your legs!"
Xu Meili seemed to have changed her personality after going out. She said obediently, "I won't run away anymore. I'll go out and find a job tomorrow."
Zhao Hongying nodded in satisfaction and turned to ask her son, "You two have to hurry and finalize your marriage! Mom is anxious to have a grandson!"
"Mom, Wanruo is busy with work. I'll bring her back when I have time." Xu Changan said perfunctorily, "We have no plans to get married at the moment. Li Qingge and I just divorced, and it wouldn't look good if the news got out."
"Alas, Li Qingge is such a troublemaker!" Even if they were divorced, her son couldn't happily marry. Zhao Hongying nodded in understanding, "Okay, Mom will listen to you."
"Getting engaged and married definitely requires money. Our family's financial situation is not good right now, so I want to save more money!" Xu Changan said calmly.
"That's right! No matter what, Wanruo won't be wronged."
“…” Xu Guoyong heard the conversation between the mother and daughter clearly, and finally felt a little relieved.
The next day, Zhao Hongying told the whole village about her son's promotion to squad leader.
Li Qingdong and Old Man Li had no expression on their faces after hearing this.
"Grandpa, Qingge sent money back. The letter said she's doing well and has joined the art troupe, so we can rest assured!" Li Qingdong said, "This meat was bought with Qingge's salary."
