An Moxue was surprised when she met Commander Yang. She thought that since he was already one of the commander's men, he would be imposing and domineering. However, he turned out to be an ordinary old man. He was not particularly tall or handsome, but his temper was exceptionally good.
Before An Moxue could speak, the other person spoke first: "Young comrade, are you Dr. Lan's daughter, An Moxue?" The other person spoke kindly.
An Moxue nodded and said, "Yes, Commander Yang."
As he spoke, he stood up, saluted An Moxue, and said to her, "Young comrade, I apologize to you. I failed to educate my grandson well, which indirectly caused you to lose your mother. I apologize to you." After saying that, he bowed to An Moxue again.
An Moxue did not move and accepted the bow.
Zhang Jing was at a loss for what to do. After all, this was the commander!
He kept giving her meaningful glances, but she ignored them.
After Commander Yang finished bowing, he saw that An Mo accepted his bow without any expression, but he was no longer as amiable as before.
An Moxue only spoke after he sat down: "Commander Yang, your grandson indirectly caused the death of my mother. Don't you dare to come and apologize to me in person?"
Commander Yang then regained his good temper as he had at the beginning and said, "It's only right that he apologizes to you personally. Guard, go and call Yang Kang over."
Then he said to An Moxue, "Young comrade, don't worry, I will definitely make him apologize to you properly."
"Then I'll wait and see if he's sincere!"
"Young comrade, I heard you're doing quite well in the countryside! Not bad, you truly are a descendant of a hero."
"Of course, they don't even know whose child I am. As the saying goes, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and rats beget rats. What can I do? My parents are so outstanding! It's a pity that we were killed by rats in the gutter!" An Moxue said through gritted teeth.
But Commander Yang still maintained a good-natured demeanor.
Zhang Jing remained perfectly invisible, but his heart was pounding with fear. If An Moxue hadn't given him instructions before he came in, he would have spoken up long ago. But he had promised his niece, and he didn't know what her purpose was in doing this, so he could only stand there dumbfounded.
"Young man, you have guts." Commander Yang's words sounded like a compliment, but Zhang Jing found them awkward no matter how he listened.
"Of course, I am the successor to my father and mother. Unlike some people, who may build a great empire, it is useless if there is no one to carry it on. Who knows, one day those unfilial descendants might even destroy the empire! Don't you agree, Commander Yang?"
"You bastard, who gave you the right to talk to my grandfather like that? Don't you know any manners?" A man came in from outside and started scolding An Moxue before even entering the room.
Zhang Jing glanced at the newcomer and said to An Moxue, "This is that grandson."
An Moxue felt like he was swearing at her!
But there's nothing wrong with what he said.
An Moxue looked at the person who came in, stood up, and said, "I can't help it if you're rude! My father and mother are dead, and no one taught me! Besides, my mother told me when she was alive that politeness is for polite people!"
Upon hearing An Moxue's words, Yang Kang raised his hand to slap her, but An Moxue was faster and slapped him back. The sound of "smack" was crisp and pleasant, and An Moxue found it extremely nice.
Five finger marks immediately appeared on his face, and it swelled up.
"You dare hit me?" Yang Kang asked angrily, covering his slapped face.
Then Qi stepped forward, raised his hand to slap An Moxue, but An Moxue slapped him back, this time towards Yang Kang's mouth. No one saw that An Moxue had hidden a small pill in her hand, which went into Yang Kang's stomach at the speed of light. He himself didn't even realize it, because half of his face and mouth had already swelled up.
"Enough! Yang Kang!" Commander Yang shouted.
There was a moment of silence in the room, then An Moxue spoke first, saying, "Is this your sincerity in apologizing? Two slaps to apologize to me?"
"Yang Kang, apologize to the young comrade."
"Wait a minute, I'm not some nobody. I have a name and a surname. Please call me Comrade An." He wanted to use his seniority and position to intimidate me, and see if I would respond.
Yang Kang glared at An Moxue resentfully, but refused to apologize.
An Moxue wasn't in a hurry; she just stared at him, her eyes darting around.
"Apologize," Commander Yang said again, his voice full of authority.
"I'm sorry." The voice was full of reluctance.
An Moxue said, "Commander Yang, if this is your grandson's attitude, then I think we should just let it go! It's a pity that you, sir, didn't appreciate it. It's like a bad bamboo shoot growing out of a good one. I feel sorry for you for three seconds."
"Yang Kang, apologize," Commander Yang said calmly.
This time, Yang Kang bowed respectfully and said to An Moxue, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I apologize to you."
"I accept your apology, but I don't forgive you. Remember, you bear the weight of two lives. I wish you a lifetime of peace and happiness, and many children and grandchildren." None of them were your children.
"You!" Yang Kang wanted to retort, but was stopped by a look from Commander Yang and didn't say anything more.
Commander Yang said, "Comrade An, I agree with your offer of monetary compensation, but 20,000 yuan is too much. We can't afford it. Do you think we can reduce it a bit?"
"Commander Yang felt that the life of my mother, such an excellent doctor, was not worth a mere 20,000 yuan."
"No, it's worth it. But it's true that we don't have that much money."
"How much can you afford?"
"Five thousand."
"Never mind then, I'll just go back!"
"Ten thousand, that's the most I can do."
"Fine. Give me the money! Let's call it even."
"But you have to write a letter of forgiveness."
"Okay, then you have to give me a receipt for 10,000 yuan to prove that this money is compensation to me."
"OK."
The guard brought paper and pen, and An Moxue readily wrote a letter of forgiveness. Commander Yang also wrote a statement. An Moxue looked at it, found nothing wrong with it, and put it away.
He left the house with the ten thousand yuan given to him by Commander Yang. Outside the house, he saw a very pretty woman who looked pitiful.
When the woman saw An Moxue come out, she stopped her, bent down, and said to her, "I'm sorry."
An Moxue glanced at her and said, "You didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of you."
An Moxue patted her face and snorted coldly, "Why? The other person died, indirectly taking two lives, while you're still living so well."
This medicine is your punishment. It's one thing to grow old alone, but if you get married and have marital relations, it will surely make you experience both ecstasy and unbearable pain.
If he truly repented, he should have taken action when the military uncovered the truth, instead of being summoned here by himself, offering a half-hearted apology like a fake gorilla.
I am grateful to our ancestors for leaving me so many wonderful and unusual medicinal prescriptions.
