Before Lin Ying could refuse, she heard a familiar voice coming from behind: "You old black slut! You're a real thief! From now on, don't call yourself Old Black Slut, just call yourself Cuttlefish. Anyway, you have so many claws, you've even reached into our Northeast Military Region to bail people out!"
As he spoke, Shanyubang walked up to the group.
Upon hearing Shan Yubang's voice, Wu Jie knew that the old man's arrival would definitely ruin his plans, so he said to him irritably, "Why aren't you staying in your Northeast Military Region? What are you doing in the Southwest?"
Shan Yubang said matter-of-factly, "If I hadn't come, you octopus would have snatched away our capable people from the Northeast. I'm not trying to criticize you, Wu Laohei, but instead of looking at the food in other people's pots, you should look at the rice in your own bowl. You don't even know if there's rat droppings mixed in. You're really something."
Wu Jie's face darkened. He looked at Zhao Qinghuai, his eyes seeming to say, "Did you snitch, kid?"
Lin Ying, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "I'm sorry, I was the one who spoke to Commander Shan. Qinghuai does trust Commander Wu, but I only trust Commander Shan. Given the circumstances at the time, I didn't want to gamble with the child's life."
Zhao Qinghuai chimed in, "I was there too. After all, I belong to the Northeast Military Region, and this mission was assigned by my superiors. It's not a problem for me to report to them, right?"
Wu Jie stopped pursuing the issue and instead asked, "Let's put that aside and talk about Comrade Lin Ying. As far as I know, she's not from your Northeast Military Region. Where she goes is her own business. Right, Comrade Lin Ying?"
Lin Ying smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Commander Wu, but I'm not thinking about work until Liu Zi starts junior high. In my heart, they are more important than work." If this mission had been completed smoothly without any problems, instead of being stuck inside for these past few days, she might have listened to what Wu Jie said. But she wouldn't now.
She wasn't as righteous and awe-inspiring as Zhao Qinghuai, perhaps because of her upbringing; in her heart, the country wasn't as important as her children.
She respected Zhao Qinghuai's choice and supported his dedication to the country and its people. However, she couldn't bear to abandon her child to contribute to the nation.
Lin Ying knew very well that although the country was facing many difficulties, it was not insurmountable. But without her, the children's family would fall apart.
Moreover, in Lin Ying's view, the Five Elements theory was a hobby even less important than carpentry; her true nature had always been that of a doctor. Her family also ran a clinic, and she preferred being a rural doctor in her small family clinic in Northeast China to her job in the Southwest Military Region.
Wu Jie was about to say something when Shan Yubang interrupted him, saying, "Comrade Lin Ying has jobs over there, three jobs in fact. Once she's enlisted in the military, she'll have to give up those jobs. You're going to give her a monthly salary of three hundred yuan?"
Lin Ying quickly replied, "No, only two hundred."
Shanyu Bang said, "How can it be two hundred? If you come here to work, wouldn't you get an extra salary? With your abilities, you'd be at least at level nine or above, so it would be three hundred in total!"
Wu Jie opened his mouth, but his current salary was less than two hundred.
Knowing he couldn't keep her, Wu Jie didn't press the matter: "In that case, if I need anything in the future, I hope Comrade Lin Ying will not hesitate to offer her her guidance."
Lin Ying agreed: "Please feel free to contact me if you need anything. I will definitely not refuse if it is within my power."
Shan Yubang chimed in, "Forget about later, let's settle the rewards for this mission first! Comrade Lin Ying came all the way from the Northeast. Add to that two bodyguards and four escorts. You should at least factor in all the expenses for her food, clothing, and other necessities along the way, right?"
Wu Jie glared at Shan Yubang. So the two tigers became bodyguards and the child became the escort?
Goodness, he really dares to say that.
Shan Yubang, however, didn't care: "Hurry up, everyone knows how much stuff you took out of there. Besides, this is the Lin family's secret treasure. If Lin Ying hadn't taken you in, you would have all perished. In the end, this is what Comrade Lin Ying unconditionally donated to the country."
The deserved honors and rewards should not be omitted.
With Shanyu Bang keeping an eye on things, Wu Jie naturally couldn't be stingy. In the end, he gave 200 yuan and 50 jin of national grain coupons as travel expenses for the trip, as well as a reward for his two sons and four children.
Lin Ying, on the other hand, received two thousand yuan and fifty jin of national grain coupons as a reward. Of course, a certificate of honor was also awarded.
Now, not only Lin Ying, but even the two tigers got their certificates of honor. All four children also received an award certificate.
They saved Zhao Qinghuai, found Haoyu's father, Zhao Qinghuai received the inheritance, Lin Ying received honor and reward, and most importantly, she obtained the Five Elements Space.
So Lin Ying made a fortune on this trip.
With everything settled, Lin Ying assumed Hao Yu would leave with Gu Lang. However, to her surprise, Gu Lang came to find her, but only to bring her money.
“Now I’m all alone and always away on missions, so I can’t take care of my child. Besides, I can tell that my child is very dependent on his younger siblings. Since he’s small, I’ve asked his younger siblings to take care of him.”
Lin Ying looked at Haoyu, who was looking at her expectantly, and smiled at him: "Okay. Qinghuai and I had already discussed it, but since the situation is still unclear, Haoyu will continue to be called Haoyu for now. Once everything is better, we'll let Haoyu change his name back to his own. You're doing something important, so don't worry about leaving the child with me."
Hearing Lin Ying say that, Haoyu was finally happy.
Lin Ying accepted the money Gu Lang offered without hesitation.
Seeing that she had accepted the money, Gu Lang felt much more relaxed: "Then thank you, sister-in-law."
Lin Ying didn't plan to spend the money; instead, she intended to save it separately for Haoyu. According to Mozi's memory, the country would open up trade in the 1980s, and the future would be when they would truly need the money. Regardless of what Haoyu did as a reward, at least they would have this money.
