Chapter 493: Late Charity

Father Xu knew that if he didn't make things clear today, his daughter would cause chaos in the family: "Tell me what you are going to do."

Xu's mother panicked: "Why do you let a little girl make the decision?"

"You are her father." Xu's mother wanted to say something, but Xu's father scolded her: "Shut up! If you say one more word while I'm talking, I'll beat you up."

Xu's mother was so frightened that she hid aside, not daring to say anything.

When Xu Mingzhen saw this scene, she felt that her father was hypocritical. They had lived under the same roof for many years. Could it be that her father really didn't know how her mother treated her and her sister?

No, he knew, but his mother's actions did not harm his father's interests, so his father never thought much about it.

Besides, daughters belong to other families, and fathers should just think about marrying them off. There is no need to pamper them too much.

Just let your mother do whatever she wants.

A person who habitually pretends to be blind and now stops pretending is probably because he has been forced into a corner.

Xu Mingzhen knew how to control this couple, and before leaving, she wanted to teach her sister these things and not let her be controlled by others.

On the contrary, we need to control this family.

Thinking of this, she no longer felt confused about the future, and even looked forward to the unknown future.

That was something she had never dared to think about before.

Xu Mingzhen said: "I want to join the army."

Father Xu frowned: "You, a girl, are going to join the army? Do you understand what life and death mean?"

"You are not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of it?" Xu Mingzhen is more willing to risk her life than when she went to high school. Now it concerns her future, and she has no other way to go except this.

I couldn't last long if I saved the little money I had and took my sister out with me.

Therefore, only by forcing them to compromise can he and his sister have a chance to survive.

Father Xu was so angry at his daughter's words. She said that if he was not afraid of death, then she would be even less afraid of death.

Who are you looking down on?

"You have to understand that the Beijing Military District is not recruiting soldiers now." Even if it were to recruit soldiers, it would not be easy to get in.

"Your elder brother can't stay in Beijing. If you want to join the army, you can only go to the northwest, northeast, or to a military district thousands of miles away. You can't stay in Beijing."

Xu Mingzhen smiled faintly: "I have never thought about staying in Beijing. I wish I could be far away from you guys."

Xu's mother was so angry that she stood up and was about to attack Xu Mingzhen, but she was not flustered. She looked at Xu's mother and said, "Go ahead and hit me. Hit me wherever you want. I will go to the political commissar and my father's leader in this state."

Xu's mother's raised hand fell down instantly. After hearing this, she really didn't dare to hit this lawless little girl.

"What are you doing in a military camp as a girl? With a bunch of people."

Before he could finish his words, Father Xu shouted, "Go back to your room! I don't want to see you now."

"If you say one more word, pack your bags and go back home."

Fortunately, this mouth can only speak at home. It becomes mute outside. Otherwise, I don’t know how much trouble this guy will cause me.

Thinking of this, he sighed: "Have you made up your mind? Do you really want to join the army?"

"Actually, I can try to help you find a job nearby."

Xu Mingzhen shook her head: "I've made up my mind. I'm going to the northwest."

She doesn't want belated charity.

She wanted to prove to her father who looked down on his daughter that she was better than her eldest brother and two younger brothers.

She also reminded her sister to study hard, saying that only by being well-educated and well-mannered and seeing the world outside of home could she know what path she would take in the future.

Xu Mingzhen didn't want to be a woman like her mother. As a mother, she only showed off her power in front of her two daughters. No matter who she met outside, she didn't dare to say anything nonsense.

Shen Tian often said that her mother was a domineering person.

That's true.

Father Xu was silent for a long time: "I don't have the ability to send you to the Northwest Army Camp. What I can do is not to object to your enlistment."

He didn't believe that Xu Mingzhen could join the army smoothly without his help?

Thinking of this, Father Xu became calmer.

Xu Mingzhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just want you not to interfere with any of my decisions."

She stood up and took her thirteen-year-old sister away. Before leaving, she said, "I never counted on you."

"I knew from a very young age that you were not a father I could rely on."

So when someone bullied her as a child, she would beat them back.

Never go home to complain.

As you fight, your skills get better, and as you run, your physical strength gets better.

Xu Mingzhen and her sister lived in a small room at home. There was only enough space for a 1.2-meter bed and a thin person to pass through. If they gained a little weight, they would be able to kiss the wall when they turned around.

Xu Mingzhen began to teach her sister little by little how to survive in this family.

Xu Minghong is a very smart child, but she doesn't talk much. Today, she witnessed with her own eyes how her sister turned the tables and controlled her parents.

She looked at her sister: "I know how to do it."

"Sister, you can join the army with peace of mind. I will definitely take good care of myself." In the past, my sister was the one who stood at the front to protect me from the wind and rain. In the future, she will be able to do it herself.

Xu Minghong secretly thought to herself that she had to stand on her own feet and not become a burden to her sister.

"I will study hard and won't let you down."

Xu Mingzhen smiled and hugged her sister: "Study hard, don't worry about not having money to study. When you find an opportunity to join the army, you will get an allowance."

Xu Minghong hummed: "Sister, if you meet a good family, you don't have to worry about me. You must seize your own happiness."

"Just don't find a man like Dad."

It would be better for them not to have a father.

What is a man like this doing here?

Xu Mingzhen nodded: "Of course, if I can't find a good man, I won't get married."

After she finished speaking, she rubbed her sister's head and said, "Go to sleep quickly."

The next morning, Xu Mingzhen went to find Yu Wanqing and told her how she had resolved the matter.

"Sister Yu, if I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have the courage to give it my all." Xu Mingzhen looked at Yu Wanqing: "I want to go to the northwest."

"It's useless for you to go now. If we don't recruit soldiers now, you won't be able to join the army even if you go to the northwest." Yu Wanqing said, "If you believe in me, why don't you help me with something during this time?"

"If there is an opportunity in the northwest, I will recommend you there again." This situation does exist, but the chance is very slim.

Moreover, those who are specially approved by the army to join the army must have strong personal abilities.

Back then, she entered the Nanping Military Region with special approval.

Although it is a bit difficult for Xu Mingzhen to build up her image due to her age, it is not impossible.

"Can I?" Xu Mingzhen didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise today: "Can I really help you?"

"I can do anything."

She just wanted to share this good news with Sister Yu today, but she didn't expect Sister Yu to give her another good news.
