Perhaps influenced by her great-grandmother's genes, Ma Xiangling grew tall and strong. Standing at 195cm tall, this height would have been exceptional, not only here but even in modern times. Her height made it difficult for her to marry. As a result, the locals were reluctant to marry her. They even organized a martial arts competition to find a husband for Qin Liangyu, but no one dared to participate.
Fang Xinyu was about to pack up and leave, as the gunner's training was almost complete. But just then, Qin Liangyu summoned Fang Xinyu for questioning.
"Hello General Qin!" Fang Xinyu said.
"How is the gunner's training going?" Qin Liangyu asked calmly.

Qin Liangyu stared at Fang Xinyu after she finished speaking. Fang Xinyu felt quite stressed facing this nearly 1.9-meter-tall old lady. If he said he didn't want to marry her, he probably wouldn't be able to return to Nanjing!
Fang Xinyu was troubled and thought: Should I marry her or not?
