Chapter 837: Chapter 877: Why Are You So Happy

Sheng An loves to think about what the future will be like. When Sheng Lao San asked, she squinted her eyes, looked up at the blue sky, and said yearnfully: “I want to go to university. I heard from my sister that there are night schools in the city. When I get to the city, I can first attend a night school, then take the college entrance exam. It’s not too late for me to go to university at my age! I must learn how to make money at school, earn lots and lots of money, and bring you and mom to live in the city.”

“It’s my fault for not being able to support your studies.”

“Dad, what are you talking about? In our village, Sis and I have studied the longest. The boys from other families can’t compare with Sis and me. Look at Xu Laodi — she’s the village chief’s daughter — she only graduated from elementary school, right?” Sheng An never complained about her family. She was a stepchild brought into the family by her mom, but her dad never disliked her; she knew all this.

“Here’s the plan! If your mom doesn’t agree, I will secretly send you to the city.” Sheng Lao San decided firmly. An’an is a good child, smart and hard-working; she shouldn’t just marry someone in the countryside casually.

Though Qi Lei, that young man, is nice, without any skills of her own, An’an would still be looked down upon in town. Since Ningning is willing to help her younger sister, he must push her forward from behind.

“Really?” Sheng An’s eyes lit up, and she took off her straw hat, looking at him in surprise.

“Yes! Shh… Speak softly, don’t let your mom find out, she would be really upset.”

Sheng An quickly covered her mouth, “Okay, okay, I won’t say. Dad, you’re so good to me; I want to buy lots and lots of wine for you.”

Sheng Lasan laughed heartily, “Hahaha… alright, alright.”

“But Dad, we have never been to the rescue team where my sister and brother-in-law are. How do we find them?” That’s what’s been holding her back; otherwise, she would have sneaked away.

“That’s simple. Your brother-in-law is the Captain of the War Wolf Rescue Team, just ask around and they’ll know. By then, I’ll go to the county office and get them to write you a letter of introduction. Someone at the county office is very close with Ningning’s uncle, they will surely help.”

“Yes, yes… a letter of introduction.” Only then did Sheng An realize, without a letter of introduction, she couldn’t go anywhere.

Shen Luhua saw the two whispering, her intuition told her something was up. “What are you two talking about?”

“Nothing.” Sheng Lao San stood up with a hoe, ready to continue working, when Xu Xianxiong’s voice came from the other end of the field ridge.

“In-law, in-law…” Xu Xianxiong strode swiftly, reaching Sheng Lao San in a few steps. “In-law, Ningning just called to say Qigang is injured.”

“Are you joking?” Sheng Lao San clearly didn’t believe it. “Your son is injured, have you ever seen a father so happy?”

Sheng An stood beside him, feeling quite sympathetic towards her brother-in-law.

“Uh… injuries heal in a few days! Previously, getting injured in the Southern Border War was quite common.”

Father and daughter both cast disdainful looks, even Shen Luhua couldn’t bear to look anymore as she walked over.

“In-law, how is Qigang’s injury? Has he recovered? Being a Captain is really not easy.” Shen Luhua sighed deeply.

“Captain?”

“Captain?”

“Captain?”

The three of them looked at Shen Luhua in unison.

“How do you know he’s a Captain?”

Shen Luhua awkwardly touched her hair, “My son-in-law is so capable, of course he’s a Captain! By the way, Qigang got injured, how’s Ningning?”
