Chapter 610: Chapter 0610 Sacrifice oneself for others4_1

Feng Qingxue was puzzled and asked how the army had handled the issue with Wang Baozhu.

Although she had only met Wang Baozhu once or twice, Feng Qingxue had nearly seen through her true nature. She was tyrannical and ruthless, always putting herself at the center of everything. Anyone who was unable to outdo her was naturally defeated by her. Ordinary people either avoided her or gave up their rights, which fostered Wang Baozhu’s current personality and tactics. They had come to the army after much difficulty and would they be willing to leave?

Anyway, Feng Qingxue didn’t believe that Wang Baozhu would leave.

"It’s not that she’s leaving, it’s Zhu Rong who is transferring." Guo Xiuying sighed deeply, "Zhu Rong first discussed it with your brother Zhao Yong, then went to see the commander and Colonel Ye, asking to move to a post on a mountain peak, along with his family."

Zhu Rong’s bitter determination, they all understood, and it made them admire him even more.

He didn’t shirk his responsibilities, but took full charge, swearing to stop his wife and child from continuing their wrongdoings, even at the risk of his own future.

Zhu Rong was already a battalion commander, his future was certainly bright.

Surely, a sentry was admirable and respectable - it was a calling in every army, but the prospects absolutely wouldn’t be as good as Zhu Rong’s current position. Furthermore, Zhu Rong was already on the list for the next promotion, it was practically certain.

He gave up this opportunity for promotion just to guide his wife and child towards the right path.

Feng Qingxue was suddenly full of respect. She didn’t expect Zhu Rong to make such a decision. It was really admirable, whether as a soldier, a husband, or a father. He assumed the responsibility he should bear, not choosing to divorce or sever relations because of the shame his wife and daughter brought upon him.

When Lu Jiang returned, Zhao Yong and Guo Xiuying said their goodbyes. Feng Qingxue then said to Lu Jiang, "From what I understood from brother Zhao and sister-in-law, battalion commander Zhu Rong’s transfer is certain, it’s confirmed."

Lu Jiang nodded, "The army has already approved."

"That was quick?"

Lu Jiang gave a bitter smile, "Could it be otherwise? Wang Baozhu gave those like Xiong Dazhuang a real headache. Just as I was coming back, Zhu Rong returned as well. Those four people were complaining to Zhu Rong that they couldn’t control Wang Baozhu, and she almost ran off. In the following days, comrade Zhu Rong will guard his wife and children at home. His work will be handed over to the deputy battalion commander, and meals will be delivered by the soldiers."

"Would Wang Baozhu be willing to leave here with Zhu Rong and settle in the post? Even if she doesn’t understand the situation of the post, she probably wouldn’t agree to leave, right?" Feng Qingxue asked.

"Zhu Rong said to leave the matter to him. He assured everyone that he would take away his wife and children, and also asked us not to disclose the specific conditions of the post to Wang Baozhu and the others. At the same time, he requested the army to provide his wife and children with two sets of equipment suitable for survival at the mountain post - at least clothing, shoes, hat, and gloves were necessary, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to survive there."

"That should be the case. If they really go, the army won’t not prepare equipment for them." Feng Qingxue was clear about the post’s location - it was one of the ten most arduous posts in the country, located at an altitude of more than 5000 meters. There was no sign of spring, only icy snow. The sentries stationed there usually stayed up in the mountain for many years, with all supplies being carried up on foot from below.

The conditions were much tougher than here.

Feng Qingxue thought for a moment, then said: "The cashmere clothes and woolen clothes that you and I have worn have been washed and put in a box, as well as the cashmere gloves and socks I knitted. Take out two sets and give them to Zhu Rong, and add one of your sheepskin jackets for him and his daughter to wear. Also, apologize for me, I feel embarrassed about today. I didn’t yield at all."
