Chapter 870: Chapter 0870: Turn Against Each Other 4

For the next two days, Jiu Hong and Lu Zhao Di kept quiet.

Neither Lu Jiang nor Zheng Xuefeng saw Lu Zhao Di again, and they weren’t rushed by Jiu Hong to approve his application.

In the still of the night, Lu Jiang murmured a few words to Feng Qingxue.

"Jiu Hong and Lu Zhao Di are getting a divorce?" Feng Qingxue was very surprised.

Beyond her surprise, she also thought it was to be expected. Others might not know, but she was aware that Jiu Hong had taken a fancy to Bai Xue even before Lu Zhao Di had joined the army. After Battalion Commander Bai had told her, she had always kept it in mind.

A dog can’t change its habit of eating shit.

Feng Qingxue didn’t believe that Jiu Hong, who had long harbored feelings for another, would stay faithful to the notoriously disreputable Lu Zhao Di.

Without Bai Xue, there were still plenty of Jin Xues and Yin Xues in the army.

The troops recruited new soldiers every year, and there were always new female medics coming in. This year, a cultural work team had been established. Although not all members were women, lively and pretty female soldiers made up eighty percent of the roster.

Now, the people in charge of the female soldiers in the cultural work team were Yang Fengying and Fang Ning.

As for Bai Xue, she seemed somewhat fed up with the drama of the cultural work team. She feigned illness to leave the army and now relied entirely on Su Junlin to support her. However, Su Junlin treated her very well and, except for sending some living expenses to his parents and children, gave two-thirds of his salary and allowances to Bai Xue.

Bai Xue, bored to the extreme, even volunteered to look after Feng Qingxue’s children out of sheer boredom.

Xibao was smart and quick-witted, and Fubao was cute and attractive. Bai Xue wished they were her own, "Let me look after them for a few days, they might bring me good luck."

Bai Xue also wanted a child of her own.

With a child, she wouldn’t have to worry about Su Junlin not being devoted to her.

Feng Qingxue dared not let her look after her children, afraid she would lead them astray.

"Xibao and Fubao are very well-behaved. They don’t make a fuss when I’m working, and I can’t bear to have them out of my sight. So I can only turn down your kind offer," Feng Qingxue reflected. Who could have imagined that two people, who were once at odds, would end up now with one willing to look after the other’s children. Truly, turning over a new leaf is a miraculous phrase.

"I’m going with mom, and I’m learning to write!" Xibao held up her schoolbag, "Study hard and make progress every day."

This time, Xibao spoke first, leaving Fubao tearfully spinning in her eyes, "I’m going with mom, and brother is teaching me the Three Character Classic, people at birth, are naturally good..."

Bai Xue quickly covered her little mouth, "Don’t recite that! Don’t recite that! Qingxue, don’t teach the children the Three Character Classic anymore. Right now, there’s such an uproar about old thoughts and old culture. Aren’t you afraid of being targeted? If someone reports you, you’d be in big trouble, as the Three Character Classic is considered old culture and old thought. I’ve been wandering around the families’ compound, and there are plenty who are jealous of how well you’re doing. I heard from Old Su that in the Capital, landmarks, steles, temples, statues of gods and Buddhas, and so on have all been smashed. Outside the Capital, many are following suit, and many seniors from the academic and artistic communities have had their homes ransacked; ancient books and paintings were burnt up, and some have even lost their lives."

Feng Qingxue felt a chill in her heart; she had been so careful, yet she had overlooked that the Three Character Classic was part of the old culture. It was a slight oversight in an otherwise vigilant life, "Thank you, Bai Xue, for reminding me. I won’t ask the kids to recite the Three Character Classic anymore."

Bai Xue waved her hand dismissively, "No need for thanks, I just don’t want to see such a good family like yours get ruined. After spending some time with you, I’ve realized you’re a good person. You haven’t held a grudge for my past foolishness, and you’re not like some others who smile and speak nicely to my face but haven’t stopped spoiling my reputation behind my back." No wonder her aunt told her to make friends with Feng Qingxue.
