Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 222 The Young Couple Meets

Seeing her like this, Lin Huayu was frightened and immediately went to find a doctor.

After the doctor came to examine her, Bai Jing drank some warm water, and her throat finally felt sweet again.

"I'm not dead."

When Lin Huayu heard her first words, he was so angry he laughed.

"What, do you want to die?"

Bai Jing is good at reading people, so she said the most flattering things, "Captain Lin, I'm so happy to see you again."

Lin Huayu glared at her. "Heh, I don't want to see you again, Bai Jing. Tell me, where did you get the audacity?" Thinking of what had happened before, Lin Huayu trembled.

This girl is so young, even if something happens, it's not her place to step up. But what about her?
Just because she has some power, she ignores him, the captain. Does she really think he has a good temper?

"Captain Lin, don't be like this. I still remember how I used to cling to you." Bai Jing looked at him pitifully.

What she said wasn't untrue. After this mission, she planned to find Jiang Chen to get their marriage certificate, then leave the Dark Division and stay at home to be a good wife and mother.

Okay, being a good wife and mother is only temporary. Her biggest dream is to make more money.

God gave her a second chance, and she was determined not to miss this opportunity. This time, she wanted to be a rich woman, a wealthy person who would never have to worry about food or clothing.

She didn't want to do any big business; her biggest dream was to become a recipient of land expropriation compensation, so she wouldn't have to suffer and would have both money and leisure.

"Ha, clinging to someone's coattails? Do you think that's even possible?" After spending time with her, I understood the meaning behind those strange words. "Dream on."

"No way, Captain Lin, how can you live such a life of ease?" Bai Jing was anxious. Although she didn't know how powerful the Lin family was, Lin Huayu was someone she was willing to invest in.

Hearing her words, Lin Huayu's eyes reddened with anger again. When he saw her trying to get up, he could no longer contain his rage. "Bai Jing, behave yourself." With that, he pressed her back down. "Lie down properly."

"If you promise me, I'll lie down properly." She couldn't miss this opportunity to curry favor with him.

In the end, Bai Jing won, and Lin Huayu surrendered because of her injuries.

I told her about what had happened recently and that I would go back to her once she was discharged from the hospital.

"Is everything over?" Thinking of the amount of money she had accumulated in her system, Bai Jing was genuinely happy; her life was saved.

"No, but we won't have to worry about what happens next." They were just the vanguard; the rest was left to the military.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing was delighted. Considering that she still had some time, she planned to stock up on more medicinal herbs here. In this era, there were many medicinal herbs of good quality, which would be something that money couldn't buy in later generations.

"Captain Lin, please do me a favor." Bai Jing looked at her captain with pitiful eyes.

"What kind of trouble are you going to cause now? Don't you dare get me into any more trouble." I'm really afraid of her; she never does anything right once she starts thinking.

"No, no, we won't," Bai Jing quickly explained. "My boyfriend and I aren't in good health, and I'd like to buy more medicinal herbs here. Could you help me get a permit to buy some from the herb purchasing station?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Huayu felt relieved.

"That's possible, but what kind of medicinal herbs do you need? I'll go buy them for you. How much can you buy? Can you eat it all?" Buying medicinal herbs is no problem in D City, which is a major medicinal herb city.

He himself bought several top-quality ginseng roots and kept them just in case.

Seeing her foresight, a rare smile appeared on his face.

“Great, I’ll read it, you memorize it first.”

Bai Jing first explained the medicinal materials in the health-preserving pills and the beauty-renewing formula. Then she asked for some high-quality medicines, such as He Shou Wu and wild ginseng. She also mentioned the age of the herbs, all of which were over fifty years old.

The more Lin remembered, the darker his face became.

"What, are you planning to eat these medicinal herbs as food?"

He was so angry that his hands started to tremble.

"No, no, this amount is a lot, but it won't last long. Jiang Chen's body will never be able to do without medicine. I think it's not enough. If you don't believe me, bring me my cloth bag and I'll show you the note from the army."

She used that permit to buy medicinal herbs before, since Jiang Chen's story was true.

Even the approval slips issued by the military can't lie.

In a few more years, this note will be useless.

If you don't gather good stuff into your own space now, you'll have to spend a lot of money to buy good things later.

Team Leader Lin didn't believe her, so he took her bag and gave it to her. However, Bai Jing had a back injury and was exhausted from before, so she had no strength in her hands.

She struggled to lift it several times, so Lin Huayu helped her open it and rummaged through it, where he found the note she had been carefully keeping.

It does indeed have the military seal on it. Moreover, as a soldier, I naturally know where this seal comes from.

He never expected that Jiang Chen would be a member of the J City Special Forces.

But he has health problems, and we don't know if he can still stay inside.

The talent needed there are top-notch soldiers from all over the country. In the past two years, he has seen Bai Jing write letters quite a few times. Although he doesn't know her address, he can tell from her lack of activity that Jiang Chen must be a rare talent.

"Alright, I'll go buy it for you." Fortunately, he had an acquaintance at the herbal medicine purchasing station. Although there was a lot of stuff, it wasn't anything valuable. Apart from the precious herbs she wanted later, everything was easy to get.

Bai Jing was pleased and asked him to take out a savings book from her bag, which contained the salary Jiang Chen had given her.

"Team Leader Lin, go get the money. Buy as much as you can, and ideally spend all the money in there." There's over 30,000 in that savings account; that should be enough.

Lin Huayu took out his savings account and glanced at it. "Heh, you're quite generous." Thirty thousand yuan! That's less than half of what he has in his savings account.

"Look at the name on it, it's not mine. Lin, you know best how much I earn." Her salary and bonuses combined barely amount to a little over ten thousand yuan, but she has to spend money on food, clothing, and other necessities every day, so she can't save that much.

Sure enough, when Lin Huayu looked up, the name Jiang Chen came into view.

"He's a ruthless guy too." He knew all too well that saving so much money in the army required risking one's life.

"Since he's not in good health, you should talk to him and ask him to retire from the army." This kid is working too hard, but there's not much else he can say.

Bai Jing could naturally hear the concern in Team Leader Lin's words.

"Yes, I will tell him." What she didn't say was that Jiang Chen was not only a soldier, but also a very capable researcher.

This is all kept secret, and she certainly wouldn't cause Jiang Chen any trouble.

Bai Jing stayed in the hospital for seven days. Her wound scabbed over, but it wasn't fully healed yet.

In the past few days, Lin Huayu has spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy medicinal herbs for Bai Jing, and has almost emptied the medicinal herb station of all the good stuff.

Not only that, he also used his connections to collect many good things from many villagers.

He offered a high price, and many people were happy to sell to him. In addition, with people from the herbal medicine station taking the lead, there was nothing wrong with it.

The villagers were naturally happy to sell their produce at a high price.

Therefore, many people go into the mountains to find good medicinal herbs.

Even so, it only cost a little over ten thousand. Bai Jing then bought some more medicinal herbs needed for the medicinal wine, which weren't too expensive and didn't cost much more.

However, Lin Huayu only agreed to buy medicinal herbs for her after learning that she could also brew medicinal wine, based on the condition that he would give her ten catties of it every year.

Bai Jing didn't care; she was going to cling to Captain Lin's coattails anyway, so she was naturally willing to give him up.

On the tenth day, three days after Bai Jing was discharged from the hospital, they boarded the train back to City A.

What Bai Jing didn't know was that someone was already waiting for her to come home.

His condition was also very bad; not only was he blind, but his body was also weakened by the shock.

Bai Jing happily returned home, but the moment she pushed open the door, tears streamed down her face.

"Is Xiao Jing back?" Jiang Chen sat down under the eaves. Although he couldn't see, he could still see some blurry images in front of him.

He heard a sound when the courtyard gate was pushed open.

At this moment, there was only one person he could think of who could be here.

"Xiao Jing, is that you?" Jiang Chen excitedly tried to get up, but he couldn't see clearly. As soon as he took a step, he fell to the ground.

Even though Bai Jing was very excited, she noticed his difference. "No, don't move, Jiang Chen, don't move."

Her mind went blank. Although she didn't know what had happened to him, judging from his appearance, it must be something serious.

The commotion in the courtyard alerted the person busy in the kitchen. He was sent by his superiors to take care of Jiang Chen. They had been back for half a month, and he knew that Jiang Chen had a fiancée who wasn't home.

The commotion outside made him drop what he was doing and run out. As soon as he came out, he saw a little girl rushing toward Leader Jiang.

Without saying a word, he stepped forward to stop the person, but before he could stop them, he heard Leader Jiang call out a name: Xiao Jing.

If he remembers correctly, the name of Jiang's partner in the documents contains the character "Jing".

So, this pretty young girl is Jiang's girlfriend, his fiancée?
"It's me. What happened to your eyes?" Bai Jing had already reached Jiang Chen and helped him up. She asked with a worried expression.

Touching her calmed Jiang Chen down. "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine. How about you? Did you get hurt this time?"

He touched her all over; if he were a normal person, Bai Jing would have thought he was being a pervert.

Unfortunately, his eyesight was poor, so he could only use touch to refute his point.

"I'm fine too. Come on, let's sit down first." After helping him sit down, Bai Jing took a good look at him. Apart from his somewhat cloudy eyes, he had lost a lot of weight. Not only that, Xiao Jin also told him that Jiang Chen's body had been damaged again, and he had stopped taking the health-preserving pills.

She was angry and anxious, but she dared not say anything.

Wiping away her tears, Bai Jing comforted him, "What could be wrong with me? What happened to you? Why did you hurt your eyes? Did something go wrong with the experiment?"

Although she didn't understand what scientific research was, she knew that people who did scientific research had to conduct experiments, and she was afraid that his eyes were damaged because of some kind of experiment.

If what she guessed is true, then it might be troublesome for his eyes to recover.

Bai Jing wasn't worried about him not being able to recover, after all, she had the Source of Life in her hands. As long as he didn't die, she could raise him back to health as long as he had a breath left.

"No, I'm fine. As long as you come back safely, I'm fine too." The gloom in his heart dissipated, and he felt that the light before his eyes had brightened a bit.

This person is still thinking about me even at this point.

How could she not be moved by such a good man?

"I'm fine, really. You'll see for yourself when your eyes are better."

After the two finished exchanging greetings, the person who came to take care of Leader Jiang spoke softly to acknowledge his presence: "Hello comrade, are you Comrade Bai Jing?"

Bai Jing then realized that there was another person in the house, dressed in a military uniform.

"you are?"

"Hello, I'm here to take care of Leader Jiang. My name is Wang Zhongping," Xiao Wang introduced himself.

Jiang Chen smiled and turned his head towards Wang Zhongping, as if he could see him. "You've worked hard these past few days. Go back in a few days, and bring me a report with you."

He has thought it through these days. He doesn't want to leave her again. The country is important, but she is equally important to him.

If he really had to choose between the two, he would choose her.

"That won't do, Leader Jiang. You know I'm just a bodyguard. How could I dare accept your report?" He knew the situation of the person in front of him.

If I were to actually take his discharge report back, he might not even know what kind of punishment he would receive.

Although Bai Jing didn't understand, she didn't get too involved in Jiang Chen's affairs.

He had his own plans in mind.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhongping asked her to persuade Jiang Chen.

"Comrade Bai Jing, please persuade Leader Jiang. The country really needs him. He vomited blood and fell into a coma after learning about your mission. He was so shocked that he went blind. The doctor told him to rest, but he insisted on being discharged from the hospital to wait for you because he was worried about you."

Wang Zhongping dared to say such a thing because he had received orders from above.

Otherwise, given his military status, he wouldn't have so casually leaked information about Jiang Chen.

Even if the other party is Jiang Chen's closest person.

Jiang Chen wasn't stupid; he naturally realized this, so he didn't blame Wang Zhongping.

"Okay, you don't need to tell me, I'll tell her myself."

Jiang Chen interrupted his speech, "Go cook."

Wang Zhongping looked at Bai Jing, wanting her to express her opinion.

Bai Jing wasn't stupid. Although she felt sorry for Jiang Chen, she supported him even more. "I know about this. I will discuss it with him, but I'd rather support him."

After saying that, she helped the person up and led them into the house.

Wang Zhongping watched the two figures, a feeling of indescribable sorrow welling up in his eyes.

Inside the house, Bai Jing first showed concern for Jiang Chen, and then began to accuse him.

After the two confessed their feelings again, Bai Jing told him the result.

"I originally planned to go to the army to find you after completing this mission, wanting to come to you with glory and to make myself more qualified to stand behind you. Jiang Chen, you know my abilities, so there's no need to worry about me so much. I wasn't a key member of the team in D City this time, so how could anything happen to me?"

Whether to reassure him or for some other reason, Bai Jing glossed over the danger.

"Now that I'm back safe and sound, I was even thinking of resigning from my job. I never expected you to end up like this. Do you not want to marry me anymore?" Bai Jing's voice was filled with resentment and anger, but her tone was flat.

The more she acted like this, the more worried Jiang Chen became, fearing that she would get angry.
