The 1960s: The Story of a Country Girl's Journey to the City

"Why don't you call my uncle and ask him to go back to the village and inquire?"

Bao Ya was really eager to know the answer. San Mao nodded hurriedly in agreement. They had lived in the same village for so many years, and they never expected to have such a shocking secret.

The army commander ignored the two of them and turned to Division Commander Qin, saying:

"I'll send someone to the village to check. She can't leave the army until the person I sent returns."

After saying that, he left without waiting for anyone else to speak.

On the way back, Bao Ya's mind was in turmoil.

It's very likely that Qi Jianjun took the place of that child and gained the army commander's favor, which is why he rose through the ranks in the military.

The Qi family wouldn't have...

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but shudder. I never expected to discover so many secrets around me.

She originally wanted to get rid of the female lead, but now it seems she's ruined the male lead, and everything's in chaos.

She can't leave the military until things are cleared up. What does that have to do with her?

On his way back from the office, he saw Qi Jianjun being taken away by two people. He saw Bao Ya and wanted to come over to talk to her, but he was stopped.

Bao Ya was upset; her train ticket had been refunded, and she couldn't leave the army yet.

The spy who released the pigeons hasn't been caught yet, but everyone knows she stole a chicken, and they're all looking at her strangely.

With nothing to do at home all day, I could only occasionally chat with Jiang Tao about the soft sleeper compartment.

Two days later, Wang Xiao came to call her to the division commander's office again.

On the way, Bao Ya felt uneasy, sensing that something bad was about to happen.

"Has Cha Qijianjun's men returned?"

On the way, Bao Ya couldn't help but ask Wang Xiao, "Judging by the time, it shouldn't be that fast."

"No, I have other things to do today."

Wang Xiao looked around and, seeing that there were few people, lowered his voice and spoke to her.

He sighed again as he looked at Bao Ya. Was she a monkey? She was always causing trouble, and now she'd come knocking on his door.

"Someone from the General Military Region is looking for you. Be careful. Think carefully about what you should and shouldn't say."

Judging from Wang Xiao's attitude, he felt like he was in big trouble. What kind of big trouble could he be in that he was being bitten by a spy?

Okay, Bao Ya is someone who listens to advice, so she silently prepared her defense in her mind, thinking about how she would argue later.

I saw Fang Mingda outside the political commissar's office, whom I hadn't seen for several days.

Bao Ya first glanced at his leg, and it seemed that he was no longer lame.

Seeing Bao Ya looking at his leg, knowing she was still concerned about his injury, Fang Mingda chuckled, stamped his foot, and said to her:

"It's all healed now, and the cast has been removed."

Bao Ya nodded and was about to walk into the house.

Fang Mingda stood in front of them and said to Wang Xiao:

"I'll go in with her."

"Okay, with you inside, maybe the one inside will behave a bit."

Then Wang Xiao turned to Bao Ya and said:

"You should also be more careful and control your temper. I'll wait outside; if things get too bad, just run away."

Bao Ya looked at Wang Xiao, then at Fang Mingda. What were they talking about? Was there a mad dog inside?

Why is it running away? Why is it biting itself?

Following Fang Mingda into the house, Bao Ya saw a middle-aged beautiful woman sitting on the sofa. She looked very well-maintained, except for a few fine lines around her eyes.

However, what is most eye-catching is the beauty mark at the corner of her eye, which gives her a unique charm.

She was wearing a military uniform but no military cap, so she must work in a military region, not be a soldier.

The woman was slightly taken aback when she saw Bao Ya, but she quickly regained her composure.

I never expected a country bumpkin to have such beauty. No wonder Qi Jianjun was so infatuated with her.

Lin Chuxue was at least a pretty girl, not much worse than the girls in the performing arts troupe.

She had initially wondered what kind of upright gentleman Qi Jianjun was, someone who could remain unmoved by women, but now it seemed he was nothing more than an ordinary man who would be tempted by lust.

Thinking of this, she curled her lips in a mocking smile, and her gaze toward Bao Ya became even more critical.

Before Political Commissar Gu could speak, she spoke first:

"You must be Lin Baoya?"

The woman spoke with disdain, her arrogant attitude and the way she called her name made it sound like she was calling out something filthy.

"Yes, it's me. And who are you?"

Bao Ya has never had a good temper, so seeing this person's attitude, she naturally wouldn't give her a friendly look either.

"You don't need to know who I am. Now, write a statement explaining why you wronged Lin Chuxue for Qi Jianjun's sake, and I'll let you go. Otherwise..."

"What else can you do? You think you can kill me? Look at how capable you are."

Bao Ya was so angry she laughed. How dare she make such an outrageous request right off the bat? Who did she think she was?

"Don't be ungrateful. Someone like you had better behave yourself! Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

"How do you know I can't handle it if I haven't tried? Maybe you can't handle it either."

By this time, Bao Ya had roughly guessed the identity of the person who had come, and she looked at him with even more contempt than she had looked at herself.

Bao Ya's gaze infuriated the other person, who immediately pointed at Bao Ya's nose, as if someone had stepped on their tail, and said in a harsh tone:

"You ungrateful wretch, do you know who I am? How dare you be so arrogant..."

"Director Gao, please watch your words and actions!"

Commissar Gu, standing nearby, couldn't stand it any longer. This guy, relying on his father's influence, had always been arrogant and disrespectful. But to act so wildly in front of him was a clear sign that he didn't take him seriously at all.

Gao Lanzhi realized she had lost her composure, rolled her eyes at Bao Ya, and didn't finish her sentence.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Baoya replied:

"I know who you are. Aren't you just that secondhand girl from the chief's family? Not only do I know, but the whole commune knows."

"you……"

After saying that, he looked at Gao Lanzhi with a half-smile, his expression full of provocation.

She recalled some plot points from the book and found them quite interesting, so she didn't think the person in front of her was anything special.

Commissar Gu's face fell immediately. He couldn't understand what this girl had eaten to grow up like this, how she could do things that only added fuel to the fire. He didn't know where to start if he wanted to protect her.

Gao Lanzhi's face was contorted with rage. Her hands trembled as she pointed at Bao Ya, muttering "you, you, you" but unable to get the words out.

"Ahem, Director Gao, please calm down and let's talk things out."

While Fang Mingda was speaking, Bao Ya pulled up a chair and sat down in front of them, crossed her arms, put her legs up, and looked at Gao Lanzhi with a nonchalant expression.

"You little slut, you think you're so great? Either write down the proof I gave you right now, or you'll face the consequences!"

"Really? I'm so scared. How did Lin Chuxue threaten you? How can you be sure she knows things I don't?"

She knew Lin Chuxue had threatened her? Gao Lanzhi was shocked by her words and took a step back, somewhat incredulous.

His gaze toward Bao Ya changed from shock to confusion, mixed with a hint of fear.

Commissar Gu, who was trying to ease the tension, also silently shut his mouth and looked at Gao Lanzhi. Her reaction seemed very strange.
