Chapter 1172: Too Conventional, Too Vulgar

After Xiao Tong heard Ning Shu’s story, she asked with wide eyes, “What about the father of the child?”

“Didn’t I tell you that he abandoned his wife and child? It’s no big deal,” said Ning Shu, unconcerned.

“Master, you’re really open-minded.” Xiao Tong felt a lot closer to Ning Shu since they were both women who had been hurt before.

What was the point of lingering on these kinds of things? No matter the predicament, there was always a way to strike back. Even if all that was ahead was death, at least die meaningfully. If you were going to die, you should at least drag someone else down as a cushion.

My life is so fr*cking tragic, so those who hurt me must end up even more tragic.

Tang Zheng came and told Ning Shu that the commander had agreed to her condition. He wanted to arrange a time to personally present the medal to her.

Ning Shu was relieved. At the very least, this way she had won her rights and even if the higher ups wanted to steal it, she wouldn’t end up in a helpless situation. This situation was the best outcome.

The commander dragged his injured body over to put the medal on Ning Shu. He also gave her a formal statement that said that this powder still remained under her name.

Ning Shu looked at the statement, then quickly glanced at the commander’s face. She suddenly felt that something wasn’t right. The commander was only doing this in order to repay her for saving his life. If she really accepted this, then his favor would count as repaid.

Human relationship was based on reciprocity. No matter what you owe, you shouldn’t owe a favor. If this man doesn’t die, he’ll definitely become a person of very high-rank. Having someone like this owe her a favor was worth way more than any patent.

Besides, she had to consider Zhu Siyuan. Knowing a person like this would also be very beneficial for Zhu Siyuan’s future. This was something that no amount of money could buy.

Furthermore, after she left, this person would likely look after Zhu Suniang a little.

Ning Shu tore up the statement and handed over the prescription that she had written with a military salute. “I am a citizen of this country and the formula of this powder is really nothing much. If this powder can save even more soldiers, it also counts as my merit and virtue. Things like having a statement of ownership is too conventional, it’s way too vulgar.”

The commander lifted his eyebrows and glanced at Ning Shu. At last, he laughed, then took the prescription and left. Tang Zheng paused for a moment and said to Ning Shu, “You made the right choice.”

Ning Shu wiped at the cold sweat on her forehead. She had almost been blinded by money. It was a good thing to have someone who could protect Zhu Suniang and her child in this era of troubled times.

Zhu Yanqiu, who was working on lighting a fire, heard that Ning Shu had awarded a second-class military merit citation and his eyes went completely red. This was impossible! How could that woman get a second-class military merit citation? How did she obtain it?

Zhu Yanqiu threw aside the firewood he was holding and went to find Ning Shu. He immediately demanded, “How could you possibly have obtained a second-class military merit citation? How did you get it? Did you do something dirty!?”

Ning Shu took off her gloves and flung a slap at Zhu Yanqiu’s face. The slap forced Zhu Yanqiu’s face to the side and was so powerful that he staggered a bit before he recovered his balance.

Ning Shu said coldly, “What did you say just now? Try saying it again?”

Zhu Yanqiu had been slapped so hard that he was seeing stars and his brain felt dizzy. When he heard what Ning Shu said, he reflexively shouted, “You shameless bitch! Moral-less married wretch! What dirty things have you done!?”

Zhu Yanqiu just couldn’t accept the fact that this woman had gained military merit citations. What right did she have!?

Ning Shu slapped Zhu Yanqiu’s face again. Half of his face started swelling up from the slaps, making a sharp contrast with his other half.
