“Join the military?”
Qi Yuefeng’s eyes widened in surprise. She looked at Gu Qingjiu, saying, “Qingjiu, do you know what you’re talking about? Why would you... join the military?”
Knowing how Gu Qingjiu’s body had been delicate since childhood, it made Qi Yuefeng feel agitated.
She was very fair, so fair that it seemed to glow. When others applied three layers of powder, they would not even be as fair as Gu Qingjiu’s neck.
Her skin was very delicate, if pinched slightly, the mark would not fade for several hours. Moreover, Gu Qingjiu would be left breathless after doing physical labor for some time and it was unrealistic to even ask her to mop the floor at home.
Mr. Gu often teased Gu Qingjiu, saying that she was born to have a princess’s life.
With her situation, she still dared to join the military?
What kind of place was the military? It could make people shiver just by hearing the word. Qi Yuefeng had raised Gu Qingjiu well and did not believe an ounce of what Gu Qingjiu said, and she was reluctant to let her go there to suffer!
“Mom, I’ve made up my mind.”
Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips, being firm for the first time in front of Qi Yuefeng.
That was because joining the military was the only way she could avoid the Yu family at present.
It was stupid to fight them head-on before she had gained enough strength.
No matter how much the Yu family could pull the strings in North City, it was a joke to want to touch the military!
That time, the Yu family used her to threaten the Gu family to let go and it was also because Gu Qingjiu was too timid. If the Yu family wanted to do anything to the Gu family, it would take some effort for them to reach Dayi City from North City as they had no connections in Dayi City. Gu Qingjiu was very clear about this.
If she went to the military, that would change.
She must seize the opportunity in these few months!
Not only would the distributed students have the choice of not continuing their studies or continuing the college entrance examinations, but they also have the choice of joining the military.
Now, it was voluntary to join the military and people from that division would come to conduct screening at their school. Gu Qingjiu had decided that she must enter the military no matter what.
“You... can’t. I have to discuss it with your father.”
Qi Yuefeng was having a headache because of her daughter’s sudden decision. She did not even notice what was wrong with her daughter.
Gu Qingjiu held her mother’s hand and refused to let go.
All sorts of experience in the two years of prison life made Gu Qingjiu see clearly that if people were weak, they would be stepped on and crushed.
She understood it the first time she beat a female prisoner who wanted to bully her, and it had caused that female prisoner a concussion. Although she was sentenced to life imprisonment, it gave her a peaceful life in prison.
At that time, those who had never experienced it would never understand the psychological change and despair she had.
And Gu Qingjiu did not expect to have a chance to be reborn at that time.
Her eyes were cold and the hand holding Qi Yuefeng tightened slightly.
Qi Yuefeng sighed and said, “Qingjiu, you have to think it through. There is no turning back when you join the military. I have to discuss this with your father when he comes back from work in the evening. Now go back to your room and think about it carefully!”
Gu Qingjiu nodded and then fell silent again. Clenching the crumpled distribution form in her hand, she went into her bedroom.
Just before entering her room, Gu Qingjiu turned to look at Qi Yuefeng.
In her eyes was a joy of recovering what had been lost.
