At The Lius, whenever Wang Xueyong came by, Liu Haihua would find ways to get close to him, and at those times, The Lius would tacitly leave them alone. After giving birth, Gao Guihua became weak, so Wang Xueyong was even less likely to refuse Liu Haihua’s advances. Now, with Wang Xueyong and The Lius sharing both glory and loss, it was natural that The Lius wouldn’t report him, in fact, they would even cover for him and Liu Haihua. "Auntie, I saw you with my dad yesterday," Wang Zhengping said in a low voice to Liu Haihua early in the morning. Liu Haihua was startled, then she smiled and handed a piece of candy to Wang Zhengping, "You can’t let anyone know, understand? Otherwise, your auntie won’t give you any more candy." "I understand, Auntie, I won’t tell anyone." Wang Zhengping happily accepted the candy, then added, "Auntie, I want to eat meat, too." "Okay, Auntie will buy you meat to eat." Liu Haihua smiled and patted Wang Zhengping’s head, always ready to grant his requests. Because of this, Wang Zhengping became the go-between for Wang Xueyong and Liu Haihua. Whenever Wang Zhengping craved candy or meat, he would bring Wang Xueyong to The Liu’s house, where he’d get his sweets and meat. This made Liu Haihua even more delighted with her son’s actions, rewarding Wang Zhengping each time. Raised at The Lius’, he had grown closest to Liu Haihua. Wang Zhengping didn’t have such a close bond with Gao Guihua, who also didn’t try to win him over with treats, naturally making Wang Zhengping much closer to Liu Haihua. Because Liu Haihua was so obliging with Wang Zhengping, he had no regard for the trinkets from Gao Guihua; perhaps it was just a mother and son’s instinct. At The Lius’, Wang Zhengping was only close to Liu Haihua, not much to Mrs. Liu, Liu Haiguo, or Feng Ying. And so, every time Gao Guihua saw her son shouting "Auntie, Auntie" but was unwilling to come near her, not sparing her a glance, she felt deeply resentful. After buying meat, Liu Haihua personally cooked for her son. Watching him eat happily, she slightly smiled and thought about getting some medicine. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 Since having Wang Zhengping, Liu Haihua wouldn’t risk getting pregnant again, so she always sought out medicine after being with Wang Xueyong, not willing to take the risk if she became pregnant. Thinking of the daughter raised by Gao Guihua, Liu Haihua scorned her in her heart, not seeing Gao Guihua as a threat at all given her useless nature. But Gao’s Guihua’s frail health was actually pleasing to Liu Haihua as it meant Wang Xueyong would belong entirely to her, with Gao Guihua only holding the title. Liu Haihua didn’t have any intention of harming her right now, yet she constantly wished for Gao Guihua to die soon and make room for her. On Wang Xueyong’s side, he returned to the town early the next morning. Mrs. Wang waved the letter in her hand at him, "Yuncai has written a letter." "What does it say?" Wang Xueyong took it and asked. "Read it for yourself. She’s saying she wants to follow Ai Guo into the military." As soon as Mrs. Wang’s words fell, Wang Xueyong read the letter and then said, "That’s great news, she’ll be on the same Sky Island as Gao Jiaxing? My brother-in-law sure is capable." Mrs. Wang laughed, "Aside from being a bit ugly, Ai Guo is good in every way, really making us proud. He wrote about some major assessment, with Gao Jiaxing becoming Deputy Company Commander, and a platoon leader position opening up. He wants to compete for it." "Good, I support him," Wang Xueyong nodded repeatedly. Thanks to Wang Yuncai marrying an accomplished veteran and having acquaintances in the military, her husband also participated in this year’s major assessment. As Wang Yuncai’s husband, he was already familiar with Gao Jiaxing and the He brothers. Additionally, as Gao Jiaxing stood out the most in the assessment, not only was he promoted to Deputy Company Commander, but he also had the opportunity to attend military school, naturally drawing the attention of Wang Yuncai’s husband. Gao Jiaxing and their presence on Sky Island were no longer a secret, and many were eyeing that place, eager to go there. Initially a secret unit, they became noticed due to their outstanding performances in the assessments. Moreover, this was already Mu Zhenhai holding back as much as he could, but with Gao Jiaxing’s promotion to Deputy Company Commander, the vacated platoon leader position immediately attracted interest. One reason was the reputation of the unit; the other was Sky Island itself. Sky Island was something Mu Zhenhai had applied for, but now its riches were enviable to many. Even some approached Mu Zhenhai wanting Gao Jiaxing, trying to poach him. There were offers for Liu Yuanchao too, but being Mu Zhenhai’s son-in-law, he was definitely not going anywhere. Mu Zhenhai refused to budge; cultivating an elite trump card was not easy. Gao Jiaxing excelled in physical fitness and all other aspects and learned quickly and improved rapidly. Mu Zhenhai treasured him like a found gem and wouldn’t allow him to go to another military region. Now that the platoon leader position was vacant, Mu Zhenhai certainly didn’t want to give it up to another military region, having already conceded with Lin Jianfeng and Yu Shijie. Mu Zhenhai didn’t wish to give up the platoon leader position to another military region, but the large military region he controlled, and its subordinate regions, were all vying for it. Mu Zhenhai left it up to them, giving the authority to Liu Yuanchao. After all, it was his unit, and competition for who had better physical qualities or who was more excellent was up to them. Thus, without too much interference from Mu Zhenhai, a few more soldiers were arranged to come to Sky Island. Seeing Wang Yuncai among the military wives, Xia Xiao was utterly speechless, but at least he didn’t have to stay here much longer and heaved a slight sigh of relief. It was just unfortunate that Gao Jiaxing had to stay until next year; otherwise, Xia Xiao would have wished to leave immediately.
